The sun moves westward, and the red clouds and azaleas are red.

The Xie family's chariots and horses moved forward, because it was close to Langya, when they set off from the other courtyard this morning, Xie Yunxi was finally able to get rid of the torture of the carriage and changed to an ox cart.

The bullock cart is slow but gentle.Xie Yunxi stretched her arms, watching the old cow in front of her stepping on her hooves with a happy mood.

Compared with an ox cart, a carriage without a shock absorber is definitely a nightmare for traveling.

However, the shock absorber is really not something that can be made if you think about it. At least with the current copper and iron technology, even though a lot of manpower and financial resources have been invested, there is still no way to make this thing in a short time.

But hard work will always pay off. Xie Yunxi believes that one day in the future, he will be able to put a shock absorber on his carriage.

However, even though the future is promising, the carriage is still not sensitive at the moment.

Especially after going through the toss of this long trip, he swore that he would never go on a long trip again until the shock absorption of the horses and horses did not break through.

A good Langya Peach Blossom House doesn’t smell good, so why bother going outside to suffer?

At this time, on the bullock cart, the surrounding veils were lifted and fixed at the four corners, and the veils swayed slightly when the breeze came.

Looking out from the inside of the car, the scenery on both sides became more familiar, and the longing in my heart became stronger.

Returning to the heart is like an arrow, but the ox cart is slow and patient, Xie Yunxi rolled his eyes, and Dang even thought of a good way to divert his attention.

The method is: eat snacks!

This car was busy picking out snacks, but Shen Le, who was sitting side by side in the same car in the other car, had a different mood.

In front of the cart, Ah Niu pulled the reins and lightly waved his whip, driving the old cow towards Langya.

Shen Le looked at the scene ahead, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, and unknowingly, a little apprehension arose in her heart.

It is said that a wanderer returns to his hometown, and he is timid when he is close to his hometown. He was born in the Shen family of Tianqi North Campus, but from his hair to his standing, Langya has carried too much of his ups and downs.

The bullock cart moved forward and crossed the border stone tablet, Shen Le glanced sideways, the stone tablet was mottled with age and weathered by wind and rain.

In the center of the stele, the three characters "Langya County" were chiseled by the blade.

The characters are still the same, the stele is still the same stele, and the gap in the upper right corner of the stele was made by him and Xie Lang back then.

The past is vivid, but goodbye is full of mixed feelings.

With emotion in his heart, the stone tablet gradually fell behind him.

Withdrawing his gaze and looking at the city gate ahead, he could say a thousand words, but only sighed: "Hey, it seems that I am indeed old!"

At forty, he is in his prime, but the vicissitudes of life and the heart are old.

A burst of inexplicable sadness struck, Shen Le opened his mouth, wanting to tell Ah Niu to stop and turn over, but just as the words came to his lips, there was a crisp "click, click, click" sound from the car.

The breeze is blowing on the face, with the feeling of autumn, and the fruity fragrance is refreshing.

Shen Le looked sideways inexplicably, and it was Xie Yunxi who was holding oiled paper and eating dried fruit slices.

The boy took out the dried fruit from nowhere, the dried fruit was piece by piece, sliced ​​very thin, and dried very crisply.With one bite, there was a crisp sound, and the young man took one bite after another, like a squirrel gnawing, humming an inexplicable tune while gnawing.

The tune was weird, but extremely cheerful to listen to.

Seeing this scene, Shen Le's mouth twitched a few times uncontrollably.

Sitting opposite each other in the same car, his side is full of sadness, nostalgic for the past, while Xie Yunxi's side is eating leisurely and enjoying boundless happiness.

Although the emotions between people are essentially incommunicable, but the contrast is so tragic, which makes him feel unbearable.

I thought that Xie Yunxi would find out about his sadness and comfort him when he turned around, but the person who comforted him did not wait, but there was only a young man who was heartless and blind, who was eating alone and eating happily. .

At this moment, Shen Le stared blankly at the gnawing and humming young man, the feeling of closeness and cowardice that had just risen in his heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by those ten thousand grass mud horses galloping and roaring in his heart.

After being stared at for a long time, Xie Yunxi was slow to notice the gaze on her side.

Instinctively turned his head to look, but met Shen Le's gaze, which contained a bit of resentment, a bit of helplessness, a bit of condemnation, a bit of lovelessness - it was quite complicated to look at.

Xie Yunxi blinked for no reason, and after a while, she said "Oh" as if she had realized something.

Immediately, I saw him stretch out his hand, tumbling in his lapel for a while, not knowing what he was looking for.

After a while, a bulging purse appeared in his hand.

What was in the purse was actually a pack of egg biscuits. In the past two days, Xie Yunxi was obsessed with smoking and roasting. In addition to grilling fish, meat, and chicken, he also baked some small biscuits that were convenient to carry.

There are small earthen kilns installed in the kitchens of Xie's other courtyards. Nowadays, earthen kilns are mostly used for firing utensils, but after being slightly modified by Xie Yunxi, it has also become a simplified version of the oven.

It is not difficult to use this oven to bake some simple ingredients, but the temperature in the oven is not easy to control. Fortunately, Xie Yunxi cooks a lot, and the chance of overturning the car is naturally reduced a lot.

At this moment, Xie Yunxi took out the biscuits wrapped in oil paper from her purse, and said with a bright smile: "Uncle Shen, whoever we are with, if you want to eat snacks, just say so."

While speaking, he stretched out his hand and handed over the oil packet, "No, this is my last packet of biscuits, I'll give it to you."

When Shen Le heard it, he was stunned for a moment, he looked at Xie Yunxi dumbly, as if doubting the reality, he lowered his head to look at the oil bag in his hand.

After a long silence, Shen Le finally came to his senses, but his mood didn't improve much.

He maintained his emotions on the surface, but he cursed secretly in his heart: Emma, ​​this brat actually thought I was greedy for his snacks.

It was a matter of his own reputation, Shen Le immediately patted his legs, and spoke righteously, "Is this gentleman like a person who is greedy and craving food?"

Xie Yunxi pursed her lips silently, but she cursed in her heart: It looks like everything!

However, as a good boy who respects the old and loves the young, he said kindly: "Yes, yes, what you say is what you say."

Such perfunctory and perfunctory words, as if the careless elders are coaxing the bear children, are quite annoying to hear.

Shen Le rolled his eyes fiercely.

But the young man at the side didn't know whether it was because his heart was too big, or his eyes were really bad, so he shook the oil bag in his hand, opened his eyes and talked nonsense.

"You take these biscuits to pad your stomach. Hey, it's because the kitchen is not good. Why did you only prepare a small amount for lunch? Uncle Shen, you are hungry now."

Xie Yunxi considers herself to be considerate, and she clearly wants to eat, but insists on saying that she doesn't like it.

He has seen this honest person a lot, so he is naturally very skilled in dealing with it.

Without even thinking about it, Dang even started to blame the kitchen, "Look, it's just Yin's time, but I'm so hungry in two or three hours, alas, I can only eat these dry fruit slices." Oh, it's so pitiful.

Dried fruit slices?

——Boy, before you say this, can you put down those "dry fruit slices" first, and don't chew them so happily.

Shen Le closed her eyes, took a deep breath, muttering to herself, but her movements were very honest.

No, in the blink of an eye, the oil bag in Xie Yunxi's hand appeared in Shen Le's hand.

"Cough cough" two times, "Forget it, your kitchen is already doing very well, and everyone with children knows that they have never experienced the hardships of long-distance travel. Alas, the Xie family is rich and generous, and there are post stations everywhere. People in the hospital, you are the only ones who can eat such good food when you are away from home.”

Speaking of the hardships of traveling far away, Shen Le has been deeply touched in the past ten years. Although he is a child of a family, he is not short of money and fame, but he has already lived in seclusion, so naturally he doesn't care about these things.

It's just that for many years, the four seas are my home, and I live here and there for short periods of time.Difficulty on the road was second to none, but the problem of eating and drinking caused him a lot of headaches.

Ever since he left home, there was only one A Niu left beside him.

As a servant, Ah Nian is indeed capable, but as a cook, for ten years as a day, the meals he cooks are edible and satisfying. Apart from that, there is really nothing left.

As for the taste and taste?

Alas, it would be nice if the food could be eaten, and it still looks delicious, what are you thinking about!

As far as Shen Le is concerned, the first half of his life was pampered, since he was hidden from the world, he used to read and write, arty, but - alas, the food is really tormenting people, otherwise he would not have learned some cooking skills on a whim back then.

As for eating outside, these days, all the good recipes are treasured by noble families, and some big taverns have a few special dishes, but the taste is actually better than usual, and it will be greasy if you eat too much. Big taverns are usually located in the downtown area, and literati and inkmen come and go on weekdays, and the chances of running into acquaintances are quite high.

Shen Le thinks that as a hermit, a bamboo forest hermit with B character, sentimentality, and principles, he naturally wants to stay away from the busy city, relax in the bamboo forest in the mountains, casually watch the situation, and put aside his appetite.

Ever since, he spent ten long years in such a tasteless manner.

Life is slow, year after year, the days are hard, and he is calm and unrestrained, but only this year after year, day after day, is too tormented.

Perhaps it was because of this that he was lured out of Wuming Village and Wuming Mountain by a meal of grilled fish the day before yesterday.

Of course, on the surface, Shen Le would never admit that she returned to Langya out of lust.

As the saying goes, a small hermit hides in the wild, a middle hermit lives in the city, and a great hermit hides in the court—it is not necessary for a great hermit to be in the court, but sublimation from a small hermit to a middle hermit is naturally an excellent self-improvement.

Look at this rhetoric, it is high-end and high-end, and it is very convincing. Shen Le doesn't know whether others believe it or not, but he is convinced of it anyway.

It can be seen from this that Xie Yunxi and Shen Le, the old and the young, have their own strengths and weaknesses in terms of brazenness and ability to tell lies with their eyes open.

The red glow is getting darker, and the city gate is approaching.

Among the carriages and horses, on top of the ox cart, there was a burst of "clicking" first, followed by a burst of "kazkaz", two sounds of gnawing, one after another, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Shen Le relaxed his posture, biting the salty egg biscuit leisurely, his mood brightened up, like the afterglow of the sunset that day, slowly falling on his heart, the warmth was just right, and the anxiety was gone.

At this moment, Xie Wenqing was driving the white horse close to the ox cart.

Shen Le's melancholy just now was very obvious, and Xie Wenqing was naturally aware of it, but he didn't know how to comfort him for a while because of his seniority, so he thought for a long time before he came up with a solution.

No, as soon as he got closer, he saw that the old and the young on the bullock cart were holding food bags tacitly, one was keen on dried fruit, and the other was greedy for biscuits, and occasionally exchanged with each other, with a leisurely and happy expression.

Xie Wenqing paused his movements, stopped his horse, and showed an indescribable expression on his face.

It seems that no matter how close you are to your hometown, you can't stand the temptation of Xie Sanlang's delicious food.

It's just—"Oh, I always feel that putting these two together will be a disaster."

Xie Wenqing sighed, shook the reins, raised the hooves of the white horse under him, and gradually left the ox cart again, out of sight, he still had to go his own way.

In front of the team, Xie Nianhua raised his eyebrows when he saw him come back, "Brother, I just said that Sanlang is here, so don't worry about it, as far as his virtue is concerned, he probably pretended to be ignorant and fooled him again." Bar."

"Oh——" Xie Wenqing sighed and shook his head, "Isn't that right, the two of them are enjoying it now, and their relationship is quite good, and I don't know how they will recruit them in the future."

"Hey, we can do the same." Xie Nianhua shrugged, and said firmly: "Trouble and trouble!"

Obviously, this idea coincided with Xie Wenqing's, and the two siblings looked at each other tacitly, speechless for a moment.

quite a while.

Xie Nianhua looked at the entrance of the destination he was about to arrive, and his ominous premonition grew stronger, "Hiss, I always feel that our house is the closest... well, it's not very safe." Or, she should find an excuse to hide outside?
