Chapter 293 Gexi Town

Almost unprepared, Lu Mengji embarked on a journey to the border.

Due to the emergency of the border war, Lin Dai and Mo rushed all the way to the northwest border. Lu Mengji, accompanied by several guards, walked slowly to the west.

Because he left in a hurry, Lu Mengji had to abandon the slightly beautiful flower garden again, which made Lu Mengzhu extremely sad. Every time he left home, he had to give up his painstaking family business, undoubtedly from his heart.

The carriage swayed for seven or eight days. Lu Mengji's bones were sore and numb. He entered the inn to take a few bites randomly and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Lu Mengzhi woke up thirsty from his dream and cheered for a long time. Finally, he sat up from ** and struggled to get out of bed to pour water, so he crooked at the head of the bed for a while. After a while, he suddenly heard someone walking outside the door, like the sound of a guard, but it was a little different.

"Sister, when will we go home!" The man who was guarding outside Lu Mengji's door looked at the woman in white with tears.

"Shut up! Master said that you can't go back until the task is completed!" Qingshuang threw his white eyes on the poor Xuanze, but his indifferent expression did not make Xuanze afraid.

"Sister, if we can never complete the task, don't we have to go back?"

"Nonsense, Master said, people are here, we are here, people are not here..."

"Let's get out of here." Xuanze accepted the way.

Qingshuang nodded, "You understand, okay, don't complain. It's your turn to be on duty tonight. If anything goes wrong, don't plan to go back to the mountain in the future. Like last time, hum, even if the eldest brother doesn't say it, Master can't forgive you!"

"I know."

"Come on, I've read it carefully these two days. No one should follow me, but there is no guarantee that the people over there will not follow me, so it's better to be cautious."

Lu Mengji raised his ears and listened carefully to the broken words outside, but after all, he couldn't hear it through the doors and windows. She raised her legs and quietly got out of bed and walked to the door. There was no sound outside. She opened the door and saw that there was no one in the corridor.

Xuan Ze hid in the corner and heard the sound of the door switch. He was close to the wall and didn't dare to make a sound. It was not long until Lu Mengji's room was silent, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned relaxed against the wall behind him.

"No, why is this wall so soft?" Xuanze touched up all the way behind him, but touched a soft cloth, and immediately his men began to work hard.

And the man behind him moved faster. Without waiting for Xuanze's hand to fall, his body had risen into the air. He gently tapped the wall and flew upstairs.

Xuanze didn't have time to think about it. He suddenly bounced up and chased him in the direction of the man.

When he chased to the roof, there was no trace of the man. Xuanze patted his head and shouted badly. He turned around and ran back, rushed to Lu Meng's house and pushed the door open.

Lu Mengji fell asleep after drinking water and was suddenly awakened by the sound of pushing the door. In an instant, he opened his eyes wide and stared at the man at the door.

"Who!"

"Well, I'm sorry, I went wrong!" Xuanze quickly exited the room, Lu Mengji rubbed his eyes in consternation, and the sleepiness that originally attacked people also dissipated.

In the morning of the second day, Lu Mengji leaned into the carriage with a pair of dark eyes, accompanied by the bumps along the way, and fell asleep again.

In the following dozens of days, the whole road was calm and there was no movement.

In the increasingly bumpy, the scenery of the northwest border gradually appeared in front of Lu Mengji.

From Pulan City to Kyoto, the poorest place Lu Mengjian saw was just the village life in Shita Village. However, when he arrived in the northwest, he found that life in Shita Village was already a medium-class life here. It was already a luxury enjoyment to eat and wear.

And under such basic living conditions, it is simply a dream to carry out flower business here!

But before leaving Huo's house, Huo Shuangcheng had clearly told Lu Mengji that she could not return to Kyoto for the rest of her life. Lu Mengji shamed the Huo family and directly destroyed the reputation that Huo's family had worked hard for decades. It was already a kind of kindness to let her walk out of Huo's house alive.

So I'm afraid Lu Mengji has no choice but to stay in this desolate place in his life.

At this time, the autumn wind suddenly rose, and the broad-leaved leaves began to fall with the autumn wind.

Lin Daimo led the pioneer troops to beat the invading barbarians. When the troops returned to Gexi Town, Lu Mengji's carriage also slowly drove in.

The two brothers Yuwen Yuwu, who arrived first, have looked for a two-in house in the town and stopped all of them. When Lu Mengji arrived, they lived in.

Although Gexi Town has not been affected by the war and the people's lives are still stable, after all, it is remote, the climate is not good, and it is not good at farming, so the people's lives are very poor.

Lu Mengjian got off the carriage. When he first saw his own house, his heart suddenly felt cold. The extremely simple solid wood furniture was displayed in the hall, and the window paper pasted on the doors and windows was faint gray. This kind of furnishings, in the mouths of the Yu brothers, was already a luxury house in Gexi Town.

"Young grandma, the young master sent a letter and said he would be back in two days."

"Well," Lu Mengji nodded and was still immersed in the trouble caused by poverty. "How far is the battlefield from here?"

"About 100 kilometers, Gexi Town is relatively special, so it is rarely affected by the war." Yuwen deliberately comforted Lu Mengjie. Before coming to Gexi Town, Lin Daimo deliberately told him to create the best conditions for Lu Mengjie at all costs. However, the barrenness of this place has far exceeded his imagination. In addition to the safe geographical environment, he did not know how to persuade Lu Mengjie to stay.

However, it is obvious that Lu Mengji's endurance is much better than he thought.

"Do you mean that Gexi Town will be relatively peaceful?"

Seeing Yuwen's nod, Lu Mengjian's havoc ran again.

"How much food is there at home now?"

"There are about 30 stones, including the 10 stones of refined rice we brought from Kyoto and 20 stones of coarse rice purchased from the local high price. According to your instructions, they have all existed in the granary."

"Is that all? It's only autumn now, and there are still nearly five months until the end of winter. In addition, if we don't have enough food, we can only wait to starve.

"But if we collect all the grain, those people will have no food for the winter, and it will go on..."

"Well, I understand," Lu Mengji interrupted Yuwen's words. Life here was obviously more difficult than she thought. "What about charcoal? Are you ready?"

Yuwen nodded repeatedly, "You can rest assured that the most indispensable thing here is wood, especially pine and cypress, which burns well and warmly!"

"Where's the dish?"

"Cai, this is not that the villain doesn't buy it, it's really not!"
