The convoy consists of three vehicles. The first one is occupied by people, and the two following vehicles are filled with dozens of boxes, large and small.

A middle-aged couple and a pretty girl were sitting in the first car, and they were being helped out of the car by servants.

In addition to the drivers of the three carriages and two servants, a man and a woman, the convoy also has four guards with swords on their waists. However, they have not cultivated martial arts and are not considered martial arts. .

Lu Zheng saw the other party, and of course the other party also saw Lu Zheng.

The four guards’ hands were on the hilts of their swords.

In the barren mountains and ridges, a scholar has no package and is walking alone. He is either a foreign object or a foreign person.

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and just glanced at them, then didn't care, just prepared to pass them and continue on his way. .

"It is very difficult for this young master to walk alone. We are destined to meet each other. It is almost noon now, and I am not short of food here. Why don't we have lunch together, and then you can go on your way. ."

Seeing that Lu Zheng was about to cross the convoy, the middle-aged man who had just got off the car suddenly said, "The mountain trails are not easy to walk, and there are still more than ten miles to the country inn ahead. I have eaten enough. So we can go on our way."

"Master!" A guard reminded him in a low voice, "This person is not simple."

The middle-aged man nodded and smiled, but he didn't He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll save it."

The guards didn't know how to observe. Although the middle-aged man was kind-hearted, he was not a fool. He just glanced at them when Lu Zheng was there, and then he simply Ignoring them, he spoke only when he was about to cross the convoy.

This shows that Lu Zheng has no desire for them, and is worried that they will misunderstand him, and even later does not even look at them.

Since he is not a bad person, and he is obviously willing to take care of other people's emotions, the middle-aged man is naturally willing to reciprocate the favor and invite Lu Zheng for a meal.

Lu Zheng paused and looked back at the crowd.

The middle-aged man has a kind face, but there is a hint of majesty. His wife is graceful and elegant, with a gentle temperament. The young girl has bright eyes and white teeth, and she looks at Lu Zheng calmly and generously.

Handsome and elegant, with bright eyes like stars, he is such a handsome scholar with a vigorous appearance.

Lu Zheng smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Thank you, sir, for your kindness, but no need. I'm getting off to a good start. It's still early. It's not too late to rest at the inn."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Young Master, there is no need to be polite, and don't worry about the inconvenience for me. It is the right thing to help each other when we are away from home."

The young man cupped his hands and extended his hand sideways to make a gesture of invitation.

"There was a strong wind in the forest, and my guard happened to find a dilapidated temple, where he happened to make a fire to cook and take a rest."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, I thought this middle-aged man was quite warm-hearted.

"Okay, thank you sir." Lu Zheng nodded in agreement.

…

The driver and servants took the cooking utensils and food from the carriage behind, while the four guards tied the horses to the trees on the roadside, and then and the middle The young man's family and Lu Zheng walked into this dilapidated temple not far from the roadside.

This temple is obviously just a small rural temple. Among the half-collapsed walls, only the front hall is still intact. There are also the ruins of several houses behind it, overgrown with weeds. I don’t know. How long has it been abandoned?

In the front hall, the statue of the god on the altar has only half of its body left, and it is not even possible to tell which god it belongs to.

However, a mural painted on the wall inside the temple is quite complete.

The guards cleaned a corner of the front hall, and found a few chairs from the backyard and collapsed beams from the back building to serve as seats, and asked the middle-aged couple to sit down.

However, only the middle-aged man pulled Lu Zheng to sit down together, while his wife and daughter helped the two servants with the food.

"When you are away from home, you don't have to pay so much attention." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I wonder what you call me?"

Lu Zheng took a look at the food he had prepared. , there were vegetables and meat, and then I heard the middle-aged man asking, and he raised his hands and said, "I'm in Xialu Zheng, from Tonglin County, Yizhou Prefecture."

　Gu寊/span "Yizhou?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned, "Yizhou Mansion in Lingbei Province? Are you not from Yinan Dao?"

"No." Lu Zheng shook his head.

"Then I see you are heading east." The middle-aged man asked again.

Lu Zheng said, "That's right, I'm going to Huizhou to do something."

"Yizhou and Huizhou are thousands of miles apart, and you just walked all the way here. Already?" The middle-aged man looked Lu Zheng up and down, then reacted, cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Du, Shang Yu and Xi Ru."

"Mr. Du!" Lu Zheng cupped his hands and said with a smile, " It’s not urgent. I’ll enjoy the sightseeing tour all the way.”

Is this a sightseeing thing?

Du Yuru’s eyes flickered, knowing that the scholar in front of him was really a strange person.

"Does the young master have any fame?"

Lu Zheng shook his head."No."

"Master, the food is ready, let's eat together." Mrs. Du came and said.

"Oh, okay, Mr. Lu, please!"

Lu Zheng said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Du, then I'm welcome."

The food was very simple. Du Yuru and his party brought dried vegetables and meat. They made a pot of soup and served it with steamed buns, which was their lunch.

"Do you drink, Mr. Lu?" the leading guard asked, holding a water bag.

"No, thank you." Lu Zheng shook his head and refused.

"I just heard Mr. Lu say that he is from Tonglin County, Yizhou?" Mrs. Du asked.

"Exactly."

Mrs. Du continued to ask, "I wonder if Mr. Lu has ever been to Yizhou Prefecture? How are the people's customs? To be honest, Mr. Lu, our trip is I just went to Yizhou Prefecture to settle down."

"You are going to Yizhou Prefecture?" Lu Zheng blinked and thought, no wonder Du Yuru was surprised for a moment when he heard that he was from Yizhou Prefecture, so he said , "It's very good. Yizhou is known as the most prosperous in Lingbei Road. The people are simple and the streets are lively. It's suitable for both life and business."

"There's nothing bad about it?" Du Yuru interjected and asked.

“I’ve actually only been there two or three times, so I’m not particularly sure.” Lu Zheng could only spread his hands and said, “At least it’s pretty good just by looking at the surface.”

"What about the county seat?" Du Yuru continued to ask.

"I have been to Pingtan County. The place is relatively remote and the development is not smooth. Tonglin County is located between Yizhou and Yaozhou next door, which is quite good." Then Lu Zheng picked up again. One sentence, "But I only live in the county. I don't know what the towns are like."

Du Yuru nodded and smiled, "I saved you, thank you, sir."

Lu Zheng said, "Mr. Du is too polite, I only understand the surface, it is the kind that everyone can see."

Mrs. Du and her daughter laughed and felt This Mr. Lu is quite sincere.

　……

Lu Zheng and Du Yuru chatted casually. Mrs. Du and her daughter had small appetites and finished their meals early. They handed the bowls and chopsticks to the servants, and then Walking around hand in hand, we soon came to the mural on the side wall of the front hall.
