Male disciple of Baihuazong

Autumn is high and fresh.

The sunset glow is reflected on the wide river surface, attracting curious fishes, jumping out of the water continuously, making countless ripples.

Condescending, Liu Chengfeng's gaze crossed the unreasonably wide river and landed on the vast barren rocky desert on the opposite side.

This is the dividing line between Dachanghe, Qinzhou and Yangzhou.On the other side of the river, there are low hills, bushes and crop fields everywhere.On the opposite side of the river is a rare desert area in Yangzhou with a radius of hundreds of miles, which is sparsely populated.

A simple river, but outlines two worlds.

Liu Chengfeng stood on the top of the hill, looking up into the distance.Ye Yuan'er stood beside him and whispered, "Brother Feng, is this scenery beautiful?"

"Of course it's beautiful, but now I prefer to have an inn where we can rest."

Liu Chengfeng looked at the disciples of Chenlu Hall who were slumped on the ground, and other disciples of Blood Plum Blossom Hall who were exhausted.Compared with these classmates, the complexion of the two of them is pretty good.

Today is September 24th, fourteen days have passed since they set off from the Hundred Flowers Sect.During these fourteen days, what they did every day was rush on the road... The cloth shoes on Liu Chengfeng's feet have already changed two pairs, but they still haven't crossed the boundary of Yangzhou.

Liu Chengfeng looked around and could see several small villages down the mountain, with smoke from cooking everywhere.Farther away, there is a small town standing on the edge of the Dachang River.

When Liu Chengfeng first heard the name of this river, he was very speechless.But after seeing it with his own eyes, he felt that the name was really more appropriate.

It is said that this long river originated from Hanzhou in the northwest, flowed through more than [-] states on the way, and finally merged into the sea in the southeast of the mainland of China.After seeing it with his own eyes, he thought that only this name was worthy of this river, because if he stood on flat ground, he would not be able to see the other side of the river at all.

The widest river on earth is the Amazon River, which can reach forty kilometers in width during the rainy season, which is eighty miles in this world!But the width of the long river in front of him is a full 150 miles!It takes half a day to cross the river by boat.

The narrowest place in the vicinity is between two cliffs, but that is more than two miles wide.But the current there is so fast that it is impossible to cross the river at all.

"Everyone, sisters and brothers, pack up your bags and get ready to go! If you persist for another two hours at most, we will be able to arrive at Dukou Town before dark. There will be an inn and meals there, and we will rest in the town Three to five days. Please cheer up and persevere!"

Chunlan from Blood Plum Blossom Hall who spoke, she has the best martial arts among the crowd, and she also has the most relaxed demeanor.With her cultivation as a martial sage, with such a little strength and such a long journey, it is impossible to put pressure on her.

"You two don't sit and rest? Among these sisters, I envy your physique the most, and you don't feel tired."

Tu Mi'er sat up from the ground, and after half a month of running, she didn't deliberately maintain a defensive formation, so Tu Mi'er simply fell behind from the Blood Plum Blossom Hall and walked with Liu Chengfeng and Ye Yuan'er .

"Ha ha!"

Liu Chengfeng smiled dryly, except for Ye Yuan'er, he didn't let anyone know about the jasper lotus honey for the time being.This thing has the effect of improving physical fitness, and it is precisely because of this that the two of them seem to be able to do a job with ease during this run.

"How about I carry it for you?"

Ye Yuan'er pulled Tumi'er up, and reached out to pick up her bag.

"How can this be done? Even if I feel embarrassed, someone will blame me."

Tumi'er shook her head and said with a smile.She used to have a mediocre relationship with Liu Chengfeng, but after that trial, her opinion of him changed a lot.

Not everyone has the courage to stay behind in times of crisis.

The disciples before and after all stood up one after another, carried their bags on their backs, and prepared to set off.Tu Mi'er looked at the scene in the distance, and suddenly said: "Junior Brother Liu, just now you said that the scene here is very beautiful, why didn't I think so? Compared with Baihua Mountain, this place looks much more barren."...

Ye Yuan'er turned her head to look at Liu Chengfeng, she also felt that the scenery here was not good.Looking around, except for the big river, there is almost nothing to see on the other side.

Liu Chengfeng stretched out his finger, and turned his arm half a circle in the air, "Don't you think there is a kind of rough beauty here?" He looked at the Dachang River and the huge red sun that was about to set.In the far distance in the town of Dukou, there was a lot of smoke, and suddenly two lines of poems came out of his memory.

"The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river." Liu Chengfeng paused, and asked, "Don't you think this scene is beautiful?"

Ye Yuan'er and Tu Mi'er heard the words, and then looked at the distant rivers and mountains, and suddenly felt something different.

When the three of them spoke, they did not deliberately lower their voices, so the surrounding disciples could hear them.After Liu Chengfeng uttered these two poems loudly, all the disciples looked sideways at the Dachang River in the distance.

On the other side of the distant Dachang River, the desert seems to spread to the horizon.The river is long and wide, and under the setting sun, it is sparkling, even if it is so far away, it can be seen clearly.Looking far away, the round red sun formed a strong contrast with the Dachang River. The disciples who thought this place was barren all showed shocked expressions.

Especially in Dukou Town in the distance, the smoke rising from the kitchen seems to be connecting the world into one.

"Good! Good! That's really good! Brother Feng, you are really amazing!"

Ye Yuan'er turned her head again and looked at the scenery between the sky and the earth, it seemed so magnificent and so shocking.The other disciples also looked sideways, and when they looked at Liu Chengfeng again, they couldn't help but have a hint of admiration.

Although everyone is a martial artist, everyone can understand the artistic conception in these two poems.

"set off!"

At this time, Chunlan's voice came again, now is the time to hurry, and there is no extra time to appreciate poetry-although she admits that these two poems are very good, if she can't make it to Dukou Town before nightfall , I have to sleep in the wild again tonight.

At the moment Liu Chengfeng and the others stopped talking, and there were still tens of miles to go, so they didn't have the extra energy to gossip.

Dukou Town has a permanent population of more than 3000 people, mainly boatmen and traders.This is a relatively important relay station between Qinzhou and Yangzhou.Here, the flow of Dachang River is relatively gentle, which is suitable for ferry travel.Three hundred miles downstream along the Dachang River, there is another larger ferry.And upstream, you have to go another five hundred miles.

When Liu Chengfeng and the others rushed out of the town, the sky had completely darkened.Most of the people in the small town have gone to sleep at night, only a few large courtyards are still brightly lit.After everyone entered the town, Chunlan asked everyone to rest first, and then used her lightness kung fu to do a quick search. After finding a suitable inn, she came back to pick everyone up.

When Liu Chengfeng saw the gate of the inn, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional. After running around for half a month, he could finally sleep peacefully tonight.
