Chapter 1624 Fengmen Mansion
"Alas! This matter really needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, so I won't keep you here. If Brother Wu needs me in the future, just send me a message. As I said before, I will do my best to do it."
Hearing this, Meirou nodded silently, sighed, and the concern in her eyes was clearly visible.
"Well, I won't be polite to the fairy!"
…………
One month later...
Yuanzhou, located in the central and western part of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, manages eight prefectures, and the area of each prefecture is not less than that of Xia State.
It can be said that the land of Yuanzhou alone occupies a considerable area, and its interior is also prosperous, which is not a bit stronger than Ningzhou in the north.
Among them, Fengmen Prefecture is a prefecture that can be ranked in the top three, and its overall strength is stronger than other prefectures.
This situation occurs because there are many kinds of rare mineral veins in this area, and there are three awe-inspiring forces here, which also creates the strength here.
It is worth mentioning that there are more or less Yuanying-stage cultivators in these three major forces, and the Bai family, a family of immortal cultivators, is even more well-known and powerful, because in this family, there is an old cultivator of the middle stage who has been famous for thousands of years, which makes people feel awe.
This person has always lived in seclusion, but his strength is really terrible, and almost no one dares to provoke him.
In this way, the Bai family has become a veritable local snake in this place.
………
On this day, a wedding procession came out of Handan City in a mighty manner. Everyone wore red and green, and it was festive and lively. Wherever they passed, gongs and drums were loud, and suonas were playing, attracting the people in the city to come out and watch.
If you are lucky, you will also be given red envelopes, copper coins or wedding candies. It can be seen that the identity of this host is not ordinary. Obviously, it is not a powerful person, but a member of a big family.
Of course, these people are mortals with no cultivation, just a marriage in the secular world.
In this procession, near the bride's sedan chair, a young man was walking slowly with his hands behind his back. He looked absent-minded and obviously had no interest in this wedding. He seemed bored while walking and occasionally turned his head to look around to kill time.
But at this moment, the curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and a head covered with a red veil poked out from inside.
The man gently lifted a corner of the veil, revealing a beautiful face.
The woman's eyes turned and finally fell on the young man. She smiled politely and said:
"Doctor Wu, how about I send someone to match you with a horse? The journey is long this time and we will arrive at noon tomorrow. Don't tire you out, Doctor Wu!"
The woman's voice was so pleasant that people nearby turned their heads to look, and everyone looked amazed.
"No need to bother, young lady. Although Mr. Wu is a doctor, he is still strong. A short journey won't tire me out."
But the young man just glanced at the woman, shook his head, and looked away after saying it indifferently.
"Is that so? Well, if Dr. Wu is tired, tell me and I'll ask people to stop and rest!"
The woman smiled awkwardly, not angry at the other party's indifference, and shrunk her head into the sedan chair.
During this period, the team did not stop. As for the people who came, they looked at the young man curiously for a few times, and then they all did their own things.
In this way, in this festive atmosphere, the team quickly walked out of Handan City and finally drove on the wide official road.
There were almost no pedestrians along the way, and the sound of gongs, drums and suonas in the team also stopped, and everyone buried their heads in the road.
The journey was long and everyone needed to conserve their energy, but even so, except for the frequent replacement of the porters carrying the sedan chair, the team rarely stopped to rest along the way.
Until dusk, the team had left the official road and walked into a narrow mountain road, surrounded by lush forests, and often heard the roars of wild beasts.
This place was already deserted.
After a day's journey, everyone was already exhausted, and their walking speed slowed down significantly. Everyone was dejected and sighed.
Fortunately, the groom riding in front finally spoke, asking them to rest in place for the night and prepare to make a fire to cook.
This sentence was like the sound of nature, and everyone's face was filled with joy. They quickly dispersed and got busy. Some people started a fire to cook, some went to set up tents, some took weapons and ran to the periphery to be on guard, and some walked on the periphery. I don't know what white powder was sprinkled on the ground, and a pungent smell spread, which obviously had the effect of repelling insects and repelling beasts.
At this time, the ordinary-looking young man found a secluded place by himself, leaned against the tree roots and closed his eyes to rest, without any intention of helping.
After a while, the bride came with a maid, and it can be seen that the tray in the maid's hand contained several small plates of delicious dishes, and the bride held a pot of wine.
"Doctor Wu, you have been tired all day. This is what I specially ordered to prepare for you. Please eat more!"
The bride came closer, bowed, and said politely, while handing over the wine pot.
The maid was also a quick-witted person, and hurriedly bent down to hand over the tray.
"Thank you, young lady, just put the things here. You are a golden branch and jade leaf, you don't have to work hard for me, go back and rest!"
The young man slowly opened his eyes and did not reach out to pick it up. Although his words were polite, they were a bit stiff.
"Uh...! Haha, it's okay. After all, you are my father's savior. It's right to do this for you. Since Doctor Wu doesn't like to be disturbed, I will leave!"
The woman knew the other party's character. Although she was a little embarrassed, she was not angry. She put down her things as instructed, bowed to him, stood up and left.
The maid saw the same thing and quickly followed him.
After the people left, the young man looked at the food and wine on the floor with a strange look on his face, looking very interested. After hesitating for a moment, he actually picked up the side dishes with chopsticks and put them into his mouth, tasting them carefully. stand up.
Although these side dishes were really boring to him, he was immersed in long-lost memories.
As for the jar of wine, he didn't touch it!
"Oh! It's far worse than my mother's cooking! It's even worse than my little sister's!"
The young man took a bite of every dish, but in the end he shook his head and sighed. A trace of loneliness and strong longing flashed in his eyes, so he simply put down his chopsticks, looked up at the sky, and stopped tasting!
"Haha, I can't say that. Maybe it's because in my heart, no one in the world can surpass my mother's craftsmanship!"
But soon, he smiled, murmured something, and closed his eyes.
