From Ninghua to Tingzhou Prefecture City, we mainly walk the "Guanma Avenue". This official road is two meters wide and is the main transportation route from Tingzhou Prefecture to Shaowu Prefecture and Yanping Prefecture. It is also the five main roads from Fujian to Fujian Province. Along the way, you have to pass through three stations: Shiniuyi, Guanqianyi and Linting Post.

At sunset, the convoy arrived at Shiniuyi, roughly located in Shiniu Village, Caofang Town, Ninghua, later generations.

In this era, the post stations were equipped with horses and donkeys, and the business was mainly maintained by collecting horse silver. Here, they worked as a job to welcome and send off. Anyone who could get a "Guan Fu", that is, the letter of introduction from the government, had to provide food, accommodation and help transport luggage.

Chen Xi jumped out of the carriage and looked around. A small street formed around the inn, including shops for daily necessities, tea stalls for passers-by to quench their thirst, and wineries and inns for food and accommodation.

The convoy does not have an official identity, so naturally I cannot stay in the inn. Fortunately, there are several inns on the street, so I don’t have to worry about sleeping in the open.

The inn that night was very deserted, and there was no one else except Hui Niang and others. Chen Xi felt a little embarrassed. Maybe he had seen too many martial arts in his previous life. Any hero who stayed in a store on the road would have to encounter a black store.

For safety reasons, except for those who stay in the inn yard to guard the carriage, the rest of the people should live in the yard, so that they can take care of each other.

Chen Xi and Lin Dai also have five maids sleeping in a room. The bed is not big and needs to be used for a floor. Chen Xi and Lin Dai can naturally sleep in a bed as the little master.

But before Chen Xi finished washing, Lu Xier and Hui Niang yelled for a long time, then ran over to get up and sleep with Chen Xi. In the little girl's heart, it was the happiest thing to lie in Shen Xi's arms and listen to stories, and even I had to leave it behind.

After the lights were turned off, Chen Xi felt uncomfortable with the woman in the room, but soon Xiu'er's snoring sounded, and Ning Er fell asleep after complaining for a few words.

Xiaoyu's floor was close to the bed. She tilted her head and pricked up her ears to listen to Chen Xi telling stories. Chen Xi told the two little lolitas about Andersen's representative work, Hai's daughter.

The mermaid princess fell in love with the prince on land. In order to pursue love happiness, she endured great pain and took off the fish tail and exchanged for human legs. But the prince married the woman on earth. The witch told the mermaid princess that only by killing the prince and causing the prince's blood to flow to her legs could she return to the sea and live a carefree life again. But for the prince's happiness, the mermaid princess threw herself into the sea and turned into bubbles.

The story is very touching, but due to the journey, the two little loli were also very tired. As they listened, they fell asleep. Chen Xi covered the two little loli's quilts, but when he turned sideways, he found that Xiaoyu was looking up at him.

With eyes facing each other, Xiaoyu hurriedly avoided her eyes, pulled up the bedding and covered her head.

Chen Xi was worried about a lot. Although he closed his eyes, his consciousness was particularly clear. After a long time, he found that Xiaoyu was still tossing and turning, and couldn't help but laugh.

Yi will be on the road tomorrow. Although sitting in the carriage can make you sleepy, I am afraid that Lin Dai and Xier will bother you and tell stories, and it will be impossible to be unenergized. Chen Xi forces herself to fall asleep as soon as possible.

However, Chen Xi still couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so he had to start silently counting the goats in his heart. Unconsciously, he finally became confused. In a dim mood, he was awakened by the sound of gongs and drums.

Chen Xi hurriedly got up, got out of bed and came to the window a few steps, opened the window and looked out. The forests in the distance were red, and the fire became brighter and brighter. It was obvious that the dry earth objects caused the fire to erupt and spread.

Everyone in the inn was awakened. Chen Xi opened the door. At this time, Shen Mingjun and Zhou had just put on their clothes and came out. Shen Mingjun said, "I'll go and help put out the fire."

Zhou scolded: "You are crazy, how can you save such a big fire? Besides, putting out fire is the government's business, and the fire cannot burn here now."

Hui Niang also came out at this time. Her clothes were neat, not like she was sleeping in a garment. Most likely, Hui Niang was worried about the safety of her carry-on luggage and had not yet gone to bed until late at night.

I asked the inn about the situation and learned that the inn had sent people to the mountains to see the situation. However, because there was no fire dragon team at the inn, even if a forest fire occurred, I could only let the fire run wild.

Lin Dai and Lu Xier were very scared. The adults did not allow them to go out. They grabbed Chen Xi's arm and shivered all over. Lin Dai couldn't help but complain: "It's all your fault. What about Flame Mountain? This is good. The wildfire is really coming. Can't you tell the story of the snowman?"

When Chen Xi heard this, Lin Dai attributed the responsibility for the forest fire to him.

Chen Xi curled his lips: "Next time I tell the story of the snowman, I'm afraid I'm facing heavy snow to block the mountain, and an avalanche came to bury you two little naughty guys."

Lu Xier blinked her big eyes and asked, "Brother Chen Xi, after being buried in the snow, will he be dug out hundreds of years and be resurrected?"

Chen Xi felt speechless, and it was because the stories he told on weekdays that poisoned the two little loli too deeply, which made them have some strange thoughts.

The place where the wildfire broke out was about ten miles away from the inn, but if the wind was good, it would spread quickly. Fortunately, the wind direction was not the northwest wind that night. Finally, the fire went along the ridge and went to another mountain. By dawn, there was no sign of weakening.

The pedestrians spent the night in panic. As soon as the dawn appeared the next day, Hui Niang had already set up a journey. Fortunately, the convoy was full of staff, and people could be replaced in the middle to catch the car, and the escorts could change shifts and rest in the carriage.

The convoy started again. As the official road was covered with smoke, many people's eyes were red. Chen Xiyi had not rested well at night, and leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. Lin Dai and Lu Xier leaned against his arms listlessly, and soon the three of them fell asleep in the bumps.

Because of this wildfire, the pedestrians were not in good spirits. As the sun sets, they finally settled in a small town in front of Guanqianyi. This town has people from the inspection department stationed in this town, so they don’t have to be afraid of robbers or robbery, nor do they have to worry about forest fires again.

Early in the morning of the third day, pedestrians continued to set off. At this time, Tingzhou Prefecture City was less than forty miles away. You can reach it at noon.

In the end, this road was much smoother than what I had walked before. Because of the good rest at night, Lu Xier and Lin Dai were both regained their spirits. Especially Lu Xier, Yilu sang the cheerful Hakka folk songs taught by Hui Niang, as if she wanted to express her joy in singing.

Before noon, pedestrians gradually became dense on the road. Chen Xi opened the window and saw the city walls standing tall in the distance from Ninghua County to walk two hundred miles southwest. Pedestrians finally arrived at Changting County, the head of Tingzhou Prefecture.

As a prefecture, Changting County is much more lively than Ninghua County. Before we reached the North City Gate, the shops on both sides of the official road were already crowded with people coming and going.

The carriage had to slow down and moved towards the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, Hui Niang asked someone to submit taxes for the road and entry into the city. The convoy passed through the city gate hole, and soon appeared in front of him with two-story buildings with shops on the street.

Because Tingzhou Prefecture is facing the relatively barren Lingnan in the south and the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, it shows a situation where the north is heavy and the south is light, and relatively speaking, the north is richer in the north of the city.

The people from the chamber of commerce who had arrived in Fucheng in advance had come to welcome him. Because he had nowhere to stay, his family lived in Fulai Inn next to Kaiyuan Temple in the city.

According to folk sayings, "Before Tingzhou Prefecture, Kaiyuan Temple was first there." Kaiyuan Temple is the largest ancient building complex in Tingzhou. It is known as the ancient temple of Tingzhou. There are many shops around the temple, which is the most prosperous place in the city.

After the two families settled down, Hui Niang gave the twelve men who had gotten up and arranged a place for them to stay in the car and horse shop outside the city, so that they could rest well and leave for Ninghua County the next day.

This Fulai Inn is also the best in Changting County. It is much cleaner and luxurious than the inns in Ninghua. Of course, the price is not cheap. Each room is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars every night. The two families asked for four rooms. The Shen family and Hui Niang lived in each room. The five maids, Ning'er, Xiaoyu, Shen Xi, Lin Dai, and the remaining three maids lived in each room.

After arranging the news, Hui Niang went out with the people from the Chamber of Commerce. The person who was in charge had already asked several shops in Mingcheng that were waiting to be rented and where the yard was located, and Hui Niang needed to make a decision in person.
