The buildings in Fengsi County are obviously different. They are not as neat and tidy, but have a sense of interlocking. From the moat to the city gate, there are yellowish and white marbles, then to the pillars painted with red paint, and the blue and white stone walls are scattered in the alleys.

, there are several large sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the yard just across the road. The black flat tiles are separated from the red high tiles, like two flowers intertwined, connecting the people of Fengsi County together.

Past Fengsi County is the border. The people here are really all kinds of people, but they are not that exaggerated. They are mainly Chinese and human. It is normal for the beasts and other ethnic groups to crowd out of the city.

Phenomenon.

Chang Yufeng looked at the people walking on the street. Although he didn't know anyone, he felt more friendly when he saw some of the gorgeous clothes. They had the same black hair and eyes as him, and they were standing in that direction.

It will not be different from the white-haired, red-haired, or even green-haired ones. It does lack a sense of difference. It is different and different. Those people looked at this handsome young man wearing a mage.

The robe still feels strange.

Winds, winds, are driven by winds, because the protruding barren mountains on the boundary are like two canyons, blowing strong east winds on both sides of Fengsi City. Even on this sunny day, winds and tornadoes can be set off.

Therefore, for convenience, the border post station is located in the south of Fengsi County, which is backed by the wind direction, and you need to continue going down to get there.

Chang Yufeng's footsteps were fast enough and he arrived at the border station in time for sunset.

There are many inns, and their styles are all kinds of weird. The wind shelter where dragon carriages and horses are parked at the border of Fengsi County is underground, like a small warehouse. Chang Yufeng originally wanted to rest near the north, so he found a closer inn and asked.

The store said they had no vacancies, so Chang Yufeng had no choice but to leave. After asking all the time, it turned out that only the last one had vacancies, in a remote small house.

Chang Yufeng shook his head and said he would not check in, thank you.

It's better not to stay in a small hotel like this on the border. The boss didn't say anything. Chang Yufeng looked at the people who came in and took up the vacant room. He hesitated a little, but there was really no hotel where he could stay now.

I am alone outside, so I don’t have money. It’s just that a child like this can’t stand the harm. I didn’t want to come to a remote place, but after walking all the way, I still came to ask, and now

No more, and I don’t think it’s that rare.

The boss's asking price is not harsh, only three gold coins.

Three gold coins are equal to thirty silver coins, which is equal to 300 copper coins. If you save money, five copper coins can buy three steamed buns, and you can eat several good meals in a restaurant. After careful calculation, it is not much cheaper.

.

I am a helpless child, and I am still alone. I am not willing to be slaughtered, as if I am sulking, sleeping on the street, even if there is wind and snow in the Emerald City

I have stayed there before, and besides, it gets very hot at night in Fengsi County, so I can still survive even if I am half-lying on the street.

As Chang Yufeng walked, he looked at people in the same situation as him. There were actually quite a few people in the same situation as him. The moon slowly appeared, shining on the pavilion specially prepared for people sleeping on the streets. The magic lights also lit up simultaneously.

Many of them definitely don't really have money to stay in hotels, but they just don't have the time, or they don't like those remote shops, so it's really hard to tell who is noble and who is low.

But this is generally true. Many of the people sitting on this continuous pavilion are just waiting for the border to open, and they can't tell the difference. Chang Yufeng has lived for so long, and he knows this truth, so he has to be careful.

Just like I gave up on that remote shop, I naturally need to identify where I can sit down and rest, and where I can lie down quietly for the night.

Small vendors are moving around. They don't hawk, they just push small wooden boxes around.

Most of the people at this time were chatting. Some of them were sitting upright, drinking tea, and some were counting their goods. When Chang Yufeng passed by, they even took a special look. Chang Yufeng naturally knew that he was being treated as a thief.

The spies left naturally, and some of them were relatively small people, children like himself, who didn’t know why they were living here, and their life experiences were ups and downs. Chang Yufeng watched them laughing and playing, feeling low.

He shook his head and left quickly. There were even people who specially came to see these people sleeping on the streets. Several soldiers on guard looked at Chang Yufeng. They must have no idea. When the time came and the magic light was turned off, they also

will leave.

On the way down, Chang Yufeng scratched his head and hurried back. He was a little confused as to why there were so many people stuck here. He needed to ask clearly. This must be related to whether he could enter the empire.

within the territory.

I stopped at a pavilion in the middle of a crowded place, touched my pockets, and bought three buns from a vendor.

Ten copper coins must be given one by one.

Moreover, the last one still needs to be searched for in your pocket for a while. Poor, that's what it is.

When doing this, the merchant glanced at himself with some contempt. Chang Yufeng nodded and smiled. His tattered robe really matched the smile.

Everyone looked at this poor boy and continued to do what he was supposed to do as if he was no longer surprised.

Three buns can keep you hungry for a long time, and they are still quite big. Although they are twice as expensive, they are still reasonable. No, since the price is twice as expensive, you may not be able to have two buns that are so big.

A portion of stuffing, how should I put it, is considered a good deal, and neither the merchant nor the buyer owes anyone anything.

"Dad, how long until we can go home~" A little girl asked her father in the pavilion. Chang Yufeng glanced at it. The girl had double-layered pigtails, which were neatly taken care of.

The wandering child was very different. His father was a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance. He touched her head and said, Hurry, Hurry, Xueer will be able to go home soon.

They are obviously Chinese. Their fancy clothes are not luxurious, and they look like just ordinary Chinese.

The little girl felt aggrieved and touched her father's face. She didn't necessarily cry, but she cried a little bit: "Daddy answered Xue'er like this a few days ago, but we are still here~"

"Xue'er, be good, don't worry. Daddy will ask tomorrow. We will definitely be able to go back." Xue'er's father's face touched Xue'er's face.

Xueer was tickled by Hu Za's touch and giggled again.

Children can have mood swings, which can be considered cute, but adults can't. Xue'er's father is still full of sadness.

"Yue Housheng, can you apply for an entry permit? What did he say today?" A person who seemed to be an acquaintance said to Xueer's father: "Isn't it true that the border is not open anymore? How many white people are there?

Thousands of Chinese people are staying here, so it’s not necessarily a solution..."

"Yes, this is definitely not a solution, but they also have their own difficulties. If a secondary demon enters the border of the empire, it will be difficult for anyone to explain. Just wait, it will be fine. As long as we are not infected, we will definitely

Will let us go back." Xue'er's father put a small ornament on Xue'er's head.

"Didn't you say you were just here to negotiate the price? Why did you stay here for so long..." The old man touched his beard and drank a glass of wine.

"It's really troublesome stuff. The person who bought it wrote a letter and regretted it. I had to go back and negotiate. This negotiation lasted for several weeks. Not to mention the schedule delay, this matter happened again. Now it's our turn.

Bian regretted it and canceled the deal. There was nothing we could do about it." Xueer's father lifted Xueer's hair with a flat palm and took off the small clip on her head.

"Hey, don't tell me, this is unlucky. It's like this. Even if you drink water, your teeth will be blocked." The old man clicked his tongue and put the cup down: "To be honest, the people here are all a little bit weak. I'm alive."

It’s been so long since I’ve seen a real secondary demon, and when I saw it that day, it’s really hard to say. It was so scary, I really thought about how good it would be to live in a dream.”

"This is something to be afraid of. You don't have to make people not afraid." Xue'er's father untied Xue'er's braid, turned Xue'er's hair away in small strands, and gently combed it straight with a small comb.

Chang Yufeng found that this little guy was looking at her, eating the buns, and was a little greedy. Chang Yufeng raised the buns, and her big obsidian eyes looked up. Chang Yufeng put down the buns, and her eyes

The big obsidian eyes looked down.

Her father combed her hair carefully and could not see her little movements.

Chang Yufeng looked at the bun, thinking that he might be asking questions, so he ate the old bun, pinched half of the other bun and gave it to her. She took it, squinted her eyes and looked at Chang Yufeng with a smile.

Feather maple.

"Why don't you thank me soon, brother." Her father was about to refuse, but he glanced at Chang Yufeng, then smiled and smoothed her hair, teaching Xueer this sentence.

"Thank you, brother~" The girl also had a milky voice, but it had some babbling milky voice, some sounds,

"Where are you going, little brother? Or have you just come here?" Xue'er's father opened the other braid. Xue'er looked at Chang Yufeng in her head and put the bun down while speaking to show respect.

"I just arrived, and I'm about to go to the empire." Chang Yufeng answered truthfully, chewing the bun slowly.

"I think you don't have enough money. I just saw that you were not rich when you bought these two buns. If you share these buns with my Xue'er, won't you be starving..." Xue'er's

Father took a small comb to comb Xue'er's hair, gently and gently, to make Xue'er's long hair smooth.

"It doesn't matter. I don't know why you are here, uncle. What's going on in front of you? Why are there so many people stagnant here?" Although Chang Yufeng asked, he must know the reason. It is very simple. There is no escape.

He had just heard the secondary demon coming out, but he didn't know the origin of this nice-looking uncle. If we could spend the night together tonight, it would be better for him to take care of himself.

"My surname is Yue, my first name is Liangshan, and my courtesy name is Shuihuan. There is no need to call me uncle. I'm not that old. However, depending on your age, it's okay to call me uncle." Yue Shuihuan turned the little guy over, and his daughter kept talking.

Looking at Chang Yufeng, she was still a little reluctant. When she turned around, she kept staring at Chang Yufeng. Knowing that she was being corrected by her father, she straightened her little skirt and wiped her little hands with a small cloth.

"There are secondary demons that have not yet been found. The incident in Wenti County has caused panic. I think my little brother already knows about it. However, there has been no news about the secondary demons in the past few days. It is estimated that the border will be opened in a few days.

If little brother has any urgent matter, I’m afraid it will be difficult to solve it immediately.”

"I'm fine, I'm not in a hurry. I still have enough money on me. If I make three meals a day with steamed buns, I can handle two meals. There's no rush." ​​Chang Yufeng said no, with a thick smile, and said that he

This trip was because I went to see a relative. Now that I have returned home, I no longer have to live such a hard life.

"When you were drawing money just now, it took you half a day to pay for it. It turns out you were a clever little guy." Yue Shuihuan straightened Xue'er's clothes and continued: "But it's really fast. It's either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. This letter

The border has been closed for a long time. People outside are anxious, and people inside are also anxious. If we can't support the trade volume for such a few days, we won't let it go. It will be opened eventually, but now is not the time."

Chang Yufeng nodded silently.

Indeed, if this is the case, no matter how strict it is, one lesser demon will bring about a group of lesser demons.

Demonic Qi infection is not a joke. To a large extent, this kind of creature that is as infectious as the plague is almost the same as the plague except for the different way of infection, such as being injured.

People can allow natural disasters to occur because they are unavoidable, but people do not allow man-made disasters to occur because man-made disasters can be completely prevented. The spread of secondary demons like a plague is something that must be stopped and can be controlled on a small scale.

There is nothing to be afraid of, and people must be alert.

It’s not that if you don’t see it, you don’t have it, but if you don’t see it, you still feel like you are facing a formidable enemy.

"By the way, little brother, haven't you stayed at the hotel?"

"No……"

"Are you alone?"

"Yes……"

Chang Yufeng found that almost everyone who met him would ask him if he was alone. Maybe it was unbelievable to normal people, that such a small child came to the border alone.
