The two slowly got out of the cave. The girl followed with the children. She had not slept the previous night and spent a lot of time preparing a rich breakfast. At this time, her face was quite haggard.
The two walked forward for a while, and the girl led the two children to follow behind them step by step, reluctant to separate. Yi Fan had to say: "Sister-in-law, it's dangerous in the mountains, and you are carrying children, don't send them off again." The girl sobbed and said: "Yifan, if you go out and have a bad time, come back. Your brother and I will welcome you at any time." Yi Fan hurriedly agreed, and he felt sour in his heart.
Tangtang Yuanyuan started to make a fuss next to him again. Yi Fan held the two children in his arms, kissed them again and again, and his eyes were wet involuntarily. Thinking that they might never see each other again in their lifetime after this separation, they all felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts. The two children hugged Yi Fan's thighs and refused to let go. Yuan Yuan cried loudly. The little girl kept comforting and admonishing them before letting go.
Robinson said: "Yi Fan, we are finally out of the mountain. Go down this slope and see the big city in the distance. That is Beiliang. Find a job and settle down in the city. When you have some experience and money, you can plan for the future." After a pause, Robinson took off the two bundles on his body, handed them to Yi Fan, and said: "The animal skins and bones in these two bundles are relatively valuable outside. You can exchange them for some money in the city and make do for a few days. I have too many enemies in the city, so I won't accompany you. By the way, you have to pack up your Zhicao, so as not to be seen by someone with ulterior motives and cause trouble."
Yi Fan knew that Robinson could send him out of the mountain. In the past twenty days, He had already taken a great risk. Not to mention his own safety, he was worried about the three girls living alone in the mountains. If he had not had an unusual relationship with Robinson, how could he be so caring? He hurriedly said, "Brother, you have a deep affection for me. The rest is just Yangguan Road. You can enter the city in a blink of an eye. You should not see me off. My sister-in-law and children are still living in the mountains. You should also go back as soon as possible. Be careful on the way." Robinson stared at Yi Fan for a moment and said, "Yi Fan, if you really can't live outside, you can come back to the mountains. Your sister-in-law and I will welcome you at any time." Yi Fan said, "I know." The two sides parted ways, one out of the mountain and the other into the mountain. The two looked back every three steps and every five steps. They were really reluctant to leave. They wished they could look at each other a few more times and remember that figure in their hearts forever. Yi Fan's hot tears flowed out like spring water. He wanted to rush back and hug the other person and cry. He knew that Robinson must be like this, but he had a mission and didn't know how many big things were waiting for him outside. He had to harden his heart and move forward. He was getting farther and farther away. Finally, he could no longer see the other person, but the figures of Robinson, Xiaoniu, Tangtang, and Yuanyuan gradually became clear in his mind. He knew that he would never forget these four people.
Yi Fan went down the slope for a while and stepped onto the field path. From time to time, he met pedestrians in groups of three or two on the road. They were all wearing farm tools. They were going to work in the fields. There were also many farmers working in the lush green farmland on both sides. Everyone pointed at his strange animal skin outfit. The clothes worn by these pedestrians were quite similar to those worn in ancient China. He couldn't help but think to himself: "This world is almost the same as ancient China."
After walking for a while, there were more and more passers-by, and there were also some village houses. Not far away, they merged into a street leading into the city. The pedestrians were bustling and lively. After walking about four miles, they saw a city wall in the distance. The city gate was wide open. Pedestrians lined up at the city gate for inspection. The long line stretched all the way to him. He also became a member of this mighty team. He looked behind him and saw that there were also many people lining up behind him.
The gate official's inspection was quite perfunctory, but the speed was not slow. When it was Yi Fan's turn, he patted his bag on his back twice and let him go. Yi Fan entered the city and found that there were even more people inside. It was like a market on Earth, with people buying and selling goods, eating, drinking and having fun. It was really lively. He had just parted with Robinson Crusoe, and his mood was quite heavy. Unexpectedly, he felt a little happy in this atmosphere. He walked around for a while, found a busy area, opened the animal skins, animal bones and some exotic herbs in the bag, and spread them on the ground. After a while, someone came to ask the price. Yi Fan hurriedly negotiated with the other party, and he didn't care about the sadness of parting in his heart. Soon he sold three pieces of animal skins and two pieces of animal bones and got two taels of silver.
It was almost noon at this time, and his stomach was growling with hunger, so he looked for a hotel, walked up to the second floor, and found a seat by the window to sit down. The waiter came over with a menu to greet him. He ordered a pot of wine and two side dishes, and soon the dishes and wine were served.
He leaned against the railing, looking at the bustling crowd below. Although the dishes were delicious, they tasted bland. He was secretly worried about what to do next, whether to find a job first or find A Lai first. He also felt that he was like a rootless duckweed in this strange world. How would he settle down in the future? He couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the future. At this time, many diners gradually sat at the tables around him. They kept drinking and making noise, which made him even more uneasy.
Suddenly, he heard a strange cry of an animal in the northeast corner. Yi Fan was startled. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a skinny old man sitting at the table over there. He was releasing a little squirrel from the bamboo cage on the table. As soon as the squirrel came out of the bamboo cage, it jumped up and down on the table, under the table, between the wine pots, and on the old man. It seemed very lively and made cheerful calls from time to time. Yi Fan was secretly surprised, thinking, "I didn't know the squirrel's cry was so strange."
The old man picked up a peanut from the porcelain plate on the table with his chopsticks, swung his right arm, and threw it into the air. Suddenly, a gray shadow jumped up from the side, flashed through the air, and just took the peanut away. The gray shadow flashed in the tavern, and finally landed on the window next to Yi Fan.
Yi Fan saw the squirrel stretched out its claws to grab the window sill, hanging in front of him and dangling, opening its mouth and chewing, with a pair of gray eyes looking at him curiously. He was quite interested, stretched out his chopsticks to add a piece of vegetable leaf, and put it to its mouth.
The squirrel stretched out its nose to sniff, but did not eat it, and climbed to Yi Fan's hand like lightning. Yi Fan saw something wrong, so he quickly retracted his hand and retreated. But the squirrel was so fast that he couldn't avoid it. It climbed up the back of his hand, and without stopping, it climbed up his shoulder, and then climbed from his shoulder to his vest.
Yi Fan stood up quickly and slapped himself with his hands, but the squirrel was faster. After a long time, he didn't touch even a hair. He only saw a black shadow on his chest, back, lower abdomen, and legs, moving back and forth. At this time, he couldn't see what was on his body. The squirrel made a fuss for a while, and suddenly jumped down and actually got into a bundle underground.
Yi Fan secretly said that it was not good. The strange grass was in this bundle. How could he encounter this on the first day of leaving the city.
Yi Fan was shocked and kept shouting and driving it away. He lifted the bundle and shook it. The squirrel rolled over and over in it, squeaking and screaming, but it just refused to come out.
The old man finally arrived, whistling a few strange times. A gray shadow jumped out of the bag and climbed onto the old man's shoulder. Then it kept running back and forth on the old man's chest, back, waist and hips. At this time, the strange squeaking sounded a little excited. It turned dozens of circles like this, and finally suddenly got into the clothes on the old man's chest.
The old man smiled peacefully and stretched out his hand to pat his chest gently, apparently to comfort the squirrel inside. The squirrel squeaked comfortably, the sound became lower and lower, more and more lazy, and finally it was silent, as if it fell asleep.
This comforting time lasted for a long time, but the old man didn't even look at Yi Fan, and ignored him at all, as if there was no one next to him. Yi Fan felt very uncomfortable standing by. The squirrel had already made him embarrassed, and he was even more unhappy at this time. However, he could not get angry at this time, and he could not just walk away without saying a word. That would be too unkind.
The old man patted him slowly for a while, and then looked Yi Fan up and down for a long time, unscrupulously and unreasonably. Suddenly he smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, my friend. I am a juggler. I wanted to release this squirrel to perform for everyone to have fun. I didn't expect that this beast suddenly went crazy and frightened my friends. I'm really sorry."
Yi Fan smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, old man, thank you for your trouble. In fact, the squirrel is quite interesting." He was secretly surprised by the way this person did things. Do all people in this world do things this way? It is indeed very different from the customs and customs on Earth, but he is generous by nature. After thinking about this matter, he put it aside and didn't care.
The old man asked again: "Your accent doesn't make you look like a local?" Yi Fan said: "Yes, I'm new here, visiting relatives."
The old man said: "Then you have to have fun here for a while. Beiliang has many good places to visit, such as the Big Buddha Temple, the waterfall, the Beiliang Castle..." The old man patiently said a lot, seeming to be very familiar with this place, but his words became logical and orderly, which was very strange.
Yi Fan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I should go and have fun when I have time." The two talked for a while, and the initial stiff atmosphere was greatly reduced, gradually becoming harmonious, and then they parted. After the old man left, Yi Fan saw that the bag was messed up by the squirrel, and wanted to tidy it up. He put it on the table and opened it to take a look. He was shocked to find that the Zhi grass had disappeared.
