After hearing this, the hostess of this house came up to greet him immediately, and then her husband turned over tea: "I'm just thirsty." After that, she drank it all, and then her eyes suddenly lit up: "It's great!"

Mr. Fang stood up, looked at the sky outside, and said to the family:

"The rain has stopped. Thank you for taking it in. I have to continue rushing."

Several people from this family quickly got up and gave it to him.

Fang Chang walked into the courtyard and asked casually: "Where is this place further south?"

The male host thought for a while and said, "Far south? In the distance, the sea is on the south side, and the official roads all go southwest from here. If it is near, there are seven or eight miles ahead, and it is a town. We usually go to the market here."

His eldest son suddenly interrupted excitedly, "If you pass by now, there are good things there. If you have enough money, you should not miss it."

"Oh? Let's talk about it."

"There is a hero in the nearby town who is very brave. He hunted and killed more than a dozen dragons in a row by the nearby river. In addition to the great disaster and the government rewards, he also handed the dragon meat to a restaurant for cooking and sold it at a high price in the town. There are countless people who have left here-"

"What happened?" the male owner said in surprise, "How do you know about such a long time?"

"Father, you're blocked by the news." The eldest son of the family smiled and said, "When A Niu came to me yesterday, he told me what he said, but he also heard from others, but this matter is almost the same. After all, the evil dragon was raging before, and the government issued a notice and reward, which could not be faked."

"Then the hero in the town you mentioned... it's not Fan Sanhu? How could he be?!" The male owner thought for a moment and said in surprise, "No one is as brave as he is, but he is usually idle and ignorant. Now he knows how to do such a thing?"

"It must be that he is right. If you don't believe it, you can ask my son to go and inquire."

"No way!"

The male owner scolded him, so the eldest son of the family retreated and turned back.

Fang Changgong bowed his hand and walked back to the official road, and walked south with many pedestrians who had finished sheltering from the rain. Fortunately, the official road was trampled all year round, and the road surface had long been solid. In addition, it was rainy in the south, so it would not be too muddy.

After walking for more than seven miles, I saw the town.

It seems that it was because of this official road. The town in front of us has similar prosperity and similar configurations like those we saw before. Passers-by occasionally rest here and take shelter from the rain. Fang Chang saw that after sheltering from the town, there were much more people starting from the town again than in the village in front.

Two hours later, it took Fang Chang to leave the town with satisfaction.

There is indeed a dragon meat here. He looked at it and it turned out to be just a crocodile, but its meat tasted very delicious. The restaurant here is not very good at cooking, but it just replaces the dishes I used to cook with dragon meat. Fortunately, the dragon meat tastes delicious, and such a simple way is not to be overwhelmed.

So Fang Chang ordered a portion of dried bamboo shoots and fried meat, but the meat had been replaced with Jiao meat. The shopkeeper there saw that he was happy to eat, and couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if the guests came in summer. The fried meat from our side is the best. The meat is smooth and fruity, so you won't want to leave here after eating it."

It is not difficult to find out the story of the dragon hunter. Everyone in the town knows it. It is nothing more than a clichéd prodigal son who turned around and repented, and then the scholar should be treated with admiration for three days. This is common in the world, and Fang Chang is no longer surprised.

After coming out of the town, he found a high mountain, climbed up and looked around, and had an idea.

Going further south is the sea, not the southern border you want to go to. It is better to follow the official road to the southwest, and then go south to the southern border to find the monsters' Vermilion Bird Hall.

The official road turns southwest and then west.

The landforms on both sides are constantly changing, the original red land under your feet disappears and turns into loess again, and the mountains and rivers on both sides suddenly become beautiful.

The mountains and rivers here are like paintings, with all kinds of postures.

The water is not like the magnificent waves of the sea, nor is it like the tranquility of a lake, nor is it as turbulent as other rivers. Instead, it moves slowly in a seemingly calm but constantly flowing way. The water here is like jade, but it is clear and you can see the finest sand and gravel.

The mountains are not as vast as the mountains in Yunzhong Mountain, nor are they as tall as the mountains in the Western Regions, but they are standing tall and dangerous peaks and rugged rocks, and they are not connected at the same time. They are all varied in shapes, like animals, plants, people, utensils, and buildings... It seems that the magnificent mountains in the world are concentrated here.

The sun shines through the clouds and shines down with a few rays of light, making the mountains and rivers below change lightly and darkly, like in a dream.

Well, this is a karst landform.

It is originally mountains and watery, and the texture of the mountain here is limestone, which can be dissolved by water very slowly. Over the past billions of years, this kind of landscape with peaks and forests everywhere has been formed. At the same time, you can also sense the depth of the ground below you, and there are also rivers, lakes and caves.

Unfortunately, I have a goal for this trip and cannot stay in a certain place for too long. Otherwise, it would be a pleasure to explore here.

The official road goes forward along the waterside, and the long side walks along the official road and along the waterside.

On the water, you can see fishermen wearing straw raincoats and walking slowly in a small bamboo tray. There are cormorants and fish baskets standing in front of the bamboo tray. Sometimes the cormorants will suddenly fly up, pierce into the water, and then come back with their bulging necks, and throw them into the fish basket by the fisherman's exit.

The so-called landscape is like a painting, which is the scenery.

Fang Chang's feet were walking down, and he could soon see the city ahead.

This is the intersection of two ancient canals and has great transportation convenience, so this city has been established. Because of the convenient transportation, it is more suitable for governing surrounding towns and can also be more convenient to contact the court. This is an advantage that cannot be ignored when choosing a city site.

The city walls of Zhoucheng are not high, but they are very thick. The city walls are made of stone bricks and rammed earth. Due to the rain all year round, the outside always looks wet, and weeds stick out from the cracks of the city bricks. Since there were competition here before, some traces of war can be found.

However, the people inside have returned to peace.

Fang Chang paid the two copper coins to enter the city and walked into the city.

Through the long city gate, the buildings inside are lined up, and the smoke is rolling, full of life.

However, due to the karst landform here, drinking water is very alkaline, and rainy and humid food is difficult to store, so the diet is slightly sour and smelly, which can not only neutralize alkalinity and maintain health, but also extend the time of food edible.

Anyway, it doesn’t smell good for Fangchang, who has a sensitive sense of smell.

Of course, he was very interested in trying the food here.

After walking a few more steps, Fang Chang's heart moved, turned a corner, and walked in a certain direction.
