Hejiashan Town

  Jinglan still maintained her composure as the eldest sister, no matter what she thought of these two superstars in her heart, her face was calm and collected. After checking their belongings, she also reminded them to tie their shoelaces well: "We have a long way to go, if you get blisters on your feet, don't cry."

  Jing Fei hastily said: "Don't worry, Eldest Senior Sister, you can rest assured."

  Qiu Qiu was still thinking about how they were going to get down the mountain, Da Shixiong could ride his sword, but Shi Jie's skills seemed a bit lacking, and she and Jing Fei were completely useless.

  The answer is revealed - it's horse riding.

  That horse was no ordinary one, very spirited. Qiuqiu stood in front of it and still hadn't reached the horse's belly. The horse looked down at her with a proud glance and let out a loud snort.

  Look, what's with your airs? Just because you've grown a long face, you're so smug?

  Qiuqiu glanced at the horse, and the horse's two big black eyes stared back at her, making Qiuqiu feel a bit hairy.

  It won't think of kicking her, will it?

  Better stand a little further away for safety's sake.

  Qiu Qiu quietly took a step back without leaving any trace.

  Jing Yu looked at him with a smile and stroked the mane of the horse: "Don't be afraid, its temperament is very gentle, it won't kick people."

  Qiu Qiu said in a low voice: "I think it's looking down on people, taking advantage of me because I'm young."

  When the senior brother came over, this horse, although still the same as before, suddenly changed its temperament. It was no longer arrogant and proud, but instead appeared very gentle and humble.

  What a world! Even a beast would be two-faced and speak one way to your face and another behind your back.

  Jing Fei trotted over with a small bundle, laughing and asking her: "You're here so early? How is it, can you ride?"

  Qiu Qiu could only tell the truth: "I've never ridden a horse. There were no horses on the mountain where I used to live." But Qiu Qiu had actually ridden tigers twice. They were the pair of tigers that guarded the gate for their master, and they were unusually gentle towards Qiu Qiu and her fellow disciples. One time, Jing Xin Shifu was joking around and put Qiu Qiu on the back of one of the tigers. The tiger was very obedient, like a big cat, and carried Qiu Qiu on its back for almost half an hour before returning.

  Luckily Qiuqiu wasn't heavy, otherwise the tiger's back might have been crushed by her as well.

  Jingfei scratched her face with her fingers and laughed a few times, then said: "I also can't ride."

  Qiu Qiu glanced at her and found that she was also fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps.

  Since neither of them could ride, they had no choice but to ride with others. Jinglan smiled and said: "I'll take Jingqiu sister with me, brother you take Jingfei."

  This fire prevention, theft prevention and mistress prevention work is really done thoroughly.

  Qiuqiu also knew that Jinglan didn't trust her, from the time she went up the mountain when Jingyuan took extra care of her, Jinglan would definitely be wary of her.

  Although this is human nature, Qiū Qiū felt that she was being overly cautious, after all, her current form was still a round and plump dwarf pumpkin, and Jing Yuan wouldn't have any other thoughts about her unless he had some special preferences.

  This proposal was just what Autumn had been hoping for. She thought that if she were to ride with Jing Yu, no matter how innocent they were, others would probably gossip behind their backs. But if Jing Fei rode with him instead, there wouldn't be any issues - after all, they were fellow disciples of the same master and Jing Fei was well-liked by everyone anyway, so it was only natural that she should ride with him.

  Jinglan lifted Qiuqiu onto the horse's back and mounted herself, her posture elegant and beautiful. Jingyuan also let Jingfei sit in front of him, his toes lightly tapping the horse's belly, leading the way, with Jinglan following closely behind.

  The road down the mountain was smooth, and the horse spread its four hooves and ran as if it had four wings. Sitting on top of it didn't feel bumpy at all. Autumn adapted to the feeling of being on horseback and began to take in the scenery around her.

  Xiuyuan Mountain stretches and rises, with clouds and mist swirling between the mountains. The sky is a pure blue, as if painted with a brush, so clean and pure.

  Jing Lan looked at the tender and delicate little junior sister, although she was wary of her, but the lovely and obedient child was lovable, and she couldn't bring herself to dislike her. At least compared to the previous loud and boisterous pair, this one seemed even more endearing.

  "Is this your first time traveling far from home, junior sister?"

  "Yes," Qiu Qiu nodded and said: "In the past when I followed Master, I was young, and it wasn't convenient for Master and my senior sisters to take me along when they went down the mountain on business."

  Jing Lan said that if she followed her everywhere, she would probably end up accompanying her unlucky master and senior sister.

  "Where is your hometown?"

  Qiu Qiu still remembers the direction of his hometown, but his impression of it is not very deep. It's a very small place, so small that it doesn't even have a proper name. Because there are many people with the surname Chen in the village, they just casually called it Chenjia Duan. Such a place name can probably be found three or four times within dozens of miles.

  Qiu Qiu asked again: "Where is Shijie's hometown?"

  Jing Lan said softly: "I originally... had a home in the capital."

  Sounds quite sentimental.

  Qiu Qiu's past was extremely simple, so simple that it could be summed up with the three words "eat, drink, sleep". However, this doesn't mean others are the same. Jing Lan Shifu... hmm, her life story might have some twists and turns worth digging into.

  But that has nothing much to do with Qiuqiu anyway.

  The horse walked for half a day, stopped in the middle to rest once, gave the horse water, and then continued on the road, arriving at Heshan Town at noon.

  It's said to be a town, but from afar, Autumn can already tell that this town is not small at all. It looks prosperous and bustling, clearly a big city. No wonder Jingfei has been thinking about coming here nonstop.

  The street was very lively, and Jingfei's two eyes were almost not enough. Qiūqiū wasn't much better than her. Although she had lived in this era for many years, she originally lived in a rural family and never left the house once. Later, she followed her master sister to the mountain and stayed on the mountain all the time, so Qiūqiū couldn't explain how ordinary people lived at that time either.

  "Heshan Town is a very peaceful place, it's called Heshan Town because it's sandwiched between Xiuyuan Mountain and Wulou Mountain. Many of our sect's disciples are from Heshan Town."

  It's probably related to the local energy and atmosphere, so there are more people with spiritual potential here than elsewhere.

  They entered the town and of course they couldn't gallop wildly on horseback anymore. Jing Yuan simply dismounted, leading the reins to walk slowly forward. They were heading from east to west, and had to pass through the town to reach their destination.

  The people in the town seemed to be no stranger to these cultivators, and even seeing them was a common occurrence. Jingfei pointed at a stall by the road and said: "Sugar cakes, Brother Shifu, I want to eat sugar cakes."

  Jing stopped and bought two portions. One for Jingfei, one for Qiūqiū, wrapped in paper, the rice cake was made of glutinous rice, fried golden on the outside, still snowy white inside, with a sweet filling in the middle, hot, sweet, fragrant and delicious, indeed very tasty.

  Jing Lan smiled as she looked at Qiu Qiu.

  She ate with great relish, holding the cake in both hands and nibbling at it daintily, much like a certain small-eared, long-tailed rodent.
