I am a living immortal.

Everything that happened in the forest afterwards had nothing to do with Su Mu.

He was already riding a sheep and strolling along the official road. After leaving the mountains and forests, the road suddenly became open and no longer seemed cramped.

There were already quite a few people coming and going on the official road. Ditches were dug on both sides of the road and some trees were planted to fix the sand. These trees were also quite old. Large stones of similar thickness were laid at the bottom of the road. They did not need to be neat, and small stones could be filled in the gaps. Finally, a layer of lime and sand mixture was laid, and after it was flattened, it became the official road he saw.

It's not as good as the asphalt road I saw before crossing, but it's enough.

This kind of soil is suitable for this era. In this era when horse-drawn carriages are common, we also have to take into account the wear and tear of horse hooves. It is not good if it is too hard.

If horse hooves don’t work, what about sheep hooves?

Su Mu's mind twisted, but then she thought, given the old goat's temper, if there was any problem with its hoof, it would probably not leave on the spot.

It's useless to worry about this old goat. It's better to worry about what to eat in the evening.

It came out sloppily.

There are not many breads and water left, so I have to go to the inn ahead to replenish them. The coolness after the rain has long been driven away by the scorching sun.

The midday sun is the most scorching.

I tore off some bread and put it in my mouth. It was a bit dry, so I dissolved it in water and chewed it a few times. The light salty taste was captured by the tip of my tongue. I just had a simple lunch.

I took out the wild fruits I had picked earlier. They were sour and bitter with a hint of sweetness, but better than nothing.

While chewing the pear, he looked around.

There were some people traveling with him, most of whom were wealthy people who could hide in the carriage and avoid the wind and rain.

Those who don't have the conditions have already gone to the shade to rest for a while, and then continue on their journey after this hot period.

From time to time, soldiers in leather armor would gallop past, whipping their horses. I couldn't tell if they were on patrol or on some important business.

Su Mu, riding a sheep, seemed a little unique.

As he walked along, he understood from the bits and pieces of talk around him that the world was not as miserable as his master had said, and that order and balance still existed. Perhaps it was because the dynasty had changed. This new country was named Renxian, which means peace and prosperity, and a place where people can live and work in peace and contentment. It was also named Renxian, and it was now the twelfth year of Renxian.

It seems that the dynasty that Master was talking about had already been replaced twelve years ago.

This official road passes through Yuannan and Huguan and finally reaches Wending. Wending is similar to Wuhan in later generations, with convenient transportation connecting the north and the south, making it an important central city for communication.

Su Mu was ready to walk all the way there, maybe he could get a lot of surprises, just like the tiger's demon pill.

However, apart from the tiger stick he met at the beginning, he didn't encounter any other monsters along the way. It might be because he was walking on the official road, which was very popular and full of yang energy, and there were soldiers patrolling back and forth.

Listening to the gossip around me is a good way to kill time.

Especially the servants accompanying the two carriages, who talked all the way, talking about all sorts of things, gods and ghosts, and strange aspirations. Su Mu was so excited that she wanted to reward them with two copper coins on the spot.

The guards surrounding the two carriages were not so relaxed and were observing their surroundings vigilantly.

Whenever Su Mu looked over there, several people would tighten their swords, obviously considering him as a key target of observation.

If he made any movement, the knife would fall on him.

Su Mu didn't care about the vague gaze and took the last bite of the fruit. He threw the core casually on the side of the road and continued on his way.

"drive!!!"

The old goat's dead eyes rolled up to the sky as he kicked the goat's belly with his legs. "You really don't know how to count! It's noon now! Sooner or later, these old bones will fall apart."

No matter how reluctant I was, I still started running.

The speed is neither fast nor slow, about the same as riding a small electric scooter with a speed limit. It consumes a bundle of grass per 100 kilometers, which is clean and environmentally friendly.

At this rate, we should be able to reach the next inn before sunset.

Today, Su Mu was extravagant and stayed in an inn instead of traveling overnight. This old goat is steady, but it is not comfortable to sit still for too long.

.........

Three hours later, it was already dark.

The inns along the road were already faintly visible, and the lights were very obvious.

Seeing this glimmer of hope, Su Mu patted the goat and said, "Come on, old friend. I'll give you a snack tonight: salt and grass.

The inn is not big, but it has everything and is safe. After all, anyone who dares to open an inn on the official road must have a powerful background. Without connections, you really can't open an inn. Not to mention other things, you will have to deal with the patrolling soldiers. If you pay, you are a soldier, and if you don't, you are a bandit.

The sky was dark, but the inn was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

When Su Mu walked in, a waiter came over to greet her.

"Sir, do you want to stay in a hotel or stay in a hotel?"

"Give me a room and a meal. Oh, and help take care of this old goat. It's very picky. Get me some tender grass and salt."

"Okay, don't worry!" The waiter smiled and welcomed the guests to a table, and recited a long list of dishes. Su Mu ordered two at random, both of which were common dishes. You can't eat delicacies from land and sea, but this inn on the official road is a necessity. If you like to eat, eat, if you don't like to eat, leave, we won't indulge you.

Two dishes, a pot of tea, a room, fodder and salt cost three hundred and twelve coins, about half a tael of silver, which was not too bad.

It's acceptable to indulge occasionally.

The dozen or so tables in the inn were almost full. Two or three tables were occupied by merchants, and there were also some martial artists with swords and knives, drinking wine and eating meat with big mouthfuls.

Su Mu poured herself a cup of tea to moisten her throat.

I could hear the sound of discussion.

"Have you heard? The Yuannan Chu family has offered a reward of one thousand taels for the missing Third Young Master Chu, alive or dead."

"Your information is outdated. The latest news is that the Third Master Chu has long been killed by a tiger. And it's not just any tiger. It's said that he was a monstrous evildoer. Not even a bone is left. The Chu family is currently holding a funeral!"

"Tell me, couldn't the Third Young Master Chu just be a rich young man in Yuannan? Why did he have to go out and suffer like this!" The person who spoke said with regret. He was not feeling sorry for the Third Young Master Chu, but for himself. He wanted to live such a good life but couldn't.

"I heard it!" Another person spoke, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice.

"I heard that the Third Master Chu eloped with the Second Miss of the Wang family. They originally wanted to travel around and become a pair of immortal lovers, but who would have thought..."

"The Second Miss of the Wang Family!!!"

"Be quiet, be quiet!"

"The second young lady of the Wang family? The one who's already married?"

"Yes, what else do you think? You give up your wealth and run off to the wilderness to be a couple of gods."

"Will the Wang family and the second young lady's husband's family let this go? I'm afraid Yuannan will be thrown into chaos."

"Who said it wasn't? Hey!" the man said as he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Su Mu picked up a piece of braised pork and thought, how could such love and hatred be involved in this? But at that time, the two of them looked like a perfect match made in heaven, locked in.

Oh, he's dead, that's okay.
