My game even includes ancient times

He Shi said "Oh," then suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, I still don't know your name..."

Chu He was taken aback: "I had forgotten about that. My name is Chu He, the 'He' in 'river,' and you..."

He Shi picked up where he left off, saying, "My name is He Shi, the 'Shi' in 'stone'."

Chu He smiled slightly and gently patted He Shi's thin shoulder: "Let's go."

The two went downstairs, and Chuhe called the waiter to buy some dry food, while Heshi filled the kettle with hot water.

Chuhe had never seen this style of kettle before, and asked curiously, "This kettle is nice, where did you buy it?"

He Shi: "I found it."

Chu He: "..."

He Shi: "I often pick up useful and good things; I guess I'm just lucky."

Chu He: "Oh..."

Chu He was only a little curious about the small and exquisite kettle, and didn't pay much attention to it. After asking about it, he forgot about it.

After packing his luggage, he took He Shi around two streets and finally bought a horse-drawn carriage.

The carriage was small, with two small windows on the left and right and two doors at the front and back. It could barely fit two adults. There was little decoration inside, and the horse pulling the carriage was an old horse that was not very tall or strong.

“The journey to Yunzhou is long, and you can’t ride a horse, so let’s take a carriage.” Chu He helped He Shi into the carriage, stretched out his long legs, and sat on the carriage shaft. “Hold on tight, let’s go.”

With that, he gripped the reins with one hand and flicked them, and the old horse set off on its four hooves, stepping onto the bluestone road and trotting out of the city.

He Shi sat in the swaying carriage, opened one of the windows and leaned out, watching the city gate of Yuanshan County recede further and further into the distance, a sense of unreality gradually rising in his heart.

He Shi has lived in this small county town for eleven years since he was found by an old beggar as an infant.

Now that he had come out so easily, and was about to travel by carriage to an unknown destination, He Shi felt for a moment as if he were in a dream.

Touching the box wrapped in a cloak beside him, He Shi closed the window, lowered his eyes, untied the knot, and took out an oil paper package from the box, opening it.

There are three glistening crystal gummies lying on top, one red, one purple, and one yellow.

He Shi thought for a moment, then picked up the red one and put it in his mouth.

A sweet and sour aroma mixed with an unknown fragrance filled the air. He Shi gently chewed the gummy candy, and his previously restless heart suddenly calmed down. All the tension and anxiety slowly receded like the tide.

No matter where you go, the gods will be watching you from heaven. You just need to live up to their expectations and not lose face in front of them.

After He Yu saw off the last guest and said goodbye to Zhang Yushi, it was almost dark outside.

Rubbing her aching wrists, He Yu slumped onto the recliner, took off her slippers, and revealed her bruised and swollen little toe.

"Ouch...that really hurts..."

For some reason, He Yu kept banging her toes against the table leg today, three times in a row. She felt like her little toe was about to fall off.

After applying some medicine, He Yu stopped grimacing and ignored it, picking up her phone and opening a game in the hopes of distracting herself and reducing the pain.

The game screen unfolds, showing a carriage traveling at a steady speed on an official road.

"what?"

Has the map changed?

He Yu zoomed in on the image and immediately spotted Chu He sitting at the front of the carriage, driving the train.

The other person had a scarf wrapped around the lower half of their face and wore a straw hat, revealing only a pair of cold, star-like eyes.

He held his sword in his right hand and gripped the reins with his left, occasionally swinging them. He leaned loosely against the carriage, one long leg bent and resting on the shaft, the other hanging down naturally, swaying with the bumps of the carriage.

Chu He is driving the carriage? Could it be that someone is sitting in that carriage...?

He Yu opened the car with high expectations and sure enough, he saw He Shi leaning against the corner in a daze.

Although she could hardly believe it, the facts before her eyes clearly told He Yu that during her absence, He Shi had somehow managed to get close to... well, to keep up with Chu He!

Moreover, it was the kind where he was resting inside the carriage while Chu He was driving outside in the cold wind!

He Yu smiled and reached out to pat He Shi's head. She had been worried about how to persuade Chu He to take He Shi with him when he left, but he solved it all by himself. He was really amazing.

They deserve a reward.

He Yu opened the storeroom and gave the remaining candied hawthorn to He Shi.

Then the camera switched back to the train carriage.

He Shi held the candied hawthorn in his hand, his eyes sparkling.

[He Shi: Is it a deity? I'm going to learn martial arts now, I'll be really powerful in the future...]

[Chuhe: Xiaoshi, what did you say? The wind was too strong, I didn't hear you.]

He Shi paused for a moment.

[He Shi: I didn't say anything, Brother Chu. You must have misheard.]

[Chu He: Oh.]

He Yu switched the scene and saw that Chu He had adjusted his posture and was still leaning against the carriage in a relaxed manner, just like before, urging the horse along casually.

It seems they really didn't hear anything.

She then switched the camera back to the interior of the train carriage.

He Shi lowered his head slightly and sat obediently on the car seat, seemingly waiting for praise.

He Yu looked around but couldn't find anything suitable to give him, so she lifted a corner of her cloak and gently rubbed it against He Shi's cheek.

Starting from the tips of his ears, He Shi's face visibly turned red. He opened his mouth as if to cover up his embarrassment and bit off the top red fruit of the candied hawthorn, stuffing his cheeks full as he chewed slowly.

He Yu then noticed that He Shi's attire was completely new.

Her slightly dry long hair was tied back, and the blush on her thin, pale cheeks had not yet faded. Because of the cold, the tip of her delicately shaped nose was also slightly red. Her long eyebrows slanted upwards, and the beautifully contoured brow bone made her eyes look even more gentle and clear.

Although still somewhat immature, she already possesses stunning facial features.

It's so beautiful, not only beautiful but also unique.

He Yu tapped the tip of He Shi's nose on the screen with her fingertip, imagining the realistic feel of it.

Only a two-dimensional character could have such a perfect face created; it probably doesn't exist in reality.

He Yu admired He Shi's beauty for a while longer, and vaguely felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

By the way, I haven't explored what new features have been added since the upgrade!

He Yu suddenly woke up, cursing himself for being so useless, and quickly left the carriage to start studying.

The functions on the left side remain unchanged, except that in the map, only the Yuanshan County Town was originally lit up, but now a line extends from the town gate and slowly spreads southward.

This is the route He Shi took; it seems that wherever he goes, the map lights up.

There's still only a single "Clock" function on the right side of the screen.

He Yu thought for a moment, then opened the [Homestead] again. Looking at the familiar options, she clicked on the [General Store].

The general store will refresh tomorrow morning, but unlike before, a new feature has appeared to the left of the countdown timer – the [Flea Market].

Sure enough, the update was quite well hidden; I had to search twice to find it.

He Yu took a sip of water and entered the [Flea Market] with anticipation.
