It is not the simple "surprise" I encountered in the past, but the "confusion" and "surprise" brought in the "surprise".

So he frowned slightly and slowed down. The hand gate made a long "crunch" sound, and he stopped. When he turned around, he saw the girl jogging and chasing, panting, "Hey, I'll pay you back!"

Li Zhen was stunned - pay back the money?

He frowned in confusion. The girl had already run to her, and he pulled her backpack from behind, put it on his back seat, and said while sucking it inside, "It's strange, haven't you walked to the front? Have you gone back again?"

Li Zhen didn't say anything.

The girl wiped the sweat from her face again, pulled out a stack of gold coins and sent it to him: "Here, I saved enough money yesterday, and I will pay it back to you."

He stepped off the bike and looked up and down at the girl.

The other party looked at himself in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Li Zhen thought for a while: "Have you seen me?"

The girl tilted her head to look at him: "You... can't do you? I didn't admit my mistake. Most people don't look like you, so..."

She was embarrassed to say the next word.

So Li Zhen realized that maybe she saw another "self". He smiled and slapped his head: "Ha, I almost forgot, time has passed too long."

"It's only been four days." The girl curled her lips, "The nobles forget about things."

Four days ago, Li Zhen nodded slightly in his heart. He took the money and put it in his pocket naturally, and smiled: "I got something behind me." He pointed to the other end of the road, "and went around back."

The girl put her backpack on again and looked at him with her head tilted her head: "Your complexion has improved a lot today - you seemed to be almost worried when you saw you last time."

Li Zhen pushed the bicycle and walked slowly, and the girl stood side by side with him. He thought for a while and asked, "Then guess what happened to me last time?"

The girl looked at him and then curled her lips: "Actually, you are so weird. Last time you said that a friend passed away was very unhappy, but now he looks like he is fine."

Li Zhen was stunned and his heart beat faster.

A friend? Died?

He instinctively thought of Shen Mu.

Another person, do you know the news?

Nearly a month has passed since that afternoon. Now he has been walking in Shaanxi Province. He has taken the crowded diesel bus and walked by himself. He has also met simple farmers who have taken him along the way. If he enters the north from the north, this road is one of the must-pass roads. This means that someone is moving faster than him.

And that oneself...

It seems a bit unexpected.

He lent money to this girl. He would not care about such small things six months ago, and would not frown even if he encountered someone blocking the road and robbing it - because it was a dirty thing between humanoids... He took it lightly.

However, that "self" showed considerable humanity and even helped a stranger whom he had never met.

Is it the one who calls himself Li Wen?

He forced a smile: "You have to be more open-minded. People cannot be resurrected by death, we all have to look forward. This world..."

"Okay, just think you're open. Now? Where are you going?"

Li Zhen frowned helplessly - what was going on with that person? He seemed to be quite familiar with this girl and almost said everything. He couldn't figure out what that person was doing, but of course he couldn't be honest with her. So he smiled: "So what about you? What about you? What are you planning? At this time, a young girl is not peaceful on the road. Maybe she will encounter a robbery after walking for a while."

This is the truth. When he was in Pingyang, the society in the city was quite stable. After all, it was an important northern town of the empire, and there was a northern base nearby. But as soon as he left Pingyang city, he found that the empire was not as "orderly" as he imagined.

The countryside is fine, and it can basically be self-sufficient. However, the situation in some slightly remote towns is quite unoptimistic. Either the population flows to large cities that can provide quota food, or they are just struggling there.

The empire was fighting in different and different ways, and the military expenditure was huge. However, most people were unemployed, and manufacturing factories that rely solely on manual cooperation had not yet been widely popularized on a large scale - because skilled technical workers were also bottlenecks.

But the tax standards did not lower because the war was actually burning money, no matter who the war was fighting for.

So there was a very interesting and helpless situation - in order to pay less taxes, residents of a town voted to dissolve their town court cabinet. As soon as the court cabinet was dissolved, the town government was disbanded - so all the fire department and police stations under the jurisdiction disappeared... The town is now in anarchy and is directly under the jurisdiction of the city.

When he got there, he was encountering a fire in the town. It is said that two groups of people fought and ignited the fire. However, the police from the city were still riding bicycles on the road, and no one in the fire department put out the fire, so the fire burned the two streets clean, and people's howling almost spread throughout the town.

He was powerless to do anything like this and had to leave. Before leaving, he heard the people in the town discussing whether to reorganize the courtroom again and stop doing so.

In fact, there is not necessarily a shortage of food that no one can eat enough - the empire's grain storage is said to be able to support the national population for six years. But on the one hand, no one knows how long this aurora will last and how long it will take to restore productivity, so they are saving food carefully.

on the other hand……

The actual situation may not be as they said, which can "support the national population for six years." Perhaps some reserve warehouses have long been empty - they have been emptied by borers.

Under such circumstances, many bandits appeared on both sides of the highway. They were in groups of three or five, holding various weapons, and specially set up roadblocks to rob vehicles or pedestrians who occasionally passed by.

The local police force had no time to take care of the entire area, so those people became more and more rampant. He once encountered two groups of people on the road, but the number was small, and he was all taken away without any danger. In fact, he hoped that he would meet someone who was capable, rather than ordinary people who had long-range weapons and were strong.

After hearing his words, the girl smiled slightly: "I, keep traveling. I used to be so busy every day, but at this time, others were so worried that I was so idle. So I took this opportunity to hike - to Lhasa. Once a call comes one day, I wouldn't be able to find such an opportunity."
