13. Take care of yourself

Guo Peng has always felt that this old servant of the Cao family has a long taste.

"The old slave's belly is a little swollen, and I want to find a place that is a little more convenient and convenient, Dalang, please take care of yourself."

The old servant smiled ambiguously, then turned and walked into the woods beside the road.

Guo Peng suddenly felt a little funny, watching the figure of the old servant disappear, shook his head, then boarded the carriage, pushed the car door, lifted the curtain and looked inside, sure enough, Cao Lan sat inside, holding her handkerchief with both hands, looking nervous.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing Guo Peng come in with a smile, Cao Lan was even more nervous and shy, and couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Penglang...... I...... I ......"

"Okay, I know you're here to see me off."

Guo Peng sat down next to Cao Lan, held Cao Lan's little hand, and said with a smile: "As soon as I go to Luoyang, I may not come back many times in the future, that is, the annual vacation, but I may not come back often on vacation, I want to stay in Luoyang and study hard." ”

When Cao Lan was held by Guo Peng's little hand, she was very shy, and she didn't dare to look at Guo Peng when she lowered her head, her face was full of tenderness.

But when he heard Guo Peng say that he came back often, he was a little depressed, and raised his head and looked at Guo Peng with two big eyes rather sadly.

"Well, after that...... Will Peng Lang still write to me? ”

"That's natural, I will naturally write to you, I will tell you some things in Luoyang, I am not in Qiaoxian County, you have to take care of yourself, but the time will not be too long, three years, but three years, when I am crowned, I can marry you."

Cao Lan was slightly stunned, and then her face suddenly turned red, especially her ears, which were even more red, and the whole person looked a little dizzy.

Seeing her like this, Guo Peng was also very happy.

Guo Peng doesn't plan to be a fool who pursues any free love and free combination, let alone underestimate the customs and habits at this time.

In modern times, it is still said that the locals follow the customs, so at this time, they can be regarded as the real locals.

If you can't integrate into this era, how can you protect yourself in the troubled times?

Do you want to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, make a living by gathering and hunting, and spend the next few decades of your life?

That's too boring.

treated Cao Lan with pity.

She doesn't understand anything, she probably doesn't even understand that she doesn't have the right to choose her own marriage, and maybe she doesn't think she has the right to choose marriage at all.

But Guo Peng could see that she was very happy and willing, and that was enough.

Being able to achieve happiness under the premise of family interests is already a blessing that many people can't ask for, and Guo Peng himself doesn't think so.

Cao Lan doesn't have the freedom to choose, so how can he have the freedom to choose?

In other words, in this era, everyone has no freedom of choice, everyone comes over like this, and it is indeed a realistic reality.

"Okay, I'm leaving, be careful, go back, I'll write a letter."

After making a final goodbye, Guo Peng reached out and rubbed Cao Lan's little head, giving her a warm smile, Cao Lan held Guo Peng's hand with a reluctant face, and her eyes were full of tears.

"Penglang, when you arrive in Luoyang, you have to take care of yourself, you have to pay attention to rest, you have to wear more clothes, and you don't dare to catch a cold......"

Listening to her chattering instructions, Guo Peng was a little moved, pursed his lips and smiled, and nodded.

At this time, the very sensible old servant suddenly appeared, silently walked to the side of the carriage without saying a word, and his face was full of ambiguous expressions.

This old fellow, really......

Guo Peng only felt funny, and also diluted some of the sadness of parting.

After living here for nearly ten years, Guo Peng has already regarded Qiaoxian County as his hometown and has a strong sense of belonging.

In this era, the distance between people can be very close or far away, as close as "falling asleep on your feet" and as far as "this farewell, you will never see each other again in this life".

The extreme backwardness of transportation and communication makes every time friends in different places see each other may be the last time, so that every time they leave their hometown may be the last time, and it is very common for guests to die in a foreign land.

Liu Bei fought all his life and became the emperor in the end, but he never returned to his hometown, and he could no longer see the big tree in front of his house that wanted to be made into Luo Gai.

Zhuge Liang became the prime minister, one person under ten thousand people, but he could never return to the Longzhong grass house that he dreamed of, and the wish of "I will come back" twenty-seven years ago can only leave a sigh.

There is no reason for the Chinese who have relocated to settle down to their hometown.

However, it is a pity for Guo Peng that he has to introduce himself according to his ancestral hometown, and before he has the ability to establish another sect, he must call himself "Yingchuan Guo Peng", not "Guo Peng".

He didn't have the slightest attachment to Yingchuan, because he had never been to Yingchuan, and his father was born in Yingchuan, but for his father, Yingchuan was just a sad place, and he gritted his teeth when he mentioned it.

But helplessly, the father and son were surnamed Guo, and this surname gave them convenience and made them a part of the Shi clan.

Otherwise, Guo Peng will have to consider joining the Taiping Sect and Zhang Jiao to fight wits and courage, and choose to be a god stick, otherwise there is no way out as a civilian, and the biggest possibility is to wait for death.

Stepping on one side of the pedal and turning over on the horse, Guo Peng left a sentence of 'take care of yourself' to Cao Lan, who was standing on the ground and looking at him stupidly, and then rode away without looking back.

Soon, he caught up with the convoy, joined the guards, and continued to march towards Luoyang.

With the guide sent by the Cao clan leading the way, they chose a more suitable and safe route.

Go to Liangguo, go to Chenliu County, enter Henan after leaving Chenliu County, arrive at Zhongmu County, then arrive at Xingyang, cross the Tiger Prison Pass, and finally arrive at Luoyang.

Cao Song will send someone to meet Guo Peng in Zhongmu County, and when he arrives in Zhongmu County, everything will be arranged by Cao Song, and the road will be much safer and more reliable.

And before that, the guards need to pay more attention, try to take the official road and the avenue, not the small road and the night road.

Out of Qian County, all the way to the north, Guo Peng also felt more novel, he has not left Qiao County since he came to Qian County, and occasionally followed the Cao family to Runan to play, never went to other places.

This time I was going to the imperial capital, and I could see a lot of things along the way that I don't usually see, which was a good experience.

Therefore, the ancients said that it is not enough to read 10,000 books, but also to travel 10,000 miles, which should be an extremely simple concept that has been applied to the world.

If you can't go all over the world and see the scenery all over the world, just listen to the words of others, you will listen to bias and belief, and produce prejudice.

Guo Peng walked all the way to Liang Guo, and when he arrived at Liang Guo, he turned northwest and walked towards Chenliu County, and what he saw and heard along the way did give him a lot of feelings.
