It is much further from Qinghe County to Pingxi City than to Huanglong County. Yan Liqiang boarded the boat in the morning and until the afternoon, when it was approaching the evening, the boat arrived at the Xijiang Wharf outside Pingxi City.

At this time, the wind and rain still did not stop, but instead became heavier, and the entire Xijiang Wharf was shrouded in a mist.

The passenger ship shook slightly and was already leaning against the dock. Yan Liqiang saw from the window several boatmen jumping to the shore quickly and tied several anchor ropes at the bow and stern to the iron pillars on the dock. The shaking hull slowly stabilized.

"Everyone got off the boat, got off the boat, see if you have all your gifts and gifts, don't fall on the boat..." The boatman outside shouted, and the passengers in the cabin also stood up one by one, packed their gift packages, moved one by one, walked out of the cabin, and after getting on the deck outside, they quickly got on the shore through several wooden boards on the dock.

Yan Liqiang also carried his bags and walked out slowly with everyone.

"Little brother, you haven't eaten yet. Why don't you get off the boat and go home to have a meal together? My house is not far from Xijiang Wharf..." The woman who had given up her seat on the boat before also carried the child's swaddle clothes on her body, carrying a bag in her hand, and lined up in front of Yan Liqiang, and enthusiastically invited Yan Liqiang to have dinner at home.

"Sister-in-law, I'm just a simple task, don't be so polite..."

"Little brother, you are such a good person..."

As the two of them spoke, they walked out of the cabin. It was raining outside. The deck was stained with rain and it was a little slippery. The boatman used a few broken straw mats to mat the deck and wooden boards, and greeted everyone to get ashore.

A man in his thirties was waiting on the dock with two umbrellas. After seeing the woman get ashore, the man hurriedly walked over, held up an umbrella, asked about the woman's well-being, and quickly looked at the child being on her back. The woman pointed to Yan Liqiang behind her and whispered a few words to the man. The man ran to Yan Liqiang with a look of gratitude, "Little brother, thank you so much. The two of them returned to their parents' home in Qinghe County this time. I couldn't accompany them to go back. Thank you for your care on the road!"

"Brother, don't be polite, don't be polite, a little bit of a matter!"

"Little brother, it's raining outside now. You can use this umbrella with it. Don't get wet by the rain and your body will get cold..."

"No, no, I really can't use it. This little rain is nothing. Besides, I took your umbrella, what should you do..."

"If you don't accept it, you're disgusted. My house is nearby. You can get there in a few steps. Don't worry about me..." The man said, and directly stuffed an umbrella in his hand into Yan Liqiang's hand, then ran to the mother and son, took the umbrella in the woman's hand to protect the mother and son, and then took the mother and son away from the dock.

Seeing that man was mostly drenched in the rain and looking at the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, Yan Liqiang's heart became inexplicably warm and moved.

In the past few months of rebirth, many memories and feelings about his previous life have gradually faded away. He has become more and more accustomed to everything in this world, gradually integrated into his current identity, and has become an ordinary Chinese boy in Pingxi County, Ganzhou, the Han Empire. The people living in this world are as simple, kind, and hardworking as many ordinary people he saw in his previous life. Many times, a warm smile and a very simple greeting "Have you eaten?" can surpass all languages.

After looking at the oil paper umbrella in his hand, Yan Liqiang smiled, opened the oil paper umbrella, and then walked towards Pingxi City in the distance.

Xijiang Wharf is not far from the north gate of Pingxi City, and is more than a thousand meters together. Standing on the side of the wharf, from a distance, you can also see the tall city tower at the north gate of Pingxi City squatting like a giant beast in the misty rain.

There is a market town on this side of the pier. The market town is full of signs of various business stores and warehouses. It looks very prosperous. Perhaps because of the rain, there are very few pedestrians on the pier and in the town. Sometimes there are a few, and they are all in a hurry.

There are several carriages on the roadside that can carry people to Pingxi City. The carriage driver who pulled the carriage was wearing a straw raincoat and sheltered from the eaves of a roadside business. Yan Liqiang walked over and asked about the price. From here to the north gate of Pingxi County, there was a copper plate. The price was not expensive, just a bun, but Yan Liqiang needed to wait for 6 people in the carriage to go together.

Looking at the rainy weather, I have to wait for five more people and don’t know when it will be. It’s a bit expensive to sit on such a little road. Yan Liqiang is not a weak person. He simply doesn’t take a carriage and holds an umbrella. After identifying the direction, he walked towards the north gate of Pingxi City.

Sure enough, the road outside Pingxi City was well built and was a standard official road. Even on rainy days, the official road was not too muddy except for a little wet. Yan Liqiang walked from the dock to the north gate, and his boots were not covered with a little mud.

There are soldiers guarding the city at the gate of Pingxi County, and there is a cash box at the door. If you want to enter the city, you have to pay two copper coins for entry.

While Yan Liqiang was queuing, a messy voice suddenly came from behind. Yan Liqiang turned around and saw a team of dozens of camels and more than ten rhino dragon horses, who had just arrived in front of the door.

The camels were covered with boxes and goods, while the rhino dragons were all riding in some strange clothes, with different faces from the Chinese people, their hair and eyes were a little light red, their eyes were a little sunken, and their hair and beards were thick, which was obvious to them. The riders had scimitars hanging on their waists, and several riders had bows and arrows hanging on their saddles, and they rushed towards the city gate with a proud look.

Even though they were approaching the city gate, several alien riders riding on the Xilong horse did not slow down their horse speed. Several pedestrians walking in the middle of the road could not avoid it and were suddenly taken by the horse to fall into the mud and water on the side of the road. They were very embarrassed. Several alien riders were still sitting high on the Xilong horse, without even looking at the person who was knocked down by them. Two riders looked at the person who fell to the ground coldly, and even showed a disdainful smile on the corner of their mouths.

The team of alien riders rushed over directly to the city gate, without having to go through the inspection of the soldiers at the city gate, nor did they pay the city entrance fee. They rode their horses through the city gate in a swaggering manner, and looked at the people standing on both sides of the city gate with a disdainful look.

A young soldier was about to step forward with his fists clenched, but was pulled by another soldier and said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten the fate of the college captain? If these Shatu people started to make trouble at the city gate, the Shatu people in the city would clamor again. When encountering such a thing, the superiors would only question us and would not dare to touch these Shatu people..."
