Chapter 575

The old mottled city wall is scattered between mountains and seas. In the middle of the city wall is a two-story city tower. There is a huge plaque hanging in the center of the city tower, with the five words "The No. 1 Pass in the World" written on it. This is Shanhai Pass, which separates the inner and outer passes of the pass.

Xian'er had never seen such a spectacular building before, and she was a little confused for a while. After a while, she woke up and asked with Chen Long's sleeve, "Brother Chuanwen, after passing this pass, he will be outside the pass? Then are we almost reaching Sanjiangkou?"

"After passing this pass, it is indeed outside the pass, but it is still far from Sanjiangkou!" The soldiers at the door stood there listlessly, with pale faces and thinness without any momentum, just like this empire that was about to reach its end.

"After passing this pass, we walked two thousand miles north, and we only walked half of it." There were more than one thousand seven hundred kilometers from Longkou to Harbin, and there were more than nine hundred kilometers from Shanhaiguan.

"It's still that far?" Xian'er muttered, and his hand holding his sleeves tightened. He was not afraid. As long as Brother Chuanwen is there, he wouldn't be afraid to go there.

"Yes, let's go through the customs quickly. After passing the customs, we can barely pass the New Year with our parents." Chen Long took Xian'er into the customs, and the soldiers guarding the gate let them go without looking at it, which was very different from earlier.

In modern Chinese history, there have been three major immigration waves: breaking through Guandong, going west, going to Southeast Asia, going west, going south to sea, why do you have to use the word "break" when going to Guandong? That's because before, people inside the Guandong were strictly prohibited from entering, and every time they went to the past, they tried their best to break through. Now, with Tsarist Russia and Japan entering the Northeast, this ban no longer exists.

To absorb the population in the pass to fill the Northeast, perhaps it was one of the few things that the Qing government did right at the end of the Qing Dynasty? If it weren’t for tens of millions of people entering the Northeast, the situation in the Northeast would probably be even worse in the future.

From ancient times to the present, there are three roads from Guandong from Guandong. One is Lulong Road before the Tang Dynasty. The pass in Xifengkou area was called "Lulongsai" during the Han and Wei dynasties, and Lulong Road was named because of this. The route of Lulongsai is to go north along the left bank of the Luan River, then go north along the tributary of the Luan River until you cross the Yanshan Mountains, turn east along the west bank of the upper reaches of Laoha River, and head east along the Daling River to the northeast.

Cao Cao took Lulong Road to conquer Wuhuan. The establishment and ruling centers of the two counties of Youbeiping and western Liaoning were on Lulong Road. The Daling River Valley in western Liaoning also became the ruling center of the Central Plains dynasty in the northeast.

The second road is Gubei Road. With the rise of Xi and Khitan in the late Tang Dynasty in the Silamulun River Basin north of Yanshan, Gubei Road suddenly emerged, got rid of its original rugged and dangerous state, and gradually replaced the original position of Lulong Road.

The starting point of Gubei Road is Xijin Prefecture, Nanjing, Liao, which is today's capital. It passes today's Shunyi County and Miyun County, crosses the Chaohe River northward through Gubeikou, crosses the Luan River northeast in Luanping County, and meets the original Lulong Road in the east; but after reaching the near Chifeng all the way north, he goes north along the Laoha River to reach Liaozhongjing Dading Prefecture; you can also continue to advance northward and go directly to Liao Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture.

After Chen Long and Xian'er passed through Shanhaiguan, they chose to go beside the sea route, along the Bohai Bay, heading north towards Jinzhou, and then arrived in Jinzhou and then continued northward through Changchun to reach Sanjiangkou.

On New Year's Eve, they arrived at a small town on the Bohai Sea. During the Chinese New Year, Chen Long naturally didn't want to suffer outside easily, so he spent money to find an inn to stay in and let them boil water and take a good bath.

"Hello, just look!" The waiter responded, happily taking the money that Chen Long threw away to work. The people who rushed to Guandong couldn't celebrate the New Year at home. During the New Year, they still had to rush, so the inn is still open now.

"See a good bath and feel comfortable. We will rest on the first day of the Lunar New Year and set off again on the second day." After all, it is the New Year, and it will be a bit hard to have to hurry on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

After taking a shower, Xian'er and Shen Long felt comfortable all over. They were so warm that they were roasting on fire in the house, which was so comfortable that they were sleeping outside in the wilderness.

I was sitting on the kang and talking, but I heard the inn owner knocking on the door outside. When I opened the door, I saw that the owner was holding a tray in his hand, two large bowls of dumplings and a pot of wine on it. He came straight in and placed it on the table through the tray, and then bowed, "I'm New Year's Eve today. I wish you two good health and peace and well-being."

"You are polite, boss, I wish you a wealth and a healthy family." During the Chinese New Year, you naturally have to say some good things. The boss also has to deliver dumplings to other guests. After saying a few words, he went out.

Chen Long brought the tray to the kang table, "Xian'er, come, let's kowtow to our parents first, and then eat dumplings together." The two kowtowed to the north a few times, and then kowtowed a few times in the direction of their hometown, "Dad, mom, it's the New Year, we have passed Shanhaiguan, we are greeting you New Year! I wish you peace and safety in the family, health and health, and bless us to safely go to Guandong..."

"Brother Chuanwen, I have a lot of bowls. I can't finish them. Let's share them with you!" After kowtowing, Xian'er picked up a few dumplings in her bowl. She smelled the fragrance of the dumplings and couldn't help swallowing.

"I'll try it first." Chen Long picked up a dumpling and chewed it carefully, but he didn't eat anything unusual. There were many black shops along the way, so you have to be careful.

"It's a bit unfavorable to me. You should eat these!" Chen Long transferred the dumplings given by Xian'er back and gave her a few more. Xian'er wanted to return them. Chen Long was the standard and tangled for a long time.

After two days off, on the first day of the second day of the lunar month, Chen Long and Xian'er walked north again. After walking for a few days, Xian'er's face became more and more sad. "Brother Chuanwen, we are almost spending our money and the food is almost gone. Why don't we sell this mahjong to buy food?"

"No hurry, there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. Let's talk about it when it is almost done!" Now it has entered the northeast. The Bohai Sea is on the right side of the road and the deep mountains and forests on the left. It would be strange if such a place can starve people to death.

That day, passing by a town, Chen Long asked Xian'er to rest in the Taoist temple outside the town, and ran outside by himself to see if he could get some wild game and go to the town to exchange food.

He did not have the keen sense of smell as Sun Wukong. He turned around for a while before he lifted back a few pheasants. When he returned to the town, he saw a group of people surrounding the Taoist temple, and a leader was smiling there, "A big girl from Xian Lingling, like a flower, is really painful. Let's go back with the fifth master and have a delicious meal!"

Hearing this voice, Chen Long was happy, hey, have you met a bully?
