One hundred and eighteen set off for the county seat

Early in the morning of the day of departure, the weather suddenly changed, and the scorching sun, which had been warm before, seemed to be frozen by a north wind that came out of nowhere, completely revealing the face of early winter.

Fortunately, Manqing is prepared. This time, they came out to save people, and Manqing is still a single girl, so they are all prepared to be simple and thick. Not to mention the senior two in high school, a few people from the Gui family revolved around him, and they were also very prepared. It's Aunt Gui, her belongings are not thick, and a few thick clothes are also rented in a small house in the town, but they haven't been taken out.

They had to go to the town first, and then rent a carriage to go to the county seat. After walking a few steps outside, Aunt Zhou was trembling, "This God, why did you suddenly have a convulsion today?"

"Aunt Zhou," Man Qing saw it and hurriedly persuaded her, "Or we'll go to town in a while, you can go back and pack a few clothes first!"

"No, no!" Aunt Zhou's fan-like hand waved very chicly, "My body is as strong as a cow, and I haven't been sick for many yearsβ€”β€” hey, when I was young, in the cold winter, I still went out to chop firewood and collect firewood!

Man Qing persuaded again and again, and the senior two also helped to persuade her, but Aunt Zhou just said that it was important to go to the county seat to help Boss Zhang, and her body didn't matter. Man Qing thought, if you can't get to the county seat, buy one for Aunt Zhou, she has money now, and she doesn't want to delay.

At this time, everyone was preparing for the winter planting of vegetables and wheat, because there were few people in the town, and they easily called a carriage and staggered all the way to the county seat.

This is the first time that Manqing has gone so far out of the door. If it weren't for this situation, she would always be worried about Zhang Ye in the cell, but she wanted to enjoy the scenery along the road. All the scenery seemed gray to her, as if she was infected by her mood, and was shrouded in a layer of smoke.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the senior didn't have anything to say, "Manqing, look at the river over there, it's a diversion of the Tong River, and the water flows down from the high mountains over there, which is very sweet." And there is a kind of fish in that small river, which is usually stuck to the stones, and it is difficult to catch, but there are almost no bones in the body, and it is delicious to make a clear soup-"

Aunt Zhou also knew about this fish, and the two immediately chatted about this fish.

"I also ate it when I was a young refugee! Hey, it was bitter at that time, everyone went to catch fish in the river every day, and then not to mention the fish, even the snails and small river mussels were eaten up......

Man Qing knew that they were trying to relieve her, so she also leaned over and asked, "Siliang, how do you know about this kind of fish, you have also come here to catch fish?"

"I've been here! Why haven't I been! The little gangsters in this neighborhood have basically been to this river! You think, the fish in this river are delicious, and you don't need money, so if you catch a fish, you can get something to boil, put some salt, and put some mint leaves, that's called a delicious food! We call Hanako and we also have a delicacy called Hanako!"

As soon as she said this, Aunt Zhou laughed. But Man Qing's thoughts couldn't help but think, back then, I don't know if Zhang Ye had ever been to this river? Thinking that he was such a proud person, he didn't know what kind of situation it was when he wandered in his early years, is it the same as the senior in the early years, only a few bones are left, the east family is a little bit of the west family for a day, and sometimes he spends time waiting for rabbit holes in the mountains?

Thinking about such a poor senior tael, she finally lived a good life, but she met these scoundrels again - Man Qing turned her head to look at the river, so that the people in the car would not see her already red eyes.

No matter how they explained, without news of him, her heart was like frying oil: could he be tortured, but he was injured?

The road was quite smooth, and the old horse walked neither fast nor slow, and was not affected by the mood of the rider in the slightest. The coachman was the same, his face was expressionless, and he didn't want to talk to Manqing.

Everyone in the town knows Man Qing, and they all know about Boss Zhang. As far as the coachman is concerned, he can just step on it, and as for anything else, he has nothing to do.

But in the end, he pointed them in the direction of the county government.

Compared with the town, this county is naturally much more spacious and spacious. The shops on both sides of the street are lined with shops, and although it is almost dusk at this time, there are still many people walking around the street, and there are also many food sellers on the street who are setting up stalls one after another.

They had been rocking in the carriage for so long that they were already hungry, but it was more important than eating to find a place to settle down. The coachman pointed the way in a timely manner, and they were also trying to find an inn near the county government to settle down, so that they could find out the news.

They walked all the way over, but before the entrance of the ya, they saw a number of people in official uniforms walking out one after another, thinking that the time had come, and they had already gone to the ya.

Come on, Man Qing privately thought that he could go directly to investigate, and it was estimated that it would be the next day.

The houses near the county government are obviously neater than in other places, that is, the streets are cleaner. But when they walked around, they only saw one inn, but that inn was a public one, and they had to ask for a certificate from the yamen to live in. No way, Manqing and the others had to expand the range, and retreated to find an inn a little farther away and asked for two rooms.

Putting down things in the room, several people hurried out to find something to eat. The world is big, and it is still great to feed the belly.

The senior two of high school saw that Man Qing was still carrying a burden when he came out to eat, which was very strange, "Man Qing, you just put the package in the inn - no one wants our few torn clothes!"

Man Qing smiled and didn't take the stubble, "Shall we go eat noodles?" I see that there is a fried noodles seller over there. ”

Aunt Zhou was shrewd and glared at Gao Si, "Some things must be better to carry with you." Jajangmyeon is good, I haven't eaten this in years, and I really miss it. Hey, there's still a steamed bun seller over there, so let's buy a few when we come back and eat it at night when we're hungry. ”

"Why are you hungry after dinner?" The senior was a little angry at his stupidity, so he scolded Aunt Zhou, "You also have to lose weight, too fat will affect your health!"

Aunt Zhou's eyes widened, "You little rabbit cub, I'll eat your meal? I have a salary, old lady! Maybe my salary is more than yours!"

Man Qing had no intention of laughing with them, and took the lead towards the noodle stall. She has no appetite now, and it doesn't matter what she eats.

It's just that Aunt Zhou is right, the burden on her back will not be put anywhere she goes, because inside, it is likely to be the key to saving Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye was afraid that something would happen, so he copied a copy of the riverside land documents handled in the town, the documents approved in the county town, the account books for gifts and land and houses for Zhangxian Tai, and the account books for gifts to everyone in the town. In addition, he also gave Man Qing a piece of cloth on which he wrote and asked her to find a descendant surnamed Qiu as a last resort.

So although Manqing was afraid, there was always some hope in his heart.
