Volume 1: First Arrival in the Star Martial Continent Chapter 45: The Mysterious Mist
Passing through the curtain of fog and bypassing the embarrassing fog, Yang Zhenqiang rode a red rabbit horse and left the place and came to a short distance from the teahouse.
'Huh~'
Stopped within a radius of ten miles from the teahouse, and also controlled the reins, and the reins controlled the red rabbit horse, and also stopped at this moment. Under the control of Yang Zhenqiang, the red rabbit horse made a few laps in place, exhaled lightly from the horse's mouth, and slowly stopped its noble steps, its eyes slowly lowered, and its ears were also fanning mosquitoes intentionally or unintentionally, as if it was driving away mosquitoes.
Yang Zhenqiang slowly controlled the red rabbit horse, and his eyes were also looking straight ahead, but he saw that there were a few camphor trees in front of him, he bypassed these camphor trees, and also looked behind the camphor trees.
I saw that not far behind the camphor tree, it was the white cloth that I had seen before, but the word 'tea' written on the white cloth was not the word 'tea' in the teahouse, but a very obscure font, he couldn't see it clearly, even if it was not far from the white cloth, he still couldn't see what was written on the white cloth.
On the contrary, it is behind the white cloth, and it is not a building, let alone a teahouse.
"Could it be that I saw it wrong?" Yang Zhenqiang walked around the camphor tree, looked at the object behind Bai Bu, and muttered quietly at the corner of his mouth, but he was extremely puzzled.
If what you saw wasn't the teahouse, what would it be?
Also, this white cloth also looks a little oozing, not quite like something that a teahouse would use... When it is more like a person dies, the items used in the funeral, except for the blank ground around and no paper money for the dead, everything seems to give people a feeling that is extremely unspecial, and this feeling is also from the bottom of my heart, I can't say it.
Anyway, I also saw something quite penetrating and strangely uncomfortable.
Even if the tourists passing by see it, they will flee here in a hurry, or take a detour, and they will never be like Yang Zhenqiang, and they will control the red rabbit horse calmly, looking around calmly, without a trace of fear on their faces.
So in this way, under the foot of the Wumen Tianshan Mountain, there is such a teahouse that is not a teahouse, and the white cloth hanging on the side of the teahouse, coupled with this foggy scene, this makes people feel a lot of infiltration when they see it.
Now.
A minute or so passed.
Yang Zhenqiang didn't notice the rapid flow of time beside him, and he only controlled the red rabbit horse, slowly moving towards the white cloth, his pace was a little slow, and he was a little light.
With the passage of time, the fog that had originally dissipated slowly rose from the ground at this time, under the light of the comfortable sun.
Although the speed at which the fog rose was not particularly fast, the vague fog and the previous fog completely concealed the way he came.
Even if a passing traveler accidentally breaks into this place, he will lose his way in the fog curtain after a few seconds, and thus be swallowed up by the growing fog curtain and disappear into the world.
However, these fogs look no different from the usual scarce fogs, the only difference is that Yang Zhenqiang didn't move a step, and the speed at which these fogs rose also increased exponentially.
Yang Zhenqiang himself was naturally unaware of this sudden phenomenon.
At this moment, he focused all his attention on the white cloth not far ahead, because Yang Zhenqiang also wanted to understand whether it was his own visual error or just an ordinary white cloth.
As for Yang Ling and his wife, they have not completely woken up on the top of the mountain, and those caretakers naturally dare not touch Yang Ling and his wife when they see that Yang Zhenqiang has not yet arrived, after all, the leaders above have stipulated that if their wives and children are moved, what awaits them will be ruined and their families will be ruined.
There are old ones and some young ones, and they can only think of various ways to stop Yang Zhenqiang from going up the mountain, and then according to the prescribed requirements, they can also do it to the two of them for legitimate reasons.
However, these guards will not do this, because they have 100% reason to believe that since there is such a rule, then they will definitely have the strength to do it.
In this way, these guards do not dare to take the lives of their families as a countervail, after all, they have wives and children at home, and they can only abide by the rules of the above to do things.
"At this point, he shouldn't be able to follow the rules and arrive in time, right?"
"Regardless of whether he will arrive in time or not, anyway, those of us who are the guards just need to follow the orders from above. ”
"You're right. Even if the man kept the agreed time and came to the top of this mountain, the boss would naturally have a way to deal with him. ”
"Whatever, whatever you do, whatever you say from above, we as caretakers just have to follow the rules. ”
Between the guards' rooms, in the light of the kerosene lamps, there were dozens of moths, under the illumination of the lights, again and again, regardless of the danger, desperately rushed to the shaking light.
Under the light, there are three or four caretakers, dressed in blue pigment clothes, with the word "guard" engraved on their clothes, and several people are giggling and laughing around the wooden table of this square stool, although the wooden table makes a noisy sound of 'chirping' from time to time, but this does not affect the several plates of blue and white porcelain Fluttershy placed on the wooden table.
The blue and white porcelain Fluttershy contained a few peanuts and fried melon seeds, while the four sides of the wooden table also contained a few small cups of blue and white porcelain cups, which contained wine, which was poured from the blue and white porcelain wine jug placed in the center of the wooden table.
But this wine is not the other wine, it is different from those noble wines collected by officials.
This wine, for a small amount of money on the market, can have such a small pot of famous wine.
For these two taels of small money, the average farming family's daily wage is only two taels of small dollars, let alone these caretakers.
After all, being a caretaker is better than going to the sea to work as a coolie, and at least he can earn about three taels a day.
Compared with the average farming family, the daily wage is a small amount higher.
Then, although the wages are higher than those of ordinary farming families, the dangerous nature of them can be imagined.
In addition, take about half a day's salary to buy a small pot of such a famous wine, and sell a few plates of peanuts and fried melon seeds, not to mention how comfortable the taste is.
In addition, the market price of peanuts and fried melon seeds is also different, different from famous wine, a pound of peanuts or fried melon seeds, equal to a small amount of money on the market.
Relatively speaking, these peanuts and fried melon seeds are relatively common.
In this way, the amount of famous wine and peanuts or fried melon seeds can be known by looking at the price.
Since the beginning of this new era, the Emperor has issued an order to unify the writing method of the script and the uniform specifications of the currency throughout the country.
Then the prices in the market or prices are uniformly arranged and taxed by the state to adjust prices.
As a result, under the black-box operation, the prices in the market were suddenly confused.
And this currency is still arranged according to the following specifications;
A hundred small coins are equal to one tael of silver
A hundred pieces of silver are equal to one tael of gold
A hundred gold brackets are equal to one tael of silver
A hundred pieces of silver are equal to one tael of gold
A hundred pieces of broken gold are equal to one or two crystals
One hundred crystals is equal to one tael of gold
......
The order of the currencies is also in order from small to large, and so on.
And these guards are also drinking small wine, chewing peanuts and fried melon seeds in their mouths, while discussing gossip with each other.
However, in general, the thoughts of the leaders above will never be understood by them as caretakers, and they do not want to understand the thoughts of the people above.
For these caretakers, having enough food and clothing, not worrying about what will happen to their wives and children at home, and being safe and secure are the biggest thoughts and wishes of these guards.
Nowadays, it is not a big deal to be able to receive your share of salary every month.
At least, with today's medicine, the health of the family is still guaranteed, and in addition, it is not easy to have such a small Su heart easily and leisurely every day like today.
Even though.
The lights in the guard's room are dim, but the life of a few people is also very good.
The other side.
Under the foot of the Wumen Tianshan Mountain, the fog has spread to the entire foot of the mountain, and it has also wrapped the Wumen Tianshan in all directions.
In addition to the road that Yang Zhenqiang looked at, the road that came from here was naturally covered by this mysterious mist.
Yang Zhenqiang also controlled the red rabbit horse, walking extremely slowly step by step, even the place where the horse's hooves stepped down, there was a slight wind dust in it, even those golden leaves that were carried up by the wind and dust, also floated into the air at this moment, and finally when the red rabbit horse stepped on the next step, it slowly fell to the ground and stopped.
'Rustle~~'
A faint wind in the air pierced through the fog and through the leaves buried in the ground, and the fading sound was also in the air at this moment.
Yang Zhenqiang also rode a red rabbit horse, bypassed several camphor trees in front of him, and came to the back of the camphor trees.
There is still an hour and a half before the appointed time.
Coming behind the camphor tree, Yang Zhenqiang also controlled the red rabbit horse and stopped, only to see that the breeze was gently blowing between his cheeks, and there was a little more banter in it.
After stopping his steps, Yang Zhenqiang raised his eyes slightly, and his gaze also looked straight ahead, but finally stopped on the white cloth that was almost supported by bamboo poles.
On the white cloth, there is not a word, not even the word 'tea' in a teahouse, just a few inconspicuous holes, and some old white cloth is hung on it, and there is no other word on the white cloth.
Yang Zhenqiang looked at the white cloth, also looked at the white cloth, and muttered softly at the corner of his mouth: "This white cloth should be some years old." ”
I saw that on this white cloth, there were already traces of annual rings, and even the bamboo pole supporting the white cloth had already been on the annual rings of the years, giving people a broken scene that would not arrive, and would be blown to the ground immediately as soon as the wind came.
It's just that Yang Zhenqiang didn't figure out why there is such a dilapidated place here?
In addition, why was this white cloth inserted here by this bamboo pole alone?
And this, just the scene in front of him, also made him feel a lot of doubts.
Yang Zhenqiang's gaze moved away from the white cloth, and then looked behind him around the white cloth, "Is this the teahouse?"
I saw that behind this white cloth was a teahouse building, although it was a little thin, but it did not match this white cloth.
This white cloth is here, but it adds a strange scene to this teahouse.
He couldn't figure it out, but he saw that the teahouse was simple and luxurious.
In front of the teahouse, there is a transparent square land, on which are placed several small square tables, and directly above the small square table is a shed that is not very tense.
Even though the sunlight could shine through the not-so-thin shed, it could be easily blocked.
