The next day's morning light bloomed slightly, and the east gate of Qimen County quietly opened, Zhu Yuenuan changed into men's clothes, and took Pang Li, You Cui and a few fast fish who had changed their cloth clothes out of the city gate, and galloped all the way to Longwei Mountain.

Half a day later, they arrived at the foot of Longwei Mountain.

"Ma'am, that's over there." Pang Li restrained the horses, pointed to the dense woods not far away and said to Zhu Yuenuan, "Please wait a moment." ”

"Okay." Zhu Yuenuan dismounted with a smile and said to You Cui and the others, "Let's rest in place." ”

Pang Li smiled, exchanged glances with a few catchers behind him, and rode into the forest alone.

"Hey, what do you mean?" You Cui saw it, and immediately raised his eyebrows at the catchers who were left behind.

"Sister Cui, don't get me wrong, this is the rule of Longwei Mountain, and the last time the adults came, it was also like this." Several people hurriedly explained with a smile, and diligently picked up dead branches, swept the ground, and cleaned up the resting place.

"Today we suddenly came to visit Mr. Xu, as a junior, we should respect it." Zhu Yuenuan didn't care, tied the horse to a tree, took a sip of the water bladder, and moved his hands and feet casually.

You Cui glanced at them and went straight to get dry food.

A few of the catchers quickly tied their horses and dispersed on their own.

"They really are." You Cui's dissatisfaction was obvious, and he handed the green onion cake in his hand to Zhu Yuenuan, and helped explain two sentences, "Madam, don't blame, this is seeing that the pass is approaching, and the mountains are not calm, I think they are also here for safety, but with Pang Li here, they will come soon." ”

"It's okay, Longwei Mountain is a place for them to settle down, and it's normal to be well defended." Zhu Yuenuan didn't care, and took a hard piece of green onion cake and nibbled on it in small bites.

The sun was shining in the afternoon, and there were mountains around to block the cold wind, but it was also quite warm.

Zhu Yuenuan ate a little, then put it away, and the scattered catchers also came back, bringing a few hares and busy cleaning them up.

"Sister Cui." Zhu Yuenuan stepped aside and looked at the dense mountain forest. shouted.

"Ma'am?" You Cui came over immediately.

"Is there wild ginseng in this mountain?" Zhu Yuenuan pointed to the mountains and forests and asked.

"Naturally, in previous years, when it was peaceful, the elders often went into the mountains to dig ginseng, and that old man was a master of digging ginseng." You Cui opened her mouth and came.

"Uncle Wu seems to have not seen him for a few days." Zhu Yuenuan nodded.

"He often goes into the mountains. It is strange to say that he often comes to Qimen every three or five months, but over the years, he has not been injured once, and everyone is very curious about him. When I asked him what he was going to know, he would go through it every time. You Cui sighed, "However, he will stay in the gate every year during the New Year, and every year he will come to make two catties of wine, and he will die drunk in the land temple in the west of the city every year, and acquaintances have also invited him to stay overnight, but he has never depended, and everyone has to send him some food in the first year of the new year, but ...... It is said that every time he was seen sitting facing west. Everyone guessed that his relatives might be in the west. ”

"I see." Zhu Yuenuan nodded suddenly.

"Madame is looking for a ginseng digger?" You Cui looked at her and asked curiously.

"No, I just wanted to ask, didn't there be some misunderstanding last night? I thought it was an enemy attack, but those people said that they were businessmen who made ginseng, and the county respected couldn't find their flaws, so they had to let them in, but what they said was true or false had to be clear. Zhu Yuenuan shook her head and explained casually.

"I didn't know that Mrs. Chu was coming. It's too late. Just then, there was a hearty laugh in the woods.

Zhu Yuenuan and the others immediately turned around.

On the other side of the forest, Pang Li accompanied a sturdy young man, who was taller than Pang Li. With a dark complexion, wearing a deerskin robe, carrying arrows, and a quiver hanging from his waist, he greeted this side step by step, and arrived in front of You Cui. He blinked his eyes in surprise and asked in a loud voice, "Huh?" Ali, you're not going to fool me, are you? Isn't this Sister Cui? Could it be that Lord Chu doesn't like my sister and looks down on Sister Cui? ”

"Brother Liang, don't talk nonsense." Pang Li and the others were busy with their eyes.

"Xu Liang, let your dog fart!" You Cuiqiao's face was flushed, and it was a slap when she went up.

"Oh, Sister Cui, I haven't seen you for so long, why do you beat me when you see me? Can't you just make a joke? Xu Liang laughed, moving his body flexibly, and every time he narrowly avoided You Cui when he was about to hit him.

Zhu Yuenuan couldn't help but look at it twice in surprise.

"Madam, this is Xu Liang, Xu Zhi's brother, he is the ...... I've always had a bad mouth, so please don't blame it. Pang Li didn't care about them, and walked up to Zhu Yuenuan and bowed his hand apologetically, "Uncle Xu asked Mrs. to go up the mountain, and when I came out, I met Brother Liang halfway, and he said that he came to pick up Mrs. on behalf of Uncle Xu." ”

"It's okay, this temperament is as straightforward as Xu Zhi." Zhu Yuenuan shook her head with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong~~" Over there, Xu Liang had been blocked under the tree by You Cui, and he kicked it several times, and at this moment he was making an apology to You Cui's hippie smile.

Zhu Yuenuan stared at her and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"After Ah Le's father passed away, Brother Liang has never talked about family affairs." Pang Li followed Zhu Yuenuan's gaze and explained in a low voice, "But it is the first time to be so happy." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Yuenuan looked at them, nodded with a smile, and looked up at the sky, "It's not early, let's go up the mountain to visit Uncle Xu." ”

"Brother Liang, let's go." Pang Li greeted, turned to inspect the fire, and raised his leg to kick a lot of dirt up.

"It's not good." Someone screamed and snatched up the half-roasted hare.

"We came to accompany Madame, but we didn't let you have a picnic, hurry up, Uncle Xu is waiting." Pang Li scolded with a smile, and completely extinguished the fire in three or two clicks.

Everyone laughed, packed up, and led their horses to follow.

"Madam, it's not suitable to ride a horse in the woods, I've wronged you to move." Pang Li politely and thoughtfully led the way.

"It's okay, I'm not a petite girl, this little road is nothing." Zhu Yuenuan shook her head and calmly followed behind.

Xu Liang looked back at You Cui as he walked, but he always ignored Zhu Yuenuan.

You Cui was angry and annoyed, returned to Zhu Yuenuan's side with a red face, and no longer looked at Xu Liang.

Xu Liang touched his nose boringly, turned upside down, and arched his hand casually at Zhu Yuenuan: "Men in the mountains don't know how to be polite, don't blame." The tone was a little rushed, not at all as hearty and cordial as the sentence "Mrs. Chu is coming and missing the welcome" when she just came out.

Zhu Yuenuan smiled and nodded, but did not answer, and walked past him and continued.

Xu Liang was slightly stunned, looked up at Zhu Yuenuan's back and squinted his eyes.

"Brother Liang, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have to have a drink with your brothers tonight." Seeing this, the next few catchers glanced at each other, stepped forward to surround Xu Liangtuan, and greeted each other with shoulders and backs. (To be continued.) )
