As soon as "here ......" entered the city, Zhuya was immediately affected by the calm atmosphere in the city and became even more confused. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Follow up, don't be left alone." I instructed Zhuya to say, and then led the mule forward with Shen Ji, and whispered, "Everything here is the same as described by Gao Tao, when Gao Tao was ordered by Zhen Xuan, he came here to arrest Qi Hui, I thought that this must be a very vicious place, but when I entered the city, I was confused by the scene in the city. ”

"It really doesn't look like a vicious place." Shen Jian inadvertently looked at the surrounding merchants.

"However, in Cangjie's records, there has not been a single leader here since the death of Qi Hui, and a tribe without a leader is not only not in chaos, but everything is in order, which is incredible." As we spoke, we looked at the Moshan people who were selling basic necessities with stalls on both sides of the road, "Unless the people here are very orderly." ”

However, after five years, without a leader, the Moshan clan can still maintain such a living environment, which is really unexpected.

"Auntie, may I ask." I walked up to a lady who sold eggs, she raised her head to look at me, I squatted in front of her and talked to her, and pointed to Shen Ji and Zhuya who were following me, "My brother and I came here unconsciously, I want to ask you, what is this place?" ”

The eldest lady looked at us very vigilantly, "Where are you from?" ”

"Jingzhou." I said, "We came from Jingzhou and wanted to go to Qingzhou to find my aunt." ”

"Little girl, this is not Qingzhou, Qingzhou, you have to go further north, this is Xuzhou." Although the eldest lady was wary, she probably didn't suspect too much when she saw that a girl came up to ask me.

"Xuzhou?" I pretended to be surprised and said to Shen Ji, "Brother, what should I do, we have gone to Xuzhou." ”

Shen Yu listened, handed the leash of the mule to Zhuya, and walked over. "How did you get to Xuzhou? We all inquired about it all the way, and it was impossible to get to Xuzhou. ”

"But now that it is getting dark, and we are out of the city now, I am afraid that we will have to live in the barren mountains and wilderness at night." I looked worried, looked at the sky, and then asked my aunt, "Auntie, is there a guest house in this city?" I want to stay in this city today, and then leave for Qingzhou tomorrow, and the road will be safer. ”

Who knew that the eldest lady waved her hand again and again when she heard the words, "This is the crown city, and there are not a few faces in the city all year round, where are there any guest houses." ”

"What then?" I'm embarrassed, this time it's true, I didn't expect that there is not even a guest house in this crown city, and we may not even be able to find a place to stay today.

"Auntie." Shen Jian squatted down, "You see it's getting dark, please help me think about it, and see where there is a place to live nearby." It's nothing for me and my brother to sleep in the wilderness, but my little sister is a girl's family after all, so it's inconvenient. ”

The eldest lady listened, took a closer look at my clothes, and said, "This girl is dressed plainly and elegantly, I'm afraid she is not an ordinary girl." ”

Shen Ji took out a bag of shells from the placket, "Auntie, please help." ”

"Oh, that's what you said." With a smiling face, the eldest lady took the bag of shells and counted them secretly, "If you don't dislike it, you can live in my house first." My family is just my wife and my son, and there are two empty houses. ”

"How?" Shen Ji asked me.

I thought about it for a while, "That's all I have to do now, I'm out of the city now, and I don't know if there are wolves in the mountains." ”

"So be it." Shen Ji said to the eldest mother, "Then disturb the eldest mother." ”

……

"This night, the sea breeze is strong, cover more so as not to catch a cold." The eldest lady asked her son to bring us a few more blankets.

Zhuya stepped forward to help, and Shen Yu took the two blankets and sent them to the room where I was going to live alone.

"Is this your brother?" The eldest lady looked at Shen Ji carefully, but quietly pulled me over and asked.

"Well, my big brother." I answered.

"My wife, my name is Min Jiang, and everyone in this crown city calls me Min Jiang's mother-in-law. Girl, you ......" she deliberately druffled her voice, meaning to ask for my name.

"Oh, my name is Huo Xi." I hurriedly introduced.

"Woe to you?" Granny Min Jiang naturally disliked my name, "What a girl, how can you call this name." ”

Then, I saw her deliberately looking at Shen Ji, and immediately understood what she meant, this is to probe our bottom. "My eldest brother Shen Ji, that brother who is in the same village as us and has a very good relationship, is called Zhuya."

Just as Min Jiang's mother-in-law's son came out, "Mother, I'll go and light the fire first." ”

"My son, Kuyama." Granny Min Jiang raised her chin and motioned for her son.

"However, I am curious about one thing, Granny Min Jiang, you said that there is no guest house here because no one comes. What's going on? We came all the way, and in every city we passed, we could find a guest house to settle in. Why is there no guest house in the crown city? "I tried to expand my question with such a trivial question.

"Hey, what is this? No one has been here in Miancheng for many years, and since that incident, our Miancheng has become an abandoned land in Kyushu. The people of Kyushu are afraid of Lord Qijuni, so after the accident, they hid far away, how could anyone come here by themselves. "Granny Min Jiang said it very casually, as if there was nothing to hide.

"What's that?" I asked.

Granny Min Jiang was stunned for a moment, and waved her hand, "What's the matter, it's not early, let's rest early." ”

After saying that, Granny Min Jiang turned around and went back to her house.

"Did you ask something?" Shen Jian came over, and he deliberately waited until Granny Min Jiang left and I was left alone.

"She deliberately let out a message to me." I said, looking at Shen Ji, "That Kuangshan is not her son, they don't look like each other at all." Min Jiang's mother-in-law has a single eyelid, but Kuangshan has double eyelids, and there are differences in other dominant genetic traits between the two, so it can basically be concluded that Kuangshan is not her son. But it's not sure if they have anything to do with the deed, but Granny Min Jiang deliberately mentioned the deediper to me just now, and that incident. But when I asked, she deliberately avoided it. ”

"Then will they be the people of the Cypress?" Zhuya also came over.

"I don't know yet, but I think we should be fighting crookedly and going straight to the thieves' den." Granny Min Jiang has behaved unusually since we entered the city, if she just wanted to show resistance to our appearance, it was impossible for Shen Yi to immediately agree to let us live in her house just because Shen Yu took out the bag of shells.

When a person hears a sound from something that makes him desire, his intuitive reaction is excitement. But when Granny Min Jiang took the bag of shells, I didn't notice such emotions in her reaction at all, and she behaved even more exaggeratedly, and deliberately counted the shells, just turned sideways, as if she wished we could see her coveting those things.

"What do you think?" I finished my opinion, so I started to ask Shen Ji.

Shen Yu said, "This crown city seems to be calm, but it is not. It seems to be hidden beneath the cosy surface, and there is another wave of waves. And who is it for the superficial appearance? At least one sentence of the mother-in-law Min Jiang just now was true, she said that there were not a few faces in this crown city all year round, and her reaction at that time was very real. But if few people come to the crown city, then what is this apparent calm concealing? ”

"Could it be the court?" I felt a little uneasy. "If Qi Hui fakes his death, then Mian Cheng deliberately pretends to be calm, which is nothing more than making a show for Yi Ting. Causing the court to let down his guard in order to cover up his fake death. This Min Jiang mother-in-law set up a stall near the city gate, there are few egg vendors on the street, but her business is very bad, after we entered the city until I approached her stall, there were people on the street, but no one asked her for the price or bought, it should not be just because of her eggs. ”

"Miss Huo Xi, what do you mean, this old woman sells eggs under the guise of selling eggs?" Zhuya understood now, and couldn't help but be startled, "Then she is setting up a stall near the city gate, is it to observe the people entering the city?" ”

"Did you notice her hand just now?" I asked. Although Min Jiang's hands have loose folds left by age, her knuckles are not thick, and women who work often will have their fingers deformed due to years of labor, which is generally manifested as thickening of the fingers, which is caused by the bones in the knuckles. But Min Jiang's mother-in-law's fingers are slender, if this family is really like she said, there are only two people, she and her son, then she who pulls her son to grow up, her fingers are absolutely impossible to be like that. ”

Taking a step back, even if her husband died not long ago, but a woman has to take care of a family, sewing and mending, washing and washing, her hands will be extremely rough and very ugly.

"Huo Xi, it seems that tonight will not be too easy." Shen Ji said.

"Well, it won't be too easy. Everyone be careful, don't fall into the trap. I remind.

If Granny Min Jiang really deliberately set up a stall at the gate of the city and pay attention to the people entering the city, then the passers-by who came over but didn't even ask the price were also very deliberate, as if they were cooperating with Granny Min Jiang to perform such a scene. Because they knew the reason why Granny Min Jiang was setting up a stall there, they didn't come forward to ask, so the crisis in this city was only more severe than we expected at the beginning.

When we first entered the Moshan clan, we were brought here.

And the current situation seems to be quite similar to when Gao Tao first entered here.

It is not yet known what they are going to do next. (To be continued.) )
