Chapter 141: Tracking (3)
Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Xiao Nan was not in a hurry to enter the mountain, she led the horse into a small village of less than 100 people about three miles away from here, this village is about ten miles away from Qingfu Town, and does not belong to the jurisdiction of Qingfu Town, but a small village under the jurisdiction of Chengguan Town, Chengguan Town and Qingfu Town live next to each other, but do not belong to a county, Qingfu Town is under the jurisdiction of Song County, and Chengguan Town is under the jurisdiction of Ruyang County.

Although they are not under the jurisdiction of a county, they are both towns under Baiyun Mountain, sharing this beautiful landscape and beautiful waters, and there are large areas of fertile land and plains, each other's living environment is almost the same, and the economic and cultural environment is almost the same, although the two towns are not under the same county, the competition between each other is quite fierce.
Without it, Qingfu Town is ranked in the top five in Song County in terms of economy and education, Chengguan Town is the same in Ruyang, Qingfu Town has a population of more than 50,000, and Chengguan Town is not much different.
Of course, these competitions have little to do with ordinary people, the big guys only need to take care of their own days, the village where Xiao Nan went is called Yang Village, there are only fifteen households in the whole village, more than ninety people, Xiao Nan came to this point about a little later, most of the strong laborers in the village will still work in the field, and the children of appropriate age go to school in private schools, plus the weather is cold, except for a group of young children who gather in the village to play, there are only a few idle dogs who found outsiders entering the village, and their mouths sent out enthusiastic dog barks.
The young children who gathered at the head of the village to play heard the barking of the dogs, and couldn't help but look up, facing the curious eyes of the children, Xiao Nan smiled slightly, she pointed to the horse she was holding in her hand, and said to a few children with a smile: "A few little Langjun, hello, may I ask where you can store horses in your village?" ”
"You go to Grandpa Lizheng, generally guests from other places have horses to leave in our village, and they will look for Lizheng." One of the children, who was about five years old, flashed a pair of big eyes, pointed to a courtyard not far from Xiao Nan and said, there are only more than ten households in this village, and the location that this child refers to is very easy to find, it is in the center of the front row of the village, it is a boxy five-room big tile house.
"Thank you, Xiao Langjun." Xiao Nan smiled and thanked a few children, led the horse towards the house, and before he got closer, he saw a black and white earth dog rushing out of it, barking at her, it screamed, and let the few idle dogs barking at Xiao Nan at the head of the village also rushed up, but these dogs only dared to stand seven or eight meters away from Xiao Nan and barked, and did not dare to approach, Xiao Nan at this moment did not seem to have any dangerous breath, but she had been hunting in the mountains and forests for a long time, and the invisible murderous aura soaked in her body could not escape the nose of these dogs.
The barking of the dog quickly attracted the attention of the people in the house, and after a while, a woman in her fifties walked out of the room, and the woman couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she saw Xiao Nan walking towards her door with the horse, she looked Xiao Nan up and down a few times, and found that she had indeed never seen this girl, and in a suspicious moment, Xiao Nan had walked in front of her, stopped at a position about four or five steps away from her, and said with a smile: "Hello auntie, I want to leave my horse in your village for a few days, but I don't know how to handle it?" ”
"Could it be that the little lady came from out of town to hunt?" The woman looked at Xiao Nan a few more times, the vigilance on her face dissipated a little, Xiao Nan wore leather hiking boots, wearing a tight-fitting hunting suit, with her excellent appearance and temperament, no matter how she looked, she looked like some little ladies from wealthy and noble families who came out to hunt, their Yang Village is close to the side of the mountain, not far from the official road outside, every autumn and winter, from time to time, there are Langjun little ladies in the city come in to hunt, and the matter of releasing horses happens from time to time, only Xiao Nan is a little lady who is alone, and there is not even an accompanying companion or guard by her side, This made her a little puzzled.
"Originally, a few people came together, but after entering the mountain from the fork in the road, they got separated, and after looking for a long time, they couldn't find anyone, so they thought about leading the horse in the mountains without looking for it, so they wanted to find a place to put the horses first, and at the same time I wanted to ask the people in your village if they had found my companion in the mountains." Xiao Nan smiled a little shyly and said.
"I see, the horse can be stored in this village, fifteen wen a day, we will write you a note, you can take the horse with the certificate of study, but you are a girl's house, I do not recommend that you go into the mountain alone, although there are no large beasts around, but seeing that only the hour is about to get dark, you are a girl's house, it is always not safe in the mountains." The woman sighed, first she said the conditions and cost of sending the horse, and then kindly reminded her.
"Thank you, auntie, I have practiced some kung fu with my father since I was a child, and the problem of self-protection is not big, the most important thing is that my younger brother who is not yet ten years old has been separated from me in the mountains and forests, if I don't find him as soon as possible, I am really uneasy." Xiao Nan glanced at the woman slightly apologetically, and said with some embarrassment.
"Hey, since it's like this, I won't stop you, I'll give you a pen and paper, you have two notes yourself, our village is called Yang Village, my husband is the Lizheng of this village, my surname is Liu, you write your name, and then write that I received a jujube red horse from you, I signed a name on it, and when you come to pick it up, even if I'm not there, anyone can pick up the horse from our family with a note, I hope you can find your companion and your brother as soon as possible." The woman sighed softly, and without further persuasion, she turned and went back into the house, and in a few moments came out with a pen and paper in her hand.
Xiao Nan took the pen, wrote down two words in a few strokes, and handed it to the woman, which read: Xiao's aunt sent a horse to the main family in Yang Village, as evidence.
"Ouch, the little lady writes so beautifully, she deserves to be a lady from a big family." The woman was obviously also literate, and when she saw Xiao Nan's note, she couldn't help but be amazed, but she didn't say too much, and quickly signed the note.
"Although the little lady has kung fu, but can not stay in the mountains for a long time, find your companion and brother as soon as possible, even if you don't find it, you have to come out before dark, today eighteen, the moon comes out late, the sky is just dark for more than an hour, nothing can be seen in the mountains, although your brother is young, but he is with your companions, it is better than you in the dark mountains, as for asking people, this will work in the mountains There are many people who have not come out, when you go in, you can ask when you meet people." The woman said as she pushed the signed note into Xiao Nan's hand.
"I know Auntie, thank you, by the way, Auntie, I just heard from you that your village is the closest to the mountain?" Xiao Nan asked casually.
"That's not it, whether you want to go to Song County or Ruyang County, you can cross our village in two ways." The woman was quite complacent, and seemed to be quite satisfied with the place she had in her village.
"I know, auntie, if I don't find anyone before dark, I will come to your house to spend the night, this is the deposit, I don't know how to put it for a few days, pay it for three days, if I come to stay tonight, the cost will be made up according to the normal standard of your village." Xiao Nan's heart moved when he heard this, and he said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
