Master of the Five Elements Gate (7)

The people were busy moving to avoid the military disaster, and there were also lonely old people or frail children who were left behind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIt's a huge Xiliu village, and there are only a few houses with people.

Jin Huang is in one of the rooms, and it is strictly forbidden for people without tokens to enter and exit during this period of time, and there are only a few people with tokens, and it is not possible to take tokens alone. This time, the task is none other than Xiao Yanran, the golden lock guard. If the people of Pingxia in the Northern Dynasty wanted to kill him, it would be easy to understand, but this client was a high-ranking official with great power in the Southern Dynasty.

It's useless to think too much, if you are always entangled in these problems as a killer, sooner or later you will lose your heart and go crazy.

Xiliu Village is located outside the pass, including the Xiliu Mountain and the Xiliu River, a hundred miles of the area, belongs to the buffer zone between the forces of the countries, and now it has become a thin rope between the warring sides, and when the balance of power can still maintain the calm on the surface, I don't know when, this rope is broken, and the two sides will meet each other.

Every day, people always come to probe their brains, survey the terrain, dig pits or build dams, and there are also cases where they are driven away by another group of people in the middle of the fortification. The pit at the entrance of the village was dug and dug up, and a road was broken and broken. The bridge that had just been erected was demolished again, and a few days later the bridge demolition man dug a tunnel in the same place. The whole village was dusty, and although it was sunny, there was no blue sky, and the white and miserable sun hung on the yellow sky, which gave it a sense of desolation.

In order to avoid ostentation, Jin Huang was already dressed in an earthy yellow coarse cloth dress, with his hair folded and his hair curled, and he painted on his face finely, except that his accent was different from that of the locals, and he was no different from an ordinary peasant woman. This time she was not alone, there was also Xue Lie in the companions. The two pretend to be husband and wife, waiting for an opportunity to act. Jin Huang's understanding of Xue Lie is very limited, and the only time he interacted was when he was a fledgling at the beginning of the year, asking him to repair the task list that was crushed by himself. The biggest ability is to imitate other people's handwriting, engrave fake seals, make fake tokens, etc., if Jin Huang once thought that he was powerful in martial arts, then these years of Yunjian Pavilion career have made Jin Huang far surpass Xue Lie in this regard.

The hall sent him, probably to spread some news, this is Xue Lie's scope of responsibility, Jin Huang doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know. Knowing too much is a burden for others. Every day is like an ordinary farmer, spinning and weaving cloth during the day, chopping firewood and farming, and at night Jin Huang goes to close the door to investigate, Xue Lie is in the house to pen, ink, paper, inkstone, printing stone carving knife I don't know what to do.

At dusk that day, another group of people came to the village, dressed as ordinary merchants, and when they saw that many houses were empty and empty, and the doors were bolted with a branch, they lived in a house.

It would be a fool to believe that they were merchants, and at this moment, the news of the imminent war was known far and wide, and those who were still merchants were either idiots or had other plans. While Jin Huang was squatting by the well to wash clothes, one of them leaned over and asked her about Jin Suoguan. Jin Huang knew that he would reveal his stuffing when he opened his mouth, so he pretended to be dumb, opened his mouth and made an ah-ah sound, and told him: "The pass has been sealed, and no one will let it." The man took out another silver ticket and told Jin Huang: "You cook for us these days and give you money." Jin Huang looked at the silver ticket with a blank face, and gestured to indicate that the paper could not be exchanged for food.

His companion came up to him and asked, "Who is this old woman?" The man said, "The one who lives in the village is a dumb man, and he doesn't even know the silver bills. Give her some and ask her to cook for us. The companion touched it for a long time, and found half an ingot of silver, Jin Huang took it in his hand, looked left and right, and put it in his mouth to bite it, and then he was satisfied with the silver in his arms.

Jin Huang returned to the house, hummed a small tune and turned on the oil lamp, Xue Lie turned his gaze from the household items spread out on the table to her: "It's rare to see you so happy, what happened?" Jin Huang took out the half ingot of silver from his arms, shook it at Xue Lie, and said with a smile: "Someone gave me silver for nothing, it's not a great joy." ā€

"Hey, what do you think it is, at most two taels of silver, happy to be like this, anyway, you are also the chief of the Cloud Pavilion, why are your eyelids so shallow?"

Jin Huang put the silver away: "The more the silver, the better, and I'm afraid that it won't bite your hand." ā€

"Okay, who gave you the silver for nothing?"

"Those merchants who came over today gave me money to help me cook." Jin Huang looked at the ceiling, "I'll cook some porridge tomorrow and send it over." ā€

"You don't really think they're ordinary merchants, do you?"

"Am I so stupid in your heart? Who knows what they're going to do, just don't get in our way. ā€

"Where's the rice?"

"Didn't you find half a bag of moldy rice last time, and a little sand mixed in it is enough for these people to eat."

Xue Lie sighed helplessly: "What kind of sin did these people do to meet you?" ā€

"This is a mess, and it is only when the chicken, duck and fish meat are brought out that it arouses suspicion."

The next day, when Jin Huang was setting up a cauldron outside the door to prepare for cooking, the person from yesterday appeared behind her like a ghost: "We should have more rice we brought, and you can also eat some for the elderly." "Jin Huang pretended to be struggling to pour a bag of rice into the basin, touched it with his hand, and felt very oily, and looked carefully, two different rice grains should be glutinous rice and indica rice mixed together." It's quite exquisite. She snorted coldly.

"You took other people's money and other people's rice, be careful that they come back to you to settle accounts." Xue Lie looked at the shiny white rice in the bowl, which was completely different from what he had eaten before.

"People tell me to take it, and if I don't take it, I won't take it for nothing." Jin Huang took a deep breath, and the aroma of rice filled the room. "These people should have come from the Xiangchuan area, and this rice is unique there."

Xue Lie chewed a mouthful of rice: "You are really knowledgeable, you can even see this." ā€

"It's nothing, just eat a few more places and you'll know."

Xue Lie was silent and continued to chew the rice, and the two big words "foodie" seemed to be engraved on Jin Huang's head.
