Chapter 112: A Strange Village
Biyan and his party have been away from the capital for five days.
The carriage swayed along the mountain path, and in the past few days, Dumb has inadvertently shown a special skill, that is, medical skills.
When staying at the guest house, Shen Kuan and Bai Zi didn't know why they kept having diarrhea.
Originally, Shen Zhang planned to ask for a doctor, but he was cured by Dumb at will.
When blurting out the cause and the target, Dumb felt that these things seemed to be born with him.
Bai Zi and Shen Kuan, because of this incident, admired Dumb as a guard. I don't treat Dumb as an ordinary guard at all.
Shen Zhang became more vigilant about Dumb's identity in his heart, and the more things he would have, the greater the proof would be.
Only Biyan, Moziyi and the fox are the most calm.
Biyan thinks that Dumb is Li Xin'er's apprentice, and it is normal to know this, while Mo Ziyi thinks that Dumb is an immortal, so he will not be surprised by anything. And the fox is fully aware of all the details of Dumb.
That's right, Biyan finally agreed, and the fox followed. Of course, Mo Ziyi's contribution is indispensable.
Mo Ziyi is also selfish.
Not to mention that the fox knows the identity of Dumb, with the fox following, their safety is more reported.
Is there anyone else in the world who can hurt them under the protection of the dignified demon king, that is simply a joke.
The carriage in which Biyan and the others sat was specially modified, and the carriage was very spacious inside, with a fixed small table in the middle.
Bi Yan and Bai Zi are on one side, and Shen Zhang is on the other.
The fox nested right under the table. Mo Ziyi stayed wherever he was happy, Shen Kuan was the coachman, and Dumb followed on horseback.
It seems that there are few people, but it is not simple.
The carriage stopped abruptly as it walked.
Shen Kuan's voice came in from outside the car.
"Master, it's getting dark, we can't get to the inn, or we won't be able to stay in the nearby village for one night."
Shen Zhang looked at Biyan in the car, and when he saw that Biyan had no objection, he agreed.
Dumb asked himself: "It's better for me to explore the way first, you are all waiting here." ”
Shen Kuan pulled the carriage aside. Biyan and the others all came down, and Dumb walked to the high ground on the side, looked around, and then left.
"Miss. Let's take a sip of water. Bai Zi took out the water bladder and handed it to his young lady.
Shen Kuan also took out something from the package and handed it to Shen Zhang.
Everyone waited for a long time, and Dumb came back.
"How's it going, did you find it?" Shen Zhang asked. It wouldn't be nice if there wasn't a village around here.
Dumb nodded and said, "Found it, it's not far to the west." ”
Following the branching path, the group headed west.
Sure enough, I didn't go far before a small village with smoke rising from the smoke came into view.
The children playing at the entrance of the village saw a carriage coming, and they were very curious onlookers, and some children ran in to call someone.
The carriage traveled to the entrance of the village, and as soon as Biyan and the others came, people came out of the village.
An old man who was over the age of sixteen walked out with a dozen adults behind him.
Meet Biyan and them. Some were wary: "Where are you from, and what are you doing in our village?" ”
Shen Zhang stepped forward and arched his hand, and said: "The old man took his granddaughter and servants to visit relatives in the distance, and saw that it was too late to reach the inn, so he had to look for it nearby, and then came to the village, and hoped that the old man could take us in and let us stay for a while, we will not live in vain." After speaking, he motioned to Shen Kuan.
Shen Kuan immediately took out a piece of silver from his body.
Some people may say, isn't Shen Zhang afraid that the people in this village have bad intentions?
Shen Zhang is not a person who has never seen the world, he has traveled all over the country with Shen Kuan over the years, and he has never seen anyone. As soon as he saw the old man's heart, he let go.
The people of this village are all good people, and as for the old man's vigilance against them, it is also human nature.
The old man looked at the silver that Shen Kuan had escaped, glanced at Shen Zhang and the others, groaned for a while, and agreed.
"That's good. Come with me. Then he let those who followed him disperse.
It's just that he and a middle-aged man took Shen Zhang with them.
Along the way, many villagers looked curiously, and the old man took them directly to the door of the most imposing house in the village, and then stopped.
Turning to Shen Zhang, he said, "This is my home, I am the head of this village, you can live in my house today." ”
"Then thank you."
Li Zheng pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
"Old woman, there's a guest coming, hurry up and make something to eat."
Hearing the sound, a tough old woman came out.
"Where are you a guest?"
Shen Zhang stepped forward and said with a smile: "We are from the capital, I am sorry for you."
"No trouble, no trouble, come into the house and sit down, I'll give you something to eat." The old woman was very welcoming.
"Oh, this girl is so handsome." Suddenly seeing Biyan behind Shen Zhang, the old woman couldn't help but praise.
"Hello mother-in-law." Biyan said hello softly.
"Okay, let's all come in."
Biyan and the others were taken into the main room in the middle. Li was sitting with him, and the old woman went to cook.
The middle-aged man, who was supposed to be Rizheng's son, just followed them to the door and left.
While Biyan was waiting, Shen Zhang chatted with Li Zheng about some customs and customs. During this period, Biyan also observed Lizheng's home.
In addition to the three rooms in the main hall, there are also two wings in the courtyard, and I don't know which room the middle-aged man just now, Li Zheng's son lives in, and I don't know which room they live in tonight.
While a few people were talking, the door of the courtyard outside was pushed open. The door of the main house was not closed, and Bi Yan could see in the house that it was Li Zheng's son who came in this time, as well as a young man, a woman, and a child.
It looks like Lizheng's grandson, granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson.
"Daddy, we're back from the field." The middle-aged man shouted.
"Got it, your mother is almost ready to eat, hurry up and wash up and get ready to eat."
"Hey."
At the dinner table, because Biyan was a guest, they sat at the same table with Li Zheng, while Li Zheng's granddaughter-in-law, grandson, Bai Zi, and Shen Kuan sat at the same table.
The rice is very simple, just two fried ingredients, a plate of pickles, a meat dish, a bowl of soup, and steamed buns.
At the dinner table, everyone was eating quietly, Shen Zhang and they were tired from riding in the carriage all the way, and after eating, they were taken to the West Wing by Li Zheng's granddaughter-in-law to rest.
Biyan and Bai Zi are in one room, and Shen Zhang, Shen Kuan and Dumb are in one room.
"The quilts are all freshly made, if the girl needs anything, tell me." Li Zheng's granddaughter-in-law said to Bi Yan.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I know everything, what will call you, go and rest."
"Hey, I'll go first." Li Zheng's granddaughter-in-law smiled innocently, closed the door and left. (To be continued.) )
