Chapter 212: Strange Village
The next day, it was not until the third pole of the day that Yan Yiyun and Qi Ziyu found a place where they could dock, and after floating on the water for a day, they suddenly had a down-to-earth feeling, and they suddenly became a lot more stable, but the shore was a forest, and they didn't wait for anyone to pass by for a long time, so they didn't know where they were now.
Walk along the extension of the woods, will be set in the west mountain to see a village, there are not many houses, but there is finally a population, the two look at each other, both from each other's eyes to see the joy of comfort, can't help but walk a few steps, after entering the village, only to find that this is smaller than imagined, only a dozen or so households, under the sunset, there is cooking smoke rising, quite a bit poetic and picturesque.
However, after so much hard work, the two of them no longer cared about the scenery, and only thought about finding a place to have a good meal, preferably to take a shower and rest.
But I knocked on a few doors in a row, and I had to go to the chief's house to inquire, and after a few rounds of guidance, I found the village Lizheng, and simply explained the intention, and the other party was also a hospitable person, so I let the two live very happily, and Zhang Luo added vegetables to boil water.
Yan Yiyun and Qi Ziyu smiled and thanked them, "How are we going to get from here tomorrow?" It seems that there are no horses in this village or anything like that. ”
"In this kind of place, every household generally does not prepare carriages or horses, only donkey carts, or there is a little bit of a way to the county seat, so we will take the carriage that passes by, or buy the horse directly, and wait until the county seat to change it." Qi Ziyu was afraid that Yan Yiyun would not be used to it, so he hurriedly explained.
"It's okay, it's better to have a car than to walk, but is it okay...... How long will it take us to get there? Yan Yiyun didn't continue the words behind, and looked left and right at no one and asked.
"If you can find a suitable horse in the county, it will be about the same in five days, so it's okay." Qi Ziyu comforted, the door behind him knocked softly, and then the mother-in-law of the family came in with food to entertain them to eat and drink, Qi Ziyu suddenly stopped talking, and turned to talk to Li Zheng about the customs and customs here.
Yan Yiyun was bored to listen to, the mother-in-law there was also a country woman, with little knowledge, although she looked not young, but people who looked for food in the field all the year round always looked old, but her expression was extremely cramped and careful, and the two people who could see that they were dressed in a different temperament than ordinary couples, so they became more and more cautious to eat without saying a word, and Yan Yiyun naturally had no topic, she was not a person who talked much, and she only wanted to be hungry.
Occasionally raised his eyes to look at the woman, he felt that the other party was even more unnatural, so he simply turned his head to think about the next trip, and when he came back to his senses, the other three people on the table had finished eating, and the woman cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with her hands and feet, and did not dare to trouble Yan Yiyun at all.
"Country women have never seen the world, please don't be surprised." Li Zheng glanced at his mother-in-law helplessly, and turned his head to Qi Ziyu.
"You're polite, we bothered you first, and we've already caused you a lot of trouble." Qi Ziyu shook his head politely, and Yan Yiyun also smiled, but didn't say much.
"You two are distinguished guests, we don't dare to wait slowly, it's not early now, the two of you should rest early, we are very quiet here, but it's best not to come out easily at night, especially the women's ......" Li Zheng was about to speak and stopped, turned his head to look out, and told again, "Rest early in the evening, no matter what happens, don't come out." ”
"What does this mean? Could it be that there will be some monsters eating people here at night? Qi Ziyu quipped, but Li Zheng's face turned white immediately.
"Don't talk nonsense! What a monster! Oops, woe comes from the mouth! Childe, don't talk about it, I'll go out first, you can rest quickly. Li Zheng turned around and left in a little panic, as if someone was chasing behind him, and he didn't look back, causing Qi Ziyu and Yan Yiyun to look at each other behind him.
"What's going on? Is there really a monster? ”
"It seems that this seemingly quiet and peaceful small village is a little strange, but it doesn't have much to do with our trip, let's rest early, and we have to hurry tomorrow!" Qi Ziyu didn't pay too much attention to it, he was under the emperor's order, the purpose was to investigate the case of abduction and trafficking of girls in the disaster-stricken area, and now that the time has been delayed, there can be no more accidents.
"Also, I thought it was good here, if it could come as a place to retreat in the future, it would be good, I don't want it to be peaceful here, I think there may be some bandits or flower thieves and the like, so it causes such people to panic, if we can pass by here when we come back from doing things, it is better to get rid of it together! It's a good thing, too! ”
"Okay, listen to you, we'll do what you say!" Qi Ziyu nodded without hesitation.
"Why don't you have any opinions, listen to me for everything, how about selling you? I see that it is rare to see such a handsome son as you here, if there is a woman of the right age to recruit a son-in-law, and sell you here, the other party must be extremely happy! ”
"You have a lot of ideas, sell me, you will be widowed in the future!" Qi Ziyu was teased by her, and was so angry that he reached out to knock on Yan Yiyun's head, but she flexibly avoided it.
"What about widowhood, but your family business has become mine! I'm afraid you'll have to come back to me even if you turn into a ghost! You can't hide from the left and right. Yan Yiyun tidied up the cover by herself, since she came here, she has Biliu and Su Rui to take care of her every day, and she doesn't need to do anything by herself, this time they naturally can't follow, and suddenly they are a little rusty and unfamiliar with the most ordinary work.
"I don't need to turn into a ghost, I can't leave you now!"
"Begin to talk sweetly again, who will believe your words!" Yan Yiyun turned his head and ignored it, but there was a smile on his face, but he suddenly stiffened, and looked at Qi Ziyu suddenly, who also restrained his playful expression and frowned slightly.
"Did you hear that, too?" After a while, the surroundings returned to tranquility, and Yan Yiyun asked quietly, as if he was frightened by the voice just now, for fear that he would be alarmed again.
"Yes, but I didn't hear what it was, not like some beast, but like the screams of people when they were about to collapse."
Although the voice is not very obvious, their martial arts can naturally be heard, but Yan Yiyun is still unknown, Qi Ziyu has already judged the approximate sound, this may be an instinctive reaction that has been trained all year round, and when facing something unknown to him, he must quickly distinguish the attributes of that thing, whether it is beneficial or harmful.
"Ahh Another shout, Yan Yiyun felt that his hairs were standing up, and his back was cold, where was this like a human voice, if it was a human (to be continued. )
