Chapter 27: Return to the capital

These people's voices are pure. Holding a Beijing accent, but it's a little weird.

Bai Jiaojiao was also a little scared, and held Qingfeng's arm tightly. Very nervous. Obviously, men are more likely to receive attention, why did these people stop her, and there was a trace of confusion in her heart.

Bai Jiaojiao took a deep breath, poked her head out from behind the breeze, stabilized her mind, and said in a steady tone.

"What's the matter with you?"

The man spoke again, "Little girl, is this the road to Qinghe Village?" ”

Bai Jiaojiao was surprised that they actually went to Qinghe Village.

But he nodded. Qingfeng looked at the group of people with a wary face.

The man asked again, "Is there a place called Meiwu Mountain in Qinghe Village?" ”

When Qingfeng heard that they were going to Meiwu Mountain, his face was a little anxious and he asked, "Are you going to Meiwu Mountain?" ”

The man smiled and said, "Yes, we are here to collect medicines, I heard that there are many precious medicinal materials on this Meiwu Mountain, I want to see if there is any luck, and find some rare medicinal materials." ”

As long as it is not a person sent by the official family, there will be many formations on Meiwu Mountain, and no one will go up to look for death.

So that's the case, Bai Jiaojiao sighed instantly, and the breeze relaxed significantly, and then said to them, "We're also going to Meiwu Mountain, or you can go with us." ”

Bai Jiaojiao tugged at Qingfeng's cuffs and didn't let him continue. It would be a pity to look at these people who really don't look like bad people, and it would be a pity if they died on that mountain. But on that mountain, don't say that they are looking for medicinal materials, they still have to make some money by pointing to these, not to mention, Bai Jiaojiao knows very well in her heart that these people will go in vain, and Li Jingcheng will not let them go up, let alone look for medicinal materials all over the mountains.

The man's face was obviously stunned, and he said with a smile: "We are just resting a little today, and we may have to stay at the villager's house, rest and recuperate, and then go up the mountain." ”

Bai Jiaojiao saw their obvious refusal, and felt even more suspicious.

The man thanked him politely, took out an oiled paper bag from the back basket and stuffed it into Bai Jiaojiao's hand. took the seven or eight people to Qinghe Village.

Bai Jiaojiao and Qingfeng, opened the oil paper bag in their hands, it was a roast pork, now it is good to be able to eat a full meal in this world, pork is even more rare, but they carry pork with them, and eat it as dry food, Bai Jiaojiao was a little surprised, this group of people is either rich or expensive.

Now Bai Jiaojiao heard that outsiders were also going to Meiwu Mountain, and she wanted to go up the mountain today, but she was in no mood. She wanted to know more about the purpose of those people coming here, it was definitely not as simple as collecting medicine.

"Brother, let's go back today, don't go up the mountain first, let's go home and ask the people in the village, and ask what those people are here for, I always feel that it is not as simple as a medicine business." Bai Jiaojiao said that she was about to go back.

Qingfeng heard Bai Jiaojiao say this, and nodded: "I think it makes sense, it's okay not to go up the mountain today, and the weather is not very good, as if there is going to be a rainstorm at any time." ”

The black pressure is dull, and there is some stuffiness.

"Alright, let's go back today." The breeze pulled Bai Jiaojiao and was about to go back, but she turned her head and saw a pear tree not far away, which was yellow and seemed to bear those fruits.

Because the weather in the south is warmer earlier, the fruit ripens faster, and although it is now April, there are some early pears.

Bai Jiaojiao was also a little surprised when she saw the pear tree, but she walked towards the tree as briskly as the breeze.

"This is really good, Dad wants to drink Chinese medicine for half a year, and there is not even a thing to suppress the taste in his mouth, take these pears back, just enough to suppress the taste, and we can also make some sugar water to defeat the fire."

Bai Jiaojiao said happily, and was about to climb up the tree.

"Why are you still climbing trees from a girl's family? Just let me do it. Saying this, the breeze pulled Bai Jiaojiao down.

Bai Jiaojiao thinks about it, now she doesn't have two clothes, they are all worn for three years to make up for three years, and sewing and mending for another three years, and now this dress is new for the New Year, or the old clothes of the Tang family are changed and worn over, but they can't be worn out.

Bai Jiaojiao stopped thinking about climbing the tree.

Qingfeng climbed up the tree, looking very relaxed, Bai Jiaojiao looked at Qingfeng with some surprise, yes, he has learned some self-defense with Dong Mingxuan since he was a child, this tree is not so tall, it may be a piece of cake for him.

When Qingfeng found a branch that he could step on safely, he looked at Bai Jiaojiao on the ground and said loudly: "Yiyi, I will throw these pears down, you take it carefully." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and picked the nearest pear to him, and threw it at Bai Jiaojiao, Bai Jiaojiao was a little scared and wanted to dodge, but she was afraid that she would break it if she threw it on the ground.

Bai Jiaojiao found that it was not so terrifying, and gradually became proficient and could quickly catch the fruit thrown from the tree. It's getting interesting.

"Brother, don't pick it up. The basket is full, you pick the pears that are easy to reach, and we'll come back tomorrow. Bai Jiaojiao said to Qingfeng.

To tell the truth, this tree is not hidden, if it weren't for the people in the village who were busy planting in the spring these days, it would definitely have been picked by the children in the village. Although I want to keep it for myself, I still have to leave some for others to keep a line, and I have picked a lot of it today.

Qingfeng heard Bai Jiaojiao say this, looked down at the full back basket on the ground, it was already sharp, there was nothing to put these wild pears, it was not too late to come again tomorrow.

The breeze jumped quickly from under the tree, and this height was just a piece of cake for him, and there was nothing to fear.

The two of them went home slowly, happily hugging the back basket tightly like a few treasures.

"Mother, we came back and saw a pear tree at the entrance of the village, so we picked some wild pears and came over." Qingfeng ran home in surprise.

Tang was also a little surprised to see Qingfeng carrying a basket of wild pears in front of her, where did the wild fruits come from in this April day now?

I reached out and took one, wiped it with my apron, and then raised my head and took a bite, which was sour and sweet.

But he said with some surprise: "It's really a pear, and now on this April day, I didn't expect to be able to grow wild pears." ”

The breeze is not unusual, and it used to be an April day, and some wild pears and wild fruits grow, so I don't think there is anything unusual.

However, Bai Jiaojiao and the Tang clan came from the north, so they naturally didn't understand the temperature in the south.

Seeing this, and thinking of those outsiders today, Bai Jiaojiao walked over to Dong Mingxuan's house.

"Dad, a few outsiders came to the village today, saying that they were pharmacists and wanted to go to Nameiwu Mountain to collect medicine." Bai Jiaojiao walked in front of Dong Mingxuan and said seriously.

Dong Mingxuan was still wearing the washed and somewhat whitish old robe, holding a book in his hand and looking at it carefully.

Hearing Bai Jiaojiao say this, she raised her head, her eyes a little frightened.

He wondered if someone from the official family had come over?

When Dong Mingxuan heard this, he suddenly dropped the book in his hand on his lap, a little out of shape, but hurriedly asked, "Can you see what those people look like?" They all asked, what did you say? ”

"I didn't say anything, I just asked if our village was Qinghe Village? Then ask if Mount Meu is around here? The tone sounded soothing, and it didn't look very urgent. Bai Jiaojiao was a little surprised when she saw Dong Mingxuan behaving like this, how could people from outside come to this village and it was not a very special thing for them, how could they be so surprised?

"Okay, I see." Dong Mingxuan silently retracted his emotions, and then said to Bai Jiaojiao, "You guys don't go out anymore these days." ”

"Dad, what's going on? Is there anything wrong with those people? Those people don't look like bad people. Bai Jiaojiao asked with some questions.

Dong Mingxuan thought about how to explain it clearly, but he couldn't tell Qingfeng's life experience directly.

Silence aside.

"In short, don't go up the mountain these days, don't have any more contact with those people, just stay at home." Dong Mingshan said emphatically.

"Dad, I think we can take those people up the mountain and ask them to give them some money to guide the way." Bai Jiaojiao said.

She thought it was a good way, they lived around here, and the mountain they went to often, if they took it up. It's easy and simple, and you can make money.

"Yiyi, you are obedient, some people just look so gentle and gentle on the surface, but you don't know what they are from, and the mountain is not very peaceful recently, these outsiders must not simply want to find medicinal herbs." Dong Mingxuan could only emphasize that he was a little weak, and his tone was a little anxious, but Bai Jiaojiao didn't care.

On the contrary, I really don't want Bai Jiaojiao and Qingfeng to have contact with those people?

Bai Jiaojiao looked up at Dong Mingxuan with some confusion, she really wanted to know what Dong Mingxuan thought if he was so strongly opposed? Who is going to have trouble with money? Besides, she will only take those people to the bottom of the Meiwu Mountain, and will not take them to the Meiwu Mountain.

Now Li Jingcheng doesn't know where he is?

Thinking of Li Jingcheng, Bai Jiaojiao's mind became erratic again, and she didn't know where that person went, and she didn't see that person last time she went to the mountains, and it seemed that she had broken off contact, she only knew his name, and she didn't know what kind of identity and background he was. Bai Jiaojiao thought that when she saw him next time, she must ask him carefully.

"Yiyi, you go and call Qingfeng over, I have something to talk to him." Dong Mingxuan saw that Bai Jiaojiao was distracted, and after thinking about it, it was still more effective for Qingfeng to emphasize this matter.

After all, those people won't suspect anything when they see Bai Jiaojiao, but Qingfeng's appearance now looks more and more like the first emperor, although the momentum is a little less.

"By the way, Dad, I don't know why you're so opposed to seeing those people? But there is one thing I still have to say, listening to the accents of those people seems to be pure Beijing accents, they may be from the capital, but they really don't look like people sent by the government. He looks very decent, too. Bai Jiaojiao looked at Dong Mingxuan with some pickiness and said.

When Dong Mingxuan heard Bai Jiaojiao say this, his eyes instantly contracted, and his hands that were obviously shocked in his heart couldn't stop trembling, he wasn't afraid, but he was just shocked, Bai Jiaojiao was also so smart.

He hopes that Qingfeng can live a peaceful life, if Qingfeng returns to that place, he may be entangled in the center of power for the rest of his life, Qingfeng has become accustomed to this rural life. There is no conspiracy, no intertwining of power and interests, and there is no longer the wolf nature of being a superior.

He will only be treated like a puppet when he returns. It will only bring another war to this country, or the current official family will directly send someone to wipe him out and prevent him from appearing in this world.

Dong Mingxuan saw Bai Jiaojiao so hurriedly said, "Yiyi, you may have misunderstood, I'm not afraid, it's just that we are used to it in this village, and I will be frightened once there are outsiders, after all, you also know that this small village has nothing to attract attention from outsiders?" ”
