Wang Shouming nodded, glanced at the official, and gestured to the people who were drying salt, "Are these the salt from these times?" ”

The official's face was full of flattery, "Yes, there are still some in the warehouse, just waiting for the adults to count them." ”

"Okay, let's take the salt to the county mansion in two days." After Wang Shouming finished speaking, he also felt that there was nothing to see here, so he wanted to take Wang Yuan back. ”

Wang Yuan was still a little stunned, "This is leaving?" Aren't we here to count? ”

Wang Shouming said: "Otherwise? Do I still count the salt on the ground one by one? Just wait for them to send it to the house to see. ”

Only then did Wang Yuan react, "Oh, what are we doing here?" ”

The corners of Wang Shouming's mouth hooked up a smile, "Come and see people." ”

Wang Yuan was puzzled: "Look at people? Look at whom? ”

A dark look flashed in Wang Shouming's eyes, "Look at the official in charge of drying salt." ”

Wang Yuan glanced at the big-shouldered and round-waisted official, and didn't find anything wrong.

Wang Shouming sighed, "You usually only know how to read to death, and you don't know anything else." ”

Wang Yuan was a little unconvinced by Wang Shouming's words, but he also knew that what he said was the truth, so he didn't refute him, but just continued to look at him and wanted to hear him say why.

Wang Shouming continued: "Look at the clothes worn by that official, do you know what kind of fabric it is? ”

Wang Yuan paid attention to the official again, and found that although the official was only a small civil official in Liuzhou, the fabric of the clothes on his body was much better than what he was wearing, so he felt that something was wrong, "Why is he dressed so well?" ”

"It's not just that he is well dressed, but the material on his body is Shu brocade, this is the material that is paid tribute to the palace, do you know how he has it? Moreover, the jade pendant hanging on his body, the crown with his hair tied on his head, and even the embroidery embroidered on his clothes are all good things, and I am afraid that the entire Liuzhou City will not be able to find them. ”

Wang Yuan was shocked, "Why is he so rich as a petty official?" ”

Wang Shouming sneered, "There is so much salt in the sun, who would know if he just stole so little?" Or take a little more and sell it at a low price to officials who have channels in other places, and those officials can sell it at a high price, wouldn't they be able to make a lot of money? And it will get the stammering of those officials. ”

Seeing that Wang Yuan was still so surprised, Wang Shouming continued, "This is not the only way for the prime minister to come from, just a casual investigation can involve so many discrepancies, it can be seen that today's imperial court, headed by the prime minister, how corrupt these officials from all over the world should be in private!" ”

Wang Yuan was a little speechless for a while, he thought of the dilapidated house that he couldn't clean up when he saw the guest rooms, and the people who begged on the street and robbed.

Wang Shouming continued: "Now that Cheng is quite powerful, many things are related to his interests, we can't startle the snake, in addition to the prime minister in the future, if you have the intention of helping the world and saving the people, you can show your skills, but now, it is a noble word." ”

Wang Yuan listened, and then he understood Wang Shouming's hard work, and he nodded emphatically.

Wang Shouming took Wang Yuan back to the mansion.

At this time, Yun Sha and the others arrived at the valley again, and this time they all smeared anti-Gu medicine on their necks in advance, so when they came in, they saw the real desolate scene in the valley.

Yun Sha looked at the scene around him and wondered in his heart, "Why doesn't it look like someone here?" ”

Jiang Yanyue said: "Let's look for it, maybe the high priest is different from ordinary people." ”

A few people searched the vicinity, but they searched all the caves nearby, not to mention people, even animals, only the black fish in the cold pool jumped out of the water from time to time in order to attract their attention.

The more I looked for Yunsha, the more I felt that it was impossible, "Could we be wrong?" Maybe the High Priest is no longer in the Cold Moon Country at all, but in other warm countries? Live to say that Yangyang's father remembered it wrong? ”

When Yang Yang heard this, he immediately retorted: "That's not right! The High Priest must be in the Cold Moon Country, and Daddy must be not mistaken. ”

A few people continued to search, but when they were all exhausted and turned pale from the cold, there was still no trace of the high priest.

Jiang Yanyue was a little worried about Jiang Yuebai, "Yuebai, are you okay?" ”

Jiang Yuebai nodded, "It's okay." Seeing that everyone was a little discouraged, he wanted to liven up the atmosphere, "I miss the feeling of being in the Gu when I entered the valley that day, and now I understand how happy the illusion of warmth was at that time." ”

Hearing this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in her mind, and she called out to everyone, "I think, the warm place that Yangyang's father said could be an illusion?" Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Yun Sha continued: "I mean, could it be that the high priest is also in a fantasy realm, and we can't actually see her in reality?" ”

Jiang Yuebai was still a little puzzled, "It's just that how could the high priest be in the illusion?" ”

Jiang Yanyue said: "No matter, let's go to the illusion realm and take a look." ”

A few of them wiped off the medicine on their necks, and entered the valley from outside the valley again, and this time they really felt warm all over them, as if they were in spring.

Yang Yang saw the birds chirping in the sky, and said excitedly: "The high priest is in this kind of place!" ”

Several people were afraid that something would happen in the illusion this time, so they walked forward together.

After passing through the cold pool where Jiang Yanyue fished, it really became a cold pool, and several people walked carefully around this hot spring this time.

After walking for a while, they suddenly saw a sea of pink flowers in front of them, and a small wooden house looming behind the sea of flowers.

And these are things that they have not seen in reality.

Several people watched the monotonous and desolate snow scene for a few days, and suddenly saw a sea of flowers at this time, and they were all a little amazed by this place.

Even though they knew that these were all in the fantasy world, several people were still deeply fascinated by this place.

If you look closely, there are even bees on the flowers collecting honey, which makes people instantly think of the sweet taste of honey.

A few people walked through the sea of flowers, and found a small wooden house standing quietly under a towering ancient tree.

A fox and a rabbit frolicked in the doorway of the hut.

Jiang Yuebai looked at it and exclaimed, "Those two seem to be big gray and little white, but they are a little smaller." ”

If you look closely, the fox and the rabbit do look very similar to Big Gray and Little White, and they are also different pupils, and at this time it seems that they saw someone coming, and they no longer frolicked, but called at them.

Xiaobai in Yangyang's arms seemed to not see the fox that looked quite similar to himself, and he was still lying quietly on Yangyang's body.

The people in the room probably heard the noise outside, pushed open the door and walked out.

This look made the people outside the house a little shocked.

But I saw that the person was not wearing the kind of clothes of Leng Yueguo, but it was like the clothes that women in the capital were used to wearing, and it was not very luxurious, but it looked very comfortable, and the faint apricot color made the woman look very beautiful.

The woman's appearance didn't look very amazing, but it was faint, like a small jasper, and she was a very gentle woman at first glance.

The woman looked at them with surprise in her eyes and asked, "Who are you, and how did you come here?" "The voice is also soft, and it sounds like a spring breeze.

Before they could answer, the woman saw Yang Yang and Xiao Bai in his arms, she was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did she stammer, "Yang Yang? You, how did you come here? ”

Yang Yang was also a little surprised why she recognized herself, "I'm Yang Yang, we're here to find the high priest, who are you?" ”

When the woman heard this, her expression suddenly turned cold, "How do you know that the high priest is here?" ”

Yang Yang replied: "Daddy told me!" ”

The woman looked at Xiang Yangyang, and the expression on her face became very tangled again, as if she was reluctant, and as if she was involved in many other emotions, "Is your father okay now?" How did he know I was here? He, is he coming? As he spoke, he glanced around their faces again, as if he hadn't found the person he was looking for, and his eyes were a little downcast.

Yang Yang thought of his father, his eyes turned red, "Daddy was killed by a bad guy......"

The expression on the woman's face changed drastically, and she stepped forward to hold Yang Yang's shoulder, and there seemed to be tears flashing in her eyes, "What? How did your daddy die? ”

Yang Yang cried, and the woman's tears couldn't stop falling, Yun Sha hurriedly stepped forward, handed Yang Yang to Jiang Yuebai, and gently wiped the woman's tears.

After a while, the woman calmed down, exhaled a long breath, and asked, "Can you tell me what happened to Yangyang's father?" ”

Yun Sha slowly told the woman what they knew, The woman listened, her hands clenched into fists, her eyes full of anger, "He is so good, how dare that brute!" ”

Cen Zhaohou said: "That person is heinous, and we hate that person very much, if we have the opportunity, we will definitely kill him!" ”

Yun Sha looked into the woman's eyes again and asked, "Can the girl tell us what you have to do with Yangyang's father?" ”

The woman sighed, "Yangyang is the child I born. ”

The others all looked surprised, and the woman continued: "As you can guess, I am the high priest of the Cold Moon Country, and ten years ago, because I felt that it was too boring outside, I hid in the corpse cave of this Boundless Valley, and only there can give me peace in my heart. ”

"Every few days, Yangyang's father would rush the corpse to the corpse cave. At first I saw him coming, and he pretended to be dead on the ground, until one day, when he accidentally touched me when he put the body on the ground, he found that I was a living person. He was also very happy, he was a lively person, so lively that he was incompatible with this Cold Moon Country. ”

At first, he thought that I had come to the cave to find my death, so he kept talking to me, for fear that I would not be able to think about it. He also told me that in this world, in addition to the cold and freezing, there are grass warblers flying, lotus leaf fields, and autumn is cool, and he told me that there are other places in this world except for the cold moon country, and those places are different in all seasons. ”

"People are wearing brightly colored clothes, they don't see each other wearing veils, they don't have Gu worms on them, and they all greet each other with smiles. You may think this may seem strange to you, but in my opinion, this is where I aspire. ”
