Chapter Ninety-Nine: Quiet
When she was about to go to bed at night, Zhang Ajiao rubbed to Mu Yunqi's side again and asked, "Princess, save the little one, where did you hide the money?" ”
Mu Yunqi looked left and right, and saw that no one else was sticking to her and said, "There is a hot spring in the cave where I am guarded, and the money is for me to wrap up and hide under the hot spring, so you can take them directly to get it, okay?" I don't want to go back to that place. ”
"Good! Good! Nature is good! ”
"You have to be careful with the poisonous spiders in the cave, you know?"
Zhang Ajiao nodded patronically, and Mu Yunqi didn't know if she listened or not.
The next morning, before anyone got up, the gong was sounded, and everyone got up and went outside, only to see not the guard, but one of the women.
When the man saw Mu Yun get up, he hurriedly ran over and knelt down and cried: "Help, save them, they can't do it." ”
"What's going on?" Mu Yunqi also asked anxiously, could it be that the group of guys still fell in love with the spider.
At this time, the guards also rushed over, and the men were also awakened. Ran over and asked, "What's wrong, it's so early." ”
At this time, seeing smoke rising from the mountain from a distance, Mu Yun's eyelids jumped, and he scolded secretly: "This group of fools is doing good things to me." ”
When the group arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw the group of people supporting each other and walking down, their lips turned purple, and Mu Yunqi saw that he was helpless.
Zhang Ajiao saw Mu Yunqi throw away the person who was supporting her, ran over, grabbed Mu Yunqi's collar and said, "You want to kill us, that cave is full of poisonous spiders." ”
Mu Yunqi held her hand, which was already completely black, "I said that there are poisonous spiders in the cave, I told you to be careful, didn't you hear?" ”
The head of the guard came over and grabbed the man's hand and shook it in disgust, then glared at Mu Yunqi's eyes and said, "Shouldn't the princess tell me what happened to this group of people?" ”
Mu Yunqi turned his face to look at the man and said, "I had a money bag when I came, and there was a lot of money in it, you know this. ”
"You know, how? Say it happily! ”
"They have been beating my money bag, and I was locked up in a cave a few days ago, and the guards advised me to go to the cave."
The man glanced at the cave guard, who cowered his neck in terror.
Mu Yunqi continued: "I went in. Found a nice spa where I hid my money. ”
Then Mu Yunqi pointed to the dying and struggling people on the ground and said: "A few of them saw me come out and asked me for money bags, so I told them the truth, and I also told them that there were poisonous spiders in the cave, and they didn't listen. ”
The head of the guard circled around Mu Yunqi and asked, "That's it?" ”
"That's all."
"Then why are they poisoned and you're okay?"
"Then ask them if they really went to the hot springs, if not, the gods can't save them."
The man asked a man who was still awake, "Have you arrived at the hot springs?" ”
The man shook his head and said out of breath: "We, we were poisoned, and after the poisoning, we came out, I didn't dare, I didn't dare to go forward, there was no hot spring." ”
After speaking, the person swallowed.
The head of the guards also knew what these guys were like, and what Mu Yunqi said was also true, it was these guys who were greedy for money and lost their lives, so they could only order the people around them to throw these guys into the mass grave.
After the people were done, Mu Yunqi looked at the cave anxiously and asked the cave guard: "What's wrong with the cave, why is it smoking." ”
The cave guard slapped his thigh, and these guys burned the cave with a fire breaker, trying to burn the spiders to death.
Mu Yunqi was a little worried that it would affect the aquatic plants under the hot spring, so he asked the head of the guard: "Can I go and have a look." ”
The man stood with his eyes open and shouted, "Are you looking for death?" Don't go back to work if you don't finish your work, don't eat. ”
Mu Yunqi had no choice but to put aside his worries and go back to work.
At night, she took Qiao Lu to accompany her into the cave, at which time the cave fire had long been extinguished, and the guards were nowhere to be found.
The two of them made their way to the hot springs unhindered, and it seemed that the gang had caused a lot of trouble to the nest of spiders.
When they saw that the hot spring was intact, they all patted their chests and laughed, Mu Yunqi took off his clothes and entered the hot spring, and when he went in, he found that Qiao Lu was still on the shore, she smiled and said, "You can come down too, this hot spring is very beautiful." ”
Qiao Lu turned around shyly, Mu Yunqi smiled and got into the water, the little girl was shy and let her go, Mu Yunqi touched the aquatic plants under the water again, feeling very comfortable.
When she went ashore again, even Qiao Lu looked straight and muttered: "You can really look good, princess, you are really getting more and more beautiful." ”
Mu Yunqi walked ashore and put on his clothes, and said, "You can also go down and soak for a while, I will guard it for you." ”
At this time, Qiao Lu was finally tempted, took off her clothes and went into the hot spring, and she also saw that those aquatic plants grabbed a handful. Mu Yunqi looked at her delicate little appearance and said, "I didn't lie to you, you are really amazing, how did you pick so much!" ”
"I don't know, just grab it with their swinging posture."
Mu Yunqi looked at the aquatic plants and quickly dried up and said, "Don't pick it, when will my senior brother come and figure out a way to preserve it without drying up." ”
Qiao Lu looked at the weeds in her hand and asked, "What about these?" ”
"Give it to me, put it together with the previous one, maybe it will work."
The annoying guys just disappeared, and the mine became much more peaceful, and the guards who were weak day by day, and the guys who didn't pay tribute to them were annoyed by everyone, and they couldn't keep their spirits up.
In the blink of an eye, it has entered late autumn, and winter is coming soon. Mu Yunqi called Qiao Lu and asked her to take out the money to buy some cotton clothes and food, as well as medicinal herbs.
"Buy more banlangen and come back, this thing is cheap and can prevent wind and cold, I'll buy the guards and let them allow us to hide our private goods, and we don't have enough preparation to have a hard time here in winter."
Qiao Lu said with some embarrassment: "It's okay for me to go out for a short time, if I buy things, I'm afraid I won't have enough time." ”
"In this way, give me the money, and I will go to King Qin's people to buy it, and his people are outside."
Qiao Lu nodded, and then went to withdraw money for Mu Yunqi. Mu Yunqi gave most of the money to Tianshan Xue, who weighed the money bag and said, "The princess is really benevolent, she can be a bodhisattva." ”
After Tianshan Xue left, Mu Yunqi pursed his lips, this girl just likes Situ Jing and treats herself as a rival in love, Mu Yunqi can't do anything about her, her heart grows on her, and she can't control her, just let her go, just do things for yourself.
This girl has a powerful mouth and is ruthless, but she can do things quite safely, Mu Yunqi also forgave her for the crime of disrespect, this is still what Situ Jing said, this girl is the most difficult to train, if she is disrespectful, she can clean up this girl. Mu Yunqi thought about it, forget it, he still has to rely on this girl for everything now.
Things are ready, how to transport them in and how to store them is a problem, Mu Yunqi thought for a long time, and finally decided to prepare a banquet that was not sumptuous and invited the head of the guard to eat.
The head of the guard has stopped recently, no one is looking for trouble, every day is just watching the work, idle in a panic, Mu Yunqi rubbed his two small hands to invite the man, and he immediately agreed.
The head of the guard is called He Dazhi, a local who has been a caretaker in the mine for generations. Mu Yunqi invited her over, and when she entered the door, she saw that the room was empty, looking at the food and hot wine that had been laid out on the table, but only she and Qiao Lu asked with some confusion: "What about the others?" ”
Mu Yunqi said with a smile: "They go to the kitchen to eat, and by the way, help us cook a few side dishes." ”
He Dazhi pouted and smiled, Qiao Lu hurriedly poured him wine, He Dazhi drank a glass unceremoniously, and then smashed it and tasted it and said, "Yes, let's say, what's the matter with such a big offer?" ”
Mu Yunqi poured him another glass and asked, "Boss, what do you think of this wine?" ”
He Dazhi smiled and said: "This is the most famous local sorghum white, the wine is strong, it is delicious, a jar is a lot of money, brother, I usually eat this, you are quite filial." ”
Mu Yunqi said with a smile: "It's good to like it, it's good to like it, we bought ten jars today, and we will find two people to send it home for you in a while." ”
He Dazhi squinted at her, and the corners of his mouth curled: "The princess has the ability, okay, you can say it, let's take a look at what to say." ”
Mu Yunqi immediately sat down opposite him and said: "I heard that it is not only cold here in winter, but we have not eaten yet, we want to stock up on some, this is an old man and a child, and it is very sad in winter." ”
He Dazhi put down his wine glass and said: "It's not a small courage, in a few days, the prince of Shengjing will come to observe the people's feelings, this mine will go around every year, you can tell me how to hide these things." ”
"Hidden caves?" Qiao Lu suggested.
"Caves? Not afraid of spiders? He Dazhi asked.
Mu Yunqi also knew that it was impossible to destroy the spider, so he shook his head, "No, the spider is poisonous and even more terrifying." ”
He Dazhi threw the problem to them, as long as they could hide it for him, he didn't want to go hungry.
Mu Yunqi stood up and turned around a few times, and then said, "Let's wait for the prince to leave before transporting it in?" ”
"The prince will come sooner than the New Year, and it won't be long before the New Year ends."
"It's really annoying in this life." Qiao Lu muttered.
He Dazhi glared at her, and Qiao Lu closed her mouth stupidly.
"Cellar!" Mu Yunqi suddenly remembered the favorite place in the north to store things.
"The cellar is full of coal!" He Dazhi explained.
"Why do you put coal in the cellar?"
"Hmph, for fear of stealing, the cellar can be locked." He Dazhi poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.
"When is the coal shipped?" Mu Yunqi thought about making room in the cellar for food and medicinal herbs.
"It's almost freezing."
"Why don't you send it over earlier, isn't there a time when this snowstorm can't be shipped out when it comes?"
"Yes, you have to be lucky even in the wind and snow, but you will be delayed for a few days and you will not get the wages you deserve."
"So, this year, it's shipped ahead of schedule."
"You will also be scolded for changing your plan, and you will not be paid."
"Big brother, is it important to pay or life, as far as I know, every year prisoners are infected with wind and cold, you guards are not much better, there are always some who can't survive and will die."
He Dazhi thought for a while, "Okay, let it go!" ”
