Chapter 791: The Post Station
The two of them slept all night in the post station, and let the shopkeeper prepare the wine and food in the lobby early in the morning, and the two of them ate a total of four people, and the amount and speed of the meal scared the shopkeeper, and hurriedly said: "Eat slowly, don't hurry, and what!" ”
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Yin Qingqi smiled embarrassedly, and quickly restrained his gobbling, and by the way, he also kicked Qi Feiyan next to him, asking him to pay attention to his eating appearance: "Eat slowly, look at you like a starving ghost reincarnated!" ”
Qi Feiyan wrapped rice in his mouth and muttered: "I don't want to eat those half-cooked things again!" Say I'm a hungry ghost, I don't care, I just have enough to eat. ”
Yin Qingqi glanced at Qi Feiyan with a little disgust, but remembered that he seemed to have really treated him badly in the past few days, so he ate whatever he wanted.
While he was talking, two more guests appeared in the room, dressed as officials of the government. This is an inn for government personnel to rest, ordinary soldiers like them are not qualified to stay, I think they should just come to eat.
"Little second brother, let's hurry up, go and prepare some dry food snacks for us!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly responded and went to prepare the meal, and then a few officials who weighed heavily came to the door, parked the carriage at the door, and then slowly walked into the lobby, met with the previous two, and sat at a table.
When the boss saw the distinguished guest coming to the door, he immediately greeted him personally, and served the food and wine. At the end, I didn't forget to praise them: "A few people have worked hard, our old man Chen is really kind-hearted, knowing that they are poor in Zhouwan, he will give them food every year, and they are exempt from taxes!" ”
One of the officials smiled and said, "Not really! If you want to say that we are here, we are really fortunate to have the county master, otherwise what would the people of that village in Zhouwan do? ”
Yin Qingqi felt a little strange, listening to their words, it seemed that natural and man-made disasters often occur in Zhouwan, so in this case, why didn't the imperial court receive any twists and turns? Even if the county order is not qualified to hand over the documents, then the governor here should also be aware of this matter, which is a bit strange.
But in the blink of an eye, Yin Qingqi put this matter behind him, since he dared to talk about it in the post house, he thought it was the acquiescence of the imperial court!
These officials were quite proper, they didn't drink, they ate some food quickly, and left with the small baggage given by the shopkeeper. After all, it won't be in broad daylight, blatantly bribe, looking at the faces of the two of them as usual, and if there seems to be a fragrance, Yin Qingqi couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "What's in that baggage?" Some incense! ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The guest officer has a keen sense of smell, these are the flatbreads baked by the Hun family, prepared for those soldiers who are in a hurry, they carry heavy objects, and it is not easy to walk the path, it is estimated that they can only arrive at night, so they can only bring some dry food." ”
Yin Qingqi thanked him, looked at the eyes of the young man next to him, and knew that he wanted it too, so he also asked for ten flatbreads, and then went out.
Brushing aside a piece of dry grass, Qi Feiyan asked a little speechlessly, "Why don't we take the official road?" Since you have already taken me to find it
Mingyue Villa, we should take the official road now, right? ”
Yin Qingqi shook his fan and said to Qi Feiyan: "From here, it will take at least two days to take the official road, why bother?" Let's take a trail from here, pass through two or three villages, and then we can return to the official road that originally went to Shuzhou. ”
It's not that Yin Qingqi doesn't want to take the pipeline, it's just that the time to walk the path is much less, and as for the pipeline, it is really worth the loss to go around in a big circle.
"Go to those backcountry places again, don't get lost again!"
Qi Feiyan pursed his lips, a little disdainful, although he didn't understand how they came out of that place like the Ecstasy Array yesterday, but it was definitely not Yin Qingqi's credit, maybe it was just their luck and they walked out of it, if they didn't have such good luck, they were afraid that they would be trapped inside.
Qi Feiyan felt terrible when he thought about it, but he had just cultivated a hobby, and he didn't want to die before he realized it.
"Just you talk a lot."
Yin Qingqi knocked on his forehead, her face was a little unbearable, she had boasted before, she would never get lost, let alone not know the road, the ravines and ravines of the Celestial Empire are all well understood, it is the experience left behind by marching and fighting for many years.
But who knew that I was trapped inexplicably yesterday, but I was afraid that if I talked too much, someone would come to find trouble for me.
However, the road was much easier to walk today than it was yesterday, but in half a day the village could be faintly seen, which was at the foot of the hill where the two of them were. It's the village down the mountain, but Yin Qingqi feels a little strange, it's close to noon, but there is no cooking smoke, could it be that this is the poor Zhou Wan?
Just looking around, there are green mountains and green waters, where are there any traces of famine, and I can't help but mutter, do such villagers need help?
However, if you want to think about it, if you want to confirm it, you have to go to the village and see it.
All the way down the mountain, I found an old woman in a cave halfway up the mountain.
Qi Feiyan and Yin Qingqi looked at each other, a little at a loss, looking at the old woman's expression, she was already a little unconscious, and said inarticulately: "Hungry...... Hungry ......"
"This mother-in-law seems to be crying out for hunger?"
Yin Qingqi was also a little surprised, she had more knowledge than Qi Feiyan, she had seen it in ancient books, if there was a village that could not survive, the first thing to abandon was the old man, and put the old man in the cave in the mountain, so that they would starve to death naturally.
But this kind of thing is not allowed by the Celestial Empire, how dare you do it here?
"Quick, feed your mother-in-law some water, and then break the bread and feed it to her!"
Yin Qingqi instructed, while checking the pulse of this mother-in-law, this person is too sick, and he is also half a doctor, this mother-in-law's pulse is not too bad, probably just hungry.
As soon as Qi Feiyan took out the meatloaf, the old woman's eyes opened, licked her lips that were a little dry and peeling, grabbed it and ate it, and then wiped her mouth after eating two sheets, and said with some embarrassment: "Two En."
Man, I'm so sorry, I was hungry just now......"
Qi Feiyan scratched his head, so he didn't care much, this cake was delicious when it was just out of the pot, but now it is cold, and it is a little heavier to eat, but Yin Qingqi on the side has deep thought in his eyes, looked at the old woman in front of him and asked, "Why is my mother-in-law here alone?" What about the family? ”
When the old woman saw her ask, her face was startled and then darkened, and she did not know what to say.
But Qi Feiyan opened his mouth and said, "Mother-in-law, how many days have you not eaten?" These cakes are given to you, but this mountain is a little inconvenient, otherwise we will send you home, this mountain road is not easy to walk. ”
Qi Feiyan didn't know how she provoked this old woman with her words, and her tears suddenly remained, which made Qi Feiyan jump a lot.
