"I'll take a look."

It's summer, and the weather is hot and dry, which can lead to dehydration. I finally came across a village, I can't miss it, I must add it.

"Master, I'll go with you."

Wang Yue turned over and got on his horse, and he was about to follow.

Qin Fan waved his hand and said, "No need, you escort the convoy." ”

After a pause, Qin Fan walked to the carriage and pulled the curtain.

Inside, the little princess was looking down at a book, and Tang Ji was fanning her next to her.

Seeing Qin Fan open the curtain of the car, the two looked up together.

"Husband... Brother. ”

The little princess's lips were also dry, and she saw Qin Fan looking at him in surprise.

Qin Fan stretched out his arms and said with a smile: "Good, come out and breathe." ”

The little princess threw the bamboo slip aside, leaned forward, and hung it on Qin Fan's body.

"Brother, I'm so thirsty."

The little princess licked her lips and said pitifully.

"Let's go," Qin Fan pointed to the village on the mountain and said, "I'll find you water to drink." ”

"Ah, that's good, there's water to drink."

The little princess giggled, fell to the ground from Qin Fan's arms, and ran forward in a hurry.

"Beasts!"

Da Qiao lifted the curtain and glanced at Qin Fan and the little princess who were going up the mountain, and he was angry in his heart.

When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Qin Fan stretched out his hand to hold the little princess and walked forward slowly.

The sun was scorching, and after walking down this part of the road, Qin Fan and Liu Yan were covered in sweat, and they only felt extremely uncomfortable.

Liu Yan has long lost her previous cheerfulness, and her whole person feels sick.

"Stop!"

A few steps from the top of the mountain, a loud shout was heard, followed by several figures emerging from the bushes.

These men were armed with spears or bows and arrows, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Qin Fan pulled the little princess behind him, calmed down his emotions, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Qin passed through here. It's hot right now, I don't know if I can ask for water? ”

"Get out of the way, there's no water on our side, don't blame us for being polite if you don't leave." I don't know who replied with such a sentence, and the tone was quite unkind.

Qin Fan was slightly annoyed in his heart, it was so difficult to drink saliva? It's not stealing and robbing, is it really that Lao Tzu is willing to give it to you if you steal it?

He was thinking about what to do, and heard someone on the other side: "Don't blame us, there have been so many yellow turban thieves recently, and the ghost knows if you are a spy or not." ”

Yellow Turbans?

Qin Fan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you so vigilant because of the Yellow Turban Army?" ”

"Hmph, why do you think so? It's not that our village has a good terrain, so we have already been served by the Yellow Turban Army. ”

One of the people inside talked about the Yellow Turban Army, his face was full of anger, ", a group of brutes, in the name of saving the common people, scourge the people everywhere, how many people are there in the village within a radius of 100 miles?" ”

Qin Fan sighed.

This hundred-mile deserted village was originally formed like this.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Qin Fan said loudly, "I am the new Taishou sent by the imperial court to Lujiang County, and I am not a Yellow Turban traitor. ”

Saying that, Qin Fan took out the Taishou seal and held it high.

"You see, this is my official seal."

Lujiang County Taishou?

A group of people from the village on the other side of the hill looked at each other, and one of the young men whispered, "Do any of you know about the official seal?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, how can they see this thing with the official seal?

The middle-aged man at the head frowned and said, "If he is not allowed to come in, if he is really the Taishou of Lujiang County, then it will be ......."

"Lujiang is far away from here, what can he do even if he is too guarded?" Someone pouted, "Just to be on the safe side, you can't let him in." ”

The middle-aged man stared at Qin Fan for a while, "You can't be careless about this matter, I think this person is dignified and rich, but he is not comparable to those yellow turban thieves." ”

He glanced at a few people around him, "Besides, he's alone, and he has a child, why should I be afraid?" ”

The young man before hesitated: "If you don't let Brother Xu come over and take a look, he said to let it go, and if you don't let it go, forget it." ”

The middle-aged man snorted and twisted his head to the side, but he didn't speak.

Soon someone went to call someone.

Qin Fan was impatient to wait, and suddenly heard a commotion in front of him. Then a man armed with an iron machete appeared on the top of the mountain.

The person who came had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and a square country was full of wind and dust.

glanced at Qin Fan, Qin Fan was about to speak, and then listened to the man: "You said that you are the Taishou of Lujiang County?" ”

"I am!"

Qin Fan raised the official seal in his hand, "The official seal and appointment documents are here, why don't you take a look?" ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't know a single big character, what's there to see?" The man looked Qin Fan up and down, and suddenly frowned: "You are so young, is it an official position that you spend money to buy?" ”

Qin Fan said with a smile: "It's the official position given by the old thief Dong, and I don't have that spare money." ”

"Come here." The strong man beckoned to Qin Fan.

Qin Fan patted the little princess on the shoulder and motioned for her to stay where she was. I walked up on my own.

When Qin Fan arrived at the strong man's side, the strong man snatched the official seal, looked at it a few times, and nodded: "It is somewhat similar to the official seal of our county order." ”

Qin Fan smiled.

The strong man handed him the official seal, and said suspiciously: "Dong thief asked you to be an official, why did you scold him?" ”

"Dong Zhuo is a sinner of the country, he should be scolded."

The strong man asked again, "What's your name?" ”

Qin Fan replied: "Just Qin Fan, a native of Lujiang and Anhui County." ”

"Okay, you don't look like a Yellow Turban thief, come with me."

The strong man turned around: "There is a lot of water, but we don't have much to eat, you can figure it out yourself, you can't sell it." ”

Qin Fan frowned, there is not much dry food left, if he doesn't replenish it here, can he just drink water and go on the road?

The strong man took two steps, didn't hear footsteps behind him, and couldn't help but look back.

"Do you want water?"

Qin Fan pointed to the foot of the mountain, "We have a group of 100 mouths... Can the strong man let me go and get some drinking utensils? ”

The strong man's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly looked at the foot of the mountain, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were many women who were also enjoying the cool at the foot of the mountain.

"I'll send a few people with you, and you put the utensils for getting water at the foot of the mountain, and we'll help you get water."

Qin Fan nodded, and the strong man led the four people and walked towards the foot of the mountain with him.

"Qin Taishou, how is the situation in Chang'an now?" As he walked, the strong man glanced at Qin Fan and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know."

After killing Dong Zhuo, Chang'an was still in chaos, and Qin Fan didn't know the specific situation, and he didn't want to know.

"Dong Zhuo is a scourge to the common people." The strong man sighed, and his immature eyes had complex colors that were different from those of this age.

Qin Fan glanced at him, hugged his fists and said, "You still don't know the name of this strong man?" ”
