Chapter 60: The Old Lady of the Fishing Village

The mound, as the name suggests, is on the side of the mound.

According to the laws common to all countries during the Warring States period, five households were neighbors, and five neighbors were one mile. Qiuli is under the jurisdiction of Zhao Wangting and is under the rule of Xue County.

However, the population of the hill is actually much larger than the base of one mile.

There are about 40 households, and according to the provisions of the Li Slang Reform Law, one household is calculated according to five people, and this small mound is enough for more than 200 people. Therefore, along the coast of Junozawa, the scale of the Churi is the largest, and the status of the Churi people is also the highest.

When Liu Kan and the others arrived in Qiuli, it was already nightfall.

The people of this small village, after a hard day's work, put off the lights early to rest. When the carriage drove into the village, it caused a dog to bark. Several farmhouses were lit up, and some muffled expletives could be heard. However, no one opened the door and came out to see the situation after causing such a big commotion...... After a few moments, everything was quiet again.

Someone's in**!

Liu Kan sat on the wheel of the car and turned his head to look at it suddenly.

The farmhouse with the lights on was silent, and after a while, the lights went out!

But even so, the feeling of being ** is still very strong. Liu Kan subconsciously clenched the Wushan Sword in his hand.

As I went down the road in the village, I came across a farmhouse that looked like an inn.

The infant nodded, reined in the horse, jumped out of the cart, and walked over to tap the firewood gently. A moment later, footsteps could be heard in the room.

A man about twenty-four or five years old, with a heroic appearance and a broad waist and a round waist, opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

The man had a thick local accent and a wary look. He barricaded at the door, staring at the baby, as if he was on guard against something.

Liu Kan jumped out of the car, stepped forward and said, "Brother, we are pedestrians passing by, we missed the accommodation, and we want to disturb you for one night, I don't know if it's okay?" We're not bad guys, just three of us, but it's enough to ask for a room to escape the cold. ”

At this time, Cheng Miao also got out of the car.

Maybe it was because of Cheng Miao's polite and white appearance, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

At the moment, he smiled and said: "All the worlds are brothers, and they are all guests...... Hehe, in these ten miles and eight towns, there is only my inn, what bother? It's just that my mother is seriously ill, and I'm afraid I can't arrange meals for a few people, so I ask for your forgiveness. ”

With that, he got out of the way.

The infant drove the car into the courtyard gate, unloaded the car, and put the horse in the verandah. When the man saw the two horses, his eyes flashed. While leading the way in front, he asked casually, "It's a good horse!" Where do the guests come from? ”

Liu Kan said: "From Pei County! ”

"Pei County? But that Pei County out of Surabaya flower carving? ”

Guan Ying couldn't help but smile and said, "Does the master's family also know about the Surabaya flower carving?" ”

"How could I not know...... If it weren't for the Surabaya flower carving, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where Pei County is. I have only drunk some wine mixed with water, but I have never drunk the serious Surabaya Huadiao. If you have time in the future, you must go to Pei County for a drink. ”

Liu Kan saw that the man kept scanning the corridor with the corner of his eye, and his heart moved, and he immediately understood his worry.

"Oh, I borrowed those two horses...... Since I couldn't ride a horse, I borrowed two from a friend from the government office. ”

"It seems that the guests are also nobles!"

The man smiled, and as he spoke, he took Liu Kan and the three of them to a side room.

"The small shop in the deserted village is not as prosperous as the county. It's a little shabby, so don't be surprised...... The kitchen is at the back and guests can cook their own meals. If there's anything you need, just say hello. I still have something to do, so please take care of yourself. ”

The oil lamp was lit, and the man smiled and left.

Liu Kan watched his back turn into the main house, and suddenly said to Guan Ying: "Be alert when you sleep at night, this person is not simple." ”

"How so?"

He knew the official horse, and when he saw the two horses just now, he looked a little nervous. In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful, let's take turns on duty...... When the gentleman is old, he doesn't need to be on duty, so he should rest early. Big Brother Irrigation Baby Guards the First Half of the Night, and I Watch the Second Half of the Night. ”

For Liu Kan's vigilance, Guan Ying felt a little redundant.

But when you're out and about, be careful in everything. What's more, the situation in this Junozawa is very complicated, and it is always good to be more cautious.

In the house, Cheng Miao had already laid out the mattress.

It smells fishy and slightly damp...... Liu Kan was indeed a little tired, and after falling on the bunk, he quickly fell asleep.

It's been seven or eight days since I left home, and it's really hard to travel all the way.

Liu Kan slept very sweetly this night, and in the haze, he suddenly felt that someone was pushing him.

I opened my eyes and looked at the baby in a daze, "What, it's already the second half of the night?" ”

"Someone's coming!"

Liu Kan sat up and picked up the Wushan sword, "Who is it?" In what place? How many people are there? ”

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to find the owner of this inn!"

Liu Kan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what do you tell me to do?" ”

"I think those people are vicious, not ordinary fishermen. Brother Akan, didn't you just say that you should be careful? ”

Liu Kan had a strong spirit, and together with the baby, he opened the door a crack and looked out.

I saw two or three people standing in the courtyard, holding harpoons, bright and shining, and exceptionally clear in the night. Looking at it like this, it seems to be a sentry. The lights in the main house were on, and someone could be faintly heard talking, but it was not audible.

About a cup of tea later, the man who had sent a few big men came out.

"Brother Yue, you have to make an idea about this matter earlier. The Qin thief added a levy to the service, and now he has added a cantonment. If this continues, sooner or later, the brothers will not have a way to live...... I heard that this cantonment is to garrison Yuyang...... Damn, we don't even know where Yuyang is, and seeing that we have to farm in the spring of next year, isn't this going to cut off the way of life. ”

The man said, "I already know about this!" Speak to the brethren and don't act rashly. If you really can't do it, retreat to ...... first."

Speaking of this, the man glanced at the residence of Liu Kan and the others.

"Let's see you in the old place after dawn, it's not convenient for me here, let's discuss it in detail after we meet."

"No!"

A few big men with fierce descriptions respectfully sang a fat promise, and then left the inn together. At this time, an old woman in her sixtieth year came out of the door of the main house, a little thin, with wrinkles on her face and gray head.

"Zhong ......"

After speaking, the old woman coughed violently, and her already somewhat rickety body was almost curled up.

When the man saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Mother, why are you up?" Didn't Lang Zhong say that you should rest more...... Or, the child will go to the county seat tomorrow, and please Lang Zhong will come back to show you? You, you better go back to the house and lie down, it's windy outside, don't get cold. ”

The old woman finally stopped coughing, "Zhong, what Erhezi said just now, my mother heard it." In my opinion, why don't you take everyone to Zezhong tomorrow to hide for a while? There is no problem with my mother's body, as long as you don't have an accident, my mother will be happy. ”

"Mother, don't say that......"

"Zhong, everyone regards you as the backbone, you don't want to chill everyone's hearts. With neighbors taking care of you at home, you'll be fine. However, you have to remember that after entering Ze, don't do that hurtful thing again, you will be punished, you will be retributed...... When you really can't help it, just think about how your daughter-in-law and son go, and be careful in everything. ”

"Mother......

One of the bosses' men, after hearing these words, his eyes turned red.

The old woman coughed violently again, and looked like that, and there was a tendency to cough up all her lungs.

The man was busy rubbing her back, and after a long time, she finally calmed down. Standing up straight, the old lady suddenly drank towards the room where Liu Kan and the others lived: "The guests in the house, they've been watching for so long, shouldn't they come out to meet?" ”

In an instant, the old woman seemed to be a different person.

The whole person became sharp, and the originally cloudy gaze brightened up.

Liu Kan shook the spirit of the cicada. This old woman is not an ordinary person...... Not to mention anything else, this momentum is not something that an idler can have. Glancing at the baby, the two pushed open the door, walked out slowly, and saluted the old woman.

"You are really a minion of the government!"

The man's eyes were cold, and he raised his hand and picked up a harpoon leaning against the door of the main house.

The door of the main house was closed just now, and Liu Kan didn't pay attention. At this time, Liu Kan actually had a weapon there.

Yes, it's a weapon!

The harpoon was about six feet long and made of bronze.

The harpoon's shaft was as thick as an arm's arm, and the two spears were sharp, about four feet long. This fork is enough to pick people up.

"Old woman, don't get me wrong, we are not from the government."

"If it's not from the government, how can they eavesdrop here? Mother, you go to rest first, and when the child cleans up the two of them, he is boiling medicine for you. ”

As he spoke, the man jumped out.

The harpoon shook in his hand, "Qin thief, grandpa is Peng Yue, who wants to arrest me...... Hey, hey, let's take my life! ”

Liu Kan still wanted to explain, but the other party didn't talk nonsense with him. The harpoon trembled in his hand, whirling and whirling, and there was a dull sound of wind, towards Liu Kan's chest, and it was as fast as a meteor and lightning.

――――――――――――――――――――

Today and two watches, I wish you all a happy weekend.
