After talking with the woman for a while, the two exchanged names, and Xue Langjing said goodbye and left.

The woman's name is Huang Linsong.

And Xue Langjing used the pseudonym of 'Tang Jing'.

Walking all the way to the west of the city, I also saw the two women who set up stalls to sell calligraphy and paintings mentioned by Huang Linsong.

The first one is about the same as Huang Linsong, only slightly younger.

The second woman, who was not much younger than Huang Linsong, but seemed to live a much more elegant life, and when Xue Langjing passed by, she saw the woman sitting leisurely in the stall, holding a book in her hand, looking at it with relish, occasionally turning a page.

When turning the book, the woman's slender and white fingers were revealed, which were more in line with the characteristics of Xue Langjing's ten fingers that did not touch the spring water.

It's closer to the female bachelor she imagined.

It's just that the stall set up by the woman makes her more fireworks than the female bachelor in the pavilion, and the robe is worn on her body a little uninhibitedly, which seems to be more free and lazy.

The woman seemed to notice Xue Langjing's gaze, so she also looked up to this side.

When she saw that the other party was a woman, the woman smiled and nodded to Xue Langjing, and then moved her gaze back to the scroll in her hand, no longer affected by foreign objects.

The smile that this woman raised her eyebrows and showed her face was different from Lin Chu's warmth and jade, but it was more romantic and charming.

is really as Huang Linsong said, living a chic and wanton life.

At this moment, I saw a woman coming with a food box, and the woman seemed to feel it and looked up again.

After seeing the person clearly, the woman hooked the corners of her mouth, put down the scroll in her hand, took the food box and lifted the lid, took out the food inside and ate with chopsticks, and laughed with the woman while eating.

Such casual movements, coupled with eating on the side of the road, if it were placed on ordinary people, I am afraid that it would be considered vulgar and unbearable, too outrageous, and not in line with the taste of literati.

It's no wonder that Huang Linsong said that her reputation in the eyes of others is not very good.

But Xue Langjing didn't see the slightest vulgarity in her, she only felt that this person was just casual.

And such a life is comfortable, and it is even more enviable.

sighed in the woman's heart, Xue Langjing, who didn't plan to buy anything, didn't want to stop in front of other people's stalls for too long, so she left here with her baggage.

By the way, this person's name is Mu Qingyun, and he is the most literary person among several female school teachers, but he is not as well accepted by the literati and Confucian scholars as other women.

If you want to go out of the city, like Xue Langjing, you also need to check the registration information of the road guide.

Her next destination is Qingyong County, and after leaving Qingyong County, even if she leaves Ning'an Mansion completely.

said that the trip was good, unless the situation was special, Xue Langjing did not plan to hurry, and only followed the general footsteps.

Such a journey could not allow her to walk to the county seat of Qingyong County in half a day, so she finally chose a village to stay for one night.

Along the way, she found that the villagers were quite vigilant, far different from the people of Fengqing County.

The reason for this is naturally that their place is some distance away from the Dongshen Wild Forest, so there are no hunters, and those scattered people with abilities generally go to the city to serve as guards for the wealthy, or travel far away to places closer to the wild forest to join other people's hunting teams.

This also leads to the extremely weak combat effectiveness of each village and town, and they cannot resist the invasion of bandits, so their vigilance is naturally higher, especially since the autumn harvest has not completely passed, and they must not be carefully watched.

After walking several villages in a row, Xue Langjing finally met a scholar who was guarding the entrance of the village.

It's easy to have a scholar, this time, she learned the lesson of the last time, and showed her road guide, hunter certificate, and ability certificate to the other party, so that she was able to stay in this Xinghai Village for one night.

What Xue Langjing didn't know was that when the villagers of Xinghai Village learned that there was a powerful person living in their village temporarily, many people went to find Li Zheng.

After some discussion, everyone planned to hire Xue Langjing to stay in the village for half a month at a price of 100 wen per day to protect the safety of the village.

And when Li Zheng and his party came to the door, although Xue Langjing felt the difficulties of the people at the bottom, but he didn't have the time to spend here, so he could only excuse himself that he had something urgent to do, and politely refused.

Her refusal naturally disappointed the villagers, and an old woman immediately knelt down towards her and begged, "Girl, please help us kill those bandits, now the harvest is a year after year, and the taxes are increasing year by year, and we have to prevent the bandits from coming to loot, our life is really not going to live..."

As she spoke, the woman sat down on the ground, and wailed there, angrily scolding God's injustice, why should she be so cruel to their little people.

The woman's behavior caught Xue Langjing off guard.

said that she couldn't leave the guards, why did she just let her go to suppress the bandits?

But before she could persuade her, the woman howled directly, and no longer begged her, but complained about God.

She really didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only sigh and watch the woman sit on the ground and curse the sky.

In fact, ordinary people should know that she is alone, and her two fists are invincible with four hands, how can she overturn a copycat bandit?

Fortunately, her landlord, the scholar named Ding Liang, explained to her.

It turned out that this woman's only son had been killed by mountain bandits a few years ago.

Having lost her only seedling, the woman's husband died of grief that year, and the woman suddenly went insane and now lives alone, without anyone to take care of her, and lives with the help of her neighbors.

Alas!

The people at the bottom, who is not bitter, isn't this how their own family comes?

But she's just an ordinary person, and there are more people who are having a hard time, so does she want everyone to help her?

Apparently not.

This little episode passed quickly, and Xue Langjing continued to do her own thing.

Xue Langjing originally planned to stay in Xinghai Village for one night, and left this place in the morning.

But she never thought that in the early morning of the next day, just as she was exercising, she heard the shouts of several men in the distance.

"Lin Fengzhai is here, the mountain bandits have entered the village, hide quickly..."

Hearing this, Xue Langjing naturally ran to the place where she lived.

Anyway, grab your weapon first.

But when she returned, she found that the courtyard door had been closed.

She had to knock on the door.

"Who?" A man's whispered inquiring voice could be heard inside.

Xue Langjing whispered back, "It's me, Tang Jing." ”

"Mountain, the mountain bandits didn't follow you, did they?" The man inside continued to ask.

"Nope."

Then she heard the creak of the door opening.

The man inside urged, "Come in." ”
