Chapter 17: Out of the Mountain

Ah Shen felt that Meng Zhen was very powerful, and since the first day of the fight, he has been asking Meng Zhen some common sense about survival in the wild.

Meng Zhen didn't hide it either, he only asked once, and then Meng Zhen began to take the initiative to explain it to him.

She touched Shen very much, and as their relationship became more harmonious, they occasionally talked about each other's experiences.

From the past events that Ah Shen occasionally mentioned, Meng Zhen summed up some important information.

The first is that Ah Shen, like her, has both parents who have passed away.

The second is that Ah Shen has a deep blood feud, and his biggest wish at present is to be able to kill those executioners who killed his mother's body.

Last but not least, Ah Shen is currently being hunted by his mother-killer enemy, who wants to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so he has been sending people to search for this poor boy who escaped death.

And the reason why Ah Shen refused everyone to be thousands of miles away was to prevent others from suffering from the pond fish.

The similar tragic experience made Meng Zhen feel more empathetic and sympathetic to Ah Shen while being grateful for the other party's life-saving grace.

She roasted mushrooms while persuading Ah Shen to go with her, "Now that the world has been decided, the government will definitely recount the household registration and settle the displaced people, I think you can take this opportunity to give yourself a new identity." ”

Ah Shen was silent for a long time, "Let me think about it." ”

Meng Zhen was overjoyed, this was the first time that Ah Shen did not reject her proposal categorically.

She handed two more skewers of grilled mushrooms to Ah Shen's hand, "Then you think about it slowly." ”

Ah Shen glanced at her, and then raised his hand in a ghostly manner, wanting to help Meng Hao wipe off the little black ash on the tip of her nose.

Meng Hao was stunned, after she regained consciousness, this was the first time that Ah Shen did not deliberately draw a line with her.

Ah Shen was also stunned, although he just subconsciously wanted to help Meng Hao wipe off a little black ash on the tip of his nose, but Meng Zhen is a girl, he can't treat people as good buddies who can hook up their shoulders just because they wear men's clothes all the time!

The tip of Meng Hao's nose was slightly hot, although Ah Shen didn't really touch her, she was rarely a little nervous and flustered.

Ah Shen seemed to be frightened by his own action, he retracted his hand in a little panic, and then began to eat mushrooms without saying a word.

Meng Hao didn't say anything more, she silently roasted mushrooms and wild eggs, intending to help herself and Ah Shen fill their stomachs first.

***

Two days later, Meng Zhen took Ah Shen out of the range of Qianhua Mountain.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Ah Shen had already decided to resettle in Ninghai County, and he also offered to follow Meng Hao to practice martial arts.

Meng Zhen promised to teach him fist and foot kung fu, hidden weapons, and body techniques, as for whether he could teach swordsmanship, Meng Zhen had to ask his master first.

Being able to learn fist and foot kung fu, hidden weapons and body techniques, Ah Shen is already very satisfied, as for swordsmanship, his attitude is "the best to learn, if you can't learn it, you don't have to force it."

It's a big deal that he will find a martial arts master with real materials in the future, and teach him to use a sword or a knife.

"In front of us is the Mujia market town, we can go over and buy some food and hire a carriage." Returning to a familiar place, Meng Zhen became more and more like a fish in water.

She took Ah Shen into the town, and then went to the ready-to-wear store as soon as possible, and bought herself and Ah Shen a blue coarse cloth dress that was not eye-catching at all.

After paying the money, she took Ah Shen to the only small inn in town.

There were no guests in the inn, and when Meng Zhen and the others came in, the shopkeeper was napping behind the counter, and the shopkeeper was listlessly guarding the door, staring at the pedestrians outside in a daze.

Seeing Meng Hao and Ah Shen enter the inn one after the other, Xiao Er jumped up, "Two guest officers!" Are the two guest officers going to stay in a hotel or to eat? ”

Meng Hao was amused by him, "Stay in the hotel and eat." The second brother first opened two upper rooms for us, sent two buckets of bath water, and then prepared a table of vegetarian food for us. ”

The little second was very happy, and kept nodding his head while saying to Meng Hao and Ah Shen: "The two guest officers are please, and the villain will take you two to the room to rest." ”

After taking Meng Zhen and Ah Shen to the backyard guest room, Xiao Er went to the back kitchen non-stop and instructed someone to prepare hot water and meals.

The hot water came quickly, it seems that this inn has been preparing hot water for a long time, and Xiao Er quickly brought two buckets of hot water and two buckets of cold water to the two of them.

Meng Zhen and Ah Shen had been wandering in the mountains for so many days, and they had been pretending to be homeless before entering the mountains, so the smell on their bodies was a little strange, and their clothes were all dirty and tattered.

Now that they finally got the opportunity, the two immediately bolted the door and washed their bodies.

By the time they came out of the shower, the shopkeeper had already asked the chef in the store to prepare a table of meals.

Because Meng Zhen said that she wanted to eat vegetarian food, the food sent by the shopkeeper was very simple, first two large bowls of millet porridge, a plate of four white flour steamed buns, then a porcelain pot of tofu stewed cabbage, a large plate of cold cucumbers, and a large plate of zucchini scrambled eggs.

The two people who hadn't eaten a serious meal for a long time began to move chopsticks after sending away the shopkeeper.

Fortunately, both of them are not badly educated, even if they eat very quickly, their manners can still be maintained.

Eating all the food on the table in their stomachs, Meng Hao and Ah Shen breathed a long sigh of relief.

Meng Hao smiled and pushed a glass of water in front of Ah Shen, "Do you want to say that this is the life of a human being?" ”

Ah Shen refused to answer her question, "How long does it take to get from here to the county seat of Ninghai County by carriage?" ”

"An hour or so." Meng Hao said and poured herself a glass of water, "So I plan to take a short rest here and go back to Ninghai County directly." ”

Ah Shen has no opinion, "Then I'll go to settle the bill now, and by the way, let the little second brother help us hire a carriage over." ”

Meng Hao waved her hand, "I'll go, you stay in the room and don't come out." ”

Although Meng Hao felt that Ah Shen should have gotten rid of those who were chasing him before she met her, she was not afraid of 10,000 just in case, so Meng Hao felt that she should let Ah Shen show up less in front of people.

Pushing the door out neatly, Meng Hao walked to the front yard and found the shopkeeper who was in a daze in the previous posture, "Little second brother, please hire a carriage for us, we want to go to Ninghai County." ”

As she spoke, Meng Zhen stuffed a small piece of broken silver into the store.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed.

The piece of broken silver that Meng Hao gave him was about three yuan, which could be converted into copper plates, which could cover his salary for a month.

"Wait a minute, the little one will hire a carriage for you!" It just so happened that he had a cousin who was the coachman who pulled his feet, and the shopkeeper ran to his aunt's house and brought his cousin directly with the car.
