Chapter 293: Rejected

Coming to the uninhabited road, Xue Langjing unwrapped the small burden as he walked and checked the objects inside.

This was the most valuable thing she had on her body, besides weapons and armor, and it was also something she wanted to buy, but she didn't expect it to arrive so quickly.

Take it apart and take a look, this shopkeeper Li is quite well prepared, those few knives of paper are enough for her to write for a long time, and the quality of this set of four treasures in the study room is better than the one she bought at the beginning.

I'm afraid I won't be able to take it without five taels of silver!

Thinking of Shopkeeper Li's heartache in order to give the government three taels of silver for the custody fee, Xue Langjing couldn't help but smile.

This shopkeeper Li is at least a grateful person, and she is not in vain to help people this time.

After packing up the small baggage, Xue Langjing untied his small burden again, put it in, and then re-tied his back and set off.

Following the route told by the shopkeeper Li in his memory, he walked through two more villages, and then came to Xiangkou Town, and after walking through Xiangkou Town, he entered the scope of Jiangjiu County.

For Jiangjiu County, Shopkeeper Li doesn't know much.

I think that the villagers in this town near Jiangjiu County should know a little bit about that area.

She specially inquired about the specific situation of Jiangjiu County here before leaving.

Along the way, Xue Langjing walked all the business roads, and he had never entered the city, so he didn't need a road guide.

Nowadays, there are bandits everywhere, and there are not many people like Xue Langjing who walk alone in business, and most of them go together.

But Xue Langjing is not afraid, as long as it is not a place where bandits are too rampant, with her strength, there is naturally no need to be afraid of ordinary little thieves.

Shangdao is not only convenient and casual, but also does not have a checkpoint fee, which is perfect for her, a 'poor person'.

Anlin Town in Jiangjiu County is adjacent to Xiangkou County in Fengqing County.

After walking out of Xiangkou Town for nearly half an hour, I came to Xixia Village in Anlin Town.

At this time, it was already the end of Shen Shi (five o'clock in the afternoon), and if you wanted to go to town, you had to walk for an hour.

If you still have to stick to the town, the time is too rushed, and the prices in the village are cheaper than in the town.

Therefore, she decided to stay in Xixia Village for the time being tonight.

However, with her lack of experience, she still thought things too smoothly.

Not to mention that there is a fence at the entrance of Xixia Village, when the villagers see her as a stranger coming forward, their first reaction is to be vigilant, and soon, several villagers came running with hoes and aimed their 'weapons' at her, obviously very wary of her.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Xue Langjing had to take a few steps back and said to the person who took the lead, "This uncle, I am from Fengqing County, I am going to Yanping Mansion in the west, passing by Guicun, seeing that it is getting late, can I stay in Guicun for a night and travel again tomorrow?" ”

Before the uncle could answer, a young man on the side refused angrily, "Let's go, you're not welcome, you want to rest and go to the town, our village is not free, hurry up and let me leave." ”

The more he talked, the more angry he glared at Xue Langjing, as if this was his enemy.

"Well, this big brother, this is going to the town, I'm afraid it's going to be dark, and I don't know if I can live in an inn. Don't worry, I will pay for all the food and lodging expenses. Also, I have a guide here, not a bad person", Xue Langjing patiently explained to them.

"Heh", the young man sneered, "A woman, dare to walk such a long way alone, and not take the official road?" The ghost believes it, who knows if you snatched this guide from someone else, hurry up and let Lao Tzu go, otherwise Lao Tzu won't beat you to death! ”

As he spoke, the man raised the hoe in his hand at her.

If you don't give it, you won't give it to you, why are you talking so impulsively! Xue Langjing frowned a little unhappily, we don't have to live with you.

The middle-aged man frowned when he looked at the woman with a bow and arrow on the opposite side, quickly pulled the young man behind him, and also bowed to her, "Girl, it's not that I don't want you to live, but I don't know the girl's origin, and I don't dare to let strangers enter the village. ”

Well, the people of this village are too vigilant to let them in, and she can't force her way in, so she can only look for the next target.

But she still has some questions to ask.

"I wonder if I can ask the reason why your village is so vigilant, and whether the following villages are the same?"

I heard the middle-aged man sigh and say, "There have been two groups of mountain bandits who have come to the village to rob money and grain this year, so we have to guard against it."

In the next Niushan Village, the girl doesn't need to ask, they kindly took in a woman last year, and it turned out to be a fellow party of the bandits, who figured out the terrain of the village and introduced the bandits.

One walked to Huqian Village, closer to the town, and it was safer, but when you arrived, it was almost dark, and whoever dared to accept you, the girl should go directly to the town. ”

"Aren't there any hunters in your village?" She was a little curious.

The middle-aged man shook his head, "No, our town is a little far away from the wild forest, and there are no hunters." ”

"Okay, thank you", Xue Langjing arched his hand at the middle-aged man again, and then left.

Even if she turned to leave, the villagers were not less vigilant, but watched the woman leave.

It's just that she didn't expect that the woman ran after walking dozens of steps, obviously in a hurry.

It wasn't until her back disappeared in front of everyone's eyes that a villager said, "Sixth brother, she seems to be really passing by." ”

The middle-aged man who withdrew his eyes shook his head, "For the sake of prudence, it's better not to let people into the village, especially now is the season of grain harvest, and it is also the favorite time for mountain bandits to come, so it doesn't hurt to be vigilant." ”

The periphery of Anlin Town was obviously not very safe, so Xue Langjing didn't save that money, so he simply ran directly to the town.

Since she had been running for the rest of the day, except for a few stops to confirm her position, it took less than three quarters of an hour to get to town.

This time, there was no way to save money, so Xue Langjing could only go to the guest house.

In terms of food and accommodation, Xue Langjing would rather live worse than eat better.

Therefore, she chose a low-class room for ten cents, so that the little two couldn't help but complain in her heart, looking at the rich master, she didn't expect to be so poor!

But when she ordered food, Xiao Er laughed again, she ate sixty yuan in one meal, and ate all the meat left in the inn that they thought they couldn't sell.

For the sake of this big customer, Xiao Er naturally answered Xue Langjing's questions, and also let her find out the recruitment situation in this town.

Now that the farming has not completely passed, the town is still relatively short of manpower.

Moreover, Xue Lang's quiet work on the dock carrying the sack finally came to mind.

As for the vague and complicated look in Xiao Er's eyes when she asked what kind of hard work she had, of course she automatically ignored it.

Hmph, she's so different.
