Chapter 396: Stay in a small village
The eldest lady seemed to be a little hesitant, but looking at Zhao Qiujin's appearance, she didn't look like a bad person, and a young girl probably didn't have the ability to do anything wrong.
What's more, in the middle of the night, if you keep people out, in case you freeze to death outside, you will really do evil, thinking of this, the eldest mother hesitated, so she opened the door.
"Then come in."
The eldest lady is the only one in the house, and an old man is there, and the old man should be the husband of the eldest mother, and a couple is staying at home and cooking dinner.
Seeing that a guest was coming, the old man just glanced at it, and then asked, "Girl, you are from afar, I look a little faceless, and I don't look like we are from here." ”
Zhao Qiujin nodded, made an excuse at random, and said: "Yes, my friend and I came from afar, but we got lost, and we couldn't distinguish between southeast and northwest in this forest, and then we came to the eldest mother, and hoped that the eldest mother and the uncle would take us in for one night." ”
When the old man heard this, he nodded, "Okay, there is a firewood room in our backyard, although it is a little dirty, I will help you clean it up, and you can eat something at night." ”
While talking, the lady who was busy by the stove over there had already come over with two gray earthen bowls, and there were some simple rice porridge in the earthen bowls, although it looked quite simple, but Zhao Qiujin was really hungry.
She immediately took one of the large bowls and pushed it to Feng Lan.
"Feng Lan, you hurry up and eat a little, wash your wounds with hot water later, you can't leave wounds on your ankles, otherwise, it will affect the aisle at that time."
She looked at the wound on Feng Lan's ankle just now, it was really a little deep, and she was about to see the bones.
Feng Lan nodded, but the big bowl in front of him was pushed to Zhao Qiujin, and he only needed a small bowl.
Zhao Qiujin still insisted on asking for a small bowl, "You can eat that big bowl, anyway, I'm a girl, and I can't eat so much, I'm really tired now." ”
Saying that, Zhao Qiujin ignored the others, and directly took the small bowl and ate it.
"I'm really hungry."
Although the uncle and aunt of this family did not talk much, they could see that they were enthusiastic, and after they finished eating, the eldest lady also deliberately boiled some hot water and made a stove next to it, in case Zhao Qiujin felt cold.
"Thank you, auntie."
"Girl, why don't you take off your clothes and change into a clean one, I happen to have a clean one here, it's my daughter's, but my daughter is already married, and she doesn't live at home now."
When Zhao Qiujin heard this, she nodded, she had long felt that the clothes on her body were shabby, not a problem of shabby, but they were too dirty, and they were covered with mud.
She has a slight cleanliness habit, and she feels awkward when she wears this dirty clothes all day long, but because she is forced to do so, she can only adapt to it in the end.
The eldest lady came over with a clean plain gauze and handed it to Zhao Qiujin, although the style is a little old, but fortunately, it is clean.
Zhao Qiujin nodded, took the set of yarn clothes from the eldest mother, and after changing the clothes, the two of them made a fire next to them, and then asked the uncle and the aunt about the way into the city.
"Uncle and aunt, how long have you been living here, where do you usually go to catch the market, do you know which direction the capital of this Qi country is going, and you can get there?"
When the uncle and the aunt heard this, they both looked stunned, and after the two of them glanced at each other, they both shook their heads blankly.
"Girl, we don't know where the capital of Qi you are talking about, this is indeed the realm of Qi country, but our place is too remote, we are a small market on weekdays, about five kilometers away from here, after walking over, everyone will do some simple market transactions there, buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, but we don't know how to get into the city, there should be a long way to get into the city."
Zhao Qiujin had no choice but to nod, bake the fire, and after helping Feng Lan to simply deal with the wounds on his feet, the two of them fell asleep deeply.
They hadn't had a serious rest for a long time, and now that they finally got to the bed, the two of them immediately closed their eyes and slept comfortably until noon the next day.
When the two woke up, the uncle had already gone to the fields to plow, and the eldest lady was preparing pumpkin pie, which was for their lunch.
"Girl, you've just gotten up, eat something, I made pumpkin buns at noon today."
Zhao Qiujin nodded, glanced at Feng Lan, Feng Lan had already gotten up, and after the two of them had simply eaten a little something, they regained their strength, and they began to struggle and leave this place.
They don't stay too long in this little mountain village, they stay here too long and are of no use at all.
After the two men had made up their minds, they began to inquire where the lively market was, and there were so many people in the market that perhaps someone would know where to go into the city.
Soon, the eldest lady pointed to Zhao Qiujin and Feng Lan to the market, and sure enough, there were a lot of people in this market, unlike the small village just now, there were only a few families there, and there were at least a few hundred people in the market.
But these hundreds of people don't know anything about the capital of Qi.
Fortunately, they found a pawnshop owner, and finally found the general direction of the capital of Qi.
"Towards the south, keep walking until you see a place where there are people, you can ask again, but this road is not ordinary."
Zhao Qiujin sighed helplessly, in fact, when she first arrived at Qingyunguan, along the way, she had already thought that Qingyunguan was in the border area of Qi State, and the nearby mountains were staggered, and they might drift apart.
Now in this corner of the place, it is actually normal, it is estimated that it has already deviated from the capital of Qi State, maybe, directly to the border of Qi State.
"Okay, thank you, boss."
After leaving the pawnshop, Zhao Qiujin sighed helplessly, according to the boss, they might have to walk for ten days before they could reach the capital of Qi State.
Ten days, Zhao Qiujin can think of this concept of time, and he can think of how terrifying this concept of length should be.
Feng Lan looked at her with a depressed look on her face and sighed, he glanced at Zhao Qiujin at this time, and then asked Zhao Qiujin, "Do you still insist on going to find the person you want to find now?" ”
Zhao Qiujin nodded, "Well, I will persevere, although the road is very long, however, I still want to persevere." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Feng Lan again, "Feng Lan, do you want to accompany me?" If you don't want to stay with me, I think it's good if you settle down here. ”
Feng Lan was able to accompany her up the mountain, Zhao Qiujin already felt very grateful in her heart, if it wasn't for Feng Lan's company, she wouldn't have had the courage to get down from the top of the mountain at all.
However, the life in this neighborhood is quite suitable for Feng Lan, the people here are simple and isolated, Feng Lan lives here, and his life may be a little better than that on the mountain.
If she takes Feng Lan all the way, maybe she will arrive in the capital of Qi State, and when she arrives there, Feng Lan may not be able to adapt to life.
But Feng Lan replied very seriously, "I won't settle here, I'll go with you, didn't you say, we are friends, and friends can't leave each other." ”
