Chapter 169: Finding a Way
Danduo glanced at Lin Shuqing, and then at the ore on it.
This is a salty stone, and I heard that some poor families don't have salt to eat, so they take this back and cook it to add flavor to their meals.
However, it contains poison, and most of the people who ate it died.
"Visitors from outside, if you want to go down the mountain, you should start early, it's dark, and the night road in the mountain is dangerous." A big man shouted from the intersection behind them.
Lin Shuqing turned around and threw the stone in his hand on the ground.
"Let's go......" Lin Shuqing said to Danduo beside him and strode forward.
"Girl, these are your clothes, they have been dried by the fire, but do you want to change them?" An aunt with a cloth towel around her head walked up with her clothes in her arms.
"Thank you, auntie, can you find something for us to wrap up and take with us?" Lin Shuqing asked with a smile.
The clothes were washed yesterday and hung by the fire, and in the morning they were sunburned for a while, with a smoky smell on them.
Lin Shuqing glanced at her clothes, the men's clothes she used to travel outside were not valuable, but Danduo's was different.
The wide-brimmed robe embroidered with colorful auspicious clouds gives people a sense of luxury at first glance.
But people are richer than her, so they shouldn't feel sorry for the broken clothes.
"I've got a few aunts to help me wash my clothes, and the clothes on my body, this is my little care." Lin Shuqing handed over two pieces of broken silver and said.
She didn't have much money with her, so she brought some silver particles just in case.
"Why is the girl so polite? Hey, I can't take so much silver. The girl's face was a little embarrassed.
"Auntie, let's take it, keep this money, and it's good to exchange it for salt and cloth......" Lin Shuqing looked around the villagers and said.
It is generally yellow and thin, and it is rare to have a good dress on the body.
She and Dando were also wearing patched clothes, which were a little old, but they were good standing in the crowd.
The people in the village seemed a little embarrassed to take this thing, and the families stuffed Lin Shuqing with some eggs and dry food.
The eggs were boiled, and the shell was still piping hot in her hands.
After thanking the people in the village again, Lin Shuqing and the others slowly walked down the mountain under the guidance of the men in the village.
Rao walked for a few hours, and walked around it for a while before he came to the mouth of a canyon.
Passing through the mountain wall, where all kinds of weeds were hidden, a road intersection that only allowed one person to pass appeared in front of them.
Lin Shuqing walked through the entrance of the cave and couldn't help but begin to sigh that the ancestors of these people were really good at finding a place.
They found such a remote place, which is really remarkable.
Just after a few people entered and exited the mountain wall, the view from this side gradually widened.
Murakami is surrounded by mountains, and when you step out of there, you can see the boundary of the mountain.
It took a lot of effort to come all the way, Lin Shuqing was tired, and he was a little out of breath when he walked on the road holding on to the tree trunk.
"It's only been a short walk and it's not okay?" Dando began his usual cynicism.
Lin Shuqing held on to the trunk of the tree and ignored him, and took out a few eggs from his arms and distributed them to the villagers who led the way.
"Everyone has been gone for so long, eat an egg to replenish your strength."
The men happily took it, and didn't eat the eggs given by Lin Shuqing directly, but stuffed them into their arms and nibbled on other dry food.
Lin Shuqing divided it for everyone, and everyone here excluded Danduo.
Danduo glanced at Lin Shuqing, and had nothing to eat.
When the villagers had just given the two of them something, he didn't ask for it.
To say that you are not hungry, it is absolutely impossible, but some people may be naturally noble and unaccustomed to eating these things, Lin Shuqing thought to herself, and felt that the eggs in her hands were more fragrant.
After eating, the group continued to walk down the mountain.
When I got to the town, it was already getting wester.
Along the way, Lin Shuqing could feel that several villagers were taking care of her and letting her rest enough.
It's not that Lin Shuqing is lazy, it's that she hurt her ankle when she slipped down the cave. I didn't feel it when I was engrossed in it before, but now I only feel pain.
This place is said to be a town, but after arriving, it is far from the prosperity that Lin Shuqing imagined.
The outer walls are all low walls made of yellow mud, and the houses on the streets are no exception.
In Xigui County, you can still see a few blue-tiled brick houses, but there is nothing here.
couldn't help but make Lin Shuqing suspect that those thieves had taken her to some strange place.
Mobei, a lonely and majestic city wall.
A general in heavy armor and a sword in his hand was standing on the castle tower and looking into the distance.
Behind him stood rows of soldiers, also with weapons in their hands, ready for battle.
The bleak north wind blew, and the red stained banner fluttered in the air.
A few gray-clothed men jumped up from the city wall, walked up to the general, and whispered a few words, and the soldiers next to them did not squint.
The general immediately turned to the side, took off his helmet, and looked at the man in gray with a look of disbelief.
"What, how did people lose it?"
"Master, my subordinates have tried their best to send someone to find it."
"I'll give you three days to find someone for me, otherwise, you know how to ......"
"Yes, master."
When the general turned back again, his face clouded.
If Lin Shuqing was like this again, she would definitely be able to recognize this person as the person she had taken home before-
Fang Yuan
Fang Yuan stood on the city wall for a while, his heart uneasy.
"Chengxing ......"
"General, I'm here!"
"Today's drill, you come to patrol ......"
After saying that, he quickly walked down the city wall, mounted the horse next to him, and hurried all the way to a mansion in the city.
"General, why did you come back so early today? Do you want to eat? The servant who was waiting at the door immediately greeted him.
Fang Yuan threw the sword in his hand and threw it into the hands of the soldier next to him who was also wearing armor.
"Prepare paper, grind ......" Fang Yuan walked briskly.
"General, but what's the emergency?" The subordinate next to him said with a panicked face.
Fang Yuan didn't give them an answer, he went directly to his study and wrote a letter.
"Send this letter out quickly......"
The gray-clothed man next to him took the letter and walked out quickly.
Fang Yuan put down the brush in his hand and clung to the edge of the table, the expression on his face changed unpredictably.
"Big brothers, it's getting late, why don't you rest in this inn with us?" Lin Shuqing said to a few villagers next to him.
Several villagers smiled and played a little reservedly, "Girl, we don't have to live here." ”
"And where do you live?" Lin Shuqing couldn't figure it out.
"There is a place outside where you don't need money, it's too expensive to live here, and the girl doesn't have to waste money for us."
Lin Shuqing was a little puzzled, where would she live if she didn't live here?
A few people took Lin Shuqing to the place where they used to live.
