The carriage went all the way south from Sulingfu City to Suiyuan, and the first thing it passed was Xinhe City.

Xinhefu City occupies a small area, bordering Suling on the top and Jiangji on the bottom. It is mainly based on the plain terrain, and cultivates more fertile land. Its unique jasper fragrant rice is soft and glutinous and sweet, and it is very popular with today's harem ladies.

Because of the abundant and high-quality grain, there are many long-established sake breweries that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

……

Putting down the book about geography in his hand, he stretched his waist for a long time, and Xiaozhi handed over a cup of tea with great eyes.

"Where?"

"Miss, there are still a few hundred miles to get to Leqi Town, but I'm afraid we won't be able to get there before dark today."

Because they are of the same age, although they signed the deed of sale and were slaves, people who grew up under the red flag really can't treat slaves as human beings according to the custom here.

Therefore, if it is said early on, as long as the loyalty is fearful. She will not be harsh on other rules and etiquette or even the dignity of the title.

After adapting to it for a few days, a few people are a little more comfortable, and they don't have to be rigid and serious all the time, and they gradually reveal their own nature.

Sumi looks shrewd, but in fact she is a dead eye. Su Liang can say that he can pretend to be quite well-behaved, heh, it's just a balls stuffed with black sesame.

As for Xiaozhi, this girl, after losing her cowardice, she looks much more lively and cheerful.

"It's not too early, since you can't make it, find a flat rest here."

"Yes, miss."

Sumi then found a place where there was a water source and stopped the carriage in a relatively open area.

Before dark, a few people were busy, and finally sorted out the temporary camp, and quickly prepared the current dinner.

After hastily feeding their stomachs, they sat on a burning bonfire and instructed them to practice martial arts for a long time.

After Su Mi was bathed in the Nine Refining Medicinal Bath, although he was already twelve years old, although he had passed the best period of laying the foundation, he was not much worse than those who had practiced martial arts since childhood.

Wuwei Gu's mental exercises could not be easily passed on, so she gave them the teachings of other sects that her predecessors had previously included.

Su Liang and Xiaozhi's qualifications are far inferior to Su Mi, the three of them practice the same kind of mental method at the same time, the latter has already entered the court, and the former is still looking at the threshold and cannot enter.

"Little wolf, Xiaozhi, you two, you still have to continue to work hard and persevere. As for the exercises, you should choose the light gong secret weapon. ”

Su Liang and Xiao Zhi glanced at each other with frustrated faces. The young lady is not partial, but she is not angry.

"It's enough to run on Sunday, you two just sit down and learn calligraphy. Xiaomi, you continue. ”

"Yes, miss."

Tonight's moon and stars are all obscured by thick clouds, and you can't see the true face.

With the sound of insects chirping around, several people worked hard, not daring to slack off on this rare opportunity.

……

Early in the morning, the carriage was on the road again.

After entering the scope of Xinhefu City, there are patches of farmland all the way, and it is almost the harvest season, and the golden ears of wheat are pressed down heavily, thinking that this year is a good year.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, should you borrow a fire from a passing farmer, or continue to Leqi Town?"

After thinking about it, he picked up the curtain for a long time, "Passing by the next village, let's find a farmer." ”

The farmhouse food is also very fragrant, and after eating dry food for several days, there is no taste in the mouth.

"Okay, Miss, sit tight."

Sumi raised her whip and swung it down, picking up some speed. Hearing this, I gradually understood the temperament of the young lady, and knew that she must be greedy.

It didn't take long for a village with a lot of people to come into view. Sumi controlled her speed and drove the car onto the road at the entrance of the village.

Shanghuai Village.

In the center of the village is a 100-year-old locust tree, with many pieces of bark peeling off its thick trunk.

It is in the flowering period, and the clusters of yellow-white flowers in the dense layers of lush leaves, overlapping and overhanging the branches in clusters, the fragrance is elegant and fresh.

The old men sat in groups of three or five under the trees, and the children ran happily, with the fluttering and circling round petals in the wind.

What a beautiful picture.

If you ignore all kinds of weirdness, I'm afraid it will really make people sigh like this.

Rujiu put down the curtain in his hand and gently played with it, his expression remained unchanged, but his brows frowned slightly.

"Miss..."

Always paying attention to her twig, she naturally noticed this subtle change, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Hmm. That's not right. ”

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Xiao Zhi leaned his little head, raised the corner of the curtain and looked back and forth several times, but did not find anything wrong.

Just the big locust tree, the elderly, the children. Isn't it like this in the village, just like their flower field village?

Could it be that you have overlooked something?

Knocking on her head, Rujiu asked helplessly, "Take a closer look at the faces of those old people, and then listen to the sound of running children?" ”

The old man who was sitting had a dark and pale face. As for the children? Is it true that the sound of their horses' hooves and the wheels of their cars seems to be quiet and terrible?

"Miss, this..."

Xiaozhi, who was frightened in an instant, hurriedly threw away the car curtain, and his face turned white visibly to the naked eye.

"Don't..."

Before he could be comforted, the carriage stopped, and a strange low voice sounded outside.

"I wonder where the nobles came from? What happened when you pass through Shanghuai Village? ”

Lifting the curtain, standing next to the carriage was an old man of about fifty years old, dressed in a coarse cloth and short beaten and washed white, but without any patches.

His complexion was no different from that of the old men, dark and blue, as was his hand exposed by his cane.

"But the village chief?"

"Little old man is exact, dare to ask the little boy what this is?"

"I'm passing through here, and I'm looking for someone to partner with."

Wang Sihe saw that they were all half-grown children, although the carriage was dressed in a low-key manner, but the little boy who was the leader...

It's really rare handsome, the light that flows between her eyebrows and eyes with a calm expression, not looking forced but impossible to ignore, and the long sword pinned to the strange thing behind her back.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a simple child.

"If you don't dislike it, the little boy can go to the little old man's house."

"Thank you, sir."

"Where, where. Please come with me. ”

Su Mi looked at her, and after seeing the young lady nodding in promise, she hurried to follow the old village chief.

Most of the houses in Shanghuai Village are mud houses, and there are a few gray tile houses and thatched houses.

The village chief's house is one of the few gray tiles and white walls. The courtyard was paved with gravel, and the open space in front of the kitchen on the left was reclaimed with a few vegetable fields, and a pomegranate tree was planted on the right, and a row of chicken coops was placed.

The smell in the air is not too strong, but it is normal in a farmhouse.

"Young Master. Or..."

Calling the young lady a young master in front of outsiders, this is what they secretly decided to follow.

After all, when they are out and about, they are not very old, so Miss will undoubtedly be much more convenient.

Glancing at the village chief in front of him, Su Liang whispered, "Are you going to wait in the carriage?" ”

"Not really."

Rujiu shook his head, and followed into the small courtyard without changing his face. Secretly looking at this way, she had some vague speculations in her heart.

If that's the case, the village's secrets are quite terrifying.

Give Sumi a pre-announced code gesture.

Several people raised their hearts one after another, and their expressions were a little more unnatural.

"The family is simple, and the little boy also invites Haihan."

"No, it's because we have a lot of disturbances, and we have Lao Lao."

"Dad."

A woman in a navy blue skirt with a handkerchief of the same color wrapped around her head came out of the back room, and saw several extra children in her yard looking at the head of the house in puzzlement.

"This is the Uchikoda clan. His mother is a noble person passing by the village and wants to come and get a partner. ”

"It's... Noble people, please come in. The little woman went and prepared to eat. ”

"Nobles don't dare to be. I'm tired of my aunt. ”

Farmers only eat two meals a day, morning and evening, unless they are harvested during the time of harvest, and only add an extra lunch.

At this point in time, the laborers of the family are busy in the fields, and the women have to rush to help after finishing the work at home, and they are busy all day and night, just to have some surplus food for the family after eating a full meal.

No matter where they are, the people at the bottom are the most miserable, and life has never been easy.

Sitting in the courtyard for a long time, I sighed a little in my heart, I wonder if the Shen family is living so hard?
