Chapter 42 - No Mouth

"It's not difficult, there is a bedroom behind this shop, it was originally prepared for the guys, March five catties their home is close, they have never lived here, they can let the crescent moon they live in the shop, it just so happens that the shop is also busy these days, they can also help the shop do something." Shopkeeper Fang immediately placed the crescent milk lady, and Jiang Ziyan also felt that this was more appropriate.

Then the shopkeeper Fang said: "The difficult thing is that the 'antler grass' grows on the cliff of the mountain behind the 'Erlang Mountain', and it is extremely difficult to pick. The medicine farmers who have been collecting medicine all the year round are stunned when they mention it, how can you little women pick this 'staghorn grass'? ”

Jiang Ziyan knew it in his heart, and said immediately: "Shopkeeper Fang doesn't have to worry, just take care of the crescent moon and the nurse." ”

Then he told the crescent moon and the nurse that they would live in this shop from now on and take care of themselves.

Ye Yu went to the princess's mansion again, sent enough medicine to the little boy for a month, and told the little boy not to stop the medicine.

Jiang Ziyan took Ye Cicada to buy some food and went back to Jiangfu.

The next day, I hired a carriage, bought a horse in the horse market, changed into men's clothes, stayed overnight, and galloped all the way to 'Erlang Mountain'.

After more than 20 days of trekking, we finally arrived at the foot of 'Erlang Mountain'.

It is said to be at the foot of the mountain, but in fact it is still a day's journey from 'Erlang Mountain'.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Ziyan and the others came to a small inn.

The inn is lined with towering trees, the trunk is very thick, the two can barely hug, it is winter, the branches are full of unknown birds, although the leaves are not, the birds that fall on the branches have become a new scenery.

When those little birds saw Jiang Ziyan and them, they didn't fly away, but greeted them with chirping.

The bird's cry attracted an old couple in the inn to come out and watch.

Ye Yu stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask the old man, but the owner of this inn?" ”

Because Jiang Ziyan wore men's clothes, Ye Yu Ye Chan grew up in the barracks with his eldest lady since he was a child, and Jiang Ziyan was a standard soldier in his previous life, and he couldn't see his daughter at a glance.

The old couple looked at the three teenagers in front of them, all of them were clear and beautiful, and they were unusually handsome, and they only thought in their hearts, whose little boy was born so handsome.

Seeing Ye Yu stepping forward to ask, the old man said, "Exactly, dare to ask the guest officer but want to stay overnight?" ”

"Old man, aren't you talking nonsense, seeing that it's getting late, you naturally want to stay overnight." The old woman was a cheerful one, and without waiting for Ye Yu to answer, she dismissed the old man by herself.

"Open the door and let these kids in and rest." The old woman had no children and no daughters, and when she saw that the young man was particularly fond of her, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

The old man went to open the door, and Ye Yu Ye Cicada helped, so he pushed the two firewood doors that had not been opened for a long time to both sides.

"Old man, take these horses to the back and feed them, and I'll arrange the room." It seems that this old woman is the number one inside and outside, and she holds most of the sky by herself.

The old man came over to lead the horse, Ye Yu led Jiang Ziyan and his own horse and said: "The old man just leads the way, we can lead the horse ourselves." ”

It's just an old man, and it's not good to be injured by a horse.

Ye Yu Ye Chan followed behind the old man, and Jiang Ziyan followed the old woman into the inn hall.

It was said to be a hall, with only a few simple tables and stools, probably without guests for a long time, all the stools lying on all fours on the table, and covered with thick dust.

The old woman turned back to Jiang Ziyan as she walked: "My old man's surname is Lu, and he is called Boss Lu, so call me Granny Lu." ”

The old woman was a talkative, and as she spoke, she picked up a feather duster placed in the corner of the wall and dusted it off the table.

"In the past few years, there has been a war at the border, and no one has come to our inn for a long time, except for our old husband and wife, there are only birds left in the trees within a radius of a hundred miles." The old woman was in a cloud of dust, and her mouth was not idle.

Jiang Ziyan retreated to the door, and waited for the dust in the house to settle down a little, and then entered inside.

The ground was also covered with dust, and he was discouraged, so he was not qualified to dislike the old woman, so when he entered it, he sat down on the stool that the old woman had set up.

The old woman went in the back and brought a teapot with a few cups in her hands. When Jiang Ziyan saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the cup and put it on the table.

Ye Yu Ye Chan walked in with his uncle, saw Jiang Ziyan sitting there, stepped forward and said, "Young Master Cousin, the horses are fed, and you will live here tonight?" ”

Without waiting for Jiang Ziyan to answer, the old woman answered: "It's getting late, it's not that the old woman wants to earn your silver, it's really that there are no people within a radius of 100 miles. ”

"Old woman, look at what you said, Erlang Mountain is still a hundred and ten miles away from here, and the bear will be there." Boss Lu saw that the old woman was talking openly, so he opened his mouth to stop her.

Hearing that Erlang Mountain is still a hundred miles away from here, Jiang Ziyan thought, leaving early tomorrow morning, he can rush to Erlang Mountain at noon, and he can go to the top of the mountain at night, but he will stay on the top of the mountain for a night at night.

"Boss Lu, please prepare more dry food tonight, we will be on the road early tomorrow morning, I don't know if it is convenient to ride a horse on the way to Erlang Mountain?" Jiang Ziyan ignored the bear in the old woman's words, and only picked up important things and asked Boss Lu.

After speaking, Jiang Ziyan picked up the old woman and poured water into the cup and took a sip slowly.

After a long journey, now the mouth is indeed dry, although the old woman's tea is not of high grade, drinking it in the mouth does quench your thirst.

"What? Are you going to Erlang Mountain? Boss Lu was surprised.

"Is there anything wrong?" Jiang Ziyan saw that Boss Lu's expression was different, so he asked.

"It's not inappropriate, it's a big inappropriate." The old woman didn't wait for Boss Lu to answer, and said first: "There are often bears on Erlang Mountain, not to mention, the war has just subsided, if you meet Xiliang's spies, aren't you sheep in the mouth of the tiger?" ”

The old woman said kindly.

Ye Yu Yecicada came out of the military camp, just a few spies, thousands of troops have seen it, how can they care about a few spies, sitting there drinking tea, glanced at the old woman, originally wanted to dislike the old woman, but when she saw that the old woman was old, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

Jiang Ziyan had spent two months alone in the primeval forest alone in his previous life, what kind of poisonous snakes and beasts had never been seen, and he would not take bears and spies to heart.

"It's okay old man, we are in a hurry to go up the mountain to find a medicinal herb, you can help us prepare something to eat." Jiang Ziyan saw that the two old men were very enthusiastic, so he comforted them.

"Herbs? What herbs? Maybe we have it here, so we don't have to go to Erlang Mountain. "I heard that Jiang Ziyan came to Erlang Mountain to find medicinal herbs, but Boss Lu was quite enthusiastic.

"That is, we have a lot of herbs here to send herbs here, and the traders in the mainland will also come here to buy them, because of the war in the past few years, the traders in the mainland rarely come, no, there are a lot of herbs stored here, if you need them, take them away, and we also have a heart." The old woman was much more enthusiastic than Boss Lu, and she crackled and said a lot.

Boss Lu saw that the old woman was talking endlessly, and stared at the past, and the look was clearly much more disgusted than Ye Yu Ye Chan.

Seeing Boss Lu like this, the old woman was not happy, "What's the matter, old man, isn't what I said wrong?" Look at the way you eat mustard cream. ”

In his previous life, Jiang Ziyan had seen and eaten mustard paste, but he didn't know if this otherworldly mustard paste was the same as the one in his previous life.

It's just that now is not the time to discuss mustard ointment, so the herbs are finalized first, and the rest are leaning back.

At that moment, he intercepted Boss Lu's words and said, "I wonder if you have any 'antler grass' here?" ”

'What?' Staghorn grass'? The old couple ate mustard paste together this time and exclaimed together.

"None? It's okay, tomorrow we will go to Erlang Mountain to pick it ourselves. Jiang Ziyan really couldn't look at this kind of eating mustard paste, so he drank tea by himself after finishing speaking.

The old woman moved a stool and sat down in front of Jiang Ziyan and said, "Young man, it's not that we don't sell it to you, it's really that our 'staghorn grass' was agreed upon by a customer, how can we sell two of them with one product." ”

Seeing his wife sitting in front of the guests, Boss Lu pulled up the old woman. Said: "Guest officer, our place was originally a medicinal herb distribution center, and the medicinal herbs collected by nearby medicinal farmers were sent here, and medicinal herb traders from all over the world would also come here to buy them." It's just that there have been frequent wars in recent years, and most of the herb dealers have not come, and no one has purchased the herbs sent by the medicine farmers from all over the country, and they will no longer be sent after a long time. ”
