Chapter 211: Gift Medicine
"Yes! If only I could find a set of guards' clothes. Su Xiaoting looked down at her obviously gorgeous attire and said, she didn't want to leave a wrong first impression.
"It's easy to find a guard suit, but unfortunately you don't have one to wear, otherwise I'll talk to Liu Da and ask him to prepare two sets for you."
"Okay~ It's good that the style is similar to yours, so it's easy to move." Su Xiaoting instructed that in the eyes of outsiders, clothing represents a person's responsibilities and attitudes to a large extent.
Her face is eye-catching enough here, if she wants to weaken the label of a good woman and be competent for the role of a waiter, she can only fit as much as possible in all aspects.
“…… Okay, but you look good in this! He looked at Su Xiaoting puzzled, he still remembered that these two clothes were already the two most capable and low-key clothes in the clothing shop specially designed for good girls.
"I'm worried that I will be too conspicuous when I follow you in the future~"
"Also, if you want to say that this waitress is really the first ......"
……
After walking for about an hour, it was almost dusk, and the county magistrate of Shennu County led a group of subordinates to greet him at the gate of the county seat.
Seeing Su Xiaoting, she looked at the subordinate with an excited face with some curiosity, and explained: "In the past, we followed the boss to come and go freely, and rarely alarmed the local officials, if it wasn't for the attack on the border this time, the guards from the county town would not have been in such a battle." ”
"You mean, in the past, the city lord would also travel secretly in Mu Ling?"
"Well, maybe I'm used to it! Besides, the city lord doesn't like meaningless entertainment~ The annual performance appraisal will naturally see the officials of each county in the capital. ”
"That's it!" Su Xiaoting agrees in her heart, it has always been a waste of money to welcome the peak, and it is easy for officials to be uninterested in government affairs.
Perhaps it was the city lord's traditional reputation, the county government only set up a few simple banquets in the evening, accompanied by several officials from the county seat, Su Xiaoting did not attend, only used some simple meals in the room, and then took care of her own cultivation.
When she was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden knock on the door, Su Xiaoting just changed into a nightgown, immediately put on her coat, and walked to the door.
"It's me!" Without waiting for a question, an unusual voice sounded behind the door.
Su Xiaoting hurriedly pulled open the ancient iron door bolt and stood on the side of the door, "City Lord? ”
"I'll deliver the medicine!" Ji Yuning stood at the door, and did not mean to enter.
"Beginners learn to ride a horse, but it's much better to use this. Maybe you will get used to it next time~" Ji Yuning didn't look at Su Xiaoting, and only took out a porcelain bottle with a round belly and held it in the palm of his hand.
"Thank you...... However, I can ride a horse tomorrow~" The escort guards have returned to their posts, and they are the only ones on the road tomorrow, and she doesn't want to delay everyone's trip because of her own discomfort.
Ji Yuning's eyebrows changed slightly, he raised his hand and grabbed Su Xiaoting's hand holding the door, and involuntarily stuffed the porcelain bottle.
"Don't be reckless, set off at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, there is enough time!" There was a subtle hint of anger in his voice.
Su Xiaoting was still about to thank her, but she saw that the white hair in front of her was like a waterfall, and the figure of the great bank had disappeared around the corner.
"Hiss~" The porcelain bottle in her hand that was still warm awakened Su Xiaoting's pain, she didn't feel it just now, but at this moment, her sore back immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.
She had already seen it when she changed her clothes just now, although her current physique was not ordinary, her skin was too delicate, and her legs inevitably wore out the skin the size of two coins.
Fortunately, the recovery speed is also amazing, after a day, the worn skin has scabbed, but the improper force during the ride and the muscle soreness caused by the long ride in the carriage really made her sore.
After hesitating for a long time, she still applied some ointment, and after using it, she immediately felt that the wound was a little warm, which seemed to have the effect of activating blood and removing blood stasis, and even the feeling of numbness and tightness was gone.
Su Xiaoting was surprised, what is this thing made of, it is not inferior to the high-tech drugs of the United States, and after carefully putting away this extraordinary ointment, Su Xiaoting finally sank into the first peaceful sleep since the Jimei Exhibition.
Early the next morning, a group of more than ten people continued to go on the road in a light car, and Su Xiaoting continued to sit in the carriage according to Ji Yuning's arrangement, and hung at the back of the queue with the carriage transporting goods.
About two hours after leaving the county seat, there were no more vibrant farmlands on both sides of the road, but rolling hills and patches of mountains and forests mixed with vegetation.
You can probably recognize Korean pine, larch, white birch, poplar, elm, etc., and from time to time you can also see some wild things in the forest, such as gray hares, black storks, flower-tailed hazel pheasants, etc., a natural and primitive scenery!
After walking for another hour, a rather solemn and tall mountain peak jumped in front of me, the mountain rocks were flat and towering, from the mountainside to the top of the bare gray granite, and what was more peculiar was that the top of the mountain was covered with snow, surrounded by clouds and mist, which was magnificent, which reminded Su Xiaoting of the holy mountain worshiped by the Tibetans.
The convoy then stopped outside a long pavilion on the side of the road, and one of them rode over on horseback, "Xiaoting, there is the Goddess Peak in front!" Let's take a break and have some hot food here. ”
Su Xiaoting agreed, jumped out of the car, breathed in the fresh and pleasant aroma of plants and trees outside the car, and stretched her stiff body a few times.
On the side, Liu Da was already preparing to boil water and hot rice, and Su Xiaoting noticed that the long pavilion seemed to be specially designed for travelers, with a ready-made stove and two rows of wooden chairs under the roof paved with wheat straw. There is also a stone house on one side of the pavilion, and there is a felt-fur curtain hanging at the door.
"One, what is this house for?" Su Xiaoting wondered.
"Hehe~ It's the same as this gazebo, but it's used in winter." He tied his horse to the grass, and then pointed to the Goddess Peak and said:
"There is a temple on the Goddess Peak, there are devout believers who come here all year round to make pilgrimages and worship, we have long winters and short summers here, as soon as it enters October, the water can freeze, so the city lord specially ordered to set up these resting post pavilions near the Goddess Peak."
"That's right...... Which goddess is enshrined in this temple? Su Xiaoting nodded, it seems that most of the county names of this goddess county come from this.
"Of course, we are the most revered in the Boundless Land - the goddess of Sephone~ When you talk to others in the future, you must be respectful~" One of them explained uneasily.
"Understood, Sephone...... Persephone? Su Xiaoting muttered, among the goddesses she knew, there was only this goddess in Greek mythology, and her name was similar!
"Her mother, can't she be the goddess of agriculture?" Su Xiaoting blurted out.
"That's right! The goddess's mother, Sagami, is indeed in charge of agriculture, have you heard? One of them was amazed, and when he was in the United States, he didn't seem to have heard anyone mention the gods they believed in.
"Sagami? …… Oh, I think I've seen it somewhere. Su Xiaoting said perfunctorily, if Sephone is really the goddess of grains, then what is believed here is not Buddhism, Christianity, but an insignificant goddess in Greek mythology?
And why did her mother, Demeter, who was in charge of the resurrection of the earth in mythology, become a god here?
You must know that the belief of a region is by no means an accidental choice, but has its own profound and complex historical causes. So, at least it was more influenced by Western missions?
