Chapter 223: A Man Who Eats Women
Because the east and west sides of the road back and forth, except for the overnight stay outside, the rest are staying in the post house, delaying the time, so it is only around the hour today.
The carriage drove into the village, and no outsiders had come for a long time, and the few villagers looked at it vigorously, their faces full of curiosity.
Two men and one woman, both wearing very ordinary coarse linen clothes, the two women have delicate skin, especially the taller one, and their eyes are particularly smart, as if they are rippling with water.
Strange, why come to the village, even if you come, you can find a big village, they rely on the mine here, it is not convenient to enter and exit, and it is very remote!
Qin Yunshu looked over with a smile, greeted the few villagers one by one, and only said that he would stay here for a while.
Seeing that she was very kind, the villagers didn't ask much, and looked at her several times before they left to work.
Qin Yunshu found a house on the west side, and an old woman was spreading beans in the fence, ready to dry beans and store them, with gray hair, but her hands and feet were very neat.
Qin Yunshu shouted to the eldest lady with a smile, and then entered the courtyard, while Liu Yi and Uncle Dumb were waiting outside.
When she got here, Liu Yi knew that the place where the eldest lady went was not Jiangnan at all, and she was hidden from her all the way. The village was small and remote, and she didn't understand why the eldest lady had come here.
"Come in, we'll stay here for this time. Although the village is dilapidated, there are many of them, surrounded by mountains and forests, and you may be able to pick herbs. β
With a soft sound, Liu Yi's thoughts were pulled back, and the dumb uncle had already led the carriage in, and she followed closely.
There were two rows of three rooms, and the old woman prepared three rooms for them, "I used to live in my son, thinking that he would marry a daughter-in-law and have children, and I saved half my life's money to build two more rooms." β
As she spoke, there was a little loneliness in her eyes, and the squeaky ββ, were very clean in three rooms, and the utensils were very ordinary, but there were a lot of them, and it could be seen that the old woman often cleaned them, and she also understood that her son had not returned for a long time.
As for where he went, Qin Yunshu didn't ask, and after thanking the eldest lady, he packed his luggage with Liu Yi.
"Miss, you came here to pick herbs, there are so many shops in the capital, you can buy them."
Liu Yi finally didn't hold back and asked.
Qin Yunshu glanced at her and didn't tell her the truth, but he didn't lie to her vaguely, "I have my own reasons." β
Seeing that the eldest lady had a serious expression, Liu Yi responded in a low voice, and didn't ask any more questions after that.
When they were cleaned up, they found that the dumb uncle had gone out, and the eldest lady raised her hand and pointed outside, "He took a sickle to cut the grass and feed the horses." β
Qin Yunshu smiled and nodded, and then came to the eldest mother's side, "We are here during this time, let us do whatever you do!" β
The eldest lady glanced at her, she was also a cheerful person, and waved her hand directly, "You guys don't live in vain, I received a lot of copper plates." I'm used to being busy alone, so don't worry about me. β
As he spoke, he picked up a stack of straw on the ground and went to the stove house, and said something when he was about to go.
"You can cook three meals a day, and you'll go to the field with me to get vegetables."
As soon as the words fell, the man had already entered the stove.
Qin Yunshu looked at the busy figure inside through the window, the eldest lady didn't like to talk, she just lowered her head to do things, a total of six rooms, and one person lived all year round.
The environment creates such a character, the habit of loneliness at the beginning to the end.
"The slave and maid will go to the field, and you will rest in the house."
Qin Yunshu turned his head to look at her, and said in a low voice, "Don't call me eldest lady outside, and don't call yourself a slave, you go with your eldest lady, and I'll go around." β
When you first arrive, you always have to explore the terrain and know where to enter the mine, and it would be great if you could find out what was going on there.
Liu Yi nodded again and again, "Okay, slave ......, I can't follow, pay attention to safety." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the eldest lady come out with a big basket and glanced at them, "Say something whispered, follow quickly, the field is a little way away from here." β
Walking straight forward, without waiting for anyone at all, Liu Yi made a grimace at Qin Yunshu, "Tempered lady." β
With that, he quickly followed.
Qin Yunshu closed all the doors, then walked out of the fence and walked towards the entrance of the village.
In the past few days in the capital, the weather is getting hotter, but here is surrounded by mountains, everywhere is luxuriant, the mountain breeze is much cooler than the capital, looking at the green scenery, people are also comfortable.
The population is really sparse, and when she comes, she will see twenty or thirty people in the village, and they all go to the field, and when she leaves the village, there is no one.
In front of the village is a narrow straight road, not a dirt road, but a straight gravel road.
Qin Yunshu looked as she walked, if it was a cloudy day, she would not know the southeast and northwest, there was a sun today, and the direction of rise was east.
At the end of the gravel road, the road was not so flat, and the three forks led to the mountain, and I didn't know which one went to the mine.
As soon as she thought so, she saw that the road on the far right had a lot of axle imprints compared to the other two, and it was also very heavy, and the weeds beside the road had been cut down a lot.
Since it is a mine, it must be consigned by horse-drawn carriage, this must be.
I didn't think about going there today, but now it's early, and she's exploring the way.
Thinking of this, she turned her steps and walked forward, winding the mountain road, stretching forward, which was probably crushed by the axles.
The weeds on both sides of the road are not high or much, and it is not in the rainy season, so it is very convenient to pass.
Gurglingββ, at this moment, there was a sound of axles, and Qin Yunshu immediately moved to the side and stood on the grass.
"Don't say it, Xiao Dusi has just come here for a long time, and he has a few brushes. The previous leader was not convinced, and he insisted on competing to try it, but now it's okay, make a fool of himself in public! β
"It's not, it seems that the mining is a powerful character, and he has already begun to be restless, and he was suppressed all of a sudden, so he didn't dare to mess around for the time being."
Qin Yunshu didn't expect to hear the news of Jin Yan as soon as he came here. He did arrive many days ago, and in a short period of time, he suppressed the leader who originally controlled this place.
"I don't know what will happen in the future, this place is not easy to manage after all."
With a long sigh, the sound of the axle got closer and closer, and after a while, it entered Qin Yunshu's line of sight.
The two men in the cart also saw her, and couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, "This village girl is weird and beautiful." β
After muttering, he became serious again, "Don't go ahead, no one in the nearby village dares to take this road." It's a mine over there, and it's full of men. β
Speaking of the latter and aggravated the tone, "Understand no, a man who will eat women!" β
After saying that, the two pushed the cart and walked straight forward, only a warning.
Seriously, their hearts itch when they see the girl's face. But there are rules in the mine that women outside the mine are not allowed to touch, especially in nearby villages.
Having said that, everyone is guarding it on the surface, but there are adult men inside, and they are imprisoned every day, so there must be a demand! They were all hungry and thirsty, and they longed for a woman to go in.
Fortunately, they were sent by the imperial court, and they could go out and find a woman for a few days to be happy, and those miners who had been punished for their crimes before, for many years, were even more eager for it!
