Seeing that Old Man Ming and Boss Ming had gotten up and walked to the gate of the courtyard, Mingyue reluctantly continued to speak, "I need to go to the prison to see the fourth uncle, do you have any money on you?" ”

Listening to Mingyue's words, Mrs. Ming, who had always been picky and searching, was rarely generous, quickly got up, walked to the main room, and said, "I'll go get the money." ”

At this time, everyone seemed to have forgotten that Mingyue was the yellow-haired girl of their Ming family who had no sense of existence and was not welcomed, while Xu Jinniang looked at Mingyue with a contemplative face.

After the old man brought the money, the group was ready to go out.

At this time, Xu Jinniang came over with a torch, but saw that Mingyue was still holding a kitchen knife in her hand, so she said, "Yue'er should put the kitchen knife at home, seeing that it is getting dark, bring a torch." ”

Mingyue herself forgot about it, and she still had a kitchen knife in her hand, so she handed it to her mother and said, "This is taken at the village chief's grandfather's house, mother, you can help return it." ”

After speaking, Mingyue chased out with a torch, and as soon as she caught up, she saw Zhang Langzhong who was coming here with a medicine box on his back, "Just now, someone from the Xu family was injured and came to me to heal the injury, and said that the young master of the Xu family was also injured and asked me to go over to take a look, only to know that something happened to your family, so I came over to see, where are you going?" ”

Old Man Ming sighed and responded, "It's okay for the time being, we are about to go to the prison to see the fourth child, and by the way, ask what is going on." ”

Zhang Langzhong nodded and replied, "I want to go and see, I'll go to Xu's house to see what the young master's injury has become, so I'll leave first, you should be careful all the way." After speaking, he glanced at Mingyue, nothing unusual, and turned around and went in the direction of Xu's house.

And Mingyue and his party went to Linzi County, which was in a different direction from Liangshan Town.

Mingyue didn't know the way at all, so she quietly followed behind her lord and uncle, but her mind thought, the medical expenses of 1,000 taels are collusion between officials and businessmen? Or is it really ruining people?

Thinking of the fourth uncle who had never met, Mingyue wanted to see what kind of thing he was, he hadn't met yet, and he had caused such a big disaster to the family.

The group was preoccupied, quietly hurried, almost half an hour, the sky gradually began to darken, just in time for the cloudy sky without the moon, the old man Ming and his party had to take out the flint and light the torch to continue to hurry.

After walking for another half an hour with a torch, Mingyue couldn't help but wail, she was really going back more and more, and things were too inconsiderate.

Why didn't you ask how far the county seat is from the outer mountain villages? Or maybe you might as well rent an ox cart!

"Master, how far is our village from this county seat? We've been gone for a while, why haven't we arrived yet? ”

"Our village is not far from the county seat, and it will be almost an hour away."

After listening to the master's answer, Mingyue had an urge to faint directly, this is not far away? They haven't eaten dinner yet, their thin little body can't withstand such a toss!

But there was no way, continue to move forward, fortunately Mingyue has a strong will, although she feels hungry and tired, she can still keep up with the footsteps of the master and uncle.

After traveling for another hour, he finally arrived at the county seat.

What made Mingyue even more depressed was that in the middle of the night, the city gate was closed, and she couldn't enter the city at all.

At this time, Mingyue couldn't wait to give herself two slaps, what was the matter, she didn't think about anything, so she ran over with a roar.

Not far from the city, there was a fire, and a lot of straw was thrown around the fire, and a few people were talking around it, and I was afraid that it was because they could not enter the city at night, so they made a fire in this deserted outskirts, and prepared to live for the night.

Mingyue estimated that this place must be a place where people who can't enter the city often stay.

So the three of them joined the ranks of those people, and Mingyue sat obediently next to the master, listening to the conversation between the master and those people.

It turned out that those people were running merchants to go to Xianbei, and they had to pass through this Linzi County when they went back, but it was already dark in Linzi County, and they couldn't enter the city, so they had to settle here temporarily.

And from the chat of these people, Mingyue finally learned a little more about this place.

Xianbei is a nomadic tribe, living on horseback all year round, but there is a major defect there, that is, it is all grassland, no food, and Xianbei experienced a heavy snowstorm a year ago, many herds froze to death in that heavy snow, but what survived was to keep and reproduce, which led to the Xianbei people who used meat as the staple food began to starve, these people took advantage of this opportunity to transport food to Xianbei and made a lot of money.

As for those civilians, many of them are suffering from hunger, and it is said that the tribes farther away from the Great Yan Kingdom have been the most severely affected, and groups of people have begun to starve to death.

After that, a few people began to talk about the dangers they passed through this Daliang Mountain, along the way.

After Mingyue listened to the Xianbei situation that these people talked about, she began to think in her heart, the current situation in Xianbei is still not serious, and the fear of starvation is just a rumor, but the more this goes, the more serious the situation of Xianbei is afraid to be.

Even if a large number of herds are frozen to death, at least the meat is still there, and with a little processing, it can still support a period of time, but when it comes to the back, there are too few surviving herds, the speed of reproduction cannot keep up, and the grain is eaten up.

It's just these questions, Mingyue also thought about it in her heart, she was also powerless, she was still a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and now Mingyue was thinking in her heart, taking one step at a time.

It didn't take long for the people to fall asleep on the edge of the pile of straw, but they left one person to keep vigil, and they were still a little worried because they had a lot of money on them.

Mingyue was still sitting next to the fire, closing her eyes to recuperate, and when she used to go on a mission with the troops, she didn't sleep in the wilderness, but she didn't feel anything.

Boss Ming saw Mingyue sitting in front of the fire with her eyes closed, so he said softly, "Dad and Yue will squint for a while, I'll just keep it." ”

Old Man Ming was worried, how could he sleep, shook his head, and said to Mingyue, "The moon girl will squint for a while." ”

Mingyue frowned and said, "Master also squint for a while, I have to go to see the fourth uncle tomorrow, I have to take care of my spirits." ”

Old Man Ming listened to this reason, but finally listened to Mingyue, and nestled on a small pile of straw under him on the spot, and closed his eyes.

The habit that has been cultivated over the years, a little movement, Mingyue woke up, opened her eyes, and found that the sky was turned white, and the sky was about to dawn.

At the gate of the city, there were already people waiting to enter the city with their burdens.

The fire has been extinguished, the weather in the early morning is slightly cool, Mingyue shivered, thinking in her heart that she must come to open an inn outside the city in the future.

Mingyue looked beside her, the uncle was sitting next to the extinguished fire, his head was napping little by little, and the master also moved, as if he was about to wake up, and a few runners over there had already begun to pack their luggage.

Mingyue sat up, and the old man Ming next to him also woke up, and Boss Ming also opened his eyes, patted his face and woke up, looked at the surrounding situation, and said, "There are really a lot of people who have entered the city this morning, let's line up." ”

Old Man Ming sat up, took out the dry tobacco pouch pinned to his waist, found some sparks in the fire, lit the dry tobacco bar, and got up and said, "Let's go." ”

When she arrived at the gate of the city, Mingyue saw that most of the people in the queue were carrying burdens, which contained various crops such as vegetables, which should be nearby farmers who rushed into the city to sell vegetables.

Mingyue and the others were in the middle position, and the old man Ming was lined up with the work of dry tobacco, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw that the three people did not have any luggage on them, there was nothing to check, and they were all croppers who were farming, so they directly let the three people go, and if they had luggage or carried burdens, the officers and soldiers would check them one by one.

Looking at these processes, Mingyue thought in her heart, it seems that this county master has not seen the straw bag sesame official in a book or on TV, since this Linzi is located on the border of Dayan, coupled with the natural disaster in Xianbei, it is definitely necessary to conduct such a careful investigation just in case.

Since the county master is not a straw bag, it is possible that the fourth uncle's case is not a blind judgment caused by the collusion of officials and businessmen, and he came to this trip by himself, and he was still holding a fluke mentality, but now his heart has become even heavier.

When I entered the city, the roadside vendors in the city had already come out of their stalls, and there were people sitting in front of the stalls eating breakfast.

I was hungry all night last night, and smelling the fragrance wafting from this roadside stall in the morning, Mingyue felt that she was beating a drum in her stomach in protest.

The world is big, and the meal is the biggest, Mingyue's eyes flashed, and she said, "Master, uncle, go to the yamen at this time, I'm afraid it hasn't opened yet, or let's find a place to eat something before we go." ”

Old Man Ming was in a hurry, and wanted to go to the Yamen Prison to see Shiro as soon as possible, but now listening to Mingyue's words, he wanted to reprimand a few words, but when he looked at Mingyue, he couldn't help it.

If you think about it, it's really too early to go at this time, I didn't eat dinner last night, and my stomach is really a little hungry, so I looked around, and said, "Let's eat a bowl of noodles here." ”

ordered 30,000 Yangchun noodles, and Mingyue held her bowl and ate it with relish.

Compared with before, it is estimated that he still dislikes the lack of water and tastelessness of clear soup, but after drinking corn paste for so long in this Ming family, even if it is clear soup noodles, Mingyue also feels that he is eating a delicious taste in the world at this time, and he has not even let go of a little soup in the bowl.

After her stomach was full, Mingyue got up satisfied, and followed her master and uncle in the direction of the yamen.
