The man obviously didn't want Zhang Qi to continue the topic, he frowned, and said loudly: "Okay, okay, there is a temple ahead, let's rest for a while before we set off." ”

As soon as the lean man called this, the other two diverted their attention and concentrated on their way.

Zhang Qi slowly pulled down the curtain, and the moment she lowered her head, she caught a glimpse of the thin man glancing at her out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes were full of surprise.

Pulling down the car curtain, Zhang Qi bit his lip and wondered: I don't know if he will change his mind if he is so startled by me?

She leaned forward and picked up a thin silk book from between the walls of the carriage, on which was written "Beginner's Enlightenment". The surname Zhang is a big family, and she has their noble blood in her body, so literacy is a must. And her mother clan is only a landowner in the countryside, and such a Han clan has no qualifications and no chance to be literate.

Therefore, although she had already known these words, she had to pretend to be illiterate along the way and start all over again.

With his eyes fixed on the silk book, Zhang Qi continued to think.

I don't know how long it took, Wen Yuan's voice came from outside, "The temple has arrived, sister-in-law is ready." ”

Zhang Qi replied in a low voice, picked up the hat and put it on his head, tidied up his clothes again, and as soon as the carriage stopped, he stepped out of the carriage with gentle support.

What catches your eye is a dilapidated temple, apparently abandoned for two years.

A group of people will have dinner here and then find a place to spend the night.

She couldn't remember where those bandits had attacked her, so Zhang Qi could only look around vigilantly. There are few pedestrians in this place, and several field paths are overgrown with weeds. At the end of the field of vision is a large area of farmhouses, where smoke is lit at mealtime.

Zhang Qi's heart moved, she had been walking with these three servants from the Jiankang family for so long, and she had an understanding of their hearts. At that moment, Zhang Qi looked at those farmhouses, raised his chin, and said crisply and happily: "Hello, I don't know if Sister Ah Hua is feeding the chickens or dining now?" Hehe, those friends in my hometown, if they knew that I had also become a scholar with fine clothes and food, I don't know how envious I was. ”

Her voice was crisp, like the tinkling of spring water, and although she said something unbearable, it was also indiscriminate.

Wen Yuan, who was in charge of educating her, scolded: "Sister-in-law, you have to remember your surname Zhang, and you can't say anything more about this kind of petty family in the future." ”

In the face of her education, Zhang Qi blushed and hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

She quietly raised her eyes, only to see Wen Yuan and the middle-aged man looking up at the village at the same time - they grew up in the Zhang family, and in Jiankang City, they occasionally met a few rural people. It's beautiful to think about. It's hard to come out this time, so you might as well go to that village to show off.

So, the middle-aged man spoke: "Since my sister-in-law misses her hometown, let's go to the village in front of us to eat, and by the way, we can also find a farmer to rest." ”

As soon as his voice fell, the lean man hurriedly said, "It's still so far, I'm hungry, so let's dine here." A pair of triangular eyes searched around, could it be that this is the place he made an appointment with the thieves?

Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, but heard Wen Yuan smile and said: "The sun hasn't set yet, so there's no hurry to eat." Besides, you have to find a place to stay overnight after eating. Just listen to the old man and go to the village ahead. ”

She actually agreed.

The lean man was so anxious that he said loudly, "Let's eat here." Those untouchables have snot and stinky noses, where can they eat? ”

As soon as he said this, Wen Yuan and the middle-aged man hesitated at the same time.

This man really has a ghost!

Zhang Qi secretly said that it was not good, and he was crisp at the moment, and said with a slight annoyance: "What are you talking about? Where do they stink? Although the clothes on the body are a little old, they are all clean. She believes that the farmers these people have seen are either people who have come to work in Jiankang City, or people near her grandfather's house, and those people have been specially sorted out and are very clean.

The middle-aged man nodded, and Wen Yuan also said: "That's right, the untouchables we usually see in Jiankang are clean." Even my sister-in-law's grandfather's house is also neat and comfortable. ”

When Wen Yuan said this, she turned her head to look at the lean man, and said strangely: "Old Zhong, what's wrong with you today?" So picky? ”

When she talks about this, it's hard for a thin man to stop her. He gritted his teeth, glanced at Zhang Qi secretly, and said hatefully: This little slut has released such a rumor, I really can't force it...... It's just that, and it moves randomly.

Seeing that he no longer insisted, Wen Yuan had already talked and laughed with the middle-aged man and put things back on the carriage, and then drove the horse to the village in front.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage drove into the village.

The village is not small, to say the least, there are five or six hundred households. Seeing them coming, the children playing in the village rushed up. Not far away, many of those villagers also ran out, pointing at them one by one.

The awe-inspiring eyes of these villagers really made Wen Yuan and the others quite comfortable, but those children, as the lean man said, had a long snot, and the smell of stench and sweat was mixed.

However, at this time, everyone came, and there was no reason to avoid it. At that moment, the middle-aged man came over. After greeting a farmer who looked cleaner, he drove the two wagons into the farmer's fence, took down the pot stove, and cooked the food on the floor.

The owner of the farmer knew that they disliked it, and he did not dare to ask them to cook in his pot, but just hid in the side house and watched quietly.

Several servants were busy working, and Zhang Qi, as the master, was wearing a hat and sitting upright in the vacated hall.

Zhang Qi noticed that when the three of them were busy, the lean man used the excuse of going to the well next to him to get some water, and he went for most of the hour. When he returned, the meal was already cooked and the dishes and chopsticks had been served.

Glancing at the lean man who couldn't see his expression, Zhang Qi wrung his hands and secretly thought: He must have gone to contact those thieves. I wonder if they gave up, or if there was another conspiracy?
