Chapter 13: The Strange Old Woman
"Quick, let's take a look." Mu Qingge took Nanqi and quickly climbed towards the hillside.
When he approached the wooden house with the lights on, Mu Qingge stopped, thought for a while in his heart, and then said to Nanqi: "You don't talk for a while, and don't say that we have been to that village, let alone that we have encountered zombies." ”
"Why?" Nanqi was a little puzzled, why couldn't they let people know that they had been to the village?
"Don't ask so much, just look at it for a while."
Mu Qingge didn't know if her hunch was accurate, but it was always good to be careful.
The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and from time to time there were unknown bird calls, and the two of them cautiously entered the courtyard.
"Ah......h
However, Nanqi's eyes widened, and he pointed to a place in the courtyard and kept gesturing to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge looked in the direction Nan Qi was looking, and it turned out to be a tomb.
Who would put a grave in their own yard?
This also illustrates the unusual nature of this family.
At this moment, the people in the house seemed to notice that a stranger had come in, and with a "creak", the door opened.
"Who?" A face full of wrinkles appeared in front of Mu Qingge and Nanqi.
Nanqi was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled Mu Qingge's arm to hide behind her.
Mu Qingge didn't react, but smiled and saluted the old woman: "Old woman, the two of us saw the light here, so we came along the road, did it disturb your rest?" ”
"What are you doing here?"
The old woman looked defenseless, but was surprised when she saw the stranger.
"We encountered a little something, so we needed to find a pot, so we thought about coming to this neighborhood to see if anyone could sell us a pot, but after wandering around for a long time, I saw that you had a light on here, so we came here."
Mu Qingge replied without a trace.
"Which direction are you coming from?" The old woman asked as if unintentionally.
Mu Qingge pointed in the opposite direction to the village: "We came from over there." ”
"Come in." The old woman didn't suspect much, and let the two in.
Following the old woman into the door, the old woman poured a bowl of water for the two of them, and said again: "You are also thirsty this big night, right?" Drink some water and take a break. ”
Nanqi's eyes lit up, he just felt a little thirsty, picked up the bowl and was about to drink, but was turned by Mu Qingge's arm, and Nanqi put down the bowl vigilantly.
The old woman looked at the two with a smile, Nan Qi was a little embarrassed, "Old woman, the ...... in your yard" Before Nan Qi finished speaking, he was hit by Mu Qingge again and successfully shut up.
"Old woman, we are in a hurry, I don't know if the old woman has extra pots to sell us, we have to rush back before dawn, if we can't go back, I guess everyone will have to find us in a hurry."
Mu Qingge is also reminding the old woman that they came out to look for something, and there are still people waiting behind them, if they disappear, many people will find this.
When the old woman heard this, her wrinkled face smiled, and she became more and more infiltrating.
"I still have a pot that used to cook vegetables, and then I was too lazy to cook by myself, so it was empty, if you want it, take it."
"Then thank you, old woman."
Mu Qingge and Nan Qi glanced at each other, and finally solved it.
"Wait for me, I'll get it for you."
"Old woman, you're old, let's go get it ourselves." Looking at the old woman's thin body, which was about to fall down at any time, Mu Qingge also felt that she was too nervous.
"It's okay, you just wait." The old woman quickly went to bring the pot out for them, and although she saw that the old man might fall down at any moment, she seemed to carry the pot with great ease.
Nan Qi hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and then Mu Qingge took out two taels of silver from his arms and handed them to the old woman: "Old woman, this is the money to buy the pot, thank you." ”
"No, I live here alone, I don't need money, you guys go quickly."
The old woman did not accept Mu Qingge's money, but urged them to leave quickly.
The old woman sent them to the gate of the courtyard, and then admonished: "Just go in the direction you are coming, don't go any more here, otherwise you will get lost." ”
"We got it, thank you, old woman." Thanking the old woman again, the two of them took the pot and walked in the direction they had just pointed.
It wasn't until they reached a place where the yard was out of sight that the two stopped.
"That's an old man who has no power to tie his hands, why are you so nervous?" From the moment he entered the old woman's yard, Mu Qingge became nervous, making him nervous.
"It's always right to be careful." Mu Qingge didn't say much, just replied casually.
"Okay, shall we go back and lead the horses then?" They tied their horses to the woods outside the village, and if they went back, he feared that he would encounter the living dead again.
"Or you're going to walk back?" It took them an hour to ride their horses just now, and now it's almost an hour before dawn, and if they don't rush back, even if she goes back with the pot, that guy from Xuanyuan Jiuli will have an excuse to punish her.
The two finally returned to camp before the army could leave, and by this time the army was already ready to go.
Nan Qi took the pot to the gangfu camp, and then went to General Shao's to resume his life, and Mu Qingge walked back top-heavy.
After a night of tension, Mu Qingge was tired, and he couldn't wait to fall to the ground and sleep now.
But before Mu Qingge had time to rest, Ling Feng appeared in front of Mu Qingge: "Mu guard, the prince asked you to go to his camp." ”
Mu Qingge lowered his head and muttered, "Can't you let me rest for a while?" ”
"Guard Mu, what did you say?"
"No, didn't say anything, I'll go right away."
Mu Qingge looked at the clothes on his body, he hadn't washed and changed his clothes since he finished cooking yesterday, and after a night of running, he had already turned into rags.
Dressed in rags, Mu Qingge appeared in front of Xuanyuan Jiuli.
"Tsk, how did you get it like this? What did you do? Xuanyuan Jiuli still leaned on his collapse and asked casually, as if he had never left.
"I'm looking for a pot." Mu Qingge replied listlessly.
She didn't believe he didn't know.
"The pot was recovered?"
"Yes." Mu Qingge thought that Xuanyuan Jiuli would ask her where she found it or how she found it, but Xuanyuan Jiuli didn't say anything.
Mu Qingge waited for a while, and was about to fall asleep when he stood up, so he could only speak: "Lord Wang, do you have anything else?" My clothes are dirty, I want to go and change first....."
"You'll wear that from now on." Xuanyuan Jiuli pointed to the soldier's uniform on the table on the side.
Mu Qingge just wanted to change the eye-catching rag on her body at this time, and she didn't care what the clothes looked like, she walked over and picked up the clothes, and then thought about it, she had nowhere to live, let alone a place to change clothes.
"Lord, where do I change it?"
