Part 1 Staggered Time and Space Chapter 2 The Spirit Stone of Fate

Section 178 Descending the mountain

Deacon Shen didn't let Yueqing wait long before he came.

Yueqing looked at him and asked, "Deacon Shen, how are you?" Is your food ready? ”

"Master Hui, it's ready."

"Oh, okay, I thought about it just now, can we easily replenish it after the ice melts along the way?"

"Don't worry, if you like to eat these on the road, the ice cubes can be replenished at any time."

Yueqing smiled: "Am I a little wasteful?" ”

"The treatment that the owner of the hospital should have, but I am afraid that the owner of the hospital will not be comfortable eating on the road."

"Don't worry, if I don't want to eat on the road, I'll say it."

"Yes."

"I'm ready, can we go now?"

"Yes, where does the master want to get out of the villa? If you go out at the main mountain gate, it is the same road that the master took when he came to the villa. The villa also has a side gate. The owner of the courtyard can choose to walk from that side. There are two side mountain gates that can lead directly to the villa city, does the courtyard master want to go? ”

Yueqing thought for a while and said to Chang Yuxiao: "Oh, it's the city that Chang Rong said last time I came, right?" ”

Chang Yuxiao nodded.

Yueqing said: "Are there a lot of people living there? ”

Deacon: "Yes. ”

"Are they all from the five clans of the mountain villa? What ethnic group are the main ones? ”

"It's the people of the five clans of the mountain villa, basically all of them are the clansmen of the Mo clan, the Chang clan and the Yue clan."

"Oh, okay, I've only seen the masters and guards here, except for the elders and deacons, and I haven't seen much of the ordinary residents of the villa. Let's choose the direction of the city I saw last time and go out of the villa. ”

"Yes." Chang Shen walked out the door.

Yueqing sat in the carriage, which was still the same as when she came, and Qiao'er and Qing'er sat in the carriage with her.

Qiao'er said happily: "We are finally going out of the villa." ”

Yueqing: "Do you also like to go outside?" ”

"I like it, if only I had the opportunity to visit the place where we lived when we were kids."

"Do you still need a chance? If you want to go, let's just go out of the villa. ”

"No, courtyard master, the direction is wrong, it's too far from the direction to the palace."

"Oh, well, let's go check it out later."

Qiao'er was happy, "Okay, thank you, master." ”

Yueqing smiled, looking at the people outside, everyone was still in the carriage, Qi Jiao was still driving, and Yueqing was also familiar with him in the past two days. Qi Jiao saw Yueqing looking at him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the master of the hospital, my driving skills are very good." ”

Yueqing said: "Well, when there are no special fun places on the road and there are no people, let's go faster." ”

"Okay." Qi Jiao nodded.

In front of Yueqing's carriage, Chang Rong led the team with six Qingwei in front. Yueqing looked at him and said to Qi Jiao: "Last time, Chang Rong came to pick me up by car. ”

Qi Jiao said with a smile: "I heard that Rong Chiwei was selected to be the in-house red guard of Qingyue Courtyard because of this. ”

"This, hey, I thought at the time that I couldn't be much weaker than the master of the Wutong Courtyard, how could there be Red Guards in my own courtyard, and I was familiar with them at that time, so I chose them."

"I see."

On the left side of the car are Caier and Changsong. On the right are Deacons Shen and Changhuai. Mo Xue and the other elders arranged for someone to follow behind the car. After that, there were two carriages and more than a dozen Qingwei pulling supplies, this time there were really not so many people, Yueqing said a word, and the people in front and behind could hear it.

Yueqing was much more satisfied.

"Deacon, what about the rest of the elders?" Yueqing looked up and asked.

"Master Hui, some people have already come out in front, and when we leave, others will follow behind, and if we need to, they can come over at any time."

"Oh, well done. On the road, just us people, the people in front and behind are not too hard, and they should rest when they should rest. ”

Chang Shen nodded.

Qi Hou saw them off outside the annex: "The master of the courtyard is careful all the way, Qi Hou is here to wish you a safe return." ”

"Okay, thank you, Commander Hou. Take care of you during this time. Then Yueqing said to Chang Rong: "Then let's go." ”

Yueqing and her entourage of more than 20 people left the annex.

The way down the mountain was much faster than the way up, and Yueqing looked out at the dense woods that were fading away. When I thought about coming, it was the trees that were getting closer and closer and more concentrated.

"Which way did you go back to the palace before?" Yueqing looked at Chang Yuxiao and asked.

"Zhengshan Gate. There is the most recent. ”

"Oh, have you ever been to the Villa before?"

"Go once in a while."

"Qing'er, what about you?"

Qing'er said, "I haven't been there. I had been in the Lodge Guardhouse for the first time, and then I was assigned to the Master of the House with Cai'er. He stayed in the palace all the time. ”

"If you weren't in the guard house before you took care of me, wouldn't you go? Like buying something or something. ”

"Buying something? Don't buy anything. ”

"Huh? Don't buy something? Don't your guards give you any moon silver or anything like that? ”

Qing'er and Qiao'er looked at each other, "Hair is hair, but it doesn't need it." All of our food and clothing are provided by the lodge. ”

"Oh, what if you have something you want, like something you want to play."

Qing'er smiled: "Our usual task is to protect the courtyard master, and there is nothing we want to play." ”

Yueqing blinked, well, these people really don't have any special pursuits.

"And what if you need to buy something outside?"

"We don't lack anything. Oh, the owner, the treatment provided to us by the villa is very good, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing. Compared to those countries outside the mountain villa, the life of ordinary people there is not known how many times. ”

Yueqing nodded, thinking in her heart: I remember that they said that the people of the Chang clan can't leave the villa, and I don't know if these guards can't leave either.

After walking for a long time, the scenery on the road finally changed significantly, and some fireworks could already be seen in the distance, Yueqing asked: "Is that direction also the city of the villa?" ”

Chang Yuxiao looked there and said: "Yes, it is also one of the cities, not too big, it is a small city, but there are more flowers and plants planted there, and most of the people living in it are the children of the outer disciples of the Zhen family." ”

"Oh, that's right, so which race of people live in the city we're going to pass by?"

"It should be that there are more people from the Yue family, and there are also a lot of people from the Mo family."

"Don't the people of the Chang clan live in the city?"

"The people of the Chang family are basically in the main city of the mountain villa, and the main city of the mountain villa is also a special place for the Chang family to live."

"How come I haven't seen it."

"The Qingyue Courtyard where you live is where the Spirit Maiden Courtyard masters live, and it is surrounded by several important places at the entrance of the halls of the mountain villa. It is separated from the place where the rest of the Chang clan live, and it is naturally impossible to meet it in normal times. No permission was allowed except for the Red Guard and the assigned people in the various houses. Only the elders and those who have been summoned are allowed to enter there. ”

"Oh, no wonder, is there a lot of people in the place where the Chang family lives?"

"There are not many people in the Chang family, and most of them are men. The proportion of women in the Chang family is very small. ”

Yueqing smiled: "This is also a family with a long history, why are there so few people in the Chang family, is it because of the low birth rate?" Can't the men of the Chang family leave the villa? ”

"This, I don't know what the reason is, the birth rate of the Chang family is indeed very low. As for the men of the Chang family you mentioned, they are generally not allowed to leave the villa. However, the area to which the villa belongs is very large, as long as you don't leave the villa's sphere of influence, you can still go. ”

Yueqing said in her heart: The Chang clan is indeed protected, but the villa is also very strict with their management, how to say this, for Yueqing, it may not be very free. I don't know if the Chang clan in my world will split with other clans for this reason.

"Do the men of the Chang clan generally choose people from the other four clans in the villa to marry?"

"Yes, generally people from the five clans of the mountain villa will also marry women from the Chang family, but those with more than three generations can intermarry."

"Oh, yes, yes, I remember Qing'er used to tell me to come over, right?"

Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be." ”

At this time, Qiao'er pointed to the front and said, "Courtyard master, look at the front there." It seems to be a few elders. ”
