"Girl, we don't just have this bamboo leaf green here, but also the famous dry and wine.

This wine is produced in Hedong, when the wine of Xinghua Village attracted officials from all over the country, literati and martial arts, villagers visited the school, all the passers-by smelled the fragrance and dismounted, a drink is fast.

That Li Bai, Du Fu and so on have come here to visit the wine to compose poems, Du Mu's "Qingming" poem is a swan song, the name of the wine into the court, the tasting is excellent, the state tribute, because of its brewing technology novelty, so it is named "dry and".

The price is the same as this bamboo leaf green wine, if the girl brings it to the elders in the family to drink, she can try these two.

The girl is also a coincidence, we just bought the goods yesterday afternoon, and there are some, both of which I supply to the largest restaurant in the city, usually only the remaining rich people are bought in the winery, so they usually don't leave too much. ”

Tilt Yan can also understand that this is equivalent to the kind of exclusive supply, some restaurants just have some special things, make a gimmick, and if you can't drink or eat it in other places, you can raise the price.

At this time, the guy Xiaoshan also came back, and said to the shopkeeper: "There are two jars of ten catties and one jar of five catties left." ”

Shopkeeper: "Go and see if there is still dry wine." ”

Xiaoshan ran to the back and looked at it again, and ran back and said, "There are more dry and wine, and there are forty catties, all of which are ten catties per jar." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Qian Yan, "That's all, do you want it?" If I want them all, I can push the price down for the girl. ”

As soon as she heard this, she was dozens of catties, and said directly: "I want all of these, the shopkeeper has to give me the lowest price, and you have to ensure the quality of this wine, I bought it back for the elders, but I can't let me lose face." ”

The shopkeeper assured with a serious face, "Girl, don't worry, my drunken immortal village has been here for decades, and my grandfather's generation has been here, and I won't smash my own signboard for these dozens of catties of wine."

And for the girl's filial piety, the price to you must be the lowest, my bamboo leaf sake and dry wine are usually two taels of silver a catty, this is a total of sixty-five catties, it should be one hundred and thirty taels, the girl will give me one or twenty taels, how about I give the girl ten taels of silver? ”

When she heard this, she felt that it was acceptable, nodded, and directly gave a silver ticket of one hundred or two taels of ten taels.

The shopkeeper carefully looked at the authenticity of the silver ticket, and put it directly in the money box under the counter.

Then he asked Qianyan, "Girl, do you think this wine needs to be sent to the girl's place?" ”

Qian Yan shook her head, "No, my horse is just outside the door, just put it in the basket on the horse's back, it should fit in." ”

The shopkeeper and the two men helped to carry the wine out, first reached out and tested whether the basket was strong, and broke the wine jar at the door before leaving.

found that the basket was quite strong, first took out the food box inside, and Qian Yan had already asked the ugly ugly to receive her burden and stones into the space, sixty-five pounds was exactly thirty-five pounds on one side, thirty pounds on the other, and the amount of food box on the thirty pounds side was about the same as the other side.

In this way, the two sides are balanced, and when you go forward for a while, when you reach a place where there is no one, let all the ugliness be included in the space, and it doesn't matter if the two baskets are empty.

After thanking the shopkeeper and the two men, Qian Yan led the horse towards the east gate.

At this time, there are a lot of people on the road, and there are many carriages going back and forth, presumably in time to go out in the morning when it is not so hot.

Because there are people on the same road along the way, there is no chance to put the wine into the space, so you can only walk forward slowly, for fear that if you go fast, the wine jar will be broken.

I walked for more than forty minutes to the city gate, and from the right gate I followed the flow of people out of the city, and after crossing the moat, I went to the path on the right.

There are very few people on the path, and there is a fork to the right after walking for about 200 meters, and the traces on the road are very new, there should be villages and towns there, and people walk around every day.

Tilt Yan turned along the path, and finally no one walked the same way, so that Chou Chou took everything in, and didn't even leave the basket outside.

Tilt Yan turned over and ran along the path towards the front.

The ugly and ugly searched with their senses, and there was a town two miles ahead, and there were five or six villages around it, and after these villages there was a big mountain, and they could go into the mountain and wait until it was dark.

I didn't stop all the way, and I passed by a few villages and went straight into the mountains.

Some villagers who were working in the fields heard the sound of horses' hooves and looked up, only to see a burst of dust on the road, and before they could see the people on the horses, they had already ridden away.

"Big brother, you just saw someone riding by, right?"

A farmer in his thirties said to the brother next to him.

The elder brother on the side nodded, and said with some confusion: "See, our road is not a big road, and there are people passing by on horseback, and I don't know what to do in the mountains?" ”

The younger brother squinted his eyes and guessed, "Could it be that there is something good in the mountains?" Didn't we say that there were once people in the mountain who occupied the mountain as the king, and later the emperor was proclaimed emperor in Xingtang Mansion, and sent a general to encircle and suppress it, and directly put the thief's den to the end.

At that time, it took two days to pull the gold, silver and jewelry alone with an ox cart, could there be any hidden ones that were not found?

I can't say that the person just now is the descendant of the thief who slipped through the net! ”

The elder brother looked at him in surprise, and felt that what his brother said was very reasonable.

However, they just think about it, they really let them go into the mountains to see if they don't dare, not to mention that there are many wild beasts in the mountains, if they are really the descendants of thieves, ordinary people like them will only be sent to death when they encounter them.

Qian Yan didn't know that she was just passing by in front of people quickly, which caused a reverie to others, of course, it doesn't matter if she knows, it has no effect on her anyway.

Before entering the mountain, Chou Chou said to Qian Yan: "It seems that we don't need to take out the car for emergency, there is a ruins of a cottage in this mountain, there have been no people there for some years, but some houses are still intact."

Especially since there is a dark room in there, no, it would be more appropriate to say that it is a basement, and a large underground stone chamber has been dug under the house, and there are things in it! ”

As soon as she heard this, she immediately became interested, "What kind of place is that?" Was it a bandit den before? ”

Ugly: "Look at the layout, it should be the residence of the bandits who occupy the mountain as the king, and ordinary people will not build a village in this deep mountain, not to mention the inconvenient transportation, even those wild beasts are enough for them to drink a pot."

The scale of this cottage is not small, it should have been surrounded and suppressed by a large number of officers and soldiers, otherwise this terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is easy to be served by people.

And those bandits should have been executed on the spot, because there were a lot of white bones in a mountain stream behind the stockade, and the clothes that were not rotten should be the bones of those bandits, of course, there were also many officers and soldiers, and I also saw some armor in it. ”

Qian Yan was not interested in this, she was more concerned about the contents of the cave, so she continued to ask, "Then what are the things in the underground stone chamber you said?" Is it gold and silver jewelry? ”

Ugly: "It's some gold, silver, jewelry, and some jade and coral ornaments, which look like they're all treasures, and they are placed in the dark compartment of an underground stone room, and there should have been a lot of them in the cave before, maybe they were taken away by the officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress them."

I don't know if the thief was stubborn and didn't get interrogated, or if he was killed directly before he could say it, but he was not found anyway and was retained.

The design of this cave is also good, and there are either talents in this institution in this cottage, or it is made by people who are proficient in the mechanism specially found outside.

The inside was very dry, and the dark compartment was in a vacuum, and the gold and silver jewels had not been oxidized until now, and they were still as good as new. ”

"Then you show me the way, let's go over there, just wait there until it gets dark, and take the things by the way."

She was going to go over there to take a good look, and then she would take a chance to explore the ruins.

As for the mountain stream piled with white bones, it had already become white bones anyway, and there was nothing to be afraid of, but she was accompanied by the ancient beast of Ugly, and she didn't think that demons and monsters could hurt her at all.

After entering the mountain forest, Chou Chou also came out of the space, squatted on the shoulder of Qian Yan, and directed the horse to go into the mountain forest.

The mountain is very large, but it is not steep, and although there is no road, it is not difficult to walk.

The main reason is that the northern mountain forest is not like the tropical rainforest or the southern mountain forest, which is crisscrossed by vines and difficult to walk, and the northern mountain forest has some deep weeds on the ground at most, and the trees are straight and straight, and there are some spacing in the middle, and you can ride a horse.

In addition, there is an ugly divine sense to find the way, and basically will not step on the pit.

Following the route of the ugly finger all the way to the southwest, she saw a lot of ripe wild fruits on the way, and she couldn't help but pick some and put them in the ugly space.

There is no way, she always feels that it is a waste not to pick it when she sees it.

Not only that, but he also picked up a few nests of wild eggs on the road, and a few pheasants were also beaten.

In fact, pheasant meat is much more delicious than hare meat, and hare meat has an earthy smell when made alone, and it tastes good when stewed with pheasant.

Pheasants are fine if they are made on their own, and they can also be stewed with mushrooms.

Because of a rain the day before yesterday, a lot of mushrooms came out of this forest, and most of these mushrooms are known to them, and they are not poisonous.

Like the umbrella-shaped white mushrooms that grow under the poplar trees, and some chicken leg mushrooms that grow under the peach trees, one by one they look like big chicken legs.

This is fried and eaten directly, or stewed chicken is delicious, and Qian Yan couldn't help but pick a lot.

She asked Chou, the distance to the cottage is not very far, if you walk normally, you can get there in an hour or two after entering the mountain.

Anyway, there was plenty of time, so she was not in a hurry at all, and it took three hours to walk to the abandoned cottage.

Looking at the ruins of the cottage in front of me, I finally knew what the scale of the cottage was like that Chouchou just said.

She counted the dozens of stone and adobe houses that had collapsed or were still there, and they all caught up with a big village!

The current village is not like the later generations, with hundreds or thousands of people at every turn, and now as long as there are more than five households, it can be regarded as a small village, and dozens of yards can be imagined that this scale is not small.

There are not only stone and adobe houses, but also stone watchtowers.

The watchtower was three or four stories high, thick at the bottom and thin at the top, and only a few people could stand guard in it at the top.

There is also water from the mountain spring in the cottage, forming a pool not far away, which is supposed to be for their daily use.

There was also a well dug in one of the large courtyards, and the courtyard wall of the largest courtyard was made of stone, and it did not collapse, and it can be seen that it was quite strong when it was built before.

Qian Yan first curiously climbed up to the watchtower to take a look, stood on the top of the watchtower, looked in all directions, and found that the view here was really good.

Because this is already considered the height of the mountain, you can basically see it from the three- or four-story watchtower and look around, and you will not be obscured from viewing.

Of course, those densely wooded places on the mountain must be somewhat shaded, but if someone walks in them, they can still be found, unless there is no moonlight at night.

It is said that if those officers and soldiers come to encircle and suppress on a large scale, they should be able to see it here, but even if they see it, it seems that it is useless, unless they flee directly, otherwise they will still have to fight to the death.

Coming down from the watchtower, Tilt Yan went to the largest room in the middle, which should have been the place where the owner of the cottage lived before.

There are six rooms in the large courtyard, which are still intact, of course, it cannot be said that they are intact, and those windows and doors are still damaged.

It should have been destroyed by a very fierce fight.

Walking in, the tables, chairs, benches and other things inside are still complete, but there are a lot of blackened stains on them, and I don't know if it is the blood stains that were stained before.

Because no one lived in it for many years and no one took care of it, small grass grew on the ground in the house, and the stone bricks on the ground were drilled out of the cracks, and the vitality was really tenacious.

The courtyard is also overgrown with weeds, but there is also a stone paved road to the outside of the courtyard, so it does not affect the walk-in.

Instead of looking at the other rooms, she went straight to the room on the far right, and Chou said that the entrance to the underground cave was in that room.

Sure enough, when I got there, I found a wooden cabinet toppled to one side, and a one-man high hole in the wall.

I thought that the wooden cabinet should have been used to block this entrance before, but it was directly destroyed by those officers and soldiers, thinking that there was nothing inside, so I didn't bother to restore it.

Tilt Yan asked Chou Chou to take out a high-gloss flashlight, and after opening it, he directly entered the hole, the hole was always open, and there should be no lack of oxygen inside.

Entering the cave is a stone staircase, which leads directly down and is somewhat steep.

This entrance is very private, and from the outside of the house it looks like a wall is a little thick, and there is nothing special about it.

The further down you go, the drier the air becomes, and sure enough, as Chou Chou said, this underground stone chamber is very exquisite, and it is not damp at all.
