Pretending to be casual and asked again, are there any other cities to the east.

"Yes, more than 60 miles to the east is Yunling County, which is the largest county seat in Luoyang County, if it is not close to the border and is located in the middle of nowhere, maybe it will become a capital city, the girl can go to the county seat to have a look, anyway, it is going to pass by, there is a Mijia restaurant in the county, which is opened by our host, and the girl can also go and patronize it......"

From the shopkeeper's next words, Qian Yan knew that he was originally a slave of the Mi family, but later because of the good performance of the watch box, he was removed from the slave status by the young master of the master family and released to help manage this tavern.

There are many Mi family slaves like him, as long as they are more loyal house slaves, and there are smart children, they will be arranged to read and write with the young masters in the clan school.

Of course, it is not for them to go to the imperial examination, but to be sent out to manage the outside industry, because the elders of the family are still in the Mi family, even if they are not slaves, there is a high probability that they will not betray.

Mijia taverns are basically located in some towns under the jurisdiction of Yunling County, and it can be said that almost all the towns in Yunling County have monopolized the scope of rice shops.

Therefore, many people know that the shopkeeper of the Mi Family Tavern comes from a big place, and he has seen a lot more than other people in the town.

Some locals or outsiders who want to inquire about things, they will subconsciously point over, which also makes the business of the Mijia Tavern better, and the shopkeeper also knows more things.

After all, when some outsiders come to inquire, they will also reveal some things from other places, which can be regarded as an exchange of news.

Qian Yan thinks that this Mi family is a little interesting, this is the establishment of an intelligence network, although it is only within the scope of Yunling County, it is not good, maybe it is outside Yunling County.

Once again, I have seen the wisdom and methods of the ancients, which cannot be underestimated.

Think about it, now communication is inconvenient, traffic is very slow, so where does the method of transmitting information come from?

There are even times when the information has already passed before the parties arrive, and there must be their own method of transmission.

After that, I don't know what to say, but I talked about the pond on the east side of the town.

Qian Yan was also very interested in the pond, so she also followed the conversation and said: "Before I came over, I heard a big brother say that it was called Wang Bawan, and asked me not to get close, saying that there were many people who died inside before, I don't know what happened to those people?" Why did you die inside? ”

Looking at the curious little girl, the shopkeeper said with a smile: "The origin of the name of this Wang Bawan has been handed down from a long time ago, and it is impossible to copy it for a long time, that is, someone has seen a huge Wang Bawan crawling out of it, it is said that there are thousands of years of Taoism, I am afraid it has become a fine."

Since then, people here have often gone there to burn incense, hoping that the eight immortals of the king can bless their families with health and longevity, and make a fortune or something.

Thirty years ago, when a woman went to worship there, she stumbled and fell into the water, and there were many people there, and some of them went down, but many of them went down, but they couldn't find them.

As time passed, everyone felt that there was no way to save them, so they could only wait for the corpse to float up on its own.

But the woman's family waited for several days, and did not wait for the body to rise, so they had to erect a mound of clothes.

After that, I don't know if it was the ghost of the woman, but every three years, a person drowned there.

Even if Li Zheng found a monk to do it, it didn't help, and slowly everyone didn't dare to get close to there anymore.

But even so, it still didn't stop people from dying inside, some were thrown into it by driving a car and a horse, some were drunk and stumbled, and some people who couldn't think of it went there to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water.

Whether it is an accidental death or a suicide, it is once every three years, and there are more than ten deaths so far. ”

Qian Yan felt that there were indeed some evil sects, but she had heard that if there was a water ghost looking for a substitute for the dead ghost, it would be three years to find one, and if she found a substitute for the dead ghost, the previous ghost could be reincarnated.

But it's a little strange that the body can't be salvaged when it falls into the water, and the ugly ugly clearly says that there are many bones in the water, which means that the corpses are all there, why can't it be salvaged?

Saying this question to Chouchou, Chouchou said: "Of course they can't salvage it, the water is very deep, and I don't know how the puddle was formed before, it is at least dozens of meters deep, and there is a dark river underneath."

It's like a swimming pool, there is not only an inlet, but also an outlet, and the bodies of those people should have been sucked there when they sank to the bottom, and they couldn't float at all. ”

When Qian Yan heard that there was still such a situation, it could explain the reason why the corpse could not float, "What about one in three years?" How could it be so coincidental? Is there really a water ghost looking for a replacement for the dead? ”

Ugly scratched her head in the space, wanting to say yes, but she was afraid of scaring Yanyan, but she couldn't hide it, it would make her defenseless.

After thinking about it, he still said truthfully: "There really is, not only here, but also in future generations, have you forgotten what your mother told you about the villa area in Lion Rock in Hong Kong City?"

There were a lot of people who died there, and the corpse was used as the basis to form an extreme yin formation, and I also absorbed a lot of grievances there and recovered a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have recovered so quickly, and I had a fight with Xiangxiang again.

"And in your hometown, isn't there a junction that dies every three years? I've heard your grandmother say that she was hit by a car in the first year, and then she died strangely.

Some found a runaway car, and all of them had already run back to their homes, but they were still chased by the car and died, and one was even more strange, and they were hit by a truck and fell to death by the wall.

Now the houses at that intersection are empty, and no one dares to live there. ”

Qian Yan remembered, really, she was not impressed by the port city, and she listened to the story at that time, but her hometown really knew that every time she went back and passed by that intersection, her father would pay special attention to it, and that T-shaped intersection was the only way home, and she couldn't get around it if she wanted to.

The road at the T-junction is a slope of about twenty or thirty degrees, not very steep, and there is a yard below, and the wall is collapsed.

I heard my parents say that she was hit by a truck, but she didn't know that one died there in three years, probably because she was afraid of scaring her, so she didn't tell her.

At this time, the food she ordered came up, so she had to stop talking, thank the shopkeeper, and return to her table.

Then I found that she didn't order the staple food, but she was not in a hurry, so she first drank a sip of mutton soup, well, it tasted fresh and fragrant, and after drinking it, it was warm and comfortable.

Then she tasted the lamb again, and it was even better than what she had eaten with her parents before!

And it's not salty, so you can do without a staple food.

The amount of lamb in that clay pot and a large plate of lamb's head meat is not small, but fortunately, there are ugly ugly people who smuggled into the space and ate them together, otherwise she wouldn't be able to eat two meals by herself.

Chouchou sent her a voice while eating: "Pack more of this later, it's delicious to soak in the baked cakes!" ”

Dumpling: "There was originally a dish of mutton steamed buns, when we went to eat before, we ordered, the staple food and vegetables are available, and it is best to eat in winter, especially to warm the stomach." ”

Because it was a cold dish, there was still a lot of braised lamb head meat left in the end, but Qian Yan tried to cover it up, and it was received by Ugly and put in the space.

Glancing at the guy who was busy greeting the new guests, he walked to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, pack me two more lamb stews, and one more lamb leg and lamb wrapped with green onions."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper hesitated and said: "Girl, the roast leg of lamb is okay, it can be wrapped in oiled paper, but the lamb has soup, and the guys in our store don't have much to do, you see......"

Qian Yan understood what he meant, waved his hand and said, "I have my own food box, it's in the carriage, I'll go get it, you just let the kitchen make it first." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, and went to the door of the back kitchen to say a word.

Tilt waited for him to get back to the counter before going to the carriage outside, asking Chouhou to put the food box inside, and then she pretended to take it off the car.

There are big soup bowls and plates in the food box, all of which are relatively deep, saying that they are plates, but in fact, they are the kind of deep open bowls, which are specially packed for people, and they are too shallow to walk on the road and are easy to sprinkle, so they are just used at this time.

There are three layers in the food box, the lower layer is the highest, and you can just put two servings of lamb in the soup pot, of course, the soup will be less, and you can put the roast lamb leg in the middle, she instructed the guy, let the meat on the roast lamb leg be shaved off, and the bones will not be needed, and the province is not good to put in the food box, and the top can be put on the green onion and fried mutton.

Give the food box to the man, let him take it directly to the back kitchen, and when the dish is ready, just put it in it, and then go to the shopkeeper to settle the bill.

The shopkeeper was already planning to make a plate, and quoted to her while playing: "Three servings of lamb meat are a total of six coins for two coins, one piece of lamb head meat is one penny of silver, two coins for roast lamb legs, thirty yuan for a bowl of mutton soup, and eighty wen for a scallion fried mutton, a total of one or two and ten yuan, so I will accept one or two from the girl." ”

Dumpling paid the bill happily.

When the shopkeeper saw that she was packing so much, he knew that she was not going to spend the night in this town, and this look was to prepare to eat on the road, if she stayed here for one night, she could come here to eat at any time, and she didn't need to pack it now.

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but remind: "Girl, don't blame you for talking too much, if the girl is going to hurry now, it's best to find someone to spend the night before dark, and then go on the road after dawn the next day, don't sleep in the wild." ”

Qian Yan was a little puzzled and said, "Why is this?" Could it be that there are robbers on the road? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "That's not it, don't look sparsely populated here, but because it's close to the border and close to the barracks, the previous bandits and bandits have been cleared, and now most of the bad guys who have temporary intentions are not very good."

The most dangerous thing on this road is the wolves, there are many uninhabited places on the road, and wolves are often encountered, especially at night, if you sleep in the wild, it is easy to attract wolves, and many people have died in the wolf's mouth before.

Therefore, the girl is still safe, if she encounters a village before dark, she will try to spend the night in the village, and where there is a village, the wolves will generally avoid it and rarely take the initiative to attack.

If there is really no village, then hurry at night, try to take the big road, do not go to the small road, do not stop, and the wolves will not run on the road. ”

Hearing this, Qian Yan nodded seriously, "Thank you for the reminder from the shopkeeper, I will pay more attention and try to find a good place before dark." ”

Although she is grateful for the kindness of the shopkeeper, she doesn't take the wolves too seriously in her heart, not that she doesn't know what to do, but that there are ugly and ugly people, not to mention the wolves, even if there are tigers, she is not afraid.

As long as it is a beast, it can be deterred by ugliness, compared to the wolves, she is more worried about robbers, and when she encounters it, she can only resist hard except to dodge.

The wolves really let her meet, and it is estimated that she will eventually become her guardian beast, of course, this cannot be said to outsiders, otherwise people will think she is crazy.

After a while, the man came out with a food box and opened it on the empty table next to her, so that she could see the dishes inside.

"Girl, look, this dish is all ready, so do you have any other instructions?"

Qian Yan nodded and said, "No, there is work." ”

He thanked the shopkeeper again, said goodbye by the way, and went out of the tavern with the food box with his companions, and put it on the carriage together.

It's not that she can't carry it herself, it's just that this food box does have some weight, and a man has a lot of effort to carry it, if she can take it easily, it's a little too eye-catching, so it's better to keep a low profile.

After putting the food box away, she took out five copper plates and stuffed them into the man's hand, "There is Brother Lao." ”

The guy didn't expect to receive a tip, so he was so happy that he made several gestures to Qian Yan before returning to the store.

Tilt Yan got into the carriage and was about to continue westward to buy other things, but found that the previous family had also finished eating, and the four of them got into the donkey cart in turn and headed towards the east.

Qian Yan raised her eyebrows, wouldn't this family also go to Yunling County? Of course, not necessarily, maybe people go to some villages in the middle.

I didn't think about it anymore, and when I left the door of the tavern, I asked Chou Chou to receive the food box in the space, and put the dishes outside for a while to be cold, although there is a pot now, but it can be kept fresh, why bother with more procedures?

I just finished eating a meal of mutton and drank hot mutton soup, and my whole body was warm and comfortable.

As I walked west, I wondered what else I was going to buy.

At the mouth of an alley, Qian Yan saw that there was no one around, so she asked Chouchou to put the cauldron and coarse cloth into the space.

I have to buy some food seasonings for a while, and I have to go to the grocery store to buy a lot of things, I'm afraid that I won't have a place to put them.

At least buy a few pottery bowls and pots, those were taken away by the three of the He family before, and now there is no ugly space.

Walking to the carpenter's shop, Tilt Yan went in and asked, the carpenter said that it would take two days to make a carriage, but it would take two days to make a car, but they would have to wait until they had a batch of work in their hands, and they could only do it for her after they were done.

In the end, Qian Yan had no choice but to buy ten wooden strips with a thickness of ten centimeters and two meters long, and when the time came, she would make a simple shed by herself.
