Chapter 270 Reinforcement Formation (Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The things out there were ugly and ugly things that were seen with the Divine Sense, and it was not until those people were safe to leave it that the Divine Consciousness was taken back.
They weren't in a hurry to consolidate the formation, what if they wanted to get out or trap themselves inside.
They had gone to the valley together, and when the people left, they had gotten out all the ugliness that belonged to them, and now there was nothing else in it except some traces of their lives.
Chou Chou said to Qian Yan: "There are a lot of medicinal herbs in this valley, but now they are covered by snow, and it is not easy to dig. ”
Qian Yan said with interest: "What medicinal herbs?" It can't be ginseng and reishi! ”
Chouchou shook his head, "No, there is no one in this valley, it is some gastrodia, eucommia, angelica, codonopsis, wolfberry, etc., these are all medicinal materials produced in the northwest, no one has come in this valley before, there are a lot." ”
Qian Yan: "Don't you know those people?" You can sell these things for money. ”
Ugly: "Not necessarily, most of those people are helping people deliver goods, and it is difficult for those who are not engaged in the medicinal herb business to know these, besides, even if they know, people may not be able to go out, who is in the mood to get these." ”
"Yes." Qian Yan nodded in agreement.
Since she didn't go out for a while, she unloaded the bear from the car, and the guy with the gold ingots had already begun to jump up and down the adventure.
Anyway, there is no one else here but them, but they can be relaxed and relaxed.
Tilt and Chou also start to wander around the valley, and they also want to explore, in case there is no notice.
They also went in to take a look at the caves where they lived before, and I have to say that these people all have experience in surviving in the wild.
The cave is not big, and it is very suitable for people to live in.
The doorway was a door made of twigs and straw ropes, and inside it was a straw curtain and some smaller animal skins, all rabbit skins.
There was a lot of hay around it, which had been pressed very evenly, and there were straw mats on it, and there should have been bedding before.
Except for a few locals, most of the missing people are traveling long distances, and they will carry daily necessities, such as pots and pans, bedding and other necessities.
Coupled with the transportation of grain, and the wild vegetables, pheasants and hares in it, there will be no problem in a few months.
There are four caves in total, some large and some small, the big ones seem to have more than a dozen people living in them, and the small ones should have lived five or six people.
It seems that they get along quite harmoniously, otherwise it would not be easy for so many people to eat and drink together.
The two of them had seen all the caves, and found nothing new, and when they were sure that there was nothing to explore here, they found an open space and got out the old house, and planned to stay in it tonight.
This house has a formation, so it is warm without a fire, and it is more comfortable to live in.
The box inside was placed in the space, and the charcoal stove and bedding and some pots and pans were taken out, and there was no furniture or anything, and this room could not be used often outside in the future.
The main thing is that it is too high to hide, it is easy to be seen, and it is too abrupt for such an expensive building to suddenly appear in a vacant lot, so they will still use their own wooden house or directly on the carriage in the future.
If there is anything missing in this house, it is that there is no kitchenware, and I don't know if the previous owner has already opened the valley and does not need to eat at all.
Anyway, they didn't see any kitchen utensils in the room, but there were teacups and teapots on the table, and it seemed that the other party still drank tea or water.
Let Chou Chou directly put those kitchen utensils in the cave next to him, saving a while that there is smoke when the fire is lit, and there is also oil smoke when stir-frying.
Originally, the house was clean and clean, and there was a smell of grass and trees, but when it was smoked by oil smoke and soot, it changed its flavor after a while, so I simply used the cave next to it as a kitchen.
The tables, chairs, benches, and benches in the outhouse moved into the inner room, and the outhouse was completely empty, allowing the big bear to live in it for a while.
And this house doesn't need a door at all, because of the formation, as soon as you enter the house, the temperature will rise immediately, even if the door is open and the window is open, there is no cold air coming in, which is really amazing.
At that time, the big bear can enter and exit at any time, and there is no need to worry about the heat in the house running away.
Qian Yan looked at her watch, it was more than twelve o'clock in the evening, and she didn't go outside again.
With the spirit stone, in the cave, they used their previous fire pit and charcoal stove to stew a meat, fried a cabbage, and the staple food was to eat the baked cakes in the previous space.
Because of the fire, the temperature in the cave is also good, and it has a little warm in winter and cool in summer, plus there are two fire vents, and there is no problem at all to eat in it, so they go back to the house to go to bed after eating here.
Because the temperature in the house is high, there is no ondol, and I don't feel cold on the bed, and I even sleep warmly, and I kick the quilt in the middle of the night.
Three of a bed, slept until dawn before getting up, simply washed up, last night supper was not hungry, simply did not eat breakfast, went directly to the outside.
Qian Yan was going to find the medicinal materials that Chou Chou said, not that he was getting those medicinal materials to sell them for money or anything, but that Chou Chou said that those medicinal materials had been in here for a long time, and the medicinal effect was better than that of other places.
Of course, it is not that all medicinal materials are as long as possible, after all, some are a season and a lifetime, but there are also some that have better medicinal effects after the years, so they are ready to dig them out and put them in the space to bring them back when the time comes.
In the later generations, there are no good medicinal materials that have grown for so many years, and they are all natural, and in this formation, they are somewhat better than the outside.
She, Chou Chou and Yuan Bao started a treasure hunt in the depths of the valley, according to the position of Chou Chou's finger, the snow was removed first, and he was digging it out with a small shovel.
After digging all morning, I dug several large baskets, and then I was taken into the space by Ugly and kept in one place.
There's no way, they can't concoct it, so they can only put it away first, anyway, the space can be kept fresh, and when the time comes, it will be the same as the one just dug up.
I looked at my watch, it was already half past eleven noon, and I could go and make lunch.
Chou Chou directly used his divine sense to catch two pheasants and two hares, and he was tired of eating mutton, so he wanted to change his taste.
The dried mushrooms and rabbits given by Sister-in-law Zhang before the pheasant were made directly into spicy, and a radish was mixed cold, which was a vegetarian dish, and the soup was also made into an egg soup, which was a change of taste.
Deliberately made both chicken and rabbit, put more space, and it is convenient to take it out and eat it at any time in the future.
After eating, I went to pick the wolfberries that were still hanging on the tree, and they were all dried on the tree, and they could be put away after picking them off and drying them a little.
This can be eaten directly or soaked in water to drink, and some can also be put in the chicken soup.
In the afternoon, I picked two large baskets of wolfberries, and I didn't do anything else, and I went to sleep after dinner.
They left the next day, and it wasn't interesting to be in it.
After the formation, he called out the blackbird's soul bead and asked it how to strengthen the formation, and the ugly ugly moved some rocks and trees slightly according to what it said, and buried two spirit stones underneath.
The position of those trees and rocks should be the key, and there were two times when the ugly and ugly moved a lot, and the whole formation was a little turbulent, until it was placed in the right position.
Then they realized that they really couldn't get in under that big tree.
The spirit stone is used in the box, and I am afraid that the spiritual energy in the storage bag is not enough, and it will not last long when the time comes.
On the road again is directly down the mountain, to be honest, there is a thick snow is very dangerous, they saw a lot of traces of sliding on the road, it should be those people before, it must have skidd.
Fortunately, there are no cliffs on either side of this mountain, and there are many trees, so if you slip a section, you will be blocked by trees, so that your life will not be in danger.
Suddenly, Chou Chou said to her: "It's best for us to stay in the town not far from the bottom of the mountain for a while, there are officers and soldiers from the county seat, and they are probably here to check the formation." ”
Qian Yan raised her eyebrows, "Those people are just going back?" Isn't it not far from the county seat? Even if the mountain road is not easy to walk, it should have arrived yesterday, why did you send someone here today? ”
Ugly: "Do you think those people will report to the police as soon as they get out of trouble?" ”
Qian Yan blinked, "Probably not, the local people in the county will definitely go home as soon as possible, and those who are far away will also go to the inn to rest first, it would be good to think about it the next day." ”
Chou Chou nodded, "Therefore, it is already considered a quick response to the officers and soldiers coming today, plus it is not easy to walk on this road, and these officers and soldiers are willing to come over are considered dedicated." ”
Qian Yan nodded in agreement, really.
They walked for more than an hour to the bottom of the mountain, and then walked three miles forward, which was a small town, and there was a stone tablet at the entrance of the town, on which was written Sanli Town.
It seems to be named after the distance between Heping Liangshan, the town is smaller than the previous Zhangji Town, Zhangji Town is also a main street, at least 500 meters long, this Sanli Town is only about 300 meters.
There are only shops, no homes, and there are many surrounding villages, and this town is mainly convenient for nearby villagers and pedestrians.
It's just that there is no inn in this town, it should be close to the county seat, some passing merchants would rather walk a few miles more than live in a small town, the county has a yamen and a garrison, and it is much safer than the town.
In this way, Qian Yan can only go to the only restaurant for lunch.
As long as you miss those officers and soldiers, lest the other party see that they have just come down the mountain and be interrogated by them.
After all, if you go down the mountain at this time, you can only go up the mountain at night, otherwise there will not be enough time at all.
Drove the carriage directly to the door of the restaurant, this small restaurant has no backyard parking, so it can only be parked next to it.
Tilt Yan got out of the car and walked in, but she didn't expect that the business of this small restaurant was quite good.
There were only six tables inside, only one was empty, and the others were full.
Looking at the menu card hanging on the wall, Qian Yan directly ordered a mutton noodle soup, she looked at the table next to her, and that side looked quite appetizing.
The noodles should have been rolled out before, and the brine should be poured relatively quickly, and it will come up after a while.
While eating slowly, she listened to the conversation at the next table, it was not a matter of that formation, there should be rumors in the county, it couldn't be so fast here.
They are talking about the conscription of the imperial court, and this year the snow is heavy, and the border must be more unstable, so conscription has begun again in various places, especially in the nearby state capitals, which have hard indicators.
The county magistrate of Pingliang County is still a good official, and the people here live well, so he doesn't want to go to the battlefield to be born and die.
However, there is no way for the county magistrate to do this kind of thing, he can't complete the task assigned by the above, and he has to eat melons himself.
Therefore, it is stipulated that if there are three or more sons in the family, one of them must go to the army, and the two sons can not go, but they must pay five taels of silver, and this money is the settling-in allowance for the families of those who go to serve in the army.
Of course, people with more than three sons can also pay the money, but it's not five taels, it's fifty taels, so the rich people don't have to worry, and most ordinary people can't come up with so much money.
Qian Yan frowned when she heard this, sure enough, no matter what dynasty she was in, only those who had money and power could live well.
However, this solution was already good, at least she couldn't think of a better way.
Thinking of what they just said about this year's snow, she said to Chouchou: "Chou, can you still see the border now?" ”
Ugly: "I can't see it, it's too far away, I can only see the side of the Prayer Village now, what's wrong?" ”
Qian Yan: "It's nothing, just now the next table said that this year's snow is heavy, and the border is more unstable, I want you to see if there is chaos over there." ”
Ugly replied: "There shouldn't be, Qinian Village is not far from the border, if there is chaos, it can't be so calm over there, at least there should be someone in Yunling County to discuss it."
It's calm over there, there's no wind, it shouldn't be yet. ”
Qian Yan nodded in her heart, maybe they had sabotaged the other party's sneak attack trick before, and the other party was not the opponent of the generals here.
Although the history here is a bit wrong, the early Song Dynasty was still okay in terms of military affairs, and it would not be so easy for people to break through.
After eating, she sat down for a while, and waited for the ugly to say that the officers and soldiers had passed, and then she checked out and left.
She also used her divine sense to look over, and the number of officers and soldiers in that team was not large, only twenty or thirty people, and a middle-aged man in front of her was leading the way.
Ugly: "The middle-aged man in front of him was the one who was trapped in the formation before, a native of Pingliang County, and he was also trapped in it for the shortest time, only trapped for less than a month.
It was also because his family reported to the official to look for him, and everyone knew that someone would disappear at night in Pingliangshan, which could be regarded as a good luck. ”
Qian Yan saw that he was in good spirits, and it seemed that he had not suffered much in it for the past month.
While walking, he told the officers and soldiers about the scene inside, but fortunately they only moved around the valley, and they didn't know that there was a house that was warm in winter and cool in summer.
So he talked about the scene in the valley, and yesterday he suddenly left after falling asleep, and bizarrely appeared directly on the mountain road.
I also guessed whether the gods saw that they were like arrows, so they didn't leave them, and even sent out the luggage without dropping.
It's called a certainty, if it weren't for what they did, everyone who listened to it would have wanted to believe it.
