Chapter 132: Changes in the Back Mountain
After running around for two months and returning to the cottage again, Wan Jinlan actually felt at ease.
Now the bandit den has given her a sense of security.
She had long been accustomed to getting up early, and when the sky was dark blue, Wan Jinlan got up, washed up, changed into a set of light blue sleeve ties, and then painted the red birthmark on her face, and painted a layer of black.
She has always shown people in this image in the bandit village, although it is a little ugly, but it is safe. Although Liangzhou is far away from Guanzhong, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no one who knows her, so it is better to be cautious.
The cook in the stove room was already busy, and the fragrance of rice porridge came to her nose.
It was slightly cool in the morning, and the early sun in the eastern sky only showed a little red light before dispelling the deep blue, and the light began to brighten.
Fan Jing poked her head out from next door, and wanted to fetch water with a basin, but when she saw her, she hurriedly approached and shouted "Madam".
Wan Jinlan rubbed her head.
"What are you doing when you get up so early?"
Fan Jing said: "Brother Si Nian has to exercise every day, he gets up earlier and doesn't wait for me. ”
Wan Jinlan nodded, and then walked towards the back mountain.
An Xi came out of nowhere, jumped in front of her, and said in a low voice: "I forgot to tell my master yesterday that the third young lady had already given birth to a girl. ”
Wan Jinlan's heart jumped: "Premature birth? ”
An Xi continued to nod and said: "Master don't worry, the third prince is now quite valued by Li Yue, the third son, and now he is his minister, the third young lady and the little lady have been taken to Mrs. Ji, and now they are in Hua County, and there is someone to take care of them properly." ”
Wan Jinlan glared at him, "The two of them are hostages now!" "How could she not be worried?
Just like Xiao Feng pretended to vote for Li Yanfeng, and personally sent Fan Jing's brother Fan Rui as a hostage, the hostage was to ensure the absolute loyalty of his subordinates.
It's like Fan Jing for Fan Rui.
An Xi touched his nose: "The master doesn't have to worry, his subordinates have seen the third young lady, and now she and the child are very good, Mrs. Ji invited the third young lady to a nurse and mother-in-law." She asked her subordinates to tell you that you are okay now, and you don't have to remember it. ”
Even if Wan Jinlan is worried, he can't snatch people out.
Saying that, she had already arrived at the entrance of the back mountain, but Wan Jinlan didn't find where the entrance that had been opened before was.
The stone wall in front of you and the mountain behind you look seamless, and they are simply one.
An Xi didn't say anything for a while, wanting to see if the master could find the switch.
Wan Jinlan picked at the rock on the stone wall, and it was broken with a fierce twist.
She knew that the entrance was here, so her eyes wandered in front of her, and her hand felt for a long time on the uneven rock wall, but she couldn't find any mechanism.
The passage had been only six feet long, and it should not have been possible to set it on top, so she lowered her head and saw three pieces of broken stone of different sizes rolling randomly in front of her heels.
She saw that the ground under the rightmost stone was a little hollow, so she stepped on it, and with a "click", the passage leading to the back mountain appeared before her.
I don't know who built this door, but at a glance it is seamless.
Fan Jing ran over behind her and walked in after her.
The little girl has grown a lot of flesh than when she first met, and she looks much healthier.
Walking through the passage, the other end is still closed.
Fan Jing shouted, "Uncle Zhang, open the door for me." ”
When the gatekeeper heard Fan Jing's words, he didn't open the door for a while, but asked, "Who are you coming with?" ”
Fan Jing said, "It's Madam." ”
Although Wan Jinlan has been away for two months, he still has a strong presence in the cottage.
At this time, the sky was cyan, the sun was half-sinking in the sky, and the orange-red light illuminated the layout of the back mountain.
The gatekeeper surnamed Zhang was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a black and red face and a tall figure.
After seeing Wan Jinlan, he clasped his fists and shouted "Madam".
Wan Jinlan remembered him, and she was one of her child's play-like military trainers.
Wan Jinlan nodded, and walked inside with Fan Jing and An Xi.
The back mountain has changed greatly, a large front earthen house has been built in the front left, the land is flat, the cooking smoke is ignited, and the smell of minced meat porridge is sent to her nose with the wind. As for the right side, except for the ground where the martial arts arena is flat, the rest of the place is still uneven, and even the weeds have grown green.
The team of 400 people now ran on the uneven road with sacks on their backs, sweating like rain, but gritting their teeth.
On the further right, there are dozens of half-grown teenagers like Wei Sinian, who are taking up their horses.
Fan Jing saw it and saluted Wan Jinlan: "Madam, I'm late again today, so I'll go first." ”
Wan Jinlan nodded, watching her line up and start exercising, although she was small, she looked serious.
Wei Xian was the head of the forbidden army in Kyoto, and now it is easy to train less than 1,000 soldiers.
Wan Jinlan circled around the back mountain, and then climbed to the mountain, trying to find a place to make a firearms workshop.
Firearms are such dangerous things, and it is inevitable that dangers will occur in the process of production, so you must pay attention to safety and hide your eyes and ears.
When he returned to the cottage again, the cook had already made breakfast, and Wei Xian finished the morning class and took Wei Sinian back to eat.
The people in the back mountains also began to eat, and they had half an hour to rest.
Smoke also curls in the cottage, and families have begun to get busy after waking up in the morning.
Mrs. Song put breakfast outside the empty room and asked Wan Jinlan to eat.
Now it is not as good as before, and the meals are not so particular, and in the past few months, it is common for her to sit on the floor and eat dry food.
There were some pickles on the table, a bowl of rice porridge in front of her and Mrs. Song, and a bowl of goat's milk in front of Fan Jing in addition to porridge.
Seeing her staring at the goat's milk, Mrs. Song smiled and asked, "Do you want to drink goat's milk too?" I'll ask Pei Si's family to bring you a bowl too. ”
Wan Jinlan didn't refuse, she remembered that it was not easy for her to get pregnant in the future, she didn't have the conditions to take medicine for two months, and when she finished talking to Mrs. Song and Wei Xian, she had to go to Liu Langzhong to check the pulse.
Whether she wants to have children in the future is one thing, whether she can have children is another, and she still cares about her body.
Mrs. Song raised her voice and shouted, and the cook brought another bowl of hot goat's milk.
"The ewes in our village have lambs, and the milk is very full, if you can't get used to drinking it, there are cow milk sellers in the town."
Wan Jinlan had already smelled the smell, and after drinking the porridge, he poked into the porcelain bowl that had opened his mouth, it was no longer hot, and he simply drank it all.
She drank it completely with her breath closed, and she endured it after drinking it so that she didn't vomit.
Wan Jinlan's age is not as old as the summer breeze, and Mrs. Song saw that Wan Jinlan was just a child like Fan Jing, so she said with a smile: "Next time, let the purchaser buy some almonds and cook them with goat's milk." ”
Wan Jinlan poured a cup of tea, pouted and said, "I have to add some more stone honey." ”
Mrs. Song smiled: "I have two months' account books, and I will give them to you later, Mr. Wei also said that he will pay the salary next month, and we will settle the accounts in a while." ”
Wan Jinlan suddenly had a little headache.
