Chapter 59: Partridge Mountain
"What's hidden in the mountain?" Song Qingyou was even more curious, and looked at Xiao Qishu with sparkling eyes.
"It is rumored that there is a huge treasure left by the emperor of the previous dynasty buried on Partridge Mountain, which is several times more than the national treasury." Xiao Qishu's voice became a little distant, and his eyes kept staring in one direction, as if he was looking at something through the void.
Song Qingyou paid attention to what Xiao Qishu was looking at, and when she heard about the huge treasure, her eyes had already begun to glow.
Treasure! Or several times more than the treasury!
If she finds her, she will make a fortune!
Oh no!
Song Qingyou smiled and smiled, and suddenly paused.
She looked at Xiao Qishu suspiciously, "Since the emperor knows that there are treasures in Partridge Mountain, why do you want us to dig a canal?" Shouldn't he seal up that mountain and order people to dig up treasures? ”
Hearing Song Qingyou ask, a touch of appreciation appeared in Xiao Qishu's eyes, as if to say: It's okay, it's not so stupid.
Song Qingyou seemed to guess what he was thinking, his eyes widened suddenly, and he raised his hand and punched Xiao Qishu.
This punch is not painful or itchy, but it seems to be flirting.
Xiao Qishu felt more and more cute about Song Qingyou, but about Song Qingyou's question, he didn't say a word after laughing.
Song Qingyou saw that Xiao Qishu didn't answer, and didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone has secrets in their hearts that they can't tell others, and she has them herself, so there's no need to get to the bottom of everything.
Thinking like this, Song Qingyou took out two from his baggage, ate one for himself, and handed the other to Xiao Qishu's mouth.
Xiao Qishu was a little surprised.
He thought that Song Qingyou would ask to the end, and even if he didn't ask, he might be dissatisfied with his evasion and refusal to answer.
But she didn't say anything, and she wasn't half unhappy.
The wild fruit exuded a sweet aroma, and I didn't know what to think, Xiao Qishu didn't reach out to catch it, but directly opened his mouth to bite it.
The soft lip flap inadvertently touched the fingertips, and both of them were stunned.
Song Qingyou's eyes widened, and he withdrew his hand with a whoosh.
At this time, the officials finished discussing and beckoned everyone to leave.
Song Qingyou pretended to be calm, got up with his burden, and didn't look at Xiao Qishu again.
She wanted to pretend she didn't care, but she wanted to cover it up.
Xiao Qishu chewed the wild fruit quietly, but his eyes kept falling on Song Qingyou's back.
Xiao Yiran in front turned around, just in time to see this scene, he saw a rare softness in Xiao Qishu's eyes.
Could it be that Xiao Qishu really likes Song Qingyou?
As soon as this thought came out, Xiao Yiran's heart swelled with strong unwillingness.
During the period of exile, he changed from his initial dislike for Song Qingyou to his current inexplicable attitude.
Maybe even he didn't notice the change in his heart, but when he saw Song Qingyou and Xiao Qishu behaving intimately, his subconscious reaction had already revealed his true thoughts.
Song Qingyou shouldn't be like this!
She should always revolve around him, even if she marries Xiao Qishu, it is because she loves him Xiao Yiran, and she retreats to the second.
Song Qingyou married Xiao Qishu because she wanted to be closer to him!
Xiao Yiran gradually fell into a paranoid thought, his eyes were fixed on Song Qingyou, faintly revealing a little stubbornness.
"Brother, let's go." Xiao Ningning saw Xiao Yiran standing still, and raised her hand to push him.
Xiao Yiran came back to his senses at this time, lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes, and set off with the team.
Because it was a temporary diversion, the road ahead was not investigated in advance, and if you wanted to reach it in one day, you had to take the mountain road.
The mountain road is treacherous, and there are many unknown dangers, so they can only grope their way forward.
The Xiao family complained about this, but Song Qingyou enjoyed it.
She found many herbs in the mountains, some of which were rare and rare.
Song Qingyou even discovered herbs that could cure Xiao Qishu's sepsis.
She carefully dug it out, and while no one was paying attention to her, she directly retracted into the space.
The mountain road was difficult to walk, and everyone lost their strength after walking for more than an hour.
The official was also tired, thinking that he could arrive before dark, so he asked the big guy to rest in place for a while.
Xiao Ningning leaned on the bearded official not far from the bearded official for the sake of eating for two bites, and hooked him with his eyes from time to time, which made the bearded man feel itchy.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't delay too long at this time, I'm afraid he would have dragged Xiao Ningning into the forest a long time ago.
In order to make Xiao Ningning work harder at night, the bearded man took out a thick dough cake from his baggage and threw it to Xiao Ningning.
Xiao Ningning took it, and secretly rubbed it with Tang Yulian and Xiao Yiran.
Xiao Yiran looked at the cake that his sister exchanged for her body, and a faint disgust flashed in her eyes, but she couldn't resist the hunger in her stomach, so she still took it and ate it.
Taking advantage of the time of rest, Song Qingyou consciously entered the space, studying whether those precious herbs that were not used could be exchanged for things.
When the herbs were put in, the vending machine beeped twice, the page where you could choose to redeem items flashed, and the gray icon that had not been unlocked before actually lit up.
Didn't you expect herbs to unlock exchange items?
What a bonus!
Song Qingyou swiped back the page and found that the newly unlocked items included medicine, food, and various tools.
It's just that these items are a little more expensive than the previous ones, and there is a detector among them, which is very functional, and it should be detectable by both metal and water sources, but it costs a hundred taels of gold to exchange!
Golden! Song Qingyou blinked, turned his head and flipped through the pile of things he had scavenged before.
Most of them are silver jewelry, not even gold jewelry.
It's also too expensive......
Song Qingyou regretted putting all the gold from Huang Xiaocui back.
But Huang Xiaocui's belongings were all snatched from the people, and they were the hard-earned money of the people, how could she really take them for herself.
After thinking about it, I still have to find a way to get some gold.
Song Qingyou left the space, and his mood instantly dropped a lot.
Xiao Qishu was keenly aware of the emotional changes of the people around him, and glanced sideways at her.
The two looked at each other, and Song Qingyou opened his mouth to ask Xiao Qishu if he had any gold, but after thinking about it, this thing even had to rely on her for food and drink, how could there be gold?
Alas, she was still too poor.
Song Qingyou sighed in his heart, fell at the end of the team, and walked forward without love.
After crossing the mountain and walking for another hour, they reached Partridge Mountain.
Partridge Mountain is very large, not a single mountain, but several mountains connected together, and there are several villages at the foot of the mountain, all of which are large villages with more than 100 households.
This is also one of the reasons why the imperial court sent people to dig a canal in Partridge Mountain.
There are too many people and many fields, and if there is really no harvest due to drought, I am afraid that the imperial court will also collect a lot less taxes during the autumn harvest.
When they reached the nearest village, it was already dark, and the sky was dark and dreary, and there was not half a star in sight, which made people feel depressed.
When the village chief heard that they were sent by the imperial court to help dig the canal, his attitude became enthusiastic to the naked eye.
"Come on, come on, although these two rooms have been empty, they are still clean, you live first, and I will go and have someone prepare food for you." The village chief led the people to a courtyard at the head of the village.
