23 Chapter 23
The one who came out to receive Han Mufei's convoy was Village Chief Li of Mengcun.
He took the silver given by Song Laohan and others, and introduced two families, and the dart master of the dart team naturally wanted to follow separately, so when he moved in, Xiao Dazhuang and Shi Dacheng and He Shouyi followed Song Laohan's family to live in one family, and Han Mufei and Chu Ge'er added a Song sorghum, as well as He Gongzi and his party, followed Zhang Nan and Zhang Song to live in another family.
This is also based on the number of people and the number of players.
Song Laohan's family was naturally unwilling to separate, so they could only be arranged under one roof, and their family had many women and children, so they naturally had more guards than on the other side.
And the three of He Gongzi and his party are all Lang Jun, plus Han Mufei, Chu Ge'er and Song Gaoliang - nominally they are all from the second and fourth rooms, but there is one less dart master, and the forces seem to be more balanced.
Han Mufei naturally had nothing to say.
She was arranged to live with the eldest daughter of this family, Chunhua.
The spring flowers are white and pure, about eighteen or nineteen years old, although they are dressed plainly, but the material is excellent at a glance, and the people are also very energetic.
Seeing Han Mufei, after the introduction, Chunhua had already affectionately called "Sanniang", so Han Mufei had a good impression of her, and the arranged wing room was clean, she was very satisfied, and asked Chunhua to help go to the room to boil water and freshen up her body.
Now the season has entered May, the weather is getting hotter, these days to hurry, although most of the time in the donkey cart, although not tired, but very stuffy, sweating at every turn, but inconvenient, can only boil hot water casually wipe.
Before the end of the world, she bathed every day, even in winter, but after the end of the world, she didn't care about this habit, and when there was a shortage of water, she only washed once a month in half a month.
This is her minimum, more than a month she must find a place to bathe, and if there are no conditions, she must create conditions.
Of course, later wore here to be a Han noblewoman, the conditions were very good, and naturally she could wash it at any time.
Now it's rare to stay in the village, of course, you have to take the opportunity to clean it, otherwise I don't know when the next time will be.
When the water came, Han Mufei opened a set of Langjun's clothes in the baggage and walked behind the wooden barrel separated by a screen, loosened the Wei belt, and was about to take off the outer robe, when he saw a figure walking outside, he couldn't help but stop and shouted: "Wheat? ”
The figure stopped, paused before smiling, "Sanniang, it's me, Chunhua." ”
"Is there something wrong with you out there?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I remember that there is a mess in this house, and I want to clean up first so that you can live more comfortably."
"Oh, then you clean up!"
Han Mufei didn't pay much attention to it, but he still paid attention to the movement outside the screen, and after taking off the robe, he stuffed Wei Belt and the small clothes and arm Chuan that he quickly took off into the robe, and then quickly soaked in the water.
While stroking the water, I didn't forget to prick up my ears and listen to the movement outside.
Don't blame Han Mufei for being careful, after these few days, the habits and vigilance she has maintained for many years in the last days have made her pick it up, and anyone who meets strangers when she meets at the beginning of her life outside will inevitably be a little wary.
Outside, the spring flowers squirmed for a long time before leaving.
After Han Mufei also washed her body hastily, she changed into clean clothes and came out, and then looked at the inside of the room, it seemed that it was indeed much cleaner than when she first came in.
Han Mufei subconsciously looked at the bag he brought in: a bow bag and a burden.
The bow sac, she remembered, was on the only small table in the room, and the burden was on the bed.
Han Mufei glanced at the bow sac, but didn't find anything wrong, and when he saw the burden, he was stunned.
Before she freshened up, she had taken out the sewing kit and the comb from her bag and put them in her hat pocket, but now the comb was still in her hood, but the sewing kit was gone.
Han Mufei rummaged through the baggage: there was only a sheet quilt, a set of unworn women's dresses, a medicine bag, and a pair of cloth shoes, and there were very few things, so she quickly turned over the sewing kit again.
Han Mufei looked at the burden, and then looked at the sewing kit in his hand, and the old man Fu with a pipe in his head went online.
Just now, only Chunhua has entered this room, so, is Chunhua rummaging through her baggage?
And then accidentally put the sewing kit you took out back again?
What was she looking for? Silver?
Han Mufei looked down at the Wei belt around her waist and the small clothes wrapped in her clothes, and couldn't help but sigh: Fortunately, she has a good way of hiding money!
With this level of cognition, when he had a meal with the people of the Chunhua family, Han Mufei had a little more heart, and while pretending to be flattering, he went to look at Zhang Nan and Zhang Song - the three masters and servants of the prince of He still did not eat together with everyone, it is said that they borrowed another stove to start a fire and cooked it for themselves.
However, looking at Zhang Nan and Zhang Song, they behave as usual, and there doesn't seem to be anything unusual, as for Brother Chu and Song Sorghum, they are young and rough, and they are probably rummaged for their burdens, and they won't notice it.
Han Mufei didn't say anything, and after finishing the meal, he told Brother Chu and Song Gaoliang to be careful in everything, and then went back to the house to rest.
Of course, on the surface, it was a break, but in fact, Han Mufei secretly opened a picture and looked at the situation in this village.
These days, because there is enough food in stock and a dart team to escort him, he has gone smoothly all the way, so most of the time, Han Mufei is improving his mental power in the donkey cart, trying to expand the scope of the map.
The results have been encouraging.
Now she can expand the opening radius of the coordinate system to 200 meters.
In addition, after using the coordinate skill, the duration of the image is also extended.
According to her trial and error in the donkey cart these days, after suffering from repeated headaches and fainting, she can now last a quarter of an hour without feeling any discomfort.
So every time he stopped and rested on the road, Han Mufei tried to continue to extend the opening state of the donkey cart, whether in or outside the donkey cart, to exercise his coordinate skills, and second, to be on guard at any time.
It's just that, for the time being, she can only open the picture three times at most, and after each use, it takes half an hour of cooling.
At this time, the geographical environment of the entire Mengcun Village was presented on the map after Han Mufei opened the map.
Mengcun is indeed not big, looking at the number of scattered houses in the village, there are about 20 or so households at most, and the red dots representing the villagers at this time are in the houses and some are walking outside.
Han Mufei saw that there was nothing abnormal in the village, so he went to check the surroundings of Meng Village, and then saw a bunch of red dots gathered in a certain house in the west.
So many people gathered at the back of the village?
Han Mufei looked at those red dots, it was already night now, it couldn't be the people in the village who were doing some kind of gathering, right?
Han Mufei couldn't help but shout, "Spring flower? ”
"Hey, it's here, Sanniang!"
Chunhua came, but Han Mufei couldn't ask, but she had to ask, so she asked pretendedly: "When we came into the village, we saw a room in the west of Nameng Village, which looked particularly majestic, so who lives there?" ”
Chunhua was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Sanniang, you are talking about there, that is the ancestral hall of our village, which is naturally more magnificent than other houses." ”
"Is it an ancestral hall?" Han Mufei suddenly asked, "Then, can I go and take a look?" Bow down to your ancestors, and thank you for taking us in for the night. ”
"Sanniang, are you joking? How can this ancestral hall be casually let people in? ”
"Can't just go in? Because I'm an outsider? ”
"Of course not, the ancestral hall is only open when the village holds red and white ceremonies, and it is usually locked, and it is easy for people to enter, and it is not good to surprise the ancestors of our Meng Village."
"Oh." Han Mufei nodded, "Then, won't the ancestral hall be open tonight?" ”
"Sanniang, why do you think the ancestral hall will be open tonight?" Chunhua asked with a smile, watching Han Mufei's eyelids jump.
"Today is a normal day, huh?" Han Mufei didn't answer, and asked rhetorically.
"Naturally, it's an ordinary day, and it won't open."
Han Mufei apologized with a smile, "I'll ask casually, what if it's an unusual day?" I was born in the capital city all along, and I had never seen an ancestral hall built in the village, and I saw that it was built very different from the other houses in the village, so I was curious and wanted to open my eyes to see it. ”
"The ancestral hall of the lower riba people, there is nothing to see." Chunhua saw that Han Mufei still wanted to ask, so she simply said: "It's night today, the ancestral hall is closed and no one is there, and it won't be opened, Sanniang, don't think about it, right?" ”
"Oh, I've said it all, just ask! I settled. Han Mufei smiled, obediently lay down on the couch, closed his eyes, and the open map in his mind kept showing that the red dots in the ancestral hall were very active.
What do you say that no one is closed, and you open your eyes and talk nonsense?
But what are these Mongolian villagers doing here?
Han Mufei's intuition told her that it must be fine, and she felt that Chunhua on the side had been looking at herself, she didn't dare to move, closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep soon.
On the map, she looked at the red dot beside her for a moment, then got up and left, and then heard the sound of the door closing.
Han Mufei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the red dot representing the spring flower on the map, walked out of the courtyard, and walked straight towards the ancestral hall in the westward direction that Fang just said, and finally converged with the red dots in the ancestral hall.
Han Mufei's words in contact with Chunhua and his behavior of rummaging through his own baggage, with the inexplicable and wonderful assembly of these villagers, Han Mufei has reason to believe that perhaps, the reason why these villagers gathered was to discuss how to deal with them?
For, money?
Han Mufei is also well-informed, and it is not uncommon for the villagers in the village to rob money against passing merchant convoys.
So, their group has become the target of Meng Village?
But Chunhua didn't find money and silver on her!
In addition, if Song Laohan's family had also been checked by them, they would know that in fact, their group was very poor and had little money at all.
So, even if they become targets, they should be investigated to find out what is unprofitable in them, and then give up, right?
In the ancestral hall, the hosts who were responsible for checking the money of Han Mufei and his party also reported like this.
However, one of the people in the crowd suddenly asked, "If they really don't have any money, how can they afford to hire a dart team?" ”
