Remembering Mu Yirong, who was attacked last night, asked with a worried face whether Seocho was injured?

Seocho, whose lips were bloodless, shook her head, saying that she was just feeling a little tired, and that everything else was fine.

Mu Yirong, who breathed a sigh of relief, still frowned, and asked Seocho to lie down and rest and sleep.

Ruicao, who shook her head and refused, told Mu Yirong that she had gone to track down the people who attacked them last night, and although she didn't find out where they were hiding, she should be able to find them if she searched around there.

Because he was worried that the gang would switch camps again after they found out, Seocho Dao had better set off now, Mu Yirong, who looked embarrassed, held Seocho's hand, and said that although he wanted to catch that gang of bandits as soon as possible, he was more concerned about Seocho's body, and hoped that she would not force herself, if she felt uncomfortable, she must say it, don't endure it.

Seocho took advantage of the situation and fell into Mu Yirong's arms, saying that she had already meditated and rested last night, as long as she ate something and replenished the energy consumed in her body, it would be absolutely no problem to kill a cow with one punch.

Mu Yirong, who was amused by Seocho, poked Seocho's forehead with his hand, saying that they should go and eat some food now, and then go to the group of guys who had the audacity to sneak up on them.

Seocho, who stood up, looked at Mu Yirong who was walking out, his heart suddenly throbbed inexplicably, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered the nightmare he had last night, and couldn't help shouting: "Brother Yirong." ”

Mu Yirong, who turned his head, smiled and asked what was wrong, Ruicho, who trotted forward two steps, did not speak, took Mu Yirong's hand and held it tightly.

Mu Yirong smiled at each other, took Seocho's hand, and walked out in the morning light that shone into the door.

The group of people who attacked Mu Yirong and Seocho at night did not cause much noise, perhaps because the post man slept to death, except for Mu Yirong and Seocho, no one knew that someone attacked the guests in the post house last night.

Except for Mu Yirong and Seocho, there are no envoys or other guests here. The two of them walked around the post station, and almost every post man was questioned, but they didn't get any clues at all, so they had to say goodbye to the post man and go out of the city directly.

According to Seocho's recollections, following the route of the group of people who fled yesterday, the two people who left Chizhou City walked all the way to the southeast.

After a light snowfall, the grass is all over the ground, the cool breeze is blowing, the sky is cloudy, and it seems to be raining.

Because of the cold wind blowing on horseback these days, Mu Yirong felt that his bones were full of cold air, and on a cloudy day, he felt uncomfortable all over his body.

Seocho was also a little unenergetic, probably because he was hit by the incense last night, which had some sequelae, Mu Yirong wanted to be concerned about his two sentences, but when he saw that Seocho carefully observed the appearance around the grass, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth and checked them carefully.

Last night, Seocho felt very unwell when he chased after the place where the grass was decaying, so he stopped tracking.

Today, the sky is dark, the visibility is a little low, and the withered grass around is almost waist-high, so it is very difficult to search for traces.

However, Seocho, who is comparable to a search and rescue dog, quickly found the traces of someone walking on the grass, and Mu Yirong followed the traces and walked cautiously and vigilantly.

There was a large stretch of waist-length meadow as far as the eye could see, and after passing through it, a hillside appeared in front of it.

Standing on the hillside, you can see a village in the northeast direction on the left-hand side, which should be Qiupu County, and in the southeast direction on the right-hand side, there is a mountain with dense forests, as far as the eye can see, and you can vaguely see the sharp top of the mountain inserted into the sky.

Since they discovered Qiupu County, Mu Yirong and Ruicao went to Qiupu County according to their original itinerary.

Qiupu County was newly built a village decades ago, when Chizhou City was still called "Qiupu County".

There is a large area of fertile land in the southeast of Akiura-gun, and some tenants have hired long-term workers to cultivate the fertile fields, because there are too many fields, so in order to prevent birds from eating millet and pigs from arching the land, and thieves from stealing grain in autumn, houses have been built near the fields for long-term workers or field keepers to live in.

Later, for the sake of convenience, many long-term workers and their families built larger and stronger houses around the fertile fields to live, and gradually, villages were formed.

Later, Akiura County was renamed Chiju Castle, and originally there was no name, but the small village attached to Akiura County composed of most of the Changgong and Shoutian people was officially named Akiura County.

It is said to be a small county town, but it is not much larger than ordinary villages, and the population is not too large, and basically every household is related.

When the village was first established in Qiupu County, it may have felt that the surrounding area was too empty, so it began to plant trees around the village.

At that time, the nearby mountains were almost entirely filled with pine trees, but the pine trees grew slowly, so paulownia trees were planted around the village that were particularly suitable for the local soil and grew quickly.

The paulownia tree is a cluster of trumpet flowers, which are spectacular when they bloom at full bloom, and now that the winter is harsh, the flowering period has passed, but the leaves are still lush and green, and they are not showing signs of decay. Like a group of green guards, guarding Qiupu County.

There seemed to be few outsiders here in Qiupu County, and when Mu Yirong and Ruicao entered this small county town, almost all of them cast a wary look at the two.

In Qiupu County, where there are less than 1,000 households, the city defense is almost a decoration, only there are gates in the north and south, and there are two guards at one city gate, yawning and looking lazy.

But when they found out that Mu Yirong and the two foreigners were going to enter the city, they immediately waited for them and dutifully conducted a very detailed interrogation.

Hearing that the two were officials from Dali Temple in the capital, the city gate guards hurriedly led the two to the county yamen.

Qiupu County Yamen said that it was a yamen, in fact, there was no difference from ordinary people, except for the plaque hanging high in the yamen, there was no soap for the yamen, and there was no county master, and in the corner of one side, you can also see dried potato chips and dried sweet potatoes, it is just like a shop selling local products.

Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, who was dressed in a dilapidated official mansion, heard that someone from Dali Temple in Shangjing City was coming, and hurriedly ran out of the back hall, and said very sorry that it was winter, and it was the time of the annual pickles, and he was accompanying the old people in the county to pickle vegetables.

The head of a county is actually picking pickles with the elderly, which is really down-to-earth!

Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, saw what Mu Yirong and the others were thinking, and said with a smile that their county town was small and small, and the neighbors got along very harmoniously on weekdays, and there were no disputes, even if it was some inconsequential trivial matters, there were not a few things that could be handled in the yamen all year round.

Most of the time, he, the head of a county, either helps other people's families repair houses, or feeds breeding pigs with cubs, and rarely sits in the yamen to work.

Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, was talking, when suddenly a group of aunts poured out of the back hall, all wearing aprons, rolling up their sleeves, stretching out their white-soaked hands, and asked Duan Linrui of Qiupu County with a smile, is there another coolie to help with pickles?

Because of the harmony of the neighborhood, everyone gathers together every year to unify pickles, and the quantity is very large.

The aunts, who were suffering from back pain because of the lack of manpower, heard someone coming and thought it was someone who came to help with pickles, but they saw two strangers.

The aunts who were originally smiling on their faces, after seeing the two strangers, Mu Yirong and Seocho, the smiles on their faces disappeared all of a sudden, just like meerkats who heard something, staring at the two of them vigilantly.
