Chapter Seventy-Five: Avoiding Eyes and Ears
The young lady walked for a while, and went up to a marginal mountain in the southeast. After receiving the supernatural powers, slowing down the pace and redetermining the direction, Ma Neck Village had already seen it very clearly.
Miss didn't want to make too much noise, so she slowly mobilized her real strength and ran down the mountain, and when she slowed down, Miss saw some traces of the army hunting fox martens.
Now the sky is bright, the young lady can see very clearly, there are seven military camps on the road from Matou Village to Maneck Village, four are near the village, three are between the two villages, blocking the mountain communication road outside the mountain, and now it can be seen that the team of Jin soldiers in the barracks has entered the ravine, each team has about 300 people, I don't know where to search today.
The young lady deliberately wanted to avoid the Jin soldiers, so she jumped off the tree and went in the direction she was optimistic about.
The young lady didn't want to walk during the day, and she walked too fast and the movement was too big, so she wanted to find a place to rest and determine the itinerary by the way.
Around noon, the young lady came to the head of the village of Ma Neck Village, found a place to make a mark for Mo Qing, and the young lady entered the village.
There are more than 50 households in this village, the young villagers follow the army into the mountains to fight the autumn wind, the old ones sit at the door wearing fox skin robes and hats to bask in the sun and gossip, and see a beautiful young man wearing a tiger skin hat, wearing a purple robe, pedaling tiger skin boots, and hanging a sword barrel around his waist.
The young lady walked up to a few old men and arched her hand and said, "May I ask a few old people, this is Ma Neck Village?"
An old man said, "Exactly, I don't know why the adults are here?" At that time, the people who wore swords were celebrities, so the old men called Miss Lord, but they didn't know the origin of the Miss.
The young lady said, "Passing by here, looking for a place to rest, I wonder which old man is free at home?"
When the old men heard what the young lady said, they all said, "My lord, you can go to my house to rest." ”
The young lady looked at a kind-faced old man and said, "The old man is tired of leading the way, and the contemptible person has thanked him first." After speaking, he bowed to the old man.
The old man said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite, please come with me." After saying that, he took the young lady to his house.
The young lady asked as she walked, "May I ask where is the old man's horse neck village to the south?"
The old man said, "Eighty miles to the south is Qianleg Village, where are you going?"
The young lady said: "I want to go to Jincheng, I don't know how many villages there are on the way?"
The old man said: "There are also Hind Leg Village and Mawei Village, after these two villages, you will go south to Jincheng." ”
The young lady said, "Thank you for informing." ”
After walking through several alleys, the old man came to a large adobe courtyard, stepped forward and opened the door, and said, "My lord, please come in." ”
When the young lady entered the courtyard, she saw a row of small adobe houses on the south wall of the door, two adobe houses against the west wall, six main houses on the north side, and firewood and other things piled up in the yard, and a clothes pole with two fox skins hanging on them, and a pool of blood under the fox skins, and an old woman heard movement in the house and asked, "Who?"
The old man shouted, "Here comes the guest." After speaking, he entered the courtyard and led the young lady into a main room, which was not big, two rooms, the outer house and the inner room added up to thirty square meters.
The old man led the young lady to the back room, pointed to the kang with a layer of mats, and said, "Your Excellency, you can rest here, and I will go and prepare some food." ”
As he was talking, three people came in the outhouse, it was the old woman, and two were the old man's daughter-in-law, and the other was the old man's daughter-in-law. In those days, families were very hospitable, and when guests came, not only family members had to come to visit, but neighbors would also come to visit guests.
The old man introduced the family to the young lady one by one, and was about to go to cook, but he heard a voice in the courtyard and said, "Old man Wang, I heard that there are guests from your house, where are they?"
The old man shouted out from inside the house, "Here it is." And the man walked in.
Old man Wang introduced the young lady again: "This is Zhao Fu, the head of this village. ”
Zhao Fu bowed his hand to meet the young lady, and said to Old Man Wang: "There are guests in the village, and I will prepare to deliver the food later, so you don't care." ”
Old man Wang said, "Okay. ”
The young lady said: "Don't bother, I'll just eat some." ”
In this place, the young lady does not want to be different, this is the advantage of joining the WTO, you must follow the local customs, and the mood grows naturally.
Zhao Fu said: "Looking at the image of adults is not an ordinary person, don't dislike my wilderness mountain village." ”
The young lady said, "I ate some food on the way, I don't feel hungry, I want to rest for a while, I can just prepare some simple food at night when the village chief is tired, I want to sleep first." ”
Now the young lady has found that waking up after the heart sutra is more effective than sleeping well, so she said this.
Zhao Fu and Old Man Wang said together: "Then we won't disturb the adults to rest." With that, the two of them exited the house and closed the door.
When the young lady saw them leaving, she put away her bags, sat cross-legged on the kang and played the Prajna Heart Sutra, she must have woken up and it was past the unitary hour.
There were various voices in the courtyard, and the young lady listened to it, got off the kang, opened the door and went out.
First looked at Mapo Mountain, and the whereabouts of the monster I saw in the morning were still there. So she looked down, and saw that there was another fox skin on the clothes pole, and there were still drops of blood falling, and the young lady couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she turned her eyes to other places.
Old man Wang was in the courtyard with a man, and when he saw the young lady appear at the door, the old man Wang led the man to come over to pay homage, and the young lady already knew that this was the son of the old man Wang who had just returned from fighting the autumn wind with the army, and asked, "What time is it?"
The old man said, "It's almost four o'clock in the unitary hour, but the adults wake up and feel hungry?"
The young lady was not happy in her heart, and said, "I don't feel hungry yet." ”
After finishing speaking, he went back to the house and played a ridiculous game on the kang. After playing the absurd play, I was still in good spirits, so I played again, and while I was playing, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and I did the work of spitting.
There was a knock at the door, and the young lady said, "Please come in!"
Zhao Fu and Old Man Wang came in, Zhao Fu took a food box, entered the house and opened it and said, "Wilderness Mountain Village, there are no good things, please don't dislike it, use some food." ”
The young lady sat down and said, "I'm tired." ”
After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and ate it, this meal was not tight, which frightened the village chief and the old man Wang, a few mouthfuls of stewed chicken were gone, a bowl of porridge was gone, a few big buns were also gone, and the pickles were all gone.
The young lady devoured it, felt better, reached into her arms, took out a handful of shell coins, and said, "Thank you for the hospitality of the old man and the village chief, please accept this reward." ”
The village chief and the old man Wang refused to accept anything, and the young lady took out a burlap bag and handed it to the old man Wang: "Bother the old man to prepare some steamed buns and pickles, even if I respect the old man with this money, please don't shirk it." ”
The old man said, "It's hard for me to push back when you say that, I don't know when you need to prepare food?" After speaking, he took the burlap bag and a handful of shell coins.
The young lady said, "I'm going to leave later, the sooner the better." ”
Zhao Fu said: "Adults walk at night, and it is easy to encounter fierce beasts on the road, so it is better to rest for another night." ”
The young lady said: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of beasts." ”
Zhao Fu said: "Adults are not afraid of fierce beasts, but also be careful of monsters, a few days ago more than one in the village was killed by monsters." ”
