Chapter 0083 - Flash Flood Blocking the Road
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw him sleeping funny, and Li Yuankang stepped forward with a smile and lifted the wrapper: "Get up quickly! You slept on the table and smelled, but you told us how to have breakfast?"
Yu Qiluo also smiled: "You broke the window, don't you even let go of the table now?" shopkeeper, come and ask him to lose money!"
Mu Ningzhi listened to Yu Qiluo's words, and said secretly in his heart: You were not in the room at that time, but how did you know that the window was broken by Zhou Shaobai? It turned out to be your ghost idea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhou Shaobai rubbed his sleepy eyes, but saw that he was only wearing a close-fitting middle coat, and in the morning, it was very indecent somewhere, but there were the other four people standing around, and suddenly a spirit woke up, and quickly grabbed the furoshiki and blocked it on his waist and complained: "Senior Brother Li, last night I was all wet on the futon, and it was hard and cold to sleep here all night, you don't have mercy, but you still come to make fun of me!"
Li Yuankang and Yuqiluo both laughed, and Zhang Xiaofeng said: "Go upstairs and change your clothes, it's too ugly." ā
So Zhou Shaobai went upstairs to change his clothes, packed his luggage and went down to the hall.
The restaurant has already prepared breakfast, and several people sit around the table, eating and talking.
Mu Ningzhi looked at Yu Qiluo and said lightly: "Jade girl, from today on, you will join us." ā
Yu Qiluo hung out of the window yesterday and already knew it, but at this time it was just an "oh" sound.
"Uncle Mu, this matter is not appropriate. Zhang Xiaofeng put down his chopsticks.
Mu Ningzhi said: "What do you think?"
"We are carrying a heavy responsibility on this trip, how can we bring an unrelated person to move forward together?" Zhang Xiaofeng shook his head and hugged his fists, "I implore Uncle Mu to give more consideration." ā
Yu Qiluo listened to the willow eyebrows upside down, and said in her heart, this woman with a straight face agreed, but you came out to make trouble?
She was about to have a seizure, but Mu Ningzhi said: "I want to take her forward, naturally I have my considerations, I have made up my mind, and there is no need to mention this matter." ā
Zhang Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and said, "Since that's the case, then I have no objection." ā
Seeing this, Yuqiluo smiled at Mu Ningzhi, which was regarded as a thank you gift.
But Mu Ningzhi turned a blind eye and only said to everyone: "Okay, in that case, everyone hurry up and have breakfast, and we will be in a hurry later." ā
Yuqiluo rolled her eyes, finally didn't speak, picked up the bowl and gulped down the porridge.
After a while, after everyone finished breakfast, they picked up their luggage and went to the shopkeeper to pay the room money. Zhou Shaobai made a bitter face, took out a few more copper plates, and handed them to the shopkeeper, which was regarded as a loss of money for other people's windows. He shook his head, looked at the deflated money bag and sighed, and then walked out of the inn with everyone.
Several people took out their horses from the shed, turned over on their horses, and headed towards the official road.
After the rain, the blue sky is washed, the grass on the side of the road is like condensation, the cool breeze is blowing, the weeping willows are like smoke, everyone walks all the way to watch the scenery, only feels indescribably comfortable, Zhou Shaobai Yuqiluo and Li Yuankang The three of them laughed constantly, even Zhang Xiaofeng and Mu Ningzhi were relaxed, and the trip to the capital was like an outing after the rain.
After walking for a long time, I saw a big wooden sign standing next to the official road in front, two soap-clothed officials were standing on the left and right, and many merchants were gathering in front, pointing at the wooden sign, and there were many discussions.
So a few people tightened the reins and walked slowly, and when they arrived at the wooden sign, they saw a notice posted on it, which read: Last night's torrential rain and flash flood broke out, and the five-mile stone bridge in front was damaged. In the past, merchants chose their own way to come and go, so don't wait in this space to prevent mistakes.
A merchant waved at the official next to the wooden sign and said, "May I ask my lord, how long will it take for this stone bridge to be repaired?"
The official had obviously answered many of these questions, and was very impatient: "Who knows! Don't gather here, hurry up and find another way!"
A merchant next to him said: "The bridge here was also washed out once the year before last, and that time I waited stupidly for a month in a nearby town and didn't repair it, and finally had to take a detour." I advise the big guys, don't wait here anymore, it's just empty. ā
"This big brother, let me inquire, if you want to go to the capital, how should you take a detour?" someone asked.
"Go to the capital, just go south here, and when you get to Changming, you can go by the official road there. ā
The man was surprised: "If you want to take a detour to Changming, then you have to walk hundreds of miles!"
"It's better than waiting here for nothing!"
When Zhou Shaobai heard this, he interjected: "Why don't you go north? I have checked the map, and I remember that there is a valley called Mochou Valley to the north of here, about fifty miles away from here, through the Mochou Valley, isn't it to the other side of the river?"
As soon as his question was raised, the merchants were suddenly silent, and even the two officials suddenly changed color, and the atmosphere was very strange for a while.
Zhou Shaobai was surprised: "What's wrong with you?"
"Little brother, I see that you are all young, obviously rarely go out, and you don't know the customs here. I tell you, the Valley of Mochou will never be gone. An older merchant spoke.
Zhou Shaobai dismounted and hugged his fists at him and said, "The kid is ignorant, please make it clear." ā
Seeing that he was polite, the merchant spoke: "Alas, little brother, you don't know, that Mochou Valley also has a nickname, called Guillotine Valley." ā
Hearing the words "Guillotine Valley", the people around them dispersed one after another, as if these three words were very terrifying, so that they could not avoid them.
Yuqi Luoqi said: "Uncle, how did these people hear that Guillotine Gu left in a hurry?"
The merchant shook his head: "Oh, girl, listen to me." Mochou Valley is also one of the passages, especially in this rainy summer, once the flash flood breaks the stone bridge, most of the people who pass by here will take a detour from Mochou Valley. But about ten years ago, none of the people who entered the Mochou Valley could come out alive. ā
Speaking of which, except for the two officials around, the rest of the merchants had already gone completely.
Yu Qiluo was curious, and asked urgently, "Are they all headless?"
The merchant nodded again and again: "Exactly, it is exactly! Those who went in at the beginning seemed to have disappeared." So their relatives and friends also entered the Mochou Valley to look for them, but this time it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no news, so no one dared to go in to look for someone. Who knew that after a while, someone found many headless carrion corpses outside the entrance of Mochou Valley! Looking at the clothes of those carrioning corpses, they were all those who had disappeared inexplicably. So all of a sudden, rumors flew all over the sky, some said that there were Jiangyang thieves wanted by the imperial court hidden in Mochou Valley, some said that there were ogres living in it, and some said that it was actually a secret imperial mausoleum, and those people were killed by the guards by mistake......"
At this time, an official suddenly glared at him and said, "You old man, what nonsense are you talking about! You dare to slander the royal family in front of me, you are fucking tired and crooked?"
"No, no, no, no......" The merchant panicked and hurriedly waved his hand and ran.
