Chapter 102 Preliminary Exploration of Wuping Mountain

Zhiqiao listened, and also laughed along with him rarely.

She sighed a little, "If my little brother can really marry Miss Duan Er, he will be considered blessed... However, my uncle is only the governor of a state, and my little brother is still the youngest son. I am afraid that Xiangye will not be happy with this marriage. Family."

Duan Yi's eyes moved, but she said, "Let my second sister worry about this, she hasn't even said anything yet. I'm looking at her with the right idea."

In a peaceful and prosperous world, Changsun Ling is indeed not enough to look down upon.

But now that the world is in chaos, who dares to say that there will be no sudden changes in the future?At that time, those civil servants who talked loudly in the court may become weak chickens who easily die, and those who hold military power have just become the number one figures in the world.

"After a year and a half, who knows if this family history will be reversed?"

Duan Yi said softly.

Zhiqiao remembered that the Qiao family was the overlord back then, and the family was ruined overnight, so he also sighed and fell silent.

Zhilu over there saw that the atmosphere had become dignified, so he hurriedly ran to the side of the small stove, stirred the ashes to heat up the fire, "I'll make some hawthorn tea for the girl, I ate so much meat tonight, don't worry Kept."

"Lao Niu is really lucky. He married a Niu wife and cooks delicious food. I saw him speak with great anger, maybe he can go back to the barracks again!"

Duan Yi shook her head, it was the first time she followed Gu Congrong to the border town.

After the war, she led her men to collect the corpses. She was not tall at that time, like a child, and led the limping Mr. Qi to retrieve them from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. good people.

Most of them are already dead.Wrap it in a straw mat and bury it on the spot. When the warbler flies and the grass grows in the next spring, it will never be found again.There were only a very small number of them who were still breathing, but they were dug out by her, and they were lucky enough to survive.

Back then, the old cow could carry huge boulders and draw a full bow, but now he looks like a good man, but in fact he can't even move a jar of wine. In the rainy season, the tough man is so painful that he can't straighten up.

"If you can be a mortal, why would you want to be a hero?" Duan Yi sighed softly.

Zhilu scratched his head, most things like this were accompanied by Zhiqiao.All she knew was that after she came back that time, her girl had gained prestige in the army.

In her imagination, Duan Yi must be calling the wind and calling the rain, slapping her face severely, and becoming a hero in the Gu family's army.

"Doesn't the girl want to be a hero? The girl practices martial arts so hard, but she doesn't want to marry a husband and teach her children."

Duan Yi shook her head, she stretched out her hand, and pinched Zhilu's chubby face, "I just want to open up mountains, build bridges across rivers, and see deserted fields...and then raise an iron-eating beast and ride it all over the mountains and plains." Dig bamboo shoots, and then grab a cook..."

Duan Yi thought for a while, "It would be better if the craftsmanship is as good as Cui Zi's. While eating stewed bamboo shoots, fried bamboo shoots, pickled bamboo shoots, while rhyming the foot, and then... then I will listen to your applause! Who told you not to Can sing little songs!"

Zhilu bulged her cheeks, "Miss, you ate the chestnut chicken made by General Cui, and you despise Zhilu's craftsmanship."

Duan Yi smacked her lips, recalled the deliciousness of the jar, and said with a smile, "It's okay, he only has one advantage; unlike you, who knows the way, you only have this one disadvantage."

When Zhilu heard it, her fighting spirit immediately became high. She patted her chest and promised, "I'll go to a restaurant tomorrow to find a chef to learn my skills. I will definitely compare with that little General Cui! When I am in the eyes of the girl, that He is a person without flaws!"

She said, arrogantly, and ran to the side to make hawthorn tea.

……

The days of doing nothing passed quickly, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Duan Shu didn't come over these two days, and Duan Yi rarely found peace.

Just after dawn, Duan Yi rode a horse and left Jincheng.Today is the day I made an appointment with the old ghost to go to Wuping Mountain for the first time.

The street market was still quite sparsely populated, and the peddlers carrying loads were looking for a place in the market, and they were setting out mountain dishes. The sound of horseshoes passed by, and they didn't even raise their heads.

After running two miles out of the city gate, he saw an old banyan tree covering the sky and the sun. Cui Zigeng was already waiting there, leading the horse.He was alone, without any entourage, let alone Mr. Yan who was almost inseparable from him.

Duan Yi turned over and got off the horse. Just as he was about to speak, Cui Zigeng stretched out his hand. He spread out his palm, and there were two round tea eggs on it.

Duan Yi raised her eyebrows, and took it bluntly, "Why haven't you seen Master Yan for a long time?"

Cui Zi withdrew his hand, "No, I haven't seen Uncle Qi."

"He has to prepare for the winter, and he is so busy right now that he doesn't want me to bother him." Duan Yi said, and then said, "You Jiangnan Road, do you have a good winter? Although this is not the Northland , but in winter, there will always be a shortage of food and clothing.”

"When the weather is cold, people with lung diseases will feel sad. Some medicine halls in Jiannan will prepare more medicinal materials that need to be used at this time, and the government will subsidize them with money."

Cui Zi listened more seriously. He watched Duan Yi rub the egg in his hands, and then peeled it lightly, like a twisted flower. After a few turns, the egg shell fell off completely. There was no scum left behind, and I was secretly amazed in my heart.

"No. Have you ever been out of Jiannan?" Cui Zigen said, and added, "Except for the time six years ago."

Duan Yi was taken aback, then shook her head, "Why, are you going to laugh at me as a frog in a well?"

"That's not true. After all, your eyes are not as big and round as those of a frog," Cui Zi said even more jokingly.

The egg Duan Yi had just bitten was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't get it up or down. She quickly picked up the water bag around her waist, took a sip, and swallowed the choking egg together. go down.

"When my father was still alive, he once said that Mr. Gu was like a person who lived in a story book. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do. If you leave Jiannan Road, you will know that this world has long since passed away. It's full of sores and it's not in shape."

"The people living here seem to be living in Taoyuan Township. This place is not only a land of abundance, but also protected by high mountain barriers... If you don't believe me, why don't you follow me to the south of the Yangtze River?"

Duan Yi was stunned, and looked at Cui Zigeng, "Where is the evildoer, who is attached to the human body? I am a teacher of Shushan, and I am best at catching monsters. If you don't leave the evil beast, you will be out of your wits!"

Cui Zi's face darkened even more, "Forget it, there are no monsters in the south of the Yangtze River, so I dare not invite you, a great Buddha."

Duan Yi laughed out loud, she looked forward, raised her hand and waved, "Ah Jun! Have you eaten Chaoshi? I left an egg for you."

Su Yun, who was sitting on the horse, straightened up immediately, and swayed happily. He turned over and jumped off when he was still a few feet away.

"As expected of Duan San, I know that there are no eggs in the morning food I brought! But I brought vegetable pancakes! There are shredded pickles in it!"
