Qingchuan History

Chapter 175

The black soil is restored to be integrated with the surrounding soil.

This area is obviously rarely visited by people, and the soil is relatively loose, so there is no need to compact it. At first glance, it looks the same as before.

"Is there really no need to bulge it up? No need to put up a sign? What kind of burial is this?"

"Need not."

She doesn't care about her own name.The surname Shangguan is not uncommon.Even in the end, maybe even the word "姌" was used in a vain way.

Come alone, leave alone, I think that's what she meant.

Gu Chunfeng squatted back to the open space, took out a purple sachet from his arms, and said softly:

"This fragrance has been with you for many years, even if you are not rare now, at least it is a familiar smell. This place is strange to you, let it accompany you for the first few days."

As she spoke, she opened the sachet and poured it into the palm of her hand. What came out included some grass leaves of different colors, very finely ground ocher powder, and some slightly larger black particles——

Like, seeds?
She was not sure, she lowered her head and sniffed lightly at her palm, but of course found nothing——

All the powder particles exude the same smell, presumably because they have been mixed together for a long time?But the fragrance is really special and rich, but I don't know if these spices are from 18 years ago, or if Ah Xie changed them after these years.

She shook her head lightly, didn't think about it anymore, stood up, and sprinkled the handful of spices on the land where Auntie died.

Just stop here.This sentence sounded in her heart, she didn't know if it was she who said it, or Auntie was saying it to her.

Standing there for a long time, he finally felt that everything that should be done and could be done had been done, and it seemed appropriate, so he turned to Ji Qi and said, "Let's go."

Ji Qi was a little uneasy, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing, bowed towards the land, and said solemnly:
"Farewell, sister, sister. Take care."

The carriage went all the way down, and kicks reverberated in the open mountains.Gu Chunfeng lifted the heavy curtains, and the cold wind quickly poured into the car, but she didn't feel cold, but she developed a lot of love for Beiguo Qiuliang.

She had never seen such a dark night, but the stars were surprisingly bright, brighter than any starry sky she had seen in Jidu for 20 years.

"Is it late already?"

The girl's voice came from the wind, Ji Qi turned his head, but saw that the door curtain was still hanging heavily.

"It's half past Yinshi. Do you think it's particularly dark? The hour before dawn is always the darkest."

Chunfeng nodded silently, then stayed for a while: "It's Yin's time already? Didn't Shen Ji tell us to go back before the ugly time ends at the latest?"

Ji Qi couldn't talk about the previous situation. He couldn't bear to urge her, so he replied solemnly: "I have contacted half an hour ago. He has to go back and reply. We can't wait any longer. We know that our entry is smooth, and there is no problem if we want to go back and forth. Just tell us to go back as soon as possible." After entering the territory of Qi State, there will be hidden guards waiting there."

Chunfeng didn't say much anymore, but with the cold wind, he thoroughly blown his whole body.It wasn't until she got down the mountain that the wind weakened, she gradually became a little tired, and her stomach started to growl, and then she remembered that she hadn't eaten well in the past two days, so she lifted the curtain and asked:

"At this time, will there be food?"

Walking to the flat ground, Ji Qi’s concentration was mostly relaxed, sleepiness was slowly coming, and he was slightly startled when he heard the words: "Are you hungry?" He forced himself to think for a moment, "At this time, there should be no restaurants. Open, I don’t know if there are any in the inn.”

"We don't stay in the store, so we go in and ask for food, is that okay?"

"Just give the money. A businessman has money to make, so it doesn't matter whether you stay in the shop or eat. Two copper coins are exchanged for a few steamed buns. You can see if he can do this kind of business."

Chunfeng thought it was reasonable, and suddenly remembered something: "You haven't slept for two nights, if you find a suitable inn, I will eat, and you can take a nap."

Ji Qi held the rein in his right hand, raised his left hand and waved it: "It's okay. If you want to sleep, you have to wait until you enter the state of Qi. According to what you and Shen Ji said before, I'm not sure if I stay here for a long time."

"You don't ask too many questions."

"As a minister, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, especially in asking questions. My father said."

The two of them walked for more than a dozen miles without saying a word, and finally saw a three-story inn with bright lights under the eaves of the gate. The window sills peeked out dimly.

"You wait in the car, I'll ask."

Ji Qi stopped to get off his horse and talked while walking, but Chunfeng jumped out of the car as soon as he lifted the curtain, and quickly followed:

"I'm with you."

It was only then that Ji Qi realized that his surroundings were pitch black. Except for this inn, there was no light on the whole street, and all the lights in every house were extinguished.Thinking about it, she didn't dare to wait outside alone.

So they walked over and knocked on the door twice, but no one answered.Knock again, still no response.

Ji Qi frowned, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open.

Entering the living room, there are seven or eight sets of square tables and chairs strewn about. On a table on the west side, there is a person lying on his stomach, as if he is a waiter on duty at night, and has fallen asleep uncontrollably.Ji Qi walked up to him, knocked on the table three times, and asked loudly:
"Are you doing business now?"

The waiter in the shop was probably in a light sleep, and he stood up abruptly, looked around in a daze, and finally focused his eyes on the young girl in front of him:

"Do it, do it. It is necessary. You two have never seen the sign outside our gate that we are not closed!"

Ji Qi frowned again: "Who is there to sleep at night? We knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered."

The waiter nodded and bowed: "I'm sorry, I'm really sleepy after staying up for half the night, and there were two groups of guests in front of me. It's been a long time since I've been so busy at night, and I fell asleep if I didn't pay attention." After explaining in a few words, he hurriedly asked: "Do you want one room or two rooms? There are still—"

Before he finished his introduction, Ji Qi interrupted with a wave of his hand: "I don't live in the store. Is there any food?"

The shop waiter was taken aback, and answered in a daze: "Yes, but at this hour, you two are eating, supper? Breakfast? The cook hasn't woken up, so I can only warm up the steamed buns left over from last night for you."

"Does the cook sleep in the shop?"

The waiter in the shop didn't know, so he replied truthfully: "Yes."

Ji Qi took out two ingots of silver and put them on the table: "Wake him up, I want hot food and soup."

That Xiao Er's eyes were straightened, it's okay to make a move, not to mention eating a meal, staying for five, six, seven or eight days!
Then he responded repeatedly: "Guest officer, sit down for a while, and the little one will do it now!"

For a while, the hall was quiet, only the sound of footsteps in the stairwell could be heard.After a while, the back hall also started to ping, and when the four dishes and one soup were all placed on the table, Ji Qi had just finished his sleep.

"So fast?" He felt that he had just fallen asleep and hadn't recovered from his fatigue, so he was a little unhappy.

"Hurry up?" Gu Chunfeng picked up the chopsticks, quickly picked up a few mouthfuls of rice, and asked in a vague voice.

"You are used to opening your mouth for food, and you have never waited, so naturally you don't feel fast."

Ji Qi picked up the bowl, filled a few spoonfuls of soup and began to drink.

"It's as if you have to wait at home. Your eating habits are good. Our family also eats soup first, but I don't. Aunt always complained that I didn't obey the rules."

Ji Qi's heart thumped, and he raised his eyes to glance at her. The other party's expression was normal, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

"Well, our family has strict rules."

"I thought you were an unruly person, but it turned out that you are not. If you really want to say that the rules are strict, our family is stricter, but mother—" the word concubine had already come to her lips, she swallowed it in time, and continued: "After my mother passed away, No one can really control me about food and clothing, so Auntie can’t hold me back, so I can do whatever I like with these habits. Drinking soup first, I only put on airs on important occasions.”
