Asking the heavens starts with Xiaoao

Chapter 49
Early in the morning three days later, Yue Buqun and Mu Xian'er, after listening to Mu Boyan's instructions, went to the pier by the river, preparing to take a boat to Fuzhou.

The two walked for about half an hour, and when they arrived at the pier, the boatman had already opened a black-topped boat and was waiting there.

Yue Buqun saw that the wharf was extremely crude, and the large ship he saw that night obviously couldn't dock, and he was more puzzled about how he was put in front of Mu Xian'er's house.

After the two got on the boat, they sat down in the cabin, and the boat started to move.The cabin of the black-covered boat is narrow, and as the hull shakes, the two of them cannot avoid physical contact while sitting in the cabin.

Yue Buqun kept his back straight and tried his best not to make physical contact with Mu Xianer. Mu Xianer lowered her head to peek at Yue Buqun's hard work. The blush on his face never stopped.

The boat was rickety and the speed was extremely slow. It took nearly four hours to reach Fuzhou City.

After arriving in Fuzhou, the two spent some dry food indiscriminately, and while it was still early, they went straight to Anmin Lane in the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, and found Baicaotang.

The two explained their intentions, and the shopkeeper had done business with Mu Boyan for decades, and said with a smile: "You are Dr. Mu's nephews, don't worry, the old man has been doing business with Dr. Mu for more than ten years, and you will definitely not It will be a mistake."

"It will take a few days for this batch of medicinal materials to be sorted out. The two of you can go shopping in Fuzhou City first, and come here in the morning after three days to count them. After the counting is completed, you can return with the boat."

Hearing this, the two drank their cups right in the middle, paid the deposit and went out.

Yue Buqun found an inn nearby and booked two rooms.When Mu Xian'er came, she had already seen the bustling scenes of the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, so she wished she could go for a stroll right away.At this time, after a short rest, he dragged Yue Buqun out to go shopping in high spirits.

Yue Buqun changed into a scholar's attire, a scholar's scarf, and three long beards, and suddenly became a middle-aged scholar.

Mu Xian'er asked Yue Buqun curiously, "Why did brother Yue dress up like this? He made people look much older."

Yue Buqun forcefully explained: "Miss Xian'er is too beautiful, I have to dress up a bit more maturely, others will think that the elder brother brought the younger sister out to play, so it will save a lot of trouble."

When Mu Xian'er heard Yue Buqun praise her beauty, she was sweet in her heart, and didn't delve into the reason why Yue Buqun changed her clothes.

Yue Buqun let out a sigh of relief, if the threat from Jianzong was still there, the ghost would change his costume!
Yue Buqun had already mastered these three lanes and seven alleys in Fuzhou before.He was grateful to Mu Xianer for taking good care of him, and seeing Mu Xianer walking happily, he devoted himself to becoming a tour guide.

Everywhere he went, Yue Buqun explained the origin of the place in detail, and he knew the humanistic stories at his fingertips, and he knew the legends and allusions like the palm of his hand.

Mu Xianer admired Yue Buqun so much that she asked Yue Buqun, "Brother Yue, how do you know so many allusions? Have you ever been to Fuzhou before?"

Yue Buqun laughed loudly and said, "Miss Xian'er, don't you know a common saying called 'a scholar can know the world's affairs without going out'? These allusions are all from books, you should know that 'the book has its own golden house' , there is Yan Ruyu in the book'ah!"

Mu Xian'er was confused, and asked: "I know what it means to be a scholar who doesn't go out, but to know the world's affairs." What does "the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu" mean?"

Yue Buqun laughed and said, "These are two sentences in a poem encouraging students to learn. It means that as long as you study hard, you can not only get amazing wealth, but you can even have a peerless beauty like Miss Xian'er."

Mu Xian'er listened to Yue Buqun's ridicule, and couldn't help but "spit", but her heart was as sweet as drinking honey. Before she knew it, she had fallen in love with this young, handsome and knowledgeable scholar.

The two walked around the street for three consecutive days, and Mu Xian'er had a great time shopping.Yue Buqun followed at the same pace, carrying a lot of things to eat, like a follower.

In the past few days, Yue Buqun specially chose taverns with a lot of people from all corners of the country to eat, and often looked for news about Chang Qingzi, but found nothing, as if this person had never appeared in Fuzhou.

The girl in my memory has not met in the past few days, and waiting for the rabbit after all is just a fable. He is neither a farmer, nor is the girl a rabbit.

Just based on a chance encounter here, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack here again, and it's strange to find it.

Yue Buqun didn't know the whereabouts of Chang Qingzi, and he didn't dare to go to the previous inn. If Jianzong didn't catch Chang Qingzi, he would squat in the inn and send it to the door by himself.

On the morning of the fourth day, the two came to Baicao Hall, checked and accepted the medicinal materials, hired someone to carry the medicinal materials to the boat, and returned to Mujia Village in the early morning.

The boat went smoothly, and it took only three hours to arrive at the simple wharf of Mujia Village. Yue Buqun and the boat boss moved the medicinal materials to the wharf.

Mu Xian'er looked around, but she didn't see anyone who came to pick up the goods, so she couldn't help but wondered: "Daddy and I made an appointment to come here to carry the goods at this time, why didn't anyone come?"

Yue Buqun looked around, and saw many strands of black smoke rushing into the sky in the distance, and the direction happened to be in the direction of Mujia Village.

Yue Buqun's heart sank, and he shouted: "No, I'm afraid something happened in the village!"

Mu Xian'er also saw thick smoke rising from the direction of the village, and was very anxious.The two asked the boat boss to take care of the medicinal materials, and rushed towards the village with all their strength.

The wharf was tens of miles away from the village, Yue Buqun saw that Mu Xianer was walking too slowly, so he simply picked up Mu Xianer on his back, pulled up his inner strength and walked quickly towards the village.

Not enough time for a cup of tea, Yue Buqun came to the entrance of the west village, the situation in front of him made people feel uneasy.I saw the doors of every family in Mu's Village were wide open, and a villager-like person lay prostrate on the road, with a large pool of blood dripping from his body.

Yue Buqun put Mu Xian'er down, turned over the villager, and saw a huge wound on his lower abdomen, apparently stabbed in by a knife, and he was already dead.Mu Xian'er grabbed the villagers' hands and shouted, "Uncle Chen! Who killed Uncle Chen!"

Yue Buqun felt more and more uneasy. Mu Xian'er was yelling here, but the village was quiet, without a single voice, like a ghost.

Mu Xian'er looked up to the east of the village, where several houses were on fire and thick smoke was coming out.She said anxiously: "Father, where is my father?" She stood up abruptly and ran towards the east of the village with all her strength, Yue Buqun was afraid that she would be in danger, so hurried to follow.

The village had obviously been massacred.There were dead villagers everywhere beside the house door and on the road, some of them had their heads cut off.

Several women were hanged from roadside trees, completely naked, apparently insulted before their deaths.

Yue Buqun walked all the way, feeling more and more angry in his heart.

In the center of the village, Yue Buqun saw a small Jingguan, a pile of human heads piled up in the shape of a pyramid. On the top was the head of a three or four year old boy.

Yue Buqun was full of anger, and his anger rushed straight to the sky, his soul seemed to be trembling, this is what a bunch of people did!This is a real bunch of brutes!

In a trance, something broke in the depths of Yue Buqun's mind, and some kind of change happened silently.
