Chapter 244 Inquiry
Helan Linzhang and Luo Xiyao had already changed their wedding attires into tattered clothes at this time, and they squatted on the tree, waiting for the convoys on both sides to leave, and when the wheels could no longer be heard, they jumped down and grabbed the roots of the tree. Apply slightly damp soil to face and hands.

"How is it?" Luo Xiyao raised her face to let him see what's wrong.

He Lan Linzhang held her face and looked carefully, "It looks okay, but it doesn't smell like it."

Luo Xiyao was taken aback, "I blame me for asking Hong Ming to fumigate in the market when she was preparing the clothes." She thought for a while and said, "Why don't we find a place to roll?"

"It's not necessary." He Lan Linzhang took out a dirty oil paper bag from his shoe.

Luo Xiyao swallowed her saliva forcefully. Although she was trapped in a dungeon in her previous life and was dirty, she still loves to be clean when she opens her eyes in this life. "What's this?"

"It's a kind of medicine bag mainly made of geranium by Mr. Sui."

"Geranium?" She knew that the smell of this flower was a bit strange, and it smelled a little smelly at first, but it is said that after smelling it for a long time, it has a strange fragrance, but ordinary people can't stand it even after smelling it for the first time.

"After adding other herbs, I can no longer smell the fragrance of flowers."

"How to use it?" Luo Xiyao has a bad temper because she has a bad temper, but she is not hypocritical.

The porridge in the evening seems to be thinner than that in the afternoon.

Helan Linzhang looked at her looking happy, and said with a smile: "You speak official Chinese very well, and occasionally you have a Pingcheng accent. When you meet people, it's better to pretend to be dumb."

Some people say that not only Ganquan Temple, but also the porridge shed outside Ziyun Temple is brown rice.

Luo Xiyao nodded vigorously, patted his arm, and made a gesture of waiting for him.

Luo Xiyao followed suit, holding her breath after applying it, and then slowly relaxing, repeated several times, but she still couldn't bear the smell, so she could only pull out a silver needle from her messy hair and poke at a certain acupuncture point !
Can't smell the stink anymore.

Outside Ganquan Temple, no one noticed the two refugees who came with two dogs with their arms around their waists and staggering steps, because there were too many refugees here.

She shook the silver needle, "Try?"

"Then you can hear it but you can't say it."

Helan Linzhang opened the oiled paper package, dipped his fingers in the powder and rubbed it behind his ears, on the side of his neck, under his armpits, on his wrists, and inside his shoes.

As they talked, some people encouraged them to go into the city, saying that the people who went in and out of the city gate said that the porridge shed outside the Town God's Temple can be full and delicious.

"I listen to people's advice to eat enough, I listen to my elder brother!" He Lan Linzhang pulled Luo Xiyao and followed this person to line up.

After finding a convenient place, He Lan Linzhang said, "I'll carry you on my back."

He Lan thanked Linzhang, "Are you allowed to enter the mountain after dark?"

When they walked out of the mountains, the two of them had completely become refugees.

Although there were not many people who responded, Luo Xiyao still felt that people's hearts were fluttering behind this person talking about the porridge shed in the Town God's Temple. She and He Lan Linzhang looked at each other, seeing something strange in each other's eyes.

In the evening, the porridge shed cooked porridge again, and the refugees came back alive and ran to queue.

He Lan Linzhang took Luo Xiyao's hand, and said: "I heard that the porridge shed gives out porridge once in the afternoon and once in the evening. We only drank it at noon, why don't we go to the mountains now, if we can touch wild vegetables and hares or something , you can also exchange for the city fee, and then I will take you to the Chenghuang Temple to have a look."

Luo Xiyao nodded, gesturing casually, "Is that so? Then should I just lose my ears?"

The two drank the porridge as water, so they had to find a place to go.

Sure enough, there were quite a few people entering the mountain, and they walked for a long time before avoiding the crowd.

The crown prince, second prince, and third prince were not there. They were obviously like the empress, they would show up at the porridge every day for a cutscene, and then they would go back to the palace.

However, some people complained quietly, saying that the porridge was getting thinner and the taste was getting worse.Some people came early and said that the porridge in the porridge shed is very fragrant, and it is rice that noble people spend money on, but today they have replaced it with brown rice for some reason.

After all, there are very few people who can read and write among the common people. She is an ordinary peasant woman, so of course she can't write!She can't speak or write, and she can't ask anyone who asks her anything, so she doesn't have to confront him about her false identity.

Helan Linzhang took Luo Xiyao to line up outside the porridge shed, and the porridge they received was indeed cooked with brown rice. They took a couple of sips of the porridge and found a place to sit down .

After roughly discussing the arrangements for the future, the two headed towards Ganquan Temple.

Luo Xiyao said: "The female family members are too squeamish, especially Princess Ning Xin. When the porridge didn't arrive for an hour, she made a fuss. Later, some refugees fell down and were almost trampled to death because they were grabbing the porridge. The nanny falsely passed on the Queen Mother and her oral order, and immediately took people away. I didn't find the opportunity to go around and find out the background of the refugees, because Ningxin kept staring, and it was not easy to arrange for others to go. But Jia Liu said, how many of the refugees It's a prickly head, it looks like it has a lot of kung fu, and it's not very peaceful."

The refugee who was sitting near them just now said: "We are all late. Even if there are wild vegetables in the mountain, they have been dug up. If you really want to enter the mountain, you have to queue up to drink porridge before entering. Otherwise, wait for more refugees to come in." Get up. Maybe the porridge won’t be available anymore.”

He Lan Linzhang nodded, "Okay."

"Okay." Luo Xiyao searched for a branch in the mountains to use as a walking stick, and took out two notched bowls from her dirty luggage, one for each person, "Don't look at this bowl is broken and dirty, this is Hong Ming It was made by secretly finding a craftsman for a day."

"It's best not to. Just shut up if you pretend to be dumb, but it's easy to reveal your secrets if you pretend to be deaf. You can't be on guard all the time. When there is a sudden sound, you may subconsciously look past it."

Sure enough, there are restless people among the refugees.

"Hey!" The man looked around and whispered: "Once the city gate is closed, we can't enter the city, and can't we enter the mountains? The emperor can't let people surround the mountains! But at night there are Officials patrol, as long as there is no trouble, you just say it’s convenient, and they won’t follow.”

He Lan Linzhang thought for a while, "Let's go to Ganquan Temple to have a look."

"Did you find anything when you followed Ziyun Temple last time?"

It's just that there are more and more guards at the city gate. It's not the old people who can't walk and the young children who need to be hugged, they can't get in at all.

The refugees around all drank the porridge quietly, and even after they finished drinking, they all quietly closed their eyes to save energy, so a bowl of watery brown rice porridge can only put a shallow layer on the empty stomach, and don't feel full when they are full. thought about it.

Without saying a word, Luo Xiyao threw herself on his back, put her arms around his neck, put her lips next to his ear and said: "Among the refugees, there are many strong people hiding in the dark, they don't look like peasants."

"I saw it too." He Lan Linzhang whispered, "After the sun went down, there were obviously more people in the dark. They either went to the city to do errands, or they came to Beijing separately."

"If we find a way to get in, will we be able to find Princess Ronghui's lair?" Luo Xiyao said, "Maybe they are the ones hiding in Yu Jiangshan's belly."

He Lan Linzhang turned her head, and the tip of her nose accidentally brushed her lips, "How do you know that these people belong to the Eldest Princess?"
