Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

But if the three of them had to walk on foot for dozens of miles on a mountainous road, it would really take them several days. The old, weak, women and children might not be anywhere safer than walking here.

When Qingyan saw what she said, and looked at the other party's hesitant expression, she guessed what the other party was worried about.

He spoke to comfort him: "Don't worry, aunt, my brother and I are both working hard, that's why we heard that there were bandits and were heading this way.

It's better if they come. I'm afraid they won't come to rob us. To put it bluntly, if we meet us, it's not necessarily who will die when the time comes.

Let me tell you the truth. We came all the way from the northwest. We almost crossed the whole country. We encountered everything on the road. We encountered countless bandits and robbers. There was not a single one. Those who can escape from our hands.

They were either picked up by us or sent to the government. We didn't need to bring any silver at all. The bounty we got from the government alone was enough for us to have fun in style. "

Of course these were words to comfort the other party. In fact, the bounty they got was for handing people over anonymously. Isn't this just to comfort the old lady?

Hearing this, not only Aunt Xiao, but also Xiao Danniang and Li Huier and their daughter stopped dozing off and were immediately shaken up by her.

Although I didn't fully believe it, after hearing this, although I was very surprised, I was no longer as anxious as before.

Then the three Aunt Xiao looked at the backs of Qingyan and Jin Yang outside at the same time, and they all thought in their hearts. I really can’t believe that this handsome young man and a delicate little girl are so capable, let alone them. With a baby doll.

Qingyan was still a little surprised when she saw them, so she didn't explain much. When the time comes, she will really meet them, and it will be fine if she sees Zhenzhang under her hands.

The horse-drawn carriage traveled very fast, and the seven-mile distance was only 3 kilometers. In addition, the road here was straight and there were no twists and turns. We arrived at the foot of Tianjing Mountain in less than minutes.

Qingyan and Jin Yang first looked at the mountain with their spiritual senses, but still found no trace of the bandits. They had covered the entire mountain.

Unless the opponent knows some formations and has a higher level of cultivation than Jin Yang in order to block their spiritual consciousness, otherwise they didn't come out at all today.

Since there is no discovery, just go in directly. Even if there is an emergency, they can solve it.

After entering the mountain road, the road is not as flat as before. Even if it is still a stone road, it is uneven at high and low levels.

When they arrived here, Aunt Xiao and the three of them tensed up, clinging to the carriage window and looking outside. Li Huier did the same, and she also kept Yuan Bao in her arms.

Although they had never encountered bandits, they knew how terrifying those bandits were just from hearing about them.

"You don't have to be so nervous. We have good ears. If those bandits really come, we will find it immediately.

The chirping of birds outside and the surrounding atmosphere are normal now, indicating that there is no ambush..."

Qingyan comforted them for a few words, but seeing that they were still very tense, she had to send a message to Jin Yang to speed up and cross Tianjing Mountain quickly, so that they would not be able to relax.

As for those bandits, they have plenty of ways to deal with them. Anyway, as long as they come out to commit crimes again, Chou Chou can kill them from the air or send them to the Yamen.

Tianjing Mountain is less than 300 meters high, and there is water for five or six miles to the north and south, so there are no large wild animals inhabiting it. At most, there are some birds and small animals.

After listening to Qingyan's words, Jin Yang rushed through the mountain in only ten minutes.

As soon as they came out of the mountain, Aunt Xiao and the other two people didn't react yet. It wasn't until the carriage slowed down that they confirmed that they were safe.

Aunt Xiao relaxed and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands. She was too nervous before and her hands were all sweaty.

"Is this... coming here?"

Was it because they were fast enough that the bandits didn't react at all and they passed through Tianjing Mountain, so they didn't encounter them?

Although Xiao Danniang was thinking this in her heart, she didn't say it out loud. Just like they were able to reach Corridor Town safely before, maybe they were lucky because they happened to catch up with the bandits when they were away.

After all, those bandits weren't always waiting for people to rob them in the mountains. Otherwise, mother and daughter wouldn't have been able to escape.

Those people don't have fixed times either, it just depends on who is unlucky.

Qingyan smiled and replied: "Yes, we have already come out. Tianjing Mountain is not big to begin with, so it only took less than a quarter of an hour to pass through it.

By the way, shall we continue to follow this path? What is the name of your town over there? "

Of course she knew it was called Sanyi Town and had seen it with her spiritual consciousness before, but she couldn't say she had seen it.

Or maybe they weren't going to this town. After all, there was a town in the other direction, but it was just farther away.

Aunt Xiao had calmed down, pointed forward and said to Qingyan: "Let's continue walking eastward along the road, and we will arrive at another place more than seven miles away.

My home is called Sanyi Town. When you get there, don’t leave in a hurry. Just go to my house to rest. Since you have nothing urgent to do and are just out for fun, then stay at our house for a few more days and let us entertain you well. you.

If we hadn't met you, we might not know when we would be able to come back. Now that we have met, it means we have this fate, and we can't refuse it, you know. "

Qingyan said quickly: "Auntie, it's really not necessary. We just like to stroll around, so we better not bother you by going to your house.

Besides, you are busy opening a new shop, so there is no need to entertain us, we will leave directly. "

Aunt Xiao and Xiao Dan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said at the same time: "That's not possible! We are already here, why do you want us to fulfill our friendship as landlords? If we really don't want to stay, then we have to have a simple meal anyway, otherwise we are here I can’t get over it in my heart.”

After Qingyan heard what the other party said, she no longer insisted. For a family that could afford to open two shops, it should not be short of money for one meal.

Now that she knew the other person's family conditions, she was even more confused as to why Xiao Danniang and her daughter had made her so miserable. Could it be that she was so thoroughly PUA'd by her parents that she couldn't change it at all? Of course, it cannot be said that she was PUAed by her mother-in-law. After all, she is not a man who helps her younger brother, nor does she try to attract things from her mother-in-law's family. Everything is just about men.

But she still felt that this was not good, and wanted to see if Huang Jin or Jin Yang could find a way to charm the mother and daughter, put them to sleep, and let them treat themselves well in the future and stop being so sick.

Otherwise, the body will collapse early and die young. Then the man and the money will belong to others. What are you trying to do?

The journey of more than seven miles was very fast on a flat road. In less than twenty minutes, they arrived at Sanyi Town.

Aunt Xiao directly pointed the way, and they went to the northernmost part of the town, finally stopping in front of a large courtyard.

It is a really big courtyard. This courtyard covers an area of ​​at least five acres. The courtyard walls are made of stone and are not very high. Taller people can see the scene inside the courtyard.

However, it is good to have such a large fenced yard. At least it is much more elegant than the neighboring yards that have no walls or only have a circle of fences. It can be seen that this family is very well off.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Danniang sat next to the carriage door, got off the carriage, took out a key from her arms, and opened the copper lock on the courtyard door.

Then push the courtyard door open from both sides and let Jin Yang drive the carriage into the courtyard.

Qingyan and the others had already scanned it with their spiritual consciousness before entering. The yard was very large and there were no vegetables or anything else. Except for some wood placed against the wall, the middle was so empty. It was more than enough for three carriages.

The house inside is not a brick house, but made of stone, and the roof is also tiled.

There are many stone houses like this in Sanyi Town, unlike the previous Cloister Town, where there are mostly brick houses. Maybe because a road runs through the middle, which is a must-pass. Opening a shop in Cloister Town is not only possible Sell ​​to people in the town and surrounding villages, and also to passers-by.

Although Sanyi Town is not far from the roadside, pedestrians on the road still have to walk a small way to come to this town, which is not right next to the roadside.

Most of the houses in the town are stone houses, and there are also brick houses. There are only those storefronts on the main street, and some near the edges even have thatched roofs, that is, the frame walls are made of stone and the roofs are thatched.

This is the difference between the south and the north. In the north, you can use grass mud to make adobe houses, but in the south, you can't. There is too much rain here, and the adobe houses are simply unusable, so most of them are built with stone and also with Made of wood.

Of course, there are differences when it comes to building a house with wood. A poor person just builds a shed, while a rich person is more sophisticated when building a house with wood. Some wealthy people use wood specifically for carvings. Of course, the foundation is still made of masonry. .

Therefore, it can be seen that Xiao Dan's family is considered to be a wealthy family in the town. Not to mention the large yard, there are seven or eight houses.

Of course, there are only four rooms in use now, two bedrooms, one main room, and one kitchen. The others have no trace of use. It should be that Aunt Xiao and her eldest son's family also lived here before, and later went to the cloister. It's on the other side of town, so it's empty.

There is still some furniture inside, but there is no trace that the owner is using it. Besides the two bedrooms, there is another room that must have been just cleaned up. The bed has been made but the bedding has not been put in. It must have been prepared for Aunt Xiao.

After all, there were only two bedrooms used before, one for the couple and one for the daughter. Of course Aunt Xiao will have a separate bedroom when she comes back, and it is impossible to live in the same room with her granddaughter.

In ancient times, unlike later generations, parents had to live in the main house at home, because most emperors governed the country with filial piety, and the most important thing was to be filial to their parents. If the parents were still at home, even if the family was separated, the main house in the main courtyard was to be given to them. My parents kept it.

Unless the parents are gone, the couple will definitely live in the side room or the room on the right side of the main house. The left side is also reserved for the parents or the eldest elder in the family.

After parking the carriage, Qingyan followed Aunt Xiao into the main room with Yuan Bao and Jin Yang in her arms.

The house is very clean, and it can be seen that the male owner is also a tidy person. The female owner has been away for more than ten days, and there is still no mess in the house. There is not even dust on the tables, chairs and benches.

Not only on the tables and chairs, but also on the floor. The floor was paved with stone slabs, and even the gaps were swept clean.

There is not much furniture in the main room, only an Eight Immortals table, four chairs and a desk, and there are no extraneous things on it.

However, ventilation is better in the south than in the north. In the north, because of the cold weather, most houses are built more closed and the windows are not very big. Although it is warmer, ventilation and lighting are worse.

There are windows in the front and back of the house here. As long as they are opened, there will be ventilation. And because there are windows in the north and south, the lighting is good. Even if the windows are closed and covered with window paper, it will not be too dark inside and you can still see. to something.

Li Huier went to the shop to find her father. Grandma was back, and her father would definitely come back to see her. Xiao Danniang went to the kitchen to boil water. Because no one was home during the day, there was no hot water.

At this time, there was no thermos kettle to hold hot water, so hot water had to be boiled freshly. Xiao Danniang immediately went to the kitchen to boil water to make tea for Qingyan and the others.

Qingyan didn't stop her. This was the way to treat guests.

However, she asked Jin Yang to get some snacks and dried fruits from the car, chatted with Aunt Xiao for a while, then left Yuan Bao behind and went to the kitchen to take a look.

Except that the water tank was full and there was some food, there were no vegetables. It must be that the male owner was not at home during the day and ate them outside.

Qingyan thought for a while, then took out some vegetables from the car at the back and took them directly into the kitchen. Since she was going to eat here, she had to have a good meal. She also looked and found that these vegetables were not sold in the town. .

I heard Aunt Xiao say before that Xiao Danniang's cooking skills are still very good, and she is also ready to try it.

But without good ingredients, no matter how good the other party's cooking skills are, there probably won't be much room for him to show off.

The ingredients she brought out all had some spiritual energy. Not only did they taste good, but they were also good for their bodies, but they weren't particularly obvious.

Xiao Danniang was a little surprised when she saw Qingyan coming in with two bundles of vegetables, "Miss Xue, why are you still bringing vegetables with you? We also have vegetables at home, planted in the backyard. I will pick some in a moment."

Qingyan said: "We bought this when we passed by the county town before. We haven't had time to cook it for several days, and it's a little wilted. Since I want to have a meal at your place, I'll trouble my sister-in-law to cook it together. Save of waste.

My cooking skills are not good, so it would be a waste of good things. I heard from my aunt that my sister-in-law's cooking skills are very good, so we are very lucky. "

When Xiao Danniang heard what she said, she didn't refuse. She thought she would go out and buy more meat and come back later.
