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

This also caused the other party to sneak into his study without doubting its authenticity when he saw the contents of the letter. It was easy to kill him. There was no need to frame a mayor in this way.

Yes, the content of the anonymous letter was only about the mayor of Qushui Town, and only about finding the killer. There was nothing about raising snakes or the Snake Valley.

I didn’t write about the incident involving the county magistrate’s wife, because it’s just this matter, and it’s really hard to connect the two sides. After all, it’s a bit fantasy in it. The other party may not believe it if I write it down, and it’s very possible that the previous content will not be included. I don’t even believe it anymore.

Another thing is that if they know that their relationship with Qushui Town has been exposed, they will definitely take precautions. In this case, they may not be able to continue the investigation.

And because of this letter, Yong'an County's Ange suffered heavy losses. Yes, it was Yong'an County's Ange. This Ange was a nationwide chain, and Yong'an County was just one of its branches.

The most critical clue was found in Qushui Town. It was such a coincidence that the mayor was one of Ange's external contact points and the place responsible for receiving orders.

The mayor is a well-rounded person and has a relationship with the county magistrate's wife, but he is not a direct subordinate, they just relay each other.

Of course, this is all a thing for later, and I haven’t found those yet.

Qingyan and her group arrived at the riverside at around four o'clock in the afternoon. This was not a town, but also a place belonging to Wanzai County. It only occupied a small half of the area, and the city wall was not here but on the other side of the river.

Because of the ferry, the side street is quite prosperous. There are all kinds of hotels, restaurants, teahouses and shops. However, they did not live here like others and wait for the ferry, because they decided to go back to their home with Yang Ping'an and his family. Over there, and their home happens to be in the mountain they want to pass through.

So they had dinner at a restaurant here and continued on their way. They should be able to arrive in the evening.

The reason for having dinner here in advance is because Yang Pingan and his family have been away from home for a few months. They just got home and there is nothing and they have to clean up, so it is better to eat first. If you are tired by then, you can also put it away first. Clean up the bedroom, take a nap, and then clean it up the next day.

So they separated from those who were traveling together before. Anyway, they just walked along the way for a while and didn't interact with each other, so they didn't need to say hello or farewell.

This time there were only two carriages left on the road, and since there were no villages on the road leading into the mountains, it became narrower and narrower. After entering the mountains, there was only one car left.

If it weren't for the boldness of Qingyan and the other artists, they really wouldn't have dared to follow. The further they went, the more they would suspect that they had been deceived and sold into the mountains.

After entering the mountain, the road became even more bumpy. Fortunately, it was not too steep, and it was flat enough for driving. However, it was really uninhabited. If there were not traces of people walking on this road, we would have suspected that it was a wild forest.

There are also advantages to being less crowded. There are many wild animals in the forest, and there are also many mushrooms and herbs, especially mushrooms. It may be because of the rain in the past two days. They are almost everywhere in the mountains and plains.

Seeing this made Qingyan's eyes brimming with tears. She liked picking the most. When she saw these, her hands were itchy and she wanted to pick them. Even if she didn't eat much, she just enjoyed the picking process.

Obviously Yang Ping'an and the others also had this hobby. He stopped to discuss with them and said that they wanted to pick some at dawn, just in time to eat mushroom soup tomorrow morning.

Of course Qingyan and the others had no objection, it was exactly what she wanted.

So the group of people parked the car directly on the road, and they picked mushrooms on the side of the road without walking far.

Speaking of which, they were really lucky. While picking mushrooms, they were surprised by two pheasants. Golden Eyes quickly caught them and picked up a dozen pheasants.

Now it's good, not only are there mushrooms, pheasants and eggs, you can have soup and boiled eggs tomorrow morning, and even the lunch dishes are ready.

They didn't stay here for long. Although there were a lot of mushrooms, they were very concentrated. They didn't have to change places. They just squatted there and picked a basket in a short time. It took less than half an hour to gather them. time, ready to leave.

After all, we were in the mountains and it was difficult to walk at night. This was because Yang Ping'an and the others were familiar with the road conditions, so they didn't have to worry about taking the wrong road or encountering any wild beasts.

This mountain is not big, and I have never encountered any ferocious beasts in it. The most ferocious ones are wild boars, and there are not large groups. At most, I only encounter one or two. There are so many of them that I can deal with them.

Moreover, the weather is not hot in this season, and the mosquitoes have not come out yet. To be honest, it is a relatively comfortable time to travel in the mountains.

Of course, there must be snakes, but Qingzhu, the snake ancestor, is here, and he will pay a visit when he comes. If Qingzhu doesn't allow it, those snakes won't even dare to show their faces.

Not to mention Qingzhu, even before, as long as Chou Chou released a little pressure, there would be no snakes, insects, rats, ants or the like around them.

It only took less than two hours for them to walk from there to the mountain. It was now between six and seven o'clock, and it was still bright. It would not be completely dark until at least eight o'clock, so there was still time. .

However, they still took out the torches and lanterns and prepared them in advance, which saved them from being in a hurry.

Yang Pingan was driving the car and leading the way. He had just told them that the Huanshan Town where they were located was in the middle of the mountain.

No matter which direction you enter the mountain from, the distance to them is almost the same, which is equivalent to being in the center.

Their location is rather special. It's a valley. It's not in a low-lying area, but halfway up the mountain. It can't be said to be a mountain, because everything around it is higher than there, that is, it's higher than the outside of the mountain. But It is another depression surrounded by mountains, somewhat similar to a mountaintop basin.

But the environment is very good, because it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, not to mention the air, and the scenery is that the four hills have their own merits, and each direction looks different, and they are all independent scenery.

Every morning, when there are clouds and mist all around, a thin layer of fog will appear in their town, making people feel like they are living in a fairyland.

In particular, there are many shallow rivers and creeks where they live. There are many stone bridges built by themselves in the middle of the rivers. Leading the old cows passing by in the early morning mist is like walking in a painting.

In addition, the river water is shallow, and the round and translucent pebbles washed in the water reflect the morning sun and glow with golden light, which is very beautiful...

These were all told to them by Yang Ping'an. Qingyan was very yearning after hearing them, so as soon as she was sure that they would not be targeted, she immediately decided to come here to take a look, and secretly used a camera to capture these scenes. After settling down, I took it back and showed it to my parents, brothers, grandparents, and others. As for why they didn’t give it to their grandparents and aunts, it’s because they didn’t know that Xiangxiang Chouchou had space. Xiangxiang and Space first followed her mother and grandpa. Later, they added her father, but they didn’t. Let more relatives know, not because you are afraid that they will tell it, but because they can't get in, and it will be useless if you tell them.

Only the immediate family members of the parents or those with exceptionally strong spirits can enter, otherwise they will become fools.

Her grandparents were actually her father's adoptive parents. They were not related by blood and were just ordinary people, so she didn't tell them.

They can still look at the scenery without people, but not the scenery with people inside. It is easy to get involved when ancient people enter the country, and it is difficult to explain.

Unlike before, when we walked slowly all the way, we started to speed up as soon as we set out on the road again. It wasn’t until it got dark and the lanterns were lit that the speed slowed down again.

I thought about lighting a torch before, but because there are not many people walking on this road here, no one is repairing the tree branches on the roadside. They are all stretched out to the road, and their cars can be swept.

If we lit a torch, it would be easy to light those branches, which would cause a forest fire. So in the end we decided to light two lanterns.

One in front of the other, light up both cars so that the lighting range is larger.

Moreover, the moon today is quite big. It has been only a few days since the 15th day of the lunar month, and most of the moon is still bright. Add to that the sky full of stars, and you can see the scene ahead even in this forest.

Moreover, the trees in this forest are relatively normal, not to mention straight and straight, and there are none that look weird, so they don't give people a gloomy feeling even at night.

The most important thing is that there seems to be no crows in this mountain, so I didn't hear the somewhat intrusive cries. Most other birds don't sing at night.

Along the way, there was almost only the sound of the wheels of their carriage turning, and the occasional crackling of gravel and branches. Even they spoke in a low voice.

It’s not that it’s to create an atmosphere, the main thing is that the two cars are walking one behind the other, so they have to talk very loudly. It’s already night, and some people sitting in the car are asleep, and people outside are shouting and talking. It will also affect their rest.

The other one also wanted to listen to the movements around him. Although there were no ferocious beasts or bandits here before, but just in case, maybe there would be ones coming from other places later.

Regardless of whether it was a ferocious beast or a bandit, they were all alive, and they wandered over without warning and were met by them.

Just like why they took a detour before, there were no tigers there before, and they didn't run over from behind. It was reported that they bit people and even the mountain road was blocked. How could they guarantee that there would be no tigers here?

Of course, these are Yang Ping'an's thoughts, not those of Qingyan and others who are aware of it. Besides, they have spiritual consciousness, and it is clear to them what is in the mountains and forests.

But it was hard to tell Yang Pingan, so this was the reason why they kept quiet. Fortunately, the distance was not that far. They had already "seen" the side of Huanshan Town with their spiritual consciousness. It would take another half an hour to walk. It should be there.

Sure enough, after walking for more than 20 minutes, they walked out of the forest. Even at night, because of the moonlight, it gave people a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

The road ahead suddenly became much wider and smoother, and there were some people arriving one after another. They just didn't turn on the lights. They probably didn't want to waste lamp oil or they were already asleep.

After walking a little further, there is a long downhill road ahead, and the field of view becomes wider. You can almost see the whole view of the town below.

It was just eight o'clock in the evening, and even though it was in the mountains, it was still a town, so there were still many people lighting up lights.

Especially on the street in the center of the town, lanterns are still lit in front of several shops. Although it is not like the feeling of looking at thousands of lights at a glance like in later generations, it is still a scenery that makes people feel comfortable.

They walked along the road towards the town. The road went downhill all the way. It was not urgent, it was very slow, so there was no need to worry about not being able to control the carriage.

At this time, their two cars were already driving side by side. Yang Ping'an said to them: "Our home is at the very edge of this side of the town. Just walk a little further and you'll be there. That's where the two windows with bright lights are. The yard next to the house with the lights on.”

Qingyan and Qingzhu each opened a window and looked in the direction he said.

Sure enough, I saw it at a glance, but I didn't expect that the location of Yang Ping'an's house was quite good. It was just on the edge of this road. The first house that entered the town was their house.

His house and another house were right next to each other. If he hadn't told them, he would have thought they were the same house because there was a wall between them.

Soon they arrived at the door of Yang Ping'an's house. When they stopped the car, Yang Ping'an got out of the car and unlocked the door.

The people next door may have heard the noise. Someone came out, holding an oil lamp in his hand and protecting the flame with his other hand.

There is no way, there is always some wind in the mountains. If you don't protect it with your hands, the oil lamp will be blown out when you go out.

It's just that the range of the oil lamp's illumination is limited, and this block is even less, so I didn't see the people here clearly. I only saw a carriage, and asked aloud: "Who is it?"

Yang Pingan stopped what he was doing and raised his voice and replied: "Fifth brother, it's me, Pingan, we are back."

The middle-aged man named Fifth Brother took two more steps forward and said with a smile: "I'm back safely. I've been away for a long time. How is your in-law family doing? My brothers, sisters, nephews and niece are also back?”

Yang Ping'an unlocked the door and opened it, while replying: "We are all back. My in-law's family is doing well. They are doing well. My uncle's business is doing well now, and my nephew's wife is married." He is also very filial, and life will definitely get better and better in the future.

I would also like to thank Brother Wu for taking care of my yard. Nothing happened during this time, right? "
