I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 113 Mang Mountain
After sending Yu Liang away, Wan Jinlan went to the back mountain again. Seeing that everyone was not slacking off, she was relieved, but she was a little surprised to see the results of the group's archery.

She really found a good seedling, archery is almost a hundred shots, but the posture is not so standardized, it has its own characteristics, the posture of the shoulders and arms and the eyes are not on the same level at all, but it can be shot repeatedly, which is also evil.

"What's your name?"

This person looked a bit thin among the tall horse bandits, and she vaguely remembered that he was a member of the refugees.

"Mrs. Hui, my name is Zhang Baoquan."

Wan Jinlan nodded with a smile, and then corrected his posture. Zhang Baoquan was very obedient, but after the arrow was shot, it almost hit Li Mazi who was several feet away from the target.

Li Mazi jumped: "Did you do it on purpose, boy! You can hit every shot!"

Wan Jinlan was a little silent.

Zhang Baoquan's face was originally dark, but now it is not obvious that it is red.

Zhang Baoquan scratched his head and said, "Madam, don't ask me to correct my posture. My eyes are not normal, and I have already developed the archery posture."

Wan Jinlan took out the machine crossbow and handed it to him.

Immediately Wan Jinlan saw that the nail barrel of the machine crossbow was not at the same level as his line of sight, and after the spike shot out, it hit the red heart.

Wan Jinlan: "..."

This man's eyes are really amazing.

Wan Jinlan was convinced and gave him a thumbs up.

During the gap between everyone's training, Wan Jinlan took people to the town to buy materials for building a shed, and bought some cauldrons and items to keep out the cold.

When the sun slanted westward, Xia Feng brought back more than 100 refugees.

These people were all resettled behind the mountain, and the simple huts were still being covered with thatch, and the soup and medicine that had been set up and boiled at the other end were ready.

Dr. Li Fugui and Dr. Li also came, and the refugees were divided into three groups by him.

As usual, everyone has a big bowl of porridge, and after drinking, a bowl of decoction will warm up the body that is so cold that the heart and liver are trembling.

After Wan Jinlan sent out the bedding to keep out the cold, he lit a few more fires, and then arranged for people to watch the group of refugees in the back mountain. If they had ulterior motives to make trouble, they would break their hands and feet and throw them out.

The large mountain area in the back mountain is surrounded by mountains, sheltered from wind and safe.

Li Fugui also took this opportunity to give her another pulse. She suffered from body cold, and it took a long time to take care of her. The medicine was taken all year round.

Wang Shu came back at noon, saying that he had passed the news.

Now it was night, and Xiao Feng hadn't come back yet.

After eating, Wan Jinlan sat by the stove, glanced at the door from time to time, worried that something happened to Xiao Feng.

At the end of Haishi, she couldn't sit still, so she put on her cloak and went to find Li Mazi.

Let Li Mazi lead the way to Mang Mountain.

Like her, Li Mazi covered his head and face with cloth, only his eyes were exposed. The cold wind in Liangzhou at night was so bitter that it was not at the same level as the places east of Liangzhou.

These horse bandits are very clear about the nearby terrain, and they have already been familiar with the road.

Tonight's moonlight fell on the yellow land, enough for the two of them to see the road ahead clearly.

About half an hour later, there was the sound of horseshoes ahead.

Wan Jinlan stopped his horse and finally confirmed that it was Xiao Feng and his party.

Xiao Feng saw her from a distance, and he was completely sure when he got close. He didn't need to ask him to know that she was looking for him.

His Jinlan is a person with a hard mouth and a soft heart, and Xiao Feng's heart surged with enthusiasm.

If there is only one person in this world that he firmly believes will not betray him, she is the only one.

When we returned to the cottage again, it was already late at night.

After everyone finished their meal, they gathered together to gather news.

Xiao Feng said: "The situation in Mangshan is different from what we thought."

Wan Jinlan listened attentively.

Xiao Feng went to the garrison station in Gu'a Town during the day, and Li Dazhuang came forward to deliver a few bottles of wine to the guards at the gate of the camp, and then mentioned giving some things to his relatives.

After some inquiries, I found out that the soldiers in the camp had all set off to the northern front line this morning, and the camp was now an empty shell, with only a small number of troops left behind.

Xiao Feng felt that there must be something strange about the barbarian Pasha tribe and Helan tribe in the north bordering Liangzhou harassing the border town abnormally this season.

Most of the nomads in the north will choose to go south to plunder in July and August, because the crops are harvested in this season, and it is only Chinese New Year, and it is still in the twelfth lunar month of winter. The livestock had lost a lot of weight after a whole winter of consumption, which was not conducive to plundering southward, but they did it anyway.

Even if they knew that Wei was fighting internally and externally, why did they think they could defeat Liangzhou's 10,000+ army?

After hearing this, Wan Jinlan said: "Then there are only a few hundred county soldiers left in the county now?"

"Deputy Lieutenant Gao won't be back for a while, so we can put him aside for the time being."

Xiao Feng nodded and said: "Since there are only a few hundred county soldiers, let's take advantage of this opportunity to recruit refugees to prevent the spread of the disease."

Wan Jinlan waited for a long time, but didn't hear what was so special about Mangshan Mountain. It was not until the people dispersed and the two returned to the house that he surprised her with a word.

"There is an iron mine in Mang Mountain, and those horse bandits are just a cover-up to hide the iron mine being mined privately."

Mang Mountain is named Mang Mountain for its long snake-like veins.It is located at the junction of Qingyuan County and An County. Because of the notorious horse bandits, ordinary people don't take that road very often.

The mountains in Liangzhou are all bare, and it is extremely difficult to sneak in during the day, so you can only go in at night to explore, so he came back so late this time.

Xiao Feng was sure that this iron mine was not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.Mang Mountain is located in Qingyuan County, and Qingyuan County belongs to Chiwu County. It is hard to say that Zhou Mu does not know the existence of this iron mine.

The existence of this iron mine made the two feel a little tricky.

If you want to take up land, the first choice is naturally to take down Qingyuan County first, but this iron mine, the sheriff, or the state shepherd will not give up at all. And their current foundation is pitifully small.

Xiao Feng smoothed her eyebrows with his fingers, "Don't worry, we are new here, we don't understand all aspects, so we can figure it out slowly, so we can't be impatient."

Wan Jinlan hummed, and then applied the scar removal plaster on her arm.

Xiao Feng got up, pulled down the clothes on the nape of her neck quite naturally, and applied plaster on the scar on her shoulders. Seeing that the frostbite on her hands had gone down a little, her brows relaxed.

It was late at night, Xiao Feng added coal to the stove, washed his hands before going to bed.

He patted her on the back lightly, "Go to sleep."

Wan Jinlan didn't respond and closed her eyes.

Since leaving Beijing, the two have been together almost every day, cuddling up to each other in the cold winter night, if he doesn't come back, she can't fall asleep at all.

Her heart was complicated. She thought she was strong enough, but after leaving her grandparents, parents, and mothers, she still wanted to find someone to rely on.

Wan Jinlan turned over, turned her back to him and opened her eyes in the darkness.

Then his chest was pressed against her, with one hand on her waist, and his head on her neck, making her scalp numb while breathing.

"My neck is itchy, keep your head away from me." She said in a low voice, a layer of fine bumps had already formed on her body.

The corner of Xiao Feng's mouth curled into a slight smile, and after moving his head away, the hand on her waist did not move away.

Jinlan is really stubborn, she will unconsciously cling to him when she falls asleep at night, wrapping him tightly, but now she will keep a distance.
