Chapter 43 Nanling Town

The rugged mountain road becomes wider and flatter.

The land under my feet ranged from a soft path covered with a layer of leaves that creaked when stepped on to light yellow flat ground. Although there were still no people on the road, traces of wheels could be seen on the flat land.

They crossed a river, and the sound of rushing water gradually fell behind them until it disappeared.

Yuerong vaguely heard someone talking in front, "Mianmian, brother, there is someone in front."

Zhu Xingmian: "It should be going to the village."

They turned a corner and saw from a distance a tea shop built by a simple wooden shed, with a black letter on a plain background hanging on it, with the words Xu Ji Tea Shop written on it.

When the three of Yuerong passed by, they found that there was no one in the tea shop, only a couple sitting in the dusty world with big bags and small bags on their backs, and the wife was holding an unweaned baby in her arms.

Yue Rong didn't intend to stop here to drink water, but she saw the proprietress flipping open the steamer, revealing red, soft and glutinous pastries, with the aroma of red dates spread on the surface, it seems delicious.

Yuerong stopped in her tracks, "Brother, Mianmian, let's rest here for a while, and by the way, how far is it to the village?"

"Okay." Zhu Xingmian and Yun Lan had no objection, and the three found a seat in the back and sat down.

Although this store is simply set up on the side of the road, and the tables, chairs and benches are rough and simple, the hygiene inside is unexpectedly good.

It can be seen that the owner of this store is a capable person.

"Miss Boss, three red date cakes in your steamer."

Yue Rong originally wanted to give her and Zhu Xingmian each a piece, but thinking that Yun Lan had asked her for chestnut cake just now, she simply ordered it for Yun Lan as well.

Traveling down the mountain, of course, you have to see the scenery of Kyushu and eat all the delicacies of Kyushu.

"Okay." The proprietress replied loudly, quickly brought a plate of red date cakes, and brought them a pot of tea, and said with a smile, "This is water made from our local Zhezhe root. You can try it." Try it, give it away for free, no money."

"Thank you lady boss."

Yue Rong took the lead to eat a jujube cake, and by the way called Yun Lan and Zhu Xingmian to come together.

Zhu Xingmian heard the words, picked up one to eat, only Yun Lan looked at Yue Rong and then at Zhu Xingmian, picked up a jujube cake and put it into his mouth with a tangled expression.

In order to seek the Dao, in order to maintain a dignified and calm image in front of people, and to be a cool and dusty senior brother, in order to be praised by everyone, the perfect Yunlan Xianjun, he suppresses himself all the time, like this mortal thing , he hasn't eaten for a long time.

Yuerong bit down a big mouthful of jujube cake, and looked at Yun Lan with her big eyes bent into a crescent moon. As if she suddenly thought of something, she tugged at the corner of Yun Lan's clothes, and whispered in his ear, "Brother, this is the place under the mountain." , you can be yourself generously, what big brother Qingyunzong, Yunlan Xianjun, let them all go to hell."

Yun Lan's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look at Yue Rong, his eyes were frighteningly focused, under the dark eyes, there seemed to be a thriving love hidden.

He knew that although the little junior sister was always angry and gave him headaches, she was the only person in the world who understood him and understood him.

She doesn't ask about his changes, but she will always be by his side, whether he is Yun Lan who was mischievous in the past, or Yun Lan who is strict and strict later on, little junior sister is always there.

Before Yun Lan could speak, the little junior sister was attracted by the conversation between the proprietress and the guests.

Like a gust of wind, she stayed by his side for a short time, and then went to follow the next direction.

"Big sister, where are you going with a doll?"

"Let's go to Nanling Town to join relatives."

"Nanling Town?" The proprietress raised her voice suddenly, and then lowered her voice as if she was afraid of causing trouble, "Nanling Town is not a good place, you should go home quickly."

"How could that be?" the couple retorted, "My uncle and grandpa told me that life in Nanling Town is affluent, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing. Even the feng shui here is particularly supportive, and there are many old people who have lived to the age of [-]. .”

Yuerong turned her head to look over, and saw the proprietress sighed softly, shook her head, her eyes fell on the baby in the woman's arms, her expression couldn't bear it, "Then you go, you have to take care of your child."

She paused and said, "I heard that Nanling Town often loses children."

"You shopkeeper!"

"Why do you curse people with your mouth? Of course we will take care of our children."

Zhu Xingmian saw that Yuerong was looking at them all the time, and asked in a low voice, "Senior sister thinks there is something wrong with Nanling Town?"

Yue Rong regained consciousness and nodded slightly.

Nanling Town does not appear in the original book. This trip down the mountain, all the pen and ink in the original book focuses on the heroine's revenge and Yun Lan's death, and does not describe what happened on the way.

Yue Rong and the others finished eating the jujube cake, put the copper coins on the table, and prepared to continue on their way.

Before leaving, Zhu Xingmian specifically asked the proprietress how to get to the nearby villages.

The proprietress pointed to the road ahead and said, "Go straight along this road, turn left at the next intersection, and you will see the village."

Yuerong: "Tell me, what's the problem with Nanling Town that the proprietress mentioned?"

Zhu Xingmian lowered her head and pondered, "Just now the proprietress said that children are often lost there, and that the old people there live a long life."

"I don't know if there is a connection between the two."

Yuerong scratched her head and asked, "What does losing a child have to do with longevity?"

"Could it be that Feng Shui is really good there, and the children were lost because the local management is not strict and human traffickers are rampant?"

Yue Rong knew that in some places, due to the local environment, phenomena like longevity villages would appear.

Zhu Xingmian shook her head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Yun Lan stroked the sword at his waist and said, "When we get to the farmer's house, we can ask."

Although Yun Lan changed his face, he looked ordinary and indifferent, but the aura around him remained the same. At first glance, he still looked like a jade tree facing the wind, as ethereal as a fairy.

It was noon now, and there were many peasants busy planting crops in the farmland.

When they saw a stranger entering the village, they all raised their heads and looked at the three of them curiously. Seeing that the three of them had the demeanor of exiled immortals, and they all had swords hanging from their waists, they knew that they were someone they could not offend.

A little girl with shofar braids came forward, her round eyes stared at Yuerong and Zhu Xingmian curiously, "Sister, you are so beautiful, are you a fairy in the sky?"

Zhu Xingmian squatted down, touched her head with a smile, and said softly, "We are not fairies, but chivalrous women passing by."

"A chivalrous woman? What is a chivalrous woman?"

"I know, I know." A little boy with a dirty face and a tabby cat suddenly appeared, "Just like the heroes in Grandpa Liu's story, they...they will beat bad people!"

"Erhua, Maverick! You two, hurry up and get out of here! No one dares to come forward, I think some day the traffickers will abduct you!"
