After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

What Liu Ji said did sound damaging to the reputation of the new county magistrate, but looking at the suicide note and the peasants who came to report the news, the county magistrate had to nod, "As far as we know, this is indeed the case."

The county magistrate said anxiously: "Several hours have passed since the suicide note was dropped from the mountain. If the trapped person is really the new county magistrate, and his life is at stake, we can't absolve ourselves of the blame. Please trouble Liu Juren to run over and ask for help." Village Chief Qin will meet us at Liao Feng Mountain. I will thank you sincerely when the job is done!"

Upon hearing the last three words, Liu Ji's eyes lit up, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, clasped his fists and gave the order.

After leaving the Yamen, Liu Ji trotted all the way to the city gate to take out the carriage, and then drove to the village at full speed. Old Huang ran so fast that he almost lost his breath, and it only took more than an hour to reach home.

Before he could stop the carriage in time, Liu Ji jumped out of the car and ran into the courtyard gate with excitement and excitement, shouting:

"Madam! Our chance to flatter is here! No, it's my chance to flatter!"

Fortunately, he changed his mind in time. How could his noble wife be implicated in such flattery?

It's him!

It was Liu Ji who insisted on doing this!

"Madam, the newly arrived county magistrate was trapped in the middle of the mountain when he climbed up to collect wind. He couldn't go up or down. He was so angry that he wrote a suicide note on the spot and threw it down. He was picked up and reported to the official. I almost didn't laugh out loud. How could such a stupid and cowardly person trap himself in the middle of a mountain, hahaha. Ugh!”

The laughter suddenly stopped because Qin Yao, who was checking accounts, raised her eyes and cast an irritated glare.

"The new county magistrate is trapped halfway up the mountain?" Qin Yao frowned. She doubted the authenticity of such an outrageous thing.

Liu Ji didn't believe it at first, but it was the truth.

"Madam, this is absolutely true." Liu Ji stepped forward, briefly described his encounter with the farmer who reported the letter and the content of the suicide note, and said seriously: "It was the county magistrate who asked me to call you. "Can you help me? I'll thank you greatly when the job is done."

Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Liu Ji raised his hand and swore, "If I lied to you even a little bit about what I just said, I will be struck by thunder and you will die!"

"Okay." Qin Yao signaled him to put down his raised paw, put down his work and stood up to ask: "In which direction is Liao Feng Mountain? How long does it take for us to get there now?"

"The mountain is not far away. It's only a dozen miles north from the official road of the county. It has been a dangerous place since ancient times, but the scenery at the top is wonderful. Literati often climb the mountain and write poems."

Liu Ji raised his head and looked at the sky, "It will take more than two hours to get there now at the fastest."

"It will be evening by then." Qin Yao frowned, thought for a moment, and asked Liu Ji to prepare torches and ropes, just in case.

"By the way, get another quilt, maybe it will be useful." If the person is still alive.

Liu Ji nodded and watched her go into the house to change clothes. Knowing that she was going to save people, he hurriedly found Awang and asked him to prepare everything Qin Yao needed and move it to the carriage.

Qin Yao changed into clothes that were convenient for movement, and only carried a pair of slingshots tucked around her waist for self-defense. She went into battle lightly and got into the carriage with Liu Ji.

Instructing Awang and Yin Le to take care of their home, the couple immediately drove to Liao Feng Mountain.

While Liu Ji was driving, Qin Yao sat in the carriage and asked what happened, and sorted out the information about Liao Fengshan.

Liu Ji had never been to that place, and had only heard from people that the mountains there were high and the roads were dangerous, and the only way to the top was a stone path along the ridge.

"You can only step on half of the stone steps at one level. It goes straight up and down. There are no guardrails on the left and right. It just makes your legs weak and your heart trembles."

Having said this, Liu Ji then remembered that if he wanted to save someone, he had to walk up the steep and narrow stone steps. If he failed to save someone, what would he do if he was trapped on the mountain instead?

The carriage suddenly stopped, Qin Yao frowned slightly: "Why did you stop?"

"Madam, why don't we go back." Liu Ji turned around and suggested seriously.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows curiously, "Didn't you just say that this is a great opportunity? As long as we save this person, the new county magistrate will definitely owe us a big favor and he will have to make things easier for us in the future. "

Liu Jishan scratched his head, "What if it's not? The county magistrate just says it is? He has never met the new county magistrate. If he admits the wrong person, we will suffer a big loss." "What's more, what's more, the mountain road is steep, and we are alone. It’s difficult to climb a mountain, let alone bring someone else with you. Even a martial arts master may not be able to escape unscathed.”

Qin Yao's lips curved slightly: "You are worried about me."

Liu Ji's eyes widened instantly, and when he saw her confident smiling face, he became angry and turned around with an exaggerated laugh, "How is that possible!"

His mind turned, he might die miserably if he said this, and he said "Hmm" as softly as a mosquito.

Qin Yao flicked the back of his plump and plump head with her fingertips, "I don't see that you Liu San still has any conscience."

"But wealth and wealth are found in danger. Come and see, it's better to go and see the situation first."

Qin Yao ordered: "Let's go!"

Liu Ji's body instinct was faster than his brain reaction. He immediately swung the reins and urged the horse forward.

After all the horses had run far away, I finally realized what I was doing. I was annoyed at myself for following my instinct, and also worried that she would never come back from climbing the mountain.

"If it's too dangerous, forget it." Liu Ji said suddenly and silently.

Qin Yao smiled, "Yeah."

It seemed that he knew nothing about her strength.

After traveling for more than two hours, the couple finally arrived at the foot of Liaofeng Mountain to meet with the county magistrate.

The sun was almost setting. The trees in the mountains were blocking the view, making the light a little darker. Officials had already lit torches.

Seeing Qin Yao, the county magistrate hurriedly came forward to explain the current situation to her.

A group of official messengers have been sent up, calling out the name of the new county magistrate loudly, and a faint response came. The distance can be roughly determined, and it is at the midpoint of Liao Feng Mountain.

An official who was good at climbing brought some water and food up there, and also confirmed the identity and current condition of the trapped person.

Now that the water delivery officer has not returned yet, everything will have to be arranged until he comes down.

Qin Yao glanced at the area in front where officials and nearby villagers were surrounded, "Can I go check out the hiking trail first?"

The county magistrate nodded, ordered everyone to get out of the way, and led Qin Yao and his wife to the trailhead.

With just one glance, Qin Yao knew that the straight up and down in Liu Ji's words was not an exaggerated description, but a realistic description.

The hiking trail is really straight up.

According to the stone slope of the ridge, steps were cut out manually with chisels, with a width of less than half a meter and a depth of less than a hand.

In the initial section, there are iron cables hanging on both sides, so you can use your hands to lend strength.

Once you cross the five-meter-high stone steps, you will see bare stone walls, branches and weeds.

The only good thing is that the road above has a slope and is no longer 90 degrees straight. You can still climb up by bending down.

Of course, that's assuming you don't have a fear of heights.

Otherwise, if you stop on the mountain and look back, you will see that there is no support on all sides, and the straight cliffs are extremely steep. Just looking at it makes your legs weak.

Liu Ji had just laughed at the new county magistrate for being stupid and timid. Now he was crawling behind Qin Yao across the straight section, and when he looked back, he felt dizzy! (End of chapter)
