Chapter 59 Partridge Mountain

"What's hidden in the mountain?" Song Qingyou was even more curious, looking at Xiao Qishu with bright eyes.

"There are rumors that the huge treasure left by the former emperor is buried on Zhegu Mountain, which is several times larger than the national treasury." Xiao Qishu's voice became a little distant, and his eyes kept staring in one direction, as if through Looking at something through the void.

Song Qingyou paid attention to what Xiao Qishu was looking at flawlessly, and when she heard about the huge amount of treasure, her eyes started to shine.

Treasure!It’s still several times more than the national treasury!

If she found it, wouldn't she be rich!
Oh no!
Song Qingyou smiled and suddenly stopped.

She looked at Xiao Qishu suspiciously, "Since the emperor knows that Zhegu Mountain has treasures, why did he ask us to dig water canals? Shouldn't he seal up that mountain and order people to dig for treasures?"

Hearing Song Qingyou's question, Xiao Qishu's eyes showed a hint of admiration, as if to say: It's okay, not so stupid.

Song Qingyou seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, her eyes widened suddenly, and she raised her hand to punch Xiao Qishu.

This punch was neither painful nor itchy, it seemed to be flirting.

Xiao Qishu felt that Song Qingyou was cute more and more, but he didn't mention a word about Song Qingyou's question after laughing.

Seeing that Xiao Qishu didn't answer, Song Qingyou didn't ask any more questions.

Everyone has secrets that cannot be told to others, and she also has secrets, so there is no need to get to the bottom of everything.

Thinking of this, Song Qingyou took out two from the bag, ate one by himself, and handed the other to Xiao Qishu's mouth.

Xiao Qishu was a little surprised.

He originally thought that Song Qingyou would ask to the end. Even if he didn't ask, he might be dissatisfied with his avoidance.

But she didn't say anything, and she wasn't even half unhappy.

The wild fruit exuded a sweet aroma. Somehow, Xiao Qishu didn't reach out to take it, but opened his mouth to bite it.

The soft lips touched the fingertips inadvertently, and both of them were stunned.

Song Qingyou opened her eyes wide, and retracted her hand with a whoosh.

Just at this time, the officials had finished their discussion and called everyone to set off.

Song Qingyou pretended to be calm, stood up with the baggage on his back, and didn't look at Xiao Qishu again.

She wanted to pretend that she didn't care, but it was a bit of a cover-up.

Xiao Qishu chewed the wild fruit calmly, but his eyes kept falling on Song Qingyou's back.

Xiao Yiran in front of him turned his head and just saw this scene. He saw a rare softness in Xiao Qishu's eyes.

Could it be that Xiao Qishu really fell in love with Song Qingyou?

As soon as this idea came up, Xiao Yiran felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart.

During the period of exile, he has changed from his initial dislike of Song Qingyou to his current inexplicable attitude.

Perhaps even he himself was not aware of the changes in his heart, but when he saw Song Qingyou and Xiao Qishu behaving intimately, his subconscious reaction had exposed his true thoughts.

Song Qingyou shouldn't be like this!
She should have been around him all the time, even if she married Xiao Qishu, it was because of her love for him, Xiao Yiran, and she was the next best thing.

Song Qingyou married Xiao Qishu because she wanted to be closer to him!
Xiao Yiran gradually fell into a kind of paranoid thoughts. His eyes were fixed on Song Qingyou, with a hint of stubbornness.

"Brother, let's go." Seeing Xiao Yiran standing still, Xiao Ningning raised her hand and pushed him.

Only then did Xiao Yiran regain his senses, lowered his head to hide the emotion in his eyes, and set off with the team.

Because it was a temporary diversion, the officials did not check the road conditions ahead. If you want to arrive within a day, you have to take the mountain road.

The mountain road is dangerous and there are many unknown dangers. They can only move forward gropingly.

The Xiao family complained endlessly about this, but Song Qingyou enjoyed it.

She found a lot of herbs in the mountains, some of which were precious and rare.

Song Qingyou even discovered herbs that could cure Xiao Qishu's sepsis.

She carefully dug it out and put it into the space when no one was paying attention to her.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and everyone lost strength after walking for more than an hour.

The official was also tired, thinking that he could arrive before dark, so he asked the big guys to rest for a while.

Xiao Ningning leaned softly against the bearded man not far from the bearded officer for the sake of two bites, and occasionally hooked him with his eyes, which made the bearded man feel itchy.

If it wasn't for too long a delay at this time, I'm afraid he would have dragged Xiao Ningning into the woods long ago.

In order for Xiao Ningning to work harder at night, the bearded man took out a thick flour pancake from his bag and threw it to Xiao Ningning.

Xiao Ningning took it and secretly separated from Tang Yulian and Xiao Yiran.

Xiao Yiran looked at the pancakes that his younger sister bought with his body, a faint dislike flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't resist the hunger in his belly, so he still took it and ate it.

Taking advantage of the break, Song Qingyou's consciousness entered the space and studied whether those precious herbs that were no longer needed could be exchanged for something.

After the herbs were put in, the vending machine beeped twice, the page where you can choose to exchange items flickered, and the gray icon that had not been unlocked before also lit up.

Didn’t expect that herbs can also be used to unlock redeemable items?
This is really a windfall!

Song Qingyou swiped back on the page and found that the newly unlocked items included medicines, food and various tools.

It's just that these items are more expensive than the previous ones. There is a detector among them, which is very complete in function. It should be able to detect metal and water sources, but it actually costs a hundred taels of gold to exchange!

Gold!Song Qingyou blinked, then turned her head to flip through the pile of things that she had searched before.

Most of them are silver jewelry, not even gold jewelry.

It's too expensive too...

Song Qingyou regretted putting all Huang Xiaocui's gold back.

But Huang Xiaocui's property was snatched from the hands of the people and was their hard-earned money. How could she really keep it for herself?

After thinking about it, I still have to find a way to get some gold.

When Song Qingyou left the space, his mood dropped a lot in an instant.

Xiao Qishu was keenly aware of the emotional changes of the people around him, so he glanced sideways at her.

The two looked at each other, Song Qingyou opened his mouth to ask Xiao Qishu if he had any gold, but then he thought that this guy depends on her for food and drink, how could he have gold?
Alas, she was still too poor.

Song Qingyou sighed inwardly, fell at the end of the line, and walked forward with nothing to love.

After crossing this mountain and walking for another hour, they arrived at Zhegu Mountain.

Partridge Mountain is very big. It is not one mountain, but several mountains connected together. There are several villages at the foot of the mountain, all of which are large villages with more than a hundred households.

This is also one of the reasons why the imperial court sent people to dig water canals in Zhegu Mountain.

There are too many people and too many fields. If it is true that there is no harvest due to drought, the court may not collect a lot of taxes during the autumn harvest.

When everyone arrived at the nearest village, it was already dark. The sky was so dark that not a single star was visible, which made people feel depressed.

When the village chief heard that they were sent by the imperial court to help dig ditches, his attitude became visibly enthusiastic.

"Come, come, these two rooms have been empty, but they are still clean. You stay here first, and I will get someone to prepare food for you." The village chief led the crowd to a courtyard at the head of the village.
