Chapter 522 Tavern
The woman curled her lips, stamped her feet, pursed her lips and said.
"You can't build a house on this land. It's all sand. The foundation needs to be dug very deep. Besides, when the wind is strong, the roof will blow off, so why bother building it?"
Qin Yue and his party dismounted and followed the woman into the tavern. Xuan Feng and the others were waiting outside.
It's not big inside, it can even be said to be crowded, but there are five or six tables.
With a smile on her face, the woman asked them to sit down and went to get drinks from behind the counter. Qin Yue looked at the tavern inside and thought of the tavern in her previous life. They were similar, but not much different.
"Today, I only have three tables here, and they all went to Lanling Country. We didn't catch the time right, so we had to rest here."
She put wine on the table while talking to Qin Yue's family, and looked at Jing'er from time to time.
"She is such a little beauty. When she grows up, she will surely captivate the whole country. However, my sister doesn't like to hear what she says. Beauty is a disaster. It is better to disguise herself when she enters Lanling Kingdom."
"Why?"
"They were all snatched away and used as concubines in rich families."
"how about you?"
The woman chuckled: "Sister, if I don't go to Lanling Kingdom, they won't dare to come out casually. We also have officers and soldiers here. Besides, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is so powerful, they are afraid, but if you enter their place, you can't help it."
"Is there food?"
"There are cakes and dried meat, but no vegetables."
"Then let's have some cakes, and we'll bring the vegetables ourselves,"
"It's a good thing, but the ugly words come first. You have been here all the way, so you know the prices."
"know."
The woman smiled enchantingly and looked very good. The man at the table next to her kept looking at her and whistling at her from time to time. He seemed familiar to her.
The woman rolled her eyes at them, turned around, and smiled again.
After the cake was placed on the table, the children were dumbfounded, and Shi Shi was also stunned. Only Qin Yue was calm, she said to Shi Shi.
"Here, it's called bread. In our previous life, it was called bag, which means it's easy to carry."
Shitou wiped Qin Yue's hands with a wet wipe, then wiped them himself, then picked up the cake and knocked it with his hand.
"This cake is quite solid."
"molar."
As he said that, he took out a bag, opened it, and opened the mouth of the bag.
"Come on, let's just eat this. Those who can drink drink, and those who can't drink drink their own water. Let's make it a meal."
The child was also very curious about this cake, so he broke off a piece and tasted it. Well, it was indeed very satisfying.
But the water was fine. When the woman saw that they were disgusted, she sat next to Qin Yue's family.
"Where are you from?"
"North of the capital."
"It's so far."
"I've never been to Lanling Country, so bring your children to see it."
The woman rolled her eyes and said in a complaining tone: "You guys, there is no good place to go sightseeing, but here."
"What about you?" Qin Yue asked.
"My home is here, and I also want to go to your place, but it's hard to leave my homeland."
"Are you married?"
"Not long after I became a man, the man was hacked to death by bandits. I took my family and came here to make a living. Those bandits would not come outside the two countries."
Qin Yue put a handful of gold coins on the table: "Come, let's talk about Lanling Kingdom."
The woman's eyes lit up, she quickly grabbed the gold coins and put them in her bag.
Yuehua's eyes lit up: "Sister, your bag is very beautiful."
"It's convenient to make it yourself. If you know how to be a female celebrity, you can do it too."
"Wow, Sister Jing'er, you are good at this. If you make a few later, we can bring a lot of things."
Jinger smiled silently: "Okay!"
Her smile made the whole room light up, and the men at the next table looked straight in this direction.
Haotian glared at him and changed seats with Xinghai, blocking Jing'er. The woman also poured herself a glass of wine and spoke slowly.
"Speaking of the Lanling Kingdom, it was a little better in the past. The King of Lanling could still manage the country. He was very skilled in martial arts and the powerful people were afraid of him. Ever since Feng Shao from the southeast invaded, King Lanling had handed over state affairs to the national advisor. He would come back occasionally and then leave in a hurry."
"I heard he's back."
"But the man is crippled. If he hadn't been the national master, he would have been killed long ago. Now he is imprisoned by his brothers. He doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."
"Then who is the current leader of Lanling Kingdom?"
The woman shook her head: "The king of the country is chosen by the national master. If he doesn't let go, who dares to be the king?"
"Go on."
"You must disguise yourself when you enter. Children as handsome as these will be snatched away in a short time. The men can be waiters, and the women will not go to brothels. They are so good. Beauty is like being a concubine.”
"Why can't she be the head wife?"
The woman smiled bitterly: "The Lanling Kingdom has become so virtuous, and their powerful people still look down on outsiders. A real wife? It would be nice to have a concubine."
"How is the character of Lanling Kingdom?"
"Less, a lot less. I don't know how much exactly. In the past, they would have restricted the entry of outsiders, but now, instead of stopping them, they have reduced the entrance fee."
"Does it mean there's a population shortage?"
"It's not their own fault. They use the people as slaves. They don't care about their illness or anything else. They just leave them to die. How many people like that can afford a wife?"
"Without human life, the natural population will be reduced."
Speaking of this woman, she cursed: "Those powerful people never look squarely at outsiders, but they get what they want from outsiders, money, things, and people."
"Human traffickers from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty also trafficked people here?"
"Yes, the good ones are played by the powerful, while the bad ones are directly worked as slaves. Many people die in Lanling Kingdom every day. It would be fine if they died normally, but they all died miserably, and , there is an unwritten rule in Lanling Kingdom, that is, old people over sixty will be directly sentenced to death. "
"why?"
"Those powerful people believe that when people get old, they should die, and living will waste food and water."
"What about them being sixty themselves?"
"That's okay. The bigger you live, the better."
Qin Yue gritted her teeth, okay, others will die at the age of sixty. You still want to live forever at the age of sixty. When I go, a group of the powerful people over sixty years old will be sent away first to kill their prestige.
Shameless!
The woman drank bowl after bowl of wine, and kept talking to Qin Yue and others about Lanling Kingdom. Her ability to drink was not bad, and she didn't feel drunk at all after drinking a bottle.
Seeing that the guests had eaten and drank enough, they led Qin Yue and the others onto their horses and entered the backyard through the side door.
"There are six sheds here. Each shed has a lock on the door, and each shed has a big bed inside. Three of them are occupied now, and three are still empty."
"How many rooms do you want?"
"Two rooms, two separate rooms for men and women are enough."
"There are candles inside. You can light them with flints yourself, or you can go to the front to light a fire and go back. These are the keys to the two rooms."
As soon as the woman left, Qin Yue gave Shi Shi a key.
"Sleep peacefully, don't worry."
"it is good!"
After entering, there were actually beddings. Qin Yue and the others naturally didn't use these, so they put on the quilts and went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, strong winds started and the temperature suddenly became cold, but Qin Yue could not feel anything in the two sheds.
At dawn, Qin Yue's family had had enough sleep. They removed the barrier and opened the door. They were dumbfounded.
The courtyard was in a mess, as if it had been robbed. The proprietress was cleaning up when she saw the family was stunned for a moment and immediately smiled awkwardly.
"You see, it's always like this here. Your shed is fine. The roof hasn't been blown away, but everyone else's has been blown away. The night is cold, and everyone is almost sick from the cold."
"Really? How cold are the nights here?"
The woman thought for a while: "Although I have never been to the north, it is cold enough here to snow."
"Well, it's hot during the day because of the yellow sand, and it's cold at night because of the yellow sand."
"Yes, sometimes it rains during the day, and at night, it snows."
"Interesting, check out, we are going to Lanling Country."
