Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 91: Violent Bones
The ancient Guzhu Kingdom, the ancient city of the Yin princes, is located in the south of Lulong County.

The manor built by Gongsun Zan for Yaonv is located in this ancient country of lonely bamboos, beside the wet river.

"Madam, we are here!"

When Alan's report came, Gongsun Yan was teaching Gongsun how to recognize numbers behind the car curtain, and he was not in good spirits.

It's not that Gongsun Cheng was stupid and couldn't teach him for a long time, she was depressed and angry about it.

Instead, she left the Lingzhi boundary and gradually entered Lulong. She had always had a strong curiosity about this time and space. She leaned against the window and saw several dilapidated and abandoned forts beside the ancient road, as well as some burrows lying on the roadside. corpse.

Several bodies appeared every once in a while, the number was small, but it never stopped.

It was thrown carelessly on the side of the road in a zigzag way. The passing caravans probably stopped to one side because they didn't want the convoy to run over it.

Some of these bones are already white bones, and some have not yet completely rotted. Skewers of rotten flesh hang on the black and red skeletons, and small black beetles move in and out.

There were no clothes on the bodies, and someone had stripped them off.

On the way from Yi Jing to Lingzhi, perhaps because of the heavy snow, she didn't see any of this.

At this time, the weather became slightly warmer, and the things covered under the snow were exposed.

When they first met, she felt uncomfortable, and then gradually became numb.

Previously, soldiers were asked to wear hoods and gloves to drag and burn the bodies, which not only allowed the deceased to rest in peace, but also prevented the half-rotted corpses from spreading the disease after the hot weather.

But later it was discovered that one body nearby had been burned, and there was another body in the withered yellow cattails in the distance.

Burn endlessly.

Gongsun Yan simply put it down and waited to find a way to deal with it later. She believed that there must be a lot of rotten bones accumulated in those fortresses that were breached, and one mistake would often cause a major epidemic.

Although I put this matter aside for the time being, the depression in my heart could not be dissipated for a while.

This emotion reached its peak especially when I saw the tiny skeleton of a baby scattered beside a withered skeleton.

She silently lowered the car curtains on both sides and stopped looking.

Seeing her looking sad and lowering the curtain, Zhao Yun, who was riding with her, thought for a while, said something to Gongsun Cheng who was sitting in front of him, and carried Gongsun Cheng back to the car.

Gongsun Cheng had no complaints as he could no longer ride a horse. He obeyed Zhao Yun's words obediently, returned to the car, kicked off his shoes, and climbed onto Gongsun Yan's lap.

Gongsun Yan hugged him and gently rubbed his soft face. After a few days of rest in Lingzhi, his condition improved a lot and the flesh on his face started to grow again.

Such silent comfort and care from others warmed her heart. She hugged Gongsun Cheng on her knees and enlightened him on mathematics.

I took out the little enlightenment picture book I bought from the system, taught him how to recognize numbers, and told him stories at the same time, just killing time like this.

On the way, we rested for a night at a completely deserted post house, and arrived at Lone Bamboo Manor at noon the next day.

"Ma'am, here we are."

Alan's voice came from outside the car.

"coming."

After a while, Gongsun Yan took Gongsun Cheng and walked out to join the car.

The car stopped on a hillside. A high rammed earth wall was built on the top of the slope, and there was a watchtower and arrow tower several dozen meters apart.

As far as the eye can see, the rammed earth wall extends into the dense forest in the distance with no end in sight.

Surrounding the wall is a moat.

Gongsun Yan looked at the tall and large village gate in front of him and was a little confused. This gate seemed to be even bigger than Xiangguan.

At this time, the gate of the village that was closed in the past was opened, and the people who came to greet him stood in front of the lowered suspension bridge.

Standing at the front was Tian Kai, followed by Xia Houlan, Zhang Ze and the manor steward Zhou Xing.

There are also a large number of troops wearing scribe uniforms or fine armor standing in line behind them.

Even the rammed-earth city walls had several groups of solemn warriors standing on them.

This is obviously to welcome them to make arrangements for the ceremony.

Being stared at by so many people at once, Gongsun Yan showed some timidity for a moment, but she had always been good at managing her expressions and did not show it on her face.

Gongsun Cheng who was on the side suddenly hid behind her, hugging her legs and refusing to let go.There were people waiting in front, so she couldn't stand on the carriage like this.

On the side, Ah Qing and Alan set up the pedals for getting off the car.

Gongsun Yan wanted to coax Gongsun Cheng to let go and let Ah Qing hold him. In the past, the two could play together, but now Gongsun Cheng refused to let Ah Qing hold him.

Gongsun Yan had no choice but to hug him, tilting his head and paying attention to his feet so as not to step on his skirt. On the first day, he fell flat on his face in front of everyone.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun came over and smoothly took Gongsun Cheng with one hand. He grabbed Gongsun Yan's arm with the other hand and helped her down steadily.

Gongsun Yan comforted her and fell to the ground. Feeling relieved, she heard the voice of someone coming to greet her from a distance: "Welcome my dear lady, young master, go home!"

Everyone drank together, and the loud voice spread throughout the valley.

Come back home.

It was supposed to be a very touching word, but at this moment Gongsun Yan only felt a little embarrassed and silently took a step next to Zhao Yun.

I don't know who did it.

Gongsun Chengze hugged Zhao Yun's neck tightly without raising his head amid the mountain call.

It seemed that it was not good not to respond. Gongsun forced a smile on his face and waved gently as a greeting.

"Hahahahaha." Tian Kai smiled all the way and walked over, "Welcome home, little lady and young master!"

Well, the mastermind was found.

Gongsun Yan smiled helplessly. She wanted to say not to waste this energy on such a useless ceremony next time. It was so embarrassing, but when the words came to her lips, they turned into: "Thank you, Uncle Tian, ​​for taking the trouble."

"Quickly, enter the village and take a good look at the things your father prepared for you before he was alive."

During the Lingzhi period, Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Cheng made a temporary property division under the witness of the Gongsun family.

Lingzhi Manor belonged to Gongsun Cheng, and Guzhu Manor was originally a dowry prepared by Gongsun Zan for Gongsun Yan, so it belonged to her name.

Now that Gongsun Cheng was young, he handed over the manor to his sister to take care of it, and he would only dispose of it when he became an adult.

Gongsun Yan sat back in the car again, but Gongsun Cheng refused to come back from Zhao Yun's arms, so Zhao Yun took him on horseback, followed by Tian Kai and others.

The wheels rolled again, Gongsun Yan rolled up the car curtains again, and began to look at this manor that would be of great significance to him.

After passing the suspension bridge, there was the Zhai Gate, which was almost comparable to the Xiangguan City Gate. Gongsun Yan also saw some marks of slashing with swords and some black and red marks on it.

After passing the village wall, the car was walking on the loess driveway. Gongsun Yan looked into the distance and could see connected houses and thatched dwellings dotted in the mountain col in the distance.

A stream runs through the middle.

Just like a chessboard, each square is planned very neatly, making people feel comfortable when they see it.

"Steward Zhou, why don't you introduce me to the young lady?" Steward Zhou Xing, who I had seen before, was riding on a horse and was pushed by Tian Kai to Gongsun Yan's car window.

"This manor was planned by Manager Zhou from scratch." Tian Kai expressed his admiration for Zhou Xing and seemed to intend to give him a chance to express himself.

In fact, Tian Kai didn't need an introduction. Gongsun Yan was also deeply impressed by Manager Zhou.

At this moment, his hair was still sparse and his eyes were green and black, but he had changed into a clean starched robe.

Zhou Xing's mother was a Xianbei slave and his father was a Jia man. With such a background, he suffered a lot when he was young.

Relying on his natural sensitivity to numbers, he learned arithmetic. Later, when he was most impoverished, he responded to the recruitment of soldiers and followed Gongsun Zan as a minor official in the army.

But after the battle of Guanzicheng, Gongsun Zan's temperament changed drastically, so he was left in western Liaoning to take care of Gongsun Zan's family business.

He saw Gongsun Yan's behavior in the main hall of Lord Gongsun's house that day, and knew that the young lady who was about to take over Guzhu Manor was no ordinary boudoir girl.

He also knew that the captain surnamed Zhao in the army would serve as the magistrate of Lulong County. He was unwilling to live in depression because of his bloodline.

At this time, I want to perform well, earn a future, and help my children and grandchildren get rid of this lowly status.

Tian Kai also knew his details. The two had cooperated in the military and wanted to help him, so he pushed him to the front.

It's just that Zhou Xing, although talented, is not a good talker. At such a moment, he actually became nervous.

Gongsun Yan did not rush him, nor did he feel dissatisfied. He only listened patiently to Zhou Xing's introduction to the planning and layout of the manor.
