Thief and Concubine: The Princess Attacks the Overlord's Mansion

Chapter 210 Mass Burial Mound [1]

On the fourth day, Xiao Ming and Lan Yunuan came to a village in the outskirts, which was close to a small hill. Below the hill was a whole piece of farmland. Several trees grew on the ridges of the field, reflecting a shade on the ground. , Not far away is the farm house with smoke curling up from the kitchen, and occasionally a few chickens and dogs can be heard.

Lan Yunuan met him standing in the field, eating a cantaloupe he picked up from someone who didn't know where, and said, "Why are you here, it doesn't look like a mass grave."

"That's why we can come here and ask."

Xiao Ming pulled her and walked around the fields pretending to be looking at the scenery, then walked to the fence of a farmhouse, knocked on the door, and said, "There is someone here."

"Who is it?" After a while, a village woman appeared in the courtyard holding the hand of a three or four-year-old child. Seeing the two of them, she asked, "What's the matter with you two?"

"My husband and I are playing here. Because the weather is hot, we didn't bring any water. I want to ask my sister-in-law for a glass of water." Xiao Ming pretended to be very gentle, with an obedient appearance of a scholar.

Lan Yunuan couldn't help but cast aside in her heart when she saw it. Sure enough, everyone in the palace was unfathomable.

The woman smiled and opened the door of the yard when she heard the words, and welcomed the two into the house.

After pouring two cups of herbal tea, the woman said with a smile: "Although the family is not rich, the water is cool. There is a spring on this mountain, and rich and noble families in the city often come here to fetch water and make tea."

Lan Yunuan picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp. It was indeed very mellow, with a hint of sweetness, and said, "Well, it's really delicious. Sister-in-law, give me another bowl."

"Okay." He poured another bowl and asked, "Where are you two from?"

"Oh, we are from the capital." Lan Yunuan replied.

"Oh, so it's from the capital. It's a big place. The little lady has never seen the world. You two laughed at me."

"Where is it?" Lan Yunuan laughed.

Xiao Ming also drank some water, and only then began his questioning, "Sister-in-law grew up here since she was a child?"

The woman nodded and said: "My natal family is from the next door village. I only married here five years ago, but it is very convenient. Sometimes I make some delicious food, and I can send some to my natal family."

Xiao Ming tapped the table with his slender fingers, and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is so lucky. Since my sister-in-law grew up here, I don't know if there are any interesting places around here. Let me introduce them."

Speaking of this, the woman had something to say, she pointed to the east, and said: "The east is the road to the city, I think the two of you have already played it, and the west is the small hills, go a little further. Day, it’s the snow mountain. If you two have leisure time, you can also go to enjoy the snow mountain. In the hot summer, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, which is really beautiful. And the south, now looks like the Great Plains, but in the past Some of them are a large lake with excellent scenery.”

"Heh, it's indeed right to come here this time. I think we are lucky to come here." Xiao Ming said, "What about the north side?"

As soon as the words came out, the woman's face changed, and she said after a while: "You two, I told you that you must never go to the north. I don't know how many years ago, there was a mass grave in the north. , the accumulation of corpses for thousands of years, coupled with the lack of yang energy in the north, it is very gloomy, even if the sun is so hot now, walking there is cold all over, and at night, I heard that there are still ghosts demanding their lives."
