Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 822 Road

Lao Zhou lowered his head and thought, "It seems that there are three roads. In addition to the official road, there are two roads to Luojiang County. Not far away, after the official road is repaired, the road is easy to follow, and that road will no longer be taken. These years, the grass has been overgrown and wasted."

   "Then twelve years ago, if you were to drive into Luojiang County by car, which way would you take?"

Old Zhou thought for a while and said: "At that time, the road from our Qili Village to Luojiang County had not been repaired. There were two roads to drive back. One is the approaching one, which is more bumpy, but faster. Also. One is to take the one that I said was deserted. There used to be merchants on that road, so it's still a good way to go."

  The Qian was silent for a while and then said: "My sister-in-law only came from Shangzhou at that time, and the journey was exhausting. The second child always feels distressed. He may choose to take the easier way."

  The Tang county magistrate asked, "Is that road connected to the mountain where Zhou Yin and his wife were found?"

  Lao Zhoutou nodded together.

  The Tang county magistrate invited Man Bao and Bai Shan, "Shall we go take a look together?"

  Old Zhoutou immediately said: "Master Tang, the road is not easy to walk, should I let my four boys go with you? He knows the way."

  Tang county magistrate smiled and nodded, "That's the best."

  While talking, Mother Liu brought two bowls of porridge in. Bai Shan beckoned her to put the porridge on the table next to him and Man Bao.

  Lao Mrs. Liu understood at a glance, and said with a smile: "I was restless in the morning and didn't eat enough? Then go to the side room to eat."

   said to Grandma Liu again: "Go to the kitchen to get some side dishes and steamed buns. Young people are growing up and eating a lot."

  The Tang county magistrate looked at Man Bao with a smile. He didn't realize that Bai Shan was not full when he had breakfast on the same table with Bai Shan in the morning.

  Qian realized it after thinking about it. When they went out, Man Bao hadn't come to the compound to eat breakfast, but she didn't say anything in front of outsiders.

  Man Bao glanced at the county magistrate of Tang, and then at his parents, making sure that they would not sneak away when they went down for breakfast, so he took a bowl and went to the next room for breakfast with Bai Shan.

Bai Shan was not very hungry, so he didn't move. After she had eaten half of the bowl, he allocated half of the meat porridge in her bowl to her, while still whispering: "I thought of going with us, you said we can Did you find something?"

  Man Baodao: "Try it."

  Grandma Liu brought a cage of steamed buns and a plate of pickles.

  Man Bao thanked him and continued to eat. Bai Shan looked a little hungry. After eating the porridge in the bowl, he also ate two small steamed buns.

  Grandma Liu couldn’t help but grinned, and she persuaded, “Young Master and Miss Man, both eat more. They are going to climb the mountain later. There is no hot food to eat in the wilderness.”

  Man Bao and Bai Shan nodded together, and Man Bao replied: "Pour some hot water into the water bag. It should be warm until noon."

  Grandma Liu smiled and answered "Yes", and prepared them all the food and things they had to go out.

  This time, not only Daji and Chulang will follow, but also Liu Gui, the son of Grandma Liu, who didn't take anyone with him, and stood quietly beside the car.

  The county magistrate Tang saw him only when he got in the car, couldn’t help but pause, and asked, "This person is?"

Mrs. Liu explained: "This is a domestic servant. Since four years ago, he has been quietly looking for people on the mountain, but he has not been able to find anything. He is very familiar with the mountain, so he asked him to take the adults. Come together."

  Tang County magistrate nodded.

  He got in the car in the Bai family courtyard. No one had seen him except the bailiffs of the Bai family and Lao Zhoutou and his wife.

After going out, Bai Shan and Man Bao climbed into the car, but they didn't get into the car, but sat on the shaft with their legs swayed. A villager asked when they saw it, "Man Bao, what are you doing? ?"

  Man Baodao: "Go for a walk and take a look at the county seat."

  The people in the village are also used to it, just curiously asked: "Why doesn't the second son go with him?"

  Bai Shan said without thinking: "He hasn't gotten up yet."

   "Oh oh," the villagers understood, and laughed: "It was too much trouble to get up last night, right?"

  Bai Shan is really right. Bai Erlang hasn't gotten up yet. When he got up from the bed to look for his friends to play, he found that his two friends had disappeared again. Once asked, he had gone into the county town.

  Hakujiro turned around very unhappy and went to find his other friends to play with.

  Today the temple fair was still lively, and a group of teenagers liked to join in the fun, so they encouraged Bai Er to go to the temple fair with them.

   Bai Erlang hesitated and said: "My father forbids me to go, just go on the right day, and there is no need to go again today."

   "It's also fun at home, and it's also fun when going out. Why do you want to separate it?" Said one person: "Bai Shan and the others also went out to play?"

"I also saw the subordinates of Bai Shan and his family go to Dali Village, as if they were going to give something to the Taoist and the little Taoist priests. "

  Shirajiro was so excited that he couldn't help nodding, "Okay."

At this time, Bai Shan and their carriage had just arrived on the official road. On Thursday, Lang was standing on the cowl and looked at the road for a long time before he could see where the road was. There was already overgrown with weeds, and he could hardly see that it was a road. .

  Daji glanced at the "road", then tore the carriage from the official road, found an open space near the road and stopped, and then unloaded the carriage.

   County magistrate Tang also got out of the car. They were the only people around here, so he didn't need to hide.

  He stepped forward and took a look at the road that was vaguely visible, and asked: "It is directly connected with the official road?"

   "No, this is an extended section. If you come from Yizhou City, you can go straight to Luojiang County." Chu Lang took out his sickle to open the way, and Liu Gui followed to help.

  The county magistrate of Tang followed them in and asked curiously, "Why is this road deserted?"

"The official road is repaired, and no money is collected, naturally no one will leave." Thu Lang tilted his head and thought carefully, and said: "It seems that when I was a child, officers and soldiers would set up roadblocks on the official road to collect money. It's tattered, and everyone naturally doesn't like to walk. There is a small road next to it. Although it is a little smaller, you can also walk with a carriage. There is a car on the front, and then let it pass by. It is better than an official. Dao is strong, so everyone follows this path."

   “I don’t remember when, the adults began to withdraw the officers and soldiers who set up the roadblocks, and let us serve the official road for labor service. No one would go on this path anymore. It became like this in 1989.”

  Tang County magistrate nodded, turned to ask Liu Gui, "Have you come here to check?"

   Liu Gui said: "I have been here, but I can't find anything."

  　 The next update is around nine o'clock in the evening
