That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 89 I met the mountain village

  During hundreds of miles, Gu Qingci still had the same high spirits as before, and almost didn't go begging. However, in this barren mountain, it is rare to meet a living person, and there is nowhere to beg for begging.

  The horse was not very upbeat, and couldn't run around a mountain. No matter whether Gu Qingci was coaxing, threatening, or twitching, it didn't help. That being the case, he simply let the horse go, took off the saddle and harness, and let the horse run towards the big woods. As for him, he packed lightly, carrying the Jade Bone Sword and the black box, and headed southwest step by step.

  Gu Qingci was on the top of the mountain, looking down the mountain.

  Under that hill! It is a long and endless mountain, and there is still heavy snow on the top of the mountain. It is a hopeless snow mountain.

  Across the mountains, there is a snowfield. At the end of the snowfield is Shanhaiguan, and inside Shanhaiguan is Jizhou. To the south of Jizhou, across the Taotao Yellow River, is Qingzhou. There is Ma Shilian's hometown.

  The mountains are long, the population is not dense enough, and the twilight is vast, and sometimes you can see the smoke rising from the kitchen, like a misty rain, which is like a "copper camel evening rain". Gu Qingci walked a long way, feeling a little regretful in his heart, if he hadn't let the horse go, he would have walked farther now.

  In the starlight of the night, Gu Qingci saw the lights, and felt excited, so he searched in that direction. However, there is a saying that goes well, Wangshan ran to death, this time, Gu Qingci really realized it.

  After traveling twenty miles, he landed and rested.

Ti Yunzong is a very good light skill, but it is the most suitable for fighting. After all, when he is in the air, he can use his left foot to step on his right foot. However, he is on the road now, and he just wants to run forward. Maybe not too bad.

  If it weren't for the characteristics of the Nine Suns Divine Art, the continuous internal force, he really wouldn't dare to rush like this.

   But it’s okay, judging by the distance, there are only less than ten miles left, and if it doesn’t work, it won’t be long.

  In the night, Gu Qingci stepped on the snow step by step and came to a small village. This was the only place he saw people after walking for a day after leaving Changling County.

  It was already this hour, so Gu Qingci planned to stay overnight and set off tomorrow morning.

Today, after being soaked in the snowflakes for a day, the clothes were quite clean. After being slightly shaken by the inner force of the nine suns, the sun-like luster fluctuated, so I dried the clothes. I just drove all day in the mountains, and there were many tattered and damaged places. A bit of ragged charm.

  At night, the doors of every household are closed tightly, and the only thing that can be seen is the dim light through the windows.

  Gu Qingci looked around casually, found a relatively large family, walked over, and knocked on the door lightly. In this silent night, the sound of "bang bang" was very abrupt.

   "crunch"

  The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a tall stature opened the door. He was surprised when he saw Gu Qingci at first glance, and then respectfully said: "Young master, who are you looking for?"

  The middle-aged man is just a very ordinary person. Although Gu Qingci looks a little embarrassed, his temperament, crown and hair, waist and jade pendant all reveal that he is not ordinary, at least he is not an ordinary person.

  When he saw Gu Qingci, he naturally lowered his attitude. This is the habit of ordinary people facing high-status people, and it is also sad.

How could Gu Qingci fail to see the state of the middle-aged man's heart, and also saw that the other party was very wary of him, so he smiled slightly, held the scholar, bowed slightly, and said flatly: "Brother, I'm I came from Changling County, headed for Qingzhou, passed by here, it was getting late, and it was too late to stay overnight, I wonder if it would be convenient?"

   "It turned out to be Mr. Xiucai." The middle-aged man was very excited, opened the door, and said, "Come, come, please come in, please come in, it's just that my place is a bit shabby, so please be patient!"

  Hearing the address of the other party, Gu Qingci was slightly taken aback, but he didn't explain it, because he understood that people in this remote area, too many people's perception of scholars is still at the point where a scholar is a great talent.

  Gu Qing resigned and entered the room, and immediately thanked: "Brother, thank you for taking me in."

  The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed, he smiled, and said: "Where is it, it should be, it should be, in this life, no one has any inconvenience, everyone, you help me and I help you get over it!"

   Soon, Gu Qingci chatted with this family warmly, and the person brought him a set of clothes.

After taking a quiet bath, Gu Qingci changed into that set of clothes. The quality of the shirts worn by ordinary peasants was much worse than that of the one he changed into. It was incomparable. Moreover, Gu Qingci actually had a change of clothes in the black box. It's just that he didn't want to help others' good intentions.

This Northern Frontier Fortress also belongs to the Great Xia Kingdom, but it is too remote and has not been specifically divided into that area. It is rare to see strangers all year round. Gu Qingci came here, and the people here are quite warm to him, inviting him The one was an Orion, surnamed Zhang, and Gu Qingci called him Big Brother Zhang. Zhang Orihu's wife is from Xianbei, but after living here for more than ten years, she is considered to be more than half of Han Chinese, and she gave birth to Zhang Orihu's son, and she also considers herself a Han Chinese.

  Zhang Orion was very enthusiastic about Gu Qingci, and sincerely took Gu Qingci to drink.

  The scenery of the northern country is extremely cold, and every household is always stocked with rice wine. Although this kind of wine is not a good wine, it has a good taste. If it is placed in a place in the south of the Yangtze River where the seasons are like spring, few people are really used to drinking it. However, even though Gu Qingci hadn't drank much alcohol, he had acquired the internal energy of the Nine Suns today, so it's not a bad deal to fight with Zhang Orion.

The two of them could barely be regarded as the match between Yu Liangcai and Mrs. Zhang's cooking skills are very good, and the side dishes are full of flavor. Zhang Liehu and Gu Qingci drank so much that they were hot and dry. They decided to go up the mountain to catch two wild game. Cook, and then, continue to drink it forever and ever.

  In these places, it is rare to see scholars on weekdays, and there are not many people who can even read, but they are all superior to others, but Gu Qingci is easy-going, so naturally Zhang Orion's warm hospitality and respect are also very powerful.

   Just do what you say, and as soon as the wine bowl was put away, Zhang Liehu took Gu Qingci a wolfskin robe from the house, and regardless of Gu Qingci's refusal, he wrapped it tightly for Gu Qingci. He also wrapped himself in animal fur that Gu Qingci had never seen before, carried a knife, carried a big bow on his back, took twenty arrows, and went out with Gu Qingci.

The daughter-in-law of Zhang Liehu has lived in this Han tribe for many years, and she has already developed the habit of a Han woman who is a husband and wife, and she dare not stop Zhang Liehu and Gu Qingci from going crazy at night. Be careful. But Zhang Orion's only youngest son was different.

  The youngest son of Zhang Orion is called Hutou. Zhang Orion is uneducated and thinks this name is easy to support. With a wave of his hand, Hutou, who has just landed, is given this name that Gu Qingci can't understand. However, the little tiger head really looks like his name, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, very cute. Seeing his father and Uncle Gu going hunting at night, he thought it was fun, so he ran out after him, grabbed his father and shouted: " Dad, Uncle Gu, I'm going too."
