Chapter 748: The Kingdom of Women (2)
The surrounding scenery gradually became clear.
What appeared before my eyes was a peaceful river.
On both sides of the river are quaint streets with bluestone roads, white-walled and black-tiled houses, and rows of red lanterns hanging in front of shops along the street.
The red light illuminated the streets and the river, and seemed to cover the world with a layer of blood.
Looking around, you can hear people bustling on the streets, hawking and chatting.
It looks like an ordinary old country town.
Aunt Cui looked at it and suddenly recognized this place:
"This is our county! I've seen old photos from a hundred years ago, and it looks like this, that's right."
"Later, the town gradually expanded and became a county. The old ruins were preserved and became a pedestrian street."
"Have we traveled back to more than a hundred years ago? Why are there so many women on the shore, but not a single man?"
They were looking at the people on the shore, and the people on the shore also noticed them. They gathered together and pointed and talked:
"Look, look, there are strangers coming again."
"Ah! There are men. Two men came this time."
"Hehe, they are two very handsome men. I wonder who is lucky enough to marry them and spend a night with them?"
"That man in black is so handsome! I wish he could be my husband."
"Don't be so wishful! When the human race comes, they will definitely be presented to His Majesty and the princes and ministers. How can it be our turn to enjoy it?"
The discussions on the shore, accompanied by gusts of fragrant breeze, reached Jiang Shu's ears. He inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it in a book.
The boat finally stopped.
The woman rowing the boat didn't say anything, she just stood there blankly.
The dock was crowded with people, all staring at the newcomer with curiosity.
Instead, he ignored the rowing ghost.
At this time, a group of soldiers holding weapons and wearing armor separated the crowd and walked out.
The soldiers were also women, led by a female general who shouted in a cold voice, "Please get off the boat."
Aunt Cui asked fearfully, "Is it okay not to get off the boat?"
The female general said: "If you don't want to get off the boat, throw it into the river to feed the ghosts!"
Aunt Cui shuddered and dared not speak.
After seeing Sang Feiwan, Yu Beiming, and Jiang Shu get off the boat one after another, she hurriedly followed them ashore, fearing that if she was a step late, she would really be left behind to feed the wronged souls.
——She just saw that there were many ghostly shadows under the river, and she didn’t know how many monsters were hiding!
"Follow us!"
"Where to go"
"Meet Her Majesty the Queen!"
The female general had a stern face as she led them along the bluestone path.
The originally noisy crowd became quiet, as if they were afraid of the majesty of these soldiers.
After walking for a while, we came to a fork in the road.
"Here, men are honored guests and will be received with great ceremony. If women can gain recognition, they can become official residents."
"Now, men, follow me to meet the Queen, women have other plans. Let's go!"
The female general divided the four of them into two groups.
Yu Beiming and Jiang Shu were taken to the palace to meet the queen.
Sang Feiwan and Aunt Cui were taken to another direction by several other soldiers.
If you want to find the missing female student and Jiang Shu's subordinate Zhou Peng, you must first find out the truth about the place.
Sang Feiwan and Yu Beiming exchanged glances and obeyed the arrangement.
After walking for a while, Jiang Shu suddenly remembered something and whispered to Yu Beiming, "Does this place look like the Country of Women in Journey to the West? But the Country of Women is outside the East, in a foreign country. How come it appears here?"
Yu Beiming asked: "How do you know that the stories outside the East are not what happened in the East?"
Jiang Shu nodded: "That makes sense. The queen in the book is the most difficult love test among the 81 trials. I wonder what kind of difficulties we will face?"
While Jiang Shu and Yu Beiming went to meet the queen, Sang Feiwan and Aunt Cui were sent to an ancient house with three entrances.
Sang Feiwan and Aunt Cui were placed in a room in the first courtyard.
There were exactly two beds in the room, as well as common furniture such as tables, chairs, and benches, all of which were ancient styles.
The female soldier who led them here said, "This is the Reincarnation Inn. You should rest here first. Food and drinks will be delivered to you later. When the time is right, you can obtain official status and become our citizens. Only then can you move around freely. Before that, do not leave here and do not snoop into other rooms at will."
After giving the instructions, the female soldier left the room.
Then there was a "click" sound of the door locking.
Aunt Cui walked over and saw that the door was indeed locked.
She was so anxious that she was spinning around: "What the hell are we in?"
Sang Feiwan, however, didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and was looking around the room leisurely.
Not long after, the door opened again, and this time a woman came in.
The woman took the food box, took out the food and drinks inside and placed them on the table, then left without saying a word.
It has been dark here all the time. I can't see the time and I don't know how much time has passed.
Aunt Cui was already rumbling with hunger. She picked up the chopsticks and wanted to eat the food on the table, but she was a little hesitant.
She rolled her eyes and said to Sang Feiwan, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
It was obvious that she wanted Sang Feiwan to try it first to see if it was poisonous.
"I'm not hungry."
Sang Feiwan didn't even look at the food on the table.
Aunt Cui put down her chopsticks and didn't dare to eat casually.
Being hungry is bearable, but being thirsty is not so bearable.
Alcohol - Aunt Cui doesn't dare to drink.
She walked around the room and found a water jar in the corner with a wooden ladle in it.
She scooped up some water with a ladle and smelled it. There was no strange smell, so she tried taking a sip - it was sweet and refreshing, and tasted no different from ordinary well water.
So she felt relieved, held the wooden ladle and drank half of it in one breath before she was satisfied.
She thought for a moment, then filled a bucket with water and handed it to Sang Feiwan: "You must be thirsty after not having water for such a long time, right? Have a drink, this water is quite sweet."
Sang Feiwan didn't answer, and asked inexplicably: "Have you read Journey to the West?"
"Ah?" Aunt Cui was a little confused, but she answered truthfully, "Yes, I have. I watched it 20 or 30 years ago. It's such an old TV series. Why do you think of asking this?"
Sang Feiwan added, "I just watched it last year, so I remember it quite clearly. In Journey to the West, there is a country called Women's Kingdom of Xiliang: 'Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are all women, fishermen, woodcutters, farmers and herders are all in red makeup. Pretty children call for help on the streets, and women and children fill the streets to meet their lovers.'"
Her voice sank. “Does it resemble the scene on the street just now?”
"Bang!" The ladle in Aunt Cui's hand fell, splashing water all over the floor.
