Rice bug

Although Lin Dong is a foodie, he ate too little of spicy food. He dipped in boiled fish for a while, and sure enough... he started to have diarrhea after a while.

Zang Feilong stood on the top of the hill and looked out. After a while, he said to the woods not far behind him: "The medicine has worked."

Lin Dong vaguely agreed, and after a while pushed aside the grass and came out, his forehead was covered with sweat.

Zang Feilong looked back at him clutching his stomach, "I'll tell you not to eat too much."

"..." Lin Dong rolled his eyes at him, then you should not take it back in the first place!

Zang Feilong carried him into the carriage, first performed lightness kung fu and went over the hill to look around, then went down the hill to look at the guards.After confirming that they were all asleep, they went up the mountain to drive the carriage down, crossed the border in a hurry, and ran towards Nanzhao Kingdom.

Naturally, he was in a hurry to hurry that night, and entered a small village during the day the next day. Lin Dong finally recovered from his stomachache for a long time.Zang Feilong went to knock on the door. It was early in the morning and everyone was still asleep. After knocking for a long time, someone slowly came out to check.

The person who opened the door was a man in white cloth with a white handkerchief wrapped around his head. He was yawning, and when he opened the door, he was taken aback when he saw Zang Feilong, and a string of strangely pronounced words came out of his mouth.

Zang Feilong looked at him blankly, and said after a while: "We are passing by... I would like to ask if I can borrow it temporarily..."

As he spoke, he took out the money, "You can give me the money."

The man saw the money, his eyes lit up, he gestured to Zang Feilong, probably asking him to wait, and then ran towards the door.

After a while, the man came out with the help of an old lady. The other woman was also dressed in white with a scarf wrapped around her head. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Zang Feilong, and said in a somewhat jerky Chinese: "Who are you?"

Zang Feilong said: "We are passing by here..."

"Why are you passing by here?" The old lady was obviously a little vigilant, "Nanzhao and Datang have never had any contact... It's rare to see someone passing by in so many years, you..."

He looked at Zang Feilong's appearance, and then at the carriage behind him, "It doesn't look like a business."

Lin Dong lifted the curtain of the car and revealed his head, "Mother-in-law, we are in the business of medicinal materials, so let's step on the ground first."

"Oh?" The old lady saw that Lin Dong was cute, "How old are you? How did you come here to buy medicinal materials?"

"I'm with my elder brother." Lin Dong pointed to Zang Feilong, "My elder brother is good at collecting herbs, and I'm good at knowing them. Nanzhao has a lot of herbs for removing dampness and heat. We want to find a piece of land to buy or mine ourselves..."

What Lin Dong said sounded like that, the old lady eased her expression, turned around and said, "I'm a guest from afar, please come in and talk."

Zang Feilong parked the carriage in the backyard, and first gave some silver taels to the old lady's son.

The man was very happy, and he muttered something, Zang Feilong shook his head, expressing that he didn't quite understand.

The old lady poured tea on one side and said, "Tell him to learn some Chinese instead of learning Chinese, now he's in trouble. I still have to rely on my old woman..."

Lin Dong asked curiously, "Grandma is a white barbarian?"

"Yo, children know a lot." The old lady nodded, "My ancestors came from Shanxi."

"It's really lucky to meet someone who understands Chinese." Lin Dong said: "If you meet Wuman people, it will be troublesome to communicate with."

"Further to the east, there are more Dongcuan people. There are six surnames in the Qiong tribe of Nanzhao, five surnames are from Dongcuan, and only one surname is from Xicuan, which is what you call Baiman."

"Dong Cuan is Wuman?" Zang Feilong nodded, "What is the Qiong tribe?"

"The highest position in Nanzhao..." The old lady found it troublesome to explain, and said, "It's not easy for you to meet."

Zang Feilong nodded, and exchanged glances with Lin Dong. For them, this place was like entering another world, and all common sense of the law was no longer useful.

The old lady said: "There are two guest rooms in the backyard, you can stay here temporarily. If you need anything, let my stupid son do it. Although he can't speak, he can understand."

Zang Feilong nodded and thanked him again. Seeing that Lin Dong looked tired, he temporarily took Lin Dong back to his room to rest.

This day, Lin Dong took a comfortable hot bath and changed into clean clothes. Zang Feilong took out the wet quilt to dry in the yard. Later, Lin Dong was wearing a white cloth shirt with his hood covered. A little mandarin jacket, with a white towel wrapped around his head, looks very cute.

Lin Dong raised his arm, "Does it fit?"

"Come on." Zang Feilong nodded, "The old lady found it for you?"

"Well, yours is on the table in the room." Lin Dong walked over to help him spread the quilt, Zang Feilong patted his head, turned and entered the room.Lin Dong stretched his waist, and when he turned his head, he saw the old lady's son carrying a bamboo basket and was about to go out. He followed and asked, "Where are you going?"

The man pointed outside, then pointed at the bamboo basket on his back, mumbling.

"Pick something?"

"Yeah." The man nodded.

"What? Herbs? I might be able to help."

The man shook his head, thought for a while, and pointed to a bamboo pole under the courtyard wall.

Lin Dong quickly understood, "Picking bamboo shoots?"

The man clapped his hands and gave a thumbs up.

Lin Dong laughed, "Be careful when you go out."

The man patted his head, grinned happily, as if he had a younger brother, and went out with the bamboo basket on his back.

That Zang Feilong came out, tied the cloth bag on his head, and said a little jealously: "Don't smile so happily at this other person."

Lin Dong turned around and saw that he was too clumsy to handle well, so he ran over to make him bow his head, "I'll help you."

The child was skillful, and wrapped Zang Feilong's hair a few times. It looked a little funny, and Lin Dong laughed.

The old lady over there staggered out, "Guests, you can eat now."

Lin Dong's eyes lit up, and he hopped to the dining room, and saw a lot of food on the table.

"It's rare to have a guest, but there is nothing available at home." The old lady sat down, picked up her chopsticks and said, "You can do whatever you want."

Smelling the delicious smell of rice, the child quickly sat down and picked up chopsticks to eat.

The food here is completely different from theirs. Some bamboo is cut and washed, and minced meat is wrapped in it to steam, and there are some weird-looking things.

Zang Feilong poked something that looked like an insect in front of him with his chopsticks, "What is this?"

"Grasshopper." The old lady said, picked one with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

Zang Feilong almost vomited, his throat moved up and down, "The worm...is it edible?"

"Why not?" The old lady seemed to think that he was rare and strange, "There are a lot of edible bugs, and I will make sweet fried chrysalis for you for dinner."

Lin Dong's chopsticks flicked strangely. Although he was curious about getting the grasshopper dish, he still didn't dare to do it.

Zang Feilong gloated, "Is there something you dare not eat?"

Lin Dong pouted, trying to focus on other places.

Except for the insect meal, other foods are still delicious.The rice in Nanzhao is also very fragrant, but it seems that there is not much rice here, and there are no cultivated fields far away.Potatoes, vegetables, and...a lot of insects.

There are also many bamboo forests, a large area, no wonder they like to use bamboo to make things.

Lin Dongquan took a tour of the scenery by the way, strolled around the neighborhood with Zang Feilong in the afternoon, and met a man who came back from picking bamboo shoots.

The man was still carrying a large bunch of things in his hand, tied together with ropes, and there was only a fluttering sound of wings.

Thinking of the insect meal, Lin Dong was not interested in asking him what he caught.

After a day of rest, it's time to do serious things the next day.

They bid farewell to the mother and son and continued to drive forward in the carriage. Before leaving, the old lady told them that after passing this village, there were no other villages and towns ahead. They had to walk for three days before they could see a big town, where Dongcuan people and There are many people in Xicuan, and there are inns, but the money is very expensive. "

The old lady also told them some basic etiquette so that they would not cause trouble.

According to what the old lady said, after walking for three days, I saw a big town, which was very lively, which was completely inversely proportional to the desolation along the way.

The two entered the town, because they didn't look too ostentatious wearing Xicuan people's clothes.Lin Dong noticed that some people were wearing the same clothes as himself, and some were wearing black cloth shirts and black handkerchiefs. The women in black long skirts dragged to the ground, while the women in white skirts , the skirt does not reach the knee.

This seems to be a characteristic difference between the East Cuan people, that is, Wuman, and the West Cuan people, Baiman.

Black and white are easy to distinguish.

Zang Feilong found the only inn with only one yard and few spare rooms.It's also normal to rarely meet outsiders here for many years.

Zang Feilong took out the money and asked for a better room.The boss actually took several treasures at once, he was really black-hearted.

After entering the room, the room is facing the courtyard, but it is quiet.

Lin Dong sat down beside the bed, "Let's think about how to find those three people now."

Zang Feilong sat down at the table and said, "They have been hiding for so many years, so they should have a good relationship with the locals?"

"Maybe there is still contact with someone with power." Lin Dongdao: "The Qiongbu that the old lady mentioned before...you can inquire about it."

"Nanzhao is a slave system, right?" Zang Feilong said: "I saw people with iron chains on their hands and feet outside just now. I'm afraid it's not easy to see people with power here."

"Then inquire secretly." Lin Dong said: "Even if those three people are hiding, they will not forget to inquire about the affairs of the court. To know these things, you must deal with those with authority, and you should not go wrong looking from this direction. "

"After finding it?"

"Let's see what they think of the current imperial court at that time." Lin Dong can't say too much, if these people are still loyal to Haotian's rhetoric, they will fall into a trap when they appear.

But if you are worried that Haotian will deal with them, you may have a chance to attack them.

Just get Haotian's evidence.

Lin Dong propped his jaw, thinking slowly.

Seeing that he was thinking seriously, Zang Feilong didn't bother him, went out and ordered something to eat, and when he came back, he saw the child lying on the bed as if sleepy.

"Go to bed when you're tired, and think of a way tomorrow."

Lin Dong yawned, "I don't know what happened to Ye Batian and the others. Didn't they say they went back to Chang'an to find a way? There was no news after that."

"If the goals are the same, we will meet in Chang'an one day." Zang Feilong said, "I'm worried about whether Chen Nanhai has arrived."
