Chapter 102 North

In a bizarre dream, Qi Ping returned to the palace, and the surrounding scenery kept changing, sometimes turning into the residences where Jiangzhou lived temporarily, the palace with twisted and shaking furnishings, and the endless fork in the dream. The Moon Palace, the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and private houses, the scenes in front of you change or overlap one by one.

In a seemingly familiar yet unfamiliar environment, at the end of the fork in the road, through the mist, Qi Xiao saw a hazy figure standing in the distance with his back to Qi Ping. No matter how much they ran, the distance between the two never decreased. She saw a figure appearing behind Qi Xiao, wearing a hideous copper mask and holding a long sword in her right hand, approaching Qi Xiao step by step, but she didn't notice it.

Eager and fearful, the cry was locked in his throat as if someone was strangling his neck. Just as the bronze-masked man raised his hand and chopped it down, Qi Ping woke up from his dream. His whole body was drenched as if he had been picked up from the water, and his brain went blank for a long time before he escaped from the nightmare. In front of him was a house with a gray roof, and he was lying on a bed that was not too big.

His arms were still a little limp and he couldn't use his strength. He got up from the bed, and the quilt slipped off his body. When he saw the clothes he was wearing, he felt a kind of melancholy as he expected.

This is not the first time he wakes up in an unfamiliar environment, and of course it is not the first time that the clothes he wears after waking up are served by other races.In addition to being grateful for being rescued from the wilderness of corpses, Qi Zhi began to recognize the clothes on his body.

Obviously, it wasn't that Dayu was not a barbarian. The round-necked long gown with red and white intervals and wide cuffs were placed on both sides. It was the same clothes that Wumeng wore when he came to visit in his memory.

Because of the previous experience, Qi Zhe didn't panic this time. He sat on the bed and looked around the room. The room is not big. Apart from a bed, there is an old dressing table and the Eight Immortals table. The layout is extremely simple and appropriate. Everything is complete, it should be a guest room in an inn.The carvings on the Eight Immortals Table are peaches surrounded by five bats. The dressing table is a little far away and it is hard to see clearly. It should be roughly a crane and a peony.

The layout and ornamentation are the same as Dayu's customs, it seems that I have not just slept in Beixun territory.He lowered his head and thought about his previous memories. It seemed that he fainted in the woods. According to the situation at that time, he was cold and hot, and he fainted after working all night.

It seemed that he was rescued by someone, and his head was not as dizzy as before. Although his body was still a little weak, the most urgent thing was to figure out the environment as soon as possible.

Get off the bed and walk to the window, open the window just to see a round of the sun rising from behind the mountains, from this, I figured that I have slept for at least half a day, the yard in front of the inn is under the window, a small yard Several carriages had already stopped, and two or three groups of people were carrying things up. It seemed that they were caravans passing by here.

The inn is not too big. Qi is in the northernmost room on the second floor. After some calculation, the entire inn has no more than twenty guest rooms. Not far from the yard are a few rows of flat tile and brick houses. , leading an old sheep along the street to sell goat milk.

Seeing a peasant woman handing over copper coins and the old man pouring hot freshly squeezed goat milk into her bowl, Qi Zhe seemed to be able to smell the rich and mellow milk fragrance. , it couldn't be better.

His stomach growled in disbelief, and he sniffed and smelled a faint fragrance like steamed stuffed buns. Could it be that he was hungry and dizzy and hallucinated? Qi Zhe shook his head mockingly, and just as he was about to turn around, he heard a woman's voice behind him , "It seems that the girl is in good spirits, so let's eat something, and we are going on the road."

I don't know when the door opened, and a tall woman stood at the door, her hair was braided into several long braids with multicolored ropes, and she was wearing a red and white coat, which was quite similar to what Qi Zhe was wearing. The woman didn't see Qi Zhe's answer. , squinted his eyes and smiled, and waved to the door, and the waiter walked into the room early with a steaming bag.

It seems that I was not hallucinating because I was hungry and dizzy just now, but it was really freshly steamed buns and a bowl of fragrant and clear white porridge.Eyes full of vigilance and subconsciously swallowed, the woman laughed without hesitation, and said to Qi Zhe, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a human trafficker, you passed out in the woods that day, and we just happened to find you I brought you here, if I really have any evil intentions, I don’t have to wait until now, do I?”

Being ridiculed by the other party, Qi Ting blushed suddenly, and thanked him softly.The other party sat at the table, raised his chin to signal Qi Ping to eat quickly, and sent away Xiaoer. Seeing that Qi Ping was still sitting opposite him a little cautiously, he grabbed a bun, bit it down, and stuffed his mouth full. Baozi lisp: "Look, it's not poisoned, eat it."

Carefully picked up a steamed stuffed bun and took a small bite. The stomach that had not dripped water for two days, when I took the first bite of the steamed stuffed bun, the softness and the refreshing vegetable stuffing on the skin whetted my appetite. I ate the whole bun in two bites. , the woman pushed the porridge on the table and reminded: "No one will fight with you, eat slowly."

Blushing with a little embarrassment, she slowed down her chewing speed, and finally ate three steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, feeling warm and comfortable all over her body. Seeing that Qi Zhi's expression softened a lot, the woman began to introduce herself.

"My name is Yan Miao. I'm from Aruks in the northern Xun. I'm in the silk business. I bought a lot of high-quality silk in the southern area of ​​Dayu before March, and I did long-term business with several shops in Wuzhou. I met you on the way, we are serious business people, not some thieves, you can rest assured." The woman said a lot in one breath, raised her eyebrows, looked up and down and asked, "I Having said so much, girl, you should also talk about yourself."

If I had known that the other party would definitely ask me about my background, I sorted out the general explanation in my mind, and said sadly: "The little girl's surname is Wen Dan Ruo, thank you for saving my life, I am from the capital of Dayu, and I am going to Xiping County to join my brother However, halfway through, I encountered bandits and my family scattered, and my bags and luggage were accidentally left behind. If I hadn’t met a girl who came to my rescue, I would have died.”

"So it wasn't forced by her husband's family." Yan Miao frowned as she muttered to herself, the disappointed look made Qi Zhen puzzled, could it be the rhetoric she was thinking about just now that made her catch the flaw.

Realizing that her performance was inappropriate, Yan Miao quickly changed her smile and asked, "Then what is Miss Wen's plan in the future?"

"Continue to Xiping County." Qi Zhi replied: "I can't repay you now. When I settle down with my elder brother, I will definitely come to the door to thank him personally."

Regardless of whether the words were sincere or polite, Yan Miao shyly waved his hands and refused, "Well, it's easy to do, but Miss Wen, you are going to Xiping County alone. The road is far away and the terrain is dangerous. It's not easy, I wonder if you have thought of countermeasures?"

Such a question really made Qi Zhi unable to answer for a while, not to mention that she was penniless, but she didn't have the slightest bit of boxing skills, and if she went alone in the Gobi desert, even if she was lucky enough to not meet any bandits, she might become a jackal and a wild leopard Stomach.

"Why don't Miss Wen come with us and go on the road with us." Seeing Qi Bing's confusion, Aimiao generously invited him, "Our caravan happened to be returning to the north, although we didn't pass through Xiping County, but we can take you nearby. Put it down, when the time comes, you only need to rent a carriage, and you can arrive there in four or five days, which is more convenient than traveling a long distance by yourself."

"How dare you bother Miss Yanmiao again." The other party's proposal is indeed tempting, but his special status is prone to disasters, so how can he spoil the kindness of others, "You have important things to do, so let's say goodbye here."

"What's the trouble? Since meeting is fate, how can I just sit idly by when you are in trouble now." Yan Miao smiled generously, "I'm not afraid of Miss Wen's jokes. I met you on the road a few days ago. A Taoist, God and God said that I will meet a nobleman, let me solve a problem for the nobleman, and I will have great blessings in the future, and now I meet you girl by chance, you say it is a coincidence, whether it is for your own good or for me Well, I must be able to help with this."

Sure enough, he was a businessman, and his eloquence made Qi Ping embarrassed to refuse. The other party saw Qi Ping's hesitation, and hurriedly tried to persuade him: "It will take at least a month to get from here to Xiping County. You are penniless now. I need to raise money before going, I can lend it to Miss Wen, but the journey is dangerous, so it’s better to go together, and then I will borrow your silver taels plus one piece of interest to pay back to me.”

Yan Miao saw that Qi Ping didn't want to be favored too much, so he changed the saying and added the previous one, which made Qi Ping didn't know how to refuse. At this time, the servant outside knocked on the door and reminded: "Sir Head home, the next station is far away, it’s better to hurry up and get on the road.”

"Okay, got it, we'll get down right away."

It's not "I" but "we". It seems that Qi Miao, who is full of confidence, will walk with her, and he is determined to raise his legs and wait for Qi Bing's answer, with an attitude of consuming if you don't agree with me.

The sound of snorting horses and wooden boxes colliding could be heard outside the window. It seemed that everyone was waiting for them to go down. Qi Ping frowned, pursed his lower lips, nodded slightly and said, "That's really going to trouble Miss Yanmiao."

"Just say it's no trouble." Yan Miao stood up from the chair and strode to the door, "Come on, everyone is waiting."

The goods have all been loaded into the carriage, and the bridles have been brought. Shakejiang is looking at the sky while thinking about the situation of the next part of the journey. Today is still dominated by the main road and the terrain is stable. We should speed up the journey a little to reach the place before dark. But why did the always punctual Yan Miao not show up for so long? It stands to reason that she had returned home early and eagerly wished to catch up with the two-day journey in one day.

He was checking whether the knots of the goods were fastened with his hands. When he looked up, he saw two women coming from the front, one walking briskly and the other walking slowly. The two were wearing similar red and white coats. Sha Kejiang blinked hard. Thinking that he was dazzled by the double image, he didn't really understand the situation until the two of them sat in the carriage together.

A few men next to him smiled and whistled lightly, as if they were very excited about the new partner who joined halfway, and they were about to say a few provocative words frivolously, but Shake Jiang's face turned green and held back.

He always felt that this woman who appeared in the middle of the journey was not a simple person, how could she look like a common man just because of her demeanor and steps, she seemed harmless to humans and animals, demure and pleasant, maybe she had some evil deeds.

It seems that it is better to hurry up and send a letter from home by the way.
