"Woo—" The donkey driver pulled the donkey's rope and stopped halfway up the mountain.

Tang Mo bumped into the donkey cart due to inertia. Seeing the driver stop, he immediately shook the young master who was sleeping beside him, "Master, wake up, we're in the place."

"Huh? Huh." Tang Zisheng's mind was still muddled, and it took him a while to fully wake up. He got up from the cart, yawned, and bumped along the way, but he had finally arrived.

But when Tang Zisheng raised his eyes and looked around, it was still barren mountains and mountains, in a ghostly place.

"Young master, the donkey cart cannot get through in front of you, so you have to go by yourself." Tang Mo's ability to observe words and expressions is naturally well practiced. When he saw his young master's eyes roll, he knew what he was thinking, so he quickly explained.

"How long will it take to get to Cang'er County?" Tang Zisheng turned to ask the driver who was driving the donkey.

"You can get there in two hours. There is only one road to Cang'er County. Master, you are not afraid of going wrong." The coachman helped Tang Zisheng unload things, rubbed his hands, "Master, this is the wage."

Tang Zisheng was not a renegades either, he touched the purse on his waist belt and gave two coins to the driver.

Seeing the two pieces of silver, the coachman didn't mind whether they were dirty or not, so he directly took them in his mouth and bit them. Seeing that there were tooth marks on them, he was relieved, "Thank you, master, thank you, master."

Obviously, there are not many people in this age who can get the money at the initial price. After thanking the coachman repeatedly, Tang Zisheng waved him away, and squatted down looking at the things all over the floor.

Although there are two people here, Tang Mo's small body, which is not as tall as him, can't carry many things.

"Master, wait a minute, I'll pull out some weeds and weave a straw rope to string these things together."

"Forget it, it will be dark when you weave the straw rope." Tang Zisheng lifted the two heaviest burdens and left the two smaller ones behind, "If you don't go in two hours, hurry up, and it won't even get dark. No one knows how to feed wolves in the barren mountains.”

Speaking of wolves, Tang Mo shuddered. He was obviously afraid, and regardless of how many things the young master was carrying, he quickly picked up two small bundles and followed the young master's pace, fearing that if he missed the next step, he would feed the wolves in the mountains.

The mountain road is rugged and the road is narrow. Although Tang Zisheng is not a person who can't bear hardships, when he walked through it, his body was like a pair of wine bags and rice bags, and he couldn't turn a weak chicken into a muscular man in a few days.

"Master, let me take these two big burdens." Tang Mo walked behind Tang Zisheng, seeing Tang Zisheng's unsteady walking posture, he was afraid that the young master would fall down the mountain with his burden.

"Shut up and save some energy to walk."

After all, he is a man and an adult, and no matter how much he eats, he is stronger than a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager. If it is really given to Tang Mo, the things that have been transported with so much effort will definitely not be kept.

Tang Mo heard the young master speaking in an orderly tone, so he didn't dare to say any more. Holding the burden in his arms firmly, he walked carefully on the mountain road.

It was the afternoon, when the heat was at its peak, and the mountain was bare, and the few trees that were left had no leaves, and it looked like they were dying.

It was a hot day, and the road was hot on the soles of his feet. Big drops of sweat fell from Tang Zisheng's forehead.

He knew that he was going to take office, but he didn't know that he thought he was fleeing.

When he crossed over, the original body should have died, on the way to be the county magistrate, Tang Zisheng couldn't figure out exactly how he died.But he didn't hear from Tang Mo that Yuan had any serious illness, probably died of overwork.

Anyway, let him pick up a bargain and borrow the corpse to revive his soul. Although it was in ancient times, he not only survived but also became an official directly without studying hard.

There is only one premise, if the official is admitted by Yuan himself.But obviously this pair of bodies hollowed out by wine and meat doesn't look like material for reading.

So this official was bought by the original body at a high price after his parents died.

Buying an official, even if he is a student of science and engineering, he knows that it is definitely illegal, and it’s okay if he doesn’t have a salary. If he gets a job, it will definitely be over. Otherwise, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen will spend money to become officials if they have money. Is it at the end?

And according to Yuan Bo's memory, buying an official is indeed a felony in the current law.It's just that the world is chaotic, the emperor is stupid, and the courtiers don't do anything, let alone these local officials, naturally they get the money as they want.

Sell ​​a more remote official and earn a lot of money. If the higher authorities really pursue it, it will be the year of the monkey.

Since the higher-ups didn't care, Tang Zisheng decided to continue his post after thinking about it.

Now that the world is chaotic, you still need some power to protect yourself, and the original body has used all the money to buy officials, and now there is not much money left in Cang'er County.

A penny is hard for a hero, but he never thought that Tang Zisheng would bow down to five buckets of rice.

No, is the county magistrate's monthly salary five buckets of rice?

"Young master." Tang Mo's voice sounded from behind.

Tang Zisheng turned his head and looked at the child's face flushed. He probably suffered from heat stroke. Fortunately, after walking for more than an hour, the surroundings were better than before.

"Lie down under the tree first." Tang Zisheng put the burden on the ground, helped Tang Mo under the tree, untied Tang Mo's coat, took out the water bottle he carried with him, and fed Tang Mo a few mouthfuls first , and wiped some water on the back of Tang Mo's neck.

"Master, I'm fine, let's go quickly." After drinking water, Tang Mo felt better and didn't want to waste time.

"Rest, if you fall down on the road, I won't be able to move it anymore." Tang Zisheng also sat under the tree to rest.

Tang Mo has been by Yuanshen's side since he was a child. He was originally a bookboy prepared for Yuanshen by his family. Who knows that Yuanshen is not a material for studying. He spends all day drinking flowers and wine with those dudes in the outer mansion, so Tang Mo has changed from a bookboy to a close friend. boy.

Fortunately, there is an insider beside him when he wakes up, otherwise, even if he wants to take office, his eyes will be darkened.

They have already entered the boundary of Cang'er County, and the mountain looks like traces of human activities, but the county is still more than half an hour away from here.

It's still early now, and it's still too late to rest for half an hour before leaving.

I just don't know if there will be bandits in this remote area. Bandits are a profitable business now, and no one in the government cares about them.

Tang Zisheng raised his hand and picked a big leaf to fan the wind. I heard that Cang'er County is the poorest county in Xizhou, and he doesn't know what kind of poverty it is. If he is a county magistrate, will he become a poor commander? Bar.

After resting for half an hour, the sun was still hanging on the mountainside.But at any rate, it is not so dazzling. Seeing that the leaves have grown, I can breathe a sigh of relief while walking on the road.

It's just that Tang Zisheng only felt that the things he was carrying were getting heavier and heavier, "Zuo Zhuan?"It is well said in Zhuanggong Ten Years, one effort, then decline, and three exhaustion.

After resting on the road for half an hour, he has already started to decline, and then he can't stop anymore, otherwise he will be completely gone after three exhaustions.

"Master, I see a village at the foot of the mountain, why don't we go and ask if there is an ox cart?" Tang Mo's eyes were sharp, the trees were covered by layers of trees, and he could actually see the green smoke coming from the small chimney.

Tang Zisheng, who just said he couldn't stop, made an instant decision, "Go down the mountain."

He has already finished the section that the donkey cart can't pass in front of him. He can't go to Cang'er County from the village and can't walk by the cart.

But there is an old saying that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. Tang Zisheng walked along the way down the mountain, but halfway there, the road disappeared.

Now he and Tang Mo were running around like two headless chickens, and they couldn't even find their way back.

When Tang Zisheng looked around and went back to the tree he marked, he simply gave up and continued walking. He had lost his sense of direction, so he might as well stop and rest.

"Young master, let's look for it. The sun is about to set. If there are wolves in the woods, then we..." Apparently this little guy was quite frightened by Tang Zisheng's words about being eaten by wolves.

"I can't walk anymore."

When he said that there were wolves, he was just saying it casually, but when he thought about it carefully, there were no wildlife sanctuaries in ancient times. Maybe there really were wolves here, and not only wolves, but also tigers and blind bears.

Tang Zisheng met Tang Mo's eyes, don't look, he is also afraid, they both gave free information when encountering ferocious beasts, the difference is that one dies faster and the other dies slower.

But don't continue to scare the children, so Tang Zisheng comforted, "If you can't find the way down the mountain, just find a cave on the mountain for one night."

Thinking about it, it can only be like this. There are villages under the mountain and animals on the mountain. There are always one or two hunters who want to go into the mountain to catch their prey.

The mountain is so big, if you don't have time to go back, you will definitely have to rest on the mountain. It is estimated that there are some self-defense guys put by Orion in some caves.

Tang Mo didn't have an idea, so naturally the young master did whatever he said.

It's just that they haven't rested for a long time, when they heard some rustling sounds, as if something was coming.

Tang Zisheng stopped drinking water, his luck is not that bad, so it doesn't matter what he says.

"Young, young master, what, what should I do?" Tang Mo tugged on Tang Zisheng's sleeve, his teeth were chattering as he spoke.

what to do?Tang Zisheng raised his head. There are so many trees in this woods. When encountering a beast that cannot run away, he can only pick a thicker one to climb up and wait to die.

However, as Xisuo's voice got closer, Tang Zisheng felt relieved. The voice didn't sound like a ferocious beast looking for food, but more like a human being.

Tang Mo watched his young master get up and walk towards the place where the beast made its sound. He wanted to shout but was afraid of disturbing the beast, so he turned around twice in a hurry, but still followed.

Xu Qingcheng was chopping firewood with a machete. In fact, there was enough firewood at home. It was just that in the afternoon, his father kept talking about seeing each other in his ear, and when he got tired of hearing it, he simply went up the mountain.

Originally, he planned not to go back tonight, but his father was alone at home, and he was worried. Now that he could delay going back later, he would go back later.Otherwise, my ears would definitely be calloused by my father nagging.

When he was tying up the chopped firewood, he heard the sound of someone walking in the woods. Xu Qingcheng was a little puzzled. It was almost night and he went up the mountain without fear of being eaten by the blind bears on the mountain.

Tang Zisheng pushed aside the branches in front of him, and finally got a clear view of the person, but with just one glance, he was stunned.

This was the first time I saw such a good-looking man born.Although he was dressed in coarse linen and was holding a hatchet in his hand, but with this flawless face, he didn't look like a person from the mountains at all, but more like a pampered son of a wealthy family.

"Master." Tang Mo saw that the young master was staring at a brother so straightly, and hurriedly reminded him that this young master has committed an old problem again. He can't walk when he sees good-looking people.

Tang Zisheng came back to his senses after being called out by Tang Mo. Only then did he notice the man's attire. This is a brother.

In addition to men and women, there is another gender in the era he traveled through. He looks like a man, but he can bear children for men just like a woman. He is called brother.

So in this era of male and female defense, it is obviously rude for him to look at a brother like this, and he wonders if he will be regarded as a hooligan.

At this moment, Xu Qingcheng stood motionless, looking as if he was petrified.

But if Tang Zisheng had the ability to read minds, he would definitely be able to hear what Xu Qingcheng was thinking at this moment - such a good-looking son, can he snatch it back and become a husband?
