Chapter 1012 The Man from the North (Part [-])
Behind him, Zuo Yingchun's voice came: "Cousin, I can't see the way clearly, you help me!"

Zuo Junmo said: "You have been here five or six times, you have to take us with you. Go, Chun'er, and show us the way."

"Hmph, my cousin is biased." Zuo Yingchun snorted unconvinced, and also went down the corridor.

After walking down a corridor, the sight ahead became brighter.

Why pinch?
For two reasons.

One is in the corridor, every other section of the road, there is a pine oil torch stuck on the stone wall.

Come to think of it, the officers and soldiers did something to collect the ticket money, at least they lit a torch inside.

The second source of light is the top of the head.

As we all know, this is an underground cave.

In other words, Yang Ruoqing and his party are now walking under the mountain like that pangolin.

On the top of the head, there are occasional holes.

Fresh air and light come in through those holes.

The hole can be large or small, and some plants grow around it.

The vines of the plants hang down from the hole, like Chlorophytum, which is also quite interesting.

However, if someone unlucky stepped into that hole, it would be a fart.

The four of them walked and visited all the way, and occasionally met some other tourists on the road.

After passing by the place where the prince made alchemy, Li Daer ran over excitedly and picked up a stone from the ground.

He said he wanted to take it back and hide it for his wife, Xiuzhu.

"The older generation in our village said that if you pick up a stone from the fairy house and let the woman hold it in your bosom, you are pregnant with the golden elixir and can give birth to children!"

Li Daer said excitedly.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded.

Speaking of Li Daer and sister-in-law Xiuzhu, hey, every family has their own hard-to-recite scriptures.

The couple have been married for several years, and sister-in-law Xiuzhu has been unhappy.

I saw a lot of doctors and took a lot of medicine.

Xiuzhu's sister-in-law was in her early twenties, and in order to conceive a child, she took too many medicines, which made her face covered with freckles.

"Then pick up a few more." Yang Ruoqing said.

Li Daer laughed, and put the stone away like a treasure.

"One is enough," he said.

Yang Ruoqing also laughed, and Zuo Junmo watched from the side with a smile.

Zuo Yingchun twitched the corners of her mouth and snorted: "If you are sick, you have to be cured. Picking up a broken stone is useless. You can believe those nonsense, how stupid."

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!"

Yang Ruoqing looked at Zuo Yingchun coldly.

Zuo Yingchun squinted at Yang Ruoqing: "My mouth grows on me, I can say whatever I like, can you control me?"

"Snapped!"

Yang Ruoqing backhanded and slapped Zuo Yingchun's face hard.

Zuo Yingchun was forced to turn her face sideways, and was stunned for three seconds.

Then, she turned her face, and her face was so angry that it was ferocious.

She screamed and was about to come over and grab Yang Ruoqing desperately: "Dare to hit me? Do you dare to hit me?"

That paw frantically scratched Yang Ruoqing's face, new and old hatred, using this as the breaking point.

'Bah...'

With one paw, he scratched Zuo Junmo's face, who came to pull him.

There were five clear red marks on that handsome face.

Because of excessive force, the skin of two of them was torn and oozing blood.

"Huh? Cousin?"

Zuo Yingchun was frightened, curled up her hands, and took two steps back.

Yang Ruoqing came to Zuo Junmo, "Don't move, I'll stop your bleeding first."

She quickly took out the medicine powder she carried with her, and sprinkled a little on Zuo Junmo's face.

Li Daer also looked guilty on the side, not knowing what to say.

All of this, he felt, was caused by himself.

If he had known that this would happen, he shouldn't have picked up the stone, or picked it up secretly, and he wouldn't have made such a fuss.

This trip to the Beidou Cave ended unhappy.

After saying goodbye to Zuo Junmo, Yang Ruoqing and Li Daer set off for Wanghai County early the next morning.

From a distance, we can see the North City Gate of Wanghai County.

The carriage that Li Daer was driving suddenly stopped slowly.

"What's the matter?" Yang Ruoqing's voice came from the carriage.

Li Daer said: "At the front gate of the city, it seems that someone had a dispute with the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and the large group of people blocked them."

"Oh?"

Yang Ruoqing raised the curtain of the car and looked forward.

Sure enough, there was a caravan parked under the gate of the North City.

According to visual inspection, there are a dozen or so vehicles, each of which is full of goods, covered tightly with rainproof felt cloth, and tied with thick ropes outside.

From the outside, it was impossible to tell what kind of goods it was, but the men driving the carts were all sturdy.

The clothes he was wearing, the hat he was wearing, the leather boots he was wearing under his feet...

It looks like it came from the cold north.

The men were arguing with the officers and soldiers defending the city, which attracted many people to watch.

While Yang Ruoqing was sizing up, Li Daer inquired from the city gate, and ran back again.

"What's going on?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Li Daer said: "A group of caravans from the north wanted to enter the city. The city guards probably thought they were foreigners and wanted to collect money. They were afraid that they would not like it, so they started arguing there."

"The two sides are still arguing, and the other people on the side are also so troubled that they can't enter the city." He said.

Is that so?
Yang Ruoqing leaned out of the carriage, and glanced around.

This time around New Year's Eve, there are a lot of people coming in and out of the city gate.

At this moment, several cars were blocked behind the entrance, like a long queue.

This is not a problem!

"I'll go look ahead."

Yang Ruoqing said, then jumped out of the carriage and walked forward.

She went straight to the front gate of the city and squeezed in.

Sure enough, as Li Daer said, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were using public interests for personal gain, and they were not allowed to enter without giving money.

And that group of men from the north were also very hot-tempered, so they refused to give it.

The two sides couldn't stop arguing, and they were about to start fighting.

Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing hurried over and found one of the men who looked like the leader of the guards and went aside.

She took out a token that Zou Lin'er had given her, and showed the officer and soldier a look.

The officers and soldiers immediately showed a respectful look.

"What is Miss's order?" He cupped his fists at Yang Ruoqing and asked respectfully.

Yang Ruoqing took the token, and took out some pieces of silver from her body to give to the leader.

He smiled and said: "It's the emperor of the twelfth lunar month, everyone is rushing to get things done, and it's not a problem that the city gate has been blocked for so long, so give me face and convenience..."

The officers and soldiers took the money, and when Yang Ruoqing showed the token, they immediately burst into smiles and came over to give the order to let them go.

The congested convoy finally moved again like a long queue.

Yang Ruoqing returned to her carriage, and the curtain of a carriage quietly parked at the rear of the convoy opened.

From inside came down an old man who was over seventy years old.

The old man was dressed in the same style as the men in the convoy.

The thick blue and black cotton clothes inside must be covered with rabbit fur, tiger fur, or bear skin clips.

He wore a fur hat on his head, and some of the exposed hair was white, as were his beard and eyebrows.

In addition to being a bit hunched, the body still looks very tough.
