It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 486 Depression
I rested at the post station for a night, and it rained all night outside. Early the next morning, when the group of Ti Xing Si was about to continue their journey, the rain was still falling, and the road outside became more and more muddy.

Although the continuous rain makes people feel wet and uncomfortable, but after all, the lives of all the children and women are related, and there is no delay. They still have to set off on their way. Yuan Mu ordered everyone to put on oil coats and hats, mount their horses and continue. Forward.

The old Yicheng also sent them outside the gate all the time. The day before, I heard that they came to ask about the strange diseases and strange things in Shezhou. The old Yicheng was also very grateful. He thought that no one in the state would pay attention to them. There was nothing left to hope for.

Even if there is no concern for relatives, but as a normal person, who can watch other people sacrifice their living people to heaven, or some innocent children, and be indifferent!

In this way, they walked for another half a day against the heavy rain, and finally arrived at Yiling County, which has been raging recently.

Yuan Mu and the others didn't wear official uniforms when they set off, but they all wore their own casual clothes. As long as they didn't show their waist badges, their identities couldn't be judged, so they didn't attract too much attention when they entered the city.

Since Mu Liuyun arrived near Yiling County, she always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and she couldn't explain how this feeling came from. She didn't realize it until they entered the city and walked on the streets of the county town.

No wonder it feels familiar!How is this depression different from when they went to Yuyong County? !

It is said that they set off from the post station in the morning and walked for half a day to Yiling County. When they arrived here, the rain stopped. They should be able to see the most lively scene in the county, but outside the city they did not find many people entering and leaving the county. When they arrived in the city, they found that few shops on the street were open, let alone a market, and the streets were deserted and desolate.

They found an inn for lodging. The shopkeeper and clerks in the inn were all there, even though they looked frowning. They were quite surprised to see a guest coming to the door. Not only were there people coming to stay, but there were so many people. Surprised.

However, unlike the retreat in Yuyong County before, the manager and staff of this inn are extremely enthusiastic. As soon as they heard that they were going to stay in the inn, they immediately gathered around the front and back, and took them upstairs to see the guest rooms first. He chose whatever he wanted, and ordered the cook to quickly make some ginger tea to keep the guests away from the cold, lest they change their minds and decide not to live here, but to live in another house.

After a lot of fuss, Yuan Mu and the others settled down in this inn. They didn't want to leave and waste time looking for another place. Now that the store is so warm and thoughtful, it's hard to change their minds.

This side just put away their clothes in the room, changed into dry clothes and went downstairs, the boy over there has already brewed ginger tea for them quickly, Yuan Mu and Mu Liuyun sat down to drink tea, Yuan Jia Take a few yamen to the back kitchen to help prepare food together.

I need to be a little more careful about what I eat and drink when I go out than when I am at home. What's more, the border of Shezhou is not peaceful recently, and Yiling County has made it clear that there is a problem. Naturally, they can't completely pretend to be someone else when it comes to eating. hand.

This is also the habit Yuan Mu developed when he was in the army, always keeping a bit of vigilance towards strange places and strangers.

While waiting to eat, Mu Liuyun sat at the table and drank ginger tea. In fact, she didn't like the taste of ginger tea very much. She didn't like the taste of ginger tea that much when she was a child. Wearing a bamboo hat, he didn't get wet, but his whole body was wet, and the oil coat could block the rain, but it couldn't block the coolness brought by the rain.

If it was midsummer, it might be a bit cooler to be drenched like this. It is not so hot at this time, and it is not cool after a long time in the shower. Even the tips of Mu Liuyun's fingers are already cold.

At this time, I drank a few sips of ginger tea that I didn't like at first. The sweet and spicy taste really dissipated most of the chill in my body in an instant, and my stomach was warm and comfortable.

The little guy's age seems to be about the same as Xiao Wu'er, and he is still a half-grown child who has not fully grown up. His eyes are chattering, and there is such a cleverness like a monkey in a monkey.

Different from the cautious and restrained attitude of the older shopkeepers, the young man is young but courageous. He is full of curiosity about Mu Liuyun and the others, and he has no intention of hiding his strong curiosity.

"Where did the guest officials come from and where are they going? How did they come to Yiling County?" he asked.

Mu Liuyun knew that Yuan Mu was not good at talking like this kind of monkey bastard, so he smiled and teased in a brisk tone: "Look at what you said! Your Yiling County is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair. And without adding a cover to buckle it up, why can't we come here?
This brother and I are from the same hometown, from Jiangzhou. This time, we are planning to go to the capital and find an academy to study for a year. It happens to take the examination in the capital next spring.The two of us have a lot of time, people say that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, so we decided not to take shortcuts, and planned to go all the way for fun, and to appreciate the folk customs of various places on the way to Beijing, wouldn't it be wonderful! "

"Wonderful! That's really wonderful!" The little boy burst out laughing, and looked at Mu Liuyun, "I haven't read any books, but you two can see the desire to travel around the mountains and rivers." Otherwise, we wouldn’t even come and pass by the boundary of Shezhou! It’s just...the mind is all on sightseeing, can you still study and pass the exam?

The scholars in our village read books from morning to night and don’t listen to things outside the window. That’s why they finally passed the exam. You still have the mind to play around. "

"You fellow! Don't talk nonsense!" The shopkeeper listened to him, and hurriedly scolded the young man, lest he speak without restraint. The table has already checked out, so his busy work is in vain, "Don't listen to this rambunctious nonsense, he doesn't know a single word, what can he understand!"

As he spoke, he glared at the young man warningly. The young man smiled and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! I just like to talk nonsense, and I can't spit ivory out of my mouth. You guys, don't be as knowledgeable as me! "
