Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 688
The breakfast in the inn is very northern style. It is a kind of small fried noodles, which tastes similar to modern fried dough sticks. It is served with popular tofu flowers, tea eggs and clear porridge. It is also good to eat.

There were also people in the private room next door. It was two men who were talking about the customs and customs of Fengyang. Qingli was biting a small fruit, and focused all her attention on the private room next door, listening to the conversation between the two.

"Hey, let's go to Fengyang, how can we go, why not take the path?"

"No, it's not peaceful now. I heard that there are bandits on the path."

The other man seemed to be hesitant. He paused and said, "Daqin is taking action now, and may attack Pingyang at any time, so the world is in chaos, and bandits come out to rob our people again. We can't live through this day."

"Hey, these bandits are extremely vicious. The government has been dispatched several times but they still haven't found their lair. I heard that the official road is also occupied by them, and ah, if you see anything to rob, if you see the wrench in your hand, quickly take it off! "

"But mine is made of copper, and the outside is gilded, so it's not worth silver!"

"You're stupid, you can't tell just by looking at it, those mountain bandits are vicious, if you see them, cut off your hands!"

The man who spoke seemed to be afraid of those bandits, so he lowered his voice.Qingli listened for a while, and the two people were probably traveling businessmen who wanted to transport goods to Fengyang, but Fengyang was a bit chaotic, there were bandits on the official roads and small roads, this was not good news for her .

After breakfast, the auntie and sister-in-law Fu Caiyun went out to buy some food, and brought a few packs to Qingli's carriage. The sister-in-law pointed to one of the packs of pastries, "Little sister, I heard that you liked it the most when you were young." Eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, no, I bought it for you, but I don’t know if it still tastes like the one you ate when you were a child, this store is also a time-honored brand, and there are people queuing up early.”

Qingli nodded with a smile, opened the oiled paper bag, and took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which was sprinkled with red preserved fruit.

"Little brother, my aunt also bought pine nut candy. The fourth sister remembers that you liked it the most when you were young."

"Well, it's sweet, you can even eat the pine nuts inside after chewing."

The little disciple Xi grabbed a piece of pine nut candy and put it in his mouth. He is reluctant to chew it until now. When he was a child, he thought that after chewing and swallowing it, it would disappear after a while. If he kept it in his mouth, it would be sweet all the time.

"Miss, here are sesame sticks and some snacks."

Mai Ya opened the remaining paper packages one by one, Qing Li looked at it, and felt a sense of sourness in her heart. The snacks bought by the auntie were all her favorites in the past. At that time, the family had no money, so she went to the uncle's natal house Cengfan, the aunt once asked her what kind of snacks she likes the most, and she will buy them for her after the lobby brother Mo Zidong pays her wages. At that time, she said that she wanted to eat sesame sticks and almond sticks, because the pastry shop does not make these two well. There are many, and the price is relatively expensive. The conditions of her family cannot afford it.Later, the hall brother really bought it for her, and spent half of the wages.

"Well, you can eat too, there are still a lot of dried fruits in the drawer."

Qingli nodded and looked out of the window. She has been in Kyoto for more than four years, and every year she thinks about the day when she will go home. She will soon arrive at the territory under the jurisdiction of Fengyang. The patched farmer's family set off from home before dawn, just to occupy a good place, and sell some local products in the seller.

"Miss, it's so hot in the north. I don't think it's any different from Beijing."

Malt is lively and talkative, and the hot sun is outside the window, but on the way from the inn to the carriage, she is sweating on her forehead, and she keeps pulling a manual fan hanging on the carriage with her hands, so that the inside of the carriage There is a slight cool breeze.

"Ah, miss, I don't know what happened outside, it's a mess."

Nanny Yu was about to close the windows of the carriage to prevent the hot sun from shining into the carriage, when she heard crying, she poked her head out, and there were many people gathered in front of her, blocking the way of her carriage.

"Close the car window, if you want to watch the excitement, get out of the car and watch."

Qingli didn't intend to be nosy, she leaned against the wall of the car, closed her eyes and meditated, thinking about what she needed to do after returning home, which aspect to start with was a question, whether to send someone to Pingyang City to deliver a letter to the devil Chunyu, very A few days ago, I received a letter from him, and it was only a few words, "I have arrived in Pingyang, don't read it." All along the way, I heard from traders that Daqin has made big moves, and the war is imminent. Grain, herbs, cloth, etc. Be prepared.

Outside, more and more people gathered around, pointing and not knowing what they were talking about, Qingli glanced helplessly at Yu Nanny, "Yu Nanny, why don't you get out of the car and have a look. If it's nothing serious, clear it up earlier Let’s disperse the crowd, we still have to hurry up.”

After a quarter of an hour, Mammy Yu returned to the car with a sad face, drank two large glasses of water, panted heavily, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, "Miss, it's not good, just now There was a merchant who passed by on the official road, all the fingers on one hand were chopped off. I heard that there are bandits on the official road and the small road recently. Not counting handing in, seeing that he was wearing a jade ring finger, so I chopped off the finger, ten fingers connected to the heart, it hurts so much, it's really frenzied!"

"Hand cutting party?"

Qingli rubbed her forehead, remembering the conversation between the two men in the private room next door during breakfast, no matter what time, there are murderers who want to chop off their hands when they see a finger wrench, Qingli raised her hand and looked at her Silver diamond ring, silent.

"Does the old slave have to take this off too?"

Nanny Yu was crying, thinking of the scene she saw just now, she had no fingers and only one palm, which looked too scary. For safety's sake, she took off the gold ring she was wearing on her hand. The route happens to be the official road, what should I do if I meet those hand-slashing gangs?

"Miss, the front is scattered."

Mai Dong coldly glanced at Nanny Yu, thinking in his heart, how could there be such a timid old lady beside her, who slept in the wild for several days along the way, this old lady didn't even dare to go out to use the toilet, why should she be so timid? To let her accompany him, if it wasn't for the sake of the young lady, I really want to slap him away.

"It's a blessing, not a disaster. It's a disaster that can't be avoided, and it's useless to talk more."

Qingli narrowed her eyes, shook her head, turned to ask her little disciple Xi, "Little brother, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

Zixi blinked her dark eyes, then glanced at Nanny Yu across the way, and replied, "Because the fourth sister is here."

"Good job!"

Qingli patted his younger brother's head, leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to rest his mind. From here to Fengyang, there is only one small road except the official road, and there are bandits and chopping gangs on both sides. Go back, then recharge your batteries and wait for the night battle.
