Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 122 Sending Letters
Brand new big round table.

The table top has no old glaze.

But it's really made of thick old wood.

The annual rings on the top are densely packed.

It should be two sides of the same tree, forming a large table.

The annual rings are the same on both sides.

The table is one finger thick.

If it is used in ordinary people's homes, this is already an excellent table, which can be passed on to future generations.

But in Chongzhifu's house, it seemed very shabby.

For generations of nobles, the things they use every day will not be so new.

It's all about a legacy.

The meals on the table are also relatively simple.

The orange-yellow millet porridge was given to the patriarch. The old patriarch was very healthy and only had millet porridge for breakfast.

The remaining one bowl of noodle soup.

There are thin slices of meat and green vegetables on the soup surface, which is very beautiful.

But the faces of the people at the table were a little tired.

I miss all kinds of cakes and snacks in the capital, I miss the eight-treasure duck, I miss the palace crispy chicken, I miss the squirrel fish, I miss the honey sauce meat...

But think about it.

The patriarch began to drink porridge, and everyone obediently began to eat noodles.

Just moved to the new government office, so we can't be too particular, and everyone just eats at the same table.

Even though he didn't eat or sleep, under such circumstances, Chongzhi's wife, Qu Shi, couldn't help but say: "I don't know how Ru'er is doing now?"

Chong Zhi's child was not selected into the palace, but he was considered a rare talent in the Chong family, and was admitted to Shen Xue.

Although the whole family moved, Zhongru stayed in Shenxue to go to school.

No matter how reluctant Qu Shi is, she still knows that it is the best choice to keep her child in Shen Xue.

It's just that living such a life at this moment, it is inevitable to think of the child, the life of the whole family is so difficult, and I don't know how Ru'er will live alone.

"Snoring." The old patriarch's millet porridge was stuffy.

He put down the bowl and said, "Zhi'er come with me."

Zhong Zhi frowned when he heard this name.

But he finished his noodles with two huffs, got up, and left with the old man.

Although the old man is sometimes very unreliable, but after all, at that age, he still has some knowledge.

When I arrived in Minghe County, the imagined people were in dire straits, selling their sons and daughters, exchanging sons for food, and bandits rampant...all of them~no~yes~
A thriving, a bustling bustling.

If it weren't for the dead bones piled up at the foot of the city wall, those bones looked quite fresh, and they thought they were joking about the Jing army's invasion.

It's been a while since the prefect Chongzhi didn't make any big moves, and everything is still carried out as usual.

He takes his father to play around every day, and looks like a celebrity who loves mountains and rivers.

In fact, it is secretly inquiring about news.

Although the father and son of the Chong family have never been an official, they are not considered idiots.

After they collected information, they discovered that there was a shadow behind all these changes, Baigu Village.

"This village is unusual. I'm afraid there are people behind me, and I'm afraid there may be ulterior motives. Today, you and my father and son will explore this dragon's pool and tiger's lair." The old patriarch said resolutely.

Chong Zhifu had a toothache on his face.

"Father, you know that something is wrong with the other party, is it appropriate for us to go like this? There is no need to dispatch troops, prepare..."

Before he finished speaking, a shoe was thrown towards his head, he jumped up to catch the shoe, and respectfully returned it to his father.

"Let me tell you, don't call me Dad outside, just call me Brother Hua. And we don't have any generals, all around here are people from Baigu Village, even the pawns, just rely on Our soft-footed shrimp servants, if something happened, we still have to save them, didn’t the surname Chen tell you to send the admission letter, and you just sent it.”

Chongzhifu was helpless when he heard what his father said, but fortunately he had an excuse to send a letter.

He, the Patriarch, did not fall down, but those strong and strong servants fell down one after another. It is said that the terrain here is high, and the healthier people are the less adapted to this place. All the top-heavy, red-faced, and red-faced people seem to be unable to do it. look.

He and his father have always been in the same body, and he didn't expect to be here, but there is no serious problem.

"father……"

"Don't call me daddy, call me Brother Hua, we are visiting in private now." The old patriarch frowned.

"Brother Hua."

"Hey."

"Your shoes are on backwards."

"I'll kill you little bastard, how dare you laugh at your father!!"

Another shoe flew out...

The magistrate was tired, so he took the bustling old father and hitchhiked all the way to Baigu Village.

They still thought they were secretive, because there were many people going to Baigu Village and it was very lively.

They thought that the two of them were caught in the crowd and would not be seen.

In fact, all these people are from Baigu Village, how can they not see the appearance of foreigners.

They passed by the Bone Market first, and their father and son were shocked by the prosperity, although they were shocked once last time.

There was a lot of construction, people came and went, everything was in order, it didn't look like a wild town at all, I thought I had strayed into the big market in the capital.

Aside from other things on the side of the road, it is specially collected, and the excrement of mules, horses, cattle and camels is full of a cart. It is said that several carts of such excrement are loaded every day.

The more I looked, the more shocked.

Zhongzhi and his son suppressed their excitement and reached the top of the mountain.

The first thing that catches the eye is the colorful bone mountain.

Most of the silks and satins on it were piled up, but the piles of dry bones could still be seen in the gaps blown away by the strong wind.

Let Zhongzhi father and son feel a little nervous.

Then suddenly a loud shout was heard.

"Hey... ho... ha..."

It was very neat, as if a thousand troops were shouting.

Startled Zhong Zhi, he almost thought that Jing Jun was coming again, and he was about to run away with his father.

Helplessly, the old father was so heavy that he couldn't pull it at all.

Looking back, my father was chatting with an old man with a gaping mouth.

"Old man, what is that sound?"

"This is a group training in the mountains. Everyone has to participate. Last time when the Jing army came, all men, women and children in Baigu Village participated in the battle. This battle is endless. We have to practice all the time. If the Jing army comes again, we I have to fight back, even the old man, I will also fight."

"Then why don't you practice?" Zhongzhi asked curiously.

"Me, I'm on duty today, and I'm checking the uneasy and well-meaning people who come and go. What are you two doing, sneaking up the mountain, looking around?"

Zhongzhi didn't expect that he would be stopped by the magistrate for questioning like this.

But looking at the mountain of human bones behind him, he still said in a good temper: "We are here to deliver a letter. There is a family with the surname Lu in this mountain. Someone asked me to deliver a letter to them."

The open-mouthed old man asked: "Where is the letter?"

"If you are entrusted by someone, you need to deliver it in person." Zhongzhi said firmly.

"Let me see, otherwise how would I know if you are liars?"

While talking, the open-mouthed old man beckoned a child next to him to come over.

The child had a long nose, and when he came to him, he was about to meet someone, so he quickly shrank back, and the long nose was shrunk back again.

Both the heavy straight and the heavily painted face twitched.

"Ada, what are you calling me for?"

"Do you see what is written on this envelope?"

The child poked his head and looked, "It says Deer God Blessing on it."

After the child finished speaking, he was kicked away by the old man: "Okay, okay."

Zhongzhi and Chonghua were stunned, they didn't expect this little kid with a long nose to read and write.

You know, although Shen Guo puts more emphasis on literature than martial arts, there are not many people who can really read.

Reading has always been a sacred thing.

"Old man, this child can read and write, this is a talent! Why do you treat a literate child like this?" As a parent officer, Zhongzhi cherished his talents. Although the naughty boy was very sloppy, all sloppy children in the country could read and write , what does this mean?
"What kind of talent, all the children on our mountain can read and write. If you can't read, you will be beaten. That's all right, I'll take you to meet people." said the old man with a gaping mouth.

At the same time, he kicked the naughty boy again: "Gouzi, watch out, don't let the bad guys sneak into the mountain."

The magistrate Zhong hesitated to speak, but he was a seedling who studied, so he named him Gouzi, which is too casual! ! !
