Reborn Daughter of the Clan

Chapter 163 Became a soldier (2)
"Daughter Town? Why did it change to Daughter Town?" Nangong Linglong looked up at the three changed words at the entrance, puzzled.

When she followed Shui Yingyue to Mobei, she passed through these places. Although she never stayed in Pingchang Town, she knew the existence of this town. She clearly remembered that this was Pingchang Town.

Because Pingchang Town is very special, the geographical appearance of this town is not as peaceful as the name of the town, but surrounded by mountains. Those mountains are high, steep and rolling, surrounding Pingchang Town in the middle. In addition, there is also a lot of water. It is said that every summer, as long as there is heavy rain, Pingchang Town will be flooded. Therefore, the lives of the people here are very poor, and it is the poorest town under the jurisdiction of Pingcheng.

Now the name of the town has suddenly been changed to Daughter Town, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, just like Daughter Country.But Daughter Country has never had a man, so what happened to Pingchang Town, which was changed to Daughter Town?Where are all the boys here?

Looking at the town street leading directly from the entrance, you can occasionally see a few women walking in a hurry, as if they just came home from something busy.

Nangong Linglong slowed down the speed of the horse and slowly entered the town. Wherever she went, she saw only women, even if she saw men, they were old people and children.

It's getting late, and thousands of lights are on.

Kerosene lamps were lit in the homes of all the residents in the town, and the pedestrians on the street had all gone home. When Nangong Linglong and his party appeared here, those people just glanced at them, and no one came forward to ask questions.

Sensing the strange aura of the people, Nangong Linglong's meddling heart itch again.

She took her cronies to the only inn in the town. The inn was also very simple, only two floors high, and there were zero guests.Only one of the lanterns used for the lighting of the two stacks in front of the door was lit, and the other had a light but no fire. It is estimated that the owner of the inn only lit one lantern in order to save fuel.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, the door of the inn opened, and a middle-aged woman came out holding a little girl about three or four years old. Her smiling eyes quickly looked at Nangong Linglong and the others, and asked with a smile. He said: "Girl, are you going to stay in the hotel?"

"Mother, there are a lot of people." The little girl said childishly.Probably because the inn has never welcomed so many guests.

"Sister-in-law, are you the owner of the inn? We passed by your place, it was getting late, and we want to stay in your place for one night, do you know if the boss has any vacancy here?" Nangong Linglong said gently and modestly, then turned her head to look Look at the people behind, and continue to say to the middle-aged woman: "If the room is not enough, just give us a few more seats and quilts, and we can share a room with several people. I can also pay more for the rent."

"Yes, yes, all the rooms here are vacant. There is no guarantee that each of you will have a room, but four people will be able to share a room. It's cold outside, so come in quickly." The middle-aged woman laughed even more happily.

The business of their inn is very slow, and sometimes there is no guest for a day, and their family lives on this inn. Without customers, they have no source of income.Now that there are so many residents here, the rent for one night is enough for them to eat for several months.

"Then excuse me." Nangong Linglong led Xiangyu and Xiangfeng into the inn first.

"Girl, you're welcome. We open an inn for the convenience of our guests." The middle-aged woman walked in with the little girl in her arms, calling loudly as she walked, "Xiao Er, Xiao Er, there are guests who want to stay in the inn." , hurry up and help out."

"coming."

A clear and childish female voice came.

Then I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl coming out of it.

Nangong Linglong was dumbfounded, is the waiter a woman?
"Girl, you can just sit around and rest after we clean up the room for you. By the way, my name is Fengniang, and this little girl is actually my eldest daughter, named Chunhua. Girl, do you want to eat?" Something, we can also provide food here, but only light tea and light meals, if the girl doesn't mind, I can get someone to cook for you."

"Do you still have people who can cook for us?" Nangong Linglong asked with a smile. Her daughter, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, was going to be a waiter in the shop. How could she come to work as a cook? Could it be that the little girl who was only three or four years old do it?

Feng Niang said embarrassingly: "There are a few old people who can help a little. They are my parents-in-law and parents."

Nangong Linglong stopped laughing, walked to a table and sat down, and motioned for Feng Niang to sit down, she asked curiously: "Sister-in-law Feng Niang, I have staff, if you don't mind, we can cook by ourselves." Okay, just buy some rice and vegetables from you. By the way, isn’t this Pingchang Town originally? Why did it change to Daughter Town? When I entered the town just now, almost all I saw were women. Now that the men are old and children, where are the young men?"

"They all went to the top of the Tianshan Mountain in Xili." Fengniang explained: "A year ago, a cold-faced man came to the top of the Tianshan Mountain. The man was not very old, but he was indifferent. All the men are forced to go to the top of Tianshan Mountain."

"why?"

Nangong Linglong raised her eyebrows, could it be that that cold-faced man is a monster?
"Become a soldier."

"General?"

Nangong Linglong became even more curious.

"Yes, that man seems to have a little understanding of the art of war, so he trained all the men here to be his soldiers. He even called himself a general. I don't know where he got the money. He got a lot of armor and weapons for the soldiers. They are all training in Dingtian Mountain. Our husbands and sons can only go down the mountain to visit their families two days a month. Although the cold-faced general has a bit of conscience, he gives the soldiers a little money every month to live, but our life We were already poor, but he took all our men away, leaving us women, children and young children. We couldn’t make money, and we couldn’t do much farm work, so life became even more miserable. In a fit of anger, we changed the name of the town. "

"Cold-faced general? Mount Tianshan?" Nangong Linglong raised her eyebrows. Generals belong to the imperial court. Generally, only those who have military merits can be named generals. They also need to be conferred by the court. How can anyone call themselves a general?And that cold-faced man is obviously recruiting, what is his purpose?Which party are you from?Or is it a thief who occupies the mountain as king?

"Dingtian Mountain is the tallest and steepest in our place. It seems to be reaching the sky from a distance, so we call it Dingtian Mountain. There are many strange caves and strange rocks all over the mountain. The cold-faced general lived in those caves. Troop training is also strange, every day the soldiers are forced to crawl and fight on steep mountains, and if they are not careful, they will roll down to the foot of the mountain, and they will die or be disabled."

"Have you met that cold-faced general?" Nangong Linglong asked thoughtfully. That man's training is a bit weird, but this kind of soldiers will become the most elite in the future. "How many soldiers does he have now?"
