Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 56: Overnight in a remote village

At this moment, Ji Yuan was walking alone on the official road to the north of Ning'an County, running and jumping leisurely from time to time, and he was in a good mood.

The luggage I carry with me is very small. Apart from the clothes on my body, there is only one bag covering an umbrella. There is only a change of inner and outer clothes in the bag. The rest is a lot of coins and sundries, which takes up half of the space. of fresh dates, about four pounds.

Except for a jade pendant given by Wei Wuwei, Ji Yuan's total wealth was more than 140 taels of silver and banknotes, which were exchanged for some broken silver and copper coins, and most of them were exchanged for an ingot of gold ingots.

Except for the gold jewelry of his elders, Ji Yuan had never seen much gold in his life. He thought that this ten-tael gold ingot would be very big, but he didn't expect that it was only a very small one, even looking a little mini.

Ji Yuan walked leisurely and took out the gold ingot from his arms to play with. This didn't mean that he was greedy for money, it just felt like he got a new toy.

"Gold is really heavy!!"

With a sigh, he weighed it and put it back into the inner pocket of his arms.

The reason why I go to such trouble to exchange money is not because I don’t want to travel easily. In fact, after a few months, I have already understood that there is no banking system in the world as developed as in my previous life. Not to mention cross-state, cross-prefecture banks are rare. , the banknotes from the local bank in Ning'an County cannot be withdrawn elsewhere. You can only withdraw all the cash and take it away.

Ji Yuan is extremely envious of Mr. Lu Shan. I don’t know what the structure of that guy’s stomach is. He can spit out such a big piece of white tiger skin. Maybe the stomach bag will still be a treasure after being taken out!

Even if you take the official road, the scenery along the route is still beautiful. There are fields and shady green trees everywhere, and there are also many farmland with farmers passing by. After all, the eve of the field is the busy time for farming.

Although his vision was blurry, the sound of water as rice seedlings were planted, the chatter of farmers and the chirping of birds around him allowed him to naturally complete the picture in his mind.

The clatter of horse hooves sounded from behind, accompanied by the rider's shouts and whiplash.

"Drink~~drive...drive..."

As the sound approached, Ji Yuan hurried to the side to hide. A moment later, three horses ran across the road in a row, and the horses' hooves brought up a puff of smoke.

“It’s amazing to have a horse!”

Ji Yuan murmured in a low voice and continued to drive his No. 11 bus.

Actually, Ji Yuan also wanted to buy a horse, and he had enough money to buy a decent horse.

But the problem is, firstly, Ji Yuan has never ridden a horse in his whole life. Secondly, after buying a horse, you don’t just ride it. You also have to take care of it, including horse washing and other things. It feels super troublesome.

I don’t think it will be difficult to learn how to ride a horse if you don’t know how to ride it, but taking care of a horse can be cumbersome, so I don’t plan to spend this money that is not cheap because of fate. You must know that it is better to buy one here. A horse is the same as buying a car in my previous life, so don’t make the mistake!

Anyway, I guess someone is also good at immortal magic, and his martial arts is not bad. With his body skills that incorporate the meaning of a wandering dragon, how can he be inferior to a horse?

‘Well, it’s convenient! ’

Having said that, when I see other people riding tall horses, I still have a strange mentality of envying other children’s beautiful toys.

He reached into the gap behind his back and took out two dates, holding one in his mouth and chewing on it. Ji Yuan swung his feet, used Qinggong and body skills, and turned into a green shadow and swept forward.

Ji Yuan has no intention of rushing over the mountains. No matter how good his martial arts skills are, he is still half-blind. The rugged road is not impossible to walk, but it is too laborious. Moreover, Lu Shanjun is a fierce tiger. Ji Yuan is still a little scared, so he will not test it. It's your luck.

Having carefully touched the paperweight carvings, there is no need to worry about finding the wrong way along the official road. Once you leave Ning'an County along the north, then head east, find the city and then ask for directions.

By comparing several place names that could be found on the paperweight carvings, and comparing the meaning of the Jianyi post with the lines hidden in the Jianyi, Ji Yuan took a while to figure out that the tomb of Zuo Daxia should be far away. In Wanzhou, the past is not a temporary thing.

So Ji Yuan’s current destination is to go to Chunmu River to see if he can find the old turtle.

Although Ji Yuan only knows the section of the river roughly west of Chunhui City, Wei Wuwei must be astute and will definitely use various means to get some details out of the people in black. May 15th There will be a good show to watch.

. . .

Ning'an County is a remote and small county. The main area is close to Niokui Mountain and the area is relatively narrow. Ji Yuan walked along the way, sometimes walking slowly and sometimes running hastily. By the time it got dark, he had already left the boundary of Ning'an County. .

Normally, we should have arrived at the neighboring Shunbao County, but the population gradually became sparse in the middle section, and you couldn’t even see the fields for a long stretch of the road, let alone find anyone to ask for directions, so Ji Yuan was completely out of luck. I knew when I should turn east, so I finally made up my mind, found a wide road east, turned in, and just kept walking forward.

This walk didn’t feel good. There were no people around for a long time, and the sky turned dark before I finally saw the farmland from a distance. Regardless of the situation, I immediately turned around and walked along the path beside the field. After a long time Only then did a small village appear in sight.

There is a small river on the edge of the village. It is so dark that it is difficult to see anything else, but the reflection of the river water in the night can still be seen.

It seems that Shunbao County is far less developed than Ning'an County.

It is impossible to find an inn in a place like this. The best thing is to find someone to stay overnight. If there is a high probability of getting lost, it is lucky to find a village.

. . .

At this time, most of the villagers busy with farm work in the village have gone home, and few people are outside.

Compared with the smooth official road, the path at the head of the village was much more rugged. Because of his eyesight and he walked very fast, Ji Yuan stumbled from time to time, but he had good balance so he didn't fall. Fortunately, he walked slower. It returned to stability.

Of course, if you really use the body method to move, it is not impossible to be steady and fast, but luck is not here to show off. It may be more like a ghost at night. If it is too exaggerated, the villagers will feel uneasy. It is more convenient to gain sympathy from a vulnerable passerby and stay there for a while.

Some villagers also noticed someone coming at the entrance of the village. They didn't pay attention at first, thinking that it was someone who had returned to the village late. Later, they realized that it was not from their own village.

"Hey~~~that person in front of you, who are you? What are you doing here!!!"

An old man shouted to Ji Yuan, and some young villagers came out from the house carrying lighted paper lanterns.

This era is not like the one in my previous life. This kind of remote village is surrounded by fences at night to prevent wild animals and thieves. Strangers need to be carefully screened whether they are good or bad.

"This old man!!! I'm just a passerby. It's already dark and my steps are slow. It's too scary to go on the road at night, so it's not convenient to stay in the village for one night!!!"

Ji Yuan responded at the top of his lungs, and then slowly approached the village without stopping. From time to time, he would symbolically point the tip of his umbrella on the road, looking for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com See if there are any raised rocks that might trip you up.

As they got closer, several villagers gathered at the entrance of the village also saw Ji Yuan's general appearance. He had a wide-sleeved robe and casual hair on the temples. He wore a long hair with a wooden hairpin inserted into the bun on the top of his head. He looked quite elegant.

Looking at Ji Yuan, although he walked normally most of the time, he walked very slowly. If he stumbled, he would immediately poke the road in front of him with his umbrella. He must have bad eyesight.

"Sir, your eyes?"

"Oh, my eyes are really not very good. It's really inconvenient to walk at night. I hope you can let me stay overnight!"

Behind the wooden fence door, the old man wearing a hood took the lantern from the young man beside him, picked out some and took a closer look at Ji Yuan, staring at the shadow under his feet that tilted with the light of the lantern, and then looked at Look at his face and eyes.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment... Huzi, open the door and let the gentleman in!"

Ji Yuan quickly held up his umbrella and bowed.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you all!!"

Phew... life is like a drama and it all depends on acting. I think someone will have a place to sleep tonight!

"Creak, creak, creak..."

The wooden pivot made a slightly harsh sound, but Ji Yuan keenly noticed that the positions where several young and strong villagers stood seemed to be a bit awkward, and some seemed to be holding things in their hands.

‘Am I too happy too early? ’

"Sir, come in, I'll give you a hand!"

The old man didn't wait for Ji Yuan to speak, but he came over first to support Ji Yuan's hand. He felt Ji Yuan's body temperature with his hand, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

"Don't blame me sir, let's go and have a drink at the old man's house first!!"

"Uh...ok!!"

Ji Yuan let the old man support him. As he walked, he looked at the villagers who were closing the door and other people who had dispersed, thinking about the solution.
