Leaving Guicheng, Qin Xiao headed west.
He was dressed in ragged clothes and wrapped in linen. He saw a wooden stick in his hand on the way. At first glance, everyone thought he was just a beggar wandering around.
Xiling's barren land, there are not many good farming fields, but they are all occupied by local clan families. Although Xiling's mines are rich, they are all in the hands of clan families. Naturally, ordinary people cannot enjoy the slightest benefit.
If the benefits of rich mines are for the people, it also provides them with the opportunity to eat.
Aristocratic families open mines and naturally recruit a lot of labor. Of course, they will provide food and drink, but the wages are very small and barely make ends meet.
And such opportunities are not available to everyone.
As long as the years are worse, there are not a few people living outside and begging for a living.
So seeing beggars wandering around aimlessly in Xiling Land is not a rare thing, but it is commonplace.
A beggar dressed up like Qin Xiao, most people won't even look at it, and even run away from it.
Walking to the west for two days, the journey went smoothly.
When leaving from Guicheng, Hongye prepared a package specially for Qin Xiao. In addition to the dry food, there was also a porcelain bottle of blood pills. The blood pills given to Qin Xiao almost didn’t move. There is no problem in holding it for half a year.
In addition to blood pills and dry food, there was also flint and steel, which was obviously because Qin Xiao might be sleeping in the wilderness, so he made preparations.
There is also a bottle of golden sore medicine. It seems to be worried that Qin Xiao can’t understand it. Hongye specially wrote the word "jin sore medicine" on the bottle. Qin Xiao naturally knows that golden sore medicine is used to stop bleeding and treat skin injuries. Medicine, but this medicine is also very expensive, unlike ordinary wound medicine, Qin Xiao remembers that the city's traditional Chinese medicine store also sells gold sore medicine, and a small bottle costs a few taels of silver.
However, the medicine that Hongye took out, of course, is not comparable to the drugstore, it must be very pure.
After the old man Zhong, who raised himself in the past, passed away, he walked out of the village and went to the turtle city. It was also a meal and a hard time, and even contracted the plague. So this time he left the city and wandered around. It's not a big deal.
What made him a little uncomfortable was that the wine gourd was gone, and the beggar hung the wine gourd too arrogantly, so Hongye didn't prepare it for him.
In his early years, Qin Xiao drank alcohol and suffered from cold symptoms. Although he was not addicted to alcohol, he always felt that he lacked something and felt uncomfortable if he did not drink two sips a day.
But now I can only endure it.
Leaving from Guicheng, Qin Xiao naturally cannot walk on the official road grandiosely. Although it is difficult for anyone to recognize that he and the wanted little jailer are the same person in his present dress, he is always cautious. , So he first turned to the north, reached the foot of the Changling Mountains, and then went west along the foot of the mountain.
The geography of Xiling belongs to a long and narrow corridor, with the towering Qilian Mountains to the south and the endless Changling Mountains to the north.
Changling Mountain Range starts from Zhen County in the east and extends west to Fan County. The mountains are undulating and majestic.
The people of Xiling have always been in awe of the Changling Mountains. For the people here, Changling is actually a natural barrier across Changling, but Bailidi is the Moxi grassland and the home of the Tusun people. .
Everyone knows that the Tusun people are predatory, but fierce and easy to kill. If it weren't for Changling as a barrier, even if Xiling didn't fall into the hands of the Tusun people, it would be unbearable.
It's already March, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.
After several months of cold weather
The Changling Mountains in the winter have begun to regain their verdant greenery. As you pass by the foot of the mountain, the sounds of song, insects and birds coming from the mountain are endless, full of life.
Qin Xiao knows that it is best to leave Zhen County as soon as possible. Being in this situation is not too safe after all.
Xiling said that it is not big, but it is not too small. The three counties add up to more than 30 counties. It is not too difficult to find a hiding place.
He has silver in his body, so naturally there is no need to worry about it. Although he is alone, he has been lonely too much in these years. Now he is drifting outside alone, and he does not feel uncomfortable.
After leaving Zhen County, I wondered where I could find a job to do at that time, and last for half a year. When the matter subsided, I would find another opportunity to go back to the turtle city to see what happened.
When I think of Guicheng, I think of Mencius.
Meng Zimo was besieged that night, but someone fell from the sky. He rescued Mencius in a critical moment. Qin Xiao was always wondering who helped him. But for the past two days he wanted to understand that he could help Mencius at that time. There is only the captain's mansion, and it is the captain's man who rescued Mencius.
Qin Xiao's first question was of course Han Yunong.
To come forward to rescue Mencius, I am afraid that only Han Yunong has the courage in the captain's mansion.
But that person can use a rope to bring Mencius ink to the wall. That ability is not something ordinary people can do. Even if he breaks into the second grade, it is impossible to do it. In other words, save Mencius. Mo's person is at least Rank 2 or above, even in the middle of the sky.
But he never noticed that Han Yunong had such a skill.
Did the Captain keep hiding?
If it was indeed Han Yunong who rescued Mencius, Qin Xiao would feel more at ease, at least with the protection of Han Yunong, Mencius should be safe.
It was Zhimingyuan that made Qin Xiao think about it the most along the way.
Momiji said those words inexplicably, and when he was desperate, he went to Kyoto to find Chimei-in Temple, but what is that Chimei-in Temple?
What is the relationship between Hongye and Chimeiin?
Since I can remember, I have lived with Mr. Zhong in the remote Xiling village. Although Mr. Zhong has taught him a lot, he hasn't really left the village for more than ten years. How can he be related to the distant Kyoto ?
Qin Xiao was puzzled.
After dark, Qin Xiao found a suitable place at the foot of the mountain and sleeped at the foot of the mountain.
The dry food prepared by Hongye can last for four or five days. It is not a problem. However, sleeping alone in the field, it is really panic in the dark. Fortunately, Qin Xiao has had such an experience and is not afraid.
I used dry food, sat cross-legged, and practiced [Taigu Yiqi Jue] for an hour before wrapping pillows.
Looking at the night sky, the stars are shining, but there is a burst of relief all over.
In the past three years, he had an errand for the Jiazi Supervisor. He left early and returned late. He had a very regular life and a very fulfilling life. Now he suddenly fled outside, but he was quite uncomfortable.
Looking at the stars in the sky, the little sister-in-law's face appeared in my mind. These days, she is by my side, although sometimes it makes people angry, but there is no sense of loneliness, thinking about her willingness Be a bait to distract yourself and go all the way east, but now I don't know what the situation is.
However, with the skill and wisdom of the little sister-in-law, the group of wolves wanted to catch the little sister-in-law, really wishful thinking.
Between half asleep and half awake, weeping sounded, Qin Xiao was startled at first, and wondered whether there were lone ghosts and ghosts in this wilderness? I sat up and heard the crying from the mountain
It came from over there, grabbed the package immediately, took the wooden stick in his hand, and hid behind the thorns and vines beside him, followed the cry of prestige, only saw a group of figures coming down from the mountain.
Seeing that it was a group of people, Qin Xiao was only slightly relieved.
"Quick, quick!" someone said loudly: "Find a place and look at the injury quickly."
Qin Xiao saw that there were about seven or eight people in this group. Some were carrying bows and arrows, some were holding iron forks, and one of them was carrying another person on his back.
Qin Xiao looked at the costumes of these people, but looked like a group of hunters.
The so-called relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.
Xiling has the Changling Mountains. The people nearby are naturally relying on the mountains to eat the mountains. Many people go hunting in the mountains for their livelihoods to support their families.
Although the Xiling Gate Clan controlled most of the mineral resources in Xiling, it was not easy to turn the Changling Mountains into its own property, but it also allowed the people to go hunting in the mountains. However, before hunting, they had to register like a local government, only the government. Only those who have been granted the status of hunters are eligible to go hunting in the mountains, otherwise they belong to poaching. Once caught, they will be imprisoned.
Although the hunters can hunt in the Changling Mountains, they still bear heavy taxes.
"Let it down first." An Orion with a more vicissitudes of voice said solemnly: "Can't go anymore, walking like this, the blood will flow faster, Sheep Baby, put your father down first, and I will look at the wound." /
With the help of others, the baby sheep carefully laid his father on the ground and lay down, crying and said: "Uncle, please help me, a lot of blood, my father shed a lot of blood, help me. "
Qin Xiao was not far away, and he heard it really. He thought that it was a baby sheep who was crying, but he almost mistakenly thought it was a dead ghost wandering in the wilderness.
The uncle looked at the wound in the moonlight, and said: "The wound is too deep, and the blood can't be stopped by such a bandage. Only a little bit of our own wound medicine has been applied, which has no effect." Looked at the others. Human, said: "Unless you can find a doctor now and stop the bleeding quickly, otherwise...!" I didn't go on with the following words, but everyone knows the meaning. The blood flow will not stop and cannot stop the bleeding, and life will be at stake.
"That brute is really ferocious." One person said with a lingering fear: "The **** hero is the one who lied to us. Seeing that brute, the first one with the surname Luo is going to run, he used to brag that he is capable, Tu Xiong Bohu is nothing to say, this is good, the wind flashed his tongue and put his life here."
"He deserved it when he died, and even the six sons were killed by that animal." Another person said bitterly: "The body of the six sons is still there. How do we go back to behave with him?"
The uncle said in a deep voice: "This is not the time to talk about this. You are all looking around to see if you can find the roots of Sanguis elm, agrimony, or ramie roots. His father’s wound is too deep to If you move again, you must stop the blood if you want to survive. Sheep baby, you can hold down your father’s wound first, so that the blood flow can be slowed down... By the way, iron donkey, your legs and feet Hurry, run to the town and see if you can invite the doctor over!"
"At this hour, it's already midnight when I ran past. The doctor can't follow, at most, he will give me some medicine." A young hunter said: "When I come back, it's almost dawn. Can you hold it?"
"It's better than just sitting here." Han Bo said annoyed: "Let you go, don't talk so much nonsense."
The man couldn't help but ran to the south with the iron fork.
Several other people were about to scatter to find hemostatic herbs, and suddenly heard a voice saying: "I have hemostatic medicine here, you can try to stop the bleeding."
