Chapter 304
It was a nearby landslide, mixed with rainwater, and turned into a muddy mud, tumbling down wildly, engulfing all living things in an instant.
Everyone looked at the scene of the destruction of the sky and the earth, their faces turned pale, and the natural disasters of nature were too terrifying.
Mu Wanqing took a deep breath, picked up her backpack, put on a raincoat, tied a dagger around her waist, tied her sleeve arrows, and said with an extremely calm expression, "Everything is ready. Don't be afraid, I believe that people will conquer the sky. I believe even more that I am full of blessings and will not fold here."
She was too calm and calm, with a firm tone, which greatly comforted the people around her.
She is the backbone of everyone, and her attitude naturally affects them.
The ground under our feet began to shake, and everyone's expressions changed.
Mu Wanqing gritted her teeth, "Let's go."
Ah Da carried her and ran out, followed by the others, walking out of the cave where they had been hiding for three days.
The hail-like raindrops hit him, causing a dull pain. He couldn't care about anything else. He quickly ran to both sides, escaping from the landslide.
Everyone is strong in martial arts, quick in response, and fast in running, which can be called the speed of life and death.
There was only one thought in my head. The farther you run, the better.
I don't know how long ran, and finally escaped the mud and stone that followed.
But she didn't know where she followed, and she also ran away. Mu Wanqing only had Ah Da and Ah Er beside her.
It was still raining, but the rain was much less.
Everyone was covered in mud and their faces were dirty, Ah Er looked around, "Master, what should I do now?"
Mu Wanqing dug out the beef jerky from the bag and distributed it to everyone, "Put your stomach first, and then look for a cave to hide from the rain. The others...let's see luck."
There is no way to find anyone now, and there is no way to contact them.
As soon as the spicy beef jerky enters the belly, people who are spicy are in high spirits.
Mu Wanqing nibbled on the beef jerky, took out the compass to check, and glanced at her watch again, at 4:35 in the morning?
I've been exhausted all night.
She had to go back and find out who did the good thing, and she had to pay a heavy price.
"Master, master." A Da's excited voice came from a distance, "There is a family here."
Mu Wanqing's spirit was shocked, she dragged Ah Er and walked over quickly.
Turning around the col, is a small mountain village, with smoke rising from cooking.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
The three of them supported each other and went down. The mountain road was bumpy and difficult to walk.
The small mountain village looked close, but it took more than two hours to reach the village.
At this moment, the villagers all got up, and when they saw Mu Wanqing's three clay figurines, they were all startled, and they were somewhat defensive. "Who are you?"
Mu Wanqing smeared her face, "We are drug dealers, we wanted to go into the mountains to buy medicinal materials from the mountain people, but who knew we encountered a mudslide..."
She sighed softly, "We broke into your village by mistake, please stay for a few days and leave when the situation stabilizes."
Being chased and killed all the way, she was very defensive, and she deliberately took precautions and made up a decent identity.
She deliberately suppressed her aura and looked very delicate.
The villagers couldn't believe it, "Drug dealer? You are a woman."
Mu Wanqing's voice was soft, "Now women can take imperial examinations to become officials, there are female teachers, female doctors, and female technicians. What is a female drug dealer?"
The villagers suspected that something was wrong with their ears, "What? Women are officials? How is this possible?"
Mu Wanqing was even more shocked than them, "Uh, you don't know about such a big news? It was several years ago. The court stipulated that girls can study for free."
The villagers were stunned. It was not easy for them to go out, so they basically did not leave the village and did not know the outside world. It can be said to be isolated from the world.
The only person who goes out in the village is the village chief, and, moreover, only twice a year.
Hearing the news, the village chief came in a hurry and asked about it. Seeing that none of the three of them were like bad people, he answered them fluently, so he took them to his home for a while.
The village chief's house is also a shabby earth-embryo mud-thatched cottage. There are only three rooms and a hall, and a dozen people are crowded to live in it.
The village head's family watched curiously and talked in a low voice, but did not dare to approach.
Mu Wanqing glanced at Ah Da, who immediately took out a piece of silver, "Village Chief, this is our accommodation fee."
The village head is quite simple and honest, and he waved his hands again and again, saying that he didn't want money.
Ah Da insisted on it for a long time before he accepted it, turned around and asked Jia Xiao to clean up a clean room and come out to boil hot water to kill chickens to entertain the distinguished guests.
Mu Wanqing ate a large bowl of chicken noodle soup, ate a few pieces of chicken, and took a hot bath. She couldn't hold back any longer and fell asleep.
Ah Da and Er took turns guarding, no matter how careful you are in unfamiliar places.
Mu Wanqing slept for two days and two nights before waking up, her head swollen and she looked around blankly.
Mottled earth walls, the room is narrow and dim, and the body is hard.
She sat up slowly, and Ah Er who was standing by the side woke up, "Master, you are awake, you are hungry, I will give you something to eat."
Mu Wanqing rubbed her aching forehead, "Has the rain stopped?"
"Stopped."
The air in the mountains after the rain is fresh, taking a deep breath, feeling relaxed and happy, Mu Wanqing secretly sighed, and finally stopped.
If the situation is unclear, she will not run around, just stay here quietly, waiting for the arrival of the rescuers.
The emperor should have learned the news and will send someone over.
The problem is, here is ten days away from the capital.
What she should think about is how to avoid the killer and get on the line with the rescuers?
Perhaps, these villagers can help.
She pondered for a while, and already had an idea in her mind.
She looked around, and a few little heads hid in the dark to peek at her. She beckoned, "Come here and give you some candy."
A few children were timid at first, but when they heard that there was candy to eat, they ran over immediately.
Mu Wanqing distributed a toffee to each of the children. The children squinted happily while eating the sweet candy. This candy is delicious.
"Do you have a school in your village? Do you go to school? How does your family live?"
After a while, Mu Wanqing got everything she wanted to know from the child's mouth.
The village is a self-sufficient primitive farming method. It grows coarse grains and raises some chickens and ducks.
Children who don't go to school run wild all over the mountains.
"I want to eat some mountain delicacies such as mushrooms, bamboo fungus, oyster mushrooms, mushrooms, pine nuts, chestnuts, etc. If you are willing to help me pick them, how about I exchange toffee with you?"
The children are idle and idle, of course they are happy.
"By the way, if you encounter strangers and ask you, don't mention me."
"Good Le." The kids don't get it, but what does it matter? It doesn't matter, it's the toffee that matters!
After a while, Hu Peng Huoyou ran away.
The village is very small, so the whole village knows when the wind and grass move.
The village chief came with a group of villagers, "Miss Qing, tell the child that you can exchange mountain treasures for toffee?"
Mu Wanqing said generously, "Yes, I also collect medicinal materials. If you have old ginseng, you can sell it to me. The price is easy to negotiate."
The villagers were excited for a while, "Really? How much can 30-year-old ginseng sell for?"
They are really poor, and no matter how hard they work, they can't get enough to eat.
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "One hundred taels, if the old mountain ginseng more than 100 years old can sell for thousands of taels."
Everyone's eyes lit up. They asked the villagers to take them out to exchange for some daily necessities, which were worthless.
Many people have never seen silver.
The village chief was very shocked. He was an honest man, and he was not good at dealing with people. He would exchange as much as others said, and he would suffer without knowing it. "So expensive? Are you right?"
In a few words, Mu Wanqing won the trust of these people.
"That's right, the person who opened the medicine hall in my family knows the price best. Good ginseng is sent to the capital to be used by dignitaries. They have money."
A villager jumped up excitedly, "I have it at home, I'll show it to you."
He came back shortly after, Mu Wanqing glanced at it, and the preservation was quite complete, "This mountain ginseng is good, I can give you thirty taels, do you want a silver note, or do you want to change daily necessities?"
"Do you have it?" The villagers must need daily necessities, and it is not easy to use money in the village.
"Not yet." Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "However, under the mountain, rice, noodles, oil, salt, sugar, cloth, quilt, and everything are available. It's just a matter of words."
"What can I exchange for a tael of silver?" They are used to exchanging things for things.
Mu Wanqing said without hesitation, "It can be exchanged for two pieces of cotton cloth and fifty catties of grain."
All the villagers screamed, and the village chief was suspicious of life. He was slaughtered by people from the bottom of the mountain in the past, treacherous people from the bottom of the mountain.
"What did you say? You're not kidding."
"No, the cotton cloth from Chao Ting is sweat-absorbent and wear-resistant, so it's very comfortable to wear." Mu Wanqing pointed to Ah Er beside her, "Here, it's what she's wearing."
The village woman dressed in burlap dared to touch the fabric, and immediately fell in love with it, "This material is very soft and comfortable. I have never seen it so good, but why is it so cheap?"
Facing the suspicions of the villagers, Ah Er was unhappy, "This is a new fabric developed by the Qingping County Master, to minimize the profit, and strive to make every commoner wear it."
"There are such nice people?"
A'er Stealing Yu glanced at the master with a proud look on his face, "Of course she is, she is amazing, and she has also grown potatoes with a yield of several thousand catties per mu, which can be eaten as both a staple food and a vegetable. Everyone likes it. Now, she makes the poor people have enough to eat, and the people love her very much."
Everyone was stunned, how good is the outside world?
"The grain you just said was potatoes, right?"
Mu Wanqing's tone was kind and natural, which made people involuntarily trust her, "Yes, if you want to change it, I can arrange it."
The village chief has a shadow on the people at the foot of the mountain, "How to change this? Shall we follow you down the mountain?"
Mu Wanqing stroked her forehead and sighed, "The mountain road is rugged, and the three of us, the master and the servant, have been drenched in the rain again, and their heads are dizzy. There is a Mu Song Tang medicine hall in the city that my family opened, you help me. Send a letter and help me get some medicines."
Mu Songtang is a medicine hall that she and Song Taiyi jointly opened, and ordinary people don't know it.
"At the same time, I will have people send the daily necessities you need up the mountain, or you can pick them up by yourself, is it possible?"
Everyone looked at each other and discussed it for a while. Although it was not easy to go out, it was worth it to get good things.
Everyone was very enthusiastic, and the villagers couldn't match everyone's enthusiasm, "I see it."
"That's it, what do you need, I'll make a list for you, and then just take this list and replace it with old ginseng, everyone will save trouble."
The villagers are very positive, "I want a few thick quilts and padded clothes. My mother always says it's cold at night."
"Yes, there is a six-pound thick quilt, which is very warm on the body, and if you get a few thick cotton-padded clothes, you won't be afraid for a winter."
After hearing this, everyone's heart became more eager, and they wanted to go down the mountain immediately.
The corners of Mu Wanqing's mouth twitched slightly, and it was done.
Her goals are too big, but who would pay attention to these humble villagers?
