Dawn breaks, dawn shimmers.

I woke up a bit late today, it is now six o'clock, and it will be seven o'clock soon.

She opened the window a small slit, and the cold air rushed into her face, Wen Yu was trembling all over, she tucked up her skirt and looked out of the window.

Although the snow layer on the road is still very thick, the sky has cleared a lot, maybe today will be smooth, Wen Yu subconsciously crossed this idea in his mind.

Yesterday, she used the pretext of visiting Yixin County to ask Granny Cao the approximate location of several places. After returning to the house, she made a rough map based on her memory.Wen Yu marked the general directions for the southeast, northwest, and there were only a few important landmarks on this sketch.Coupled with the fact that she is a half-baked painter, this map looks really crude.

But, as long as you can see it, she doesn't ask too much.

"Xiao Langjun, come down to eat." Cao Juanhe's voice came through the crack of the door and was heard clearly in Wen Yu's ears.

Wen Yu walked along the stairs while thinking. Although Grandma Cao told her a lot, she never explained or talked about the reasons why all the shops on the street were closed.

She discovered yesterday that Granny Cao seemed to be deliberately concealing this, and Wen Yu felt that this blind old woman must have something to hide.

However, after all, she has experienced more things than before. When Wen Yu talked with this Granny Cao, she did not relax her carelessness. She used her name to blur her origin and purpose.

Grandma Cao put a bowl of porridge and a few dishes of side dishes on the wooden table of the inn, "You will be leaving in a few days, eat more now so that you will have the strength to go on your way."

The silver-haired woman's face was full of emotions, and she put the bowls and chopsticks in front of Wen Yu's table: "Oh, when my old woman saw you yesterday, your face was so bloodless, it was very scary."

"I searched on the road for a long time, and finally found your inn, mother-in-law, otherwise I would be living on the street."

Wen Yu smiled, as if she didn't mean to mention it, she looked as innocent as possible, and said casually to Cao Juanhe: "It's strange to say that there are not many shops open on our street. I was a little surprised yesterday, butI was too tired and forgot to ask."

Cao Juanhe lifted up the apron in front of her clothes, twisted her hands on it, wiped her hands carelessly, and sighed.

"Now it's almost New Year's Eve, and most of the merchants on the street have closed their doors and returned to their hometowns. They will come back one after another on the third day of next year. If my old lady's family is not here, this shop will not be open by this time.open."

Wen Yu apologized and said sincerely, "Mother-in-law, I was the one who was abrupt and mentioned your sadness."

She said so on the surface, then lowered her head in silence and continued to eat.

Wen Yu lowered her eyes and thought, she didn't speak loudly just now, and Grandma Cao didn't look at her, but she responded immediately and replied, indicating that she was not as deaf as she guessed.

After breakfast, Wen Yu took important items with her and was about to leave when she suddenly asked, "Mother-in-law, didn't you say there were other guests yesterday? Why haven't you seen them yet?"

"That young man came back late yesterday, and went out again early this morning. My old lady doesn't know what he's been doing all day. You young people are always in a hurry."

Wen Yu's peach blossom eyes stared out of the window, thoughtful.

The water conservancy project implemented by the previous county magistrate was to dig ditches for canals and cut mountains and springs.

There is a big mountain in Yixin County, and Wen Yu can see it standing on the county street.

The name of the mountain is Changfeng.

The person who named it was a tourist from the previous dynasty, and it is impossible to know who was the last name.He traveled so far, and when he saw the mountains still full of green in winter, his poetry flourished, and he wrote a poem called "Long Peak":

"There is a green mountain at the top of the thousand-foot peak, and the clouds are steaming and the clouds are shining on the green peak. The fairy cave is hidden deep in the white clouds, and the jade spring is under the roots of the pine."

This poem was handed down, and later people in Qingchifu gradually called this unnamed mountain Changfeng Mountain.

It turned out that the county magistrate of Yixin County originally planned to cut down the mountain in the upper half of the mountain near the water source, dig long and short ditches, intercept the water from the mountain into the ditch, and then build terraced fields under the ditch.

But the terraced fields were not dug halfway, and the work stopped. Anyway, the official reason announced to the outside world was that it was impossible to continue digging due to too much gravel and sand, and no work was started here after that.

Wen Yu's hair and face were deliberately messed up by her, and with a brown cotton coat, Wen Yu's appearance was almost the same as that of other people in Yixin County.

The mountain looked very close, but after walking for more than two hours, she finally reached the foot of the mountain.

During the period, passed a village, near noon, there was smoke everywhere.Chickens crowed and dogs barked, and noisy laughter could be heard, which was completely different from the solemn atmosphere in the county town.

Wen Yu stared at the village inquisitively, stopped for a moment, and continued on her way.

After walking to the foot of the mountain, Wen Yu realized that this place is not as desolate and uninhabited as he imagined.

There are two watchtowers at the foot of the mountain, nearly three or four storeys high.

Wen Yu looked up, and there was a door halfway up the mountain, covered with white snow, sneaking into the dark green mountains.The whole mountain is indeed as the poem said, even though everything has entered a dormant state, most of the trees on the mountain are still green.

The watchtower looks very new, it seems that it has not been long since it was built.There were no soldiers on the two high pavilions, and they were a little lonely.

Before Wen Yu could take a closer look, there were shouts and shouts from the wooden house under the watchtower, it was very lively.

Wen Yu leaned against the tree and approached slowly with a hidden figure, leaned over and looked into the house.Quickly scanning the situation inside, there are four people sitting around a square table, and one of them has a scar on his face.There are several cold weapons in the corner of the wall, such as swords, swords and halberds, emitting a cold light.

If you only look at their looks, they are all honest and honest, but their aura around them is like a vicious hooligan, with a look of evil spirits on their faces.Even though they couldn't hear what they were saying, it was clear that these people were gambling.

The four of them were hitting the horse hanger, one of them was clapping on the table, shouting how much money he could win, the other was muttering how much money he had lost in Jinyi Villa with a dark face, and he would have to win it back sooner or later.

Wen Yu squatted sideways under the window, and caught a familiar word, Jinyi Villa.She froze in place, with a look of shock on her face.Jinyi Villa, Ma Diao.

Horse hanging, a gambling activity, was banned more than 50 years ago.According to the law of Daqi, if the folks find out that someone has engaged in such activities, they will be fined ten taels, and the leader of the organization will be sent to prison.

In the early days of the Qi Dynasty, bureaucrats took part in gambling. It was an open secret that bureaucrats at all levels in Capital City gambled together. They were extravagant, and fifty thousand gold a night was just a base.At that time, scandals continued in the political arena, morale was sluggish, and farces abounded.What's more, the casino can influence the officialdom and become corrupt to the extreme.

Since the implementation of the ban on gambling, folk customs and habits have changed drastically. Once a crowd is found to gamble, they will be punished with a cane at a light level, and their heads will be beheaded at a serious rate.Officials who gamble will not be appointed for eternity.

Horse hanging was originally just a simple entertainment activity, but after the excess of gambling, people became more and more unscrupulous, gambling is nothing more than a trivial matter.

The underground casino that has not been eradicated in Daqi is not only the circulation of money, but also the secret transmission of information.The importance of information is self-evident.

Wen Yuweng leaned back and moved back, fearing to disturb the people here.

The snow on the tree behind him suddenly fell to the ground with a bang, which was extremely ear-piercing at the empty foot of the mountain.Wen Yu suppressed her breathing, not daring to pant, squatted down without any hesitation, and slowly moved her body along the base of the wall.

Nerves tensed up subconsciously, Wen Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, her pupils constricted, and once again she held her breath and concentrated.The room was quiet for a moment, and the voices of commenting, mocking and sarcasm sounded again.

Wen Yu suppressed the astonishment in her eyes, returned to the original road, and quickened her pace.After half a quarter of an hour, it was not until one mile away from the watchtower that he stopped to lean against a big tree and panted heavily.

If she guessed correctly, Wen Yu licked her lips, gave a wry smile, slid down the tree trunk and sat on the ground.

Watchtowers, iron gates on the mountainside, big men with scars on their faces, and weapons with cold lights on their horns.On this Changfeng mountain, could it be that there is a group of bandits and bandits, green forest heroes.

Wen Yu raised his eyelids, and a complex expression appeared in his eyes.

Before leaving Beijing, she thought she could be a leisurely official; after arriving in Yixin County yesterday, she thought it was just a little more difficult, and this decayed county needs to be reborn from the ashes;, this is the fucking beginning of hell.

Wen Yu was still panting, but was suddenly pulled up by the back of the collar by someone who came behind him at an unknown time, and staggered and bumped into a strong shoulder, and the man pressed her against the tree without hesitation.

Wen Yu raised her heart to her throat, her fingertips trembling.Before she could make a sound, the man spoke.

"You are so courageous, even here you dare to run around alone here, don't die!" The speaker's voice was low and heavy, and he spoke very fast but spoke extremely clearly.

The voice seemed to come from between the teeth, the voice was cold, full of irrepressible anger, pouring into her ears.

But she didn't hear any malice from it, Wen Yu frowned slightly, maybe this person knew her, but she didn't have the slightest impression of this voice.

Wen Yu's hands were held together and pinned to her back at the moment, and her strong wrists felt a little uncomfortable, "Your Excellency, why don't you let go first, how about we talk about it in detail?"

As soon as he finished speaking, with a cold snort, the strength behind him dissipated.

Wen Yu rubbed her red wrist, raised her eyes, and bumped into those emerald eyes.

She was a little surprised, and her voice rose: "Yin Junfu, why are you here!"

The author has something to say:

Yin Junfu snorted coldly: Tsk, why, once my voice change period is over, I can no longer hear my voice.

I shouldn't have added that poem, I've been making it up for a long time and it still doesn't go well ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah I tried my best.(cry)
