After galloping for dozens of miles again, Jiubaoxuan's team stopped to rest.
Mayberry took off her veil when she got out of the car. Her whole face was stained with gray, which showed how outrageous the speed and bumps of the car were just now.
Mei Bei took the handkerchief to the stream and washed it. When she noticed someone coming around, Mei Bei turned around and saw Mei You.
Like Mei Bei, the gray-headed Mei You also washes her face by the stream.
Mei Bei said as if he was careless: "I just saw Gu Pinglu. His appearance was really surprising. I almost didn't recognize him."
Mei Bei looked at Mei You washing the handkerchief for a moment, and then the other party said as if nothing happened: "Well, his appearance is indeed very different from usual, which is surprising."
When he was in trouble, he behaved like a cynical young man, scolding the emperor and local officials. In the end, he ended up becoming a soldier, but he was at the forefront when things happened.
Thinking about it now, Mei You couldn't help but worry a little about that person.
On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes.
"Oh~~~Really? I just said I didn't admit my mistake."
Seeing Meiyou's little change, Meiberry walked back with satisfaction. If she said more, it would be over.
After discovering that Mei You's attitude toward Gu Pinglu had changed, Mei Bei suddenly stopped being anxious.
After running like crazy for dozens of miles, everyone no longer had to run as fast as they did before with the Lord of Hell.
However, on the way back, a large number of caravans and horses began to gradually disperse.
Meiberry sat on the carriage and looked at the caravan that was gradually "divided", and she became confused again: "When we came here before, weren't we all in the same group? Why does it seem that everyone's team is different after we go back?"
"Hurry up. Many caravans are traveling by land this time to avoid Yunzhou.
Originally, the journey took a long time. In a vast territory like Yanzhou, we could take shortcuts if we could.
Otherwise, the journey will be long and we won’t even know if we will get home during the Chinese New Year. "
The guy who helped Mayberry drive successfully attracted Mayberry's attention.
This man seemed to know everything.
"Yunzhou, are you so shunned now?"
"Isn't that true? Someone in the caravan that came here this time has privately reported that Yunzhou is now a dead land, with dead people everywhere."
Mei Bei's eyelashes couldn't help but tremble as she listened. Her fingers gradually tightened on the corners of her clothes, and something seemed to be blocked in her throat.
"How many people have to die before this can be called a place of death?"
[System, do you know? 】
system:【……】
"Who knows? I heard from some caravans that every ten households there are now empty. Yunzhou was originally the most prosperous of the four northern states, but as a result..."
Jiajiu, who was pretending to be a waiter, sighed.
This is not hearsay, but news from their intelligence system. The situation in Yunzhou is really terrible right now.
The court wanted to deal with it, but it had little effect.
After hearing what the other party said, Mei Bei turned her face away silently. She didn't dare to listen to the news from Yunzhou anymore.
Her eyes wandered, and she remembered their panicked escape all morning, and said, "Why did that Tatar dare to attack directly at the border? They robbed the barbarians before they even got far?"
"The grassland is so big. When the barbarians go far away, no matter how far, the teams of their various tribes will disappear like flowers. Where will the Tatars go to rob them?"
"If this were the case in the past, it would be best to follow the trail and grab the lone tribe, so that they would be there throughout the winter. However, this year's winter seems to have come extra early..."
Following what the guy said, Mayberry looked up at the gray sky thoughtfully.
"Because there's no time, right?"
"Yes, winter came very early this year, and the Tatars don't have the patience, so as soon as they come, our soldiers at Yanping Pass will have to fight with the Tatars and escort the barbarians away. I look forward to this year. The early winter will freeze those Tartars to death!"
I don’t know if it was due to Meiberry’s psychological reasons, but after the guy said this, she felt a little cold inexplicably.
It took them six days to come to Guan City, but only three days when they returned.
Just like the guy said, winter came very early this year.
When Mei Berry and the others returned to Yueliao County with the last light on the horizon on the evening of the third day, the north wind carried the ice and snow and followed them back to Yueliao County.
That night, because the two girls came back, the whole family sat together for dinner warmly again. Mr. Lian Xue and Tian Qi came to Mei Mei's house.
The wind and snow were howling outside, and the doors and windows were rattled by salt particles, but it did not affect the fiery atmosphere inside the house at all.
When Mei Bei talked about what she had experienced in Guan City and mentioned that they had made a lot of money when they came back, everyone was amazed.
When they inquired carefully and learned the cause and effect of everything that happened, several parents had different reactions.
Among them, the most enthusiastic one is Meiberry’s dad, who is the biggest fan of the show. He just doesn’t praise Meiberry to the heavens. That’s really exciting!
The second one was Mei You's father. He imitated his second brother and clapped, praising Mei Mei and Mei You's intelligence, but Mr. Xue was the only one present who could tell something was wrong.
"You little girl! You buy stuff from unknown sources!"
Although Mr. Xue's expression changed when Mei Bei took out the porcelain, and when he heard what Mei Bei said about the quantity, his face became even darker and ugly.
The originally good Mayberry bragging game became Xue's home court in the second half.
He first severely criticized Mayberry's behavior of randomly buying things from unknown sources, and then he caught two adults who were cheering and cheering and beat him up.
"You two! Children are ignorant, can you, as elders, use your brains? Can eight hundred taels buy these?! Wait! When these two girls go out, you let them carry eight hundred taels with them?!"
Seeing that Mr. Xue was scolding him more and more, Mei You, who couldn't bear Mr. Xue's scolding at first, said cautiously: "They are going out, bring some money with them to do things..."
Although it was Mei Liang who brought the eight hundred taels, Mei You vaguely remembered that he and Miao also gave Mei You a lot of money.
Besides, Mei You then asked Mr. Xue, who was blowing his beard and staring, "Can't you buy this porcelain with so much money?"
"Of course, if you go to a store with this kind of quality, each one will cost you dozens or even a hundred taels. What are you kidding me about buying a bunch of eight hundred taels?"
Now Mei Youqian had something to say: "Hey~ Can wholesale and retail be the same? Godfather, please don't confuse the store price with our purchase price. Our daughter buys so much, isn't it normal for it to be cheaper... Ouch! "
"What's going on outside?"
Miao and Wei Meili, who were making mutton dumplings in the kitchen, heard a scream coming from the main room and couldn't help but looked outside out of curiosity.
Looking at it, well, Mei Youqian and Mr. Xue were chasing each other around the table, it was so lively.
Seeing Mr. Xue taking off his slippers to catch her husband and give him a good beating, Wei Meili silently withdrew her gaze and said, "Let's continue making dumplings."
Her husband made Mr. Xue anxious for more than a day or two.
"Mr. Xue won't you be angry like this?"
Mrs. Miao was a little hesitant and took another look. At this moment, the men in her family couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to stop her. So Mr. Xue simply took off his two slippers and did it one by one with his hands.
Fortunately, the second uncle had quick eyesight and quick hands and pulled her man to run with him.
Miao:......
But I still felt like something was wrong.
At this time, Meiberry was holding the bowl and looking at everything in front of her with a confused face, feeling that this scene was a bit magical.
She turned to look at Mei You, who was holding the bowl as confused as herself. The two sisters looked at each other and then moved their eyes to Tian Qi, the youngest person present, in unison.
Tian Qi noticed the sight of the two "eldest nieces", and exhaled like a little old man and said: "It's okay, this situation has not happened in a day or two."
Mayberry: But, they can only leave for more than ten days, right?
How long has this been going on?
Looking at Mei Mei and Mei You's still slightly worried eyes, Tian Qi pretended to be old-fashioned and comforted: "The two brothers are thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and the adoptive father himself is old and strong. It won't be a problem. None of them will do anything." Nothing can be done to anyone."
Meiberry & Meiyou: "..."
Mayberry: It's good to be home.
Meiyou: Well, it’s quite lively.
Sigh~~ Today I was editing last day, and I just, wanted to harass, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha_(：3」∠)_Leave happily
