, wonderful and free of pop-ups! From behind, Zuo Yingchun's voice came: "Cousin, I can't see the road clearly, please help me!"
Zuo Junmo said: "You have been here five or six times. You have to lead us. Go Chun'er and lead us the way."
"Hmph, my cousin is partial." Zuo Yingchun snorted unconvinced and walked down the corridor.
After walking down the corridor for a while, the view ahead became a little brighter.
Why pinch?
Two reasons.
One is in the corridor. Every once in a while, there is a pine oil torch stuck on the stone wall.
Come to think of it, the officers and soldiers did something to collect the entrance fee, at least lighting torches inside.
The second source of light is from the top of the head.
As we all know, this is an underground cave.
In other words, Yang Ruoqing and her party are walking under the mountain like the pangolin.
On the top of the head, there are occasionally some holes.
Fresh air and light shine in through those holes.
The holes can be large or small, and there are some plants growing around them.
The vines of the plant hang down from the entrance of the hole, just like spider plants, which is quite interesting.
However, if someone is unlucky enough to step into that hole, it will be a disaster.
The four of them walked and visited, and occasionally met some other tourists on the road.
After passing the place where the prince made alchemy, Li Daer ran over excitedly and picked up a stone from the ground.
He said he wanted to take it back and hide it with his wife Xiuzhu.
"The older generation in our village said that if you pick up the stone from the Immortal Family and let the woman carry it in her arms, you will be pregnant with the golden elixir and you can have a child!"
Li Dayer said excitedly.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded.
Speaking of Li Dayer and Sister-in-law Xiuzhu, well, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.
It has been several years since the couple got married, but Sister-in-law Xiuzhu has never been happy.
I saw a lot of doctors and took a lot of medicine.
Sister-in-law Xiuzhu was in her early twenties. In order to conceive a child, she took too many medicines, which caused a lot of freckles on her face.
"Then pick up a few more." Yang Ruoqing said.
Li Daer chuckled and kept the stone as if it were a treasure.
"One is enough," he said.
Yang Ruoqing also laughed, and Zuo Junmo looked on with a smile.
Zuo Yingchun twitched the corner of his mouth and snorted: "If you are sick, you must treat it. It is useless to pick up broken stones. You believe those lies. How stupid."
"No one will think you are mute if you don't speak!"
Yang Ruoqing looked at Zuo Yingchun coldly.
Zuo Yingchun glanced sideways at Yang Ruoqing: "I have a mouth, so I can say whatever I want. Do you care?"
"Snapped!"
Yang Ruoqing backhanded her and slapped Zuo Yingchun hard on the face.
Zuo Yingchun was forced to turn her face away and was stunned for three seconds.
Then, she turned around, her face turned ferocious with anger.
Screaming, he was about to come over and grab Yang Ruoqing desperately: "Dare you hit me? Do you dare to hit me?"
The claws scratched Yang Ruoqing's face crazily, using this as a flash point for new and old hatreds.
'Bah...'
A claw scratched the face of Zuo Junmo who came over to pull him.
That handsome face suddenly had five clear red marks.
The skin of two of them was broken due to excessive force, and blood oozed out.
"Huh? Cousin?"
Zuo Yingchun was frightened, curled up her hands, and took two steps back.
Yang Ruoqing came to Zuo Junmo and said, "Don't move around. I'll stop your bleeding first."
She quickly took out the medicinal powder she carried with her and sprinkled a little on Zuo Junmo's face.
Li Dayer also looked guilty and didn't know what to say.
He felt that all of this was caused by himself.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have picked up the stone, or picked it up secretly, and he wouldn't have caused such trouble.
This trip to Beidou Cave ended up unhappy.
After bidding farewell to Zuo Junmo, Yang Ruoqing and Li Daer set off back to Wanghai County early the next morning.
The North City Gate of Wanghai County was seen from a distance.
The carriage driven by Li Dayer suddenly stopped slowly.
"What's wrong?" Yang Ruoqing's voice came from the carriage.
Li Dayer said: "It seems that someone had a dispute with the officers and soldiers guarding the city at the city gate in front, and a large group of people blocked them."
"oh?"
Yang Ruoqing opened the curtain of the carriage and looked forward.
Sure enough, a line of motorcade stopped at the North City Gate.
It was estimated that there were about ten vehicles, each of which was piled with goods, covered tightly with rainproof felt cloth, and thick ropes were tied to the outside.
From the outside, you can't tell what kind of goods it is, but the men driving the carts are all very strong.
The clothes he was wearing, the hat he was wearing, the leather boots he was wearing...
At first glance, it seems that he came from the cold land in the north.
The men were arguing with the officers and soldiers guarding the city, attracting many people to watch.
While Yang Ruoqing was looking around, Li Dayer inquired about it from the city gate and ran back.
"What's going on?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Li Dayer said: "A group of caravans from the north are about to enter the city. Perhaps the officers and soldiers guarding the city thought they were outsiders and wanted to collect money. I am afraid they were not happy and started a quarrel there."
"The two parties couldn't stop arguing, and other people nearby were also disturbed and couldn't enter the city." He said.
Is that so?
Yang Ruoqing leaned out of the carriage and glanced around.
At this time of year, there are many people coming in and out of the city gate.
At this moment, several more cars were blocked behind the entrance, like a long queue.
This is not a problem!
"I'll go take a look at the front."
Yang Ruoqing said, then jumped off the carriage and walked forward.
She went straight to the city gate in front and squeezed in.
Sure enough, as Li Dayer said, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were using public affairs for personal gain and would not let them in without giving them money.
And that group of men from the north all had hot tempers and just wouldn't give it.
The two sides couldn't stop arguing, and they were about to start fighting.
Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing hurried over and found one of the men who looked like the leader of the group of city guards to the side.
She took out a token given to her by Zou Lin'er and asked the officer and soldier to take a look.
The officers and soldiers immediately looked respectful.
"What's your mission, Miss?" He asked Yang Ruoqing respectfully, clasping his hands and fists.
Yang Ruoqing accepted the token and took out some broken silver from her body to give to the leader.
He smiled and said: "This is the twelfth lunar month. Everyone is rushing to do things. It's not a problem that the city gate has been blocked for so long. Give me some face and make it convenient..."
The leader of the officers and soldiers collected the money and saw Yang Ruoqing showing the token. He immediately smiled and came over to give the order to let him go.
The congested convoy finally started moving again like a long queue.
Yang Ruoqing returned to her carriage, and the curtain of a carriage parked quietly at the end of the convoy next to her opened.
An old man who was over seventy years old came down from it.
The old man was dressed in the same style as the men in the motorcade.
On the outside of the thick blue-black cotton-padded jacket, there is a rabbit, tiger, or bearskin clip.
Wearing a fur hat on his head, some of the hair exposed was white, as were his beard and eyebrows.
Except for his back being a little hunched, his body still looks very strong.
