Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 178 Going down the mountain
Deacon Shen came without letting Yue Qing wait for long.
Yue Qing looked at him and asked: "Deacon Shen, how are you doing? Are you ready to eat?"
"Go back to the courtyard master, you are ready."
"Oh, okay, I just thought about that. Can we replenish it easily after the ice melts along the way?"
"Don't worry, the hospital owner. If the hospital owner likes to eat these on the road, the ice cubes can be replenished at any time."
Yue Qing smiled: "Am I a little wasted?"
"The hospital owner should receive the treatment he deserves. I'm just afraid that the hospital owner will not feel comfortable eating on the road."
"Don't worry, if I don't want to eat on the road, I will tell you."
"yes."
"I'm ready, can we leave now?"
"Okay, where does the master want to leave the villa? If you go out through the main gate, it is the road the master took when he came to the villa. There is also a side gate in the villa. The master can choose which way to go. There are two side gates. It leads directly to the villa's city, does the master want to go?"
Yue Qing thought for a while and said to Chang Yuxiao: "Oh, it's the city Chang Rong talked about when I came last time, right?"
Chang Yuxiao nodded.
Yueqing said: "Are there many people living there?"
Deacon Shen: "Yes."
"Are they all from the five tribes in the villa? Which tribe are they mainly from?"
"They are members of the five clans of the mountain villa. They are basically members of the Mo clan, the Chang clan and the Yue clan."
"Oh, okay. Apart from the elders and deacons, I have only seen the masters and guards here. I haven't seen many ordinary residents of the villa. Let's choose the direction of the city I saw last time. It’s time to leave the villa.”
"Yes." Chang Shen walked out.
Yueqing was sitting in the carriage, the same one she had come in. Qiaoer and Qing'er were sitting in the car with her.
Qiaoer said happily: "We are finally leaving the villa."
Yueqing: "Do you like going outside too?"
"I love it. It would be great if I had the chance to visit the place where we lived when we were children."
"Do you still need a chance? If you want to go, we can just go there as soon as we leave the villa."
"No, Master, the direction is wrong. It's too far away from the direction to the palace."
"Oh, okay, let's go see it together later."
Qiaoer was happy, "Okay, thank you, Master."
Yue Qing smiled and looked at the people outside. Everyone was still riding in carriages, and Qi Jiao was still driving. Yue Qing had become a little familiar with him during the past two days. Qi Jiao saw Yue Qing looking at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master, I have very good driving skills."
Yue Qing said: "Well, when there is no particularly interesting place on the road and there are no people around, let's walk faster."
"Okay." Qi Jiao nodded.
In front of Yue Qing's carriage, Chang Rong led the team with six Qingwei. Yue Qing looked at him and said to Qi Jiao, "Chang Rong also drove here last time when he came to pick me up."
Qi Jiao smiled and said: "I heard that the Rong Red Guard was selected to be the Red Guard of Qingyue Yuan because of this."
"Well, hey, I thought at the time that I couldn't be too much weaker than the master of Wutong Courtyard. There must be Red Guards in my own courtyard. I was familiar with them at the time, so I chose them."
"I see."
On the left side of the car are Cai'er and Chang Song. On the right are Deacon Shen and Chang Huai. Mo Xue and several other people arranged by the elders followed the car. Behind them were two carriages carrying supplies and a dozen Qingwei. There were indeed not so many people this time. If Yue Qing said a word, people in front and behind could hear it.
Yue Qing is much more satisfied.
"Deacon Shen, where are the other people arranged by the elders?" Yue Qing raised her head and asked.
"Back to the hospital master, some people have already come out in front. After we set off, others will follow. If we need it, they can come over at any time."
"Oh, you did a good job. We are the only ones on the road. The people in front and behind are not too hard, so we can rest when we need to."
Chang Shen nodded.
Qi Hou saw them off outside the villa: "Master, be careful all the way. Qi Hou is here to wish you a safe return."
"Okay, thank you, Commander Hou. I will take care of you during this period." Then Yue Qing said to Chang Rong, "Then let's go."
Yue Qing and a group of more than 20 people left the annex.
The way down the mountain was much faster than the way up the mountain. Yue Qing looked outside at the dense woods that were gradually getting away. When I think about it, the trees are getting closer and closer and more concentrated.
"Which way did you take when you returned to the palace?" Yue Qing looked at Chang Yuxiao and asked.
"Zhengshanmen. That's the closest."
"Oh, have you been to the Villa City before?"
"Go there once in a while."
"Where are you Qing'er?"
Qing'er said: "I haven't been there. I was at the Villa's guard station, and later I was assigned to the master of the hospital together with Cai'er. I have stayed in the palace ever since."
"Before you take care of me, if you're not at the guard house, why don't you go? For example, to buy something or something."
"Buy something? Don't buy anything."
"Huh? Don't want to buy anything? Don't your guards give out some moon silver or something?"
Qing'er and Qiao'er looked at each other, "It's a haircut, but it's not needed. All our food and clothing expenses are provided by the villa."
"Oh, in case there is anything you want, such as something you want to play."
Qing'er smiled: "Our usual task is to protect the master of the hospital, there is nothing we want to play with."
Yue Qing blinked, okay, these people really don't have anything special to pursue.
"Then what do you do when you need to buy something outside?"
"We don't lack anything. Oh, Master, the treatment provided by the villa is very good. We don't have to worry about food and clothing. It's many times better than the lives of ordinary people in countries outside the villa. "
Yue Qing nodded and thought to herself: I remember they said that people from the Chang family could not leave the villa. I wonder if these guards could not leave too.
After walking for a long time, the scenery on the road finally changed significantly. Some fireworks could be seen in the distance. Yue Qing asked: "Is that direction also the city of the Villa?"
Chang Yuxiao looked there and said: "Yes, it is also one of the subordinate cities. It is not too big, it is a small city, but there are many flowers and plants planted there, and most of the people living there are descendants of the outer sect of the Zhen family."
"Oh, that's right. Which ethnic group has more people living in the city we are passing through?"
"There should be more people from the Yue family, and there are also a lot of people from the Mo family."
"Don't the people of the Chang family live in the city?"
"The people of the Chang family are basically in the main city of the villa, and the main city of the villa is also a place dedicated to the Chang family."
"Why haven't I seen it before?"
"The Qingyue Courtyard where you live is where all the spirit ladies' masters live. It is surrounded by several important entrances to the villa. It is separated from the place where other members of the Chang family live, so naturally you cannot encounter them. No. Except for the red guards and those assigned in each courtyard, only the elders and those who have been summoned can enter there."
"Oh, no wonder, there are so many people where Chang lives?"
"The Chang family has a small population, and most of them are men. The proportion of women in the Chang family is very small."
Yue Qing smiled and said: "This is also a family with a long history. Why are there so few people in the Chang family? Is it because the birth rate is low? Can't the men of the Chang family leave the villa?"
"Well, I don't know why. The birth rate of the Chang family is indeed very low. As for the men of the Chang family you mentioned, they are generally not allowed to leave the villa. However, the area where the villa belongs is very large. As long as you don't You can still go outside the villa’s sphere of influence.”
Yue Qing thought in her heart: The Chang family is indeed protected, but the villa is also very strict about their management. How can I put it this way? For Yue Qing, it may be a little less free. I wonder if the Chang clan in my own world will split from other clans for this reason.
"Do men from the Chang family usually choose people from the other four tribes in the villa to marry?"
"Yes, generally people from the five clans of the Villa will marry women from the Chang family, but those of three generations or above can intermarry."
"Oh, yes, I remember Qing'er seemed to have told me about it before, right?"
Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "It seems so."
At this time, Qiaoer pointed to the front and said, "Master, look at the front. They seem to be some elders."
