something wrong

Before leaving the mountain in the morning, a bowl of meat and vegetable porridge, two large steamed buns of white flour, and various pickles.The host has shown the greatest sincerity, and even prepared a bullock cart outside the door.

Yan Qitong circled the bullock cart many times with his eyes, and suddenly realized in his heart.I only thought that there were no trains or cars here, and thought that they would have to walk to Hongjing with their legs for a long journey, but they forgot that there should be ox carts and horse carts.

During the conversation with the old man in the village in Sangzi after dinner, Yan Qitong listened to the general idea.

The Jin family also settled here before going up the mountain, but they don't know why they rushed to that mountain.The poisonous barrier in the mountain is well-known far and wide, and it is also a natural barrier for Taoism, isolating the secular world.People in the village urged them not to go up the mountain, firstly, to save their lives, and secondly, not to offend the gods guarding the mountain.But obviously that group of people didn't listen, and after going down the mountain, there were only two or three people left, they hurried on the road all night, and never entered the village.The old man said with a little panic that after those people left, they really worshiped the mountain god for a few days, and he just hoped not to blame them.So, now the old man is just trying to insinuate, just to ask where the two of them come from.And Sang Zi answered without any omissions, presumably because he is also very familiar with the surrounding terrain.The old man then said that the mountain was indeed protected by the gods, and outsiders could not easily enter it, and even they never set foot on the mountain.Sangzi naturally agreed, saying that this mountain is covered with auspicious clouds, and there is a tendency of tigers dominating the dragon, it is really not appropriate to offend, so as to ensure smooth weather and good harvests every year.When the old man received this auspicious words, he was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and praised Sangzi for his good looks, which is a sign of great wealth and great honor.

Only then did Yan Qitong know what it means to tell nonsense with open eyes, but he couldn't help but sigh at Sangzi's clever mouth.Anyway, there was a simple and honest man driving the car in the end, respectful to them, and sent them directly to the bottom of the city gate, which went smoothly.

The scenery on the mountain is steep, and the road down the mountain is flat.The bullock cart was wiped clean, and thick cotton wool coats were placed in the cart for them to avoid bumps.Naturally, Yan Qitong has never had this kind of experience, and it has a different flavor compared to sitting on a tiger - it's just that it would be better if the cow could walk faster.And just going down the mountain and out of the mountain without any danger, until the city gate stood in front of him, Yan Qitong still couldn't recover.

"Isn't the city here more beautiful than Hongjing?" Sang Zi stroked the wrinkled skirt and said, "If you don't enter the city, the city gate will be closed."

Yan Qitong took a step up and looked at the city wall as he walked.The wall is about two stories high, and it is made of blue bricks and huge stones. There are tenacious weeds growing between the stone cracks. It looks old and quite ancient.She was in a trance, feeling suspicious at her feet.I just feel like I went to a certain ancient city with a certain tour group. The inside and outside of the city are all built in imitation of ancient times-it may even be as small as a person's clothing and hair accessories to behavior.

How wonderful it would be if that was the case, Yan Qitong hurried forward a few steps uncontrollably, but his eyes blurred, and he was suddenly stopped rudely.

"Stop, where are you going?"

The sound of drinking made Yan Qitong wake up suddenly, and the fence of the checkpoint in front of her, the stern faces of the guards and soldiers dragged her back to reality rudely again.If it is really a tourist attraction, it only wants to trick you into spending, so how could it be such a bad attitude.She stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, Sangzi came slowly from behind, took the voucher in the bag, and handed it forward: "Thank you, I'm a doctor practicing medicine, and I'm going back to Hongjing via here, I hope it will be convenient."

The soldier took over the document, which turned out to be a medical certificate issued by the imperial court.Looking up and down at Sangzi, he raised his chin again and let out a cold "hum": "Here, take off the cloth on my face."

Sangzi smiled slightly: "This is my patient. He is suffering from an infectious disease. He can't see the wind. If you are an adult, you are not afraid of infection..."

The soldier quickly avoided and waved his hands: "Forget it, you go in." After they passed by, they chased after them, "After entering the city, heal quickly, and don't infect others."

Sang Zi responded and walked forward, completely ignoring Yan Qitong who was staring like copper bells.

Yan Qitong sighed helplessly.Well, I don't know the place well, and I'm weaker than others, so I can't let her talk nonsense.Besides, she really didn't want to take off the kerchief.Thinking of this, she turned her eyes away and looked at the city.

The appearance of the city is somewhat different from what I imagined.It is cleaner than I imagined. There are many shops on both sides of the main road into the city, and the planning is unified, which looks very comfortable.There are many pedestrians on the street, just like in TV movies, all kinds of people, all kinds of styles, there are also many women walking among them, or children playing on the side of the street.

Sangzi probably tacitly agreed to her curiosity, and just walked slowly, until after half a street, she stopped in front of a shop.

This is a medicine store.

"You wait outside, I'll go and see if there are any medicinal materials that can be used." Sang Zi said and added lightly, "Don't wander around."

Yan Qitong nodded and stood quietly by the door.She hasn't finished reading yet, and she is recognizing the signboards displayed in front of the storefronts.At any rate, she also taught herself some characters for a period of time, and she can roughly recognize some of them.

Being able to talk and read, even if you are here alone, you should be able to get used to it slowly.She was with Sangzi from the very beginning, so she suddenly thought about how she would survive in this different world if she was alone.Thinking about her face sank.

But she has no money.

So far, she has never seen what the currency of this world looks like.I only saw broken silver when I was paying for the village family from my hometown.Even the broken silver the size of a finger made the family feel grateful, presumably the silver is also very useful here.

What should she do if she wants to make money?Yan Qitong was quite tired from standing, so he squatted at the foot of the door and continued to think, even picked up a branch and scratched it on the ground.She is the most common liberal arts student, and her major is also very popular. After entering the society, she only applied for a job as a secretary and dealing with computers. At present, it is just tabulation or something. She doesn't think what she learned is useful here. superior.But science is in a mess. It is absolutely impossible to go upstairs and downstairs with electric lights and telephones. It is not easy to make a toothbrush to make your mouth more comfortable.Fortunately, Sangzi uses herbal medicines and comes with mouthwash, shampoo, etc., and I have never bothered about personal hygiene.

Just as the horse was flying around, someone suddenly lifted her chin with a fan, forcing her to raise her head.

Yan Qitong looked at the man standing in front of him in surprise, not understanding his intention at all.

The man was just wandering in the street with nothing to do, and accidentally saw a girl with torn clothes, squatting on the side of the road, writing something on the ground, probably in need.Thinking about the lack of a maid in my mansion recently, I came forward to inquire.But when she looked up, those bright almond eyes frightened his heart and soul, and he couldn't help but want to lift the silk veil off his face, and said: "This girl is Do you want to sell yourself, don't worry, let me have a look—"

Yan Qitong instinctively turned his head away, pushed aside the folding fan with a branch, and stood up.

Well, although the clothes are shabby, the girl's figure is very slim. Not only does the house lack a maid, but a concubine can also add one.The man couldn't help clapping the folding fan, and looked at Yan Qitong with the eyes of choosing goods: "Tell me, how much money you need urgently, I have promised."

Yan Qitong looked left and right, but couldn't see anything inserted. How could this man conclude that he was squatting in order to sell himself?Based on the principle of not causing trouble, she turned and went into the medicine shop without even looking at him.

Sangzi was talking to the shop owner, when he saw Yan Qitong standing quietly next to her, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Someone wants to buy me." Yan Qitong replied solemnly.

"Ah?" Sang Zi was startled, then turned around to see a man sneaking around outside the door, poking his head, "How did you provoke me?"

"I'm just waiting for you by the side of the road." Yan Qitong said helplessly.

Sang Zi bit her lip and looked at Yan Qitong, and it took her a long time to understand.When they came out of the mountains, they didn't have any good clothes around them, and they were regarded as poor people.And poor girls are naturally easy to attract people's attention.Thinking about it this way, the people in the village are much more honest.

So he didn't look at the medicinal materials, Sang Zi led Yan Qitong out: "Let's go, put some clothes first."

Seeing that Yan Qitong was with someone, the man just wanted to go up and ask, but for some reason, his whole body suddenly felt extremely itchy, and for a while he could only scratch randomly, without caring about anything else.But it was still difficult to relieve, so he leaned against the door frame of the medicine shop and rubbed his back.That posture was extremely ugly, so naturally he was invited out by the shopkeeper.

After walking a long distance, he could still see the man in the street scratching his head and face in distress. Yan Qitong couldn't help laughing, knowing that it must be Sangzi's handwriting.Thinking about it, this woman shouldn't be offended, otherwise I don't know how she has suffered.

Sangzi was not stingy, and went directly to the best tailor shop.

Yan Qitong was impatient with the complicated clothes here, so he single-mindedly chose the ones that looked cool and were easy to wear and untie.Sang Zi originally thought that she would choose some fashionable styles and textures, but unexpectedly, she and herself thought of the same thing, only for convenience.The limited conditions on the mountain did not allow her to pick and choose, but now she can completely dress according to her own preferences, how could it be so simple.

Sang Zi frowned secretly, and couldn't see Yan Qitong clearly for a while.Or, Yan Qitong said that she lost her memory, so there will be such a big change?Maybe there is no medical solution, so let's have a look at it.

Yan Qitong quickly specified some clothes and asked for two pairs of cloth boots, then turned to look at Sangzi.

Sangzi nodded and said, "Good choice."

Yan Qitong frowned, remembering that there were two jade bracelets in the satchel that had been withdrawn from his wrists earlier, he took out one and put it on the counter.

The boss suddenly had a bitter face: "Miss, our shop is small and business is difficult, but we can't afford this. Do you think you should find a pawn shop to pawn the bracelet before you come back?"

Sang Zi hurriedly handed over the silver, took back the bracelet and stuffed it into Yan Qitong's hand, and said through his teeth: "Is it shameful or not?"

Yan Qitong shook his head firmly.

"You are really a young lady." Sang Zi sighed, pulling her away quickly.

Holding the packed clothes in one hand, Yan Qitong smiled under the mask.
