Chapter 62

Blackstone town is located in the valley more than 30 miles northwest of Nanzhang county.

The valley is open. A small river ten feet wide flows through the valley. There are large paddy fields on both sides. I'm afraid there must be thousands of mu.

There are more than 20 villages around, with a population of thousands.

On February 58, villagers from shiliba village come to the town to go to the market and sell some things in exchange for money and buy things needed for life.

Because it is located in the mountainous area, there are many hunters. From time to time, it will hunt rare animals, and occasionally bear paws and tiger skins.

Therefore, on the day of going to the market, restaurants and merchants in the city will send people to buy them, and vendors will set up stalls temporarily.

In addition, there is a mountain road leading to Gucheng in the northwest and a small road leading to Baokang in the west, which makes Heishi town market famous and popular.

A patrol inspection department was set up in the town to patrol the mountain roads at ordinary times and maintain law and order during the market day.

Today, on the second day of September, it was the day of the market, and it was close to the Double Ninth Festival. Early in the morning, countless villagers, either pick or carry, hurried along the mountain path in groups.

Want to get to town early and get a good place.

However, in these market teams, several people are obviously different from ordinary people.

I saw two strong men carrying a bamboo soft chair, on which sat a scholar in a long shirt, followed by two schoolboys with a satchel to lead a horse.

The book grew handsome. On a cold day, holding a folding fan in his hand, he looked like the son of a rich family.

The villagers met on the way were all respectful and hurried to give way. They wondered why such a childe came from this remote place?

Near the town, there are more and more mountain people. Before the childe on the soft chair spoke, the big man carrying the sedan chair in front of him shouted.

"Get out of the way, step aside..."

Everyone turned around and let them on both sides for fear that they would be beaten if they collided with the childe.

The two patrolmen at the door also saw this scene. They were all stunned and rubbed their eyes hard.

"Boss, which childe is this? Why are you so handsome? Why haven't you seen it before? "

"How do I know? Maybe it's from the city. Welcome first... "

Two patrolmen ran up and kicked a villager whose leg was slowly blocking the middle of the road.

"Where are you from, young master? What are you doing here? Can I help you?"

"My childe's surname is Xiao. He is the third childe of the Xiao family in Wuchang. He comes here to visit his classmates and friends..."

"Talk a lot!"

Before the fairy tale of the backpack Book was finished, he got a folding fan on his head and immediately retracted his neck.

Handsome childe just got down from the soft chair. As soon as his feet fell to the ground, his thick eyebrows wrinkled. He clearly disliked that this place was too dirty.

After another pat and a full haircut, he turned to the two patrolmen and asked, "this is Blackstone town?" The voice is hoarse with a trace of female.

"Return to childe, this is Blackstone town."

The two patrolmen were not at all unhappy about the childe's contempt, but their tone became more and more respectful.

"Is there a big family with the surname Wu in the town, and there are two CHILDES in the family. The eldest childe is an official in other places, and the second childe was a scholar last year?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao is the classmate of Mr. Wu?" The wretched looking patrol quickly nodded and asked.

"Did the second childe ever be at home?"

A trace of displeasure flashed across the childe's face. It was obvious that he was more talkative and his tone was lighter.

"Oh, childe Xiao came at a bad time. The second childe went out to study half a month ago."

"Oh! What a coincidence? "

"Well, since you have come here, you can also visit the door to avoid losing etiquette."

Handsome childe patted the folding fan with a disappointed look on his face, but he said in his heart that he was there. I didn't come yet. Finally, he looked at them: "can you know the way?"

"Yes, yes."

"Lead the way!"

Handsome childe didn't say much. He left a word and went back to the soft chair. He was really too lazy to take a step.

"Please, childe!"

They hurried to lead the way. They were very happy. A rich childe like this must be rich. He can lead the way for him. Later, there will be a reward. It's much better than standing here to search for the poor.

There is only one dirt road in the town. People come and go, shouting constantly, and the crowd is almost crowded.

Fortunately, there are two patrol inspectors and two big men carrying soft chairs, so they can walk normally.

Xiao Xinru looked at countless pairs of eyes on both sides and stared at herself. She quickly opened the folding fan to cover one or two. However, she was thinking that this place is still too small after all. It should be better to go to the county.

Before dawn today, Xiao Xinru was dressed up by Li Waner and Qin Huan. Compared with Qin Huan that day, Xiao Xinru was many times more handsome.

In particular, Qin Huan could not compare his own scholarly smell with everyone's temperament.

The folding fan in her hand was the one Li Waner secretly brought from Gucheng. Maybe it was Qin LiuXiang's dress last time, which left a deep impression on xiaonizi, so she didn't forget to take it with her when she ran for her life.

Perhaps in the girl's heart, brother Xiaoyu's folding fan is far more important than his treasure knife and fire gun!

Several people stopped at the gate of a big house. Xiao Xinru asked Qin Huan to dress up as a schoolboy and rewarded two patrol inspectors with five Liang silver and one or two big men carrying sedans. Both of them were temporarily hired on the road.

The four people took the silver and thanked them quickly. Then they left happily. The secret way is that they are really lucky today.

"Madam, can you? I have no bottom in my heart! "

Qin Huan looked at the magnificent gate and whispered.

When it comes to killing and setting fire, someone Qin is definitely a good hand, but he can't pretend to be a talent.

"Don't worry, childe. I can handle it!"

Xiao Xinru smiled. Maybe she had killed someone, or Qin Huan was beside her. There was no tension in her heart.

"All right! It depends on your wife's performance. After everything is done, I will give you a big reward! "

Qin Huan thought of her performance at the door just now, nodded and took a step back.

Originally, he didn't want to take risks himself. After all, the wise man didn't do this!

However, Xiao Xinru said that if she wanted to buy more food, she had to go to the Wu family. She might have to rest for a night. She was worried and exchanged with Qin tie.

At this time, a steward in the porter had welcomed him out.

Seeing that Xiao Xinru is well-dressed and has an extraordinary bearing, he hurriedly saluted and asked. He learned that it was the second childe's classmate who came to visit, so he hurried back to the house to report.

Before long, the two gates were opened with a squeak.

A member in his fifties dressed in Chinese clothes came out.

Mrs. Li hurried forward, hugged her fist in a hoarse voice and said, "I'm late, Xiao Ming. I'll see Uncle Wu! It's very disturbing to come to the door today. "

"Oh, where, where, Xiao xianniece is so polite. Xianniece is tired all the way. Please come in quickly!"

"Uncle, please!"

Qin Huan was really stunned by their familiar strength. They didn't know each other at all, okay?

In fact, he doesn't know. Let alone Xiao Xinru claims to be a classmate of the second childe of the Wu family. Even if a stranger comes to visit, Master Wu will politely invite him in first.

Of course, ordinary mud legs naturally don't have this treatment. Maybe they have to be served with a stick.

In this era, the literati class and the uncivilized ordinary people can almost know at a glance, let alone submit them. Therefore, there is no ordinary mud leg who can impersonate a scholar.

Qin Huan, carrying a bag and two small boxes, followed Xiao Ruxin into the gate.

As for Qin Shuang, who led the horse, he was led away by the steward on one side.

Qin Huan really didn't understand the times when he saw that they were still talking from time to time along the way, just like relatives from the next county came to visit.
