Chapter 81 Strange Village
The road ahead became increasingly difficult to walk on. It was not until the sun was about to set that we saw smoke rising from cooking fires not far away.
Old Huang spat out the grass stick in his mouth.
He tugged at the reins and laughed. "Look, there's a house ahead."
Everyone sped up a bit.
After the rain, the road was covered with mud. Every step you took brought up a slurry of mud.
It's really hard to walk.
Even the carriage had difficulty moving forward.
Fortunately, the Shen family's carriage frames were made of high-quality wood, and the frames were also made by skilled craftsmen in Beijing.
On that day, he disguised himself as an ordinary horse dealer and sold it to the Shen family at a low price.
"Let's hurry up and find a place to stay in front. And exchange some food."
Old Huang's words undoubtedly gave everyone a boost.
Even Fu Xuanting has become much faster.
When he walked to Shen Yunyue's side, he turned his head and glanced at her. "Sister-in-law, hurry up. If you're late, the good things will be snatched away by others."
Several members of the Pei and Lu families near Shen Yunyue instantly exerted their greatest strength to rush forward.
Fu Xuanting:……
Shen Yunyue: .... It seems that the speed at which she grabs a spot has frightened everyone.
"Sister-in-law, look at how I can say hello to you."
Fu Xuanting looked depressed.
"If it's hard to say, then stop talking nonsense." Shen Yunyue squinted her eyes and looked ahead.
That place doesn't feel like a village.
When the group got closer, they found that it seemed to be a village.
Scarface Peng murmured suspiciously:
"Was there a village here before?"
"Boss, we've never been here before. Even in winter, we were always busy rushing back to the capital to celebrate the New Year.
Who cares about that?" the monkey said, and rode forward.
"Yingfeng, I'll go first." Shen Yunyue said and ran away.
The people working in the village are all skinny.
His face looked gray and dead.
The lifeless face was numb and gray, without any trace of light.
Shen Yunyue knew at a glance that these people were the lowest class, similar to slaves.
"Hey. What kind of village are you from?" The man with the mustache just wanted to hug Xiangling and roll in bed.
Now he is desperate to find a place to stay.
The person he was questioning opened his mouth and said a few words.
But it shocked everyone.
This skinny man is a mute with no tongue.
I could only point my finger inside and babbled.
The man with the mustache had not expected this, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart.
"how so?"
Fu Xuanting hid behind Shen Yunyue, her face as frightened as a chick left among wolves.
The man close to Shen Yunyue grinned.
His mouth was also empty.
The people gathered at the entrance of the village stopped in their tracks. This place was too mysterious, and they were afraid they would lose their tongues if they went in.
"Sir, how about we go to the next village?"
Scarface Peng snorted coldly:
"The next village is probably sixty or seventy miles away. Can you survive without food or water?"
"Let's go in and see if we can exchange some food?" Shen Yunyue suggested.
"Okay. Let's go in and take a look."
Scarface Peng agreed without hesitation.
Shen Yunyue, who had never seen the world, also wanted to go in and take a look. She moved her eyes and followed Peng Scarface. "Officer, can I go with you to see the world?"
Scarface Peng glanced at her speechlessly.
"You think this is what you call seeing the world? Do you know who this village is most likely owned by?"
"Who is it? It can't be Prince Rui and his gang again, right?" Shen Yunyue shrank her head and looked worriedly at the carriage where Fu Xuanheng was.
Her worry caught Peng Scarface's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the girl.
"It's not Prince Rui's property. This is just my guess. Prince Rui's brothers don't have the ability to do it."
Scarface Peng and Old Huang brought with them the people who had the most say from the Pei, He and Lu families.
Everyone also held a purse in their hands.
Only Shen Yunyue was short and wrapped herself up like a panda.
Old Master He Er looked at Shen Yunyue with a gloomy face.
"Since when have we men allowed girls to interfere in our work?"
The head of the Pei family is an old stubborn man and is very disdainful of this.
Only the head of the Lu family twisted his sleeves with his hands and interrupted without raising his head.
"At this point, what are the things that men can do and women can't do?
I think the girl from the Shen family is pretty good. She’s much better than the boys from our families.”
Patriarch Lu even felt a little sorry.
If he were in the capital, he would definitely want to take the initiative for his grandson.
In the end, she married into the Fu family and became a wife of the Fu family.
Mr. He and the head of the Lu family have always been at odds, and they always exchange sarcastic remarks whenever they meet in official circles.
"Hmph. No matter what time, the ancient precepts cannot be violated. The teachings of our ancestors cannot be violated." Old Master He said sternly and flicked his sleeves.
Walked to the front.
The head of the Lu family chased after him.
“Old Man He. Miss Shen didn’t disobey the He family’s ancestors, why are you so anxious?
Besides.
No matter which family's ancestors saw such a girl supporting the family, they would probably collectively thank her for her efforts in the middle of the night.
It hurts.
Mr. He and the others muttered to themselves.
Their family is in turmoil.
It is undeniable that the Shen family will not break up as long as Shen Yunyue is there.
Scarface Peng didn't expect that the head of the Lu family would have such a high opinion of Shen Yunyue.
He turned his head to look at Shen Yunyue, as if thinking about something.
Shen Yunyue, who wanted to say something, didn't say anything.
It feels good to have a mouthpiece.
There are people patrolling at the entrance of the village.
The people above were holding bows and arrows and pointing them at them.
"Who's going to give their name?"
Old Huang grinned and said:
"We are escorts from the capital to Shihan Prefecture to escort exiled commoners.
I came to the village to exchange for food. Please be lenient."
The people above laughed and laughed:
"What a joke. Food is so expensive, and you, the escorts who eat meat without spitting out bones. And you former dog officials, don't even think about taking advantage of me. Get the hell out of here."
Old Huangtou:……
Too arrogant.
The machete in Peng Scarface's hand was about to burst. He looked at the other man coldly and said, "Brother, let's exchange for some food. Your village must have what you need, right?"
"Our village needs medicinal herbs, do you have any?" the man asked.
Everyone at the door was stunned for a moment.
Not really.
Shen Yunyue hurriedly patted the bag on her back.
"Yes, yes. I dug up a lot of herbal tubers along the way, and bought a lot from the clinic when I passed by. Why don't you go and ask your village chief what herbs he needs?"
What Shen Yunyue meant was that whatever medicinal herbs you need, I might have prepared them.
After all, we also have a big pharmacy in our space.
Those arm-thick ginsengs and basin-sized Ganoderma lucidums on the ground in the space haven't had time to show their effects yet.
People in the village: ... "Little girl, there is a price to pay for lying."
Shen Yunyue also became famous.
"Are you still a man? You're always so slow and inefficient when doing things.
Wouldn’t you know whether I’m lying to you or not just by taking a look at it?
If this happened on the battlefield, someone like you who hesitated like this would only end up as a ghost under the sword."
The other person's face changed color instantly.
The bow and arrow in his hand vaguely had the urge to kill.
A man next to him laughed out loud.
"The little girl is right. It makes us look stingy. You wait at the door. I have sent someone to inform them. It depends on whether our village chief is willing to see you."
Shen Yunyue waved her hand and said, "Thank you very much."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
When Shen Yunyue spoke just now, Mr. He and the others were so frightened that they broke out in sweat.
Another cup of tea passed.
The gate of the village opened.
Three or four men wearing wolfskin clothes came out from inside.
The weapon at his waist had obviously absorbed a lot of blood.
In winter.
It emits a cold and chilling light.
"Our manager is waiting inside. It would be best if we could exchange it with Polygonum multiflorum."
I really won't hide it from you guys.
The Polygonum multiflorum supply in several nearby prefectures has almost been sold out. I heard you were from the capital, and since you're an elderly person, I'm asking a few more questions.
Even if we don't have Polygonum multiflorum, we will still exchange some food for you."
The man who was speaking wore a hat with a colorful feather pinned on it.
Scarface Peng remained gloomy and silent.
Old Huang laughed and was about to speak when Shen Yunyue took over.
"I have Polygonum multiflorum." Not to mention that it was already there in the space, the Queen's private storehouse had collected a lot of medicinal herbs from the imperial palace storehouse, the prince's mansion storehouse, and even the queen's private storehouse.
Among them, there are quite a few Polygonum multiflorum.
Even the private vault of the Shen Mansion had a root of Polygonum multiflorum, which was said to have been given to Shen Cixuan by the deposed crown prince. He had always kept it in a box at home in case of emergency.
The man was surprised when he heard that.
"Girl, you really have it."
Old Master He frowned. He had originally hoped that his conversation and knowledge would impress the village chief and get him to send more food.
I didn't expect to not be able to see the village chief.
He was also defeated by the unsportsmanlike Shen Yunyue with just a Polygonum multiflorum.
Think back to the past.
It is not uncommon for the He family to ask for Polygonum multiflorum.
Just, I was so depressed that I went crazy.
Shen Yunyue held the bag in her arms, looking cautious as if she was afraid that it would be stolen.
Mr. He said angrily:
"I haven't seen how precious you are along the way. Are you worried about being missed now?"
