Chapter 045 Iron
Jiang Yi said that apart from Yantai, which they must go to last before leaving the state, Yanping would be the last city they would visit.
This is said to the Mo family, meaning that you should buy what you need to buy and prepare what you need to prepare.
However, Feng Aoqing and Mo Nanzhou had never been to Yangping, and they didn't know what was produced here, so they could only ask Mo Beiyuan for advice as they walked.
Mo Beiyuan thought for a moment and replied, "Producing salt, and having officials."
"Huh?!" The two were stunned.
I know about Yantian, there is nothing strange about it, but what the hell is an official?
"Officials? Does that mean there are many officials who left Yangping?" Feng Aoqing asked.
Mo Beiyuan nodded.
"That's great!" Feng Aoqing couldn't help but feel excited and exchanged a glance with Mo Beiyuan.
"You are not normal, absolutely not normal." Mo Nanzhou saw the two of them winking at each other, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
It was an uphill road at this time. We had to go around the mountain and take the official road built later to enter the city. A horse made an anxious sound.
"Mom! The horse's legs seem to be injured! You should go and have a look." Xingbao pulled Feng Aoqing and pointed at a horse pulling the cart.
"Son! Mom is not a veterinarian, I don't know if I can take a look at you!" Feng Aoqing said in embarrassment.
Mo Mingyuan knew something about horses. He stopped Yu Bang's carriage and told him that something seemed wrong with one of the horses.
Feng Aoqing can ride a horse, but the horses at the stable are all looked after by special trainers. She only rides and doesn't understand much.
And if she looked at the horse's legs, she was afraid that it would be kicked and cause internal injuries.
Just as she was hesitating, Mo Beiyuan stepped forward.
He first touched the horse's forehead, then stroked its cheek, and finally combed the hair on its withers and patted it gently to comfort it.
The horse seemed to calm down.
Mo Mingyuan began to examine the leg that Xingbao pointed at from top to bottom.
Finally we found out that the problem was near the horseshoe.
"There's some wood chip stuck in it, it's deep and I can't pull it out. I'll use a knife to dig it out, but I don't know if I can still pull the cart." Mo Mingyuan told everyone.
"That might cause more serious injuries. Let me do it!" Feng Aoqing said.
At some point, Feng Aoqing had a silver object in his hand, so he squatted down to deal with it.
Mo Beiyuan was not that nervous when Mo Mingyuan was squatting there, but as soon as Feng Aoqing went up, his heart suddenly rose to his throat and he nervously observed the situation of the horse.
Fortunately, Feng Aoqing quickly pulled the thing out and handed it to Mo Mingyuan.
"It's not sawdust. The sawdust is only on the surface. This is what's inside."
She took out the water bag again and used the spiritual spring water in it to rinse the horse's wound.
Mo Beiyuan's hand had been resting on the horse. He clearly felt the horse relax, so he let go.
Mo Mingyuan frowned and handed the thing to Mo Beiyuan.
Mo Beiyuan glanced at Mo Mingyuan, who nodded slightly, wrapped the piece of iron in a handkerchief, and put it in his arms.
"I wonder how long this horse has been suffering," he asked softly.
"The wound is still very fresh, it happened today." Feng Aoqing answered him.
"Oh, you know all this!" Mo Beiyuan nodded.
"You don't know whether I know it or not, so why are you saying this to me?" Feng Aoqing seemed to be saying a tongue twister.
Seeing that he was seen through, Mo Beiyuan laughed: "I can't hide anything from you."
"Just ask if you have anything to say. Don't be so secretive. I have to guess what my master means when he says this. Is he satisfied with my answer? Will he be angry with me?"
Feng Aoqing's sarcastic and shrill voice made Mo Beiyuan laugh.
The team continued walking.
Feng Aoqing and Mo Beiyuan gradually walked away from the crowd.
"So what is it?" Feng Aoqing was really curious, and became even more curious when she saw Mo Mingyuan put the thing away.
"Iron." Mo Beiyuan replied.
"You think I'm blind!"
"Jixia's ironware." Mo Beiyuan added.
Feng Aoqing searched the memories of the original owner. The uneducated original owner only knew that Jixia was a neighboring country and knew nothing else.
Oh, by the way, I also know that the eldest princess is having an affair with Jixia’s seventh prince.
"How strong is the seventh brother Jixia?" Feng Aoqing asked suddenly.
"Ah?" Mo Beiyuan hadn't recovered yet. He pondered her words for a moment before answering, "The Seventh Prince is the most powerful prince in Jixia besides the Crown Prince."
"Oh, no wonder." Feng Aoqing looked as if he already understood.
"What's so strange?"
"Nothing, nothing."
The eldest princess really wouldn't want a useless person. She looked at the person next to her meaningfully, not knowing whether he knew it or not.
"When you have time, tell me about the situation in the border countries, their customs and habits, and most importantly, which country has the most handsome young man!"
"You!" Mo Beiyuan's anger suddenly flared up.
The man has already run away to look for the two treasures.
"My Xingbao is amazing. He can tell what's wrong at a glance." Feng Aoqing stuffed a lychee-flavored gummy into his mouth.
"My Yuebao is so good! You too!"
Yuebao likes sweet and sour taste, so Feng Aoqing fed her grape flavor.
She was thinking, they are siblings from the same mother, if Xingbao has extraordinary abilities, Yuebao may have them too, it’s just that no one has discovered them yet.
Xingbao will definitely be a great doctor in the future. He can see through the skin and see bones. He is simply a CT machine in the world!
She was looking forward to Yuebao's abilities, but it didn't matter if she didn't have them, as long as she was beautiful.
The group passed through the village without rest. Last night's experience taught them not to stay in other people's places or eat other people's food. It would be better to sleep outdoors and drink river water.
Such a big river would definitely not be poisoned.
The rain still came from time to time, and the mud on everyone's bodies kept getting wet and dry. The shoes had stuck to the feet, and the pants had stuck to the legs, making everyone look very miserable.
Feng Aoqing began to consider taking out rain boots, rain gear, raincoat, and what to use to cover these things.
The oil-paper umbrellas of this era are heavy and large, so they are definitely not allowed to be carried. It would be better to take out a raincoat, which is made of oilcloth, easy to carry and can have other uses.
Outdoor shoes also need to be taken out. Everyone's feet are covered with blisters that heal and break again, leaving layer upon layer of wounds.
She saw Yuebao using oil paper to store the candy she gave her, and suddenly an idea came to her.
Wouldn't it be better to sew some coarse cloth overshoes on the outside of these shoes?! They will look like homespun shoes!
Just do it like this. When you rest tonight, go to the space to sew. After you finish sewing, go to the city and take out some ginseng to exchange for silver, saying that you are buying shoes.
At this time, they had already reached the official road.
As luck would have it, they had not walked far on the official road when the leader Chen Hetong got off his horse and waved his hand to ask everyone to stand on the side of the road.
It turned out that there was a government convoy ahead, and for some reason it had stopped.
Either they can wait until others leave before leaving, or they can go and ask the officials to let them leave first.
So Chen Hetong went to investigate the situation and came back to tell everyone: "This is troublesome. Someone died. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape for a while."
