Chapter 101 Arrival at Yunwu Village
The village chief glanced at Leader Qin. He understood what Leader Qin meant. The person in front of him was a former prince. The emperor was worried about him, so he asked them to stay and watch over him.
The emperor is very cunning. Now that he has come to this damn place, what kind of trouble can he cause?
He had not seen anyone who came here being pardoned.
He nodded and said politely, "I'll arrange it right away, but you still have to pay money to Murakami to live in that house. Of course, the official can live there for free."
He could treat the refugees indifferently, but Leader Qin was a government employee after all, and he, as the village chief, could not afford to offend him.
There are still many empty houses in the village. Exiles come here every year, so many houses are built. But prisoners die every year, so there are many empty houses.
"That's no problem." Murong Li directly gave the village chief twenty taels of silver.
The village chief took it, glanced at Murong Li and took them directly to the west end of the village. There were several empty houses there, which were just enough for their group to live in.
When we arrived, the village chief pointed to three houses and said, "You can stay here first. Your household registration will be given to you tomorrow."
After settling down, the household registration must be reported and stamped at the county government office.
"Okay, thank you, Village Chief. If you need our cooperation, please let me know." Murong Li bowed to the Village Chief.
The village chief waved his hand and said, "Just don't cause trouble."
After saying that, he left.
There were three courtyards. Su Yue and his four companions were given one courtyard, while Qin and his eleven companions lived in the two courtyards next door.
It's getting late now and it's not easy to clean the yard, so everyone might as well just stay in the carriage for the night and wait until tomorrow morning to deal with it.
At night, Su Qicheng was the only one left in Su Yue's carriage, curled up with a quilt covering him.
Su Yue and the other two had already entered the space.
The three of them came in and had a nice meal before going to bed.
After a whole day of jolting around in the carriage, my bones were almost falling apart.
Su Yue had a good sleep tonight. With Su Qiwen around, Murong Li slept obediently in his own bed.
As soon as it was light in the morning, the three of them left the space and everyone had a meal of dry food.
A dozen people looked at the house. The structure was still in good condition, but it had fallen into disrepair due to years of neglect. The beams were a little collapsed, and the thatched roof was in patches. It had to be repaired before people could live in it.
"Sister, let's go up the mountain now. You can weed the weeds in the yard first." Su Qiwen said.
"Alright."
It seems that this house is really in a bad condition and needs to be renovated.
If she wasn't going to live here for a short time and it was just a temporary stay, Su Yue would have wanted to buy land and build a house here.
There were tools for cutting trees on the carriage, and Qin led the officers up the mountain first.
Murong Li and the other two followed Su Yue up the mountain with the chainsaw given by Su Yue.
Su Yue looked at the Yunwu Mountain behind the village and really took the word "yunwu" seriously.
The mountains on three sides are very high, reaching into the sky. Half of the mountains are hidden in the clouds, and it is really shrouded in clouds and mist.
The mountains on three sides were very steep. Su Yue used her mental power to carefully observe and found that the stones were all rocks, and many places were bare, making it difficult for people to climb up.
To go up the mountain, you have to go up from the village entrance. The slope there is very steep and you can barely get up the mountain.
After looking at the terrain, Su Yue always felt that Yunwu Village was a natural cage. Once the entrance to the village was blocked, the people in the village would have difficulty escaping even if they had wings.
Even with Murong Li's superb lightness skills, he couldn't fly to the top of the mountain.
The dog emperor is really cunning, bringing people here.
But he missed one point. Even if he couldn't go through the sky, he could still go underground. With Murong Li's internal strength comparable to that of an excavator, it would not be difficult for him to dig a passage underground.
After they left, Su Yue looked at the horses, gave them some food, and then weeded the yard.
There are so many weeds. I don’t know if the village chief is deliberately making things difficult for me. It’s obvious that no one has lived in this yard for several years.
As soon as they started working, many villagers came to watch.
Some people came up to chat.
"Did you just come from the capital page?"
A woman in her thirties came straight into the yard and asked.
Su Yue looked at the woman. She was thin, but she was dressed very neatly, and her facial features were pretty. She waited eagerly for an answer.
Su Yue nodded: "Yes, aunt, we left Beijing in July."
The woman's eyes lit up. It was already the end of September, which meant they had only been away from Beijing for three months. She asked anxiously, "So, how is Beijing doing now?"
The northwest is so dry, I wonder how the capital is doing?
"Aunt, which family in the capital do you want to ask about?" The woman's purpose was too obvious.
The woman nodded and said, "Girl, where are you from?"
"From the Marquis of Anding's Mansion." There is nothing hidden from saying this.
"Oh, does that girl know about the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion?"
"I know. Who are you?"
The woman sighed and frowned, "I am the aunt of Marquis Jingyuan. My husband's family committed a crime and was exiled here eight years ago. We have only severed ties with the Marquis Jingyuan Mansion."
"Then why are you asking?"
Could it be that this woman still has hope for the Jingyuan Marquis' Mansion? The married and exiled girl would wish to have nothing to do with her, so why would she try to get her back?
Otherwise, I wouldn't have cut off the relationship in the first place.
The woman looked gloomy. "I just wanted to ask if the old marquis and the old lady are still alive. You should know, right, young lady?"
Su Yue recalled the original owner's memory and still had an impression of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion. It was the emperor's faction and was highly valued by the emperor. The marquis's wife was still there.
And he lived a very glorious life.
Su Yue: "They are very good and highly regarded by the Emperor."
Sure enough, the woman's face turned ugly after hearing this. She smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for telling me, young lady. I won't bother you anymore."
"good."
Su Yue watched her lonely figure until it disappeared, then continued to clean the yard.
After the woman left, several more people came to inquire about the news. Some of them were things she knew, and some were things she didn't know. She told them the truth about what she knew.
No matter what the situation, everyone returned disappointed.
Su Yue sighed. Who would still care about those who were exiled here?
It's hard to leave here.
Unless there is a change of dynasty and a new emperor ascends the throne and grants amnesty, there will be no possibility of escaping from here.
After the weeds in the yard were cleared, Murong Li and the others had not returned yet.
Su Yue cleaned the house.
The room was covered with dust. She looked around and saw only a well at the entrance of the village. There was not much water in the well, so she used a bucket to draw some water from the spatial pond.
After wiping the entire house, Murong Li and the others came back carrying wood.
Two people carried four on each shoulder, except Su Qicheng, who was responsible for holding the axe and saw.
The wood was placed in the yard where Su Yue had cleared the weeds.
"Ah, I'm tired, thirsty, and hungry."
As soon as he put it down, Su Qiwen was so tired that he sat on the ground and gasped for breath. Among the dozen people, he was the weakest one and he really couldn't bear to carry so much.
