Chapter 301 Where the Light Doesn't Reach
"It's almost time, let's go out for a while."
Chu Qinshu looked at the sky and thought that most of the people on the beach had moved away, so she pulled Xiao Hulu and climbed onto their respective spiritual bird mounts.
The little gourd didn't ask any more questions and just followed his master.
"Go to the sea area where the ships are anchored."
The Eagle King and the Hawk King received the order and instantly appeared over the sea.
"There's no one on the beach anymore, let's go collect the boat."
Chu Qinshu gave another order, and the Eagle King carried her closer to the boats.
After flying around all the ships, Chu Qinshu discovered that the ships were connected by ropes.
After a little thought, she figured out the reason.
The ships at that time were not very resistant to storms, and when the fleet was sailing on the sea, there would be a leading ship to control the direction.
All the ships are tied together with ropes, probably to prevent them from getting separated in the unpredictable sea.
However, this seems to be quite dangerous. What if one ship cannot keep up or encounters danger? Wouldn’t it affect other ships?
Chu Qinshu had never learned any knowledge related to ships in her previous life, but she had read books on the subject, and she would study it carefully when she had time.
After all, there are already many warships of the Red Spirit Kingdom parked under the Gold and Silver Mountain in her space. Add to that these twenty civilian ships. If she wants to sail overseas and do maritime trade, can she do it at any time?
"Master, maritime trade in this era is a matter of life and death. You are still young, so I advise you to think twice."
Little Gourd wanted to complain about his master's wild imagination.
Just when I said the master was lazy, she is now diligent.
You are not even one year old, what are you thinking about maritime trade?
How can you think about things so far ahead when the most important things haven't been resolved yet?
"Haha, it's human nature to fantasize, you don't understand."
Chu Qinshu smiled awkwardly and reached out to touch the mast closest to her.
"receive."
I have to say, I don’t know if it’s safe to tie all the boats together with ropes, but it really makes it convenient for her.
She only needs to touch the mast of a ship to collect all the ships.
"Let's go find the beggars' den in Youzhou. If they get tempted by our beauty and leave those Yansha people behind, we'll be in trouble."
Chu Qinshu suddenly remembered that beggars are living people. It is possible for a normal person to be tempted by a beautiful woman, let alone beggars, a special group.
But she would not allow the people of Yansha Kingdom to pollute the bloodline of Sheng'an Kingdom.
Even the blood of a beggar will not do.
"Master, are you stupid? The spirit birds are watching, and you can let those beggars do whatever they want?"
Little Gourd didn't care, as it had read the information of all the spiritual birds.
They carry out their master's orders 100% without any compromise.
Unless those beggars don't want to live anymore.
"Go check it out, it's alright."
Chu Qinshu was still worried. The first batch of people sent by Yansha Country were of good overall level.
Even if they were not nobles of Yansha Kingdom, they at least had some assets in Yansha Kingdom.
Not only do they look handsome, but they are also very tender and delicate.
Even if the spirit bird throws him/her into a beggars' den, there is no guarantee that it can pull them out without missing a single one.
"All right."
Little Gourd did not continue to object, as it was also worried that the beggars might cause a death.
It would be a big mistake to let them bear the consequences for this matter.
After receiving the order, the King Eagle and the King Hawk flew quickly to their destination.
As soon as he arrived at the destination, Xiao Hulu was stunned by the scene before him.
"Master, look."
Little Gourd pointed downwards, his eyes wide open.
Are those people still unconscious after being tortured like this?
"Little gourd, don't get too excited."
Chu Qinshu also saw the scene clearly from high above and was truly shocked.
Those people from Yansha Country were like products on an assembly line. They were picked apart by those ragged men and thrown aside.
Spiritual birds are indeed spiritual, and their brains are even more useful than humans.
After the people from Yansha Country were carried over by them, they were divided into many groups, male and female.
The beggars here were also divided into two rows, male and female. The men picked the men's piles, and the women picked the women's piles.
If someone crosses the line, a magical bird will come forward to warn them. If they don't listen, the magical bird will catch the person who has crossed the line and fly him/her high in the sky.
After being scared like this, no one dares to cross the line anymore.
This scene seems strangely harmonious.
"Master, why aren't those people awake?"
Little Gourd still asked the question in his mind.
“I gave them medicine.”
When Chu Qinshu was collecting their clothes, she took the opportunity to drug those people.
Those people will not wake up until dark and until they reach the land of Qingluo Kingdom.
"oh."
The little gourd wanted to support his forehead. It was really too kind.
I didn't even think of this level.
I thought that the people from Yansha country were easily frightened and fainted after being caught by the magical bird.
"Little Gourd, this doesn't look like a beggar's den."
After Chu Qinshu saw the scenery clearly from the sky, she also observed the terrain here.
This is clearly a small village in the mountains. How could the spiritual birds think this is a beggars' den?
"Master, spirit birds use smell to distinguish prey or targets. Maybe this small village is too poor, and the air is filled with the smell of dirt, chaos and poverty, so the spirit birds think this place is a beggar's nest."
Little Gourd could see clearly what was happening below, and of course he could guess what was going on.
Although the people here are all dressed in rags, they all have homes and houses.
Although they are all thatched houses, it is obvious that they were well planned when building them.
They are arranged in rows, with courtyards and roads in the middle.
There are also some wastelands on the hillsides that have been reclaimed and planted with crops.
"There is such a poor village in Sheng'an Country?"
Chu Qinshu was a little shocked.
There were related descriptions in the original book, but those were all situations where Emperor Yongping was trapped, something happened in the Eastern Palace, and the Empress was in control of everything.
She thought that now that Emperor Yongping was a wise ruler and the Eastern Palace was stable, the people should be able to live and work in peace and contentment.
"Master, it's not harvest time yet, and the people are left without clothes and food. This is normal."
Little Gourd is knowledgeable and knows a lot. Even in a prosperous world, there are always places where the light does not reach.
For ordinary people who are as insignificant as ants and grass, they have already done their best just to survive.
Where is there an era of true prosperity for all people?
"The spirit birds are taking good care of us. Let's go back to the space first."
Chu Qinshu was feeling a little depressed. Without waiting for Little Gourd's response, she took it back to the valley together with the Eagle King and the Eagle King.
"Little Gourd, let's go to Jinyin Mountain."
Chu Qinshu left behind the Eagle King and the Hawk King and headed towards the foggy realm.
"Master, even if you give them gold and silver, they won't be able to keep it, and it might even bring them danger."
Little Hulu couldn't figure out why his owner suddenly became so upset, but he still followed her on his short legs to remind her.
