Chapter 284: Doing it calmly
Two days later in the morning, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two arrived at Yangzhou Prefecture. They felt that the atmosphere in Yangzhou Prefecture was a little tense.
The city guards carefully checked their household registration cards and asked them casually, "Did you come to the city gate early in the morning a few days ago?"
Shi Xiaoliu looked at the official in surprise: "Sir, why don't you go into the city so early in the morning? Are you standing outside the city gate to watch people entering the city?"
The official glanced at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Go in and ask a few questions."
Shi Zelan followed Shi Xiaoliu into the city, while Xia Yu followed behind and heard the gatekeeper ask similar questions. ,
Xia Yu shook his head and said, "This is my first time in Yangzhou Prefecture. I used to live in Nanfang City."
The three of them entered Yangzhou Prefecture, and after listening to people's discussions, they went to the grain store to buy rice and flour, and then went to the market to buy vegetables.
The three of them had lunch in the tea shed at the city gate, and then listened to everyone's talk about what happened to the bandits in the mountains.
Some people say that it should be a good deed done by a wandering person.
"It was done by the gods. When the criminals woke up, they didn't know why they were in the government jail."
"Brother Lin, long time no see. Your little cousin is a policeman. Tell us about the situation."
"He said that the city gate officials were the ones who knew best what was going on."
"I know something. When I entered the city that day, I saw two carriages rushing towards the city gate without any drivers."
"That day, I went into the city to sell vegetables. I was in the front of the line. I remember that it was a carriage driven by two young men. They got off the carriage when they were almost at the city gate."
"Hey, uncle, you were there that day. Do you remember what the two boys looked like?"
Shi Xiaoliu and the other two also turned their heads curiously to look over. The man shook his head and said, "I thought about it carefully later, but I couldn't remember what they looked like."
"Pa." Suddenly someone clapped his hands and said, "Top martial artists naturally have ways to avoid being recognized by others."
"Yesterday, I heard that a group of soldiers left. Do you know where they went?"
"They must be going to clear out the bandits' lair. Someone said that day that they had robbed and killed officials."
“They must have killed a lot of people. Why are the people in Jianghu abiding by the rules this time?
I've heard people say before that people in the underworld would never send bandits to the government. ”
"When will the government issue a document to inform us of the progress of the case?"
"Such a major case will not be reported in a short time. They have committed too many crimes, and the officials must investigate the crimes involved."
Shi Xiaoliu and his three companions left the city. This time, they rented an ox cart and reported the name of a nearby village.
They got off the ox cart at the intersection, and the driver watched the three of them walk into the path.
Shi Xiaoliu and his three companions waited until the driver had gone far away, then they turned out from the small road and decided to return to the foot of the mountain via the official road.
Before 3 p.m., they returned to the top of the mountain, and the three decided not to go down the mountain for the next few days.
At night, the three of them sat on the roof and discussed their trip to the canyon the next day.
Shi Xiaoliu said he wanted to dig medicinal herbs, while Shi Zelan wanted to pick some special leaves.
Xia Yu said that the three of them could go to the canyon first, come out of the canyon, and then arrange other things.
The next day, they went down to the bottom of the canyon. Shi Xiaoliu dug herbs at the bottom of the valley, while Shi Zelan looked for stones along the river bank.
Xia Yu first accompanied Shi Xiaoliu to dig herbs for a while, and then ran to Hecai to watch Shi Zelan picking up stones.
When the cute water monster emerged from the river, neither of them looked surprised.
Shi Zelan waved at the water demon: "Did a group of people with bad smells come here a few days ago?"
The water monster didn't come forward, but it nodded.
Shi Zelan sighed after seeing this: "Don't show up so easily in the future. There are many brave people in this world."
The water demon just swayed its body. Shi Zelan saw it and asked curiously, "Can you find a colorful stone with spiritual energy?"
She immediately felt that the water demon was unhappy, and Shi Zelan quickly said, "I don't want yours."
The water monster suddenly dived into the river. Shi Zelan turned around and looked at Xia Yu: "Do you think it understood what I said?"
"It understands what you say, but as for whether it can help you choose stones, I think it's a little difficult."
Shi Zelan agreed with Xia Yu's opinion, and they picked a few more beautiful stones on the river bank.
When Shi Xiaoliu told them to go together, the water monster never showed up again.
"We are leaving. We will come back in a few days. Please take care of yourself."
When Shi Zelan left, he still shouted towards the river.
After they walked for a long time, the water monster appeared and saw no one with a good smell on the river bank.
At the bottom of the canyon, another group of people came. They were talking and laughing and it was very lively.
"A few days ago, a strange thing happened at the gate of Yangzhou City."
"Brother Big, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what strange thing happened."
"That morning, just as the city gates were opened, two unmanned carriages rushed in. Then someone shouted that the carriages were full of bandits from the mountains."
Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were walking further away at this time. They should be able to find some interesting things in the deep mountains.
At 3 p.m., Shi Xiaoliu and the other two returned to the top of the mountain.
On this day, the mountain was quite lively, as if people had finished their farm work and were planning to go up the mountain to relax.
On the second day, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two decided not to leave the top of the mountain. In the morning, they each practiced in their rooms.
At the time of Shen, they left the room and the three of them sat on the edge of the mountain, looking at the people picking herbs on the mountainside.
They heard someone on the mountainside exclaim in surprise: "The herbs here are growing so well, but it's a pity that they are all ordinary varieties."
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu turned to look at Shi Xiaoliu, who quickly explained, "When we were sowing the herbs, we were sowing seeds of common herbs."
The medicinal herbs on the mountainside had almost been picked by the people who came earlier to pick them.
But later, when the three of them practiced their spiritual planting skills, a new batch of medicinal herbs were produced.
"Brother Nian, this piece of land is very spiritual. Let's plant some herbs here. Do you think it will work?"
"Come plant it next spring. If you plant it now, I'm afraid it won't survive until autumn."
The people on the mountainside left, and the foot of the mountain became much quieter.
The group decided to stay in the mountains for a few days, so with someone leading the way, they headed towards the canyon.
On the second day, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two practiced spiritual planting techniques on the top of the mountain. At one moment the top of the mountain was covered with green, and at another moment no grass grew at all.
The three men tossed around on the top of the mountain for a whole day, and the grass and trees on the top of the mountain were all pressed close to the ground by them.
The three of them exchanged their experiences during cultivation, and all agreed that their spiritual planting skills had improved.
Shi Zelan said with a happy face: "In the future, I will use plants to trip people up, and I can do it without making any noise."
