Tricked by a ferocious beast into time-traveling, the story begins with fleeing famine.

"Girl, we don't just have the Zhuyeqing here, we also have the famous Ganhe wine.

This wine is produced in Hedong. In the past, the fine wine in Xinghua Village attracted officials from all over the country.

Li Bai, Du Fu, etc. all came here to visit wine and write poems. Du Mu's "Qingming" poem is even more sung. dry peace".

The price is the same as this bamboo leaf green wine, if you bring it to the elders in your family to drink, you can try these two kinds.

The girl is also a coincidence, we just bought yesterday afternoon, and there are some, I supply these two kinds to the largest restaurant in the city, and usually only the rich ones are left to buy in the restaurant, so Usually not much left. "

Qingyan can also understand that this is equivalent to the kind of special offer. Some restaurants just have some special offer. It is a gimmick that if you can't drink or eat it in other places, you can raise the price.

At this time, the buddy Xiao Shan also came back, and said to the shopkeeper: "There are two jars of ten catties left, and one jar of five catties."

The shopkeeper: "Go and see if there is still some dry wine."

Xiao Shan ran to the back to look again, and came back and said, "There are more dry and wine, and there are forty catties, all of which are ten catties a jar."

The shopkeeper looked at Qingyan, "That's all, do you want the girl? If you want everything, I can lower the price for the girl."

Qingyan weighed a few kilograms when she heard it, and said directly and happily: "I want all of these, and the shopkeeper will give me the lowest price, and you must also guarantee the quality of this wine. I will buy it back as a gift." Elders, don't let me lose face."

The shopkeeper assured with a serious face, "Young lady, don't worry, I've been here for decades in Zuixianzhuang, since my grandfather's generation, and I won't ruin my signboard for these dozens of catties of wine.

And because of the filial piety of the girl, the price I will give you must be the lowest. My bamboo leaf sake and dry wine are usually two taels of silver a catty. This one is 65 catties in total, which should be 130 taels. The girl will give it to you. I'm fine with 20 taels, how about I give the girl ten taels cheaper? "

After hearing this, Qingyan felt that it was acceptable, she nodded, and directly gave a silver note of 100 taels and taels.

The shopkeeper took a closer look at the authenticity of the bank note, and put it directly in the cash box under the counter.

He asked Qingyan again: "Girl, do you think this wine needs to be delivered to the girl's place?"

Qingyan shook her head, "No need, my horse is right outside the door, just put it in the basket on the horse's back, it should fit."

The shopkeeper and two assistants helped move the wine out. First, they stretched out their hands to test whether the baskets were firm. Don't break the wine jar at the door before leaving.

Finding that the basket was quite strong, she first took out the food box inside, Qingyan had already asked Chouchou to put her baggage and stones into the space, 65 catties just put 35 catties on one side, and thirty catties on the other side, three Put a food box on the side of ten catties and the weight of the other side is almost the same.

In this way, the two sides are just balanced, and when you walk a certain distance, when you reach a place where there is no one, you can put all the ugly things into the space, and it doesn't matter if the two baskets are empty.

After thanking the shopkeeper and the two assistants, Qingyan led the horse and headed towards the east gate.

There are quite a lot of people on the road at this time, and there are many carriages going back and forth, presumably they are going out because it is not so hot in the morning.

Because there are people on the same road along the way, there is no chance to put the wine into the space, so I can only walk forward slowly, fearing that the wine jar will be broken if I walk too fast.

After walking for more than 40 minutes, I came to the gate of the city. I followed the people out of the city from the gate on the right. After crossing the moat, Qingyan went to the path on the right.

There were few people on the small road, and after another meters, there was a fork in the road to the right. The traces on the road were very new, and there should be villages and towns there, and people walked around every day.

Qingyan turned in along the path, and finally no one went on the same path, so Chouchou put all the things in, not even leaving the baskets outside.

Qingyan got on her horse and ran forward along the path.

Chou Chou has checked with his spiritual sense. There is a town two miles ahead, and there are five or six villages around it. After passing these villages, there is a big mountain. They can go into the mountain and just wait for it to get dark.

There was no further stop along the way, and I passed several villages in a hurry, and went straight into the mountain.

Some villagers working in the fields raised their heads when they heard the sound of horseshoes, and saw a burst of dust on the road. Before they could see the person on the horse, the horse had already left.

"Brother, did you just see someone riding past?"

A farmer in his 30s said to his elder brother next to him.

The elder brother on the side nodded, and said with some doubts: "I see, our road is not a major road, and there are people passing by on horseback. I don't know what to do in that mountain?"

The younger brother squinted his eyes and guessed: "Could it be that there is something good in the mountain? Didn't my lord say that someone once occupied the mountain and became king in that mountain, and later the emperor proclaimed himself emperor in the Xingtang Mansion, and sent a general to encircle and suppress it. Ended the den of thieves.

At that time, it was just gold, silver and jewelry, and it took two full days to pull them with an ox cart. Could it be that there are still hidden items in it that have not been found?
It can't be said that the man just now is the descendant of the bandit who slipped through the net! "

The elder brother looked at him in surprise, and felt that what his younger brother said made sense.

However, they just thought about it, and they would never dare to go into the mountain to have a look, not to mention that there are many wild beasts in the mountain, if they are really descendants of thieves, ordinary people like them will only have to die if they encounter them.

Qingyan didn't know that she just passed in front of people in a hurry, which aroused people's daydreams. Of course, it doesn't matter if she knows, it doesn't affect her anyway.

Before entering the mountain, Chouchou said to Qingyan: "It seems that we don't need to take out the car for emergency. There is actually a ruins of a cottage in this mountain. It has not been lived in for some years, but some houses are still intact. of.

Especially there is a dark room inside, no, it should be said that the basement is more appropriate, a large underground stone room was dug under the house, and there are things in it! "

Qingyan immediately became interested when she heard this, "Where is that place? Was it a bandit den before?"

Chou Chou: "Looking at the layout, it should be the residence of bandits who occupy the mountains as kings. Ordinary people would not build villages in this deep mountain. Not to mention the inconvenience of transportation, even those beasts are enough for them to drink a pot.

The scale of this cottage is not small, it should be besieged by a large number of officers and soldiers, otherwise the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it can't be easily taken over by others.

And those bandits should have been executed on the spot, because in a mountain stream behind the stockade there are a lot of bones lying in disorder, and the clothes that have not been rotten, it should be the bones of those bandits. Of course, there are also many officers and soldiers. Also saw some armor inside. "

Qingyan is not interested in this, she is more concerned about the things in the cave, so she then asked: "Then what are the things in the underground stone chamber you mentioned? Is it gold, silver and jewelry?"

Chou Chou: "It's some gold and silver jewelry and some jade and coral ornaments. They look like treasures. They are placed in a dark compartment of an underground stone room. There should be a lot of them in the cave before. They may be officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress them." Get away.

I don't know if the bandit was stubborn and was not interrogated, or he was killed before he could tell. Anyway, he was not discovered and kept.

The design of this burrow is also good. Either there are talents in this mechanism in this cottage, or it is made by people who are proficient in mechanisms that were specially found from outside.

The inside is very dry, and the inside of the secret compartment is in a vacuum state. The gold, silver and jewelry have not been oxidized until now, and they are still as good as new. "

"Then show me the way, let's go over there, just wait there until dark, and take the things by the way."

She was going to go over there to take a good look, and explored the ruins as an adventure.

As for the mountain stream piled with bones, they were all bones anyway, so there was nothing to be afraid of. She was accompanied by the ancient strange beast Ugly, so she didn't feel that ghosts and ghosts could hurt her at all.

After entering the forest, Chou Chou also came out of the space, squatted on Qingyan's shoulder, and commanded the horse to walk into the forest.

This mountain is very big, but it is not steep. Although there is no road, it is not difficult to walk.

The main reason is that the northern forests are not like tropical rainforests or southern forests. The vines in the forest are criss-crossed and it is difficult to walk. In the northern forests, there are mostly deep weeds on the ground. The trees are straight and straight, and there are some gaps in the middle. Horses can pass too.

Coupled with the fact that there are ugly gods to explore the way, basically they will not step on the pit.

Following Chou Chouzhi's route all the way to the southwest, she saw a lot of ripe wild fruits on the way, and Qingyan couldn't help but pick some and put them in the Chou Chou space.

There is no way, she always feels that it is a waste not to pick it up when she sees it.

Not only that, but also picked up a few nests of wild eggs on the road, and also beat a few pheasants.

In fact, pheasant is much more delicious than hare meat. If the hare meat is made alone, it has an earthy smell, and it tastes better when it is stewed with pheasant.

Pheasant is fine on its own, and you can also stew mushrooms.

Because of the rain the day before yesterday, a lot of mushrooms came out in this forest, and most of these mushrooms are familiar to Qingyan, and they are not poisonous.

Like the umbrella-shaped white mushrooms that grow under the poplar trees, and some Coprinus comatus grows under the peach trees, each one is like a big chicken leg.

This is delicious fried directly, or stewed chicken, Qingyan couldn't help getting off her horse and picked a lot.

She asked about Chou Chou, and the distance to the cottage is not very far. If you walk normally, you can get there in an hour or two after entering the mountain.

Anyway, she had plenty of time, so she was not in a hurry. She stopped and stopped on the road, and it took three hours to get to the abandoned cottage.

Looking at the ruins of the cottage in front of him, he finally realized what Chou Chou said just now was the size of the cottage.

She counted dozens of yards of stone houses and adobe houses that were either collapsed or still standing, and they all caught up with a big village!
The current villages are not like those of later generations, with hundreds or thousands of people at every turn. Now, as long as there are more than five households, it can be considered a small village. With dozens of yards, it is conceivable that this is not a small scale.

There are not only houses built of stone and adobe in this cottage, but also watchtowers built of stone.

This watchtower is three or four stories high, thick at the bottom and thin at the top, and only a few people can stand on the highest point to keep watch inside.

There is also water drawn from the mountain spring in the cottage, forming a pool not far away, which should be used for their daily water.

A well was dug in one of the large courtyards. The wall of the largest courtyard was built of stones and did not collapse. It can be seen that it was quite strong when it was built before.

Qingyan first climbed up the watchtower curiously and took a look inside. Standing on the top of the watchtower, she looked around and found that the view here is really good.

Because this is already considered the high point of the mountain, standing on the three or four-story watchtower and looking around, you can basically see everything without being blocked.

Of course, the places with dense trees on the mountain must be somewhat sheltered, but if someone walks in it, they can still find it, unless there is no moonlight at night, there is no way.

Ordinarily, if those officers and soldiers came to encircle and suppress on a large scale, they should be able to see it here, but thinking about it, even if they saw it, it seemed useless. Unless they ran away directly, they would still have to fight to the death.

After getting down from the watchtower, Qingyan went to the biggest room in the middle, which should be the place where the owner of the cottage lived before.

There are a total of six houses in the big courtyard, and they are still intact. Of course, they cannot be said to be intact, as the windows and doors are still damaged.

It should have been destroyed by a fierce fight.

Walking in, the tables, chairs and benches inside are still complete, but there are many black stains on them, and I don't know if it is the blood stains that were stained before.

Because no one has lived in or taken care of it for many years, grass has grown on the floor of the house, and the stone bricks on the ground, the grass is drilled out of the cracks, and its vitality is really tenacious.

The yard is also overgrown with weeds, but there is also a stone paved road leading to the outside of the yard, so it does not affect walking in.

Qingyan didn't look at other rooms but went straight to the room on the far right, Chou Chou said that the entrance to the underground cave was in that room.

Sure enough, when I got there, I found a wooden cabinet lying on the side, and there was a hole in the wall that was as high as a person.

I thought that the wooden cabinet should have been used to block the entrance before it came, and it was directly destroyed by those officers and soldiers. They thought there was nothing in it, so they didn't bother to restore it.

Qingyan asked Chouchou to take out a high-gloss flashlight, turned it on, and went directly into the hole. The hole was always open, so there shouldn't be a problem of lack of oxygen inside.

Entering the entrance of the cave is a stone staircase, which goes straight down and is a bit steep.

The entrance is very secretive. From the outside of the house, it looks like a slightly thick wall, nothing special.

The air gets drier as you go down. Sure enough, as Chou Chou said, this underground stone chamber is very well-made and not damp at all.
