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

Pretending to be casual, he asked again if there were any other cities going east.

"Yes, more than 60 miles to the east is Yunling County, which is the largest county in Lueyang County. If it is not close to the border and remote, it might become a prefecture. Girls can go to the county to have a look. Anyway, I'm going to pass by, there is a Mi's restaurant in the county town, which is opened by our boss, and the girl can also visit it..."

From the shopkeeper's next words, Qingyan knew that he was originally a slave of the Mi family, but because of the good performance of the watch box, he was expelled from slavery by the master's young master and released to help manage the tavern.

There are quite a few slaves of the Mi family like him. As long as they are more loyal slaves and have smart children, they will be arranged to learn and read with the young masters in the ethnology.

Of course, it was not to let them take the imperial examination, but to be sent out to manage the property outside, because the elders in the family were still in the Mi family, and there was a high probability that they would not betray even if they were not slaves.

Mijia Tavern basically exists in some towns within the jurisdiction of Yunling County. It can be said that it monopolizes restaurants in almost all towns in Yunling County.

So many people know that the shopkeeper of Mijia Tavern is from a big place, has a lot of experience, and knows more than other people in the town.

Some locals or outsiders who want to inquire about things, they will subconsciously point them over, which also makes the business of Mijia Tavern better, and the shopkeeper also knows more things.

After all, when some outsiders come to inquire, they will more or less reveal some things in other places, which can be regarded as an exchange of news.

Qingyan thinks that the Mi family is interesting. This is an intelligence network. Although it is only within the scope of Yunling County, it is hard to say, maybe there are also outside Yunling County.

Once again, I have seen that the wisdom and ways of doing things of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

Think about it too, communication is inconvenient now, and traffic is very slow, so where does the method of transmitting information come from?

Sometimes the information has already passed before the parties arrive, and there must be their own delivery methods.

After that, I didn't know how to talk about it, so I talked about the pond to the east of the town.

Qingyan was also very interested in that pond, so she followed the conversation and said: "Before I came here, I heard a big brother say that it's called Wang Bawan, and told me not to approach it, saying that many people died in it before, I don't know who those people are. What's going on? Why did you die inside?"

Looking at the curious little girl, Shopkeeper Mi said with a smile: "The origin of the name of Wangbawan has been passed down from a long time ago, and the exact date is no longer available, because someone has seen a bird crawling out of it. The huge bastard, who is said to have a thousand years of Taoism, may have become a master.

From then on, people here often go there to offer offerings and burn incense, hoping that the Eight Great Immortals can bless their families with health and longevity, and make a fortune or something.

As a result, when a woman went to worship there more than 30 years ago, she stumbled and fell into the water. At that time, there were many people there, and those who knew how to swim went down, but many people went down, but they could not be found. .

As time went on, everyone felt that there was no way to save them, and they could only wait for the corpse to float up by itself.

But the woman's family waited for several days, but they couldn't wait for the body to float up, so they had to set up a clothes tomb.

After that, I don't know if it was the ghost of the woman, but every three years, a person would drown there.

Even if Lizheng recruited monks to practice the Dharma, it was of no avail. Gradually, everyone dared not approach there anymore.

But even so, it still didn't stop people from dying in it. Some were thrown in by startled horses while driving a car, some got drunk and stumbled, and even some people who couldn't think about it threw themselves into the water there.

No matter whether it is an accidental death or suicide, it is only one in three years, and there have been more than ten deaths so far. "

Qingyan felt that it was indeed a bit evil, but she had heard that if there was a water ghost looking for a scapegoat, it would take three years to find a scapegoat, and only after finding a scapegoat, the previous ghost would be reincarnated.

But it's a bit strange that the corpse cannot be recovered after falling into the water. Ugly said that there are many bones in the water, which means that the corpses are all there, so why can't they be recovered?

I asked this question to Chou Chou, and Chou Chou said: "Of course they can't salvage it. The water is very deep. I don't know how the puddle was formed before. It is at least tens of meters deep by visual inspection, and the bottom It is connected to the underground river.

Just like a swimming pool, there is not only a water inlet, but also a water outlet. The bodies of those people should have been sucked there when they sank to the bottom, and they couldn't float up at all. "

When Qingyan heard that this situation still exists, it could explain the reason why the corpse could not float, "What about one in every three years? How could it be such a coincidence? Is there really a water ghost looking for a scapegoat?"

Chouchou scratched his head in the space, wanting to say yes, but he was afraid of scaring Yanyan, but he couldn't hide it, it would make her defenseless.

After thinking about it, he still said truthfully: "There really are, not only here, but also in later generations, have you forgotten the villa area in Lion Mountain in Hong Kong City that your mother told you about?
A lot of people died there, and I used the corpses as the foundation to form an extremely negative formation. I absorbed a lot of grievances there and recovered a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have recovered so quickly, and I fought Xiangxiang again one.

"And there is an intersection in your hometown, isn't it that one dies every three years? I heard from your grandma that she was indeed killed by an accident in the first year, and then died in a strange way.

Some found a car that was out of control, and they had already run to the door of the house, and were chased and killed by that car, and one was even more strange, was knocked down by a truck and crushed to death by the wall of the house up.

Now the houses at that intersection are all empty, no one dares to live there at all. "

Qingyan remembered it, really, she didn't have a deep impression of Hong Kong City, she just listened to it as a story, but her hometown really knew, every time I went back and passed by that intersection, my father would pay special attention, that T-shaped intersection was going home The only way to go, even if you want to go around, you can't go around it.

The vertical road at the T-junction is a slope of about to degrees, not very steep. There is a yard below, and the wall has collapsed.

I heard from my parents that it was hit by a truck, but she didn't know that there was one death every three years there, probably because they were afraid of scaring her, so they didn't tell her.

At this time, the dishes she ordered came out, so she had no choice but to stop talking, thanked the shopkeeper, and returned to her table.

Then I realized that she didn't order any staple food, so she was not in a hurry. She drank mutton soup first, um, it tasted delicious, and after drinking it, she felt warm and comfortable.

Then I tasted the lamb meat, which was even better than what she had eaten with her parents before!
And it's not salty, so you don't need staple food.

The lamb meat in the clay pot and the big plate of lamb head meat were not small. Fortunately, Chou Chou sneaked into the space and ate them together, otherwise she would not be able to finish two meals by herself.

Chouchou ate and sent her a voice transmission: "Pack more of this later, it's delicious soaked in sesame seed cakes!"

Qingyan: "There is a dish of mutton steamed buns. When we went to eat it, we ordered it. The staple food and dishes are available. It is the best to eat in winter, especially warming the stomach."

Because it was a cold dish, there was still a lot of braised mutton head meat left in the end, but Qingyan managed to cover it up, and Chouchou took it into the space and put it away.

Glancing at the guy who was busy greeting the new arrivals, he walked up to the shopkeeper and said, "Boss, pack me two more stewed lamb, and one more roasted leg of lamb and mutton wrapped with green onions.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper said hesitantly: "Girl, the roast leg of lamb is okay, it can be wrapped in oiled paper, but the lamb meat has soup, and the guys in our shop don't have much to do, look..."

Qingyan understood what he meant, waved her hand and said: "I have a food box with me, it's on the carriage, I'll go get it right away, you just let the kitchen do the work first."

The shopkeeper nodded, and went to the door of the back kitchen to speak.

Qingyan waited for him to return to the counter before going to the carriage outside, and asked Chouchou to put the food box inside, and then she pretended to take it out of the carriage.

There are big soup bowls and plates in the food box, which are relatively deep. They are said to be plates, but they are actually relatively deep open bowls, which are specially packed for people. They are too shallow and easy to carry on the road. , just in time.

There are three layers in the food box, the bottom layer is the highest. Two servings of lamb can be placed in the soup basin. Of course, the soup should be filled less, and the roast leg of lamb can be placed in the middle. She told the staff to put the roast leg of lamb The meat on the top is shaved off, and the bones are not needed. It is not easy to put it in a food box, and it is enough to put scallions and fried lamb on the top.

Give the food box to the clerk, and let him take it directly to the back kitchen. When the dishes are ready, just put them inside, and then go to the shopkeeper to pay the bill.

The shopkeeper was already making plans, and while typing, he quoted to her: "Three servings of lamb meat cost two renminbi apiece, a total of six renminbi; Thirty Wen for the soup, and eighty Wen for a portion of fried mutton with green onions, a total of one or two and ten Wen, so I’ll take the girl for one tael.”

Qingyan happily paid the bill.

Seeing that she packed so much, the shopkeeper knew that she was not going to spend the night in this town. It looked like she was planning to eat on the road. If she stayed here for one night, she could come here to eat again at any time, no need now Just pack it.

After thinking about it, I couldn't help reminding: "Girl, don't blame me for talking too much. If the girl is going on the road now, it's best to find someone to spend the night before dark, and go on the road after dawn the next day. Don't sleep in the wild. .”

Qingyan asked with some doubts: "Why is this? Could it be that there are robbers on the road?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "That's not true. Although there are few people here, but because it is close to the border and also close to the military camp, the previous bandits and bandits have been cleared out, and now most of them are temporary. The chance of encountering bad guys with intentions is not great.

The most dangerous thing on this road is the wolves. There are many uninhabited places on the road, and you often encounter wolves, especially at night. If you sleep in the wild, it is easy to attract wolves. Many people have been killed by wolves before. up.

Therefore, safety is the top priority for girls. If you encounter a village before dark, try to spend the night in the village as much as possible. Where there are villages, wolves generally avoid them and rarely attack.

If there is really no village, then drive at night, try to take the main road, don't go on the small road, if you don't stop, those wolves won't run to the road. "

Hearing this, Qingyan nodded seriously, "Thanks for the shopkeeper's reminder, I will pay more attention and try to find a good place before dark."

Although grateful for the shopkeeper's kindness, she didn't take the wolves too seriously in her heart, not because she didn't know what to do, but because there were ugliness, not to mention wolves, even tigers were not afraid of her.

As long as it is a beast, it can be intimidated by Chou Chou. Compared with wolves, she is more worried about robbers.

The wolves really made her meet, and it is estimated that they will become her guardian beasts in the end. Of course, this cannot be said to outsiders, otherwise they will think she is crazy.

After a while, the man came out with a food box, opened it on the empty table next to her, and let her see the food inside.

"Girl, look, the dishes are all ready, do you have any other orders?"

Qingyan nodded and said: "No more, it's time to work."

I thanked the shopkeeper again, said goodbye by the way, and carried the food box out of the tavern with the buddy, and worked together to put it on the carriage.

It's not that she can't carry it by herself, it's just that the food box is really heavy. It would be difficult for a man to carry it. If she can take it away easily, it's a bit too eye-catching, so it's better to keep a low profile.

After putting away the food box, she took out five copper coins and stuffed them into the waiter's hands, "Thank you, little brother."

The guy didn't expect to receive a tip, so he was so happy that he made several bows to Qingyan before returning to the shop.

Qingyan got into the carriage and prepared to continue walking westward to buy other things, but found that the previous family had also finished eating, so the four of them got on the donkey cart one by one and headed east.

Qingyan raised her eyebrows, wouldn't this family also go to Yunling County?Of course, not necessarily, maybe they are going to some villages in the middle.

Without thinking about it, I asked Chouchou to put the food box in the space after leaving the entrance of the tavern. The dishes outside would be cold after a while. Although there is a pot now, it can keep fresh, so why bother with the formalities?

I just finished a meal of mutton and drank hot mutton soup. My whole body feels warm and comfortable.

While walking west, I was thinking about what else to buy.

At the entrance of an alley, Qingyan checked that there was no one around, and asked Chouchou to put the cauldron and coarse cloth into the space.

I'm going to buy some food and spices in a while, and I have to go to the grocery store to buy a lot of things, I'm afraid there is no place to put them.

At least a few pottery bowls and pots should be bought, those were taken away by the three members of the He family before, and now there are no more in the Chou Chou space.

Walking to the carpenter's shop, Qingyan went in and asked. The carpenter said that it would take two days to make a carriage, but they had to wait. They had a batch of work in hand, and they could only do it for her after it was finished.

In the end, Qingyan had no choice but to buy ten wooden sticks ten centimeters thick and two meters long from him, and then she would make a simple shed by herself.
