The more Liang Qin thought about it, the more angry he became, but he actually reached out and grabbed Wei Changtian and walked away: "Brother Changtian, let's go, if Miss Liu Shi wants to come, just follow!"

"Ah! Good good..."

Wei Changtian was dragged away helplessly, thinking that this Asura Field was too inexplicable.

Didn't Liang Qin not like himself?What kind of vinegar is this eating?

Could it be because Liang Qin heard about his recent "glorious deeds" and changed his mind?

It's not impossible...

Wei Changtian was thinking wildly here, but Liang Qin was holding his hand while turning his head and giving Yang Liushi a hostile look.

Yang Liushi looked up and looked back, not angry that her man was dragged away by other women, and even had a smile on her pretty face.

The smile seemed to say—

Sister, you don't understand men at all!

Chapter 79 A Chun

When Liang Qin took Wei Changtian's hand and appeared in front of Liang Zhen and others, everyone didn't think there was too much wrong except for being a little surprised.

The people present were all warriors, and they didn't care much about whether men and women were kissing or not. In addition, they all knew that the two had a close relationship, so they didn't see it at the moment.

"Changtian, come quickly!"

Liang Zhen greeted and everyone took their seats at the table.

The tables and chairs were just brought from the inn by the courier, and they were placed in the shade under a large locust tree, on which there were already many dishes and bowls.

Although there is no good food, but it is also considered rich.

The few people were not so particular about it. They sat down and started eating with chopsticks, chatting some gossip while admiring the mountain scenery in the distance.

A lieutenant general opened his mouth to report:

"General, Young Master, we have now entered the Tanzhou boundary, and we will be able to arrive at Zhongling County at night."

"This county is not very big, and the humble post has already sent people into the city to inform the government."

"By the way, it is said that there is a strange mountain called 'Duantian' in the west of the county. The general and the son can go and see if they are interested..."

Liang Zhen and the others did not take the Tanzhou road when they returned to Beijing, so the scenery they encountered along the way in the past few days was quite fresh, and they always went to the local wonders and wonderful scenery every time they went.

It was originally a trip to the border to "escort prisoners", but now it's a bit like an autumn tour...

Of course, the speed of travel will definitely be slower in this way, but it seems that everyone does not care much about this.

It's not a big deal anyway, and it's good to travel in the mountains and water while on the road.

It's just the name of the mountain "Broken Sky"... Liang Qin frowned and expressed his objection.

"This mountain is not good. It is against the name of Brother Changtian. I think we should not go there."

"This……"

Liang Zhen also reacted when he heard the words, and immediately responded: "Qin'er is right! This mountain is nothing to see when he hears the name!"

"I won't stay in Zhongling any longer. After a night's rest in the county seat, we will continue on our way!"

"Yes, General!"

The general hurriedly put down his chopsticks and handed over his mistake to admit his mistake: "Young master, don't blame me, the villain didn't think carefully about this matter!"

"fine."

Wei Changtian waved his hands in disbelief, saying that the ancients were so particular about it.

He clearly wanted to go to this mountain to see, but he couldn't say anything right now, so he had to keep his head down and continue to eat.

Warriors generally eat faster, and it didn't take long for everyone to fill their stomachs to eight percent full.

"Brother Changtian, are you full?" Liang Qin asked in a low voice beside him.

"Well, full."

Wei Changtian put down his chopsticks and hiccupped, and looked around at will until his sight stopped somewhere.

It was a skinny little girl, wearing linen clothes that were obviously ill-fitting, and her hair was messy.

She seemed to be a little afraid of people. She didn't dare to get too close to Wei Changtian, the crowd, or the station, so she sat alone on the stone in the middle of the two places, holding a mixed grain bun in her hand and eating slowly.

Following Wei Changtian's gaze, Liang Qin also noticed this pitiful little girl, and a sense of unbearableness filled his heart.

She hesitated for a moment, then immediately waved a soldier to her side.

"Go and bring that little girl over, speak softly, don't scare her."

"Yes."

The soldier responded and walked to the little girl, bent over and said something.

It could be seen that the girl was a little scared, but in the end she carried a big bamboo basket on her back and timidly followed the soldiers and walked back.

She stood a few steps away from the crowd, bowing her head and not speaking.

"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

Liang Qin smiled and waved: "Come here."

"..."

The little girl raised her head to look at Liang Qin, maybe she felt that she really didn't look like a bad person, and finally hesitantly approached.

"How old are you? What's your name?" Liang Qin asked, pulling her little hand.

"Nine, nine years old, called A Chun..."

The girl's voice is very nice, but the volume is too low, it seems that a gust of wind can blow it away.

"Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?" Liang Qin asked again.

"there……"

The little girl timidly pointed to the low mountain not far away.

"..."

Liang Qin and Wei Changtian looked at each other, and then looked at the Huozhezi in the bamboo basket, and they all understood that this little girl's parents were probably gone, and she should have gone to the mountain to go to the grave today.

This kind of childhood bereavement is not uncommon in this day and age.

If the boy is okay, he may be adopted by other relatives.

But if it is a girl, it is very likely that she can only rely on her own self-reliance, and there are not a few people who end up starving to death and freezing to death.

"Ugh……"

Liang Qin sighed softly, turned around and took a large bowl of food from the table and handed it to the little girl.

"Hungry? Eat something."

"I……"

A Chun swallowed hard and put the bowl back on the table: "Madam, I brought dry food."

"lady……"

Liang Qin was stunned for a moment, but soon understood.

"Master" and "Mrs." should be the most respectful titles they can know for such a child living in a remote country.

Liang Qin smiled and did not correct it, but persuaded softly: "Don't be embarrassed, we will throw away these meals if you don't eat them."

"what?"

A Chun was stunned for a moment, her big eyes flickered in confusion, as if she couldn't understand why such a good meal should be thrown away.

"Well, then I'll eat..."

After struggling for a while, she finally picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, and ate with the encouragement of Liang Qin's eyes.

Seeing this, Liang Zhen and the others didn't say anything, they were still chatting and talking to themselves.

Soon, A Chun ate a big bowl of food.

Maybe it was because she hadn't eaten so full for a long time, and the little girl couldn't hold back her hiccups.

"Drink some water...are you full?"

Liang Qin smiled and handed over another bowl of water.

"Eat, burp, full..."

After drinking the water, A Chun still did not stop the hiccup, her face flushed with shame: "Thank you, hiccup, madam..."

"Unkind."

Liang Qin wanted to pat her on the back, but A Chun suddenly bent down at this moment and shook out the few mountain goods in the bamboo basket.

Wild mushrooms, wild fungus, and a few medicinal herbs... As she hiccupped, she gathered these things together, carefully tied them into a bundle with a straw rope, and placed them gently at Liang Qin's feet.

"Husband, madam, these are for you."

"Take it back, I don't want your stuff."

Liang Qin picked up the mountain goods and wanted to stuff them back into the bamboo basket.

But A-Chun took a step back, lowered his head and said seriously: "Ma'am is kind-hearted to give me food, it's not what I should take for granted."

"..."

Liang Qin's eyes were a little surprised.

She didn't know what to say for a while, but A Chun bowed to everyone at this moment, and then walked away with an empty bamboo basket on her back.

The thin figure quickly walked out a distance, Liang Qin was silent for a while and couldn't help but sighed to Wei Changtian: "I didn't expect this child to be so sensible..."

"Yes."

Wei Changtian glanced at the bundle of mountain goods under his feet: "If she sells these things for food, she will probably eat more for a while."

"..."

Liang Qin was stunned for a moment.

Wei Changtian didn't say anything, just shook his head and shook out a piece of silver from his sleeve, and threw it into the distance.

Yinzi drew an arc in the air and fell into A Chun's bamboo basket.

Chapter 80 Integrity and Good Officials

When the sun went down, Wei Changtian and his party rushed to Zhongling County.

Indeed, as the lieutenant said, this county town is not big, the city gate is dilapidated, and there are moss growing on the city wall, which is obviously neglected all the year round.

There are two reasons for this.

[-]. The people here are too poor.

Second, the officials here are too rich.

Judging from the county magistrate's equally dilapidated mansion, Zhongling County should belong to the former situation.

"Master Liang, the countryside is really shabby."

During the dinner, the thin county magistrate was nervous and apologetic: "If the food is not to your taste, I hope you don't dislike it."

"Lord Wang, what are you talking about? We are all rough people who eat and sleep all day long. It would be nice to have a hot meal!"

Liang Zhen didn't have any air, so he took the lead with his chopsticks after laughing twice.

The magistrate breathed a sigh of relief, with some gratitude on his face.

Everyone started to eat. Although there was no good food or good wine, it was somewhat better than the meal they had at the inn at noon.

While eating, Wei Changtian glanced at the thin county magistrate with patches on his clothes, thinking that he looked like an honest official.

It's just that Zhongling County is located on a major traffic road, and it's not that kind of shitty land, and I don't know why it is so poor under his rule.

Liang Zhen also seemed to have this question, so after eating for a while, he asked casually:

"Lord Wang, I think the land in the Zhongling area is fertile, and it is close to a wide river. Why is this county so poor?"
