Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

"What are you doing? You are not allowed to gather together and talk. If you want to sleep, go to sleep. If you don't want to sleep, go move some rocks!"

At this time, several guards on patrol came over cursing.

When the people in the shed heard the noise, they scattered and each found a corner to lie down and rest.

After the patrol left, the other two also came back.

The three of them quietly found a deserted place and exchanged the information they had learned today.

Finally, Chuwu asked, "Do you know how the dead people here are dealt with?"

One of them answered: "I heard that they were thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves."

Chuwu thought for a while before saying, "I have found the man from the Zhao family. I will tell you who he is when I get back.

Tomorrow morning, I will fake my own death and go to report to the prince. You two should be careful here.

Keep an eye on those who have been wrongly accused and don't let them die.

These are all witnesses.

You guys have to worry about it too, if it really doesn't work out, just get out of here first."

"Don't worry, boss. We know what to do."

Chuwu nodded, and the three of them went back carefully.

The next morning, before dawn, a burst of noise broke the silence.

"Get up! Get up! Get up and work!"

"Yes, yes, we are up, sir."

However, when people stood up, they found that one of them was motionless.

"Little brother, get up. If you don't get up, you will be whipped."

A man urged softly, but the other party still did not respond.

Suddenly, another man shouted in fear: "Ah! Help! Someone's dead!"

Hearing the shout, people around gathered together.

The person lying there was as pale as paper and motionless, obviously dead.

Two of the men knelt beside Chuwu, who pretended to be dead, with sad faces.

One person said in great sorrow: "Wang Xiaoer, why did you leave? We went to the city together to find work. How can I explain to your family if you leave?"

Another person also echoed sadly: "Yeah, what will we do if you leave? You are so irresponsible."

At this moment, a man who looked like a manager came over and shouted, "Why are you making so much noise here so early in the morning?"

The two men replied in panic: "Dead...dead."

"My brother is dead."

The official shouted impatiently: "He's dead, so what's the point of making a fuss! Get back to work!"

As he spoke, he waved the whip, as if he was going to whip people in the next second.

The two looked at each other, then reluctantly followed the others out of the room, looking back every few steps.

They prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that no wolves would appear in broad daylight, otherwise their boss would be in trouble.

At the same time, the steward ordered the people around him, "Go and call Doctor Wang to check the cause of death."

Not long after, an old man with a thin body and haggard face hurried over.

He first felt the deceased's pulse, then turned over the deceased's eyelids for a closer look, and finally undressed the deceased and pressed on several parts of the body to check.

After a careful diagnosis, Doctor Wang slowly stood up.

Then he said, "This man must have died because he was anxious and afraid of overwork."

When the steward heard this, he cursed, "What bad luck! He just came yesterday, and he died today. How naive."

"Someone come! Throw him to the back hill."

As soon as these words were spoken, two people came over, lifted up Wang Xiaoer's "corpse", and strode towards the back mountain.

Xigu Town

This is a beautiful water town.

It is a special town in Luzhou. It is larger than other towns and has the area of ​​a county.

It is well connected and can lead to many places.

It can be said to be a small transportation fortress, surrounded by clear rivers and dense bamboo forests.

The architectural style here is unique, full of the characteristics of the Jiangnan water town. The thousand-year-old bridge spans the river, connecting the streets on both sides.

There are rows of shops on both sides of the street, arranged in an orderly manner.

There are small boats in the river for people to rest and ride for fun, and some local specialties are also sold on them.

The water town has a unique flavor at night.

Lanterns are hung high, the lights are bright, and the lights are reflected on the river, like a beautiful painting.

At this time, Shen Jingyi and King Xuan were standing at the bow of the boat, admiring the night view on both sides of the river.

Shen Jingyi raised her head slightly, and the breeze blew across her face, bringing coolness.

The sparkling waves on the river reflect the dreamy lights on both sides of the river, as if time has stopped at this moment.

They arrived in the afternoon, and after resting at the post station, King Xuan took her out for a walk.

"This town is so beautiful." She exclaimed unconsciously, with joy in her eyes.

Those high-hanging red lanterns appear particularly warm under the night sky, like stars lit up for this water town.

King Xuan stood beside her with a faint smile on his face.

The small boat they were riding on was rocking gently, and the boatman skillfully controlled the oars to make the boat move slowly on the water.

People around were also talking in low voices, some were rowing, and some were tasting food on the shore. The atmosphere was lively and warm.

"Let's go there and have a look."

Shen Jingyi pointed to a small restaurant built along the river, with tempting aroma wafting outside.

Her stomach was already protesting against enjoying the view.

"Okay, let's go to its house."

King Xuan nodded with amusement. He also heard her stomach protesting, so he told her to fill her stomach before going out, but she didn't listen.

The boat soon approached the shore, they got off the boat and walked into the restaurant.

The decoration inside the restaurant is full of Jiangnan charm, with wooden tables and chairs, exquisite porcelain, and several paintings depicting water village scenery hanging on the wall.

The waiter came over immediately after seeing them. "Sir, please come in."

Chuba stepped forward and said, "Give us a private room."

The waiter saw how they were acting and knew that they were people he couldn't afford to offend, but there really were no private rooms left, so he could only bite the bullet and apologize, "Sir, I'm sorry, there are no private rooms left. Could you two condescend to sit down here?"

After Shen Jingyi turned around and looked around, she smiled and nodded to King Xuan to show her agreement.

So, the two of them found a seat by the window and ordered some local specialties.

While waiting for the food to be served, the shopkeeper personally brought a screen and placed it next to their table, cleverly separating a small, relatively independent space while also blocking the view of other guests in the hall.

Nanny Qin, Chuntao, Qiuju and the other five people, Chuqi and Chuba, sat at another table outside the screen.

The food was served quickly and before long, one delicious dish after another was placed on the table.

The steamed white fish is tender and delicious, the bamboo tube rice is fragrant, the fried tofu is golden and tempting, the cold and sweet lotus root slices are refreshing and refreshing, and the secret beggar's chicken is even more mouth-watering;

There is also the pickled mustard greens and fish ball soup, which is steaming hot and exudes a rich aroma.

"These dishes look really good!" Shen Jingyi said excitedly, with a gleam in her eyes that showed she was hungry.

King Xuan smiled slightly, his eyes gentle, "Let's eat. I know you are hungry."

As he spoke, he considerately served Shen Jingyi a bowl of fish ball soup and placed it in front of her.
