The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

By this time, it was already dark.

They returned to the carriage and prepared to leave. Mu Qingcheng looked at the big snake nailed to the tree and hesitated.

"Yunqing, can I take that... that... that away?"

Yun Qing was stunned, not knowing what she was talking about. Mu Qingcheng went over and tugged at his sleeve, then wrote the word "snake" on his palm.

Yun Qing twitched his lips and looked in her direction, feeling very confused. Didn't she say she was afraid of snakes? Wasn't she the one screaming in fear? Girls were really troublesome. Sometimes he really couldn't understand what they were thinking.

He asked her puzzledly, "Why?"

Mu Qingcheng laughed dryly and said, "Snake gall is medicine, don't waste it, it might be useful to you!"

She was actually thinking, "Such a large snake, its skin must be worth a lot of money!" She had no money, so she might take the snake to the market and try her luck; maybe she could even get some money!

Yun Qing was very surprised to hear this and was deeply moved. He thought that this little girl was thinking about him all the time and still wanted to cure him even though she was so scared.

"Then collect all the other snakes!" Yun Qing wrote.

"Why?" This time it was Mu Qingcheng's turn to be confused.

"I'll take it to the market and change it into a skirt for you."

"Ah!" Mu Qingcheng was so moved that she almost cried when she saw what he wrote. This man had nothing, but still wanted to buy her a new dress.

The two men were moved by each other, and in an instant, their revolutionary friendship was elevated to a friendship of life and death.

Finally, Yun Qing was the one who collected the snakes into the basket, while Mu Qingcheng stayed away. After finally packing up the snakes, the three of them continued on their journey.

Sunset!

The cave where Mu Qingcheng and Yun Qing lived welcomed a new group of visitors.

Six strong men dressed as hunters came to the edge of the pond in the night, with bows and arrows slung over their backs, quivers hanging from their waists, and in their hands they carried their hunted game: rabbits, pheasants, and a young musk deer.

"Third brother, don't go back to the mine tonight. Let's have a good night here, brothers, so we don't have to listen to the scolding when we go back."

"Okay! I'll listen to my second brother. Whoever of you wants to go back and get scolded can go back! Anyway, I'm following my second brother." The third brother flattered the second brother.

The remaining four looked at each other and threw the prey in their hands to the ground.

One of the youngest said, "What else is there to say? It's already dark, and it will probably be midnight by the time we get home. Who the hell would even think of leaving food for us? We are the kind of people who are left unloved and uncared for, fit only to work. I'm not going back!"

The second brother patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Hu Zi is right, brothers, let's get started! We have food and drink, no matter who the hell it is, don't even think of asking me to go all over the mountains to look for him."

Several people had clear division of labor: some collected prey by the river, some collected firewood, some moved stones to build a stove, and some made a fire.

"Second brother, second brother, I saw a cave over there. There is nothing in it, but it is very clean. There is also a ready-made stone bed, which is big enough for the six of us to sleep!" Hu Zi, who was collecting firewood, ran back in a hurry.

The second brother was making a fire. He put down the firewood in his hand and excitedly called everyone else to come and take a look.

Several people came to the cave, lit torches and walked around the cave. It was indeed very big and clean.

"Brothers! Hurry up and move all your stuff in. We finally don't have to live in the wilderness anymore."

Soon the cleaned prey was moved into the cave and a fire was lit in the cave.

"Wow! There really is a bed here, such a big bed. It's a pity we didn't get a young lady to warm the bed."

"Brother, we're tired of playing with those women in the mines. One day, let's go to the brothel in town and have some fun!"

"When you said that, I got so angry. Don't wait any longer. Let's go tomorrow."

"Is this okay? Big Brother asked us to go up the mountain to look for someone, and we haven't found him yet. If Big Brother knew we went to a brothel, we'd probably get our butts beaten to a pulp."

"You idiot, if you didn't tell me and I didn't tell you, who would have known we went to the brothel? It's such a big mountain, how could you walk around it in ten days or half a month?"

"Second brother is right. We will go down the mountain at dawn tomorrow. By nightfall, we can hug a fragrant beauty and sleep on a soft bed. It's much better than this hard stone bed."

"Stop talking! I'm feeling really uncomfortable here. I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Hahaha...haha..."

Obscene laughter came from the cave.

Walking in the mountains and forests at night, the sky is filled with stars.

Mu Qingcheng raised her head to admire the night sky, which was a beautiful sight that modern people rarely see.

She took out two durian cakes and gave them to Yun Qing. She discovered that Yun Qing didn't like sweets. She thought the best chocolate had been given to Yun Qing, and his expression was indescribable. He actually liked the durian cakes. He was really a very strange person.

The two of them ate a few snacks while hurrying on their way. Mu Qingcheng was afraid that Aniu couldn't see the road, so she turned on the flashlight to light the way for Aniu.

Yun Qing felt a bright light in front of him and asked Mu Qingcheng what it was. Mu Qingcheng lied to him and said that it was dark and she had lit an oil lamp for A Niu.

Oil lamp! Humph! Did this girl really think he was blind? He could only see with his eyes, but he knew it very well in his heart. Such a bright light could never be emitted by an oil lamp.

So, what exactly is it? He was very curious, but he felt that Mu Qingcheng was wary of him, so he didn't want to explore her secrets. He hoped that one day she would willingly open her heart to him. Let's take it slowly!

The oxen swayed slowly down the mountain until the moon reached its zenith, and they finally reached a flat road. On either side of the road were dark tree shadows and half-man-high weeds. If it weren't for the flashlight, they could easily have turned into a ditch.

Mu Qingcheng was almost falling asleep while swaying on the oxcart. Yun Qing knew she was very sleepy, but he couldn't speak to her to relieve her sleepiness. He could only watch out to prevent her from falling.

After walking for another two incense sticks of time, the ox cart arrived at a field.

Yun Qing slowly stopped the oxcart. He couldn't see, but he could sense a difference between the wind here and the wind on the mountain. The mountain wind was cold, but here it carried the fragrance of earth and grass, and was much softer. They finally reached the foot of the mountain. There must be a village ahead. His sixth sense was very sensitive, and he could sense the presence of people.

Mu Qingcheng opened her eyes dazedly and looked around. The dark night sky and the fields had merged into one, and she could see nothing else.

"Yunqing, this road doesn't seem to be the road I took to go up the mountain."

She remembered very clearly that after she left the village, she first passed through a field, then turned into a valley, and then entered a dense forest.

We have reached the fields here, but there are no valleys or dense forests to be seen.

Yun Qing wrote in the dark and showed it to Mu Qingcheng. Mu Qingcheng shone a flashlight on it and saw that it was written.

"We're taking another road down the mountain. I wonder where it leads? Put away your oil lamp. There's a village ahead. Don't let anyone see us. From now on, tell others that we're coming from Yunzhou Luocheng to look for our relatives."

Yun Qing didn't know where this was, so he said he was from Yunzhou. Yunzhou was located in the center of the Great Qi State, with convenient transportation and was close to everywhere.
