"Is Madam Qin at home?"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

The cowherd boy from Xiahe Village was looking cautiously outside the courtyard, holding something in his hand, looking very nervous.

Qin Yao walked out suspiciously, "I am, you are looking for me?"

The cowherd boy said, "I recognize you."

Mrs. Qin often goes to Xiahe Village. Her father and mother work in a stationery factory, and the cowherd boy has met Qin Yao.

If he didn't recognize the person, that person wouldn't let him pass the note.

The cowherd boy handed a rolled up note in his hand to Qin Yao and said, "Someone asked me to hand this to you."

"Who is it?" Qin Yao asked while curiously taking the crumpled piece of paper and not rushing to open it.

The cowherd boy shook his head, "I don't know him. The man just said that you will understand after seeing the thing, Madam Qin."

The task completed, the child turned around and prepared to leave.

Qin Yao stopped him, "Wait a minute."

After that, he strode back to the house, took five copper coins and a small bag of uneaten mung bean cakes and handed them to him, "Thank you, take this snack with you to eat on the way."

The cowherd boy was overjoyed and quickly thanked her and said, "Ms. Qin, you are such a kind person!"

Take the coins and snacks and leave happily.

Qin Yao raised the corner of her mouth and laughed at herself. She was not a kind person.

He lowered his head and unfolded the ball of paper in his hand. The two lines of small regular script on it were actually Song Zhang's handwriting.

When she handled the transfer contract for the village homestead for Song Zhang last time, Qin Yao had seen his handwriting, which was exactly the same as the one on this note.

There was an unclear address written on it: Xinghua Village, Qingshui Town.

There is also a name that is obviously not her real name at a glance: Yueniang.

There is also a line of reminder at the end: This person is very important. If something unexpected happens, please protect his life.

The task was coming. Qin Yao let out a breath, took the note to the main room, and asked the two Liu Ji brothers in the room, "Where is Xinghua Village in Qingshui Town?"

She and Carpenter Liu had visited many villages, large and small, in Kaiyang County, but they had never been to Xinghua Village.

Liu Fei shook his head to express his ignorance.

Liu Ji thought for a moment, "Qingshui Town is to the west of Kaiyang County."

As for Xinghua Village, sorry, he has never heard of it. “Is there such a village in our county?”

Qin Yao rolled her eyes at him, "I know why I don't need to ask you!"

However, Awang stood up and said: "To the west of Yuhua Mountain, along the river, we have to pass through a village called Jiaya. Asking the people in that village should know the specific route to Xinghua Village."

Jiaya is a pseudonym in a local dialect, and it is so niche that no one has ever heard of it.

But Qin Yao was very familiar with Yuhua Mountain. The former nest of the horse bandits was in this Yuhua Mountain.

"I want to go out." Qin Yao said to these people at home.

Liu Ji stood up nervously and asked, "Where are you going?"

Thinking of the address she just asked about, she tentatively asked, "That Xinghua Village?"

Qin Yao nodded and raised her hand to signal him to stop asking. It was not good to know too much, so she asked Liu Fei to go home and pack his bags quickly when he returned home.

"Awang, help me bring the horse out and put on the saddle." Qin Yao ordered outside the house.

Awang was more sensible and never asked why. He just said yes and immediately went to the livestock shed to get the horse, saddled it for Qin Yao and took it to the gate to wait.

Liu Ji followed Qin Yao outside the house and saw that she not only changed into lightweight trousers but also took a knife, and her heart skipped a beat.

This is going to do something big!

But she didn't allow him to ask, so he could only tell her, "Madam, be careful." Qin Yao nodded and told him, "Take care of the family."

She wasn't sure when she would come back.

It might be one or two days, it might be five or six days.

There are Yun Niang, Liu Bai, Liu Zhong and others in the factory, so there won't be any problems in just a few days.

Liu Ji responded and escorted her all the way to the gate. Seeing her getting on her horse to leave, he hurriedly shouted: "Why don't you take Awang with you!"

When the words came out, Liu Ji himself was shocked by the worry in his heart.

He was actually worried that this fierce woman who could destroy a villa with one punch would be in danger.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, raised her hand and waved, "No need, it's a trivial matter."

After that, without looking back, he grabbed the horse's belly and galloped away.

Liu Ji stood on the courtyard dam, watching the figure disappear into the mountain col. He raised his hand to pat his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

She said it was a trivial matter, so it was nothing to worry about.

Awang appeared behind Liu Ji at some unknown time and said in a calm tone: "Master, my wife is much more powerful than you think."

Liu Ji was startled by his sudden appearance. After reacting, he pointed at Awang's nose angrily and said, "Of course I know this, and you still need to tell me!"

Awang frowned slightly, okay, pretend he didn't say that.

Turn around, pick up the broom by the door, and sweep the floor with a bang.

The dust was so high that Liu Ji almost choked to death when he entered the hospital.

The two enemies were still competing secretly. Qin Yao, on the other hand, galloped out of Jinshi Town and embarked on the path to Qingshui Town.

The weather was good today. When we arrived in Qingshui Town, it was mid-afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest.

Qin Yao found a bun seller in the town and bought two meals to take with her. After filling her stomach in the town, she rushed towards Yuhua Mountain.

From time to time on the road, I met villagers traveling nearby. Qin Yao walked along and asked questions. After learning the specific location of Jiaya Village, he followed the river on the back of Yuhua Mountain until dusk when he saw a small village with only a dozen households.

This place is the fake village.

It was getting late, and the farmers who were busy in the fields were finishing their work and getting ready to go home. When they saw Qin Yao, a strange face, their eyes were alert and curious.

Qin Yao found a young man who looked very courageous and asked how to get to Xinghua Village.

The young man didn't seem to understand what she said. He spoke in a local dialect and asked her what she was doing in Jiaya Village.

Qin Yao repeated Xinghua Village several times before the other party showed a look of sudden realization and raised her finger to point to the small mountain pass in the north of the village.

Qin Yao thanked him and rode his horse over. The road became narrower and narrower, so he had to dismount and lead the horse on foot.

After passing the mountain pass, there are several low mountains in front of us. There is no road for riding horses at all. The road is winding and rugged and very difficult to walk.

If the people from Jiaya Village hadn't firmly said that Xinghua Village was behind the mountain, Qin Yao wouldn't have believed that there was a village hidden here.

Who is this Yueniang?

Is your home originally in Xinghua Village, or did you come to this remote place to hide?

Qin Yao stood at the mountain pass and thought for less than a minute, then decisively led her horse back to Jiaya. She found the young man who had just given the directions and asked him to look after his horse for a fee.

There were still barriers to communication between the two, but once the copper coins were taken out, all communication became smoother.

The villagers of Jiaya Village took away Qin Yao's horse, and she walked into the mountain pass carrying her luggage and a long knife wrapped in a strip of cloth.

There is no harm without comparison. Now looking at Liujiacun, Qin Yao feels that her initial luck value is still very high.

If I had traveled to Xinghua Village at the beginning, I wouldn’t know how frustrating it would be.

There are no serious roads in this place, and it is deserted. The nearest town of Qingshui Town is half a day's ride on horseback. If you walk, you may have to walk for seven or eight hours.
