Chapter 45 Lianshan County

Zhou Lin and the others put all the pine branches on the bullock cart. It looked like a lot, but it was not heavy.

Zhou Yue walked over with a rabbit and a pheasant, and saw that Qian Guilan had already prepared a meal, "Mom, I caught a pheasant and a rabbit, let's save them for dinner!"

Qian Guilan saw that her daughter was holding a prey in one hand, and her walking posture was extremely domineering. "Okay, let's eat at night! Put them in the basket on the bullock cart, so as not to run away, wash your hands and come over to eat!" She was used to Zhou Yue's hunting skills.

"Okay!" Zhou Yue put the chicken and rabbit in the basket, closed the lid, washed her hands and went to eat.

Lunch was radish soup and kimchi, served with steamed buns, and the family was very satisfied.

An hour's rest time came, and everyone started to set off. "After passing this mountain road, Lianshan County is ahead. The mountains in Lianshan County are relatively dense. We still need to bypass these mountains to go south." Zhou Jiacheng said to said the family.

Zhou Yue recalled the marks on the map. Indeed, this place was marked on the map. With the winding route on the map, the road ahead should be difficult to walk.But if you want to go south, you have to go this way.

"Father, isn't there an easy path over there?" Zhou Yue asked. It may not be the only path on her map. What if the locals know a better path?
"Whether there is, I don't know. We don't have a map, so we can only go south according to the direction. When we get to Lianshan County, let's see if we can ask someone." Zhou Jiacheng said, he was not familiar with this place, thinking Then ask the local people.

Zhou Yue nodded, this is indeed a method. "We can enter the county seat of Lianshan County. My uncle originally said that he would buy another ox cart."

Qian Ruiping's family had an ox cart. Except for Mrs. Huo who had been sitting in the cart, everyone else got on the cart in turn, and changed after a short rest.

After all, there are things loaded on the bullock cart, so there can't be too many people on it.

"Okay, let's go into the county town and ask for directions." After Zhou Jiacheng finished speaking, he went to tell the village chief that after entering the county town, if the villagers have something to buy, they can also add some.Everyone used up all the cloth for the tent yesterday, and it is estimated that someone needs to buy some more.

After hearing this, the village chief also agreed with his idea. When fleeing from famine, many people were in a hurry and did not know and had no time to prepare things. After traveling all day yesterday, it is estimated that many families knew what they were missing.

After walking for more than an hour, I saw the county gate of Lianshan County. Lianshan County is a small county because there are more mountains here, less cultivated land, and a small permanent population. It is not as big as Zeshan County.

There are no official gatekeepers at the county gate, which is strange. Generally speaking, each city gate should be equipped with at least two gatekeepers. Why is there not one in this county?

Zhou Jiacheng noticed this strange phenomenon, stopped the ox cart, and walked towards the village chief.

"Village chief, I feel something is wrong. There is no one guarding the county gate in front." Zhou Jiacheng told the village chief about the strangeness.

"No one is on duty? Is this strange? Are you tired and taking a rest?" The village chief didn't know much about this kind of thing.

"The city gate is a very important place. It cannot be left unattended. Even if the person on duty has something to do, someone will be found to replace it. It cannot be left empty." Zhou Jiacheng explained the importance of guarding the city gate.

At this moment, Zhou Yue poked her head out of the ox cart to see Zhou Jiacheng talking with the village head, so she stood on the ox cart and looked towards Lianshan County.

Looking at it, she also found something strange. There was no one on duty at the city gate, and there was a gap in the city gate. During the time she watched, no one came in or out. Something happened in this county!
Zhou Yue immediately jumped off the bullock cart and walked to Zhou Jiacheng's side, "Father, something happened in Lianshan County!"

"Ah? Something happened? How did you know?" Before Zhou Jiacheng could say anything, the village chief asked first. Just now he was telling Zhou Jiacheng about the strange thing about the unmanned gate of Lianshan County. Zhou Yue came over and said something happened. .

"It's impossible for the city gate to be unattended. Also, after observing for a while, no one enters or exits the city gate. This is a county town. How could it be possible that no one enters or exits in broad daylight? So something must have happened inside, and there may be danger." Zhou Yue analyzed.

After listening to the village chief, he felt that what he said made sense. It is impossible for a county to be deserted. "Then, shall we still go in?"

"It's better not to go in, just to be safe." Zhou Jiacheng said.

"Father, you guys wait here, I'll go and have a look, we'll go in if there's no danger." Zhou Yue said, she wanted to see what happened so that she could know the way ahead.

"No, it's too dangerous! You can't go! At worst, we can avoid this place and just walk a little longer." Zhou Jiacheng did not agree with Zhou Yue to take risks.

"Dad, have you forgotten my skills? I've killed a tiger before. Don't worry, I'll bring my bow and arrows. It'll be fine!" Zhou Yue comforted Zhou Jiacheng. She has both force and space, and her safety is absolutely guaranteed. .

Zhou Jiacheng was still hesitant, but seeing the determined look on Zhou Yue's face, he knew that she was determined. This child was good at everything, but he had too many ideas, and it was difficult to persuade him once he made up his mind.

"Okay, please be safe, we'll be waiting for you." Zhou Jiacheng compromised.

"Don't worry, your daughter is amazing!" Zhou Yue patted her chest, she was wearing men's clothes now, like a high-spirited teenager.

After Zhouyue left, the village chief came to his senses, "This, this, Jiacheng, your Yueyue said that she killed a tiger. Yes, is it the tiger in the mountain?" He stuttered in shock .

"Hey, it's a tiger in the mountains. I was afraid to scare everyone, and it was dark again, so I didn't disturb the villagers." Zhou Jiacheng said the situation lightly.

The village chief's eyes widened when he received the accurate reply. He was so surprised that his little girl had not been good enough at catching fish and rabbits in the past two days, but she actually killed a tiger!

No wonder the Zhou family has gained a lot of weight these days. With such a powerful daughter, they probably eat meat every day!It is estimated that the three sons of their family can go to school, which is also related to this girl.

The village chief looked at Zhou Jiacheng with a look in his eyes that said, "How could you have such a powerful daughter?" Zhou Jiacheng was speechless. He might have accumulated a lot of virtue in his previous life.

Zhou Yue walked towards the gate of Lianshan County by herself. The place where they stopped was not close to the gate. She walked for a quarter of an hour before reaching the gate.

Observing the city gate closely, Zhou Yue found that there were traces of fighting on the city gate. The marks on the gate were of different shades and styles. They were not attacked with the same weapon.

Zhou Yue pushed open the city gate, and the goal she entered was a messy street.The stalls on both sides of the road were damaged, and bamboo baskets, carts, and various damaged pieces of wood were scattered on the main road.

There are still some dried blood stains on the ground and in the corners, showing a dark red color.It looks like there was a fight here.

 Lu: Thanks to my brothers and sisters for the rewards, let’s survive another day~
