Qingqiu is difficult

The wind blew gently, and Li Shubai looked at the broken flowers all over the mountains and fields. He walked on the hillside with a wild flower stem in his mouth, riding on the breeze.

There are several families not far away who are working in the fields at the moment. It is almost noon, and the women and children who have come to deliver meals are busy, as if to the beat of drums, carrying burdens.

In the village not far away, the twisting smoke from the cooking pots corresponds to the old poplar trees at the entrance of the village, forming a quiet and peaceful meticulous painting.

Three years have passed, and he has been wandering in the Moon Country for three years, but there has never been a place that can make him feel so at ease.

At this time, Li Shubai had grown a green beard, and he had long lost his youthful spirit. During the long journey of wandering, his eyes became more and more tranquil and peaceful.

He decided to stay in this place for a while.

In three years, Nasen, the king of the Moon Kingdom, and his wife had a son and a daughter, living a happy life. The Qingqiu clan leader fell seriously ill and died. The new clan leader was said to be extremely handsome, but he wore a mask for a long time and never showed his true face. The Chu State in the south has experienced many riots in recent years, but fortunately the Yue State has strong soldiers and horses, so there has been no turmoil for the time being.

The Yue Kingdom is warlike and good at fighting. Over the years, it has repeatedly tried to invade Qingqiu. However, the lifeline of food is controlled by Qingqiu, and there are many intermarriages between the two clans. They have become a family early on. Over time, they have also lost their guard against Qingqiu. Greedy heart.

For a time, the world became a three-legged situation of Yue, Qingqiu, and Chu. In the past, many Han people could not find a place to show their ambitions in Yue Kingdom, so a large number of them flocked to Qingqiu and started business. Their lives were comfortable and happy. Some people in Jingguo even made a lot of achievements. This achievement really makes people marvel at the philosophy that our talents must be useful.

"Shu Bai! Shu Bai!" The young man called from behind, and Li Shubai's brisk steps fell heavily at this moment.

Li Shubai held the flower stem in his mouth and turned around with his arms folded. He saw a figure slowly running towards him in the distance, at the junction of heaven and earth. The man was holding a big bundle, with many sword hilts exposed outside the bundle. He ran He looks funny, not like a martial arts practitioner, but like a street vendor selling sesame seeds.

Speaking of sesame cakes, the man ran and touched something in his arms. Just when Li Shubai put his hands on his hips and wanted to scold him, he suddenly took out two sesame cakes and said with a swishy smile:

"Shu Bai! Why don't you wait for me? I'm going to buy sesame seeds for you! You said you've walked such a long way and you don't know how to take a break and have something to eat!"

After taking the sesame seed cake, Li Shubai swallowed the words he wanted to curse into his stomach. He took a mouthful of sesame seed cake, chewed two mouthfuls, and pointed to the horizon:

"Little Ruan Dan, have you seen that village in the distance? Let me tell you, based on my many years of experience in traveling around the world, there are definitely peerless masters living in that village!"

Ruan Er craned his neck to look at the village, frowned and looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. He just held a bag of weapons, shook his head and said:

"Is it possible for a master to see the master's cloud energy at a glance?"

"Of course." Li Shubai devoured the sesame cake in two mouthfuls, patted the grease residue on his hands, and walked toward the village in a swaggering manner.

In fact, there is no sign of a master. He just saw that there were crops growing in the fields, and when he saw the people who came to the fields to deliver food, they all brought some rice, white flour, and steamed buns with oily flowers. He thought that there must be a lot of oil and water in this village. Young Master, I am really tired after this experience. Leaving this kid behind him here does not mean he has no conscience.

Ruan Er held the sesame cake in his mouth, hugged his weapon baggage tightly with both hands, and hurriedly followed. After passing several rice fields, Li Shubai sighed in his heart that the grain was grown so well, and thought to himself: This person is either a fool, or he must have something to do with Qingqiu. Otherwise, how could he see such good growth in the land of the Moon Country? of crops?

He walked over, saluted the eldest brother who was eating, and asked respectfully:

"Brother, may I ask what kind of village this is? There are crops that are growing so well. It's really different from the situation in the Moon Kingdom!"

The man glanced at the two of them warily. When the people around him heard the sound, they unconsciously turned their heads to look this way. The man's face froze, and then he smiled and said:

"Looking at the clothes the two little brothers are wearing, they look like knights. You two are staying well in the Moon Kingdom. How did you end up here with us?"

Li Shubai immediately stood up straight: "Ahem, since eldest brother said he was a ranger, he naturally wandered here aimlessly!"

He pretended to glance aimlessly, but in fact he carefully observed the faces of the people around him and this man. He saw that all of these people had flat faces, soft facial lines, and bright black pupils. Even the clothes they wore were from Xingguo for more than ten years. Old style, he couldn't help but understand most of it, and then he pretended to be distressed and said:

"My eldest brother doesn't know. My younger brother and I lost all our relatives after the war. As a Jingren, we are really ashamed. We can't make any serious living, so we have to be a ranger and occasionally catch a few gangsters to make a living!" "

As soon as he heard that it was Jingren, the vigilance in the man's eyes suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a feeling of sympathy and sorrow. He threw the hoe in his hand into the ground, and then sighed:

"That's right! Who would want to be a ranger if he has connections!"

The woman who had been silent for a long time spoke now: "Since you are like this, little brothers, you have been walking for a long time and are tired, so why not take a drink of water first!"

After that, the woman took two empty bowls from the basket, rinsed them with water, wiped them clean with a cloth, and then filled two bowls of water and handed them over.

Li Shubai and Ruan Er had been thirsty for a long time, so they did not shirk their enthusiasm. After thanking each other repeatedly, they raised their bowls and drank two large bowls. Not even a drop was left.

The woman smiled and said: "You two young heroes are tired. This village is far away from the next village. It's getting late today. If you want to go to the next village, why not rest here today and wait for the morning tomorrow?" It’s best to start again.”

Li Shubai applauded in his heart, this was exactly what he wanted! He immediately handed the bowl respectfully, bowed and said:

"So, I can only thank my sister-in-law! We won't live in vain, Ruan Dan..."

But before he finished speaking, his mind felt heavy and his vision began to blur.

"Ruan..." His tongue was already numb and knotted. Li Shubai was a little confused about what was going on. He shook his head and opened his eyes hard but it didn't get better. He turned his head to look at Ruan Er and saw a black shadow flashing. Afterwards, Ruan Er didn't even say a word and just plunged into the ground firmly.

Okay, today, I encountered the Mongolian sweat medicine! Don't tell me, it's true that people in this village are drugged!

Li Shubai saw that the sky and the earth had turned upside down. The next second, his eyes were filled with blue sky and white clouds. He had a close contact with the earth, but he could not feel any pain in his whole body.

After a while, the woman poked Li Shubai with a tree stick. Seeing that he didn't respond, she complained to the man and said:

"What's wrong with Jingren? The most disgusting person in the world is Jingren who is living a good life! These two people carry so many things with them, they must either be punished on the spot, or you can carry them to the boss!" (End of chapter)
