“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 as if he was in a hurry.
Qin Yao walked out suspiciously, "I am, are you 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 you don't recognize the person, that person will not let him pass the note.
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and waved her hand, "No need, it's a trivial matter."
The dust was flying so much that Liu Ji almost choked to death when he entered the hospital.
There were still barriers to communication between the two, but once the copper coins were taken out, all communication became smoother.
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!"
Take the coins and snacks and leave happily.
But she didn't allow him to ask, so he could only warn: "Madam, be careful." Qin Yao nodded and told him, "Take care of the family."
The task is completed, and the child turns around and prepares to leave.
The cowherd boy handed a rolled up note in his hand to Qin Yao and said, "Someone asked me to hand this to you."
Liu Ji thought for a moment and said, "Qingshui Town is to the west of Kaiyang County."
This place is a fake village.
The last time he handled the transfer contract for the homestead in the village for Song Zhang, Qin Yao had seen his handwriting, which was exactly the same as the one on this note.
The cowherd boy shook his head and said, "I don't know. The man just said that you will understand after seeing the thing, Mrs. Qin."
There is an unclear address written on it: Xinghua Village, Qingshui Town.
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.
The weather is good today. When we arrived in Qingshui Town, it was mid-afternoon, when the sun was at its most abundant.
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.
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.
"Awang, help me bring the horse out and put on the saddle." Qin Yao ordered outside the house.
Qin Yao rolled her eyes at him, "I know why I don't need to ask you!"
He was actually worried that this fierce woman who could destroy a villa with one punch would be in danger.
Liu Ji stood on the courtyard dam, watching the figure disappear at the mountain col. He raised his hand and patted his chest lightly, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Qin Yao found a bun seller in the town, bought two meals to take with her, filled her stomach in the town, and rushed towards Yuhuashan.
It was Awang who 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."
Qin Yao raised the corner of her mouth and laughed at herself. She was not a kind person.
Awang frowned slightly, okay, let's pretend he didn't say that.
Qin Yao nodded and raised her hand to signal him not to ask. It was not good to know too much. She told Liu Fei to go home and pack his bags quickly when he returned to the house.
Qin Yao repeated Xinghua Village several times before the other party showed a look of sudden realization and raised her hand to point to the small mountain pass in the north of the village.
There is a line of reminder at the end: This person is very important. If something unexpected happens, please protect his life.
“I want to go out.” Qin Yao said to these people at home.
"Who is it?" Qin Yao asked while curiously taking the crumpled piece of paper and not rushing to open it.
She is not sure when she will come back.
Remembering the address she just asked for, she asked tentatively: "That Xinghua Village?"
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.
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.
Qin Yao is very familiar with Yuhua Mountain. The former base of the horse bandits was in Yuhua Mountain.
Qin Yao found a young man who seemed quite courageous and asked how to get to Xinghua Village.
She and Carpenter Liu have visited many villages, large and small, in Kaiyang County, but they have never been to Xinghua Village.
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!"
After saying 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, you can take this snack with you on the way."
After saying that, without looking back, he grabbed the horse's belly and galloped away.
It may be one or two days, or it may be five or six days.
Is your home originally in Xinghua Village, or did you come to this remote place to hide?
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.
She said it was a trivial matter, so it was nothing to worry about.
This is going to do something big!
Who is this Yueniang?
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Liu Ji himself was shocked by the worry in his heart.
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?"
He lowered his head and unfolded the ball of paper in his hand. The two lines of regular script on it were actually Song Zhang's handwriting.
The cowherd boy was overjoyed and quickly thanked her and said, "Ms. Qin, you are such a kind person!"
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.
There is another name that you can tell at a glance is not her real name: Yueniang.
Liu Ji stood up nervously and asked, "Where are you going?"
Qin Yao stood at the mountain pass and thought for less than a minute, then decisively led the horse back to Falaya, found the young man who had just given the directions, and asked him to help look after his horse for a fee.
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.
Qin Yao stopped him, "Wait a minute."
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.
Turn around, pick up the broom by the door, and sweep the floor with a bang.
Liu Fei shook his head to express his ignorance.
The villagers of Jiaya Village took away Qin Yao's horse. She carried her luggage and a long knife wrapped in a strip of cloth and walked into the mountain pass.
Jiaya is a pseudonym in a local dialect, and it is so niche that no one has ever heard of it.
As for Xinghua Village, sorry, he has never heard of it. “Is there such a village in our county?”
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 the fake village.
Awang appeared behind Liu Ji at some point and said in a calm tone: "Sir, my wife is much more powerful than you think."
There is no harm without comparison. Now looking at Liujia Village, 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 surrounded by deserted people. It is more than half a day's ride on horseback from the nearest Qingshui Town. If you walk, you may have to walk for seven or eight hours.
