After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister - Chapter 304
Everyone looked at this devastating scene, their faces turned pale, and the natural disasters of nature were terrible.
Mu Wanqing took a deep breath, picked up her backpack, put on a raincoat, tied a dagger around her waist, tied her sleeves and arrows, said calmly, “Get ready. Don’t be afraid, I believe that man will conquer the sky, and I believe even more that I am blessed with the sky, and I won’t fall here.”
She was too calm, and her tone was firm, which greatly comforted the people around her.
She is the backbone of everyone, and her attitude naturally affects them.
The ground under your feet began to shake, and everyone’s expressions changed.
Mu Wanqing gritted her teeth, “Let’s go.”
Ada carried her and ran out. The others followed closely and walked out of the cave where they had been hiding for three days. Can’t tell the difference between east and west.
Hail-like raindrops fell on her body, causing faint pain, and she couldn’t care about anything else, she quickly ran to both sides, escaping from the landslide.
Everyone is strong in martial arts, quick in reaction, and fast in running.
There was only one thought in my head. The farther you run, the better.
I don’t know how long I ran, and finally escaped the mud and stone that followed.
But she didn’t know where she followed, and she also ran away. Mu Wanqing only had Ah Da and Ah Yi by her side.
The rain is still falling, but much less.
Everyone was covered in mud and their faces were dirty, Ah Yi looked around, “Master, what should I do now?”
Mu Wanqing took out the beef jerky from her bag and distributed it to everyone, “Put your stomach first, and then find out if there is a cave to hide from the rain, others…let’s see luck.”
There is no way to find someone, and no contact information.
Mu Wanqing nibbled on the beef jerky, turned out the compass to check, and glanced at her watch, it was 4:35 in the morning?
This night has been exhausting.
She has to go back and find out who did the good thing, and she has to pay a heavy price.
“Master, master.” Ah Da’s excited voice came from a distance, “There is a family here.”
Mu Wanqing was shocked, and dragged Ah Yi to walk over quickly.
Crossing the mountain, it is a small mountain village with smoke rising from cooking. “Come on, let’s go take a look.”
The three of them supported each other and went down. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk.
The small mountain village looked close, but it took more than an hour to reach the village.
At this moment, the villagers all got up, and when they saw Mu Wanqing’s three clay figurines, they were startled, and they were a little defensive. “Who are you?”
Mu Wanqing smeared her face, “We are drug dealers, we wanted to go into the mountains to buy medicinal materials from the mountain people, but we encountered a mudslide…”
She sighed softly, “We broke into your village by mistake, please stay for a few days and leave when the situation stabilizes.”
Being chased and killed all the way, she was very defensive, and she deliberately took precautions and made up a decent identity.
She deliberately suppressed her momentum and looked very delicate.
The villagers couldn’t believe it, “Drug dealer? You are a woman.”
Mu Wanqing’s voice was soft, “Now women can take the imperial examinations to become officials, there are female teachers, doctors, and technicians. What is a female drug dealer?”
The villagers suspected that there was something wrong with their ears, “What? A woman is an official? How is this possible?”
Mu Wanqing was even more shocked than they were, “Uh, you don’t know about such a big news? It was several years ago. The court stipulated that girls can study for free.”
The villagers were stunned. It was not easy for them to go out, so they basically did not leave the village and did not know the outside world. It can be said to be isolated from the world.
The only person who goes out in the village is the village chief, and it is only twice a year.
The village chief hurried over after hearing the news and asked about it. Seeing that none of the three of them looked like bad people, and the answers were fluent, he took them to his home for a while.
The village chief’s house is also a shabby mud-grass house, with only three rooms and a hall, and a dozen people live in it.
The village chief looked on curiously and talked in a low voice, but did not dare to approach.
Mu Wanqing glanced at Ah Da, who immediately took out a piece of silver, “Village Chief, this is our accommodation fee.”
The village head is quite simple and honest, and he waved his hands again and again, saying that he didn’t want money.
Ah Da insisted on it for a long time before he accepted it, turned around and asked Jia Xiao to clean up a clean room and come out to boil hot water to kill chickens to entertain the distinguished guests.
Mu Wanqing ate a large bowl of chicken noodle soup, ate a few pieces of chicken, took a hot bath, and fell asleep when she couldn’t hold back any longer.
Adaa guards in turn, no matter how careful you are in an unfamiliar place.
Mu Wanqing slept for two days and two nights before waking up, her head swollen, and she looked around at a loss.
The mottled earth wall, the interior is narrow and dim, and the body is hard.
She slowly sat up, and Ah Yi who was standing beside her woke up, “Master, you are awake, you are hungry, I will give you something to eat.”
Mu Wanqing rubbed her sore forehead, “Has the rain stopped?”
“Stopped.”
The situation is unknown, she will not run around, just stay here quietly, waiting for the arrival of the rescuers.
The emperor should have learned the news and will send someone over.
The problem is that it is ten days away from the capital.
What she should consider is how to avoid the killer and get on the line with the rescuers?
Perhaps these villagers can help.
She pondered for a while, and already had an idea in her mind.
She looked around, and a few little heads hid in the dark to peek at her, she beckoned, “Come here and give you some candy.”
Several children were timid, but when they heard there was candy, they ran over immediately.
Mu Wanqing distributed a toffee to each child. The children ate the sweet candy and squinted their eyes happily. This candy is delicious.
“Do you have a school in your village? Do you go to school? How do you live at home?”
After a while, Mu Wanqing got everything she wanted to know from the child’s mouth.
The village is a self-sufficient primitive farming method. It grows coarse grains and raises some chickens and ducks.
Children don’t go to school, they run wild all over the mountains.
“I want to eat some mountain delicacies such as mushrooms, bamboo fungus, oyster mushrooms, mushrooms, pine nuts, chestnuts, etc. If you are willing to help me pick them, I will exchange toffee with you, how about ?”
The children are idle and idle, of course.
“By the way, if you meet a stranger and ask you, don’t mention me.”
“Good Le.” The kids don’t get it, but what does it matter? It doesn’t matter, it’s the toffee that matters!
After a while, he ran away with friends and friends.
The village is very small, so the whole village will know when there is wind and soft grass.
The village chief came with a group of villagers, “Miss Qing, tell the child, can you exchange mountain delicacy for toffee?”
Mu Wanqing said generously, “Yes, I also collect medicinal materials. If you have old ginseng, you can sell it to me, and the price is easy to negotiate.” The villagers were excited, “Really Is it? How much can a thirty-year-old ginseng sell for?”
They are really poor, no matter how hard they work, they can’t get enough.
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, “One hundred taels, if the old mountain ginseng is more than 100 years old, it can be sold for thousands of taels.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up. They asked the villagers to take them out to exchange for some daily necessities, which were worthless.
Many people have never seen silver.
The village head was very shocked. He is an honest man and is not good at dealing with people. “So expensive? Are you right?”
In just a few words, Mu Wanqing won the trust of these people.
“That’s right, my family’s pharmacist knows the price best. Good ginseng is sent to the capital for the dignitaries to use. They have money.”
A villager jumped up excitedly, “I have it at home, I’ll show it to you.”
He came back shortly after, Mu Wanqing took a look, the preservation was quite complete, “This mountain ginseng is good, I can give you thirty taels, do you want a silver ticket or want to change your life supplies?”
“Do you have any?” The villagers must need daily necessities, and it is not easy to use money in the village.
“Not yet.” Mu Wanqing said with a smile, “However, at the foot of the mountain, rice, noodles, oil, salt, sugar, cloth, quilt, and everything are available. It’s a matter of a word.”
“What can I exchange for a tael of silver?” They are used to bartering.
Mu Wanqing said without hesitation, “It can be exchanged for a pair of cotton cloth and fifty catties of grain.”
The villagers screamed, the village chief was suspicious of life, he was slaughtered by the people at the foot of the mountain, treacherous people at the foot of the mountain.
“What did you say? You’re not kidding.”
“No, the cotton cloth introduced by Chao Ting is sweat-absorbent, warm and wear-resistant, and it is very comfortable to wear.” Mu Wanqing pointed to Ah Yi beside her, “Well, it is what she is wearing. “
The village woman dressed in burlap dared to touch the fabric, and she fell in love with it, “This material is very soft and comfortable, I have never seen it so good, but why is it so cheap ?”
Faced with the doubts of the villagers, Ah Yi was unhappy, “This is a new fabric developed by the Qingping County Lord, to minimize profits, and strive to make every commoner wear it.”
“There are such nice people?”
Ayi steals a glance at Yu’s master, with a proud look on his face, “Of course, she is amazing, and she also grows several thousand kilograms of potatoes per mu, which can be eaten as a staple food, and Everyone likes it when she can eat it as a dish, she makes the poor people have enough to eat, and the people love her very much.”
Everyone is stunned, how good is the outside world?
“The food you just said was potatoes, right?”
Mu Wanqing’s tone was kind and natural, which made people involuntarily trust her, “Yes, if you want to change, I can arrange it.”
The village chief has a shadow on the people under the mountain, “How to change this? Shall we follow you down the mountain?”
Mu Wanqing stroked her forehead and sighed, “The mountain road is rugged, the three of us, the master and the servant, have been drenched in the rain again, and our heads are dizzy. There is a Mu Songtang Pharmacy in the city. It was opened by my family, you help me deliver a letter, and also help me get some medicines.”
Mu Songtang is the medicine hall she and Song Taiyi jointly opened, and ordinary people don’t know it.
“At the same time, I’ll let you send the daily necessities you need up the mountain, or you can pick it up yourself, is that possible?”
Everyone is very enthusiastic, and the villagers can’t match everyone’s enthusiasm, “I see it.”
“That’s it, what do you need, I’ll help you make a list, then just take this list and replace it with old ginseng, everyone will save trouble.”
The villagers are very positive, “I want a few thick quilts and padded clothes. My mother always says it’s cold at night.”
“Yes, there is a six-pound thick quilt, which is very warm on the body, and a few thick cotton-padded clothes, and you will not be afraid for a winter.”
When they heard this, everyone’s heart became more eager, and they wanted to go down the mountain immediately.
The corners of Mu Wanqing’s mouth twitched slightly, and it was done.
Her goals are too big, but who cares about these humble villagers? !
