"We've arrived at Qingshan County!"
As the sound rang out, the strange beasts that looked like tigers and leopards made strange chirping sounds, and the white whiskers beside their noses trembled, shaking the snow in the mountains and forests to fall down, and their steps stopped.
Then, the entire convoy creaked in the snow and slowly stopped. Later, a figure jumped down from the front, and the sound of rustling footsteps on the snow was heard.
A figure respectfully bowed and reported to the largest and most exquisite carriage in the middle.
"Ancestor, we have arrived at Qingshan County."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old cough was heard from inside the carriage.
"Cough, cough."
After coughing, a sound like the sound of a broken wooden bellows came out.
"Green Bamboo."
The voice had a kind of deathly air of old age and was piercingly hoarse.
"exist."
A faint voice sounded.
Fang Qingzhu, who was sitting at the end of the team, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and then her slender figure appeared in the snow. She saluted the carriage as a junior, but her tone was light and distant.
"The ancestor is looking for me?"
"The ship you were talking about is right here?" The cough in the carriage became lighter, with a strange and oppressive tone.
Fang Qingzhu's clear eyes flashed and his lips were slightly pursed.
"Fang Qingzhu, the ancestor is asking you a question, and you are hesitating. This is really disrespectful. Don't make others feel like they owe you something."
At this moment, a sharp scolding voice rang out.
I saw a woman in gorgeous dress opening the curtain and showing her face behind the ancestor's carriage.
The other person was wearing a green skirt, had a pointed chin, narrow eyebrows, and looked quite strong.
And behind the opened curtain appeared the face of a middle-aged man. He glanced at Fang Qingzhu expressionlessly, frowned, but did not speak.
At this time, faces appeared behind the curtains of other carriages. There were men, women, old and young, all of them were dressed in luxurious clothes and had extraordinary aura. There were about ten of them.
These people either looked indifferent or as if they were watching a show.
Fang Qingzhu's willow-like eyebrows twitched slightly. She turned her head slightly, glanced at the woman who spoke chokingly, then glanced at the middle-aged man who was frowning behind the carriage, her expression did not change.
The woman is his sister, named Fang Mingyue!
The middle-aged man is her father, Fang Tangjing.
Fang Qingzhu has become accustomed to the attitudes of the two.
The whole family was like strangers, and the only story was that she was a motherless illegitimate daughter who was ostracized by her family everywhere.
As the saying goes, a small temple attracts powerful evil spirits, and a shallow water attracts many turtles.
Fang Qingzhu was tired of the Fang family. When she was trapped on the night boat, she asked the little squirrel to ask her family for help, but the little squirrel was beaten away and no one cared about her life or death. Now, the ancestor who supported the family is dying. After escaping death, he heard about her experience when she just returned to the Fang family, and suddenly he cared about her, a concubine who had been in the Fang family for many years.
Afterwards, Fang Qingzhu realized that the ancestor was concerned about the night boat that trapped her.
That ship seems to have a great history!
When the ancestor, whose time was approaching, heard about this, he seemed very concerned, as if there was a way on the ship that could prolong his life.
It happened that a great change happened in Shu, and the news spread to the heartland of the Central Plains, causing a stir. The news that Shu's fortune was revived and all kinds of rare treasures would appear spread among the people of the world, so the ancestor of the Fang family came here in person.
She didn't tell anyone else about what happened in Qingshan County.
But these people even took advantage of the little ones around her.
Faced with the ancestor's question, Fang Qingzhu knew that it was useless to hide it.
"To answer the question of the ancestor, yes!" "It's just that Qingzhu was trying to recall the last place where the ship appeared, but was interrupted by Sister Mingyue's scolding. I can't remember it clearly for a while. After all, this heavy snow has covered up many terrains. I hope the ancestor won't be angry."
Fang Qingzhu shifted his gaze to the carriage of the Fang family's ancestor and said so.
Fang Mingyue heard this and started scolding as usual.
"Well, you are clearly quibbling."
She has more to say.
All I heard was the old ancestor's cough coming from the carriage.
At the same time, Fang Mingyue heard her father Fang Tangjing's scolding voice from behind.
"Shut up!"
At this voice, Fang Mingyue, who was used to being domineering, changed her expression, and then quickly got out of the carriage, putting on a well-behaved face.
"The old ancestor blames Mingyue for being rude."
"Please punish me, ancestor."
The old man of the Fang family just spoke slowly, "We are all family, so let's talk nicely."
As he spoke, he turned his tone to Fang Qingzhu who was standing outside the carriage, "Qingzhu, since you can't remember it clearly for the time being, take your time, don't be in a hurry, first settle down in Qingshan County and slowly look for it."
As he finished speaking, the old man's words, which were full of meaning, were heard from the carriage.
"I heard that a great man emerged in Qingshan County. I still remember we heard about it when we entered Shu from Tianxiong Pass the day before yesterday. A Lieutenant General came out of this small place and shined in the demon front of Shu. He became a powerful warrior and is expected to become the next Demon Suppressor. I just don't know how the court sent a new one. I heard that there is a dispute between the two sides. However, I don't think highly of this young man. After all, this young man was promoted to Musashi not long ago. Even if the Demon Suppressor sent by the court has not reached my level, I am afraid he is not far from me. Even if they are all Musashi, the gap between them is unimaginable."
"However, it seems that Qingshan County is a place of great natural beauty. Haha, maybe it is also a blessed place for me!"
In the carriage, the ancestor of the Fang family spoke for a long time without coughing, and gave his evaluation of what he saw and heard at Tianxiong Pass.
Fang Qingzhu felt a little nervous after hearing this.
Hearing that person's name again, I felt dazed.
When she first saw that man on the night boat, a long spear fell from the sky, like a divine soldier, and brought them out of trouble.
Later, Chen Yuan broke through the barrier of heaven and fought with the demon, and then the other party became the General of the Central Army in Shu. She had witnessed that man walk out of Qingshan County and step onto a bigger stage.
After several months, Chen Yuan's name was heard again. He had already become famous in Shu and had established a great reputation in Shu. He had made rapid progress and became a great master of Musashi.
When Fang Qingzhu first heard it, she was shocked. During the time she spent with Chen Yuan, she knew that the other party was no ordinary person. However, she did not expect that the situation in Shu was changing so fast and the speed at which the other party rose was so alarming.
But after hearing the words of the old ancestor, I couldn't help but feel indignant and a little worried about the situation of this old man.
She had heard the rumors, too!
However, before her thoughts could drift away, a powerful cry of an alien beast sounded and pulled her back.
The convoy restarted, the wheels rolled, and they drove easily in the deserted mountains. The Fang family convoy was ready to enter Qingshan County.
"tengteng"
The muffled rumbling sound moved quickly through the forest, and soon a county town standing among the snow appeared at the foot of the mountain.
Outside the county town, a big river flows eastward!
At this time, in Qingshan County, at a corner of an alley next to Jiazi Lane.
A few night watchmen who had just finished their shift and laborers who had gotten up early to work were looking at the closed stall at the door.
"What happened to Old Wu?"
“There’s no stall today!”
During those years, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, the old man who always lit the fire and warmed up the wine in the early morning mist had not set up his stall for two days.
"No, what happened?"
"Look for it!" (End of this chapter)
