Chapter 5 Settlement
Pei Yan and his friends took a carriage outside the city to avoid being tracked. They passed through one village and changed carriages until they arrived at the village where Jile Mountain belonged, where they dared to rest assured and eat.
After a brief rest, the Leshan steward immediately prepared a fast horse for delivery the next day.
He originally wanted to take Yan Juan back to Jileshan naturally without explaining anything, but unexpectedly when he settled outside Xieyang City, she proposed to part ways??
He thought that these past few days of riding fast and being in his arms day and night were always half-hearted, but it seemed like there was nothing at all??
It's hard to find a warm, lovely, petite and exquisite baby to take care of. Are you going to leave him so soon?
He hasn't had enough hugs yet!
"Why does it have to be Xieyang City?" Pei Yan thought he could take her back to attract the attention of the old sect master.
No matter where you put such a cute and decent little baby, you will always look good!
His mother and aunts could not give birth to a daughter. Except for the maids and old ladies in the entire Jile Mountain, no newborn girls were seen. Girls were extremely rare.
"I don't want Xieyang City, I like that mountain." Yan Juan pointed to the lush forested hilltop in the distance.
She remembered the Guiwu Mountain outside Xieyang City in Yan Si's memory.
Because the land here is poor and water is not easy to obtain, no matter how hard you work, you will never harvest anything. The nearby farmers have their belts tightened several times, and there are many people selling their sons and daughters.
Later, after an earthquake, a barrier lake the size of Xieyang City accumulated on the mountain. No one knew about it. Not long after, it encountered a flood that had never happened in a century. Heavy rain fell continuously for fourteen days.
The barrier lake could not withstand the heavy rain and burst its banks late at night, washing away all the villages nearby. Thousands of people were sleeping in the lake, and no one was spared. Even the city of Xieyang was flooded by three feet and the people were in dire straits.
At first I just thought the name of the city was familiar, so I asked someone to find the history and geography of Xieyang City. I spent half a night reading it before I was sure it was consistent with my memory.
Jing'an Bo was originally a doctor in the household department, but he was later promoted to the second rank Zuo Shilang after he took over the disaster relief work.
After listening to Jing Anbo's explanation, Yan Si had nightmares for several days, and then had a high fever for several days. Later, the government invited the imperial doctor and Taoist priests to do some work before she recovered. The situation at that time was so miserable.
"The area around Guiwu Mountain is notoriously difficult for grass to grow. Do you like it?" Pei Yan said in a low tone at the end of Lao Gao's voice.
Pei Yan did not grow up to be twelve years in vain, but Jileshan did not give him a few good days.
As the highest mountain in Shikoku, Kyushu Island, Ji Leshan has always been the first to know about the world's major events. He may not be able to explain clearly the rich and poor places in Kyushu Island.
Xieyang City is only five days away from the capital. For officials who are sent to other places, Xieyang City is one of their first choices. They can complete their three-year terms here smoothly and wait for their return.
Report on work in Beijing.
"That's right!" Yan Yao nodded cautiously as he looked at the historical and geographical records. "It's just that it's difficult for a hundred grasses to grow."
She wanted to try to see how much of the future she could change, at least not to flood Xieyang City again in a few years. She wanted to save this barren Zhuangzi.
"..." What's weird about this?
"It's better outside the city." Yan Juan concealed her smile and had no intention of explaining immediately.
"Isn't it better on the mountain?" Pei Yan still didn't give up.
Along the way, I told her a lot about Jileshan, but I didn't see any objection from her. Why was it different when I arrived at Guiwu Mountain?
"Brother Yan has already saved me from fire and water. I can't become a burden to you for the rest of my life. After all, I still have to be more self-sufficient."
It’s already pitiful for a woman to have no power in her hands. If she even loses her money, her whole life will be over.
"You are only six years old! You need someone to take care of you." He couldn't imagine what would happen if she were left here alone and returned to the mountain.
There were people sending messages back to the mountain gate along the way, and his parents must have known that she was traveling with him. She was left behind on the way, and she was the most missing female family member in the mountain gate. He couldn't imagine how many layers of skin he would have to peel off??
"I'm only six years old and I need someone to take care of me. That's why Brother Yan has the opportunity to come down the mountain to see me, right?" Yan Jue fanned her long eyelashes and stared at Pei Yan with her big, clear and innocent eyes, as if to say, "You understand, right?"
Pei Yan almost couldn't hold back his words. Was this calculated?
Is this baby a sperm?
He was not tricked by the eldest prince, but instead tricked by her.
But he is willing to fall into the trap!
"Brother Yan, are you satisfied with my arrangement?" Yan Juan knew that Pei Yan was not stupid.
Although he didn't want to be tricked by the eldest prince when he went down the mountain, Jileshan would definitely monitor him more strictly. In the days to come, let alone going down the mountain, he would definitely not even be able to see the front door of his home!
Pei Yan kept nodding his head and hurriedly took out his belongings and counted them one by one.
A piece of ice-type jade medal with floating flowers and double bats that was half the size of her palm fell into her little hand.
"This is my exclusive token. It's as good as your command. Although my token is not as useful as my father's, it is at least enough to command the people at the foot of the mountain to do something not to kill people or set fire to something."
No killing, no arson??
It’s good enough! She doesn’t need to kill people and set fires, right? Just??
"Can I give you a token casually?" Yan Juan played with the delicately carved and lifelike double bat token. From a modern point of view, this can buy a house!
"It's worthless! My parents' mutton-fat jade is valuable."
Can his father give him the emblem that can truly command the whole mountain? This is just for him because he is afraid that he will sneak out and get into trouble.
It's just that this time he didn't even dare to take it out. The Yong Dynasty was eager to drag Jileshan into the court.
Although the eldest prince may not know who he is, the spies must have been following him since he sneaked down the mountain.
The entire Jile Mountain is filled with male dependents, and since he has never exposed his identity outside the mountain, he probably never thought that the young sect leader would be caught in this ambush.
"Girl, I have no choice but to leave Guyu to you. I will send you Bailu and Hanlu in three days."
"..." Do the people on this mountain have to be named after solar terms?
"I will definitely meet Li Chun Xia Qiu Dong if I have the chance another day." Yan Jue smiled erratically.
"This is not easy! My parents don't let the four of them work for others at will. It's not easy to see one of them." Pei Yan couldn't hide the shrinking in his eyes.
The corner of Yan Jue's mouth twitched. "Isn't it because I saw Brother Yan that he was unlucky?"
"Girl, don't be so good at guessing!" Pei Yan held up his painful forehead.
After pretending to be faint, he met Lixia, and he gave him a map and money, asking him to find a way back to the mountain, and then nothing happened.
Li Xia went back to the mountain in such a gorgeous manner in the middle of the night. He never thought about taking him back to the mountain, and the defense in the capital was no obstacle to him.
Qinggong is the most important thing at the mountain gate. News delivery has always been mainly carried out by pigeons, supplemented by personnel. Important news must be reported one day after the pigeons arrive at the mountain gate, and the personnel must return to the mountain gate to report the news.
He felt that the person who had been tricked should return to the mountain as soon as possible, but his parents had no intention of saving him.
He must have picked it up...
Otherwise, why don't you have any intention of rescuing him?
This was completely different from his original idea. Shan Chuan's son was lost. Shouldn't he be anxious and actively rescue him?
Does he want to have sex? Shouldn't he?
Yan Juan saw the colorful expressions on his face and wanted to ask him what kind of stimulation he had received.
When I heard him hear his father and mother just now, what did he suddenly realize?
"Brother Yan..." Yan Jue's mouth twitched. "Do you have to fill the hole you dug?"
"Can you stop guessing?" Pei Yan irritably stuffed all the remaining banknotes into her pocket.
"Okay." Yan Juan couldn't help but smile, and she understood why Pei Yan and the other three were wandering around along the way.
I looked down at the banknotes in my pocket and was dumbfounded. There were more than 10,000 taels here!
"Brother Yan, what is this?"
"If you don't accompany me back to the mountain gate, at least I'll let you have enough food and clothing. I'll ask Guyu to find a good place to stay. We can cover it ourselves wherever we like."
He made a clear decision between whether he felt sad about returning to the mountain gate now or whether he could legitimately leave the mountain gate in the future.
If she is left helpless and without a roof over her head, and her parents know, it will be even more difficult to return to the mountain...
I believe that as soon as he sets off, news of one missing person will follow back to the mountain.
"..." This was her first step of self-reliance, but she failed!
"Don't worry! Guyu is obedient! Unlike Qingming who always goes astray, I have left my best person for you."
"..."
Qingming came in at this moment and was about to report to the master that it was time to set off. This is heartbreaking??
