Shen Zhoujin put a disguise charm on the old man, who looked like an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
During the day, the two of them were completely free to take a stroll, strolling around whenever they wanted, and stopping whenever they wanted. At night, they would put magic charms on their horses and go on their way, taking a rest in meditation.
In Shen Zhoujin's previous life, he had rarely seen the great prosperity.
In this world, there were Tang, Song, Yuan... and then there were several years of chaos in which the heroes were divided and divided, and finally the great prosperity unified the country.
Emperor Wu Xuan is the true Emperor Wu, who conquered the world with his own hands. Now he has been in power for thirty years, with good government and people, and peace in the world.
But even so, near the border, this area of the northwest is still barren, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas, and the towns are dilapidated and desolate. In many places, there are rangers with swords on their backs coming and going.
Shen Zhoujin found that the current atmosphere in the world was actually very good, and the knights were generous, brave, upright and upright. At least she didn't see the kind of people who relied on their kung fu to bully the common people.
Shen Zhoujin said casually: "Is it like this in other places?"
The old man stroked his beard: "I haven't been down the mountain in decades."
Shen Zhoujin rolled his eyes at him in disgust.
The old man then supplemented: "But I don't know anything about Jianghu. I heard that the current martial arts leader of Jianghu is called Lu Qianren. I heard that he has excellent martial arts, is upright, and is very capable. Therefore, although there are many people in Jianghu, But there hasn’t been any big trouble.”
Shen Zhoujin was not very interested: "Oh."
She looked at the passers-by and had a sudden thought: "Yang'er, what do you think about me opening an escort agency?"
The old man said calmly: "You opened a restaurant, but you seem to have never visited it."
Shen Zhoujin: "..."
She forcefully defended: "Aren't I busy these days? Besides, the restaurant is what Xiaolouer wants, not what I want to open!"
The old man shook his head and sighed: "As people get older and experience more things, they feel that nothing is interesting anymore... That's why I didn't go down the mountain for decades. But now that Master is back, I feel it's interesting again. Master still finds it boring, which shows that Master doesn’t care about me."
Shen Zhoujin: "..."
I really can't talk anymore today.
But it's true that she has done everything, so now she doesn't want to do anything.
She just wants to eat, drink and lie down at home every day, and occasionally goes out to torture the scum and act cool... What's wrong with this?
She has more money than she can spend in ten lifetimes, so why should she work hard? In modern times, if I give you 100 billion, will you still go to work?
snort!
The old man smiled so hard that his eyes were bent, and he added: "Actually, if master really wants to do business, he must do business that others cannot do."
Shen Zhoujin raised his eyebrows: "For example?"
The old man said: "For example, when it comes to martial arts, there are people who go astray in their performance... like my junior brother's father, Yan Changfeng."
Shen Zhoujin thought about it and realized that it was really possible. When the time came, he would teach the master and let him do it. He would definitely like it.
She then touched his head and said, "You're so smart. Just do it when you get back and let Wuge let the news out."
The old man smiled and nodded.
The two of them traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, but the speed was not slow. Within ten days, they entered Shuzhou.
It started to rain early in the morning, but it wasn't too heavy, just a little disturbing.
The two of them were not in a hurry, so they just wore big bamboo hats, led the horses, and walked and stopped. When the rain got heavy, they found a restaurant and tea shop to sit down and have a cup of tea.
It was neither early nor late, and there was no one in the small restaurant. After the tea was poured and the two of them took a sip, several people came in from outside.
They sat down on the seats on the left side of the door, ordered a few bowls of noodles, and ate in a hurry.
Shen Zhoujin just glanced at it accidentally, but suddenly his eyebrows narrowed.
These people, three men and two women, each held four children.
One of the women was holding a baby about two or three years old in her hands. She was dressed in coarse cloth and did not distinguish between male and female. She might have been caught in the rain. Her little face was covered in white, which happened to reveal a red birthmark under her right eye. It is the size of a peanut kernel and shaped like a teardrop.
Shen Zhoujin's heart trembled, and she thought again of her husband-in-law who was not her husband-in-law, Huo Lingjue.
When she "married" him in her previous life, he was already an eunuch, and she was also disfigured and had a broken leg.
Chen Muxue insisted on promoting this incident in order to humiliate her, and also to humiliate him.
Everyone said that he was a madman, and he was very frightening when he went mad. It was said that he got mad because he saw his sister being killed with his own eyes, and he had attacks from time to time.
After knowing her for a long time, he also told her about his sister once.
It is said that his sister gave birth to a cute Yuxue. There was a teardrop-shaped red birthmark in the position of the tear nevus. Because many people said that this birthmark was not good, her mother named her Huo Kangning, which means happiness, longevity and Kangning. It’s called Nian Nian, which means peace and quiet every year.
It is said that he left home for a while when he was a boy. Unexpectedly, just after he left, his stepmother sold his sister to a kidnapper.
By the time he found her, it was already two years later. He forced the kidnapper to take her there, and finally saw his sister. Who knew that those people fought back before death and tore the little child into several pieces?
Huo Ling never elaborated on what happened at that time, but what was spread outside was that he went crazy and killed everyone in the village, cutting them all into several pieces and bleeding like rivers.
Shen Zhoujin took a long breath and looked at the child again.
She is fifteen years younger than Huo Lingjue every year, that is, eight years younger than her. She should be almost three years old now, so her age is right.
She watched calmly.
They all look the same, but who of the normal parents would put paint on their children's faces? Unless they are kidnappers who want to cover up.
Moreover, after eating the meal, none of the children cried. It was obvious that they had been given medicine.
Shen Zhoujin watched them finish eating, then pulled the heavy sun and followed them.
After leaving the city gate, everything was deserted. Shen Zhoujin took a picture of both of them and followed them from a distance.
These people did not ride horses. They walked very quickly but were very vigilant. They circled twice before slowly entering the mountain.
Shen Zhoujin and the others also abandoned their horses and followed slowly.
This mountain forest is simply a natural maze. The road has twists and turns. If they hadn't followed these people and found it on their own, it would have been really difficult to find it.
Finally, we entered a small village with about a hundred or so people. Someone came out to greet us and said, "You're back? Did you take a long time this time?"
"You only got four after traveling this far?"
"Forget it," one of them said, "There were originally a few of us, but we met a nosy guy on the way who tried to flirt with us, so we had no choice but to leave him behind. Moreover, he made a mistake and made a girl with a bad face. There are things growing on it, so I’m afraid it won’t be sold at a high price.”
"Let me see...it doesn't matter. With this look, I might be quite popular with men and look good."
"These boys are not bad, they are handsomer than the ones we got last time."
The villagers were talking a lot, and Shen Zhoujin frowned when he heard it.
She understood, this was a kidnapping village! Every tone was so familiar, she didn’t know how many times she had done it!
No wonder Huo Lingjue wanted to massacre the village. If such a thing happened to her, she probably wouldn't be able to bear it and call anyone crazy!
