Chapter 35: Knowing the situation, clearing the dust

Mrs. Niu hurriedly went to clean up the guest room. It was said to be a guest room, but it was also a room separated by wooden boards. The whispers of Mrs. Niu and Brother Niu next door could be heard clearly: "Master, I gave this young man tomorrow's meal.

What should we do?"

Brother Niu replied again, but he didn't understand it very well. He could only guess based on Sister Niu's words. Lu Qingchen's heart twitched when he heard it.

Lu Qingchen, who had been sleepless all night and felt a little dizzy, heard the movement next door and got up.

Seeing that Lu Qingchen was in low spirits, Sister-in-law Niu hurriedly said to Brother Niu: "Quickly go to the village head's house in the next village and borrow some eggs to make breakfast for the guests."

Brother Niu voted and turned around to go out. Lu Qingchen had no time to stop him.

After what happened last night, Lu Qingchen knew that the lives of the Niu family and his wife were extremely poor, but they still managed to eat and even borrow food for a stranger like him.

He didn't quite understand. Since he had questions, he no longer hurried on. He arranged for the bookboy to pack up the carriage and put it in an inconspicuous place, preparing to settle here for a few days.

I was walking fast at night, unaware of the scenery in the mountains. At this moment, the morning light gradually became brighter. I opened the door and smelled the fragrance of the mountain soil and grass. The smoke from several houses slowly rose and merged with the fog.

Everywhere, it looks like several immortals are dancing gracefully. The morning light shines through the white mist and fills the earth. The ground is golden, just like gold falling on people's homes.

The emotions that were somewhat suppressed due to the discomfort last night were gone for two or three miles, and the beauty was so beautiful that it made people forget their worries.

There are mountains and rivers and people on one side, and there is no need to inquire about their kindness. Such a beautiful book is the best evidence.

Lu Qingchen completely absorbed himself into the scenery of the mountains. He suddenly rubbed his eyes, and saw a black patch of black in the distance, coming towards them. Thinking that he was deceived, he turned his head and looked at the book boy next to him, both of whom saw in the other's eyes.

It was incredible.

Brother Niu, who had left early in the morning, was heading towards them with a dark group of people. Where did these people come from? There were only a few households here.

While Brother Niu was chatting and laughing with the leader, he turned around and pointed at Lu Qingchen, and the leader nodded, seemingly very satisfied.

Before he could follow him, Lu Qingchen saw the other party and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Old man, what is the purpose of such a battle??"

The old man looked at Lu Qingchen carefully again when he got closer. He felt a creepy feeling being stared at. Lu Qingchen ignored the uncomfortable feeling and was about to speak again, but the old man said: "What a good boy. What a good boy."

Then he stretched out his bony right hand and wanted to touch his cheek. Seeing that the other person could not lift his hand, Lu Qingchen hurriedly lowered his head and moved his face towards him.

His rough right hand rubbed the fair and tender face, causing a slight sting. Seeing the two distinct colors of black and white, the book boy did not dare to come forward and disturb him without the young master's permission.

When Mrs. Niu said: "It's time to eat," the old man took back his hands.

After a while, Sister Niu brought out the morning food, and sure enough, it was the face feast that Lu Qingchen had heard about in the morning. He and the scholar had two each. And Sister Niu's family of three had unknown wild vegetables and water in the bowl, so the contrast between the two sides

Under this condition, he felt a little unable to eat.

Lu Qingchen gave the eggs to the little girl Niu he met last night. When the boy saw him, he also gave his eggs to Brother Niu and Sister Niu.

The family did not dare to accept the offer, but the old man spoke again: "We are very kind to our guests. Please don't postpone it any longer. Take it." After hearing what the old man said, Mrs. Niu and her family's eyes seemed to glow with a faint green light, and they nodded hurriedly.

The old man said again: "Young Master Qingchen, you already know the situation in the village, so don't be surprised."

Lu Qingchen hurriedly shook his head and said: "Old man, Brother Niu and Sister Niu, it is a great kindness for me to let me settle down at night. How can I push myself further and be dissatisfied?"

The old man nodded with a smile and said: "I am the village chief of Qingyang Village next door. This is Niujia Village. The chief of Niujia Village died of illness not long ago. I am in charge of the two villages. This young couple

Last night, I saw Mr. Lu who was like a god. I was afraid that his rough hands and feet would make him uncomfortable, so I came early in the morning to find me."

When Lu Qingchen heard this, he quickly stood up and saluted the village chief of Qingyang Village and said, "Old village chief, you really love this boy Qingchen. This boy is really scared."

The head of Qingyang Village waved his hand and said: "It's not a big deal. If you see someone asking for help, you should help him. If he and his wife don't help, they will be looked down upon by the villagers."

When Lu Qingchen heard this, he gave another big salute to the people sitting here, for the kindness of these two villages. Countries have been fighting for years, and there are countless people who are trying to sweep away the snow in front of their doors.

After Lu Qingchen sat down, he asked the village chief of Qingyang Village: "Old village chief, I would like to ask how far this place is from Yueyang, Qin State."

When the old village chief heard this, he stood up tremblingly. Seeing this, Lu Qingchen hurriedly helped him up with the book boy. The old village chief turned around, broke away from Lu Qingchen's support, and shook his right hand.

Pointing to the green mountain opposite: "Young Master, go around this mountain and walk on a slightly wider road. Then keep going straight for three to five days and you will reach Yueyang City. Young Master is going to Yueyang City now, but because of

Have you read the recruitment list of the new King of Qin?"

Although this place is not far from the capital, why is this village so well-informed? Lu Qingchen was extremely surprised: "Old village chief, how do you know that this kid is going to the recruiting list?"

Before the old village chief could answer, a burst of laughter came from behind. When he turned around, he saw a silly smile on Brother Niu's dark face, with a hint of shyness in it.

A man from Qingyang Village spoke up: "Young Master, you don't know, but our Brother Niu almost became the Prime Minister of Qin."

A man from Niujia Village also laughed loudly and said: "Brothers from the Yu family, didn't you almost get a general to pawn." The man from the Yu family who had just spoken out also made a big blush. Lu Qingchen heard this too.

I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The old village chief coughed lightly: "Enough is enough. If it weren't for the generosity of the new King of Qin, would you two have come out together and dared to make such nonsense?"

When Lu Qingchen saw this, he hurriedly asked what was the reason. The people in the two villages spoke to each other, and Lu Qingchen finally understood why: On the day when the recruitment list was posted, both of them were present, holding their arms.

With the mentality of giving it a try, they followed the messengers into the palace. The two people, who had no hope in their stomachs, saw the talent of the new King of Qin. They were so frightened that they fell down in the palace without saying a word. The former King of Qin

He just shook his head and sighed, no longer smiling like before when he saw the two of them.
