Chapter 0083 Mountain torrent blocking the road
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw him sleeping funny. Li Yuankang laughed and lifted his bag and said, "Get up quickly! You slept on the table, but you asked us to use breakfast?"
Yu Qiluo also smiled and said, "You broke the window. Don't even let the table go now? Shop, come and ask him to pay the money!"
After hearing Yu Qiluo's words, Mu Ningzhi said in his heart: You were not in the room at that time, but how could you know that Zhou Shaobai broke the window? It turned out that it was your idea.
Zhou Shaobai rubbed his sleepy eyes, but saw that he was only wearing a tight-fitting shirt. In addition, in the morning, there was a very indecent place, and there were four other people standing around him. He suddenly woke up and quickly grabbed the bag and blocked his waist and complained: "Senior Brother Li, my bedding was completely wet last night, and I slept here all night and it was hard and cold. You didn't give me mercy, but you still came to make fun of me!"
Li Yuankang and Yu Qiluo both laughed, and Zhang Xiaofeng said, "You go upstairs to change your clothes, it's too ugly."
So Zhou Shaobai went upstairs to change his clothes, packed his luggage and then went down to the hall.
The store had already prepared breakfast, and several people sat around the table, eating and talking.
Mu Ningzhi looked at Yu Qiluo and said lightly: "Miss Yu, from today on, you will join us."
It was known that Yu Qiluo was hung outside the window yesterday, but at this time he just said "Oh".
"Uncle Mu, this matter is inappropriate." Zhang Xiaofeng put down his chopsticks.
Mu Ningzhi's way: "What are your insights?"
"We have a heavy responsibility for this trip. How can we lead an irrelevant person forward?" Zhang Xiaofeng shook his head and clasped his fists, "I beg Mr. Mu to consider it more."
When Yu Qiluo heard this, her eyebrows stood up and thought to herself that this stern woman agreed, but you came out to make trouble?
She was about to have an attack, but Mu Ningzhi said again: "I want to lead her forward, so naturally I have my considerations. I have decided, so I don't need to mention this matter."
Zhang Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and said, "Since that's the case, I have no objection."
Seeing this, Yu Qiluo smiled at Mu Ningzhi, which was considered a thank-you gift.
But Mu Ningzhi turned a blind eye and said to everyone: "Okay, since that's the case, everyone should have breakfast soon and they will be on their way later."
Yu Qiluo rolled her eyes, finally said nothing, picked up the bowl and drank the porridge in big mouthfuls.
Not long after, everyone finished breakfast, picked up their luggage and went to the shopkeeper to pay the room. Zhou Shaobai had a bitter face and took out a few more copper coins and handed them to the shopkeeper, which was considered to have paid for the money from the window. He shook his head, looked at the increasingly deflated purse and sighed, and then followed everyone out of the inn.
Several people took out their own horses from the shed, turned over to the horses, and headed towards the official road.
After the rain, the blue sky was like washing, the grass on the roadside was as fragrant as condensed, the cool breeze blew on the face, and the weeping willows were like smoke. Everyone walked along the way to see the scenery, but they felt indescribable comfort. Zhou Shao Bai Yu Qiluo and Li Yuankang laughed constantly, and even Zhang Xiaofeng and Mu Ningzhi looked relaxed. The trip to the capital was like an outing after the rain.
After half a day of travel, I saw a large wooden sign standing beside the official road ahead, two soap-clothed officials standing around, and many merchants were gathering in front of me, pointing at the wooden sign and talking.
So the few people tightened the reins and walked slowly. Before the wooden sign, they saw a notice posted on it, saying: The heavy rain and mountain torrent occurred last night, and the five-mile stone bridge in front was damaged. Passers-by chose their own way, and don’t wait for this to prevent accidents.
A merchant bowed to the official officer next to the wooden sign and said, "Sir, when will this stone bridge be repaired?"
The official officer obviously had answered many such questions, and was very impatient: "Who knows this! Don't gather here, hurry up and find another way!"
A merchant next to him said, "The bridge here was destroyed two years ago. That time I waited in a nearby town for a whole month but it was not repaired. In the end, I had to take a detour. I advise everyone not to wait here as it is just a waste of time."
"Brother, ask, how should I take a detour if I want to go to the capital?" someone asked.
"Go to the capital? Just walk south here, and when you arrive at Changming, you can walk through the official road there."
The man said in surprise: "You want to take a detour to Chang Ming? Then you have to walk hundreds of miles more!"
"It's better than waiting here!"
When Zhou Shaobai heard this, he interrupted, "Why not go north? I have checked the map and remember that there is a valley called Mochou Valley to the north. It is about fifty miles away from here and crossing the Mochou Valley. Wouldn't you reach the other side of the river?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as his question was released, the merchants suddenly became silent, and even the two officials suddenly changed their colors, and the atmosphere was very strange for a moment.
Zhou Shaobai said in surprise: "What's wrong with everyone?"
"Brother, I see that you all are young and obviously rarely go out, not knowing the charm of this place. Let me tell you that Mochou Valley is absolutely impossible to go." An elderly merchant said.
Zhou Shaobai dismounted and clasped his fists at him and said, "You are ignorant, please make it clear."
Seeing that he was more polite, the merchant spoke, "Oh, you don't know anything. There is also a nickname in Mochou Valley, called Duntou Valley."
When they heard the three words "Blackhead Valley", the people around them dispersed one after another. It seemed that these three words were very terrifying, which made them afraid of them.
Yuqi Luoqi said, "Old man, why did these people hear Duowen Valley leave in a hurry?"
The merchant shook his head: "Oh, girl, listen to me. Mochou Valley is also one of the channels for coming and going, especially when it rains in summer, once the mountain torrents collapse the stone bridge, most people passing by will detour from Mochou Valley. But about ten years ago, no one who entered Mochou Valley could come out alive."
Speaking of this, except for the two officials, the other merchants around had already left completely.
Yu Qiluo was curious and asked anxiously: "Did they all lose their heads?"
The merchant nodded repeatedly: "It's exactly! The people who entered the first time seemed to have disappeared. So their relatives and friends also entered the Mochou Valley to search. Unexpectedly, this trip was like a mud cow entering the sea, with no news, so no one dared to go in and look for people again. Who knew that after a while, someone found many corrupt corpses without heads outside the entrance of Mochou Valley! Looking at the clothes of those corrupt corpses, they were all those who disappeared inexplicably. So for a moment, rumors were all flying everywhere, some said that there were thieves wanted by the imperial court in Mochou Valley, some said that there were human-eating demons living inside, and some said that there were actually secretly built imperial tombs, those people accidentally broke into the imperial tomb and were killed by the guards..."
At this time, an official suddenly glared at his eyes and said, "You old man, why are you talking nonsense? You dare to slander the royal family in front of me. Are you fucking tired of living?"
"No, no, no..." The merchant was panicked and quickly ran away while waving his hands.
