MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 15
At this time, the Jiang family has already boiled the bone soup and kneaded the dough, and they will wait until tomorrow morning to add ingredients to cook the soup and deep-fry buns.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Is someone knocking on the door?" Mrs. Chen suspected that she had heard wrong, who would knock on the door at this hour.
And listening to the knock on the door, he was not in a hurry. It should not be something urgent.
"Mother, could it be..." Jiang Yunxue was timid and asked tremblingly. She wanted to say, there must be ghosts, right? There are many legends about ghosts in the mountain village. The one who knocked on the door at this time may really be... She dare not say that word, and she doesn't say ghosts at night!
Chen Shi also clenched the water ladle in her hand, could it be...
"I'll go take a look." Jiang Cheng said immediately. He doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world, even if there are ghosts, he has to protect his family.
"Father, take this." Jiang Yunzhu handed Jiang Cheng a wooden stick used to lift the barrel.
Jiang Cheng took the stick and walked outside.
Jiang Yunzhu was worried, took a kitchen knife and followed behind. She is not afraid of ghosts, she is only afraid of bandits and robbers.
The person who knocked on the door seemed to have heard footsteps in the courtyard, and stopped knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" Jiang Cheng asked standing in the courtyard.
"Businessmen passing by, somehow lost their way and came to the mountain. It is late at night and the dew is heavy. I want to spend the night with you and get some food. I am bothering you!" Yang Sheng said very politely.
When Jiang Cheng heard that this was the case, he was relieved and prepared to open the door.
But Jiang Yunzhu stopped him and asked people outside, "I don't know where the merchants come from and where are they going?" After asking, she suddenly felt that these words sound familiar. By the way, if there are four masters and apprentices outside, it will be more familiar to answer "The poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty".
Yang Sheng had already prepared, "We came from Changfeng Mansion. Changfeng Mansion was hit by a disaster and the price of grain was extremely high. We wanted to buy some grain in Luzhou and sell it back."
Hearing that it was from Changfeng Mansion, Jiang Cheng felt even more close.
Jiang Yunzhu asked, "Is the merchant from Changfeng Mansion?"
"No." They spoke with a capital accent, "We are just doing business in Changfeng Mansion."
"There is Lincang County in Changfeng Mansion, do merchants know about it?"
"Yes, we've been there to sell food."
"Oh? I have been very worried about how my relatives in Lincang County are doing now. I heard that the drought there is very serious. I don't know if the Cangshui River in Lincang County still has water." Jiang Yunzhu asked.
Yang Sheng wanted to laugh outside, but inside this girl is really a second person. There is no Cangshui River in Lincang County, there is only one Cangshan Mountain. If they haven't been to Lincang County, they really can't answer her question.
For a moment, he suddenly wanted to tease the girl inside, telling her that the Cangshui River was out of water, and see how she would react.
But forget it, he is now hungry and cold, so it's better not to cause problems.
"Did the girl remember wrongly? Where is there a river in Lincang County, there is only one Cangshan Mountain." He said.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't feel embarrassed when she was exposed, she just said, "Really? I haven't been there for a long time, maybe I really remembered it wrong. By the way, what's the price of food in Changfeng Mansion now?"
"Good rice is thirty-five yuan a catty, and brown rice is eighteen yuan a catty. They are too expensive." Yang Sheng said.
Jiang Cheng was speechless, rice is so expensive? He was even more fortunate to have moved out of Changfeng mansion early.
"However, I heard that the price of rice is going to drop. The imperial court sent some commander to kill many officials of Changfeng Mansion, and distributed a lot of rice for disaster relief. Now the disaster situation is much better than before." Yang Sheng said at the same time. He looked at Shen Fengming and smiled.
The girl inside didn't want to hear about the situation in Changfeng Mansion, so he simply told her to see if they really came from Changfeng Mansion.
As for the commander, it was Shen Fengming who was talking about it, so his words were teasing.
When Jiang Yunzhu heard what he said about the commander, she immediately thought of Shen Fengming, and she said that sure enough, she said that the killing **** had gone to Changfeng Mansion, so can Changfeng Mansion be safe?
"Is there anything else you want to ask, Miss? We are indeed merchants from Changfeng Mansion. Even if the price of food in Changfeng Mansion is lowered, it is still much more expensive than in Luzhou. We feel that this trip will be profitable, so we came here.
Who would have thought of getting lost.
Girl, we don't eat and drink for free, we give money. " he said sincerely.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, and replied, "You don't need to pay, it's not easy for anyone outside." After saying that, he went to open the door.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't stop him this time. She just remembered that this place is not far from Wuling Mine. There is a large army stationed in Wuling Mine. Any robber or bandit who dares to rob here is looking for his own death.
There may be really lost merchants outside.
"Squeak." The door opened.
"Who is it!" Chen was worried, and came out with a lamp, which illuminated the people inside and outside the door.
Yang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, he had no impression of Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi, but Jiang Yunzhu, the girl swaying in the candlelight, he did have an impression, "You are not that..." It is rare that he even showed his smiling face Surprised emoticon of the day.
Shen Fengming also saw Jiang Yunzhu's appearance clearly, and was slightly surprised.
Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi also recognized the two of them, and were very surprised, how did they come here? By the way, those who followed them.
Jiang Yunzhu, on the other hand, was like a thunderbolt, with only one thought in his head, the killing **** came to the door!
What Yang Sheng just said about merchants was a joke. When did their Qilin Guards start trafficking food? Still getting lost, how many lands and roads there are in the Great Xia Dynasty, doesn't Qilin Guard know?
Get lost!
"Are you merchants?" Jiang Cheng asked, why didn't he feel like it! Especially when they were riding tall horses with a team of black-clothed guards.
The corner of Yang Sheng's mouth twitched, this feeling of being slapped in the face! But the words had already been spoken, so he could only say, "Yes, we are indeed merchants. We came from the capital and wanted to do business in Changfeng Mansion. We hired those bodyguards because we heard that Changfeng Mansion was not safe.
Now that you leave Changfeng Mansion, you don't need those people anymore. "
Jiang Cheng looked the two of them up and down, they were both very expensive, probably even if they were merchants, they were also sons of wealthy merchants in the capital.
After thinking about it, he hurriedly said, "Then come in quickly, it's cold outside."
Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming stepped into the courtyard.
Jiang Cheng closed the door and led the two of them into the house.
Only then did Jiang Yunzhu come back to his senses, it was too late to stop him. Although, she couldn't stop it.
"It's fine if it's not a ghost." Chen walked behind and whispered. She is most afraid of ghosts and monsters.
Jiang Yunzhu smiled wryly when he heard that, these two are scarier than ghosts. Wherever they went, there were no undead. Now they came to Changshi Village for what?
Dead... Suddenly, she remembered a tragedy that happened in Luzhou.
Gu Yanzhou, yes, that's the name. She said that she felt a little familiar when she heard it, and it turned out to be him!
Also, she was wondering before, wasn't Xu Qingshan in Qinghe Village in the dream, why is he in Changshi Village now, isn't it?
With associations in his mind, Jiang Yunzhu just felt like falling into an ice cellar.
