Chapter 1888 Net Village
Chapter 1888 Net Village
When it comes to matters related to gods and ghosts, Yan Ruyu's first reaction is that someone is playing tricks.
But the people really like this.
Once these weird and supernatural things become beliefs, it will be very difficult to deal with.
Therefore, they must be eradicated as soon as possible before they become powerful.
There are too many such organizations and the lessons are too profound.
“We haven’t seen it either,” they said. “We are all untouchables, so how can we be qualified?”
"Only Liu Qilang can see it when he is praying."
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other. She remembered clearly that Song Ping once said that when Mu Wu talked to them about his hometown before he died, he mentioned that the reason he ran away was because he had stabbed someone to death.
That person's surname is Liu.
Could it be that they are from the same family?
"Why can he see the water god?" Yan Ruyu asked.
"The Liu family has always had this kind of magical power. They are favored by the water god and can follow his orders."
“The Water Temple was also built by their family.”
"On the seventh day of every month, they lead people to worship the water god. People like us are not qualified to go up to him and can only bow down from afar."
"Where is the Water Temple?"
"It's just sixty miles ahead, in the small town."
"What did you do with your land after it was taken away?" Huo Changhe took over the conversation.
"Was it used by the Liu family to grow crops, or for something else?"
The five people looked at each other and shook their heads.
"That... not really. We don't grow crops. Everything is left barren."
"Abandoned?" Yan Ruyu was a little surprised.
They enclosed the land and took most of the data for themselves, especially in Rongzhou where arable land was scarce. Such a precious resource was left empty after being obtained.
It's a bit weird.
"Exactly. Anyway, we have never seen crops being grown."
Yan Ruyu didn't ask any more questions and let them leave with the dry food.
As soon as they left, Wu Liangsun Qing stepped forward and said, "Master, Madam, I will follow them."
Huo Changhe said: "No need, we are in the wilderness now, we can't wander around casually."
"Yes."
"Rest early and set off early tomorrow morning."
After entering their tents, Yan Ruyu lay down and asked Huo Changhe softly, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Huo Changhe held her hand and looked at the starry sky outside: "Don't worry, we just arrived and are still far from Rongzhou."
"That's right."
The night passed.
The next morning, Wu Liang and Sun Qing found some firewood, and Yan Ruyu took out rice. They simply cooked some porridge, heated up some meat buns and braised eggs, and served them with some side dishes.
Although simple, it is enough to warm the stomach.
Wu Liang sighed: "It's delicious and makes me feel good. If ordinary people can have three meals a day like this, it will be a good life."
Sun Qing nodded: "That's right, the common people don't have much extravagant hope, nothing more than a house and three meals."
After the two men finished speaking, they saw Huo Changhe looking at them, so they quickly swallowed what they had in their mouths and stood still.
"Master, did we say something wrong?"
"No," Huo Changhe sighed softly, "I just feel that you are right. The people's wish is just that simple."
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "You two are quite knowledgeable and hit the point."
"I'll give each of you a bag of dried meat as a reward."
The two were overjoyed and received praise and rewards.
"Master, Madam, we are also from poor families. We are lucky enough to be selected from thousands of people to work in the mansion."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Okay, that's enough. If you continue, it will be considered as flattery."
The two of them laughed.
After dinner, Yan Ruyu distributed the dried meat to the two of them.
The two were very happy and put it away carefully.
Huo Changhe looked at the map and said, "Wangzi Village is not shown on the map."
"Maybe the village is too small and there are no records," Yan Ruyu untied the reins, "Let's go along the road. If we are destined, we can meet again."
Wu Liang and Sun Qing were wondering, when did the princess start to believe in fate?
After thinking for a while, Wu Liang led the horse over and said, "Master, Madam, I have something that I am not sure about for the moment."
"But it doesn't matter."
Wu Liang whispered, "I saw those five people last night, and I felt something was odd."
Sun Qing also came up and said, "I think so too. We discussed this last night."
"Five or six miles, not too far, it would only take a short ride, but they came on foot."
"But we also thought that maybe they left early and there was no other place to find food nearby."
Yan Ruyu smiled and nodded: "What exactly happened? If we can meet them again, maybe we can find out."
Wu Liang expressed his doubts: "Madam, do you think you can still meet them?"
"Nine times out of ten."
Several people set off on their journey. As Wu Liang said, they arrived very quickly after traveling a few miles.
When I reached the corner of a small road, I saw two people walking forward.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, they turned around.
Wu Liang, who was running in the front, recognized at a glance that these two people were the ones he had seen last night.
One of them was the leader, the one who spoke the most.
He slowed down, and a thought came to his mind - the princess was right.
Yan Ruyu also saw it and pulled the reins.
Hu San also recognized her, his eyes full of surprise: "Madam?!"
Wei Liu beside him also waved: "Madam, benefactor!"
Huo Changhe also stopped his horse: "It's you."
"Why are you here?" Yan Ruyu asked with a smile.
Hu San quickly said, "Let's go out and find something to eat. The dry food that Madam gave us last night was really a big help."
Wei Liu also said: "That's right, my son said that he hasn't eaten such delicious food in these days."
Yan Ruyu held the whip and said, "Really? We are tired from traveling so fast. Can we go to your house and ask for some water to drink?"
Hu San and Wei Liu looked at each other and said, "Our house... is very simple, and I'm afraid Madam will dislike it."
"No, it's just a bowl of water to fill up the water bag, nothing else." Yan Ruyu thought for a moment, "We can also exchange it for food."
Hu San quickly waved his hands: "No, no, how can I ask Madam for food for just a little water?"
"We are not unwilling, but we are afraid of humiliating the lady. Since you don't mind, then come with us."
The two led the way in front, and Yan Ruyu and others followed behind.
Huo Changhe looked around as he walked.
No wonder it’s not on the map. How could such a small road and village be shown?
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, there were four roads leading to the village.
Hu San smiled and said, "Madam, benefactor, please look, our village has many roads, just like a net, that's why it is called Wangzi Village."
Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "Interesting."
"Our house is just ahead," he pointed.
Wei Liuyi pointed to the other side: "I'm from Chenjiazhuang, our home is over there."
The two villages are adjacent to each other, but one of them is similar.
They went to Hu San's home. Hu San's yard was quite large, but indeed simple. The walls were very dilapidated and had several gaps, and the door was also a fence door made of wooden sticks connected together.
Neither the courtyard wall nor the gate can stop thieves.
Of course, there is nothing worth stealing in this kind of family.
