"Let's go, go faster, I have a hot meal today!" Xu Qingcheng was very excited and took out twenty Qin Banliang from the bag on the horse's back beside him.

"Calm down." Ju Zizhou reminded: "Don't forget to bring weapons."

"Save it!" Xu Qingcheng smiled and patted the iron sword around his waist.

In this year, the backwardness of productivity and various technologies has led to the extremely low control and monitoring capabilities of the country over the Chinese people, which has made traveling far apart a high mortality rate - without any force, maybe someone would be slapped and quietly dug a hole to bury it when he was staying on the road.

And now, if Ju Zizhou and others are sent to their homes for food and accommodation, if they are not prepared, they will send their necks under someone else's knife.

This is also the most important reason why scholars in this year need to have certain force to fight for their studies.

The village is not very big, just like a dozen households. It is actually a barely enough to say that it is a village.

It was dinner at this time, so there was no one on the middle road in the village. Xu Qingcheng went to find a place to spend the night, but only searched for a house that seemed a little wealthy outside to call the door.

Ju Zizhou followed Xu Qingcheng to the door of the house he had chosen and turned around and looked at it.

He always felt that someone was secretly peeking at him.

but……

He turned around and saw no one.

It's a bit dangerous, this small village...

"We shouldn't be lost, right?" Ju Zizhou asked.

Xu Qingcheng patted his chest: "You can rest assured. I, Xu, have no other skills, and the ability to recognize the way is first-class!"

Ju Zizhou didn't know what to say.

Xu Qingcheng is most of the time reliable.

While he was laughing and crying, he saw a pair of eyes staring straight at him and the two of them in a house not far away.

That's, a little kid?

The child noticed Ju Zizhou was snooping and immediately avoided it.

Like a little beast that is only sensitive and fearful of humans.

Just as he was wondering, Xu Qingcheng called the door open.

A peasant woman who looked twenty-three or four opened the door, and she wondered: "Do you have something to do with the two nobles?"

"We are from Xianyang and are going to Ba County to do something for His Royal Highness Qin. After passing through your village, it was too late, so we thought that we would stay here for a night without any trouble with your family, and that food and accommodation would be paid according to the market price."

Xu Qingcheng casually pushed the peasant woman away and walked in.

He didn't even wait for the peasant woman to agree: "Where is your husband? Call him and boil water with me."

"I'm so tired!" Xu Qingcheng stretched and looked at Ju Zizhou at the door: "Why are you standing there? Come in quickly!"

Ju Zizhou looked at the peasant woman.

The peasant woman's rough but youthful and energetic face immediately showed anxiety.

"It's good that the two nobles don't dislike you, please come in."

Ju Zizhou frowned.

"Thank you." Ju Zizhou led the horse in, took out a handful of money and handed it over.

"My companion is not very polite. Please forgive me for any disturbances."

"What is the noble man saying..." The peasant woman looked a little helpless.

"Take it." Ju Zizhou stuffed the money and then tied the horse to the tree in the corner of the yard.

When I was tying the horse, I saw a piece of obviously overturned land in the middle of the yard and several large pits next to it.

He only took a look and then turned his eyes to Xu Qingcheng.

Xu Qingcheng was careless and didn't care at all, but just patted the iron sword around his waist.

He thought he was extremely confident.

This is because his force is very powerful.

In general farmers, it is unlikely that there are any high-end poisons. Common drugs have very easy-to-identify flavors.

As long as two people are careful, they will not capsize in the gutter.

The peasant woman led Ju Zizhou and the others into the house.

The room was unexpectedly empty.

It seems that I have to sell some furniture if I encounter an accident.

Fortunately, there were still tables and couches, so Xu Qingcheng sat down casually, took off his shoes, and instructed the peasant woman to boil water to soak her feet.

"Your feet are much smelly again." Ju Zizhou's face deformed slightly.

"It's not that my feet smell bad." Xu Qingcheng sniffed his feet and sent his fingers that had just been touched by the smell to his nose and sniffed: "This is closer..."

Close to the stinking of the corpse.

Ju Zizhou frowned.

Yes, it's close to the stinking of the corpse.

He could smell it too.

So, is there something wrong with this small village?

Both of them were awakened.

Xu Qingcheng touched the sword around his waist.

He took the sword off and held it in his hand.

Ju Zizhou sat down and patted his arms.

fine.

Because the two of them had weapons to rely on, they temporarily settled down.

If a household has problems, it often means that the entire village has problems.

At this time, you can easily be besieged.

The two of them tacitly stopped talking and closed their eyes to rest.

After a long time, Ju Zizhou noticed that someone was looking at him, so he followed his eyes.

They are two children, thin and malnourished.

After thinking for a while, Ju Zizhou waved: "You two, come here!"

The two children hesitated for a moment, walked over, staring at Ju Zizhou and Xu Qingcheng's clothes without saying anything.

After getting closer, Ju Zizhou realized that these were two children, one man and one woman, but their faces and bodies were extremely dirty, so it was difficult to tell.

"What's the name?" Ju Zizhou asked.

The two children didn't speak, but just looked at Ju Zizhou and Xu Qingcheng curiously.

In his two big eyes, there was curiosity and fear.

"Two very smart children." Ju Zizhou touched their heads.

"Guruglu." The stomach rang.

Ju Zizhou looked at Xu Qingcheng: "You're hungry so soon?"

Xu Qingcheng wondered: "What?"

"Gululu"

My stomach rang again.

It was the two children in front of them that were roaring.

They are hungry!

Ju Zizhou found that they were the ones who were really hungry, so he smiled knowingly: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some meat?"

The two children nodded vigorously when they heard this.

They have no idea of ​​being shy or not, they only know that some people ask themselves if they want to eat meat.

Of course, that's willing!

So they nodded.

Ju Zizhou patted Xu Qingcheng: "Go and help me bring the jerky we brought."

"Tsk." Xu Qingcheng shook his head: "Well, your path to power in the future will not be very comfortable."

As he said this, he still got up and went to get it.

After taking back the jerky, the two children's eyes naturally shifted from the two clean people to the ones that could be eaten.

Their black and white eyes were filled with desire.
