After dressing as a superb old woman, I am bound to the power system

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission! The rewards have been placed in the warehouse and can be collected at any time! 】

Qiao Lan secretly wiped her sweat in her heart.

How cunning and treacherous!

She thought that this time-limited task only required crossing the Zhuo River, but who knew there was another river behind.

Moreover, it takes an hour longer to walk across the river. If Qiao Lan hadn't walked faster at the front, he might not have been able to finish the rest.

"If I get stuck, will this task be impossible to complete? Can you give me a complete reminder? Tell me how many rivers I need to cross! You don't do this!" Qiao Lan said with a gun and a stick.

[Host, the unexplored areas of the map cannot be informed through missions. I'm sorry, host. Don't be angry! I will remind you of the mission ratio next time!] Host sincerely apologizes.

When the system first arrived, it would remind Qiao Lan about the progress of the task, and it would keep chattering, pushing the progress and telling the time. Qiao Lan found it too noisy, so she shut up the system.

After regaining her breath, Qiao Lan felt that the system could not be entirely blamed for this matter. At least she was given forty taels of silver.

It's just that I almost couldn't get the forty taels of silver.

Anyway, today's incident also reminded her to be more careful when doing tasks next time and not to get stuck.

"Okay, I have a problem too. Let's just get over it!"

[Thank you, host, you are so kind! Host, 1818 wants to tell you some good news. After completing one more task, 1818 will be able to upgrade!] The electronic sound was filled with joy.

"What happens with the upgrade?"

[During the upgrade, the system is in a dormant state. After the upgrade, the system’s rewards will be further optimized and customized for the host!]

Sounds like a good thing.

But Qiao Lan thought about the glasses that 1818 had recommended before, and she suspected that this was a shopping trap for her.

And the books that can be exchanged for thirty points are not of much use.

However, the lottery must be drawn, and the low-value lottery once every three months cannot be wasted. As for other things, Qiao Lan didn't dare to think about it.

After passing Qinghe Town, Qiao Lan could clearly feel the humidity in the air. It was still damp in the south!

There are many trees in the forest, and there are also more creeks and lakes on the roadside.

The advantage of the tide is that the family no longer has to worry about not being able to find water to drink on the road.

After crossing the mountains and rivers, the group felt that the pursuers behind them were not coming so fast, so they slowed down their pace slightly and started walking slowly.

It was also at this time that Qiao Lan got to know the people in the team better.

Yu Zhao, who had come to their house to deliver things, was still there, and she also met a man in the team with a loud voice.

The man was eight feet long, with a leopard head and eyes. He looked very much like the Zhang Fei in the (Brother, Here Comes Emoticon) that Qiao Lan had seen. He happened to also have a surname of Zhang, named Zhang Shuanglin.

This person can be summed up in four words: strong and powerful.

Qiao Lan had some impressions of this man. When he was putting out a fire earlier, he was the most enthusiastic and took out a new quilt to help put out the fire.

In addition, he spoke with a loud voice, laughed like thunder, and looked silly. Qiao Lan felt that this strong man had some similarities with Duan Mingjing.

Duan Mingjing doesn't really like such a vulgar man!

How can a scholar associate with such a person?

The Duan family had no intention of inquiring about their life experience. Zhang Shuanglin revealed the details himself, saying that he was originally a government servant in Feng'an Town, and his father was also a minor official in the county government.

Duan Mingjing snorted coldly when he heard these words. How could a small official deserve to deal with a family like them?

Zhang Shuanglin took his parents and brothers and sisters with him when he went out this time.

Their family brought a donkey cart with all the family's belongings.

Qiao Lan glanced in the direction of Zhang Shuanglin's finger. When she saw a family with the same round heads and round faces, she could only sigh at the power of genes.

However, they came here specifically to find me, and they must have their purpose behind all these nonsense.

"Brother Zhang, where are you planning to go to the south this time?" Qiao Lan asked smoothly.

Zhang Shuanglin shook his head, with a confused look on his face, "I grew up in Feng'an Town, and my ancestors have lived there for generations. If it hadn't been for what happened, I would never have left Feng'an Town in my life. I have no idea where to go.

, I just know that it will be safer if it is far away from the capital."

Hearing this, many people in the convoy had sad looks on their faces.

If their lives were not in danger, why would they have to leave their hometown? Go thousands of miles to a completely unfamiliar place?

"Where is the old lady planning to go?" Zhang Shuanglin asked.

Qiao Lan didn't avoid everyone, she just said, "My husband's family is from Tongzhou. After my husband passed away this time, the family business in the capital cannot be established, so I plan to take my son back to my hometown to make a living."

What Qiao Lan said was the truth.

But Zhang Shuanglin didn't think so. He felt that the Duan family had a lot of background, especially the old lady in front of him, but he knew he couldn't speak so directly.

"Has the old lady been to Tongzhou before? I want to take my family to live in the south first, and then I will see if I can go back to Feng'an. Our family is not familiar with the place, so I would like to ask the old lady to give me some advice." Speaking of returning to Feng'an.

When he was calm, Zhang Shuanglin's voice was obviously much quieter, and then it gradually became clearer.

Qiao Lan thought to herself that she had been to the south a lot in her previous life.

But this is the south side of Beijing, not her place.

"I have never been back to my husband's house before, and this is my first time back. But if you want to farm, don't go to a place too close to the sea. I heard that the wind often blows at the seaside and can blow people away." Qiao Lan reminded.

A few words.

"There are many mountains in the south. If you want to live a more peaceful life, it would be easy to find a mountain village to live in."

Qiao Lan feels that the cause of all problems is money.

As long as you have money, you can live wherever you want, and you don't have to worry at all.

Zhang Shuanglin nodded after hearing this, and had a general idea in his mind, "I want to live in a village below the state capital that is closer to here. The cost in the village is cheap, and I can occasionally go to the city to inquire about news. I will wait until Feng'an Town is ready

Get up, maybe we will go home."

"It's good to go home!" Qiao Lan echoed.

She also wants to go home!

Duan Mingjing was always paying attention to Qiao Lan's movements, and naturally noticed the change in Qiao Lan's face.

I thought to myself, is his mother thinking about her maternal grandfather Qiao's family in the capital?

Feng'an Town is in such chaos, and I don't know what's going on in the capital. His mother hasn't said a word these days, and she must be extremely sad.

As the old lady's favorite son, he has to do something!

So he went to the old lady's side during dinner that day, and said the coaxing words he used to say, "Mom, when I settle down in the future, my son will study hard and take you back to the capital!"

Qiao Lan felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

Duan Mingjing was uneducated and incompetent when he was young. When he was in his thirties, he thought about taking the imperial examination. How can it be so easy to take the imperial examination?

But after all, he was her son. As a mother, she couldn't attack her child, so she casually asked, "Well, what books have you read before?"

What books have you read before?

When asked by the old lady, Duan Mingjing immediately drooped his beard.

He still vaguely remembered that when he was a child, his father took him to read "The Thousand-Character Essay" and "Hundred Family Surnames". As for the books he read later, there were so many strange ones that he could no longer remember the titles.

In the past two years, the story books that I read most often are the best-selling stories about the adventures of scholars in bookstores, or the stories about a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Thinking about the scripts he had read in recent years, Duan Mingjing fell silent and could not utter a single word.
