Chapter 81

When Liang Qin took Wei Changtian's hand and appeared in front of Liang Zhen and the others, apart from being a little surprised, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong.

The people present were all warriors, and they didn't care much about whether a man and a woman would kiss or not. In addition, they all knew that the two had a close relationship, so they pretended not to see it at the moment.

"Chang Tian, ​​come quickly!"

Liang Zhen greeted them, and everyone sat down at the table one after another.

Tables, chairs and other things were just brought by Yicheng from the station, and they were placed in the shade under a big pagoda tree, on which there were already many dishes and dishes.

Although there are no good dishes, it is also considered rich.

A few people are not so particular, they eat with their chopsticks as soon as they sit down, chatting with each other while enjoying the mountain scenery in the distance.

A deputy general reported:

"General, son, we have now entered the border of Tanzhou, and we will be able to reach Zhongling County at night."

"This county is not very big, and I have already sent people into the city to notify the government."

"By the way, it is said that there is a strange mountain named 'Duantian' in the west of the county seat. If you are interested, the general and the young master can go and have a look..."

Liang Zhen and the others didn't take the Tanzhou road when they returned to Beijing, so the scenery they encountered along the way in the past few days was quite new, and they always went to the local wonders and wonders wherever they went.

It was originally a trip to the border to "rescue prisoners", but now it's a bit like an autumn tour...

Of course, the speed of travel will definitely be slower in this way, but it seems that everyone doesn't care much about it.

Anyway, there is nothing important, and it is also good to travel around the mountains and rivers while driving.

It's just the name of the mountain "Duantian"... Liang Qin frowned and expressed his objection.

"This mountain is not good. It conflicts with Brother Changtian's name. I don't think we should go there."

"This……"

Liang Zhen also reacted when he heard the words, and immediately responded: "Qin'er is right! The name of this mountain is nothing to look at!"

"We won't stay in Zhongling any longer, rest in the county town for one night and continue on our way!"

"Yes, General!"

The lieutenant hurriedly put down his chopsticks, cupped his hands and admitted his mistake: "Don't blame me, my lord, this is a villain's lack of consideration!"

"fine."

Wei Changtian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and waved his hand, thinking that the ancients were more particular about more.

He obviously wanted to go to this mountain to have a look, but he couldn't say anything now, so he just continued to eat in suspense.

Warriors generally eat faster, and it didn't take long for everyone to fill their stomachs to the full.

"Brother Changtian, are you full?" Liang Qin asked in a low voice beside him.

"Well, I'm full."

Wei Changtian put down his chopsticks and burped, looking around casually until his sight stopped somewhere.

It was a thin and small girl, wearing linen clothes that obviously didn't fit her body, and her hair was messed up.

She seemed a little afraid of people, she didn't dare to get too close to Wei Changtian's people, nor to the post station, so she sat alone on the stone between the two places, holding a whole grain bun in her hand and eating slowly.

Following Wei Changtian's gaze, Liang Qin also noticed this pitiful little girl, and suddenly felt unbearable.

She hesitated for a moment, and immediately waved a soldier to her side.

"Go and bring that little girl over, speak softly, don't scare her."

"yes."

The soldier responded and walked to the little girl, bent down and said something.

It could be seen that the girl was a little scared, but in the end she picked up a big bamboo basket and followed the soldiers timidly back.

She stood still a few steps away from the crowd, lowered her head and did not speak.

"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

Liang Qin smiled and waved: "Come here."

"..."

The little girl looked up at Liang Qin, probably because she felt that she really didn't look like a bad person, so she finally hesitated to get closer.

"How old are you? What's your name?" Liang Qin asked, holding her little hand.

"Nine, nine years old, called Ah Chun..."

The girl's voice was nice, but the volume was too low, as if a gust of wind would blow it away.

"Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?" Liang Qin asked again.

"there……"

The little girl timidly pointed to the short mountain not far away.

"..."

Liang Qin and Wei Changtian looked at each other, then looked at the fire pocket in the bamboo basket, they both understood that the little girl's parents were probably gone, and she should go to the mountain to go to the grave today.

This kind of bereavement at an early age is actually not uncommon in this day and age.

If the boy is okay, he may be adopted by other relatives.

But if it is a girl, there is a high probability that they can only rely on their own self-reliance, and not a few will starve to death in the end.

"Ugh……"

Liang Qin sighed softly, turned around and took a large bowl of food from the table and handed it to the little girl.

"Hungry? Eat something."

"I……"

Ah Chun swallowed hard, and put the bowl back on the table: "Madam, I brought dry food."

"lady……"

Liang Qin was stunned for a moment, but soon understood.

For this kind of children whose lives are in the backcountry, "Master" and "Madam" should be the most respectful titles they can know.

Liang Qin smiled and did not correct him, but persuaded softly: "Don't be embarrassed, we will throw away these meals if you don't eat them."

"what?"

Ah Chun was taken aback, his big eyes flickered in confusion, as if he couldn't figure out why such a good meal should be thrown away.

"Then, I'll eat..."

She struggled for a while, and finally picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, and started to eat in small bites under the encouragement of Liang Qin's eyes.

Liang Zhen and the others didn't say anything when they saw this, they were still chatting on their own.

Soon, Ah Chun ate up a big bowl of food.

Maybe it was because she hadn't eaten so full for a long time, but the little girl couldn't help hiccupping.

"Drink some water... are you full?"

Liang Qin smiled and handed over another bowl of water.

"Eat, belch, I'm full..."

Ah Chun didn't stop hiccupping after drinking the water, his little face flushed with shame: "Thank you, hiccup, ma'am..."

"Unkind."

Liang Qin wanted to pat her on the back, but Ah Chun suddenly bent down at this moment and shook out the few mountain goods in the bamboo basket.

Wild mountain mushrooms, wild fungus, and several medicinal herbs... While belching, she gathered these things together, carefully tied them into a bundle with a straw rope, and placed them gently at Liang Qin's feet.

"Husband, madam, these are for you."

"Take it back, I don't want your stuff."

Liang Qin picked up the mountain goods and wanted to stuff them back into the bamboo basket.

But Ah Chun took a step back, lowered his head and said seriously: "Madam is kind enough to give me food, it's not something I should take for granted."

"..."

Liang Qin's eyes were a little surprised.

She didn't know what to say for a while, and Ah Chun bowed to everyone at this moment, and then walked away with an empty bamboo basket on her back.

The thin figure quickly walked a distance away, and Liang Qin couldn't help sighing to Wei Changtian after a long silence: "I didn't expect this child to be so sensible..."

"yes."

Wei Changtian glanced at the bundle of mountain goods under his feet: "If she sells these things to make food, she will probably be able to eat them for a while longer."

"..."

Liang Qin was stunned for a moment.

Wei Changtian didn't say anything else, just shook his head and took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, and threw it away casually.

The silver drew an arc in the air and just fell into Ah Chun's bamboo basket.

Today there are... I'm writing and I'm writing...
