#28Chapter 28 Entering the County Town (Please read on)
"Sir, I'm going to Taiping County soon. I've never been to the county and I'm not very familiar with it. I heard from others that you've lived in the county for many years and are familiar with some of the rules there."
"So I'd like to ask you to go to the county with me and give me some advice."
Shen Qing stood in front of Zhang Shuyuan and said humbly.
Zhang Shuyuan said casually while reading a book: "I don't want to go. It's so cold, and I'm not in good health. I can't stand it. Besides, I haven't been to the county for a long time..."
"I'll pay." Shen Qing looked at Zhang Shuyuan with a smile and a sincere look.
Zhang Shuyuan thought to himself, how could such a perceptive child be so worldly.
"It's not about money, it's mainly about..."
"I'll give you a hundred coins, and there's a carriage to pick you up."
Zhang Shuyuan put down the book and sighed, "Okay, I'll go with you, but..."
"Two hundred coins."
"When do we leave?"
"After half an hour."
"Then I'll find you after half an hour."
"Thank you, sir."
After Shen Qing left, Zhang Shuyuan let out a long sigh.
He had heard about what happened in the village yesterday.
But he was not surprised.
There were many murders in the gang fights in the county.
He was used to it.
So when facing Shen Qing, he was very stable and dared to ask for money.
"It's insulting. But earning money is not bad, and I have to eat."
...
After Zhang Baoqing became a mountain leader, he seemed to be full of energy and did everything Shen Qing asked him to do.
With the help of Shen's cousin, Shen Qing had basically dealt with it without any intervention.
Looking at the already full cart, Shen Qing sighed.
It is true that when you are poor in the city, no one cares, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
He has seen the reality of human nature.
When he had nothing, it was difficult to borrow a bowl of rice from others.
Now he has only practiced the basic martial arts of Jiugongjin to perfection, and it is like this before his blood is perfect.
I really don't know how powerful those martial artists who have truly entered the martial arts in the county are.
Shen Qing put away his sighs, looked at the sky, and ran straight to the back mountain with a bow hanging on his body.
He planned to take out the two bows and leather clothes of the Chen Tai brothers and take them to the city to sell.
Now that the Chen family is gone, no one will say anything about these things in broad daylight.
It is also an income after all.
According to his memory of that day, Shen Qing found the hiding place of that day.
He pulled away the snow and took out the two bows and two fur coats hidden inside.
Shen Qing checked and found nothing unusual, so he packed them and took them with him.
At this time, a flock of birds suddenly flew away in the vast mountains in the distance.
A low roar of an animal came from afar, which made Shen Qing feel a little nervous.
He didn't dare to stay for long, and quickly went down the mountain.
When he reached the outskirts of the forest, he stopped and looked back.
"If I heard it right, it should be a tiger roar."
"When will there be a big insect nearby?"
Shen Qing felt a little incredible.
...
At the entrance of the village.
A horse pulled a cart full of mountain products.
Shen Qing sat in the center, and Shen Xiaohu and Zhang Shuyuan sat on the left and right respectively.
"Go!"
Shen Qing held the reins, whipped out, and walked along the mountain road towards Taiping County.
Taiping County is about fifty or sixty miles away from their Hongshan Village.
They were sitting in a "horse carriage", and with the weather being good, they could arrive in less than an hour.
On the way, Shen Qing drove for the first time, so he didn't dare to drive too fast.
He kept a tense face, staring at the horse's butt with full concentration, and was very worried that it would suddenly lose control.
"When driving a horse carriage, the most important thing is that you let the horse feel your presence. When you hold the reins, you should relax and move from time to time. When you whip, be gentle, and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration to avoid scaring the horse."
Zhang Shuyuan, who was standing aside, rarely changed into a clean long gown, sat on Shen Qing's cart, and talked freely.
"Also, don't worry. This is a slow horse, it doesn't have a temper, and it's very well-behaved."
Shen Qing looked at Zhang Shuyuan with some surprise.
"Sir, can you drive?"
Zhang Shuyuan closed his eyes slightly and didn't respond.
Shen Qing knew what to do and didn't ask again. He began to concentrate on driving according to Zhang Shuyuan's teaching.
After a while, he suddenly felt moved.
In the sight, a drop of ink dripped from a high place, and the mist dispersed.
A series of ink words slowly appeared in front of Shen Qing.
[Skill: Driving Skill (Beginner)]
[Progress: 4/100 points]
[Status: Cannot be improved]
[Note: The art of driving is to practice makes perfect. Continuous practice can improve the progress of skills and master the key points of driving. In the future, you can drive steadily and quickly, as if you were using your arms and fingers, and ride away from the dust. ]
Seeing the extra reminder in the sight, Shen Qing couldn't help but be stunned.
I didn't expect that I could develop a skill just by walking.
More skills are better.
Shen Qing was idle anyway, so he began to concentrate on driving and tried to improve his driving skills.
Shicheng Mountain covers an area of 100 miles, which is not small, but the scenery is really average.
There are low mountains on both sides of the mountain road, not much beauty.
Shen Qing and the other two drove together. After walking for half an hour, there were gradually more ruts on the mountain road.
The mountains were criss-crossed, turning all the snow into water, and the mountain road gradually became muddy.
However, after half an hour of practice, Shen Qing has mastered the key points of driving and his driving skills have also improved.
I saw him holding the reins tightly, his expression unchanged, driving the little horse to pick up the path.
The little naughty horse seemed to understand what Shen Qing meant. He squirmed his buttocks and cooperated very well, which made Zhang Shuyuan on the side look at him sideways.
He couldn't help but have a higher evaluation of Shen Qing.
After walking for a few more moments, Shen Qing and others saw the outline of Taiping County.
Shen Qing couldn't help but wave the long whip in his hand, driving the little horse to speed up.
After a while, a city appeared in front of Shen Qing and the others.
As the largest city in the surrounding area, Taiping County occupies a quite vast area, with mountains and water at its back, and its terrain is very advantageous.
There is a thick rammed earth city wall outside the county seat, which divides Taiping County into an inner city and an outer city.
Within the city wall is the inner city, where some martial arts schools, markets, and government courtyards are located, and there are many noble people there.
Outside the city wall is the outer city, where people live.
The size of the outer city is undoubtedly much larger than that of the inner city, but it is also the most dilapidated.
Looking around, there are densely packed shanties, which are dirty and messy.
It was full of beggars and all kinds of lowly households.
As soon as Shen Qing and the other three walked into the outer city, various people immediately surrounded him, asking for all kinds of food, and even snatched the mountain goods from his car.
Immediately, Shen Qing's face became fierce, and he punched the people with unclean hands and feet. These people only stopped due to Shen Qing's harshness.
"Why is Taiping County like this?" Shen Qing asked with a frown.
Zhang Shuyuan raised his eyelids and said: "Otherwise, why do you think it is called Taiping County? Whatever you lack, just want it."
Shen Qing was speechless.
"Let's go into the city."
In the new book period, book lovers must catch up on Tuesday and Wednesday in time.
The competitive mechanism of Qidian is very fierce now, and resources are very tight. I hope everyone can help me, and I am very grateful.
