Chapter VIII The Prefect Sends People Where He Goes
The warm spring sun hangs in the sky, shining on the ground, with green in the dead grass, and birds singing happily in the distance, with gentle and gentle sounds, and the gurgling stream flows, washing away the white reed roots on the shore.
A group of six or seven people, walking in such a scenery, seemed to be looking for something.
Wang Qing and the manager of the prefect's mansion drove a fishing boat together along the stream, while the remaining people were holding sickles and spears in their hands, and plucks and other things, plucks and walking in the dead grass on both sides of the stream.
After informing the prefect the day before yesterday, the prefect, who was worried about the recruitment matters, immediately responded.
If it is not for your own responsibility and you have to handle other matters, I am afraid that one more person will join the team looking for the Peach Blossom Land at this time.
Nearly a hundred people who were looking for people went out, and after they went up the fork in the road, they scattered.
But because there are too many tributaries upstream of the Yuan River, Wang Qing is now only these few people left.
"Mr. Muzhi, someone has also found it here..."
Seeing a red tree stick on his head appearing on the conspicuous shore in front of his vision, he reminded Wang Qing, the prefect's manager on the boat.
There is a lot of respect in the words, without any contempt.
Since the offended Wang Qing's disciple ate a stick and was ordered to be exiled by the prefect, none of the people who came to find the Peach Blossom Land dared to make trouble in front of Wang Qing.
Wang Qing searched for memories and wanted to recall the path of the Peach Blossom Land that day, but the result was not good, because there were no special markers in this area. After watching for a long time, all the streams seemed to have been through, but if you think about it carefully, you will feel that you have not been through.
At this time, when he heard the prefect's manager beside him speak, he answered casually and carried the boat to the wooden stick used to mark it.
Originally, Wang Qing just came to take a look subconsciously, but what happened accidentally made his eyes condense and he felt a sudden sense of enlightenment in his heart.
Those were two or three footprints left near the stick.
"Mr. Mu Zhi has seen something?"
The prefect's manager on the side saw something wrong with Wang Qing. He looked at him for a while, but he didn't see any of them, so he spoke in confusion.
"If we were not wrong, we shouldn't be too far from Peach Blossom Land now!"
Wang Qing looked at the three footprints leading to the grass again, straightened up, clapped his hands with a smile, and said with some ease.
The manager was happy at first and then confused and said, "Where did Mr. Mu Zhi know? Could it be that it was just a few footprints on the ground? He was dull and did not show anything inappropriate from it. Please ask Mr. Mu Zhi to solve the problem."
Wang Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Liu has never lived in the Peach Blossom Land, so naturally he will not see the difference in this footprint. The people there are all pre-Qin survivors, and their customs are not the same as those of today, and the same is true for dressing.
Look carefully. Is the footprint a little big in front of it? And there is a less obvious pit in the middle of the soles of the feet? There is also one at the heel, but it is more vague than the soles of the feet.
These footprints are printed from the unique wooden clogs inside them!”
Because he had a lot of in-depth exchanges with the daughter-in-law of the Heifu family and the granddaughter-in-law of the old patriarch's family, Wang Qing had a deep understanding of the dress of the people in Taohuayuan.
The footprints printed on this kind of wooden clogs are very similar to those of the Jin Dynasty outside. If you don’t look carefully or are not very familiar with it, you will not be able to see the difference.
Sure enough! I made such a big noise with my people, and the people in the Peach Blossom Land still couldn't sit still. I didn't know how to pull out the wooden pole inserted there and secretly inserted it on the waterway that really leads to the Peach Blossom Land, trying to disrupt your vision.
If you guessed correctly, you would never believe the mark at this time. If you still act according to the mark everywhere, you may not be able to find the place where the Peach Blossom Land is here.
Unfortunately, although their plan was good, they forgot that after living for hundreds of years, some of their habits that they had become accustomed to have long been incompatible with the current society!
Some subtle flaws broke the strategies they worked hard to manage.
Wang Qing did not obey the happy prefect's manager's words and took the people directly over, but ordered the few people searching on both sides of the strait to gather and ring the gong used to convey signals.
The people in Peach Blossom Land have great military strength. I really talk about the fact that these five or seven people were delivered to me.
The harsh gong sounded and half a day later, the last team that had been scattered came together.
Under the command of Wang Qing and the chief clerk, everyone walked along the stream together.
Perhaps the people in Peach Blossom Land felt the threat. On the way forward, Wang Qing and his friends encountered more red benchmarks, but then they appeared under the water with some green hair and one or two pink peach blossoms, which made Wang Qing's heart extremely firm.
Especially after the Heifu, who was traveling back and forth in the dead grass, tried every means to lead everyone's attention away from the changing direction, Wang Qing was completely calmed down.
The people in Taohuayuan have really good combat power. Three or four people were besieged by more than twenty people, and they beat seven or eight people upside down and then escaped three. Only the black husband who had broken the back was overwhelmed by the people who rushed forward.
Heifu's eyes were a little avoided, but he was more angry. Even though he was tied into rice dumplings and brought to Wang Qing, he still gritted his teeth and said nothing. He swung his shoulders twice from time to time, and the two people holding him were led to stagger.
Seeing that the person who was caught was Heifu, Wang Qing quickly got off the boat and ordered the two people escorted to let him go quickly.
Several people had seen the extraordinary courage of Heifu, and looked at the chief clerk who was following him in a dilemma for a moment.
The chief clerk ignored the servant's gaze, but bowed to Wang Qing and said, "This time, the prefect has personally instructed him to welcome the pre-Qin survivors to obey Brother Mu's all matters."
"If you haven't seen each other for a few days, you have changed from a fisherman to a person today. No wonder you have the courage to come and find him! You shouldn't have left alive!"
Heifu finally spoke, his voice cold.
Wang Qing personally untied the rope and smiled bitterly: "Brother Heifu, you misunderstood me. I am not a person who is unreasonable. The reason why I do this is different from what you think is not to harm you in the Peach Blossom Land, but to do my best to save you!"
"I have told you twice that our place is not called Peach Blossom Land, but Qingshan Ao!"
Perhaps Wang Qing's words played a role. When Heifu said this, he was still very dissatisfied, but his attitude was not as intense as before.
Wang Qing smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm used to calling you, and I can't change it for a while, but I think the name Peach Blossom Land is much better than Qingshanao...you!"
"stop!"
"what you do!"
"If you don't want him to die, just do it!"
Before Wang Qing could finish his words, a few shouts of resonance sounded, and there was also the sound of weapons being unsheathed.
Wang Qing, who was not much prepared, was tied to his neck by Heifu with a rope, and his face turned red.
