After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 591

What Liu Ji said did sound damaging to the reputation of the new county magistrate, but looking at the suicide note and the peasants who came to report the news, the county magistrate had to nod, "As far as we know, this is indeed the case."

The county magistrate said anxiously: "Several hours have passed since the suicide note was dropped from the mountain. If the trapped person is really the new county magistrate, and his life is at stake, we can't absolve ourselves of the blame. Please trouble Liu Juren to go and ask for help. Village Chief Qin will meet us at Liao Feng Mountain. I will thank you sincerely when the job is done!"

Hearing the last three words, Liu Ji's eyes lit up, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, clasped his fists and gave the order.

After leaving the Yamen, Liu Ji trotted all the way to the city gate to take out the carriage, and then drove to the village at full speed. Old Huang ran so fast that he almost lost his breath, and it only took more than an hour to reach home.

Before he could stop the carriage in time, Liu Ji jumped out of the car and ran into the courtyard gate with excitement and excitement, shouting:

“Madam! Our chance to flatter is here! No, it's my chance to flatter!”

Luckily he changed his mind in time, how could such flattery involve his noble wife.

With just one glance, Qin Yao knew that the straight up and down in Liu Ji's words was not an exaggerated description, but a realistic description.

Liu Ji nodded and watched her go into the house to change clothes. He knew that she was going to save someone, so he hurriedly found Awang and asked him to prepare everything Qin Yao needed and move it to the carriage.

Seeing Qin Yao, the county magistrate hurriedly came forward to explain the current situation to her.

The laughter suddenly stopped because Qin Yao, who was checking accounts, raised her eyes and cast an irritated glare.

Liu Ji's eyes widened instantly. When he saw her confident smiling face, he became angry and turned around with an exaggerated laugh. How is that possible?

“By the way, get another quilt, maybe it will be useful.” If the person is still alive.

The carriage suddenly stopped, Qin Yao frowned slightly: "Why did you stop?"

Liu Ji San scratched his head, "What if it's not the case? The county magistrate just said yes? He has never met the new county magistrate. If he admits the wrong person, we will suffer a big loss." "What's more, what's more, the mountain road is steep, and we are alone. It's difficult to climb a mountain, let alone bring someone else with you. Even a martial arts master may not be able to escape unscathed.”

The county magistrate nodded, ordered everyone to get out of the way, and led Qin Yao and his wife to the trailhead.

Having said this, Liu Ji then remembered that if he wanted to save someone, he would definitely have to walk up the steep and narrow stone steps. If he failed to save the person, what would he do if he was trapped on the mountain instead?

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows curiously, "Didn't you just say that this is an excellent opportunity? As long as we save this person, the new county magistrate will definitely owe us a big favor and he will have to make things easier for us in the future. "

Qin Yao glanced at the area in front where officials and nearby villagers were surrounded, "Can I go and see the hiking trail first?"

"It will be evening by then." Qin Yao frowned, thought for a moment, and asked Liu Ji to prepare torches and ropes, just in case.

Liu Ji has never been to that place. He only heard from people that the mountains there are high and the roads are dangerous. The only way to reach the top is a stone path along the ridge.

The sun is almost setting. The trees in the mountains are blocking the view, making the light a little darker. Officials have already set up torches.

An official who was good at climbing sent some water and food up there, and also determined the identity and current condition of the trapped people.

“The new county magistrate is trapped on the mountainside?” Qin Yao frowned. She doubted the authenticity of such an outrageous thing.

In the initial section, there are iron cables hanging on both sides, and you can use your hands to lend strength.

"Madam, why don't we go back." Liu Ji turned around and suggested seriously.

"Okay." Qin Yao signaled him to put down his raised paw, put down his work and stood up to ask: "In which direction is Liao Feng Mountain? How long does it take for us to get there now?"

The water delivery official has not returned yet, and everything will have to be arranged until he comes down.

After the horses had all run far away, I realized what I was doing. I was annoyed at myself for following my **** instinct, and also worried that she would never come back from climbing the mountain.

Qin Yao flicked the back of his plump and plump head with her fingertips, "I don't see that you, Liu San, still have any conscience."

“The mountain is not far away. It's only a dozen miles north from the official road of the county. It has been a dangerous place since ancient times, but the scenery at the top is wonderful. Literati often climb the mountain and write poems.”

It was Liu Ji who insisted on doing this!

According to the stone **** of the ridge, steps were cut out manually with chisels, with a width of less than half a meter and a depth of less than a hand.

Liu Ji's body instinct was faster than his brain's reaction. He immediately swung the reins and urged the horse forward.

His mind turned, he might die miserably if he said this, and he said "Hmm" as softly as a mosquito.

A group of official messengers have been dispatched. They called out the name of the new county magistrate loudly, and received a faint response. The distance could be roughly determined, and they were at the midpoint of Liao Feng Mountain.

“If it's too steep, forget it.” Liu Ji suddenly said this without saying a word.

It's him!

"Madam, this is absolutely true." Liu Ji stepped forward, briefly described his encounter with the farmer who reported the letter and the content of the suicide note, and said seriously: "It was the county magistrate who asked me to call you. Can you help me? I said I would thank you greatly when the job is done."

Liu Ji didn't believe it at first, but it was the fact.

It seems that he knows nothing about her strength.

Once you cross the five-meter-high stone steps, you will see bare stone walls, branches and weeds.

After traveling for more than two hours, the couple finally arrived at the foot of Liaofeng Mountain to join the county magistrate.

Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Liu Ji raised his hand and swore, "If there is even half of a lie in what I just said, I will be struck by thunder and I will die!"

Qin Yao's lips curved slightly: “You are worried about me.”

The climbing road is really straight up.

“You can only step on half of the stone steps at one step, going straight up and down. There are no guardrails on the left and right sides, which makes your legs weak and your heart trembling.”

The only good thing is that the road above has a **** and is no longer straight at 90 degrees. You can still climb up by bending down.

Qin Yao ordered: "Let's go!"

"Madam, the newly arrived county magistrate was trapped in the middle of the mountain when he climbed up to collect wind. He couldn't go up or down. He was so angry that he wrote a suicide note on the spot and threw it down. He was picked up and reported to the official. I almost didn't laugh out loud. How could such a stupid and cowardly person trap himself in the middle of a mountain, hahaha. Ugh!”

Qin Yao changed into clothes and pants that were convenient for movement, and only carried a pair of slingshots tucked around her waist for self-defense. She went into battle lightly and got into the carriage with Liu Ji.

Instructing Awang and Yin Le to take care of their home, the couple immediately drove to Liao Feng Mountain.

Qin Yao smiled, "Yeah."

“But wealth and honor are found in danger, and they have come, so it's better to go and see the situation first.”

As Liu Ji drove, Qin Yao sat in the carriage and asked what happened, and sorted out the information about Liao Fengshan.

Liu Ji raised his head and looked at the sky, "It will take more than two hours to get there now at the fastest."

Of course, the premise is that you are not afraid of heights.

Otherwise, if you stop on the mountain, look back and look down, you will see that there is no support on all sides, and the straight cliffs are extremely steep. Just looking at it will make your legs weak.

Liu Ji just laughed at the new county magistrate for being stupid and timid. Now he crawled behind Qin Yao across the straight section, and when he looked back, he felt dizzy! (End of chapter)
