Chapter 441: Hu Brothers, Entering the City and Cai Yunzhou 【Crazy Seeking Votes

~11 min read 2,173 words

Whoosh............

Extreme northern area of Changqing Valley, Daytime

Snowflakes filling the sky, violent wind whistling

A road paved with cyan wood, eight meters wide, ran through from south to north.

The airflow here was strong, but the direction was exceptionally chaotic.

It seemed to be venting wildly because it couldn't find an exit, rolling the snowflakes in the air and making a woo-woo sound; blowing the trees on both sides of the road to sway; and from time to time, it would scrape off the icicles hanging on the rock walls on both sides of the valley. Those icicles were more than ten meters long at the longest, and three or four meters at the shortest. The sound made when they hit the ground was naturally not small.

The dancing snowflakes, swaying trees, and falling icicles, with the empty and uninhabited cyan wood road, formed a strange scene of the wind and snow ancient road unintentionally.

"Silver dragons leaping, cold light hanging over the wilderness, ten thousand gullies engraving icicles, a thousand rocks quenching frost......"

Suddenly, a low, slow, and melodious singing voice came from the end of the road.

One could judge from the voice that it was a middle-aged man.

The first four lines of the singing voice were clearly describing the cruel and cold snow scene of the Frozen Abyss, so the tone was slightly heavy. Immediately after, the man continued:

"Ice blades steep, frozen clouds slanted, wind scraping a thousand mountains, bones engraving scabs......"

The middle part of the singing voice continued to describe the cruel environment, but it added a sense of resistance. The fighting spirit in the middle-aged man's singing tone also gradually rose, and then he sang the last line with a high-pitched tone:

"Stepping through the gale, standing with sleeves shaking, Mount Moao appears in clouds and rosy clouds!"

"Good, Uncle Hu, you sang too well......"

The singing ended, and the crisp praise of a young girl followed.

At the end of the road, a carriage team slowly appeared.

The carriage team had more than thirty people in total. What came into view first were two wooden two-wheeled box carriages, each with five people in front wearing iron shackles and ropes, clearly their power source; then there was a ten-meter-long, five-meter-wide iron-wheeled carriage loaded with goods. There were ten people pulling in front of this iron-wheeled carriage, and five people pushing behind. The weight was clearly far beyond the two box carriages in front.

Around the box carriage in the lead, there were six people walking.

All six were dressed in cotton-padded clothes. Walking slightly in front were two middle-aged men in green clothes, about 40 years old, with firm faces and wearing beast-fur felt hats; the remaining three men and one woman, four young people about 20 years old, lagged a few steps behind the two, because they were holding the carriage with their hands, obviously to reduce the bumps during the carriage's journey.

The four young people, if not the four Su siblings, who else could they be?

"Cough cough......"

The middle-aged man carrying a steel long spear at the front, hearing Su Xing'er's praise for his singing voice, felt embarrassed immediately, coughed twice lightly, and then smiled: "Miss Xing'er, there are four names hidden in this Moao Song, you probably don't know yet, right?"

Su Xing'er was stunned upon hearing this and immediately nodded to indicate confusion.

It was her big brother Su Jing who took over the conversation: "I know a little bit. Uncle Hu said four names, referring to the four Fangbo adults of the four vassal towns, namely Chen Cang Fangbo Chu Longteng, Hezang Fangbo Fu Wanhe, Cai Qiu Fangbo Cai Qianshan, and Weibo vassal town Fangbo Li Gangfeng."

Hearing Su Jing say the four names, Hu Tiejiang nodded with a smile: "Not bad, it is the names of the four Fangbo adults. So many people in our four vassal towns have lived safely in the Mount Moao territory for more than two hundred years, relying on the protection of the four Fangbo adults......"

Speaking of this, Hu Tiejiang paused and hurriedly added: "Of course, we are Cai Qiu people, the one we should thank the most is naturally Cai Fangbo."

The four Su siblings did not answer, but those who were pulling the carriages and on the road all showed thick approval on their faces.

Whoosh............

As the carriage team entered the road section with violent airflow, whether it was those pulling the carriage in front or those pushing the carriage behind, the pressure suddenly increased a lot, and the traveling speed naturally slowed down.

"Tiechuan, come with me to help push the carriage!"

Hu Tiejiang was very experienced, greeted his younger brother Hu Tiechuan, and hurriedly walked behind the second box carriage to help push.

The four Su siblings followed suit and walked behind the box carriage to help push;

Su Xing'er looked at the wind force around her which was still increasing, and couldn't help but turn her head to ask: "Uncle Hu, why is the wind here so big and chaotic?"

Hu Tiejiang clearly had extremely rich experience and immediately smiled: "Because there is long-term outward airflow in Changqing Valley. Due to the terrain and temperature, the airflow outside the valley will pour in, and the two airflows formed a confluence here, so the wind here became big and chaotic."

Su Xing'er is not stupid. Hearing this answer, she only lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then immediately raised her head and said happily: "We are almost at Qinghuacheng?"

"Miss Xing'er is really smart!"

Hu Tiejiang first praised Su Xing'er, then looked north, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of joy in his eyes: "Not bad, we are only five kilometers away from Qinghua."

"Finally arriving!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the four Su siblings relaxed a lot.

Setting off on the night of the twelfth day of the first month, walking and stopping, this was already the fifth day. Besides normal rest, they only stopped once in the middle, which was at Aikou Village last night.

This box carriage, and the laborers pulling the carriage, were rented in Aikou Village.

As for the two brothers Hu Tiejiang and Hu Tiechuan, they were also accidentally met by them in the Aikou Village post station last night. The two brothers came from another village, and the goods loaded on the iron-wheeled carriage were clearly what they were going to sell in Qinghuacheng.

"Husband, the coal is almost burned out!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the second box carriage.

Hu Tiejiang heard the voice, immediately took out a few pieces of coal from the leather bag hanging behind the box carriage, then slowly lifted the curtain, used his body to block the cold light outside, waited until the curtain opening was almost enough, carefully drilled in, and then closed the curtain quickly with his backhand.

Seeing the curiosity on big brother Su Jing's face, Su Xing'er immediately leaned over and whispered: "I saw it yesterday. Inside that box carriage are the wives and children of the two Hu brothers. Among the five children, the oldest is only seven years old, and the youngest is still being held."

No wonder!

Such small children must have no cultivation and cannot see the light.

Su Jing's confusion was solved, and he nodded immediately. But then he looked at the bright sky, his face condensed slightly, and his expression sank a lot.

Not only him, Su Xu and Su Zhi also heard their little sister's words. The two were naturally not stupid. Seeing their big brother's expression change, they lowered their heads and pondered for a moment, and immediately reacted, and their expressions also sank.

And at this moment, inside the second box carriage.

Hu Tiejiang first put the coal into the stove to burn, then turned his head to look at his wife Fang Jing and sister-in-law Wang Qing, seeing that both of them were very uneasy, he immediately leaned forward and whispered: "Jing'er, sister-in-law, don't be afraid, we will arrive at Qinghuacheng soon. As soon as we enter the city, we will immediately go to the Administrative Division, first remove the slave and base household registration, and then re-register for civilian household registration. Fei'er and the others are all going to the Administrative Division for the first time. As long as we enter the civilian household registration, they will automatically become civilian household registration."

The two women each held a baby, about thirty years old, with good looks, and one could tell at a glance that they were not people who had hunted outside for a long time.

Hearing her husband's words, the uneasiness on the faces of Fang Jing and Wang Qing immediately dissipated a lot.

Hu Tiejiang took out two paper documents from his arms, looked at the two words "slave household registration" at the head of the document, clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Leader Zhang is too much. It was already agreed before that my brother and I would hunt for him for two years for free, and he would hand over the slave household registration of the two of you to me. The two-year period expired, and he actually disagreed again.

He can do the first day, so he can't blame us for doing the fifth day. These two slave household registration documents were originally what we deserved. I am not afraid even if he really pursues it......"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the children in the arms of the two women, as well as the three six or seven-year-old children behind them, and continued with a firm expression: "If we don't remove the slave and base household registration, Fei'er and the others can only be like us in the future. Only by entering the civilian household registration can we truly be considered humans......"

"5 bristles of strength, actually still base household registration, Cai Qiu's strength is really strong!"

Inside the carriage at the head, after listening to Hu Tiejiang's words, a look of incredulity flashed in Xia Hong's eyes, and then he sighed at Cai Qiu's powerful strength.

Only this explanation works!

Cai Qiu really doesn't lack Frigid Resistance levels, at the very least, it doesn't lack those with 5 bristles of strength.

"It's not strange either. The County Guard soldiers I saw four months ago all had strength above 6 bristles. They are still the weakest military branch. Cai Qiu has more than 300,000 large armies. Thinking about it this way, 5 bristles of strength really doesn't count for anything here.

And the minimum cultivation requirement to enter civilian household registration is 5 bristles. In other words, only with strength above 5 bristles do you have the qualification to be an ordinary person."

Of course, it is only qualified!

Entering the registration requires money, and quite a lot.

From Hu Tiejiang's words just now, one can also infer that de-registration is clearly a very troublesome thing. Not only does it cost money, but it also requires the consent of the master's family.

"So these Hu brothers are base household registration, their wives are slave household registration, they should be the slaves in the family of that Leader Zhang they mentioned. The brothers were cheated into working for nothing for two years, and they were really angry, so they stole their wives' slave household registration certificates, intending to rush to Qinghuacheng to de-register......"

Xia Hong cleared up the ins and outs of the matter in his mind very quickly. He looked down at the black Xia clothing on his body, and immediately understood why the two brothers followed him out last night.

Hu Tiejiang was clearly worried that the Leader Zhang would catch up, or that something would happen on the way. Last night at the Aikou Village post station, he saw some clues from his dress. For safety, he pretended to make friends with the four Su siblings and followed him on the road.

After Xia Hong figured it out, he smiled lightly. Hu Tiejiang's behavior was at most a little wisdom of a small person to survive, which could not be considered a very bad thing.

The problem is......

"No one has chased after us all the way. Either they haven't discovered that the slave household registration was stolen until now, or they have long had countermeasures and are confident enough not to bother chasing."

The former is fine, but if it is the latter, the de-registration dream of these Hu brothers is afraid that it can only be done at the moment of entering the city.

The carriage team is not comparable to a single person, and the environment at the mouth of the valley is harsh. The five-kilometer journey, everyone walked for a full half an hour, and it was already dark when they arrived.

"Arrived!"

"In front is the Qinghuacheng gate."

"This is Qinghuacheng, what a big city wall!" ===== CHAPTER 442 =====
