She raised her whip and urged the horse to quickly leave the place with the two people on its back.
Due to inertia, Qian Jinzi bumped into the smelly mute's chest. Her eyes turned red from the pain, and she cried out while covering her head.
"Smelly mute! It hurts so much! I'll deduct your salary if you do something so carelessly next time! "
Zheng Yuan glanced at him.
Fine, he still dared to threaten me. It seemed that he had returned to normal.
He urged his horse and the two of them galloped in the direction of Lin Mengya and the others.
.....
After half a day of bumpy travel, Lin Mengya and the others finally arrived at their destination, Yuehu City, before sunset.
It was probably to commemorate the sudden disappearance of the sacred lake. If one looked down from above, they would find that the city was shaped like a crescent moon.
The material of the city walls was also different from that of other cities.
From afar, the entire city wall sparkled under the reflection of the sunlight. It looked like a meandering lake that surrounded the small city.
"It's so beautiful!"
Moyan held his chin with his two small hands and couldn't help but exclaim.
Lin Mengya patted his little head, curious about the material of the city wall.
Until, they walked closer and closer.
When they reached the bottom of the city wall, she saw that the material that gave the entire city wall an extraordinary texture. It was actually stones mixed with countless amounts of Moon Shadow Sand!
Moon Shadow Sand was considered an extremely precious building material.
According to legend, the Milky Way in the sky was made up of Moon Shadow Sand.
Therefore, Moon Shadow Sand was known as the "Star on Earth" because it could refract light and emit a dazzling brilliance like the Milky Way.
Before this, she had only seen it at the tomb of the Gong family, the palace, the Holy Temple, and other more important occasions.
In the outside world, a bucket of Moon Shadow Sand was worth a hundred gold! It was a well-deserved precious material, but it was a pity that it was produced in small quantities. It was a good thing that was hard to find.
Suddenly, she felt the long-lost feeling of "poverty".
Of course, it was just a casual thought.
But she still couldn't help but gently knock on the carriage, attracting the attention of Uncle Huo who was walking beside.
"Uncle Huo, do you know who funded the construction of Yuehu City?"
Uncle Huo looked around and said in a low voice, "It was funded by all the families, and the Elders Council sent people to build it. What's wrong?"
She pointed at the shimmering Moon Shadow Gravel and said enviously, "Then you guys really spent a lot of money back then. If this thing was sold outside, I'm afraid even my family wouldn't be able to afford it."
Of course, that didn't include the mountains of gold and silver under her house.
Otherwise, it would be more than enough to buy the entire Wei Nation.
However, Uncle Huo smiled and said, "It's not that powerful. I heard that when Yuehu City was being built, it was a disaster year. Those families were still wrangling with each other, so how could they be so generous? "
"Eh?" Lin Mengya was a little surprised. "That's not right! Just the Moon Shadow Sandstone on the wall is priceless. Uncle Huo, do you think I don't know what's good for me? "
This time, it was Uncle Huo who was a little doubtful. Shortly after, he sincerely asked, "This thing is very common in the Gu clan. Lass, you couldn't have made a mistake, right?"
Lin Mengya concentrated and looked at it carefully again.
There shouldn't be any mistake.
In the courtyard that Long Tianhao bought next to the Gong family's old residence, there was a fake lake made of Moon Shadow Gravel.
When it was built, she and the children went over to play with it for a long time.
At that time, Long Tianhao specially asked someone to bring the remaining Moon Shadow Gravel over for them to play with. She definitely wouldn't be wrong.
"No." She said firmly, "I can confirm that this is the Moon Shadow Gravel, which is priceless outside!"
Uncle Huo was also stunned. He looked at the wall and then at her. Finally, his face darkened.
"It seems that there are many things that are being hidden."
Obviously, there was a hidden meaning in Uncle Huo's words.
Lin Mengya's brain also turned a corner, and she slowly reacted.
The Moon Shadow Gravel was real, but it was a pity that some people deliberately hid the value of the Moon Shadow Gravel in order to make a huge profit.
In fact, if she was more conspiratorial, with the ancient clan being so closed off to outsiders, even if there was really something good in the clan, it would only be used by a group of people to fill their own pockets and secretly occupy it.
Lin Mengya happily knocked on the window, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She smiled slyly like a little fox.
She thought that if she really wanted the ancient clan to be in chaos, it seemed that she had another good reason to do so!
After passing through the wall made of Moon Shadow Gravel, the group of people finally entered Yuehu City.
Compared to the shock on the outside, the situation inside was much quieter.
Although the houses here were not shabby, it was probably because they were not used often, so there was less smoke and fire.
However, with the addition of outsiders, this quiet small city once again lit up, and became the focus of the entire ancient clan.
The Zhao Family also had a fixed place to stay in Moon Shadow City.
According to Uncle Huo, all the families that donated money to build Yuehu City would allocate a part of the city according to the amount of money they contributed, and use it to build their own residences.
At that time, perhaps this was a symbol of status, and also a way to compare the family's wealth.
However, with the rise and fall of the various families, some of the residences had changed hands several times.
If a family like the Gong Family was chased out, then their residences would be taken back and auctioned off again.
After hearing all this, Lin Mengya's emotions didn't change much.
To put it bluntly, it was like a public rental house. No matter how much money was offered, they only had the right to use it, but no ownership.
Moreover, when Yuehu City was built, the Gong Family had already been attacked by everyone because they were guarding the sacred lake. Hence, there was originally no residence for the Gong Family in Yuehu City.
There were many people like them, so there would be temporary residences like inns in Yuehu City.
However, Lin Mengya saw Uncle Huo stopping outside a simple and unadorned private residence.
Although Uncle Huo tried his best to hide it, she could faintly sense that his emotions weren't very calm.
She stuck half of her head out and looked up.
"Pei Residence."
Ha, this was really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
However, Uncle Huo didn't allow his memories to erode his rationality.
From a certain point of view, Uncle Huo's self-control was amazing.
Soon, they passed by Pei Residence and found a relatively clean and comfortable inn in Yuehu City to rest.
Although the service here couldn't be compared to the inns outside, it was much better than the posthouse. At least the boss here wouldn't chase people out because there weren't enough rooms. Moreover, they would provide free hot water and some delicious food.
The group was a little tired from the journey.
After eating the food served by the innkeeper and washing up with hot water, they finally regained their spirits.
Lin Mengya and the two babies naturally stayed in the house.
Not long after, Baisu came in with Aunt Fang, who came to visit them.
"It's been hard on you." Aunt Fang said apologetically, "In the past, when we came here, we stayed with the Zhao Family. Although the courtyard over there is a little small, it's more comfortable."
"But now … Your Uncle Huo and I are afraid that you'll be wronged if we go there. Besides, we don't want to have anything to do with the Zhao Family at all. "
Lin Mengya just smiled and winked at Aunt Fang. "We didn't come here to enjoy life. Besides, no matter how good the Zhao Family is, can it be better than home?"
Aunt Fang knew that there were some things that she didn't need to say.
However, their children were all pampered at home. If she didn't treat them well, she wouldn't be able to explain to the elders in the future.
She reached out to touch Moyan's little head and chatted with Lin Mengya in a relaxed manner.
"The Pei Residence that we just passed by is …"
Before Lin Mengya could finish, Aunt Fang said with some emotion, "It's the Huo Family back then."
"Huo Family? But isn't the Huo Family an outsider? Why does it have its own residence in the Sacred City of the aboriginals? "This time, Lin Mengya was even more confused.
Aunt Fang just sighed. "The aboriginals weren't like this back then. At least when I was born, both the aboriginals and the aboriginals could coexist. "
"Although the Huo Family was an aboriginals, their weight in the aboriginals wasn't any less than that of any other family."
"It's just that later … a lot of things happened later, causing the Huo Family to gradually consolidate their power. Who knew that they would inevitably be schemed against."
Aunt Fang's words were filled with memories, guilt, reminiscence, and lament.
Back then, the Ancient Clan had been able to accommodate hundreds of people, and how prosperous they were.
There were countless caravans coming and going from all over the world. At that time, many foreigners were full of yearning and admiration for the aboriginals.
The aboriginals became the center of trade. Whether it was their population or their culture, they had developed and integrated to a considerable extent.
It could be said that the aboriginals at that time represented the most advanced development of civilization on this continent.
At that time, the aboriginals were indeed glorious and magnificent.
The aboriginals were proud of their family name, and others envied the wealth and glory that this place brought them.
But later, for some reason, the aboriginals rapidly declined, and they firmly closed the door to the development of civilization.
What followed was a few decades of stagnation and even regression.
Today, the aboriginals had lost their important status in the past, but they still didn't repent and even had arrogant dreams.
The rise and fall of the Huo Family could be said to be a microcosm of the changes of the aboriginals.
Unfortunately, in the end, even they, a family that had taken root in the aboriginals and even intermarried with them and completely integrated with them, were ultimately ruthlessly uprooted by those people.
Wasn't the aboriginals also the hometown of Uncle Huo and the others?
Thinking of this, she and Aunt Fang looked at each other with a look of regret.
