The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

After returning to the inn, everyone went back to their rooms. Jiang Youli, Jiang Baishu and Tie Niu, who rarely did, actually hugged books and huddled together in the room to read.

Jiang Xi also picked up a book and started reading it. It was a storybook, but it talked about some unofficial history of the Great Chu.

When I came back, I bought some candied plums. It’s just right for me to eat them while reading a book.

Anyway, there was nothing to worry about, so the group rested here for two days before setting off again.

Before leaving, the group bought several more books. Jiang Youli and the other two bought the "Four Books and Five Classics". Of course, they did not just read the contents of the books themselves, but also bought the annotations.

The annotations are well done and will be of great help to students taking entrance exams.

When the carriage had traveled eighty miles, Xie Kui finally remembered and said, "Speaking of which, Dongzhou City is a famous place for preaching and teaching."

The atmosphere of study is very strong here. Every year, among the students who go to the capital to take entrance examinations, most of those on the list are from Dongzhou.

After saying that, Xie Kui took the book from Tie Niu and started to read it. Just looking at the copied contents in the book, one could tell that the handwriting was very profound.

Xie Kui regretted it deeply, "I should have collected a few more books earlier."

Xie Kui was a military general, but he also needed to read books.

However, the carriage had already gone a long way and there was no way to turn back.

Unlike when they just came out of the house, now everyone in the carriage was holding a book and reading, or reciting to each other and explaining the meaning of words to each other.

This time, the carriage was on the road for six or seven days.

I don’t know if everyone has become accustomed to the bumpy ride of the carriage, or if their attention has been diverted and they no longer complain.

The two people who stopped the two carriages were an old man and a young man.

Jiang Xi lifted the curtain, and only two male escorts got off the two carriages to check.

Xie Kui held a sword in his hand, and the old man and the young man blocked the carriage and knelt down with a thud.

Xie Kui did not stop them, but asked them from five or six steps away, "How come you two are here in the wilderness?"

"Uncle, we are here to escape the disaster!"

The old man knelt on the ground, hugged his grandson, and begged, "Can you please give us something to eat?"

Xie Kui was suspicious, he did not move, and another male escort behind him took two multi-grain cakes from the carriage.

He just threw the multi-grain cake far away, and neither of them came closer.

After giving the food to the grandfather and grandson, they watched them eagerly grab the food and eat it; Jiang Xi and his group were not in a hurry to leave.

Seeing the grandfather and grandson wolfing down a pancake, whose lips were so dry that they were bleeding, Xie Kui threw another kettle over.

Only after they finished eating the sesame cakes that were so dry and choking in their mouths did they regain some strength.

At this time, Xie Kui started to ask why the two people appeared here.

The old man wiped his tears in pain, "My grandfather and I fled from Gejia Village, 300 miles away. Bandits broke into the village, burning, killing and looting. The government did nothing, so we had no choice but to flee. We were originally going to seek refuge with our daughter, but we got lost in the mountains and forests."

The grandfather and grandson encountered some wild beasts along the way, but luckily they escaped. However, if they had not met Jiang Xi and his group, they would probably have starved to death in the forest.

After giving the grandfather and grandson some more food, Jiang Xi and his companions drove away in the carriage.

After walking for a while, Xie Kui finally spoke up: "In recent years, let alone the government, the court has actually not done much."

Many people have died due to the severe droughts and floods in recent years.

Take the rebels in Anzhou City for example, they also gathered from the disaster-stricken areas.

Of course, ordinary people can only see the victims gathering together to cause trouble, but it would be impossible to capture several cities in a short period of time without someone behind the scenes.

When Xie Kui thought of the person behind him, his eyes turned red with hatred.

In the battle of Qingzhou City, all his family members died.

This time, Xie Kui followed Jiang Xi to the capital, and he also brought a mission to the capital.

They only stopped once on the road afterwards, and Jiang Xi left quietly. Xie Kui only knew that she seemed to be busy with something.

After staying for about ten days, the carriage headed north and finally arrived in the capital seven days later.

The group of people looked depressed, but they seemed to be in good spirits.

In the beginning, everyone was still quite particular about it, scrubbing themselves every day and finding a place to take a bath every two or three days, but later on, they just let themselves go.

When I entered the capital at this time, I smelled a bit sour.

As soon as the guards at the city gate let them go, two carriages whizzed past and immediately went to find an inn to take a shower.

No one even had time to sleep. They just washed their hair and took showers. The water was black and full of dust and mud.

No one looked down on anyone else. After washing, everyone opened the window to let the wind in and blow-dried their hair.

I rested for a day and a night, and then started to stroke my hair.

"We have another store in the capital! Let's go and check it out!"

Jiang Xi called Jiang Baishu and Tieniu, who were resting in the room, to get up and go out.

After going through so much hardship along the way, I finally arrived in the capital, and I must go out and take a look.

The two of them immediately got up from the bed, cleaned up and checked each other, and straightened their hair and clothes.

The most important thing is to bring silver.

"Sister, did you bring our money?"

I have been restraining myself from spending money recklessly along the way, isn't it just for the purpose of going to the capital to see the world?

Jiang Xi said, "Don't worry!"

In the next room, Zhao and Jiang Youli also finished packing and came out.

Compared with the other cities they passed by along the way, the colors of the capital city were obviously much brighter.

"Let's go shopping again when we get back."

Jiang Xi said to the few people who opened the curtain and looked outside curiously.

Half an hour later, the carriage finally arrived at the stuffed toy shop.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the door of the shop, several people got off and turned around several times but didn't see it.

"where?"

Jiang Xi walked up to the shop and unhappily lifted up the hanging beads. The curtain made a tinkling sound.

Several people's attention was immediately drawn over.

"Isn't this too small?"

Jiang Youli looked over and was surprised for a moment, but soon he couldn't help but complain.

Chen Dafu was entertaining guests inside. When he heard the noise at the door, he turned around and looked back. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"My boss?"

Jiang Xi nodded at him and signaled him to continue entertaining the guests.

With a smile on his face, Chen Dafu continued to recommend it to the customers.

The room is small to begin with and there are guests inside.

Jiang Xi and his group stayed outside for the time being and did not go in.

After a while, two girls came out with a doll in each of their arms.

It can be seen that the two of them are not rich girls. At most, they come from a well-off family. They probably saved money for a long time to buy this house.
