It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

"Master, are you guys speaking foreign languages?"

"Ah... well... I learned two sentences from the priest. It's not very difficult." Weng Xiaoxiao spoke without any shame.

Chunxia looked at Weng Xiaoxiao with starry eyes, admiringly. This person's brain is really different from others. In just half a day, the master has learned foreign languages. Wow...

"You can buy whatever you like, but not too much, and definitely not too big to take up space."

Every day when they strolled around, they would always see something they liked. But when they were still unsure whether to go out to sea, Weng Xiaoxiao did not let them buy anything, because these material possessions were a burden.

"Is it really possible?"

Chunxia was very happy to hear her master's words. She liked these little gadgets very much.

Weng Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded. In fact, she also liked something, a Western pocket watch, a very exquisite mechanical watch.

She was used to checking the time, so she was overjoyed to see the pocket watch, but the price was a little too expensive, so she couldn't bear to buy it. Now that she had ordered the sweet potatoes, she had to use the remaining money to buy medicinal herbs, and she didn't dare to buy luxury goods.

I feel a little regretful.

I also wanted to bring some gifts for Feng Gu, but I only had a few taels of loose silver on me. I couldn't afford the expensive ones, and I didn't like the cheap ones, so I thought I'd better forget it.

"Take Kang Bao with you when you get back. She must want to buy something too. Ask Ping An to protect you."

"I can also protect Kangbao, no need to call him." The words were very firm, but the expression was a little weird.

Weng Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth, but she didn't say anything because she was afraid that the little girl would be shy. It would be better to let their budding feelings take their own course.

For Chunxia, ​​any man around her is more suitable than Tian Runze, and she is happy to see it happen.

Brother Tian will have the autumn examination in two months. I hope he can be on the list this time so that his life will be easier.

......

"Master, I bought a hundred kilograms of dried wormwood, fifty sachets of insect repellent, and a hundred kilograms of herbal tea. The summer heat is unbearable, and I heard it has good effects."

Well, there are two more boxes, and another carriage is needed.

"Buy some more oil paper to wrap the medicine. These things are most afraid of getting wet."

"Well, that's what the guy told him to do when he was packing."

It seems that he has made a lot of progress. Weng Xiaoxiao smiled and praised him.

"We also need to buy two sturdy carriages. Do you have enough money left?"

"I reserved it. We have three horses on hand, so we just need to buy two more cars."

This kid can really become her right-hand man after some training, and can be trained towards becoming the head manager without any worries, Weng Xiaoxiao thought with relief.

"You've been very thoughtful and have worked hard. If we can get everything ready today, we can set off tomorrow."

"I can buy the car back when I get out later. Brother Ping An has to help me. I can't get it back by myself."

"He hasn't come back yet?"

"I didn't see him. The empty wooden box has been sent back. I guess he went to dig somewhere."

"It's so tiring to carry it back. You bought a car and can use it to carry it. You can handle these small matters among yourselves. You don't have to wait for me to make the decision for everything. There are times when I can't think of anything."

Xiaokong nodded, thinking that his master's words showed his trust in him.

"Wait, go buy one more thing."

Xiao Kong was a little stunned after hearing this. Well, only the master doesn't avoid these things.

Both of them were efficient. We bought the car and brought back the required sand in the afternoon.

The box was placed directly on the car, and soil was poured into it until it reached 80% of the box's depth. The sweet potatoes in the flowerpots were transplanted into the box, and the sprouted sweet potatoes were also buried in the box, with the sprout exposed. Finally, water was poured thoroughly.

Boxes are most suitable for long-distance transportation and are easy to fix, so there is nothing to worry about even if they shake on the road.

This car is the biggest gain of this trip and it represents green hope.

The medicinal materials and luggage were loaded into another vehicle, but they were not simply placed directly on the vehicle. Instead, they were loaded into a small coffin.

That's right, a small coffin.

"Brother, I want to ride in the car that's loaded with boxes." Although it was empty, the coffin looked creepy and Kangbao was a little scared.

"what ever."

Weng Xiaoxiao smiled. Medicinal herbs are hot commodities, so she didn't dare to carry them on the road so blatantly.

Xiaokong and Ping'an were naturally the coachmen, Chunxia and Weng Xiaoxiao took turns riding the horses. They set off from Quanzhou early in the morning.

......

There were also disaster victims in Quanzhou City, but not in large numbers, and there were many job opportunities in the port, so anyone with a bit of strength would not starve. Therefore, most of the people who gathered outside the city were the elderly, the weak, women and children, and the government also built sheds for them and distributed porridge on a regular basis every day, so the city was relatively peaceful and not disturbed.

The journey was relatively smooth, but the closer we got to Yangzhou, the more horrific the scene became.

In the villages ravaged by the flood, houses collapsed and ruins were everywhere. Farmland was also severely damaged, many crops were submerged, fertile soil turned into quagmire, and farmers' hard work for a year was destroyed.

Although the water level in the river has dropped, it is still turbid and the current is fast, making people dare not approach it easily.

Everywhere you can see disaster victims carrying the elderly and children, some want to return home, and some have nothing left at home and want to flee...

They had one truck loaded with wooden boxes and another truck carrying coffins. No one wanted to get close, so it saved a lot of trouble.

However, the roads were bumpy and difficult to travel on, and the weather was hot, so the daily rest time became longer and longer, and the distance traveled became shorter and shorter.

Clean water sources are hard to find. Only occasionally can we find some well water, which must be boiled before drinking. Dirty water is a source of disease, as Weng Xiaoxiao had specifically warned us about.

Every time I make a big pot of herbal tea, I will give a bowl to any disaster victims passing by. Every bit of help counts.

However, the journey was difficult, and they did not dare to cook, fearing that they would attract too much attention and be targeted. They could only drink water and eat biscuits for each meal, and even this had to be carried by someone.

In this way, we arrived in Yangzhou City in early July.

The city gates were no longer tightly closed, but entry into the city was strictly checked.

There are some refugees outside the city, but not many in number. Those who see no hope have long since left their homeland. The elderly and weak left behind have no other options. It is difficult for them to stay or leave, and they can only endure their days helplessly.

Weng Xiaoxiao and his group had a pass, paid the entrance fee, and entered the city smoothly.

There should be no flood in the city. The streets are as neat and clean as usual, and there are still crowds of people on the streets, but it seems that there is less noise and there is more sadness on people's faces.

They pulled the coffin and moved along unhindered, as no one would obstruct such a vehicle.

The door of the Weng Mansion was closed, Chunxia jumped down, pushed the door open, and ran in shouting to report the news. She was fed up with the dullness and depression along the way, and she couldn't bear to see it but couldn't help.
