Escape after crossing

Chapter 24: Inquire about information

There was only a lock but no key. Jiang Ziluo walked downstairs disappointedly. Not daring to delay too much, he took a general look at the space.

Jiang Ziluo was afraid that if time went on for too long, she would come home late and wouldn't be able to explain herself. She still had things to do.

Jiang Ziluo didn’t know whether she could hear outside in the space, but she still listened carefully for a while. When there was no sound, she went out again.

When he came out, there was no one there. Jiang Ziluo went to the livestock market, where there were all kinds of things for sale: chickens, ducks, geese, mules, donkeys, cows, horses, pheasants, rabbits...

Jiang Ziluo didn't know much about these animals, so she just looked at them and didn't plan to buy any. After looking around, Jiang Ziluo chose a cow and a donkey.

But she didn't understand, so she didn't buy it, and she didn't know if she had enough money.

Jiang Ziluo was not stupid. She didn't even ask. One reason was that since she was so young, it was impossible for her to tell her the real price.

One reason is that Jiang Ziluo didn’t know whether these animals were good or bad, so he just took a look.

She was thinking whether she should bring Jiang Runzhi to see him in the next two days, he should understand. But she didn't know what excuse to tell the villagers?

Jiang Ziluo was walking on the street while thinking about something. When she came to her senses, she was already not far from Ruyi Grain Store.

Jiang Ziluo decided to go in and take a look. The grain store traveled all over the country to buy and transport grain, so he would naturally be more informed. So he wanted to hear if there was any news.

But when Jiang Ziluo went in, Shopkeeper Bai was not there. The accountant looked and saw that it was the little girl from the father and daughter who had come to look for work a few days ago.

He did not embarrass Jiang Ziluo, but only told her that the shopkeeper was not in the store today. Jiang Ziluo did not stay any longer, and left the grain store.

Jiang Ziluo just took a look and found that there was still some grain in the grain store, just not much, and the price had not changed.

It seemed that no one had left yet. Jiang Ziluo didn't know where the rich people in Luocheng lived, so he wanted to go look for them.

After asking people on the street, I found out that the rich live in the south of the city, the poor live in the north, the academies and scholars live in the east, and the brothels and gambling houses live in the west.

The grain store, restaurant, inn, grocery store... these daily necessities are in the city. So Jiang Ziluo can go wherever he wants now.

Jiang Ziluo did not delay and went directly to the wealthy area in the south of the city. It was not far away. After Jiang Yangluo went there, he saw that the rich people were still there.

The gatekeepers and the maids and old women who were doing the shopping were coming in and out. Jiang Ziluo looked for a while and then left. He went to the butcher shop, saw the big bones, bought some and took them home.

He did not buy any other meat, but went to the grocery store and bought salt and sugar, and also bought some cloth for daily use.

I bought some fine cotton cloth to make underwear, and asked the boss for some scraps of cloth, and the boss also gave me some thread.

Jiang Ziluo left the cloth shop, found a deserted place, and put the things he bought into his space. Seeing that it was getting late, he stopped wandering around.

When Jiang Ziluo walked to the door of Huajianfu Restaurant, Manager Hong saw Jiang Ziluo at the door and called Jiang Ziluo to stop him.

"Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang."

When Jiang Ziluo heard someone calling "Miss Jiang", he looked towards the voice and saw Shopkeeper Hong.

He took two quick steps and came to Shopkeeper Hong. "Shopkeeper Hong, business is booming."

Jiang Ziluo still has a good impression of Manager Hong, regardless of whether he has any ulterior motives towards her?

There is no free lunch in the world. Although the prescription I gave him a few days ago was very good, Jiang Ziluo was very grateful that he could give himself so many benefits at this time.

So she came to Luocheng to get the news, but she didn't come to Huajianfu because she didn't want to cause trouble for Manager Hong.

"Miss Jiang, what brings you to Luocheng today?" Shopkeeper Hong looked at the little girl and thought highly of her.

Jiang Ziluo's mind was in turmoil for a moment. She was not familiar with this strange dynasty and she didn't even know what dynasty it was.

If she wanted to take her family away safely, she needed to prepare a lot, and she didn't know anyone else.

Looking at Shopkeeper Hong in front of him, he made a decision. "Shopkeeper Hong, can I have a word with you?"

Shopkeeper Hong invited Jiang Ziluo to the backyard. Jiang Ziluo looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he spoke first.

"Manager Hong, I won't say any more polite words. I came to Luocheng today to get some information."

"Miss Jiang, what information do you want to find out? Did you find it?"

"I have found out some information, but I still want to know more. I just don't know who to ask."

Jiang Ziluo needs to know more information before he can be sure to take the Jiang family away safely.

"Tell me about it, I will definitely tell you." Shopkeeper Hong would never have thought that a little country girl would ask him about such a thing.

"Shopkeeper Hong..." Shopkeeper Hong interrupted Jiang Ziluo before she could finish her words.

"We are not strangers. If Miss Jiang doesn't mind, just call me uncle."

Jiang Ziluo was not shy and said with a smile, "Then Uncle Hong, please don't call me Miss Jiang. Everyone in my family calls me Luoluo or Ziluo."

"Okay, Luo Luo, just ask whatever you want to ask!"

"Uncle Hong, how far are we from the northernmost point?" Jiang Ziluo only knew that he was in the north now, and had no idea how large the area of ​​this dynasty was.

Since you're going to bother someone, just ask clearly!

Just as Manager Hong said just now, he would tell Jiang Ziluo everything he knew. There was tea set on the stone table in the backyard.

The two sat down and talked for a long time, and no one came to interrupt them. It was not until Jiang Ziluo was about to leave that they realized it was already noon.

Manager Hong wanted Jiang Ziluo to eat before going home, but Jiang Ziluo refused because he was afraid that his family would worry.

Shopkeeper Hong asked the waiter to bring some snacks to Jiang Ziluo for her to eat on the way. This time Jiang Ziluo did not refuse. She thanked Shopkeeper Hong, then left Huajianfu and Luocheng.
