Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Half a day's drive? If we walk, we can reach Changzhou, as they say, in less than three days, right?

This is really good news for Luo Xiaoran.

It has been more than twenty days since Luo Xiaoran came to this strange world, and she has been on the road to escape famine.

The only two buildings he saw were the dilapidated temple he was in when he first arrived, and the run-down post station in the back where the riot had taken place.

We will be able to see the real ancient city soon. Luo Xiaoran is still looking forward to it~~

Wait! Post station!

"Bai Guifei's younger brother and sister", "suffered from the disaster victims", "her younger sister", "dressed in pink"······

The gossip that Luo Xiaoran heard while squatting in the toilet just now suddenly flooded into her mind.

Could it be that Concubine Bai’s brother and sister were the “Peach Blossom, Willow and Green” brother and sister who had been craving her chicken soup for three days and later caused the riot in the post station?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

······

The next day, at dawn, all the victims were still immersed in empty dreams, smacking their lips from time to time.

Good sleep, wonderful sleep, you won’t feel hungry when you fall asleep.

In the dream, there was meat and grain, and I could eat as much as I wanted.

The food he ate made him burp up into the air, and he could no longer bend over after that.

"Niu Dan, Niu Dan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, wake up, good boy, wake up!"

A sharp scream rushed into the sky, breaking through the sky, as if to wake everyone up.

This woman who was wailing desperately was the one who was holding her child and begging for food from Luo Xiaoran and her three companions when they were going down the mountain.

At this time, she was close to madness. "Niu Dan, wake up, your short-lived father is gone, and you are the only one left. You can't get into trouble again! Wake up!"

The victims who were awakened were either sitting or standing, but they all stayed where they were, staring at the woman numbly without saying a word.

Did the child starve to death? Or was he dying of starvation?

But they can't help much. They haven't eaten for a long time. Maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, they will also fall into a deep sleep.

Some of the victims simply turned over and continued to sleep without even raising their heads.

Another person is going to die? This is normal. People die every day on this road. They have seen too many of them.

The woman was still howling, “Please, everyone, does anyone have any food, just a little bit, please save my child!

I, Wang Cuihua, will repay his kindness even if I have to work like a cow or a horse in my next life! Please, save him!"

Qiu Niang looked over there and nodded to Luo Xiaoran who had already woken up, "Cai Cai, do you think she is lying again and wants to ask for something to eat?"

Luo Xiaoran was sorting out the dry food bag that had been used as a pillow all night. "It shouldn't be. The child is much thinner than before, and the woman is just a skeleton."

"Sister, are you calculating how long the food can last?" Little Xingchen ran towards Luo Xiaoran.

"Yes, we have to be more careful. We can't let our Chen'er go hungry later." Luo Xiaoran picked up little Xingchen, shook him a little, and found that he had lost a lot of weight.

Uncle Li also came over, yawning, "How many days will the dry food last?"

Luo Xiaoran gathered all the dry food and said, "About three days."

We can reach Changzhou just in time before the dry food runs out.

Depart immediately.

When passing by the mother and son, Luo Xiaoran grabbed two handfuls of fried rice and secretly put them into the hands of the mother whose voice had already become hoarse.

Her son is very well behaved.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of an adult who was observing the situation of the victims.

"Sir, let's set off as soon as possible before the disaster victims block the official road!"

"can."

After a cloud of dust, the horses carried away the group of tightly dressed men from last night, led by a handsome man in a moon-white gown.

There was a carriage following behind, and the wind blew up a corner of the curtain, revealing a piece of willow green cloth.

······

"Cai Cai, why do you eat less than usual today?" Qiu Niang became more and more concerned about Luo Xiaoran's behavior.

"Lose weight." Because I secretly gave away two handfuls of my fried rice.

Uncle Li became interested and asked, "What is weight loss?"

"Losing weight means reducing your food intake or increasing your exercise to reduce your body weight and look thinner."

When I get to Changzhou, I will definitely eat it all back, even the food I missed during the last three years of the last days and when I was fleeing from famine!

Qiu Niang couldn't believe it. Losing weight? Losing weight while fleeing famine?

Uncle Li and Xiao Xingchen were also confused.

After a while, Uncle Li said cautiously:

"Cai Cai, even though we only have three days of dry food, there is always a way out. If we really have no food to eat, the worst that can happen is that we go into the mountains and see if we can hunt some prey."

Don't starve yourself, what if a fight comes up?

I just didn’t eat enough for a day, it won’t affect my fighting ability.

The excuse of "losing weight" seems too lame, so let's change the subject quickly.

Luo Xiaoran carried the bag on the other shoulder. "I heard that we can reach Changzhou in three days. Do you know Changzhou?"

"Changzhou? That's the first provincial capital south of Kyoto. After passing Changzhou, you can go directly to Kyoto along the official road!" Qiu Niang exclaimed in surprise, and her busy and listless state after days of traveling was swept away.

Luo Xiaoran was also very happy, "That's great, then we can buy a carriage and all the necessary items in Changzhou City, and we don't have to walk to Kyoto by ourselves." If there were no more bandits who robbed carriages.

But normally, there should be troops stationed outside Kyoto, right?

Then the journey from Changzhou to Kyoto should be much safer.

"Ah, I know why Sister ate so little today. Are you thinking about having a big meal in Changzhou in a few days?"

Little Xingchen seemed to have discovered some big secret. She clapped her hands happily, and her dimples immediately appeared.

"Oh, you found me!" Luo Xiaoran pinched his little face.

"I wonder if Uncle Li's destination is also Kyoto?" Luo Xiaoran looked at the silent Uncle Li. He never revealed where he was going along the way.

"No, I may still have to continue heading north."

"Going north?"

"Yes, go north to the territory of King Yan."

"Is this Prince of Yan the emperor's younger brother?" I heard gossip about the emperor and his concubine yesterday, and today I heard gossip about the prince. I can update my information database again.

"No, the Prince of Yan is the youngest brother of the late emperor and the uncle of the current emperor."

Qiu Niang also interjected, "I often hear my husband mention His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.

Our Prince of Yan is a mature young man. He joined the army at the age of twelve, fought bravely, and made many military achievements. He kept the northern barbarians out of the northern border, which enabled Daliang to prosper for ten years without the suffering of war. "

······

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the clouds roll and disperse in the sky, and the long three days are finally spent in people's footsteps.

And Luo Xiaoran finally saw the first city she came to in this strange world - Changzhou.
