The real daughter is really not a human being

After going on a caravan trip, the two of them paid a deposit together and set a date for departure, which was two days later.

Previously, Sun had come directly from her hometown with someone else, and she didn't have enough preparations, so she only had a bag. Now that she had more money, Sun naturally wanted to prepare some things.

"Yaoguang, let your aunt buy you two sets of clothes!" said Sun.

The little girl grew taller and taller. Sun noticed that Yaoguang's sleeves were a little short. She had enough money at the moment, which was earned by Yaoguang herself, so it would be perfect to buy her two sets of clothes.

clothing?

Yaoguang shook her head when she heard this, "Aunt, I don't want clothes, can I buy something else?"

Sun was puzzled and happy. It was rare for her niece to want something, so she naturally agreed.

A moment later, Yaoguang took Sun to the blacksmith shop.

She asked the blacksmith there to make a custom iron pot. She also brought the axe she had at home and asked the blacksmith to hammer it for her.

But after paying the money, Sun was a little unwilling and asked, "Is this all you bought?"

Don’t little girls buy some clothes and things to dress themselves up? Sun saw that the little girls in the village loved to dress themselves up, and many of them saved money to buy cosmetics to dress themselves up.

Yaoguang thought: "Then I'll bring some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in a few days, so it will be convenient for cooking."

As for other things, Yaoguang can’t think of anything that can’t be used on other roads for the time being.

Seeing this, Sun had to give up.

On the day when the two were to set off, Zhao Yan got up early in the morning and reluctantly sent them to the door of the Chamber of Commerce. He then watched Sun and Yaoguang follow the convoy out of the city.

He stood at the city gate with so much emotion that he almost cried!

Goodbye, Miss Yaoguang!

Goodbye, his meal!

Seeing Zhao Yan so sad, the people around him who were unaware of the situation thought that he was seeing off his relatives, and secretly sighed in their hearts that this scholar was a very sentimental person.

It would take the caravan two months to travel all the way north to the capital. If they encountered something along the way and delayed their journey, it might take even longer.

Because there was enough money in the bag, Yaoguang and Sun directly spent five taels of silver to rent a donkey cart from the Chamber of Commerce.

The donkey was not pulling a horse-drawn carriage, but a cart. It was exposed to the wind, heat and sun, and it was not a comfortable ride.

Sun mentioned that the sun made people dizzy.

Yaoguang immediately cut some bamboo from the roadside, cut it into thin strips, and made a parasol for Sun. When the sun was strong, she could just open it and it was very firm when inserted into the donkey cart.

Mrs. Sun was naturally very happy that her niece was so sensible.

Many people in the caravan had started families and careers. Seeing how filial Yaoguang was, they couldn't help but think of their children and grandchildren at home. Their hearts softened and they took good care of the two of them. They walked like this for four or five days.

Yaoguang and Sun ate dry buns brought from Chizhou City. When they were thirsty, they drank water boiled in an iron pot. They were not considered outstanding in the wild.

However, in the carriage at the front of the convoy.

A man lifted the carriage curtain and took a look at the scene outside. Groups of mountains rose and fell, like a giant snake winding forward. The team walked in a line on the wide loess road in the forest, forming a long line, just like ants moving house.

"What place are we in? Why haven't we reached Guanquan County yet?" asked a thin man.

"What's the hurry? It's still early! We still have to go for several days!"

"How can I not be anxious? The account book showing the 200,000 yuan of disaster relief money embezzled by Yuchuan Prefecture is right there! The sooner I get the account book, the sooner I can feel at ease!"

"Why are you so relieved even though you got it? It's uncertain whether we can deliver the account books back to the capital safely! You should think about your own life first!" Another person responded, and lowered his voice unconsciously, for fear that he would speak too loudly and be heard by others.

"Of course I cherish my life! This time I asked the master for thirty elite warriors with high martial arts skills, but they didn't expect me to agree! They said that if we brought too many people, we would be easily discovered once we passed the checkpoint. They only gave us ten people and forced us to blend into the caravan! To sneak into the capital! Ouch!"

"The Yin family lost their account books, so they must be very anxious! They must have sent a lot of people to wait for us on the way to Beijing! The only way to avoid their inspection is to disguise ourselves carefully!"

"Don't I understand this? But if something goes wrong, how are we ten going to escape with the account books?"

"You haven't got the account book yet, so don't worry about it for now. Let's get the account book first."

Yaoguang and Sun were sitting at the rear of the carriage. They had no idea what the people in front of them were saying, nor did they know that their journey to the capital was filled with dangers.

Yaoguang counted the dry food in her bag and thought it would last for a few days.

When they went to the Chamber of Commerce, the owner of the Chamber of Commerce told her that the carriage would pass through many towns and small villages in the countryside along the way, so they didn't need to bring too much food.

The south is humid, and it is not easy to bring too much flour on the road, which will easily cause moisture and mold. In addition, it is not easy to make a fire and cook on the road.

So before setting off, Yaoguang made a big pot of steamed buns and brought them with her. When it was time for dinner, she would steam and heat them up.

The steamed buns had been eaten long ago. If the remaining dry food was also eaten, she would have to consider going hunting in the woods and catching some animals to cook.

But before Yaoguang could take action, they arrived at Guanquan County.

The guards guarding the city collected two cents from each of them as an entrance fee and let them in.

When a caravan passes through a town, they usually choose an inn to stay overnight, which not only keeps the price down but also makes it convenient for everyone to travel together.

Yaoguang and Sun asked for a guest room. Yaoguang also asked the innkeeper to borrow the kitchen.

The shopkeeper was a strong man in his thirties, with broad shoulders and a strong waist. After hearing what Yaoguang said, he stepped forward to take a look, thinking that the people in this caravan must have a lot of money, so he said, "Cook! There are so many things in my kitchen! Money, rice and salt all cost money, so I'll charge you thirty coins!"

When Sun heard that it would cost thirty cents, her eyes widened immediately!

Why does it cost so much money to just borrow a pot and some firewood?

Sun immediately bargained with the shopkeeper.

While the two men were bargaining, a man in the convoy hurried out of the main entrance of the inn.

But the shopkeeper was determined and refused to give in. Seeing that Sun was extremely angry, Yaoguang said, "Aunt, it's okay. We have a pot. Let's go outside to cook!"

The shopkeeper snorted coldly after hearing this and said coldly: "Stay away from my inn, don't burn it down!"

Sun glared at the shopkeeper helplessly and was taken out of the inn by Yaoguang.

There are not many shops in Guanquan County. There are only a few shops on the main street, so it is not very prosperous.

Yaoguang looked around and picked a deserted spot under a tree and placed her pot there.
