On the way to escape from natural disasters: She went crazy with space

Lu Qingqing lowered her head and handed over the certificate. The officer Chen Shu took the certificate and glanced at it, then asked in a serious tone:

"Is there anyone else from your family in the village?"

"And my sister."

"Where are your parents?"

"Mom left a long time ago, and Dad is out doing work and hasn't come home yet."

Lu Qingqing lowered her head slightly, but her back was straight. She answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, unlike the others who were timid and could not speak clearly when they saw the soldiers.

Chen Shuo took a closer look at her. The girl had a pale face and thin body, but her eyes were surprisingly bright and big, as dazzling as obsidian!

It's just a pity!

She is a disaster victim who is about to go to Chongzhou City to make a living. It is unknown whether she can survive the 3,000-mile journey.

Chen Shuo sighed without leaving a trace, then handed the certificate back to Lu Qingqing.

"You can't leave the village and come back for more than three hours, otherwise your sister will be handed over to our superiors for punishment!"

"Okay, sir." Lu Qingqing carefully put away the certificate.

Chen Shuo saw her movements and reminded her, "Hurry up and take the official road instead of the side roads. There have been bandits rampant on the side roads recently."

Lu Qingqing found that he was more humane than other officers and soldiers, and she also secretly glanced at him again.

The officer was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with regular features, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked like a righteous man.

Lu Qingqing hurriedly thanked him: "Okay, thank you, sir."

It takes about an hour to go back and forth from Muyang Village to the nearest market.

Lu Qingqing walked quickly and arrived at the market in less than half an hour.

When we got there, we found that there were only a few businesses open on the street.

There was no one at the mobile stalls on the ground.

The spread of famine and the shortage of material resources not only caused the price of goods to increase twentyfold, but also the shop rents to increase twentyfold. Many merchants closed their shops early because they could not afford the rent.

The businesses that can still afford to open their businesses now all use their own properties and are able to survive by not having to pay rent.

However, there are fewer and fewer rich people, and they won’t be able to hold on for much longer!

Lu Qingqing looked for many pharmacies before she found one that was open.

"Boss, give me three doses of cold and wind-repelling medicine..."

"The medicine is very expensive." Before Lu Qingqing could finish her words, the shopkeeper glanced at her tattered clothes and interrupted her coldly, telling her to continue.

Lu Qingqing took out a tael of silver and put it on the counter:

"Just catch me. I have money."

There were eight taels of silver in the house, which was earned by her father from escorting a caravan. There were originally ten taels. Those two bastards Lu Dafu and Lu Dagui took advantage of her and Yaoyao not being at home and came in to steal two taels and ran away.

Fortunately, Lu Qingqing never put the silver in the same place, otherwise it would have been stolen without a single ounce left.

Today, Lu Qingqing brought out all the silver, and planned to turn the eight taels of silver into supplies and store them in the space.

When the shopkeeper saw Lu Qingqing take out the silver that was shining with white light, his attitude was as friendly as if he had met the Bodhisattva Guanyin who had descended to the earth.

"Girl, take a look at what herbs you need. I'll get them for you right away."

"Three doses of medicine for typhoid fever and wind evil, three doses for sprains, wolfberry, astragalus, dried ginger slices, mugwort, tangerine peel, cassia twig, cinnamon bark, black beans, bitter almonds... I'll take as many as you have?" These are all medicinal herbs for replenishing qi and blood and dispelling cold.

Lu Qingqing's mother was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and was a barefoot doctor. Influenced by her mother since childhood, Lu Qingqing also knew a little about medicinal materials and pharmacology.

They were going to Chongzhou City, which was three thousand miles away. According to their walking speed, it would take more than eight months to get there even if they walked fast. If they walked slowly or encountered something delayed on the way, it would take one year and three months, or even longer.

In other words, they have to spend spring, summer, autumn and winter on the road before they can reach Chongzhou City!

In her previous life, Lu Qingqing didn’t even live to see the day when she set out on the journey, so she didn’t know what the weather would be like along the way.

In the pictures she saw, she also saw very bad weather, such as freezing snow and scorching heat.

I wonder when the snow will come?

Lu Qingqing could only plan ahead and prepare a little bit of everything and put it in space just in case.

The shopkeeper was very efficient and quickly packed up all the herbs that Lu Qingqing wanted. He spent a total of two taels of silver and bought away most of the herbs in the shop.

Lu Qingqing carried several heavy bags of medicinal herbs and walked quickly towards an alley. She looked around for a while and didn't see anyone passing by, so she quickly put the herbs into the space and hid them.

At this time, Lu Qingqing was surprised to find that several shelves suddenly appeared in the space, and all the medicinal materials were classified and placed on the shelves, and the names of various medicinal materials were thoughtfully marked!

This space is so humane.

After buying the medicinal herbs, Lu Qingqing rushed to the cloth shop to buy some cloth so that she could make her own clothes when the weather got cold!

When the proprietress saw Lu Qingqing’s dirty facial features, she immediately covered her mouth and nose and cursed:

"Where did you come from, you stinky beggar? Go away and don't interfere with my business!"

She was the only cloth shop in the entire market. When she was called a beggar, Lu Qingqing said in a gentle voice:

"I'm not a beggar. I'm here to buy cloth."

The proprietress looked up at the sky and said, "The cloth is very expensive. Do you have any money?"

"How much is one?"

"One ounce of silver per horse."

Lu Qingqing:!!!

She was prepared for it to be expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive!

Before the famine, one tael of silver could buy five sets of good quality adult clothes.

In the Yan Dynasty, a set of clothes for an adult cost about 250 coins, and for a child it was 50 coins.

Cloth was cheaper, costing only a hundred coins for one piece of cloth, and one piece of cloth could make one set of clothes for an adult, and the leftover scraps could also be made into a set of clothes for a child.

This is the price before the famine!

After the famine, a piece of cloth cost one tael of silver, and an adult's clothing cost more than three taels of silver!

I can’t afford it, I really can’t afford it!

"Hey, are you going to buy it or not?"

Seeing that Lu Qingqing was staring at the cloth without saying anything, the old lady urged coldly.

"can not afford."

"Poor bastard!"

The proprietress cursed at Lu Qingqing's back.

Swear!

Now every village is guarded by soldiers, and the victims dare not act too recklessly. When the victims set out for Chongzhou City, although the soldiers will escort them for a while, they will eventually withdraw accordingly.

By then, no one will care about the victims, and the shops that are still doing business in the market will become popular among the victims!

Stealing things is a minor matter, but if someone dies during the robbery, the real problem is!

Unable to afford cloth, Lu Qingqing went to buy rice and flour!

When Lu Qingqing saw the prices of rice and flour, her eyes started rolling in shock again!

The price of rice and flour is the same, three hundred coins per pound.

Lu Qingqing still had six taels of silver in her hand, all of which she used to buy flour and rice, but she could only buy twenty kilograms.

Twenty kilograms of rice, based on the fact that she and Yaoyao usually eat until they are 70% full at a meal, can only barely last for twenty days!

Lu Qingqing, with silver in her hand, also wanted to curse!

Just then, she had an idea and thought of a solution.

Lu Qingqing looked at the boss and said, "Boss, I'd like to trade taro for rice. Do you want to do that?"

"What did you say?" The boss Chen Chao was a little hard of hearing and didn't hear clearly.

Lu Qingqing put her hands in the cloth bag and pretended to take out two potatoes and put them in her palms:

"Would you like to exchange this for rice?"
