Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

When they arrived at the county town, the three of them drove the carriage to the human tooth market, picked out a black horse from a group of horses, and matched it with a carriage. The father paid the money and took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and gave it to his daughter. Bi Yue said, "Daddy, grandma gave me three thousand taels, which is enough."

"A poor family is a rich road. It's convenient to have more on hand. Take it and put it in your cabinet. You won't lose it."

Bi Yue couldn't stand her father's help, so she had to accept it. After saying goodbye to her father, she and Lu Xiaomai drove a horse-drawn carriage to start their travel life.

Bi Yue took out the blueprint and navigator and headed towards the final destination, the sea.

The first stop was Li County. It was already noon when we entered the county town. The county town was about the same size as Yuanshui County and there were people coming and going, so we found a small restaurant on the side of the road to eat.

There were many people in the store, all of them coming in for lunch, and there happened to be an empty seat. Biyue glanced around the store and saw the names of the dishes on the wall. She asked Xiaomai to order four dishes and two bowls of rice. After waiting for about ten minutes, the dishes were served: braised fish, fried pork with potatoes, egg and minced meat soup, and vegetables. After everything was served, the two began to eat. The food in this restaurant was very delicious, and they both thought it was good, so they bought another portion, put it in a lunch box, and put it in the car.

He also bought two trays of meat dumplings and steamed buns, as well as porridge from the bun shop next door. He packed them in his own food boxes and put them in the carriage. He then put both food boxes into his treasure bag in the carriage.

In the past few years, my points have already passed level 5, and level 6 is not far away. At level 5, I drew the Hundred Treasure Bag, Hundred Poison Pills, and Spirit Water Pearl. The system said that if you eat this Spirit Water Pearl, you can walk on the water as if it were flat ground, without any resistance. I ate it at that time, and tried it in the summer in the big river in the west. The effect was great. I was so excited that I fell asleep for a long time at night.

Over the past five years, I have accumulated a lot of good gifts from the birthday and Chinese New Year draws I received.

They immediately continued to move forward and took a rest on a lawn five miles outside the county town to let the horse eat something. They put a medium-sized stainless steel basin on the ground, poured primary spiritual spring water into it and let the horse drink. This was a 5-year-old black horse in good health. After drinking the water, the horse happily rubbed Biyue's little hand with its head.

When Lu Xiaomai saw it, she said, "Miss, this horse is very well behaved. Give him a name!"

"That's a good idea."

Then he said to the horse, "Hello, my name is Chen Biyue. You have seen the horse at home before. I named him Red Cloud. You look like a gentleman in black satin. I will name you Sun Chaser or Black Cloud. Which name do you like?"

"Both names sound nice, it's a bit difficult to choose."

"Haha...! Let me explain to you, <Black Cloud>, your hair is as smooth as silk and as shiny as black clouds. I came up with this name because the horse at home is called Red Cloud.

"Chasing the Sun" means that we two people and one horse want to chase the daylight and travel far away.

"Let me hear your explanation. I like the name 'Chasing the Sun'."

"Ok."

Biyue and Xiaomai rested for a while and then set off again. According to the map and navigation, they might not be able to catch up with the next county town, so they planned to rest for a night in Pingxi Town, which was the closest to the county town. After the horses drank the spiritual spring water, they ran without feeling tired.

We arrived at Pingxi Town at 5 pm in the afternoon. This town is bigger than Sishui Town. We were not in the mood to appreciate the scenery of the town. The key point was to find an inn. After searching all the way and asking a man in his thirties, we finally found an inn. This inn was not bad. It had three floors and should be the best inn in the town. There seemed to be a private school next to it.

Bi Yue went in and said she wanted to stay in the hotel. A waiter about sixteen or seventeen years old came over hurriedly. When he saw that they were two little girls, he was stunned for a moment. He thought: How could such a beautiful little girl go out with a maid without any elders to accompany her? I wonder if they are afraid of being abducted by human traffickers. He was thinking about it.

Seeing the waiter staring at them in a daze without saying anything, Bi Yue asked, "Hey! Are there any rooms available at the hotel?"

The waiter immediately came to his senses and replied, "Yes, yes, how many do you want?"

Biyue thought the waiter was a little silly. There were only two girls, so why did they need several rooms?

"One room. Bring the hot water to the room. This is a reward for you." After throwing a tael of silver into his hand, the waiter immediately took it, unable to stop smiling.

Xiaomai led the horse to the stable behind the inn and told the clerk who was in charge of the horses. The master and servant came to the upper room on the third floor. The waiter opened the door. Biyue went in and saw that the upper room was not bad. It was a small suite with two beds in two rooms, a table and chairs, and a place to wash. She opened the window first to get some fresh air.

It started to get dark outside the window, and the trees on the distant mountain opposite could no longer be seen clearly. People in the residential area around the downstairs began to light oil lamps, and the twinkling lights illuminated this quiet town.

Xiaomai made the bed and asked Biyue, "Miss, the doors and windows are closed so tightly, I wonder if the sheets on the bed are clean. Do you want to ask the store to change them?"

"Don't bother, just use our own and spread it on top." So he took out two sets of bedding from the locker and asked Xiaomai to change into them.

Xiaomai knew two years ago that her young lady was a fairy who could transform things. She admired her young lady the most in the family. Later, when they got familiar with each other, Biyue let her live in her room and ordered a 1.2-meter wooden bed for her in the outer room. They were master and servant in name but like real sisters in secret. Biyue also gave her a powerful pill, saying that this trip would definitely be dangerous, so she needed more strength and means of self-protection.

The waiter brought hot water. Biyue put the water in the locker first, took out the food that she had packed in the county town, put the food box on the table in the room, opened the box, and the food was still hot. They began to eat. After finishing the meal, they got out the water when they were ready to rest, washed up, and went to bed.

"System, how long will it take us to reach the beach by horse-drawn carriage?"

"It will take at least two months, and nothing can go wrong along the way."

"You're right. The journey is so long that some unexpected things are bound to happen. But I don't provoke others. If others offend me without knowing the consequences, I'm not afraid."

"You two little girls are not very old. If those people with bad intentions find out that you are driving the carriage alone without your elders by your side, they will definitely have bad intentions towards you. This journey will definitely be lively."

"Come one, pack one, come two, pack a pair. I'm a little tired today. I'm going to sleep. I've never been in such a hurry as today. Good night system!"

The next day, the two got up and Xiaomai asked the waiter to bring some hot water. After washing up, they took out porridge, buns and steamed buns. After eating, they went downstairs to pay the bill. Then they went to the stable in the backyard of the inn to get the horses, preparing to go to the next city.
