I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.
Chapter 19 Weather Forecast
As soon as the money was pushed over, the agent immediately said that he could think of a way. In the end, he helped Shen Ying choose the best horse for nine taels of silver, and also equipped it with a carriage frame and canopy, spending a total of fourteen taels.
Shen Ying looked at the tall and strong mule with envy and couldn't help but buy it. In an instant, she had two taels of silver left in her hand.
The agent helped drive the cart and also provided a cart of animal food. Shen Ying also bought new cloth to use as sheets and several pieces of oilcloth, and her hands were empty in an instant.
The money was spent in no time at all. It was really a waste.
But, it’s so cool!
Shen Ying brought a carriage and a mule back to the inn to meet up with everyone, which instantly shocked everyone.
No, you went out for a while, how come you brought back two animals?
Shen Ying did not hide her plans. "I have spent all the reward money I received. I will use this carriage, and I will use the mule to make a cart at home. This way, we don't need to use human power to pull it."
I'll lend you a mule, but you can't say that I'm monopolizing the carriage.
"Oh, right, someone is installing a shed for the carts at the horse market. Grandpa, uncle, why don't you all install sheds on the carts? Otherwise, if we continue to travel, it won't last long."
Mr. Shen looked at Shen Ying deeply.
This girl of mine seems to be carefree and generous, but in fact she has already drawn a line in her heart and has selfish desires.
It's different from before.
Is this because she is afraid that other people will get into her car?
"You're right, then let's all go and set off once everything is settled. How much did you spend on this mule?"
Shen Ying said two and a half taels.
Mr. Shen asked his wife to pay and gave Shen Ying three taels of silver. "You got the reward from the noble, it's your own ability. It's very generous to invite everyone to stay in the inn. You don't have to give me money for everything. If you have nothing in your hands, you will be unable to move forward. Keep it. Discuss with your family about what to buy next time."
Shen Ying readily agreed and took the three taels of silver.
The good old man didn't take advantage of his age to take her things.
After the canopy was installed, the Shen family noticed that there were guards approaching. They did not dare to stop and headed directly towards the city gate. After a brief search, they were allowed to pass.
As they watched the wealthy city behind them gradually shrink, the Shen family sighed.
The price of food in this city is relatively stable, and the people do not seem to be suffering. If they can settle down here for a period of time, it will not be considered far away from their homeland.
Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes, and who knew that the guards would not allow us to stay.
For a moment, everyone was a little confused. In the previous two days and one night, no one realized that they were fleeing from famine. Now that they had left Yongcheng where they wanted to stay temporarily, there was no bodyguard around them. Only the Shen family was traveling. The word "fleeing from famine" truly appeared in everyone's minds.
The random chirping of birds in the forest made everyone feel sad. They had been counting on the armed protection of the escorts along the way, but now the men took up sickles and placed machetes, hoes and other weapons in the most conspicuous position of the frame.
Shen Ying saw that my mother had also hidden a kitchen knife under the carriage: ...
It’s good that everyone has a sense of crisis, right?
The official road is a road that people have walked on for decades or even hundreds of years. It is a wide road that winds towards the next town.
Shen Ying was learning to drive. The carriage was at the front. She looked forward and there was nothing.
There are no people, no villages, and no road signs.
In the vast world scorched by the sun, only the Shen family were on their way.
At noon, the Shen family immediately stopped, found a place to shelter from the sun, and went to rest.
Shen Ying was still struggling with her hammock. After finishing it, she used the excuse of going to the toilet. As soon as she arrived at the mall, she went to the bathroom module of the home furnishings mall and filled a bathtub with water.
Afterwards, she picked out some sliced fruit, filled an ice cup with ice water, took off her clothes, and got into the bathtub to soak.
Oh my god, have some cool and juicy fruits and vegetables, and then take a sip of cool water to dilute the sweetness of the cut fruits. Only the coolness and dopamine sweep through the brain, making you feel completely comfortable.
After eating the fruit and drinking the water, Shen Ying changed her clothes, threw the dirty clothes into the dryer and washer, and returned to reality.
My skin, which had just felt comfortable, felt like it was about to peel when the outdoor temperature returned to 40 degrees.
However, Shen Ying felt much more comfortable and returned to the camp briskly. Everyone ate some dry food and went to sleep. Grandpa Shen was smoking a pipe at a distance, keeping the children warm.
Shen Ying found that Shen's mother was not asleep and was still holding on to her hammock. She walked over and asked, "Mom, do you want to try this too?"
Mother Shen sighed: "Next time you go to sleep, you can fix this hammock."
After saying that, he let go of her hand, leaving Shen Ying confused.
Could it be that someone is still thinking about the hammock she built? She has taught everyone how to make a hammock more comfortable to sleep in, and it's not like she keeps the technology to herself and doesn't tell others.
When Shen Ying lay down, she noticed a gaze.
I turned my head to check and found that my second cousin's wife, who was holding a baby, immediately lowered her head and coaxed the child in her arms.
Shen Ying curled her lips and said, "You'd better not want me to serve you for free, otherwise I'll have no place to stay in the future!"
We have just begun to escape the famine, so please don't try to be too extreme, okay?
When the Shen family was taking a nap, Qi Yanchuan and his group were not watched by the guards because of their small number, so they were thought to have left as well.
So after leaving the inn, I started looking for a courtyard to live in.
I just searched a few and the prices were all extremely high.
The Qi family also met the village chief's family who had said before that they wanted to visit relatives. They learned from them that more and more people would want to come to the city to escape the disaster in the future. If the Qi family did not have the money to directly buy a yard to settle down, it would be better for them to leave early, otherwise, their family would easily be kicked out in the future.
Qi Yanchuan sighed. Buying a yard would cost at least fifty or sixty taels of silver, which he didn't have at home.
But if my family needs to escape famine for a long time, I am afraid that the things we have prepared may not be enough.
So he sold 100 kilograms of good rice, exchanged it for silver, prepared some outdoor supplies, gritted his teeth and bought a mule, and slept in the traveling merchant's big bunk bed at night. He endured one night, and set off in a hurry the next day.
You can’t save money by not sleeping in a dormitory.
If you sleep on a large bunk bed, your life will be ruined.
If they delayed for one more day, they would not be able to catch up with the Shen family. Qi Yanchuan and his eldest brother took turns staying awake when they needed to sleep.
Three days later,
The Shen family finally passed by a big village and saw a tea stall.
The family rushed over quickly and scared the tea stall owner.
It’s no wonder that the Shen family was so hungry and thirsty. They hadn’t found any water for three whole days!
The bucket of water brought from Yongcheng was not enough to drink.
This is even if Shen Ying does not take up a share of the water. She said that if she bought more water bags to store water, the water would be almost finished the next day.
Look, the water has been cut off for half a day. How can I not go crazy when I see a tea stall?
Mr. Shen sat down: "Water, cold water, bring it all!"
Shen Ying at the side added: "I don't want hot tea. Please bring over any tea that can be drunk directly." Then she put a handful of copper coins on the table.
The tea stall owner then went to pick up a copper kettle and large coarse porcelain tea bowls. Each person drank three or four bowls before stopping.
Shen Ying took a sip and felt that the water quality was average, with a distinct earthy smell suppressed by the tea leaves. He thought to himself, it seems this is not a suitable place to stay.
Three hundred miles in radius, what exactly is the range?
We have been walking for five or six days in total, so we should be out of this range.
If only I had a cell phone, I could ask the weather forecaster if I could stop now.
