I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

However, it doesn't matter if there is a suitable place along the way, just stay there. It is better than staying where you are and waiting to die.

Shen Ying gave the tea bowl to her mother, and she went behind the curtain to ask, "Fellow villager, this tea is good, I wonder if you sell it individually."

The water quality is not good, and this tea can only suppress it.

Although it is not expensive, it does not become bitter after being soaked for a long time.

She has never known how to appreciate tea, but in her personal aesthetic, good tea is one that tastes good and is easy to drink.

Therefore, even though it was cheap tea brewed in a copper pot, she was still tempted to buy it.

"Ah, this tea is grown from the tea trees in our village. It has broad leaves. It is very fragrant after being roasted at home. It is also very refreshing and thirst-quenching when brewed into tea. If sold separately, a bag costs ten cents."

He pointed to a few big trees not far away and said, "That's it. Only our village has this kind of tree. But there are not many this year. I don't have many at home. Do you need any, young lady?"

Shen Ying looked over as directed, Huh?

This tree is much taller than her. Is it a tea tree?

She had previously done tourism promotion shooting in Wuyi, and at that time she also learned to pick tea. Tea trees don’t look like this.

Aren’t tea trees all about knee-high and round in clusters?

Perhaps, what I saw was just a certain type of tea tree.

"Then I want ten bags." Shen Ying paid the money and checked the quality of one bag of tea. It was indeed good, with very little brittle residue and it smelled very fragrant.

After putting the ten bags of tea on the carriage, Shen Ying simply took a walk nearby and found a few children walking from the village to the entrance, looking at the group of people curiously.

When he saw Shen Ying and the others, he kept pointing and talking about something.

“So many people are coming again.”

"They're not fierce, they're dressed like us."

"Look at that woman, she's so fat, her family must be very rich."

Shen Ying pretended not to see that they were pointing at her.

She has measured herself and now she is 1.65 meters tall and weighs 132 kilograms.

She is definitely not thin, but she is not fat enough to look rich either.

If these people saw me weighing about 160 pounds more than a month ago, wouldn't they kneel down and call her a rich woman?

But more than one group of people passed by here?

Shen Ying waved her hand and called a child over. "Did other teams pass by here recently?"

"Yes, there are also carriages and dozens of people. Where are you all going? It's been a long time since we have so many people riding and pulling horses passing by here."

"Oh, then when you saw them, were there any tall and fierce uncles, and were there any carrying knives?"

"I didn't see a knife, but there was a really vicious person."

"Okay, thank you." Shen Ying gave the child a piece of rock candy as a thank you for his answer.

As for the child's question, she did not respond.

Perhaps because the Shen family set out early, they rarely encountered other teams along the way.

But Shen Ying only knew about the Xu family, and Shen Youtian also said that some wealthy families had left the town.

Now after hearing what the kid said, it seems that it is still okay to go straight.

Then let's just follow the main road and take it one step at a time.

The Shen family drank tea, refilled their water, and asked if there was any town ahead.

"In three hours, there is a small town."

Shen Youtian said that they would stay in that small town tonight.

"Let's go." Shen Youtian shouted, and the Shen family continued their journey.

Shen Ying sat in the carriage, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether it was better to sit in the carriage and sway, or to walk on the road and be exposed to the sun.

After a while, he simply put on a straw hat and went out to sit on the shaft of the cart.

Now there are two more animals in the family and some supplies have been consumed, so the women and children all ride in the cart, and the men in the family basically just pull the cart.

Shen Ying learned the basics of driving a car after studying for more than half an hour. As long as the road conditions were not bad, she could basically control the car to move forward, stop, go left, and go right.

Driving by oneself was more comfortable than staying in a carriage, so Shen Ying insisted on driving the carriage all the way.

After three hours of rapid march, we finally saw a small town.

To call it a town means it is a little bigger than a village and it doesn’t even have city walls.

The people walking nearby also looked depressed.

The appearance of Shen Ying and his group attracted some attention.

This time, the family was reluctant to stay in an inn. Since there were no city walls, it would be the same wherever they stayed, so they found an open space to rest.

Someone came over and started chatting with the Shen family in a familiar manner.

"Where are you from, old man? You seem to have a family with you. What's wrong in the north?"

Mr. Shen still used the same excuse, saying that his family had become rich and he wanted them to go and join him.

"That's great, a big family is good. Look at your family, it's also very prosperous."

Mr. Shen liked to hear this and started chatting with the other party happily.

After listening for a moment, Shen Ying recognized the other person's identity.

Local middleman.

How to put it, it is the same as the intermediary in modern society.

However, nowadays, middlemen even provide slave trading.

He probably thought the Shen family was a wealthy one and wanted to try to promote the business.

The Shen family are all honest farmers. They would never think of buying a pretty young lady or a hardworking cook or sweeper. For a moment, their words revealed the embarrassment unique to the poor facing another social class.

Shen Ying wasn't interested either. She told her family that she was just going for a walk nearby, then got up and left.

She still only ate half a piece of bread in the evening. Her family thought that she was in a hurry to travel and was not used to the weather, so she ate so little.

In fact, she should eat less so that she can have more snacks.

So, after going into the alley and finding no one around, Shen Ying entered the space.

She wanted to eat noodles today, so she went upstairs along the escalator and chose a noodle shop, which was a franchise of a foreign brand. The kitchen was full of noodles cooked on an assembly line, and various cooked side dishes were served.

Shen Ying boiled two taels of noodles for herself, added any side dishes she liked, brought out a big bowl, slurped it, took out a drink from the freezer beside her, and used ice cubes from the refrigerator in the kitchen, and drank it together. It was so refreshing.

The heat from the sun all day long seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

After eating, Shen Ying took a quick shower, changed her clothes, and returned to reality.

She kept two identical sets of clothes ready for moments like this.

Shen's mother watched her closely, and since she was away from home, she couldn't leave for long at a time, and half an hour was almost the limit.

She walked towards the entrance of the alley, but after taking only two steps, she heard the sound of someone running in.

Still two men.

Shen Ying didn't want to cause any trouble, so she looked around and saw that the back door of a yard in the alley was not locked. She slipped in and found it was a deserted yard, so she carefully observed the movements in the alley.

It was just getting dark and visibility was average, but the two tall men were still easy to spot.

They seemed to have a disagreement, but they cooperated tacitly and held the sack in their hands tightly.

Shen Ying blinked. That sack was moving all the time?
