A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Now that the weather is hot, there are a lot more people strolling around the streets after dinner.

Zhang Yunyue sighed as she walked, "It's been a long time since we walked on the street at night. Let me think about it, this should be the first time we walk on the street at night. We always met during the day before."

Mo Yan thought of the Lantern Festival in Chengyang County, shook his head and laughed, "No, this is the second time, but you don't know the first time."

"Huh? Is this the second time? Then when was the first time? Tell me quickly, Ayan, when was the first time?" Zhang Yunyue tilted her head and asked curiously.

When Zhang Yunyue turned her head to look at Mo Yan, a little boy happened to run over and bumped into Zhang Yunyue.

"Hey, be careful, Yueyue."

Mo Yan hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yunyue's arm.

The little boy was knocked to the ground and started crying.

After Zhang Yunyue was supported by Mo Yan, he squatted down and helped the little boy up.

"Little boy, tell me, are you hurt?"

The little boy who was helped up looked at his sister in front of him, who was talking to him tenderly, and forgot about the pain and crying: "Sister, I'm not hurt. I'm sorry for bumping into you."

Zhang Yunyue wiped the tears from the little boy's face and said, "It's good that it doesn't hurt. Next time when you run, pay attention to see if there is anyone in front of you!"

"Yes, I understand, sister."

At this time, the little boy's parents also ran over.

"I'm so sorry, girl, did my child bump into you?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

"That's good, that's good, Xiaobao, hurry up and apologize to your sister." The woman hurriedly pulled Xiaobao to bow and apologize to Zhang Yunyue.

"Madam, no need, no need. Xiaobao has already apologized to me."

"Is that so? Then I won't bother you anymore, girl."

"Xiaobao, say goodbye to your sister."

Xiaobao raised his hand and waved to Zhang Yunyue: "Goodbye, sister."

"Okay, goodbye." After saying that, Zhang Yunyue also raised her hand and waved to him.

Wait until Xiaobao follows his parents away.

Zhang Yunyue asked again: "Ayan, you haven't told me yet, when did you see me at night? Tell me quickly, let me see if I remember."

Mo Yan smiled and said:

"Don't worry, just watch the road, I'll tell you right away.

It was during the Lantern Festival this year. I was also in Chengyang County at the time. On that day, I saw you and your family dining at Tianxianglou on the third floor. Although I hadn't seen you for two years, I still recognized you at a glance. Later, I saw you guessing riddles on the street. Do you remember that night there was a person wearing the same fox mask as you? That person also gave you a lantern with the image of Chang'e flying to the moon. "

Zhang Yunyue was surprised, her eyes widened, and she tilted her head to look at him: "You didn't give me that lantern, did you?"

Mo Yan nodded: "Well, actually I recognized you at that time, so I gave the lantern to you."

Zhang Yunyue smiled and said, "So it was you! The lantern is still in the house where I live in Chengyang County. I like that lantern very much. So, that lantern was the first gift you gave."

Mo Yan laughed softly and said, "Yueyue, it seems like what you said is right."

After saying that, the two continued to walk slowly forward.

At this moment, Zhang Yunyue felt her heart beating irregularly, but she felt very sweet in her heart.

Mo Yan suddenly said, "Yueyue, every Lantern Festival from now on, I will accompany you to watch the lantern festival and guess lantern riddles."

"Well, okay, then we have a deal. We will watch the Lantern Festival together every Lantern Festival from now on."

Thinking that they still had to travel for most of the day tomorrow, the two of them didn't hang around for too long and went straight back to the inn.

Mo Yan stood at the door of Zhang Yunyue's room and said, "Yueyue, go to bed early tonight. Ask the waiter to prepare some hot water for you to soak your feet and relieve your fatigue. We still have to travel tomorrow."

"Yeah, I know, you too, go to bed early."

After the two parted ways, Zhang Yunyue returned to her room and closed the door.

Seeing that her door was closed, Mo Yan turned around and went back to his room next door.

Rested for a night.

Everyone has regained a lot of energy from yesterday's journey.

Mo Wen ordered some food in the inn and prepared to set off after breakfast.

Zhang Yunyue: "Wen Xiang, buy some food like steamed buns at the inn, and then fill up some water, so that we can eat and drink on the way."

Liu Wenxiang: "Yes, Miss."

After breakfast, everyone continued on their journey.

Today, we only stopped twice on the road to replenish water and eat some buns and steamed buns.

He drove the carriage until about 3 p.m., when he arrived at the county seat of Nanshan County.

Everyone still found an inn in the county town to stay temporarily.

We plan to find a house to rent after we understand the situation in the county tomorrow. Otherwise, it would not be a good idea for so many people to stay in an inn all the time.

.....

Zhang Yunyue arranged for Li Da and the three Liu brothers to go for a walk on the street, to learn about the situation in the county and to find out where the dental clinic was.

Zhang Yunyue also strolled on the street with Mo Yan and his servant.

Zhang Yunyue looked at the people coming and going on the streets of the county town, and saw many people setting up stalls on both sides of the road to sell various things. She sighed, "I didn't expect Nanshan County to be so prosperous. It seems that the things they buy are quite complete."

Mo Yan: "After all, Nanshan County is so close to the capital. Some people who cannot afford to buy houses in the capital will buy houses in the counties surrounding the capital. Naturally, the counties next to the capital will have more wealthy people than other counties."

Zhang Yunyue nodded in agreement: "Ayan, what you said makes sense."

The four of them walked and stopped on the street, looking at the flow of people around them.

"Hash browns, sweet and fragrant hash browns. Hash browns, sweet and fragrant hash browns."

Several people stopped in their tracks when they heard the hawking of potato cakes, and at the same time, they smelled the sweet aroma of potato cakes.

"Hmm? This potato cake smells so good! I can even smell the sweetness faintly."

Mo Yan saw what she was thinking and said, "Well, it does smell good. Yueyue, let's go and take a look."

"Okay."

Then he took Zhang Yunyue's hand and went to the potato cake stall.

There were already several children and three or four adults standing in front of the potato cake stall.

Zhang Yunyue leaned in and sniffed it: "Ayan, the closer you get, the sweeter it smells."

The line finally came to Zhang Yunyue.

"Boss, I want four hash browns, all packed separately."

"Okay, wait a moment, girl."

The owner of the potato cake stall quickly packed four potato cakes for Zhang Yunyue.

As soon as Zhang Yunyue took the potato cake and was about to pay, Mo Wen paid the money.

Zhang Yunyue distributed one potato cake to each of Mo Yan and the other three.

Then he started eating too.

"Mm, Ah Yan, it's delicious, try it now."

Mo Yan also picked up the potato cake in his hand and started eating.

“Yueyue, it tastes really good.”

After Mo Wen took a bite, he kept praising the dish, saying it was "delicious" and "smells great".

The hash browns were not very big and were finished in a few bites.

After eating the potato cakes, the group continued to stroll forward.
