Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

After being outside for most of the day, I just found a noodle shop for lunch. The noodles didn't have any sauces in them, so they tasted a little lacking.

On the fourth day in ancient times, Qin Bingrui had completely accepted his current identity.

Now he has a considerable amount of silver notes in his hand. He needs to stock up on a few boxes of supplies to take with him on the road, and also spend money to buy a few big horses to pull the carriage. He also needs to find accommodation and food along the way. Especially since Xia Liang can spend one or two taels of silver on food a day, there are really a lot of places to spend money.

During this period of time, he still has to go back and serve customers properly, making as much money as possible.

It would take about two months to build the crossbow alone, and it might not even be usable smoothly. He would have to wait until the weapon was completely usable before he could leave.

I hope I can find Sister Luo Yu successfully in these two months.

Qin Bingrui would deliver food to Xia Liang on time at the beginning of the morning hour every day, but he no longer rented a carriage. Instead, he ran there carrying two wooden boxes weighing more than 20 kilograms, saying that it was to train his muscles and enhance his physical fitness.

In the present world, he runs at least 20 kilometers every day, and if he encounters zombies, he has to fight for several hours. If he travels back to ancient times, his physical fitness cannot be reduced.

Xia Liang was not feeling well either. Although someone brought her food, it was too boring to be in the mountains. She either ate or slept every day. Even if she wanted to find a few animals to chat with, they would scatter when they saw her.

It’s not easy to be the king of the mountain!

After a few days, there was finally movement in the palace. The white tiger sent by the foreign envoy ran away. The emperor was angry and amused. Although the white tiger was said to be evil by the people, it was not safe to let it go. So the emperor ordered the Imperial City Bureau to capture the white tiger alive.

Ye Yucheng, the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Division, followed orders and led thirty masters of the Imperial City Division to Hengling to search for the White Tiger.

Qin Bingrui had just finished delivering the meal to Xia Liang and was walking to the gate of Hongxiang Pavilion when he saw Zhu Jinyou getting off the carriage.

Master Zhu was not surprised to see Miss Ling Hong dressed in men's clothing. He simply greeted her and said, "Miss Ling Hong, would you like to go hunting white tigers with me?"

"what?"

"The girl should be quite skilled. With these hidden weapons, you won't lose too badly."

After saying that, Master Zhu handed Qin Bingrui a set of hidden weapons wrapped in leather.

Qin Bingrui took it and took a look at it. It was no different from the meteor darts used in the present world, and the Ice Soul Divine Needle was even more similar. He only needed to find someone to make a set of protective gear for hidden weapons to protect his wrist.

"Thank you, Master Zhu. I only deal with those who have wronged me. The White Tiger hasn't hurt anyone, let alone wronged me. I don't want to deal with it."

"The Emperor needs to capture the White Tiger alive. No one dares to harm it. Why don't you join me in the fun? If we catch it, the Emperor will definitely reward us handsomely."

"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

Xia Shi couldn't help sneezing and walked into the deep mountains and forests.

Along the way, Qin Bingrui was playing with the meteor darts in his hand, and Zhu Jinyou could see that he loved these things more than anything else.

After knowing Miss Ling Hong for a long time, Zhu Jinyou wished for the first time that this girl was a man, so that they could at least be good brothers.

"By the way, Master Zhu, how are you going to capture the White Tiger alive?"

"We have a special Ma Fei San. We can set a trap and let it fall into it, then feed it the Ma Fei San."

"I see."

Qin Bingrui heard Xia Liang talk about the feeling of waking up, and it seemed that the previous Baihu died from taking too much Ma Fei San.

This Ma Fei San is something that can harm people.

"Girl, what do you think? Why don't you tell me?"

"My master once taught me and my sister some animal language, but I didn't learn it very well, and my sister is much better than me."

"So you mean we can catch the White Tiger as long as we find your sister?"

"But there's no news from my sister. I only know that she might be in a state capital in the north."

In order to protect Xia Liang from being persecuted by Ma Fei San, he had to betray his sister temporarily.

"What does your sister look like? What's her name? Perhaps I can help you find her."

Qin Bingrui pretended to be lost in thought, and after a while he said, "We were only 13 years old when we separated, and my sister was only half a year older than me. I guess people always change when they grow up.

But my sister’s name is Luo Yu, Qin Luo Yu. Even if she changed her name, she would know that I was looking for her.”

"Why, don't you have the same last name?"

"My last name used to be Qin. I was sold many times and changed my last name several times. Ling Hong was my nickname in Hongxiang Pavilion."

"I'm sorry for being so rude just now."

Qin Bingrui smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, you are too polite. Actually, it doesn't matter what I call you. You can just call me Miss Ling Hong from now on."

The guards driving the carriage outside the carriage were obviously quite skilled. Although Master Zhu was dressed in gorgeous clothes, he was sitting upright without moving at all. This was a common practice for martial artists.

Together with the thirty-one masters of the Imperial City Bureau, Xia Liang is likely to be in great danger.

If Qin Bingrui had not dreamed of this crusade in advance, Xia Liang would probably have been captured and taken to the palace to become an ornamental monkey in the zoo.

At this moment, Xia Liang headed straight for the forest in the east. Why didn't she go towards the palace? Wouldn't that be a trap? Now she could only hide for half a month and wait until this group of people were completely gone before she went back to find Brother Qin Bingrui.

But along the way, she suffered countless hardships.

It was not easy to go up the mountain to defeat the white tiger. Although the guards were very skilled in martial arts, they were not as agile as animals in moving through the forest. They searched for a long time but could not find any trace of the white tiger.

Qin Bingrui knew the direction Xia Liang was going, but he led everyone towards the back of the palace.

If I'm not mistaken, she dreamed about the scene in the palace at four o'clock in the morning. Could it be that Sister Luo Yu was there?

She wasn't sure, so she just told Xia Liang to go back to the forest behind the palace and wait after a while.

If we lead this group of people into this forest to explore without any trace, they will probably not come back again in the next ten days or so, and they will definitely explore in the east direction.

After hiding for half a month, the guards still found nothing. Qin Bingrui also followed Master Zhu and his guards up the mountain several times. After confirming again that the white tiger disappeared through the eastern mountains, everyone gave up completely and prepared to go back to report to the emperor.

On the second day, Qin Bingrui continued on his way only after knowing that there were no guards on the mountain. He foresaw the location of the White Tiger in his dream. Although Xia Shi was the weakest among the three in terms of fighting power, she was the most clever. After she dressed up as the White Tiger, she made full use of this advantage.

After searching for half a day, she finally found Baihu. Xia Liang was obviously much thinner than in the previous half month.

"Xia Liang, didn't you go hunting?" Qin Bingrui fed her while cleaning her hair. Her hair, which was originally white with black spots, had become turbid and had a strong smell of tiger.

"I'm so busy looking for food every day that I don't have time to clean my hair. Besides, there's nothing to eat. You know I'm most afraid of eating living things, especially small animals. They are so cute."

"So what did you eat to get through this?"

"Of course I climbed trees and ate wild fruits. They were sour and astringent. In April (Lunar calendar), the fruits were not yet ripe and tasted terrible."

"..."

The tiger can climb trees, swim, catch and hunt small animals, and its strength is extremely high, but it doesn't want to be used by Xia Liang to climb trees and eat wild fruits.

"If no guards come looking for you in the mountains recently, I will continue to bring you food. If the guards come again, you will run away as soon as you hear any noise, okay? Don't eat the free meat or something like that outside."

"Brother Bingrui, is there any news about Sister Luo Hong? Is she okay?"

Qin Bingrui rolled his eyes and said: You should worry about yourself when you have no food to eat.

"After a while, go to the forest behind the palace and keep watch. Don't let anyone find you."
