Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Qin Bingrui then paid the money and asked the tea stall owner about the nearest county town ahead, which was only about ten miles away. So he discussed with Luo Yu and decided to take Ling Yi's mother to the county town to find a family clinic for treatment first, and then return to help them find the bodies of his sister and maid who jumped into the valley.

When Bai Lingyi heard this, his eyes widened.

"Are you really willing to help us find the bodies of my sister and the maid?"

"Well, although the dead cannot be resurrected, they should be buried properly and have tombstones erected. This way, they can be reincarnated in peace instead of becoming lonely ghosts in the wild."

Bai Lingyi nodded vigorously, tears falling like beads from a broken string. The woman also wiped away her tears secretly. She thought that she would never be able to give her daughter a proper burial in this lifetime.

Under Luo Yu's arrangement, the woman Fang Yunjiao got into Qin Bingrui's carriage. In order to take care of his mother, Bai Lingyi also got in.

Qin Bingrui said, "Don't touch it casually. There are many traps inside."

After a while, the carriage arrived at the nearest gate of Tianbao County.

The problem is that Luo Yu cannot enter the city without a household registration pass.

As they were hesitating about how to get into the city, Qin Bingrui asked the mother and son, "Did you lose your household registration pass?"

Bai Lingyi poked his head out, shook his head, and said, "Luckily, my mother told me to hide everyone's household registration and travel permits in our underwear. Did anyone lose theirs?"

This child is really smart and understands things quickly.

Luo Yucai used the excuse that he was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring his household registration with him, but upon closer inspection, the reason seemed far-fetched.

After hearing this, Fang immediately understood what he meant.

"If Miss Qin can truly find my daughter's remains and bury them, Madam is willing to lend you my daughter's household registration temporarily. My daughter is already 15 years old this year, so she should be around the same age as you, and has a similar figure. If you don't mind, you can use my daughter's identity..."

"I don't mind, I don't mind. I hope Miss Bai's spirit in heaven can forgive me. I will definitely take good care of my mother and brother for her."

With the change of identity, there was suddenly a mother and a younger brother.

Bai Lingyi couldn't accept this sudden change for a while. How come his sister was alive again?

Thinking that her sister Bai Fengchu's body had not been found yet and they had sold her household registration in order to survive, tears filled her eyes again.

Fang wiped his tears with her hand and smiled to comfort him: "Men don't shed tears easily. We have been through such a difficult journey, but Yi'er didn't shed a single tear. Now that mother and Yi'er are saved, why are you still crying all the time?

If my sister knew that Miss Qin and the others had protected Mother and Yier, she would definitely feel relieved. Yier, from now on, Miss Qin is your biological sister, you must remember this."

Although it was a temporary borrowed identity, Fang naturally knew that Qin Luoqi's identity was not easy to expose. If he replaced him, he would definitely replace Bai Fengchu's life from beginning to end.

Although she was sad, she thought that it was all worth it as long as she could get Yi'er safely to the Fang family in Liangzhou City.

Bai Lingyi nodded with sobs, his eyes drifting into the distance through the carriage window, blank.

When we arrived in Tianbao County, we were surprised to find that we had to pay two cents to enter a small town, the same price as entering Muzhou City.

Fortunately, Qin Bingrui showed the seal of King Ning to the gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper did not dare to check the carriage any further and let it pass.

The people setting up stalls outside the city were extremely lively. No one was willing to spend two cents more to enter, and they just waited for people entering the city to buy some things.

When Luo Yu and his companions' carriage entered, everyone turned their heads and stared at the magnificent carriage as if they had seen something from outer space, thinking that some important person had arrived.

The fact that the carriage was driven by two women astonished everyone even more. Luo Yu thought that from now on, they would have to dress as men and wear a veil to cover their appearance. However, the white tiger and men were easily associated, and the two gangs chasing them were not easy to fool. So he simply dressed as women, at most wearing makeup and a veil to cover up.

After entering the city, Fang was first sent to the best medical clinic. The consultation alone cost ten cents, and the cost of prescriptions, application of medicines and bandages cost a total of ten taels of silver.

Luo Yu found an inn near the clinic, where each person had a superior room, which cost 120 wen per room.

After checking into the inn, Fang quickly relaxed and fell into a deep sleep in a short while.

Luo Yu thought that he had to wait until Fang's wound healed a little before he could set off, so he asked Qin Bingrui to purchase more medicines that would be used, such as wound medicine, Xianglian pills for diarrhea, Mafeisan, etc.

Bai Lingyi seemed redundant and asked Luo Yu cautiously, "Miss Qin, what can I do to help?"

"Call me sister, from now on I will be Bai Fengchu."

"Sister, I will find a way to return this money to you when we get to Liangzhou."

"I'm your sister now, why would I care about this little money? By the way, why don't you take a good rest today? How about we return to the place where you had the accident tomorrow to look for your sister's body?"

Because of Qin Luoqi's identity, Miss Bai and her maid were killed by robbers but they could not report it to the police, nor let anyone else know, so only the three of them could travel together.

But Xia Liang also wanted to join in the fun. Early the next morning, Luo Yu went to the clinic and asked an experienced aunt to take care of Fang. He only gave the aunt one-tenth of the deposit. If he wanted to get the rest, he had to wait until they came back.

Luo Yu finally had an identity, and she felt much more relaxed. Once she arrived in Liangzhou, she would have to find a way to get a new pass to Qianzhou, but she didn't know if that would be feasible.

Besides, when Luo Ye and Qin Bingrui took Bai Lingyi out of the city, the boy had a gloomy face and was not in the mood.

He refused to sit inside the carriage and insisted on sitting outside with Qin Bingrui.

Qin Bingrui asked him: "What's wrong with you?"

Bai Lingyi shook his head and said nothing.

Luo Yu understood his feelings, but had no intention of comforting him.

He just chuckled and said, "Xiao Yi, do you feel uncomfortable because I stole your sister's identity? Do you also feel that your sister is wronged? Do you think that if you report it to the police, maybe you can help your sister track down those bandits and get revenge?"

Xiaoyi blinked. Why did she call himself Xiaoyi? Except for his sister Bai Fengchu, his father and mother called him Yier. The word Xiaoyi made him want to cry again.

He finally shook his head, holding back tears and said, "I know it's useless to report it to the authorities. If it had worked, my mother, my sister, and I wouldn't have been kicked out of the Bai family after my father and grandmother passed away. The Bai family and the government officials are in cahoots, and none of them are good people."

Luo Yu sighed. It wasn't necessarily a good thing for a young boy to know too much. Up to these two days, the 12-year-old boy hadn't shown a single smile or expectation for the future on his face.

"It's okay. Since I'm your sister, we will find a way to avenge your dead sister."

"really?"

Xiaoyi stared at Luo Rui suspiciously. She looked as weak as her sister. Although Brother Bingrui dressed as a man, he knew that she was just a woman. Perhaps they had some skills, but could they really be a match for that group of bandits?

Xiao Yi didn't dare to think about it. He didn't want the only good person he just met who could help him to die because of that group of bandits.

"Sister Luo Yu, Brother Bing Rui, all you have to do is help me find my sister's remains and bury them in peace. I will personally take revenge. One day, I will find that gang of bandits and cut them into pieces with my own hands."

"That's fine. If we accidentally run into that gang of bandits first, I'll leave the person who directly caused your sister's death to you for a thousand cuts."

Luo Yu's plain words made Xiao Yi stunned for a moment. Judging from her tone, it didn't sound like a joke at all.

Bai Lingyiren fell into deep thought.

Brother Qin Bingrui and sister Luo Hong drove a horse-drawn carriage for hundreds of kilometers from the capital to Tianbao County. They were both unharmed and the carriage was not stolen. It was truly a miracle.

The carriage that Bai Lingyi's family rode in was not very luxurious, and it was not as good as Sister Luo Yu's carriage, so why was it targeted by thieves?

What's also strange is why Brother Qin Bingrui and Sister Luo Yu insisted on driving separate carriages. Could it be that they had something particularly valuable inside? But if that's the case, shouldn't they be more discreet?

Bai Lingyi couldn't understand it. All along the way he thought that they were targeted by bandits because the luxurious carriage was too eye-catching. Now, he began to doubt it.

However, they did carry a lot of belongings in the carriage at that time. His mother's gold and silver jewelry alone was worth a lot of silver, and there was a box full of silver notes, which was about 50,000 taels of silver.

It is normal to be targeted. What he doesn't understand is why Sister Luo Yu and Brother Bing Rui are not afraid?

"Brother Bingrui, isn't it too ostentatious for you to drive two carriages out of the city?" He finally asked the question in his mind.

Qin Bingrui pointed to the scar on his face and said with a smile: "Look at this, brother is not one to be trifled with."

After that, he added, "Sit tight, kid, let's speed up."

The carriage sped along, and the wind whistled in my ears.

Bai Lingyi almost vomited the two buns and a bowl of wontons he had eaten early in the morning.
