Travel to the famine year to go to the sea, and become rich with the zombie girlfriend

Unexpectedly, before Xia Qingqing could say anything, she heard a faint voice coming from the room.

"There's nothing wrong with my brain."

Mulan was startled by the sound. She turned to look at Lao Ba and said with a pout, "Ba Ge, you almost scared me to death..."

Her voice became lower and lower. After all, it was embarrassing to say bad things about someone in front of others and have them hear it.

"Myna, your hands are all cracked," Xia Qingqing looked at his hands, took out a small ceramic from her sleeve, and said, "Go back and wipe them. They will be itchy in the winter..."

Lao Ba was startled, but before he could move, Mulan took the porcelain bottle and put it in his hand, saying, "The boss is doing this for your own good, so keep it. This medicine is also very rare, it was prepared by Miss Suxi, so you must apply it every day."

"Yes."

Lao Ba clenched the porcelain bottle and agreed.

The last person to come in was Huo An. When he saw the route map, he looked at Xia Qingqing with some suspicion and asked, "Is this batch of coal for the soldiers?"

Xia Qingqing didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes."

Huo An murmured, "Whenever you mentioned Liyang City, my heart started beating fast. But why did they insist on us sending them off this time? Why didn't the imperial court send more people?"

He muttered as if he understood something, and asked in surprise, "Could there be a problem with the coal we delivered earlier?"

Xia Qingqing nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry! We just need to get her there safely."

"What about the second brother...?" Huo An was a little worried and hesitated to speak.

"He's safe, don't worry." Xia Qingqing said casually, "The messenger has told Lord Liang, but we should not tell our parents, so as not to worry them..."

Huo An nodded and said, "I know."

The next day, after breakfast, the five groups of people plus Xia Qingqing all set off in separate routes.

Xia Qingqing set out alone on a fast horse. She had to get to Fengyang City quickly to find out the situation.

But no matter how anxious we are, it is still our previous life, where there were no cars, high-speed trains, or airplanes, only a fast horse that needed to eat and rest.

Therefore, Xia Qingqing ate when she should and slept when she should on the road, with the aim of keeping the horse in the best condition for the journey.

It was already late at night when they arrived at Fengyang City, but there were quite a few people huddled at the city gate. Xia Qingqing led her horse closer and saw that most of them were refugees sleeping together.

Some people who were too cold to sleep immediately looked at Xia Qingqing with longing eyes. One of the women asked, "Hey, does this gentleman have anything to eat?"

Xia Qingqing didn't realize for a moment that the woman was calling her, until a little girl of five or six years old walked up to her and said in a baby voice, "Uncle, where are you from? Is there anything to eat?"

For safety reasons, Xia Qingqing disguised herself this time. She wore men's clothes, her hair was a little messy, her face was a little darker, and she wore a hat so that her appearance could not be seen clearly.

"Ahem," Xia Qingqing cleared her throat. She hadn't spoken in the past few days, and her voice was hoarse. She lowered her head and shook off the little girl's outstretched hand, saying viciously, "Go away. Can't you see I'm here to deliver a letter to the city lord?"

Xia Qingqing's ferocious look frightened the woman so much that she quickly took her child back. She couldn't see the woman's eyes in the dark night, but she could feel the fear and terror in her heart. Even the little girl covered her mouth when she wanted to cry.

He led his horse into the city, glanced back, and then disappeared into the night.

The people at the city gate, who had just been about to make a move, immediately tightened their clothes, spat, and cursed, "We've run into another idiot! We won't be able to grab anything to eat today! What bad luck!"

Many people wanted to curse, but they really didn't have the energy, so they just huddled together and continued to sleep.

Xia Qingqing knew this situation too well in Doomsday. If she gave the little girl food today, she was afraid that those people would rush up and snatch everything away from her.

Don't gamble on human nature at this time.

The entire Fengyang City was much worse than she had imagined. Many houses were burned down and collapsed, and countless people were left homeless on the streets.

Every place here reveals the cruelty of war.

After walking for a while, I finally found an inn with a sign that said it was open for business. It was called the Phoenix Inn. When I walked in, the waiter inside was leaning against the table, almost dozing off. When he heard the noise, he immediately stood up and greeted, "Sir, are you staying at the hotel?"

"Stay in a hotel," Xia Qingqing glanced at him and said, "I'm a little hungry. Can we eat at this late hour?"

Before the waiter could say anything, a dazed man suddenly appeared from behind the counter, stood up and said, "Of course, of course I can. I'll do whatever you want right now!"

"That's great," Xia Qingqing said as she walked into the house and sat on a chair. "Please take my horse to the backyard and feed it some good hay."

"I'm going right now, I'm going right now!"

The servant quickly wiped the table in front of Xia Qingqing with the handkerchief on his body, then left with a smile.

There haven't been any guests for a long time, so he has to serve them well, otherwise he won't be able to do his job.

"It's so late, why don't you just make noodles? It'll save you some trouble..."

"Don't be bothered," the chubby man quickly handed Xia Qingqing the menu, saying, "Anything on it can be made. I've been on the road for so long, I deserve to eat something good..."

The man was a little anxious and obviously not experienced in sales. He almost tripped over his left foot when he took the menu.

Xia Qingqing looked at the man's flushed face and probably understood that the business was really too bad, so she looked at the menu and started ordering seriously.

"This amber roast chicken and roast duck, two of each..."

"Give me two bowls of rice, Jade Wild Rice, Mushroom Vegetables, and two ounces of wine..."

Xia Qingqing took a look and found that there was nothing else. She murmured, "It's too late. I'd better eat less..."

The fat man was stunned, tears welling up in his eyes. Just as they were about to fall, he turned around and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll be done soon..."

The servant came in after getting the horse ready, poured tea for Xia Qingqing, and then hurried to help the boss.

There was nothing they could do. Ever since the war, their business had been getting worse day by day. They used to have several cooks and servants.

Unfortunately, some died and some dispersed, and in the end there was no business, so the boss had to disband the company on the spot, leaving only him as a servant to do odd jobs.

As the servant entered the house, he saw the master crying loudly while killing a chicken and mumbling to himself. He quickly asked, "Master, why are you crying? Isn't this a good thing?"

Hearing this, Boss Hong cried even harder, his tears falling to the ground like a waterfall, leaving the servant stunned.
