In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Xie Chengjin didn't take this matter to heart. He smiled and said to Su Zhizhi, "Miss Su, why are you saying these things? It's just a carriage. If the horse is lost, it's lost. As far as I'm concerned, as long as the person is fine, I'm happy."

Xie Chengjin paused, then continued, "However, looking at the current situation, I don't think there are many valuable things left. What we should be most worried about now is how we will get to the capital."

Speaking of this, Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin with hope in her eyes. Xie Chengjin seemed to understand what Su Zhizhi meant, but he just spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and looked helpless.

"Miss Su, I'm sorry, my money must have been stolen by those thieves, and now I have no money at all. I think if we want to go to the capital, we can only go there on foot."

Su Zhizhi was skeptical about this and didn't say anything, just staring at Xie Chengjin.

But Shen Wenjun seemed to be naive. He really believed what Xie Chengjin said. After hesitating for a while, he finally said in a low voice: "Mr. Song, I'm sorry. If I had stayed here just now, I think those people would not have touched our things." Shen Wenjun came up and apologized first.

Then he continued, "Since we are penniless, why don't we go ahead and walk a little further? Looking at the map, there should be a town not far from here. We can go there and sell some calligraphy and paintings for some money, and then buy a donkey cart to continue our journey. What do you think, Miss Su and Master Song?"

Before Su Zhizhi could say anything, Xie Chengjin smiled and agreed with Shen Wenjun's proposal. "Mr. Shen's idea is not bad. Judging from our current situation, it will indeed be better."

Shen Wenjun was quite happy to see that her proposal was adopted, and she began to count the calligraphy and paintings that she could sell. Looking at Shen Wenjun like this, Su Zhizhi was speechless for a moment. She had no time to ask Xie Chengjin, but hurried to hold Shen Wenjun.

Su Zhizhi glanced at Xie Chengjin with a resentful look, then advised, "Wait a moment, don't be so anxious. We're still in the wilderness. If you unpack your package now, how will you pack it up later? We can't rush this. If we want to sell the calligraphy and paintings, we have to wait until we get into the city. While it's still early, let's hurry on."

Shen Wenjun changed his mind and stopped being so stubborn. He took his bag and waited to set off.

Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin also picked up their things.

The three of them walked forward, and Xie Chengjin followed behind Su Zhizhi. Seeing her struggling to carry a large package, Xie Chengjin chuckled, then took a few quick steps, caught up with Su Zhizhi, and then reached out to take the package.

Su Zhizhi glanced at Xie Chengjin doubtfully, as if she didn't understand what Xie Chengjin was doing.

Xie Chengjin smiled softly, "Nothing, I just feel bad seeing Miss Su carrying this package on her own. Besides, how can I bear to see Miss Su so tired while I'm here?"

Although Shen Wenjun was walking in front, she was always paying attention to the movements behind her. When she heard what Xie Chengjin said, Shen Wenjun clenched her hands tightly and cursed Song Shijun in her heart for being a vixen.

Just as Xie Chengjin said, after walking for only an hour, they saw the city not far away. Shen Wenjun and Su Zhizhi both showed joy on their faces. They were exhausted after walking for an hour with the things.

They simply rested there for a while. Su Zhizhi saw Xie Chengjin sitting beside her, but her doubts were still there, so she simply went over to him.

"Mr. Song, are you used to this journey?"

Xie Chengjin smiled, "Miss Su, why do you ask this?"

"Mr. Song, you're worrying too much. I just see that Mr. Song has an extraordinary aura and looks like a young master from a wealthy family. It's just that he's been traveling with us all this time and is exhausted. I wonder if Mr. Song is used to it."

Xie Chengjin was stunned for a moment and said, "Thank you very much for your concern, Miss Su. But there is one thing Miss Su is wrong. I, Song, am not a rich man. The stolen horse is almost half of my property. Miss Su, please don't think too much about it." At this point, Xie Chengjin smiled bitterly and looked helpless.

Su Zhizhi had no choice but to give up. She had just wanted to test Xie Chengjin, but her intuition told her that Xie Chengjin's identity was definitely not simple.

After resting, the three of them stepped into the city. The city was bustling with people everywhere on the streets. Shen Wenjun looked very excited.

Seeing that Shen Wenjun was extremely excited, Su Zhizhi simply let him go. Xie Chengjin on the side was also praising Shen Wenjun. Shen Wenjun didn't even realize that he was working for Xie Chengjin.

They first found an inn to stay in, so at least they had a place to rest.

The next morning, Shen Wenjun took his calligraphy and paintings to the street to sell them.

Su Zhizhi was watching from the side, but the speed of selling calligraphy and paintings was really slow. It took half a day before a few people were willing to buy them. Shen Wenjun looked very interested, but Su Zhizhi was worried. At the speed Shen Wenjun was selling paintings, they didn't know when they could go to the capital.

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi couldn't help but glare at Xie Chengjin again, but when she met his innocent gaze, Su Zhizhi felt even more uncomfortable.

She simply stopped looking at Xie Chengjin. Suddenly, Su Zhizhi seemed to have thought of something and said to Xie Chengjin, "You stay here. I have something to deal with suddenly. I should be back soon."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi ran to the side, completely ignoring Xie Chengjin's shouts behind her.

Su Zhizhi ran to a deserted place in one breath, looked around, squatted down, and began to search inside the universal capsule.

After a while, Su Zhizhi's face lit up with joy. She exerted force with her hands and pulled out a solar-powered vehicle from the capsule.

Su Zhizhi checked it over and nodded with satisfaction, "Fortunately, this thing is not broken. Now that the sun is so bright, the battery life of this thing should be better." Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi avoided the crowd and took the car back to the inn.

Inside the inn, Shen Wenjun and Xie Chengjin sat opposite each other without saying a word. When they saw Su Zhizhi coming back with something, they hurried to greet her.

"Let's go back to the room first." Su Zhizhi said as she walked upstairs.

Although the remaining two were confused, they still followed.

Only after the door was closed did Su Zhizhi let out a long sigh, put down the things in her hands, and fell down on the bed, exhausted.

Seeing Su Zhizhi so tired, Xie Chengjin asked anxiously, "Miss Su, did something happen to you?"

Su Zhizhi waved her hand, signaling the two to go and see for themselves.
