Chapter 252 Going North and Going South
"Okay, stop acting so desperate, there will be plenty of opportunities to see you again in the future.
Remember, only by living can everything be possible." Lin Shu said solemnly.
She took out an ordinary purse from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Chengzi.
"This is the reward you deserve for your journey. Use it for self-defense and don't spend it lavishly in a few days.
Don't be fooled, little fool."
He took out another purse and said to Qian Duoduo.
"Don't forget, you must pay back every penny of the IOU you wrote."
"Yes, remember what Little Stone said."
Qian Duoduo happily took the purse, which was a small bag of silver containing about thirty taels.
It’s not much, but it’s better than nothing.
When I looked inside, I suddenly saw two silver bills.
Qian Duoduo was so excited that his heart almost beat out of his throat.
Xiao Shitou was the best to him and secretly gave him silver notes.
He has to perform better next time.
Wu Chuntao was so happy because her identity was confirmed that she walked lightly.
She held her chin high, her eyes full of satisfaction and pride.
She believed that if she followed her cousin, she would soon find her father.
The three of them, each holding their own secrets, went back to the house and packed their luggage with heavy hearts.
Wu Chuntao was worried about Qian Duoduo, so she finally knocked on the door with her bag on her back.
“Brother Duoduo, are you really going to the North?
Don’t you want to go find your relatives? "
Will we meet again in the future..."
"Don't cry, Chuntao. I will accompany Xiaochengzi to find his family, and then I will go to the south to find you.
My loved ones, I don’t know where they are. Maybe they have forgotten me all along!” Qian Duoduo said with some disappointment.
He wanted to shed his blood, to fight in battle, to prove himself as a useful person by making achievements.
If you establish a relationship with the Marquis of Zhenguo, you will have to work at least ten years less.
Why not!
Qian Duoduo's abacus was clicking, as if everything was under his control.
I am not so afraid of going to the north anymore.
...
Lin Shu put away only two sets of clothes, shoes and socks she had bought during this period, and kept the rest in the space.
I applied the medicine all over my skin, and the fair and tender skin immediately turned into a waxy yellow color.
Anyone who didn't know would definitely think she had an acute illness.
I stayed far away from it, for fear of getting sick.
The luggage must be wrapped in tarpaulin and put into the carriage. Pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, kindling and firewood are also necessary.
The spacious carriage suddenly became crowded.
Knowing that Xiao Chengzi was going to the north, Lin Shu no longer tried to keep her.
Some people and some things have to be experienced personally.
Only then will you understand what is right and what is wrong.
She asked Lin Hongyi to prepare dry food, water bags, common medicines, antipyretics, and trauma medicines for the two of them, as well as a short knife for self-defense.
As long as the things in the two packages are not lost, plus the silver given to them.
I don't think they will suffer too much, even if it's shit they have to swallow.
...
Fengji County, north city gate.
Lin Shu sat on the ox cart, watching two young men in old cotton-padded clothes merge into the crowd leaving the city.
About an incense stick later, Lin Shu and Lin Hongyi drove away in two ox carts.
The two teams were going in opposite directions and when they looked back they could no longer see each other's backs.
The two young men could never have imagined how dangerous the journey north would be.
The people were displaced, and bandits and northern barbarians were rampant.
In this land, the only thing that represents order is violence.
After the heavy snow melted, the sleeping earth gradually awakened.
A large amount of land has been left barren and the hard-working workers have long disappeared.
The wild grass stubbornly emerged from the ground, but was trampled to death by the galloping horses.
...
"Boom boom boom~"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry~"
The two groups of bandits rushed towards each other with long swords raised high.
Thick smoke rose behind them, and they all treated the people opposite them as food.
The brutal killings did not go away even though the number of bodies decreased.
The two teams of bandits were so bloodthirsty that they charged and killed each other again and again.
There were only eighteen bloody men left there, and they stubbornly refused to fall down.
"Clean the battlefield!"
After the bandit leader said this, his body shook.
He fell off his horse, his eyes slowly closed, and the corners of his mouth raised.
Such killings can be seen everywhere in this land.
When they encountered the Northern Barbarians, the same hatred made the bandits temporarily put aside their personal grudges.
They joined forces to kill the northern barbarians and made them flee in terror.
Once a temporary victory was achieved, the two sides became enemies again and started fighting each other.
The people who failed to escape to the north hid in the mountains during the day and dared not show their heads.
They come out like rats at night to look for food and hide from the northern barbarians like they are a plague.
The timid people have become the weak ones in this land.
Having to hide from the robbery of bandits and the killing of the northern barbarian soldiers, life is harder than that of a rat.
Escape, cannot escape.
I can’t survive.
If you make up your mind and grit your teeth and join the bandits, you may still have a glimmer of hope.
The crow stood on the branch, waiting for the next meal to appear.
...
South Pier.
There was not a single ship on the turbulent water.
The passengers stranded here complained bitterly.
"What should we do? There are no ships going south." Lin Hongyi stretched his neck and said.
"We can only go by land."
We stayed here for two days and not a single passenger ship showed up.
With four oxen and two ox carts, I'm afraid few ships would be willing to take them.
Given the bison's physique, one kick would easily make a hole in the hold.
They still thought too simply.
The carrying capacity of ships at that time was far behind that of later generations.
During the one-hour stay at the dock, no less than a hundred people came to inquire about the cattle.
The four cows became the focus of the whole audience.
Heizi and Baozi, who were disguised, hid in the carriage and never showed up, which made them very dissatisfied.
There are faint signs of a runaway.
"Let's go~"
Lin Shu immediately drove the three cows away, and the two calves followed obediently.
Perhaps he was frightened by the crowds and didn't dare to move a step.
...
"It would be nice if I had my own boat."
Looking at the wide river, Lin Shu said with emotion.
Going south, there are more mountains and rivers.
If you have a boat of your own, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Lin Shuqiang suppressed the thoughts in her mind and drove the ox cart down the river.
The rushing river water rolled, carrying away tree branches and destroyed houses and furniture.
Someone was standing by the water holding a long bamboo pole, salvaging furniture in preparation for opening a blind box.
Some people also make nets to catch fish and try to feel the feel of throwing them out.
Of course, the web was still wrapped around my wrist.
If you are lucky, the net will land on the water in a beautiful circle.
'Wow~'
The moving hand net was pulled up, and three fish weighing two or three pounds were jumping around in the net.
I tried my best to break free from the shackles of the net, but found that everything was in vain.
Some small shrimps slipped through the mesh and returned to nature.
If there are slightly bigger fish, they will lose the chance to go home.
Opening blind boxes is no longer interesting, and people coming to the river have begun to imitate catching fish.
In these lean years, having a bowl of fish soup is simply a delicacy.
The elderly and children in the family need these fish the most to nourish their health.
They can also take it to the city to exchange for food, which really solves the family’s urgent needs.
Lin Shu and Lin Hongyi were watching with great interest, but Wu Chuntao was the only one who was dancing with joy.
Screaming continuously.
