Chapter XXVIII
At this time, there are very few shops that exchange gold and silver for copper coins, only in the national capital and the big cities of states and counties, and there is no cash cabinet in a small county like this, if you want to exchange gold for copper money, you must use it to buy things and let the merchants make change.

With the experience of the past, Nanfeng did not rush to do it, first walked around the city, and then went out of the city to hide the covering, and entered the city empty-handed.
At this time, golden beans were very rare, and for fear of causing trouble, Nanfeng smashed a golden bean flat with a stone and held it tightly in his hand.
Ordinary small shops can't find gold, so you have to find a bigger one.
There must be a reasonable reason, and no one can be ignored again.
After thinking about it carefully, Nanfeng thought of a solution.
There is a restaurant on the busiest street in the city, and at noon when there are the most diners, the south wind runs towards the restaurant from the north, shouting as he runs, "I have gold, I have gold." ”
His shout attracted the attention of passers-by, and Nanfeng ran into the restaurant under the gaze of everyone, and raised his right fist at the counter, "Shopkeeper, bring me some buns, I have gold." ”
The shopkeeper looked at him suspiciously, but Nanfeng didn't rush to reach out, he was waiting for the lively people to follow.
When everyone came to the door, Nanfeng turned to everyone and said, "This is given to me by a kind Samaritan, don't think about leaving." ”
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on his right hand, and since he was clenched into a fist, no one else knew what shape the gold was. I don't know what shape naturally can't slander him for stealing.
Seeing no one answer, Nanfeng handed the gold in his hand to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I want to buy buns." ”
Whether it is gold or not, the shopkeeper can see at a glance, the shopkeeper took the gold and looked at it, lifted the small scale to weigh, because there were many onlookers, the shopkeeper lifted the small scale very high, showing that everyone did not deduct his weight.
After weighing the weight, he began to pick up buns for Nanfeng, the buns were not big, and Nanfeng asked for thirty.
"Can you eat all that?" asked the shopkeeper.
"It's okay, there are a lot of us, give me another pot of wine, the second uncle and the third uncle love to drink. Nanfeng said.
The shopkeeper brought him wine and wrapped buns, and Nanfeng took the silver taels and copper coins for change, left the restaurant, and ran to the street on the south side, shouting as he ran, "Second uncle, third uncle." ”
He ran as fast as he could, and soon shook off the crowd, and when he reached another street, the south wind stopped shouting, and went out of the city as fast as he could, taking his things and walking quickly south.
After making sure that no one was chasing him, Nanfeng opened the paper bag and took the buns to eat, he was hungry for a long time, swallowed a dozen in one go, and wanted to eat, but he held back, he couldn't eat too much after being hungry for too long.
After eating steamed buns, giving birth to strength, the south wind walked forward quickly, rushed to the next town before dark, and lived in a firewood house with a copper coin, in fact, two copper coins can live on the fire kang, but he didn't live, one is that the guy doesn't want him to live, and he doesn't dare to live himself, the fire kang is a kang, and he is afraid that others will rob him of things.
I was in a hurry to leave, I didn't have time to buy shoes, I was in a hurry, the soles of my feet were worn out, Nanfeng cut strips of cloth from my clothes, wrapped a few times around my feet, and put on the broken shoes again.
After eating a few steamed buns, Nanfeng counted the money that the other party was looking for him from the dark, although the golden beans were small, they were very weighed, full of one or two, the shopkeeper did not pit him and did not give him a high price, he folded eleven taels of silver, and now he still has ten taels of silver and some copper coins in his hand.
With the money, Nanfeng began to think about changing his outfit, because he had not bathed for a long time, he had lice on his body and head, and the bite was really uncomfortable.
But after thinking about it carefully, he dispelled this thought, he has no ability to protect himself now, others don't rob him just because they don't bother to do it, if he is dressed very cleanly, he may attract people to calculate.
Even so, he was not at ease, and did not put the silver taels into his arms, but stuffed them into the bones in the baggage, leaving only the copper coins in his arms.
The reason why he kept a little in his arms was because he was afraid that he would meet a poor and crazy person, and if he couldn't grab anything, he might kill him to vent his anger.
The next morning, the south wind got up early and quietly went on the road, it always snowed in winter, and it didn't snow for a few days, so you had to hurry up.
Although he didn't talk to others, he could hear other people's conversations, and after a long time, he also heard some clues, Lin Zhendong, one of the leaders of the Wei martial arts, was missing, and some people speculated that he was dead. Another thing is that another martial arts leader, Li Chaozong, won a contest with Long Yunzi, a real person who protects the country, Long Yunzi's conduct was despicable, and the fragment of the Book of Heaven handed over turned out to be fake, Li Chaozong was furious, put aside Long Yunzi, and directly led the martial arts people to hold Yuqingzong accountable.
In addition to these two things, there are also some trivial matters, at this time there are two Wei countries in the north, and there is also a Liang country in the south, these three countries often fight, either you fight me, or I fight him, or he beats you, in short, it is a bad deal.
These news are useless to Nanfeng, he cares about another news, there is a big river eight hundred miles to the south, and after crossing the river, he will reach the border of Liang, because the two countries are at war, there is no ferry on the river, and if you want to go to Nanguo, you can only go through the ice.
In half a month, it will be Sanjiu, and you have to rush to the river at the coldest time and cross the river by stepping on the ice. If the weather gets warmer, you won't be able to walk on the ice.
Half a month, 800 miles, and more than 50 miles a day.
Calculate the distance to be walked in a day, Nanfeng did not dare to slack off, set off before dawn, and stopped until he couldn't see his five fingers.
Because he hides well, no one will embarrass a man with bones called Hanako, try to find a broken house when he sleeps in the wilderness at night, find more firewood and grass if he can't find it, and burn the bonfire, the strange screams of people in the dark are often heard, and the green eyes also see it from time to time, but they are afraid of fire, as long as the bonfire is not extinguished, they dare not come.
Sometimes there will be beggars fleeing on the road, when there are still five hundred miles away from the river, Nanfeng met an old man, although the old man was ragged but talked extraordinary, Nanfeng learned from his words that at this time the two Wei states in the north were countries established by the Hu people, and the Liang country in the south was the country of the Han people, and the status of the Han people in the north was very low, so there were many Han people in the north who fled to the south.
This old man is literate, and Nanfeng has the heart to walk with him, but the old man can't go fast, worried that he will miss the opportunity to cross the river, and Nanfeng can only leave him a little silver tael, and then go on the road alone.
I don't know how many people have been caught in the way along the way, I can't count how many times Nanfeng has been turned, and he can't remember how many beatings he has received, anger is inevitable, and grievances are helpless, although Tian Yuanzi left him a huge treasure, he did not give him the key to open the treasure house.
Half a month later, Nanfeng finally arrived at the river, but what he didn't expect was that there were troops stationed along the river, and the army set up checkpoints on various main roads leading to the river to closely check passers-by.
But if the reason he said is not accepted, he will be blocked out of the checkpoint, and the south wind is also blocked, and the master he said is dead in a foreign land, and he returns to his hometown with the bones and is not accepted.
Later, the same reason was accepted, because Nanfeng followed the example of others and stuffed silver into the soldier who was in charge of the investigation.
It was noon when we arrived at the river, and many people had gathered by the river, but no one had crossed the river.
The river was five or six miles wide, and the south wind threw a stone on the ice, and found that the ice was very hard and could walk away.
"Uncle, what are you waiting for?" asked the middle-aged man on the side of Nanfeng Chong.
The middle-aged man tilted his head and glanced at him, "It's dark." ”
"Why wait until it gets dark?" asked Nanfeng, who had gathered at least a few hundred people on the river, but none of them were on the ice.
"Can't wait, you can go first. The middle-aged man glanced at him.
Nanfeng didn't know what was going on, and he didn't dare to get on the ice easily, so he found a dry beach and sat down, and took out dry food to eat.
The middle-aged man seemed to be very hungry, and when he saw Nanfeng eating dry food, he wanted to come over and ask for it, but he was not good at speaking before, so he was embarrassed to open his mouth at this time.
Nanfeng ate the nest head, and when he saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, he took the initiative to break half of it for him.
The man took the head of the nest and devoured it, "There are many water monsters in this river, and they are lurking under the ice at this time waiting for an opportunity to eat people, and they will be discovered by stepping on the ice during the day, so they can only wait until the night to ......."
