Volume 1 Chapter 19 Enter the county seat
Sister, are we going to the county seat today? Early in the morning, before dawn, the two sisters got up and came to the stone jar in the dark, Xiangxiang was still wearing the hemp pants that only reached the knees, Qin Mo took out the water from the tank, and wiped Xiangxiang's face first, the water was a little cold, after all, it was dawn. Hard, I finally wiped away all the tears and snot that she had been sticking to her face for so many days.
Xiangxiang's tone was very pleasant to hear.
Much happier than Qin Mo. It's almost joyful
Yes, let's go to the city!
Qin Mo wasn't so happy, just a very ordinary tone.
It's so good, sister, Xiangxiang hasn't been to the city, Xiangxiang heard that Jinqing talked about the county, saying that there are delicious and fun things, there are many people, selling things, sister, is that so-!
Qin Mo had seen the ancient bazaar on TV
Uh-huh, yes!
Qin Mo dug the water with his hands, still gently and patiently answering the girl in front of him.
Xiangxiang smiled and didn't speak.
Xiangxiang has indeed never been to the county seat, ordinary farmers have so much time to go to the county seat, only when they buy or sell, some people go several times a year, and some people have not been to the county for several years.
And Qin Mo's had been to the county seat before, and he had been there twice, and now Qin Mo still knew the route in his mind.
And once you get on the main road, it is the place that leads to the county seat, a village, a town, every day there are always different people going to the county seat, along the way to pass through so many villages, town markets, so, as long as you get on the main road and follow others, you will not go the wrong way.
After washing Xiangxiang, Qin Mo threw two handfuls of water on his face, wow, this water is so cold, after so many days, I only washed my face once today, and there is no mirror at home. Qin Mo didn't look at the ditch to see what her face looked like, in short, it was enough for her to have a face anyway.
When he couldn't afford to eat, he no longer thought about whether his face was beautiful or not, but Qin Mo felt that the contour of this face was smaller than his previous face, his eyes were big, and his nose was quite pretty, and he felt that he was not bad.
It seems to be better than the big face before me, woman, it's better to have a small face.
Get ready, you're on your way
There were no shoes, and although it didn't rain again, the road was muddy...
It takes a long way to go to the county seat, and it takes an hour or two to walk on the bottom, and it takes three or four hours, the two sisters washed their faces, and Qin Mo put the few Ganoderma lucidum without umbrellas and the ginseng into his clothes, and then rubbed it, and wrapped the few good Linzhi in his hand with a piece of torn linen stuffed in the crack of the wall and took it in his hand.
And so it was on the road...
As soon as I walked out, it was too early, the road was all blurry, and the morning fog in front of me was a little cold.
Qin Mo lifted the strap of his trousers.
The path is a country road, and there are not many people to meet, and it is not yet dawn, except for those who drive cattle early in the morning, there are almost no others.
Qin Mo took out a few roasted mushrooms hidden on his body, which he had roasted and put on his body last night, and took them out at this time, just to quench his hunger.
First of all, I took two for Xiangxiang, and this is breakfast for two people.
I don't know how long I walked, I got on the big road from the rural road, the muddy path turned into yellow sand, Qin Mo and Xiangxiang's feet were covered with wet mud, and the first rays of sunlight in the early morning pierced out of the sparse woods next to the road, shining on my body, and suddenly my body was a little hot and sticky.
Drive. Drive. Occasionally, a wooden cart with a mule ran by, and a coachman dressed in patches sat leisurely on the cart with a rattan stick, shouting and singing.
Xiangxiang lowered her head and held the burnt mushroom and gnawed hard.
And Qin Mo also ate a half of it, and he didn't think it was delicious, and he didn't seem to want to swallow anything without taste.
After eating one and a half, he gave the other half to Xiangxiang, although Xiangxiang is small, but the amount of food is good, and these two mushrooms are not much.
After eating the mushrooms while walking, Xiangxiang wiped her mouth with her hand, and then walked with her calves to keep up with Qin Mo's steps and continue to hurry.
The road is really far, farther than expected, Qin Mo feels that she has not walked more than a day in Jiang'an City in a year.
From dawn to early morning, from the sun to the rising of the sun.
Tired and hot, walking along the way to drink the water of the ditch, the ancient water has not been polluted by pesticides and fertilizers, drinking it will not cause major problems to people.
And Xiangxiang, although she is small, she has more short legs, her little face is red, and her entire forehead is wet with sweat, but she still follows Qin Mo without saying a word. I didn't even listen to the breath and made a panting sound.
Qin Mo couldn't bear it, so he could only rest while walking.
Fortunately, the market is time-based, and if you go late, you can't catch up with the trade.
They set out at dawn and arrived at noon.
Sister, take a break, I really can't walk! I only saw the bluestone slab paved outside the county road, and Xiangxiang was tired and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Qin Mo stopped, looking at Xiangxiang's pale face, and the whole person was bloodless.
I found out that I was wrong, although Xiangxiang suffered earlier than ordinary children, so she was sensible and did more things than children of the same age, but, after all, she was just a child whose leg bones were not completely hardened, and it was already very hard to follow herself up the mountain to carry a small back basket.
And he neglected her body.
Xiangxiang, it's okay, it's all my sister's fault, my sister didn't take care of you-!
Seeing Xiangxiang's tired and limp appearance, suddenly Qin Mo's anxious tears fell, his heart suddenly hurt, and he squatted down and rubbed Xiangxiang's legs vigorously.
Thanks to her walking very slowly along the way, she walked while resting, and the original three-hour journey took five or six hours. So, it hasn't hurt the child too much.
Sister, don't cry, Xiangxiang is sensible, sister, don't cry, you let Xiangxiang rest for a while, Xiangxiang will go with you when she is rested-!
Come, sister, carry you!
After all, she was a child, and Qin Mo was determined to carry her for a while by herself, because it was already noon, and if she continued like this, she was afraid that the market would close. When the time comes, you can't buy or sell anything.
Qin Mo himself carried the incense on his back, gritted his teeth, and as soon as he entered the city, there were many people in the city, and it was prosperous, which was still unexpected by Qin Mo.
There are all kinds of vegetables on the stalls, and the people in the city wear them well, most of them wear complete cloth clothes, and occasionally you can see some people wearing silk, and most of the people wearing silk are rich people.
Sugar gourd, big and sweet sugar gourd-!
The voices passing by my ears were shouting loudly.
The red red is a sugar gourd, both ancient and modern, and it is indeed tempting to insert it in such a string.
Xiangxiang lay on Qin Mo's shoulder, excited about the people and things on both sides of the street, and excitedly shook Qin Mo under him.
Sister, sister, look good, look good...!
The houses made of cyan brick and stone on both sides are neatly arranged, with flat bluestone slabs, and vendors on the ground are next to each other.
The pawn peddlers who came and went kept shouting.
Horse-drawn carriages, wooden carts carrying heavy loads ran over the center of the street.
There are large courtyards, alleys, as well as listening to music, fighting birds, restaurants, cloth shops, jewelry and antique shops.
