229 Cowhide Airbag
When the dead man returned from the tannery shops in the city, he clearly realized that Ruan Yanluo's feelings were wrong. Although she is still faint on the surface, there is a cold aura around her body, and those who are close to her are cold.
"Childe......" a dead man called carefully.
Ruan Yanluo came back to his senses, glanced at the cowhide in their hands, and said, "Let's go, it's best to finish the matter today and get out before the city gate is closed." â
The notice was sent the day after she escaped from the capital, and it said that it was a month, and now there are only ten days left, and she must find a way to return to the capital within ten days, and she can't delay it for half a moment.
"Childe, where are we going?" The dead man asked.
Ruan Yan Luoguang said to go, but he didn't say the place.
"Tailor's shop." Ruan Yanluo succinctly spat out a few words. She was pressed by the matter of Lan Yue and Lan Xing in her heart, and she was unwilling to say a word more.
There are a lot of people who trade in Sekijo, and there are naturally tailor shops.
Ruan Yanluo did not look for those big and famous ones, but after observing a few places, he found a small shop on a street corner.
The tailor in the shop was an old man, with only a little granddaughter to help.
Ruan Yanluo greeted him and said directly: "Old man, we have to make some cowhide bags, can you help, if you can make things in the time I request, these silver will be yours." â
As he spoke, he put two ingots of silver on the counter, which were fifty taels.
According to the national conditions of Tianyao, ten taels of silver can be used for an ordinary peasant family to live for a year, and for the two ancestors and grandchildren, fifty taels of silver is already a huge amount of money.
The old tailor's eyes lit up when he saw the silver, but he still said, "I don't know what the guest officer has for the cowhide bags, how many are they, and when do they want them?" â
"At least twenty, airtight, before the city closes tonight."
The old tailor groaned and said, "This boy, I have the skill of airtightness, but the speed is slow, if you want to make twenty, it will be at least tomorrow morning." â
Ruan Yanluo was now like an arrow, and he couldn't wait to get out of the city immediately, and asked, "If I double the silver, can I hurry up again?" â
The old tailor shook his head and said, "I can't do fine work in a hurry, and it seems that the child's money is old and can't be earned." â
He has been a tailor all his life, and he has his own set of insistences, even if Ruan Yanluo offers a sky-high price, he still has to adhere to his own standards.
When Ruan Yanluo heard the old tailor's words, not only was he not angry, but said: "Old man, I will not reduce this silver, just according to what you said, tomorrow morning." â
If this old tailor agrees, Ruan Yanluo will have to consider whether to do it here, after all, airtight is not a simple requirement, if she is given a batch of defective products in order to rush the work, it will be a pile of garbage for her, and it will be useless at all.
The old tailor looked at Ruan Yanluo with a little surprise, and saw the unchanged look on her face, so he reacted, it turned out that Ruan Yanluo was testing him just now.
After carefully looking at Ruan Yanluo a few more times, the old tailor said, "Then please give me the leather by the guest officer, and the old man will start work." â
The dead man handed over a large pile of cowhide to the old tailor, Ruan Yanluo explained the specifications and dimensions of the cowhide bag in detail, and then did not go to the inn, but stopped in this tailor's shop.
The old tailor had only a little granddaughter under him, and when some of the cutting and cutting work was done, the little granddaughter drew it, and asked the dead soldiers to help with it.
The dead soldiers are all playing with swords, and they are very accurate, Ruan Yan Luo Rao is anxious, looking at the movements of the dead soldiers, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "When you retire in the future, you can come to be a tailor." â
The dead soldiers didn't quite understand what it meant to retire, but they probably knew that it meant not to be a dead soldier, and after listening to Ruan Yanluo's words, they were depressed for a while, and their killer hands were taken here by Ruan Yanluo to cut cloth.
The old tailor was very skilled, and he fought all night long, without stopping, and when he was ready to do the first one, Ruan Yanluo took it in his hand and looked at it, only to see that the stitches were fine, and he sewed several layers, and finally sealed it with a layer of gelatin.
picked it up and blew it, the cowhide bag immediately rose, and she didn't run away at all, it seemed that she really didn't find the wrong person.
The dead soldiers saw Ruan Yanluo playing with this like a toy, and their eyes showed puzzled looks.
From the beginning, they couldn't figure out how Ruan Yanluo could get the rope to the other side of the river, and they thought that when they entered the city and saw the tools Ruan Yanluo was looking for, they could figure it out a little bit, but looking at these cowhide bags, they not only didn't understand it, but became more and more confused.
Ruan Yanluo knew that they were curious to die, but they pretended not to see it, didn't explain a word, and ran to the side to sit and sleep, making these dead soldiers depressed to death.
After a night of intense work, when it was almost dawn, these cowhide bags were finally completed, and Ruan Yanluo tried them one by one, and each one met her requirements very well.
At this time, it was only more than half an hour before the city gate was opened, and Ruan Yanluo did not delay for half a minute, deflated all the cowhide bags, folded them and put them away, left the silver and rushed to the city gate with the dead soldiers.
Shun Shun LĂŹ Li went out of the city, all the way back to Weiliu and Nanchu Nanding stayed in the mountains.
There were many people in the mountains, but from afar, Ruan Yanluo saw Wei Liu standing in the midst of the crowd. After more than ten days of arduous trekking, except for a little dirty white clothes, his whole person's demeanor has not been affected by the half, and the whole person is still pure and elegant, as if he is a fairy.
Walking in front of Wei Liu, Ruan Yanluo suddenly found that Wei Liu's eyes were a little red, and blood streaks were looming.
Thinking of something, Ruan Yanluo asked, "You didn't sleep last night." â
"Hmm." Wei said in a loud voice: "You didn't come back, I'm worried about you." â
This sentence hit Ruan Yanluo's heart where it was very soft, Ruan Yanluo's heart was slightly astringent, and he changed the topic and said: "I got what we want to use, are you optimistic about the place to cross the river?" â
Looking at Ruan Yanluo's avoidant eyes, Wei Liu's eyes darkened, and he didn't say anything after all, just stretched out his hand and said, "I've found it, you can also come and see." â
The place where Wei Liu found to cross the river was more than 20 miles away from Guancheng, this place is wide, and because of this, the current is relatively gentle, although it is still turbulent and rapid, it is much better than other places, and there are fewer undercurrents and whirlpools.
Ruan Yanluo took a closer look and felt that this was really the most suitable place he could find.
It was June, hot but sunny, and the rainy season was not yet in place. I have to say that they were lucky, and the time to escape happened to be at this time.
If it is a little earlier, the water is too cold, if it is a little later, the rainy season arrives, and in either case, it is impossible to cross the river.
