Ten days later, Ning Xiang got off the ship with a pale face. www.biquge.info When she stepped on the solid ground on the shore, her dizzy head was much better, and she felt that she was alive. She didn't expect that she would be seasick, and the few days she spent on the ship were a nightmare, except for vomiting and lying dizzy....

Originally, she took the boat to avoid Mama Li and them, but the seasickness was too uncomfortable. Moreover, the boat was moving slowly, and after these few days, it must have staggered with Mama Li and them. So at the dock of this town, she chose to get off the boat or take the capital by land.

She had never been so weak, so she had to find a nearby inn to rest for the night. The next day, she was recuperated and hired a carriage to go to the next county.

She sat in the carriage, looked at the two road guides in her hand, and after reading them several times, she wrapped one of the road guides and the rest of the silver tickets in oilcloth, stuffed them into a palm-sized black cloth bag sewn by herself, and then hung the cloth bag on her head and neck, and put it close to her body.

She folded the rest of the guide, stuffed it into a purse embroidered with the word "Fu", and put it in her close-fitting pocket.

These two road guides are the identities of a man and a woman.

With it, she is not afraid of those people's interrogation when she enters and exits every county town, and with it, at least she can feel much more at ease when she goes to the capital.

She reached out and took out a white porcelain bottle and a round rouge box from the hidden pocket on the right side, thinking, she went to Beijing alone, who knows what will happen, not to mention the chaos of this world.... With these, it can be regarded as having some security in my heart.

Speaking of which, the road guide on her body was bought from the small second-hand of the previous inn. As for the small porcelain bottle and rouge box, they are all simple and easy medicines prepared by herself.

Interestingly, she lived in the Wang Ji Inn for three days, and from time to time she rewarded a few copper plates to the shopkeeper, and after getting acquainted with the shopkeeper, the second brother was very affectionate to her.

The shopkeeper is sixteen years old and his name is Wang Hai. His family was a fisherman, and his father who ran the boat died when he was very young, and he grew up begging for a living on the dock with his mother. Everything was clear, and Ning Xiang had an idea at that time.

Once she specially invited Wang Hai to drink, and when he was half drunk, she told Wang Hai that she was from Muling Village, and her stepmother couldn't tolerate her with her sweetheart, so she had to leave home and want to marry her eldest sister in other places.

Who knew that on the night of staying in Wangjia Village, he was attacked by the homeless people, lost the road guide, and fled to the Qingjiang Wharf overnight with the villagers and his family in a panic. She didn't want to go back to the village to meet her stepmother's vicious face, but she had to go home again to reapply for the road guide paperwork.

Wang Hai immediately patted his chest and promised, don't worry, he will get her a road citation book. Incense is overjoyed.

One day later, Wang Hai came to the guest room early in the morning to look for him, sneakily took out a cloth bag, and poured out several pieces of paper for road guides. Let her look at it and pick whatever she wants.

Ning Xiang was not polite, and picked them up one by one, and to her surprise, two of the road guide documents matched her age in all aspects, and the address of the man's household registration indicated that he was from the mountain village along the Southern Dynasty.

Ning Xiang was pleasantly surprised, and immediately asked curiously about the origin of these road citation documents.

Wang Hai told her bluntly that a few of these road guide documents were taken from the hands of a brother he had known since childhood, and his brother was also a shopkeeper in other inns.

The owners of these guide books have all died in the inn in the past two years due to various causes or accidents.

The only two female road guides in the few are a mother and daughter, the little girl is the same age as Ning Xiang, she died of illness, and her mother also died of grief.

Ning Xiang selected these two road guide documents from several road guide documents, and stuffed the ten taels of silver exchanged for the silver ticket to Wang Hai. Wang Hai didn't shirk it, he put ten taels of silver into his arms with a smile, and didn't ask her what the use of a young man asking for a woman's road guide book.

Thinking of what she has done these days, Ning Xiang couldn't help but smile. I didn't expect that I was becoming more and more like a mortal, and it would also make these mortals a survival trick. Sure enough, I sang that song on any hill.

She stuffed the small porcelain vase into a cyan bag, picked up the round wooden rouge box painted with a red lotus, and gently opened it.

The earthy black powder in the box is very delicate, exuding a bitter fragrance mixed with medicinal and floral fragrance.

Huo Qingyu dipped her index finger in some powder, and spread it evenly on the back of her hand and neck that she had forgotten to apply in the morning because she was in a hurry, and gradually, the skin on the back of her fair hand turned into a dry yellow and dark color.

She put away the rouge box and estimated that the powder in the rouge box would be used for ten days or half a month.

It's useless!

This body is gifted, not only has a strange fragrance, but also has a naturally white and tender face, no matter how you toss it, it is still watery.

The carriage tossed suddenly, stopped, Ning Xiang lifted the curtain on one side, and asked, "Uncle Zhao, what's wrong?" ”

Uncle Zhao, whose hair was half gray, replied in a wary tone; "There is a man and a horse in front of him."

Blocking the road early in the morning? Ning Xiang couldn't help but stretch out her head and look ahead.

Ten meters away, there was a man and a horse blocking the road, to be exact, a horse blocking the way. The horse, who did not know whether he was dead or alive, lay on the path, almost blocking half of the path.

The young man standing beside the horse, with his long hair disheveled, his clothes tied up at the waist, and his sleeves curled high, straightened his waist and turned his head to look at her.

The other party's projected eyes were too sharp and cold, and for a moment, Ning Xiang could feel the pain on her face as if she had been pricked by a needle, which made her involuntarily stagger the other party's eyes.

For the stranger who suddenly appeared, Ning Xiang's body was tense and vigilant.

Ning Xiang pressed one hand on a sharp dagger that she had hidden in the right pocket, and said to Zhao Bo, "Let's go forward and take a look." ”

Uncle Zhao, who was forty or fifty years old, was a caretaker for a large family when he was young, and then he was seriously injured in the arm and fell ill, so he changed careers and became a coachman who pulled people and transported goods, and has been making a living from it.

Uncle Zhao's wife is not in good health, there are no major illnesses, minor illnesses are constant, and she takes medicine all year round. The husband and wife have two sons and a daughter, and the eldest son was conscripted into the army many years ago, and since then he has not known his life and death, and has not been heard from since. The second son is clever and diligent, and opened a breakfast shop in the county, and the business is doing very well. The only youngest daughter got married last year and married into Fucheng.

A few days ago, my youngest daughter was pregnant, and she wrote to her that she wanted to eat sauerkraut caviar made by her mother.

The wife is not in good health and is not suitable for going out to visit her daughter, and the second son is busy in the shop, and he has no time to go far away, so Zhao Bo took five jars of sauerkraut caviar and drove it to Fucheng in person.

It just so happened that Ning Xiang wanted to hire a car to go to Fucheng, if she hired someone else's car, it would cost an extra tael of silver, because Uncle Zhao himself wanted to go, as long as he was willing to take her for a tael of silver.

If you can save a tael of silver, Ningxiang naturally can't ask for it, but don't underestimate a tael of silver, a tael of silver saves a little flower, enough for ordinary people to live for half a year. She doesn't have much money in her hand, and she has spent a lot of money on buying road guide papers, taking a boat and eating and drinking all the way, but there is still a lot of distance to the capital. Even when she arrives in the capital, she still has to eat and drink, and she can save a little.
