[21] During the journey
Two young girls and a little boy go out into the world, in fact, it is a very dangerous thing, only young people have this kind of courage and courage, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
In order to make it convenient to walk the rivers and lakes, Qian Muxue and her sisters came to the nearest town and specially bought a few sets of men's clothes.
When Qian Muxue and Lin Ziluo changed into men's clothes and pulled a men's bun, they turned into two handsome teenagers in a blink of an eye.
Qian Muxue bought three sharp daggers and some sweat pills, divided them into three parts, and put them in the sachets she carried, and distributed them to the three of them.
In addition, Qian Muxue created a special so-called poison mixed with anesthetics, old leproses, and laxatives, which were kneaded into small balls and packed in small porcelain bottles in case of emergency.
Because the novels that Qian Muxue has read before often say: three treasures of walking in the rivers and lakes, daggers, sweat medicine and poison.
It's thousands of miles away from Kyoto City, and you don't know how to walk until you get to the Year of the Monkey.
For this reason, Qianmuxue invested in three good donkeys.
Originally, Qian Muxue wanted to ride a horse, first, the distance was much faster; Second, riding on a horse is heroic and chic, how tall and tall.
It's a pity that they can't ride, so they have to learn Zhang Guolao to ride a donkey to travel the world.
Along the way, Qianmuxue and the others stopped and walked to appreciate the customs of the people in various places.
Stay in a scenic place for two or three more days to taste the local cuisine.
Everywhere they go, they buy local products to sell in another town.
Due to the inconvenient transportation between towns, the products unique to each place are rare and precious for another place, and are often only enjoyed by the local rich and noble.
Therefore, the specialties sold by Qianmuxue and their children were very popular in the local area, and they were sold out and made a lot of money.
Along the way, they have earned money from buying souvenirs, in addition to travel expenses, and have a surplus to accumulate capital and experience for living in Kyoto City in the future.
On this day, they came to the big village of Xiaotang, sat down in front of the only local noodle shop, and prepared to have their fill, and then hurried to the next town to rest before sunset.
But when they sat down, a dirty child seemed to inadvertently touch Lin Ziluo and ran away.
Lin Ziluo patted her clothes angrily and scolded, "You little beggar, why don't you walk with eyes." ”
Suddenly, when he touched his body, his face changed, and he pointed in the direction where the child ran away and shouted "thief"
。
Qian Muxue and Lin Xiaohu reacted immediately, and the three of them followed the child to chase.
The children were locals, and they were dumped in a few clicks.
They walked around the village in despair, ready to leave.
Suddenly, I heard the voice of a child coming from a family passing by.
The child panted and said, "Brother, I'm back." ”
A pale and feeble voice asked, "You're stealing again, chasing someone?" ”
The three of them glanced at each other, pushed the door open together, and walked towards the house.
Sure enough, the child was standing in front of the bed talking to someone.
The child was also startled when he heard the sound of the door opening, turned his head and found that it was Qianmuxue and them, and immediately ran over to grab Qianmuxue's hand, his eyes were full of pleading.
Qian Muxue saw that the man on the bed seemed to be sick and dying, and the room was surrounded by cobwebs, thick dust, and dilapidated.
Guessing the truth of the matter, Qian Muxue patted the child's dirty hands, and her eyes signaled him not to be shocked.
Qian Muxue came to the bed and said softly, "We happened to be passing through here, and we heard the people in the village talk about the situation of your family, and I wanted to come over and do some small help." I hope you don't mind. ”
According to the man, it turned out that the child was his sister, and their father died of a serious illness at an early age, and his mother died of long-term overwork.
As the eldest brother, he took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger sister, but the heavens did not favor them, and misfortune befell him again.
He suffers from the same terrible disease as his father, and his sister takes care of him.
After listening to their stories, Qianmuxue was very sympathetic, but they couldn't protect themselves, and they were powerless.
In the end, Qian Muxue took out a silver ticket and gave it to them, and the amount of this silver ticket was enough for them to live for a long time.
Qianmuxue and the others left the village under the grateful eyes of the brother and sister.
As the saying goes: money should not be exposed, and people should not be disgraced.
Qianmuxue and the others learned this lesson and dressed up again, the three of them had been exposed to the sun and rain, and their skin was already chestnut (healthy complexion, and Westerners sunbathed every day for this effect.
)。
Then draw the eyebrows coarsely and change them to coarse linen clothes.
The three of them turned into poor teenagers and behaved more low-key.
