The five people hurried all the way, although there was also a light snow blocking the road, but there was less people to block the way, the road was quite peaceful, and a few people just arrived in Layue and went out of Beiping County on the right and entered the Quanzhou county seat of Yuyang County.

And finally on the eighth day of the lunar month, he entered the (Moyu) county of Hejian County, Jizhou boundary. Jizhou was a bumper harvest year last year, although there was a drought this year, but it was not as bad as Youzhou suffered from drought and insect plague, so the disaster was obviously a lot less, because there was no road guide, so Situ Yan spent two taels of silver, and the officers and soldiers let her drive into the city.

Shops with banners can already be seen in the city, and even the laughter of customers pushing glasses and changing lamps can be heard in restaurants.

"Little Five, it's so nice here!"

"yes!" Saburo and Shiro looked at the surrounding shops. Some couldn't believe their eyes, they walked all the way from Liaodong County, and saw everywhere the victims who starved to death and froze to death, closed shops and abandoned people's homes, and even a few times the inn and car shop where they lived didn't even have a shopkeeper, so they just found a room and lived in it by themselves. Where have I ever seen such a prosperous county seat.

"One world is like a fairyland, and the other is like hell. Before the victims poured into the city, we could have a good rest, and after more than a month of driving, my brothers were afraid that they would be tired? ”

"Little Five, let's not be tired, let's go to the biggest inn first and then find an inn to live in?"

"It's good!" Situ Yan nodded in response, and several people found an hour to settle down. As before, it cost 100 wen to get a lower class room, and several people lived together.

At dinner, Situ Yan specially ordered a pot of eight-treasure porridge, and several people were on the way to celebrate the festival for the first time. After eating, Situ Yan went back to the house to take a bath first, and then changed Li Dalang and a few people to go in to wash.

When Situ Yan returned to the house, he was close to the right, "Xiao Wu, the Laba porridge in this store is not as fragrant as you cook!" Li Erlang misses the Laba porridge cooked by his little sister a little, which is the best porridge he has ever tasted.

"Yes, I think so too!" Shiro also supported his head with his hands and lay on the kang to follow the coaxing.

"When we settle down in Henan County, I will cook laba porridge for my brothers to eat!"

"Okay!" The four of them listened happily, and they deserved it even more refreshingly.

Li Dalang turned around, looked at the little sister on the other side of the bed, and asked a little tentatively, "Little Wu, do we want to rest for a few days in (Moyu) County?" ”

"Well, these days are too rushed, my brothers are tired and thin, I have to rest and make up for it!"

"Little Five, we didn't spend a lot of money all the way into the city to live in the hotel, I'm afraid we have spent all the money we earned before, right?"

"Yes, Xiao Wu, if you don't have any money, you have to tell us?" Li Sanlang was so tired that he had been lying down and didn't get up, and he couldn't lie down at this time, so he turned around with his head forcibly.

"It's enough, brothers don't worry, when we get to Henan County, we can still buy a piece of land, and then build a house like Lijia Village, and then surround a few acres of yards, and we can also farm land and raise fish."

"Xiao Wu, did you spend all the money your brother gave?"

"No, I haven't touched that money. The eldest brother and we used to sell a lot of grain, fish and snacks, but we made a lot of money! ”

"That's good!" Li Dalang thought about it and felt that it was the same reason, so he didn't remember it anymore.

After chatting for a while, they fell asleep, and slept until near noon the next day, when they found a stall on the side of the street and ate a bowl of hot "soup cakes" (wontons), and then they went up the street. Situ Yan only walked around for a while before saying that she was tired, and put 100 yuan on each of the people, so she went back to the inn to rest first. Li Dalang had never been far away, and he was curious, so after sending his little sister back, several people went to the street again.

After a few people left, Situ Yan finally got free, entered the space ring, and checked the box he got from the Xiangping County Order.

The jewelry is not a precious thing, but it is also made of pure gold and silver, and Situ Yan is too lazy to weigh it carefully, so he only writes down the quantity. Ten horses of silk, ten horses of silk, ten horses of satin, calligraphy and painting, porcelain, jade, etc. were mixed together and packed in three boxes, probably because they were in a hurry at the beginning, and they did not have time to carefully divide them.

But there were five full boxes of silver, which was exactly five thousand taels. A box of gold was 100 taels, and finely crushed silver was 550 taels.

"A good corrupt official, the silver alone is 6,550 taels, plus these are at least more than 10,000 taels, no wonder everyone wants to be an official from ancient times to the present, and they really have power and money. I've been working hard for nearly two years, and this box of things is not worth much. ”

After keeping the accounts, he withdrew from the ring, and seeing that Li Dalang had not come back, he took out the things he wanted to use in the ring and put them in the basket with peace of mind. The snow wolf looked at the master who disappeared for a while and appeared out of thin air for a while, and screamed, Situ Yan hurriedly supported its head, "Snow wolf, don't be afraid, this is your and my little secret, you can't let others know!" After coaxing for a while, he took a chicken from the ring and gave it to him, and the snow wolf ate it happily.

When Li Dalang and the others came back, they saw that the basket was already full of food, so they were embarrassed to admit their mistakes to Situ Yan with a red face and lowered their heads, "Little Wu, I only care about playing, and I have let you suffer again!" ”

"Big brother, what are you doing, I didn't go out to buy these, I bought them with the help of the guys in the store. I'm not tired! ”

When a few people heard this, they felt better in their hearts, and they scrambled to talk to Situ Yan about what they saw on the street.

"Xiao Wu, the street is lively, more lively than Xiangping County."

"Yes, I also saw the big sword. It's just that it looks like a bit of a fancy frame, and it's not as good as the little five teachings! ”

"And the one who plays the harp and sings. I can't understand what I'm singing! ”

"Little Wu, I heard that there were a lot of victims outside the county early this morning, and I have to pay a door tax of 500 wen when I enter the city at this time!" Li Dalang is older than his younger brothers, and he cares more about the affairs of the victims.

"I'm afraid that after today, there will be more and more. We'll stay one more day at most, and we'll have to leave early in the morning! ”

When Erlang heard this, he didn't have the mood to laugh anymore, and he had dinner together before resting.

The next day was the tenth day of the lunar month, Situ Yan got up early in the morning, found a place in the backyard of the inn where no one was, and set up a stove to cook longevity noodles for San Lang and Shiro. When the four brothers got up, they looked at the longevity noodles on the table, and their eyes were red.

"Little Wu, we are still on the run, where did you get this?"

"In the stove in the backyard, I bought some white wheat noodles yesterday, and I followed the third and fourth brothers today to eat longevity noodles." The more relaxed Situ Yan spoke, the more moved several people burst into tears, and the crying in the room became a burst for a while.

"Brothers, don't cry, let the shopkeeper listen to it for a while, and don't laugh at us."

"Okay, don't cry, junior and senior hurry up and eat noodles!" Li Dalang took the lead and began to eat noodles with a bowl.

Situ Yan watched the four of them eat, then picked up the bowl, and before the noodles were finished, there were snowflakes outside, and the goose-featherlike snow didn't take an hour, and it was 5 inches thick.

"Big brother, this snow is too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to travel today, so let's take a look at it for one more day?"

"It's fine. If you get wet on a snowy day and get wet and catch a cold, it's troublesome, so it's okay to stay for an extra day! ”

Erlang was overjoyed, and pulled Li Dalang to play on the street again with the snow under the snow. Originally, I wanted to ask my little sister to follow along, but Situ Yan had something in her heart, and she just wanted to stay in the inn.

After sending a few people away, Situ Yan wanted to find someone to inquire about the situation in the south, but there was a war in the north and south, except for the official palace where there was a court newspaper to get some news, and the people were still in the dark.

Situ Yan tried to find the dart bureau again, thinking that these dart masters who traveled south and north might get more news than ordinary people, but the dart bureau in the county town had not walked through the dart for a month, and they saw that it was about to close, where did the news come from. There was no way, Situ Yan finally went to the teahouse and listened to the corner, only to know that Wu Jun had passed all the way through Yangzhou and entered Yuzhou, and there was no other useful news. Seeing that it was almost noon, he paid for the tea and returned to the inn with a frown.

As soon as I sat on the kang, I saw Li Dalang and a few people running back.

"Xiao Wu, why are your clothes wet, you see that even your shoes are wet, don't catch a cold when you change them soon?" Li Sanlang entered the house and found that the little sister was wet, guessing that the little sister must have gone out just now, and he didn't ask in detail, but only urged her to change her wet clothes.

"Third brother, I'm fine, it's just that my clothes are wet, and the inside is not wet and cold, but my brothers have been running outside for a while, so I'm about to change my clothes!"

"Little Wu, why did you go out by yourself, will you go out with us next time?" Erlang was talking to his little sister while changing his clothes, but no one answered, and a few people looked up and found that Situ Yan was looking in the direction of the window.

"Little Wu, what's wrong, is something wrong?" Li Dalang asked while dressing.

Situ Yan was pushed by Li Dalang, and then came back to her senses, "It's okay, but when I just went out, I heard that the Wu ** team in the south had captured Yangzhou and entered Yuzhou, I'm afraid that we will attack the capital soon, and we don't know where to settle down when we go south?" She didn't want to mention Wu Jin, so as not to let the four of them follow in a hurry, so she just found an excuse to prevaricate.

"What are you afraid of! As long as we are together as a family, we are at home everywhere! ”

"Yes, Xiao Wu has nothing to worry about, I will build you a big house then, this time I will build all the things and compartments, and we will live in one room by ourselves." Although the four brothers were also worried in their hearts, looking at the worried little sister, the four of them suppressed the worry in their hearts and persuaded her one after another.

"Okay, then the brothers want to build a big house for Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu wants that kind of room with a study."

"Okay." The four of them responded in unison, dispelling the gloom in the room for a while.

A few people laughed and stayed in the city for another three days, until the snow stopped and the road was good to go, and then they set off in the direction of Wuyuan County.
