Chapter 41: Crossing over

Although I didn't think Mu Xin would just leave me and Xue'er alone, he and Sister Xuan Chenlin didn't appear in front of me until dawn.

"Sister, let's go, Brother Mu, they shouldn't come!"

Cher got up and patted her ass to look at me, and I got up and patted her ass to look at her, then looked around again.

The woods are still the same woods, lush and green, and the growth is very good.

It's not that I'm desperate to wait, but I don't know where to go!

"Sister, where are we going?"

Listening to Cher's words, I couldn't help but sigh, I also wanted to know where to go!

Looking at the little girl looking at me with an innocent and trusting face, I thought, since you are a child who has just turned 10,000 years old, and although I am an adult who has just turned 20 years old, since you call me Sister Sheng, then it is up to me to decide.

After all, I had just gone to Huangquan, and it was better to follow the sun to dip more yang energy.

An hour later I realized that it was still right to follow the sun, and we finally walked out of the woods, and finally on the main road, and managed to meet people on the way!

The moment I saw people, I suddenly had mixed feelings!

Since last night, I've finally met a normal living person, although these normal people don't think Cher and I look like normal people, but it has finally made me figure out when and where I am now.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the first year of Hongxi, if I remember correctly, this year is 1425 AD, the fifty-eighth year of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. And there will be three major events in this year, nay, four major events in the year, and where I am now is about five miles outside of Nanjing.

At this moment, I am really very glad that I applied for the major of history when I was admitted to the university! I am also extremely grateful to Professor Shen for his tireless teaching spirit in the first place!

Although we just went to Huangquan last night for a walk, the matter of traveling back to the Ming Dynasty still shocked me.

In fact, in the first two years of my love, I was also full of infinite curiosity and reverie about the matter of crossing! Every time I read a time-traveling novel, I have also assumed countless times, if one day I really crossed over, which dynasty should I wear to? Anyway, no matter how you wear it, that era must definitely be a peaceful and prosperous era, and the most important thing is that my identity after crossing over can't be too bad, although it doesn't necessarily have to be a princess or something, but at least I don't have to worry about food, clothing, or marriage!

Hehehe, imagination is often so beautiful, but reality is often so cruel!

Let's not talk about the love of the wind and snow, even eating and drinking are a problem now!

After finally following the people who had entered the city early into Nanjing City, I panicked even more.

Of course, the reason for this panic is very simple: the city of Nanjing is very prosperous now, and there is nothing to do! But everything needs money! And I have no money! I am penniless!

I looked wistfully at the pawnshop in front of me that had opened early, and then at Xue'er and me who were pointed at by passers-by, and finally made up my mind to walk in.

No way, walking here from the city gate, we have attracted too much attention, of course, our excellent appearance is part of the reason, but the main reason is our current outfit: shirts and jeans plus a shawl, it is really not the trend of this era! And in this feudal society, unrecognized trends are often considered serious violations, that is, wearing the wrong clothes may also be illegal!

In between, the two of us must be a black household, and if we are sent to the government by the good deeds, it is estimated that we will have to eat in prison and wait for Mu Xin and them to come to the rescue, so I decided to exchange the ring that Xuanchen gave me on my birthday for some silver, and then change the outfits for me and Xue'er.

Of course, I didn't want to let Xue'er, a 10,000-year-old child, change into suitable clothes for the two of us, but although this child has lived for 10,000 years, she is not able to do everything, especially when she said that her current spiritual power has not fully recovered due to the previous rescue in the cemetery, and her cultivation spiritual power in the human world is already limited, and with her current ability, she is not able to use the magic of changing the physical object.

Well, since the shortcut doesn't work, then I have to follow the normal pace.

It's just that the shopkeeper of the pawnshop took the ring I gave him and looked at it for almost a quarter of an hour and still didn't give an offer, which made my already hesitant heart even more hesitant.

Finally, when I was about to say something wrong, the shopkeeper gave me a quote, "Girl, although your ring is delicately shaped, the weight is too light, and the material is not gold or silver, and the inlay is not a precious gem, in my opinion, it is worth ten taels of silver at most."

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, I silently stretched out my hand and said, "Please return the ring to me!"

I don't know exactly what the ring is made of or what kind of gemstone it is, but I'm sure it's not cheap!

Ten taels of silver?

The shopkeeper saw that I was inappropriate, but refused to return the ring to me, and the squinted eyes turned and smiled: "In this way, I see that the girl's dress is not a local, I think she is in a hurry to use the money, and I will add ten taels to you!"

"Give me back!" I looked at the treacherous look in the shopkeeper's eyes expressionlessly, the big deal was to go to prison for a few days, anyway, we don't have food, clothing, housing and transportation at this time.

Seeing that I'm a foreigner, you want to lie to me?

"Girl, twenty taels is really a lot, and this is the price for a big family to buy a girl!"

Listening to the shopkeeper's persuasion, I took a deep breath to suppress the anger that surged up, and said as calmly as possible: "I said that I was inappropriate, please return the ring to me!"

The shopkeeper saw that I was resolute, looked at the ring again, and reluctantly returned it to me.

I took the ring and put it back on, grabbed Cher and left.

"Girl, are you really not thinking about it anymore?"

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, I gave him a middle finger.

Presumably seeing that I was worried about the silver, Xue'er pulled my arm and said in a low voice, "Sister, why don't I steal some silver for you?"

Stealing was definitely a shameful word for me in the past! But in terms of our current situation, it was a good idea! Although my personality bottom line has once again reached a new low, I still have principles.

Pulling Xue'er to an alley where no one was around, I hurriedly asked, "How sure are you if you steal it?"

Xue'er didn't think about it and said, "It's a catch!"

I looked at the little girl in front of me in surprise and happily told her: "Although you can catch it, you still have to be careful! Also, although we are short of money now, the money of ordinary people still can't be touched!"

Xue'er immediately smiled when she heard my words: "I know, rob the rich and help the poor!"

I was really surprised at this time, and I couldn't help but say, "You know a lot!"

I don't want the little girl to laugh and say, "Because my sister used to take me to do this kind of thing!"

I used to take her to rob the rich and help the poor, and if I remember correctly, I've never done anything like that!

"Sister, you wait for me here, I'll be back in a while"

Xue'er was about to leave after speaking, I didn't care about the meaning of her words, so I hurriedly dragged her back, and said uneasily: "I'll go with you, in case I miss, I can still cover you and escape."

Xue'er listened to my words, but shook her head and said confidently: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely not miss it! Besides, I don't go to the street to steal casually."

Could it be that she has already found a good target after such a while?

I was still not at ease, so I hurriedly asked, "Then where are you going to steal?"

Xue'er smiled slyly: "I think that pawnshop just now is good, go to his house first."

The shopkeeper of the pawnshop just now was indeed a profiteer, and seeing that I was not a local, he wanted to deceive me! Thinking that I would not be the first and not the last one he deceived, it would also make my conscience a little more comfortable to steal his house, so he nodded and said: "Then he is his house, but you must be careful, the shopkeeper must have remembered your appearance just now, in case——"

Xue'er interrupted me with a smile and said, "Sister, don't worry, you can make sure that nothing goes wrong!"

I looked at the empty alley in a daze, and couldn't help but say to myself: "How can I forget that although she looks like a child, she is not an ordinary child! 10,000 years old really didn't live in vain!"

Although Xue'er was full of confidence and said that it was not the first time to do such a thing, it was my first time, and I was inevitably nervous, and I wanted to go to the pawnshop to have a look, but I was afraid that the shopkeeper would see it and arouse suspicion, so I could only circle in place.

Just when I couldn't help but prepare to investigate, Xue'er's cheerful voice suddenly came from behind me, "Sister, the money is here, let's go"

I was startled and hurriedly turned to see that Cher was looking at me with a happy face holding a small blue baggage.

I hurriedly stepped forward and took the burden in Cher's arms and opened it, and I was suddenly a little startled!

The burden was full of silver ingots of the size of white flowers, and there were a hundred taels smaller when calculated.

It's not that I haven't seen money, but this 100 taels of silver is really a lot, that is, the annual income of ordinary city names in this era is only more than 20 taels of silver, if calculated according to the national finance of this era, it is equivalent to about 60,000 yuan.

As soon as I made a move, I stole more than 60,000 yuan, and I had a serious sense of guilt.

But Xue'er obviously didn't think that she had stolen a little too much, so she pulled me and said, "That store is estimated to have an average business, and I only have this little money after looking for a long time."

Me: "......"

Now is not the time to talk about this, I hurriedly took out two silver ingots of ten taels from the baggage and stuffed them into my arms, and the rest were wrapped up and stuffed into a shell bag and said to Xue'er: "Let's go, buy clothes first."

I took Xue'er out of the alley, because I was a thief, I deliberately bypassed the pawnshop, and walked about half a street to find a ready-to-wear store.

The guy saw that a guest was coming to greet him, but he was stunned when he saw me and Cher dressing up.

I didn't have time to wait for him to come back to his senses, so I hurriedly said, "I want two, no, four sets of ready-to-wear, two sets for me and two sets for her"

After listening to my words, the young man finally came back to his senses and nodded his head and said yes, and led us to the place where the women's clothes were placed on the left.

Although Xue'er got a hundred taels of silver as soon as she made a move, judging from the current situation that Musin's whereabouts were unknown, I decided that I had to save some money, so I chose a set of women's clothes and a men's clothes for the two of us.

After changing my clothes and settling the bill, I finally had no one to point a finger at me anymore, and I felt a little more relaxed.

Now that the problem of wearing is solved, the next thing is to eat and live.

Nanjing, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, is a large-scale commercial center in addition to its political status because of its convenient water and land transportation, with frequent exchanges between merchants from the north and south, and the most important thing in the city is restaurants and inns.

But we can't stay in guest houses, because in this era, guest houses also require identification, and we don't have them!

This has passed overnight and most of the day, but Mu Xin and Xuanchen have never appeared.

Thinking of the ghosts I saw when I was pushed into the well of reincarnation, I don't know if they were caught.

I told Xue'er about this worry, but Xue'er was not worried: "Those ghosts can't catch them at all, even if the Emperor of the Underworld comes out in person, they may not be the opponents of Brother Mu and Brother Xuan, and there are other people."

Xue'er said with great certainty and came to comfort me: "Sister, you don't have to worry, Brother Mu will definitely come to you"

After listening to Cher's words, although I was a little relieved, I was still worried, since Mu Xin and the others were not caught, they must have encountered other more difficult things, so they couldn't come to meet me on time.

And what Mu Xin told Cher was also vague, and I didn't have a clue where to go next.

Not to mention that none of the previous reverie through life has been realized, and he has become a black outdoor plus unemployed vagrant!

What a sad word!
