Chapter 14: Going to Beijing

The rain on spring nights is always worrying, especially in the mountains, and the roads are full of mud.

After a night of driving, tired and even looking at the lonely mountains, the sloping stone paths, and the inky moss, all these desolate scenes made Li Yanran feel like some spring flowers that had not yet had time to bloom, and after a night of washing, they had turned into spring mud.

If you go further, you can see a road monument engraved with the words "Anling County", and you will leave in the real sense when you walk through here.

is about to leave this place where she has lived for 20 years, although Li Yanran is still a little reluctant in her heart, she is more confused.

In this world, each of us is a small existence, even if we are now in the inky darkness, dragged into the abyss by disappointment, pulled into the grave by illness, trampled by frustration, ridiculed, ridiculed, resented, and abandoned, but we always have to keep some hope in our hearts, and at this time, she really doesn't dare to think about what the road ahead is like, and she doesn't know what the hope in her heart is.

Li Yanran just stood at the demarcation point like that, looking back, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

Ping'er was holding the burden in her hand, panting from behind, obviously overwhelmed by her physical strength.

After being kicked out of the Li Mansion, they are now penniless, if Ji Wenjun hadn't helped them pay for the room in advance, I am afraid that they would have been sleeping on the streets since yesterday.

"Ping'er, you hold on a little longer, and when we get out of this mountain, we will change to a carriage." Li Yanran turned around and picked up Ping'er.

Ping'er frowned and gasped for a while before she said intermittently: "Miss, I'm fine, just rest for a while."

The burden in Ping'er's hand couldn't help but tighten, he was driven out of the Li Mansion with nothing on his body, and now it is difficult to even eat a meal, how can he expect to have a carriage.

Li Yanran seemed to see Ping'er's thoughts, and comforted: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll figure out a way to deal with the silver, and when we get to the town, we will fill our stomachs first, and then buy a carriage, so that the journey will be faster." ”

"It would be good if we found Master...... Li Yanran's eyes flickered, and then said, "Maybe she can know my background......"

"But this Master Deyun is always uncertain, let's go to the capital, can we really find him?"

"Maybe......" Li Yanran didn't know, but when he was a child, the capital was always mentioned in the stories told by the master, and perhaps, he was there.

Li Yanran's kung fu was taught by her master, and when she was a child, she always felt that her master was a powerful person in the world, and when she was in danger, the master would protect her.

But since she learned to defend herself, she rarely saw him again.

Master Deyun is her only relative other than the Li Mansion, perhaps about "Who is she?" Only he can give himself the answer to this question.

After crossing this mountain, after walking a few kilometers, when they came to Qing'an Town, the two were exhausted.

This Qing'an town is crowded, and Anling County can be much more lively, the street men are each dressed in fine silk, chanting poems on the street, drinking and having fun.

"Wow......" Ping'er opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Then, around the corner, there was a burst of fragrance, perhaps stimulating the taste buds, and the two of them screamed in unison.

"Boss, let's have two bowls of beef noodles." Li Yanran and Ping'er sat down at the table on the side of the road.

In Anling County, the largest stall has only four tables, while this noodle restaurant has eight tables outside, and there are many people eating noodles.

Looking at the steaming noodle soup in the pot and the boss's skillful noodle scooping action, the two of them looked at each other directly.

"The noodles are coming!" After a while, the boss brought two bowls of noodles to the table.

Ping'er just took two bites, her eyes flashed with tears, she looked at Li Yanran and said, "Miss, I feel that this is the best noodle I have ever eaten in my life!" ”

Li Yanran smiled, and then sandwiched the beef in her bowl into the Ping'er bowl, "Eat more if it's delicious!" ”

Ping'er is younger than herself, although she is a maid, Li Yanran has always treated her as a sister.

Maybe they were tired along the way, but the two of them actually ate two bowls of noodles by themselves.

At the checkout, Li Yanran took off the hairpin on her head and gave it to the boss.

Subsequently, Li Yanran took Ping'er to the horse shop.

"Boss, we want to take a carriage to the capital!"

The boss of Ma Fang looked her up and down and said, "Little girl, the capital is far away from here!" ”

Li Yanran took out a piece of mutton fat white jade from her waist and said, "Boss, do you think this is enough?" ”

"Oh, little girl, you jade, the color is not good, and it can't be sold at a good price!"

This mutton fat white jade alone was enough to buy his horse shop, but they were in urgent need of money at this time, and they were unfamiliar with the place, so they could only be slaughtered. If it weren't for her helplessness, Li Yanran would not have taken this piece of jade.

"Boss, plus this, is it enough?" Li Yanran took out another exquisitely crafted phoenix hairpin from her baggage, which was the only belongings she had.

The boss looked at it and said, "This hairpin is good." ”

"Boss......" Li Yanran moved her lips again.

"Can you get us some more pieces of silver......?"

The boss squinted at her and said disdainfully, "Wait!" ”
