In the end, Lin Ping'an was dragged away by Lin Yanniang, because if he didn't leave, he would be dragged to the ground, but ugly.

Lin Ping'an was helpless, so he had to rely on her.

In the end, she didn't buy anything, but bought a beautiful red camellia for her mother.

The two went to the embroidery village first, sold Lin Song's needlework and embroidery, exchanged it for thirty-eight yuan, and bought some embroidered needles and threads, which cost eighteen yuan.

The two of them didn't dare to go shopping, for fear of wasting time and not being able to go home before dark, so Lin Ping'an went to the grain store first, and Lin Yanniang wanted to go to the post station to send a letter.

When Lin Ping'an parted at the street entrance, he pointed out the direction to Lin Yanniang and asked her to find him in the grain store after sending the letter.

When he came to the town, Lin Ping'an was not afraid that the big girl would get lost or be bullied.

After all, the eldest girl learned martial arts from him at the age of five, and her martial arts have long been better than him, and she often runs in the mountains, so she will not go wrong.

Lin Ping'an walked slowly in the direction of the grain store step by step with a cane, Lin Yanniang retracted her gaze, and walked quickly to the street in front of her with a basket on her back.

This is the only town within a radius of 300 miles outside the Guan, and the vicinity also belongs to the territory of Dongli, but it is also the place where the North Desert and the North Cang meet.

At the other end of Baihua Mountain is the Northern Desert, but separated by a grassland and barren forest, neither side has a specific demarcation line, and because of the barrenness, they have not made much plans.

But if there is a war, it will become a place of contention.

However, in Lin Yanniang's memory, they have always been very peaceful, and as ordinary people outside Dongli Pass, they did not cross over because of the danger of the Wild Boar Ridge, and they didn't know what the Wild Boar Ridge looked like.

But she knew from a young age that this three-way junction set connected the border people of Dongli, Beicang, and Beidesert, and it was also very prosperous.

This three-way port is located in the territory of Dongli, with the border army of Dongli and a simple yamen, which can barely be called the county yamen.

There are also civil officials in it, but the officials are quick to arrest, and there are also people from the North Cang or the North Desert.

As long as you live within the jurisdiction and the three generations are innocent, you are not the people of Dongli, and you can make a living here.

This is the advantage of border towns, which are highly receptive to the integration of neighboring countries and foreign ethnic groups.

Of course, if anyone makes trouble, they will also be dragged to the yamen.

If you do not abide by the laws of the Dongli border pass, you will be expelled if you are a temporary foreigner, and you will be punished if you are within the jurisdiction of the town, just like the prefectures and counties in the pass.

The county yamen is on another prosperous main street in front, and the post station is next to it, in fact, it is with the yamen, and the post office that usually manages things is the border army sentry.

Therefore, the post station and the sentry guard are also together.

Lin Yanniang didn't look at the yamen, she found the post station and walked in, the two guards were sitting at the table drinking tea, talking and laughing in a low voice.

Seeing a young man striding over with a basket on his back, they did not relax their vigilance because of this, and they were both stunned when they swept their eyes.

Why is this teenager still wearing stud earrings?

"Two uncles, I want to send a letter."

Lin Yanniang did not hide her gender, she made men's clothes just to go out conveniently, to minimize accidents, and it was not that she couldn't show people.

Hearing her crisp and quiet voice, the two guards glanced at each other, pursed their lips, and didn't think much about it.

One of them put down the tea bowl in his hand, got up and walked to the long case on the other side, turned his head and asked her, "Do you want to write it on your behalf?" ”

"It's already written, no envelopes." Lin Yanniang hurriedly explained.

"The envelope is two pennies, the pen and ink can be borrowed from you, and you have to pay for the road depending on the distance." The sentry dutifully explained the matter.

"Thank you, this letter is going to be sent to Kannai, not in any state or county, but in Kannai." Lin Yanniang took out the letter and showed it to the sentry guard with another note with the address.

The sentry nodded, and while holding the envelope, he said, "Guan Nei Shiwen." ”

It is not cheap to send ten wen to the customs, but it is not expensive, and it is several times the money to send it to other places, and it can be sent to the capital for a few taels.

Therefore, in addition to the peace letter, ordinary people will not send letters casually, especially those from poor families, most of them have not heard from each other for a year and a half or even several years.

Lin Yanniang saw that there was still some ink available in the inkstone, so she stood in front of the long case and took the envelope.

There was no stool to sit on, so she stood and picked up her pen, and wrote the address on the envelope with reference to the sample given by the sentry.

Watching her stuff an untidy and even somewhat mutilated piece of yellow bamboo paper into the envelope, the sentry couldn't help but pout, his eyes were a little complicated.

I don't know what words are written on such a piece of paper, which is also called a letter?

"Uncle, can you give me a small piece of paper? If you don't use it, I'll write a few more words. ”

Lin Yanniang suddenly had an idea after stuffing the letter, and looked up at the sentry, revealing pitiful eyes.

"......" The sentry looked at her a little speechless, and did not speak for a while.

"Lao Zheng, isn't there a piece of waste paper here, it's enough to have a slap?" The other guard, who was still sitting at the table over there, suddenly pulled out a small piece of paper from the corner.

It's really a small piece, but it's also yellow bamboo paper, as if someone wrote a letter here and threw it away.

He glanced at Lin Yanniang, as if he was asking her what she meant, this slap is big, but it's enough to write a few words?

Lin Yanniang glanced at it and quickly apologized, and took the initiative to go over and take it.

"Little girl, but who is in the house?"

The guard at the table, who was about forty years old, smiled and gossiped when he saw that she was well-behaved.

"It's a distant relative."

Lin Yanniang did not show a surprised or hesitant expression because the other party shouted her identity, but smiled slightly, how to look at how well-behaved.

But her posture is free and neat.

The two guards looked at each other twice, and felt that this little girl seemed to be a hidden master.

As a result, another guard stood beside the long case and did not leave.

Lin Yanniang did not shy away from taboos, spread the piece of paper on the case, and wrote eight small characters with a pen.

"Penniless, in need of money."

"Penniless?" The guard raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his eyes rose when he looked at Lin Yanniang again.

Lin Yanniang was a little helpless, she naturally didn't like what she was doing to be looked at by others, and she seemed to want to take care of it.

But she also knows that this is the sentry guard's cameo errand, and it is the duty of the sentry guard to maintain the peace of one side and keep an eye on the peace of the other.

This matter may be big or small, but for them, it is just their responsibility.

"Relatives have been looking for work in Kannai for some time, and I am saying something for my family, but my family doesn't know what I mean, so I'm good at making claims."

Lin Yanniang explained helplessly, so that she was not flustered.

The guard listened to her for a moment, and then said nothing more.

Outside of this pass, who has money except for the people who do business in the town?

Since it is the little girl who is good at making claims, it doesn't matter if she writes penniless, the important thing is that you need money later.
