Chapter 23: On the Road

A short dagger!

A short dagger with a short palm, look at this appearance, this should be polished by hand.

In the country of Daning, iron knives are strictly controlled.

It's not that people are not allowed to keep them, but these things are expensive.

Ordinary people are really reluctant to spend this money.

Lu Li's short dagger was obviously sharpened day after day by himself with thick pieces of iron that he didn't know where he got it.

"Thank you!"

Shen Yun carefully put away the short dagger and thanked him solemnly.

"You're welcome!"

Lu Li waved his hand, turned around and left very coldly.

Shen Yun looked at Lu Li's back as he walked away, and suddenly felt that this guy was not so annoying.

……

Lu Li turned back to his yard, his expression was a little lonely. That short dagger was sharpened by him for nearly two years.

"I must have fallen for it!"

Lu Li looked at the wooden box that he used to use to put a short dagger, but now it was empty, and he couldn't wait to slap himself. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he was worried that Shen Yun's ugly girl would have an accident on the road.

It's a pity that the thing has already been sent out and it is impossible to get it back.

"I must have fallen for it!"

Lu Li really raised his hand and slapped himself.

It's only been a few days, since he happened to save Shen Yun in the mountains that day, the only two treasures around him have gone to Shen Yun's hands.

A stone bow was bought by him after saving money for a long time, and he lost the bet and became Shen Yun's.

The short dagger was a self-defense weapon that he had been polishing for nearly two years, and his head was hot for a while, so he gave it to Shen Yun.

However, thinking that Shen Yun was about to leave, Lu Li was also relieved.

If Shen Yun continued to stay in the mountain village, Lu Li didn't know what else he could get into Shen Yun's hands.

"God forbid!"

Lu Li couldn't help but fold his hands and bow to the sky.

……

Shen Yun naturally didn't know Lu Li's thoughts.

She had just prepared the dry food to be eaten on the road with Shen Guixiang and packed it all.

"Let's go!"

The dry food to eat on the road was available, and the water bladder was also filled with water, and Shen Guixiang immediately beckoned Shen Yun to set off.

At this time, it is close to noon.

Everyone in the village was busy making lunch, and the departure of Shen Guixiang and Shen Wan did not alarm the villagers. Except for Li Qiao's family at the head of the village, and then Lu Li, no one in the entire mountain village knew about the departure of Shen Guixiang and Shen Yun.

And when Shen Guixiang and Shen Yun walked to the head of the village, they were stopped by Li Qiao.

"Aunt Qiao, you ......"

"Guixiang, this, you bring it, it's just to eat. When you get to the ground, remember to ask someone to send a message! ”

Li Qiao stuffed a small cloth bag into Shen Guixiang's hand, not giving Shen Guixiang time to refuse, and after saying that, the person ran back to his courtyard and closed the courtyard door.

“……”

Shen Guixiang looked at the small cloth bag in her hand and was speechless for a while.

"Let's go!"

In the end, Shen Guixiang didn't say much.

waited until the two of them were far away from the mountain village, Shen Guixiang looked at Shen Yun and said softly: "Erya, in the future, if we have a good life, we must repay your aunt, you know?" ”

"Uh-huh!"

Shen Yun nodded violently.

Without Shen Guixiang's advice, she will remember it.

Originally, she just wanted to help Li Qiao, but the time was too short, and she really couldn't think of any suitable way, so she could only send a sum of silver.

The two walked slowly until they reached Windforest Town.

Fenglin Town has a carriage leading to Qingping County, and it only costs thirty yuan per person.

Although Shen Guixiang was reluctant, she still paid for it.

The carriage was not a high-end carriage with carriages, but a large horse-drawn cart. People sit on the carts, endure the scorching sun, and sweat keeps flowing.

Shen Guixiang brought two water bladders, both filled with water.

By the time they arrived at the county seat, a water bladder had been emptied.

"Let's find an inn to stay in first, we have to prepare a carriage!"

"You'll have to hire two more!"

When he arrived at the county seat, Shen Guixiang made arrangements in an orderly manner.

"Mother, shouldn't we go buy two clothes first?"

Shen Yun stopped her when Shen Guixiang took her to the inn.

The Buddha relies on gold, and people rely on clothing.

When you go out, you are dressed in tatters, and you will inevitably encounter something that the dog looks down on.

Regarding this, Shen Yun has seen a lot.

I think that at the beginning, when she returned from the field archaeology, if she didn't change into clean and tidy clothes in time and walk on the road, she would have been looked down upon.

"Yes, yes, it's time to buy two clothes."

Shen Guixiang was stunned for a moment, and then understood why Shen Wan said this.

At this moment, although the clothes they are wearing are very clean, but if they don't change this patch, whether they go to the inn or the carriage and horse shop, they will inevitably be looked down upon.

Of course, it's one thing to be underestimated, it's even more important to get into trouble.

……

Half an hour later, Shen Guixiang and Shen Yun, who came out of the ready-to-wear shop, changed into brand new clothes. Although the complexions of the two of them are average, but with new clothes, they have a little bit of a bonus, and they no longer look so depressed.

Then, the two went to the inn, and after booking a room, they went to the tooth shop.

For the sake of safety, the two appeared as descendants of a large family.

The external saying is that he wants to go back to the master's house in Fucheng to report the news.

can afford the money, coupled with some extravagance that Shen Guixiang inadvertently revealed, so that the two hired a driver to drive the car without any danger.

And this statement, when they arrive in Anqing Mansion, they can still continue to use it.

Correspondingly, the driver has to be constantly replaced.

As for the route to Qiongzhou Mansion in the south, they originally planned to take the land route, but considering the long distance and too many uncertain factors, the mother and daughter were weak and finally changed to the sea route.

Approaching the sea, even if you encounter some wind and waves, you should be thrilling.

After resting in the county seat for the night, early the next morning, Shen Guixiang and Shen Yun set off early.

Out of the county seat, Benfu City, and then transfer to Quanzhou Port.

……

It took three days to stop and stop on the road, and the two finally arrived at Quanzhou Port safely.

Fortunately, there was a convoy at the port bound for the South Seas trade, which was to be paused in Qiongzhou for two days.

Shen Guixiang and Shen Wan paid the money and boarded one of the passenger ships.

More than ninety percent of the passengers on this passenger ship are ordinary people who go to Nanyang to make money.

Daning did not ban the sea, on the contrary, it also encouraged the people to go to the sea for profit. Moreover, whenever a civilian fleet goes to sea, the sailors of the imperial court will accompany them to escort them.

This time, Shen Guixiang and Shen Yun boarded the fleet, and they were escorted by the sailors of the imperial court. There were six gunboats, two troop carriers, and as many as twelve supply ships.

And the fleet itself that goes to sea for trade has more than 50 cargo ships and passenger ships.

The huge fleet sailed out of Quanzhou Port, Shen Yun stood on the deck, looking at the blue sea in front of her, her heart was full of pride, and her new life would also unfold.
