"Heicheng, Heicheng ......"

Looking at the magnificent and powerful "Pingcheng" two blue-gray characters on the wall of the city gate from afar, Mu Wanqiu trembled with excitement, "I finally walked out of the mountain!" ”

Thinking of the days and nights when she was in the company of wild beasts in the mountains, sleeping in the open air and being frightened, Mu Wanqiu's tears fell, and she went to Pingcheng, and then went south after Pingcheng, which is Shuoyang, known as the small fragrance capital, and it is the fragrance mecca she dreamed of.

With a sigh of relief, Mu Wanqiu sat on the ground all of a sudden.

She can't count how many days she has walked, she only knows that the soles of these two feet are blistered and broken, and until now, every step is burning and hurting, and she is not in a hurry when she sees the city gate, she can rest well.

I ran out of dry food last night from the last town. Touching a few copper plates in the deflated baggage, Mu Wanqiu swallowed her saliva fiercely, not afraid, not afraid, you will have something to eat when you enter the city in a while, while comforting herself, Mu Wanqiu raised her head, and looked at the two city guards in the hole of the upper city gate wearing sleeveless guards with the red and yellow word "pawn", and shivered violently.

As the daughter of a criminal officer, she was alone and died in the world, even a soldier on the way would make her heart beat for a long time, staggering the gaze of the soldier, Mu Wanqiu's body moved, but she didn't get up. I secretly looked at the city gate, but fortunately, there were no notices such as avatars posted on the city walls, and there were no shadow graphics, which was no better than a small village in the mountains, and a stranger came to know it in less than a quarter of an hour.

This is a big city, and there are many homeless people coming and going, and some of the ragged little girls like her are, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let me catch me face to face, I won't suspect that I am a fugitive......" Looking at the refugees like her who came in and out of the city gate, Mu Wanqiu comforted herself in her heart.

Despite this, she stood up with her snake beating stick and gritted her teeth.

In any case, she is always a fugitive, and it is better not to bask at the gates of this city.

Feeling that the eyes of the two soldiers in the doorway had been revolving around her, Mu Wanqiu felt that this doorway in Pingcheng was so long, she stiffened her back, tried her best to make herself look natural and calm, step by step, she moved herself into Pingcheng.

"Go, go, go......" Seeing the hot steamed buns on the stall, Mu Wanqiu took out a penny and pounced, and before she got close, she was pushed away by Xiao Eryi, "Stinky food, stay away, don't stain my steamed buns......"

“…… Whoever asks for food, blind you! She was already hungry and fainted, and was pushed away in disgust, and Mu Wanqiu surged up with anger.

The little two turned their heads in disgust.

Looking at the hot steamed buns, Mu Wanqiu was about to step forward, but someone grabbed her back, "...... Little girl, this alley is not a place for the poor, you go all the way here, turn left when you reach the tailor shop, the things there are cheap, and Master Zeng also opened a soup kitchen in Badaowan Hutong, so I can take care of your ......."

Mu Wanqiu turned her head, she was a gray-haired old lady.

"Auntie, I have a rich ......" Mu Wanqiu spread out her palm to reveal the copper coin in her hand.

Glancing at her, the old lady shook her head and sighed.

Following the eldest lady's gaze, Mu Wanqiu subconsciously looked down at herself, although her hands and feet were still clean, but the clothes covered with patches had been scraped one by one by the branches, stained with dust, and anyone who looked at it was a person who asked for food, and her mind instantly calmed down.

She is no longer the daughter of the high-ranking prime minister!

The outstretched hand clenched into a fist, holding the penny tightly in the palm of her hand, Mu Wanqiu blessed the old lady, said thank you, turned around and slowly walked forward along the path she pointed out.

Wrapped two steamed buns in oiled paper, Xiao Er, who sold steamed buns, sent a chubby guest, and when he looked up, he was facing Mu Wanqiu's back, blinking unconsciously, blinking again, could it be that he was dazzled, a poor man who wanted food, how could he be so graceful and elegant?

opened his mouth, Xiao Er, who was selling steamed buns, felt that his throat and eyes were dry, and he couldn't speak, seeing Mu Wanqiu disappear into the alley in front of him, Xiao Er slapped himself hard and said to himself, "...... I looked away again, and I heard that several eldest ladies of the Zeng family often like to come out in micro-clothes, maybe she is from the Zeng family! "A steamed bun in my hand was pinched and shriveled," ...... Good and decent, I missed an opportunity to meet a noble person! ”

coincided with the great drought, the food and drink along the way were scary, the original three wen a steamed bun rose to ten wen, thousands of provinces, to Pingcheng, Mu Wanqiu only had less than a penny left in her baggage, she originally didn't plan to live in the hotel, she thought of squeezing those homeless children in the mountain temple, at this time was shouted by Xiao Er, who sold steamed buns, Mu Wanqiu changed her mind.

She inquired, Pingcheng is at least six or seven days away from Shuoyang, this is calculated according to the carriage, she walks step by step, maybe longer, even if there are two tortillas a day, the hundreds of dollars in her pocket can't last Pingcheng at all, she can only sell the musk.

She knew that clothes were important to a person, so she went in tatters, and not only did the musk not sell for a price, but it was difficult to say that it was robbed.

After taking a hot bath, Mu Wanqiu opened her baggage and took out the only set of clothes, on the placket of the blue-gray clothes, Ma Yong's daughter-in-law carefully embroidered a circle of flowers that were very popular in the village with red thread, and it could be seen that although she was poor, she still wanted to dress herself up beautifully.

It was originally a set of men's clothes, but it was changed like this, it was a little nondescript, it was not as good as the scratched set on her body, there were no flowers, washed and worn on the body, simple and elegant, but there was a kind of neutral beauty, and this one washed white and patched clothes, but showed a circle of fiery red fresh flowers, very eye-catching, in the small mountain village is acceptable, to Pingcheng, especially cheesy.

It's ugly!

Shaking off her clothes, Mu Wanqiu wanted to laugh, grinning, tears fell uncontrollably, although the clothes were ugly, but this dense needle and thread all revealed the simple love of Ma Yong's daughter-in-law and the simple and innocent aesthetics of the villagers.

Auntie did everything she could to be good for her.

There was a knock on the door, and Mu Wanqiu hurriedly changed her clothes.

It was the shopkeeper who came in with a pot of boiling water, "...... The hot water that the guest officer asked for is boiled, what kind of tea does the guest officer want to drink? The shopkeeper looked Mu Wanqiu up and down, regardless of whether he had any clothes on his body, and held back a smile, "The little one will make you ......."

Feeling that her face was hot, Mu Wanqiu barely straightened her back, "Just white water, you can put it there......"

She couldn't afford tea.

The shopkeeper was stunned, glanced at his mouth, and then put on a smile again, "...... The guest officer also knew that during the great drought, the wells in the city were dry, and the water was brought from Longquan Mountain, thirty miles away, by the small shop, and you had to pay for it even if you didn't make tea......"

"How much?" Mu Wanqiu frowned.

“…… Not much, this pot is a penny. The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles.

A penny!

A penny can buy half a tortilla, and paint a pot of ordinary flower tea to drink in the morning, he might as well grab it.

Mu Wanqiu's eyebrows jumped, and she was about to speak, when she caught a glimpse of the hot sun outside the window, and sighed, yes, even the moat has dried up, and now water is really more expensive than oil.

He turned around and took out a copper plate and handed it over.

The shopkeeper immediately smiled, "...... What else does the guest officer command, just say. ”

"Hmm......" Mu Wanqiu thought for a while, "Little second brother, is there an incense shop in this city that buys spices?" ”
