Chapter 8: Named Songluo
The girl looked at Xu Qiaoyou, who was full of pride and ambition, she was stunned, the first time someone asked her if she wanted to go together, and it was the first time that someone was willing to take her away, give her a meal and bathe, and buy new clothes, she felt that even if she went up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, she would always follow her.
"Okay." The girl nodded vigorously.
Xu Qiaoyou looked at her with a smile, in fact, she took the girl with her, she was also thoughtful, she couldn't throw the girl alone, and she didn't know the place of life, the key is that she didn't even have the common sense of this world, if it went out of the dust mountain, if it could go well, she would plan for the girl, if it didn't go well, she would have to stay here for seven years, then after seven years, the girl would grow up, and she could support herself.
"Then I'll give you a name, it's not good to always call you a girl."
"Let's call you a loose basket, it's the name of a tea that I like very much......"
Loose basket, pine basket, the girl muttered to herself, her name, pine basket, is so good.
"Then the pine basket, let's set off to the Dust Mountain." Xu Qiaoyou took her hand, from now on, they will depend on each other, and they will have an extra responsibility.
"Okay." Songluo's eyes were red, and from now on, she was no longer alone.
Going downstairs to check out of the room, Xu Qiao thought about preparing some dry food, water or something, and seeing what other necessities to prepare.
"Songluo, where is that dust mountain? Far from it? ”
"Chuchen Mountain is at the junction of the three dynasties, I heard that the four seasons are like spring, it is very beautiful, and it is far away from us, we are the border of the Yue Dynasty here."
It turns out that the Holy Lord is a mountain king?
"Shall we hire a carriage then?" She couldn't walk far away, and she didn't dare to sleep in the wild at night.
Song Luo has been wandering here for a long time, and she is still very familiar with each place, under her leadership, she soon arrived at the place where the carriage was hired, but Xu Qiaoyou inquired, it was completely sky-high, and it actually cost six hundred veins, she didn't have so many belongings in her body, and she didn't even have the heart to bargain, because even if she cut half of it, she couldn't afford to rent it.
In the end, the two of them sat helplessly on the side of the street, at a loss, Xu Qiaoyou watched the people coming and going on the street, thinking that there was no shared bicycle to ride...... What should I do?
"Songluo, usually when you go out far away, besides carriages and walking, what other means of transportation, uh, is there any other way and way?"
"Hmm...... Horseback riding. ”
Well, if she can ride a horse, no, even if she can ride, she can't afford it, let alone raise it......
What to do? Why don't you just buy a map and go? If you're lucky, you can find a cave or something to stay in at night? I don't know if there is such a profession as a bandit in this world......
"Sister Youyou, let's go to the dart game." Songluo suddenly remembered what the storyteller had said.
"Dart game? Do? Think of yourself as a bodyguard? Isn't it more expensive to ask for a bouncer? ”
"No, Sister Youyou, let's go to the dart bureau and ask, if there are any darts on the way recently, if there are, we can ask them to take us along the way, it should only be a little money."
"Ah, Songluo, you are really too smart and powerful, you can come up with this method." Xu Qiaoyou hugged Wu Wu excitedly.
"Actually, it's not what I thought of, it's what I've heard before." Songluo leaned on Xu Qiaoyou's chest, the first time someone held her like this, a sense of happiness spread in the bottom of her heart, and tears came out of her eyes......
"What's wrong, loose basket? Did I hurt you? Xu Qiaoyou hurriedly wiped her tears.
"No, no, let's go and ask, don't miss it."
The two of them trotted all the way to the gate of the only dart bureau in the city, worry-free was already out of breath, but Xu Qiaoyou didn't even pant for breath, she looked at the loose basket, thinking that this little girl's physique was too poor, and she had to exercise with her when she turned around.
Asked the people of the dart bureau, the method of the pine basket is really useful, and their luck is simply so good that it bursts, there is just a dart to transport tea to the dust mountain, so they can be sent directly to the destination, the rule is fifty veins per person, the two of them are one hundred veins, you can take the carriage accompanying the dart bureau, but the dry food and bedding are buried, and the trip is half a month.
Half a month, a full fifteen days, half a month to take a carriage, Xu Qiaoyu smacked her tongue, she just walked if she thought it wouldn't work, and it was estimated that she couldn't get to it if her foot was broken.
However, there is not much time left for them at this time, the dart game does not wait for anyone, if you miss it I don't know what year and month it will be, so you must buy the necessities before the dart game and wait for the dart game.
Xu Qiaoyou pulled Songluo into a corner and asked her to help block it, while she unbuttoned the top of her clothes and began to take money from her underwear. Song Luo looked at her actions dumbfounded, and her face turned red all of a sudden: "Sister Youyou, what are you doing?" ”
"Take the money, I thought about it for a while, time is pressing, the two of us have to act separately, otherwise it will be too late." The biggest inconvenience of hiding this money too well is that it is not easy to take the money.
Xu Qiaoyou took out a purple gold leaf and put it in the pocket on the side, this is the money to be given to the dart bureau later, she took out a few gold leaves and gave them to the pine basket, and ordered: "Pine basket, you are familiar with the shop here, you take this to buy a thicker blanket, not too big, enough for the two of us to wrap it, buy two cloaks, and then buy four towels for washing." ”
"What is a towel?"
"Uh, cotton? The cloth you use to wash your face and bathe. ”
"Hand towels."
"Huh? Okay, that's that, buy four, I'll go buy dry food, and after I buy it, I will meet at the door of the dart board, understand? ”
Songluo nodded heavily, she was glad that she could contribute.
So the two of them walked in two directions, Xu Qiaoyou was calculating as he walked, how much dry food would the two of them need in half a month, there were no instant noodles or compressed biscuits in this era, only air-dried things were easy to preserve, how much should I buy? What about staple foods? If you want to buy rice, you have to buy a pot...... This is unrealistic, you can only buy some steamed buns and some air-dried meat products first, and then replenish them when you meet the town on the road.
Xu Qiaoyou quickly bought a large bag of steamed buns and all kinds of jerky, bought a big kettle, the store also gave boiling water, and bought some candy as snacks, and finally bought a bag of melon seeds and peanuts after thinking about it, so as not to be bored on the road. After buying it, before she arrived at the door of the dart board, she saw that the pine basket was carrying a big burden and was already waiting for her at the door. She walked over with a smile on her face, raised the snack bag in her hand, and was about to show it off, when she suddenly thought of a very serious question - the day when her great aunt came was not far away, what should she do now?
