Chapter 293: A Bowl of Hot Powder
A few brocade guards were obviously warm, and they looked at Zhu Hongyu with grateful eyes.
The brocade guard, who had not fallen into the water, also helped Zhu Hongyu find firewood and lit the bonfire.
The warm light of the fire fell on Zhu Hongyu's body, and it felt warm and comfortable.
Zhu Hongyu didn't have time to enjoy this warmth, she stood aside, thinking about what was left in the hands of these people.
At least, for Zhu Hongyu, she is now bankrupt.
The sudden change can only be known by the gods in advance.
And Zhu Hongyu didn't know that at the moment when she woke up, the boat suddenly capsized.
"How many of you carry the Brocade Guard's Impermanence and Seal with you?"
Zhu Hongyu's question is like a nail in everyone's heart.
The loss of Jinyiwei's seal letter is an extremely serious problem, if there is someone else to prove that there is an accident, it is fine, but if there is no one to corroborate, the final problem will be very serious.
But the problem now is far from being as simple as the loss of the seal letter, but the lack of proof of Jinyiwei's identity...... How to survive is a question.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other.
No one wanted to admit that they didn't wear the seal with them, and no one wanted to admit that they didn't do anything except for the little effort on their bodies and the fact that they knew a little word.
Zhu Hongyu looked at everyone and sighed.
"Well, let's take out all the things you have on your body, and we'll figure out how to use them. At least get out of Ganzhou alive, and wait for the fate after arriving in Bianjing. ”
The Jinyi guards generously donated and took out the scattered silver taels, swords, and peiyu they were carrying.
A calculation, as well as two taels of scattered silver that had just arrived, three swords, and a jade plate.
Together, these things are indeed enough to buy chariots and horses, but if they buy chariots and horses, a few people must stay here and make money to support themselves.
Xu Jingyi heard Zhu Hongyu ask this, stood up and smiled.
"Girl, we don't have anything left, the seal is still money and food, and the things we carry with us are a few. Ay...... Now, I'm afraid none of us can escape. ”
Lao Xu's mentality is somewhat good, and now they have picked up a life and come back.
As long as you find money and food, it is not difficult to return to Bianjing on time.
The difficulty lies in how to return to Bianjing on time.
Zhu Hongyu looked at Lao Xu, seeing that he was in such a good state of mind, he actually relaxed a lot.
The solutions are all thought up by people, and when it is uncomfortable, the final result may be good.
"It's okay, everyone can return to the land safe and sound today, at least we didn't go to Lord Yama to report, isn't this also a good thing?"
Zhu Hongyu's words were very soft, and she didn't want to blame anyone.
Of course, it is true that these brocade guards will not be blamed by Zhu Hongyu.
"Now, the most important thing for us is to get out of here and return to Bianjing. I have two ways, listen to me. ”
Everyone turned their attention to Zhu Hongyu, expecting her to come up with some way out of this predicament.
"The first is Xu Jingyi, you take a few brocade guards to prove each other's identities, and ask the county magistrate for some funding. Don't take Zhu Amber with you when you go, the rights and wrongs in this official gate are all men's business. Take her with you, maybe it will delay things. Second, those of us who are alive should try our best to make some money, so that we can go to Bianjing when we have saved enough money. ”
The crowd scoffed at the second method.
Of course, Xu Jingyi saw it thoroughly, he knew that it was very likely impossible to take someone to prove his identity, and the current officials only looked at the seal letter and not the person, so it was useless for him to say anything.
But in this case, it can only be said that they are trying, if the county officials are good talkers, it is difficult to send them back to Bianjing.
Ay...... Who knows what the result will be after that.
"That's what the girl said...... I hope so, I hope the prefect of Ganzhou is a good talker. ”
Zhu Hongyu looked at Xu Jingyi, thinking that now that she had walked to Ganzhou, a little further east was her home, and after all, she could go home at least once to get the money.
"That's it, my home is in Yunmeng Town, we have now arrived in Ganzhou, as long as I find a way to get to Yunmeng Town, I will have a way to get money and buy cars and horses. After that, let's rush towards Bianjing, it's not a delay. ”
Xu Jingyi nodded, he touched the familiar position on his waist, the cigarette stick had already fallen on the boat with the shaking just now, and now there is no way to smoke a cigarette to calm down.
Zhu Hongyu's proposal can't be said to be good, but it is the only way now.
The brocade guards standing on the side listened to the discussion between Zhu Hongyu and Xu Jingyi, and couldn't help but come forward to talk.
"Girl, Master Xu. Now we might as well find someone to go down to the boat, and the silver taels that are fished can be directly used to buy cars and horses, why do we still want to make money? When does it take to make money? ”
Zhu Hongyu sighed and shook her head, thinking that the quality of Jinyiwei was too ordinary.
There is no basic knowledge of survival at all.
Such a big ship sank to the bottom all of a sudden, even if it was fishing, it would take a month, and besides, it was said that the money had to be taken first to start construction, could it be decided to ask for money or not to have money after it was fished?
It's just too impossible.
Xu Jingyi couldn't listen to it anymore, and said angrily: "If it's so easy to ask someone to make money, you take your brother down to make money?" The river is ten meters long, and the boat has also fallen into the middle of the river. It's a blessing in misfortune that we can pick up a life, and we have to go down to the river to make money? How many lives do you have to waste? ”
Hearing Xu Jingyi's words, the person who spoke was silent, so he could only sit back on the original reef and continue to roast the fire.
Zhu Hongyu looked at a group of people who were not angry at all, and she was really a little helpless.
"That's it, Master Xu, it's still early, let's walk towards the place where there are residents. Find a place to stay. Even if they can turn things into fate, their help is only very limited. It's better to plan ahead. ”
Xu Jingyi nodded and glanced at the little brother who was following closely beside him.
"Wei Ruan, you follow Miss Zhu to look for it, and I will take someone to the county government office for help in a while."
Zhu Hongyu sighed and exchanged glances with Wei Ruan.
Now she can go and ask for help, but she is afraid of this place, she is not familiar with the place, and if something happens to her sister, it is really not good.
"Amber, are you going with us, or are you staying here by yourself?"
Amber thought to herself, a man with two women, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be considered a wife and a concubine, so it is not good to ask for help. Besides, these nine brocade guards, the escorts are the four of them, if none of them stay here, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no infighting.
When the time comes, it's too late to say anything.
"I'm here and waiting for you. Go early and come back as soon as possible. ”
Zhu Hongyu pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but quickly swallowed what she wanted to say.
"Okay, I'll go early and come back early. That...... Master Xu, can you take someone with us? ”
Xu Jingyi called another person to follow him, and the four of them went on the road together, according to Xu Jingyi's arrangement, the four of them walked along the river embankment to the east.
Walking this way is nothing more than to be able to meet the villages along the river, if you can see people driving chariots and horses up to ask, if you are lucky, you can also meet the docks.
For the first half hour, I didn't meet anyone. To be honest, Zhu Hongyu was still quite worried, for fear that the ancient land was vast and sparsely populated.
The most fearful thing is that there is no one to settle in this land.
Stop-and-go, severe pain under the feet.
Finally, after walking for almost an hour, I came across a village built along the river.
Xu Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief and finally saw a corner of the village.
"Oh my God, this place, it's amazing."
Vermilion cursed weakly as she walked towards the village.
Xu Jingyi is much calmer than Zhu Hongyu, and after many years in Jinyiwei, he has already developed the habit of pampering and not being shocked.
"Let's go and find out, where is there any flour for sale, pad my stomach and I'll go."
Zhu Hongyu saw that Xu Jingyi was relaxed and let out a long sigh.
"I'm still convinced that your mentality can still be so good in this place."
Xu Jingyi looked at Zhu Hongyu and smiled heartily.
"Little girl, when you reach my age, you will know what the phrase "Destiny of Heaven" means. No matter how bad it is, the food still has to be eaten, and the work must be done slowly. Before I met Lord An and Master Lu, I almost couldn't get along in Bianjing. Although I am not a hundred households now, I know that the good news is to come. ”
Zhu Hongyu just smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
After entering the village, several people went around, the village was not large, and there were few people doing business, and finally found a place to eat.
Unexpectedly, this place sells hot powder, which is Zhu Hongyu's favorite staple food. After seeing the hot powder, Zhu Hongyu finally felt that what Xu Jingyi said just now might be a bit of a crosshair.
"Master Xu, you're right, maybe the good things are behind."
Xu Jingyi smiled and said to the boss in a Jinling Yayan tone: "I want three bowls of hot powder, and I want a big bowl." ”
This store saw that there were no customers all day long, and finally one came to eat, and I was very happy.
Quickly put the stock in his store into the pot, added seasonings to it, and it didn't take long to prepare the hot powder.
Put it in a bowl, one bowl per person.
Zhu Hongyu and the other four people were already sitting in front of the wooden table, hungry, and saw the fragrance of hot powder, and the spicy taste was a specialty of Ganzhou.
Before Xu Jingyi and the others could eat, Zhu Hongyu had already swallowed all the food into her stomach.
The spicy taste of chopped pepper is just right.
"That's right."
A large bowl was stuffed into Zhu Hongyu's belly, and she felt like her whole body was going to explode.
Since she left Ganzhou two months ago, she has never eaten her hometown's specialties. Unexpectedly, when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, there was a whole bowl of hot powder in front of her.
What a satisfaction, what a blessing.
At that time, Jin Yuanjing once said the words "good fortune and misfortune", Zhu Hongyu originally didn't believe it, and felt that it was a kind of fatalism.
However, now I have to believe it.
"Girl, you are from Ganzhou!" The boss heard Zhu Hongyu's heartfelt praise from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly greeted him.
