Chapter 9 Let's go to Youzhou

"Poof! Poof! "Suddenly the sound of two heavy objects falling into the water was particularly abrupt in this silent night, and there were people on the boat who were on duty at night, and soon they heard the sound of falling water from the stern, and for a while, the boat remembered the shouting, and the people began to gather to the stern with torches.

"Someone fell overboard...... Overboard, come on! ……”

The screams woke up the people who were asleep.

Only Wang's mother is still sleeping sweetly......

The stern of the boat quickly became a mess, because it was the stern of the boat that fell into the water, and the painting boat was still moving forward, and the point of falling into the water was getting farther and farther away from the hull...

Tonight's moon is the lower moon, the wind is very small, and the clouds are very thick.

The moonlight shone faintly on the water, and it was impossible to see the situation on the water at all while standing on the boat.

The channel into which the boat sailed was very narrow, and the jagged reeds on both sides of the river swayed slightly in unison with the breeze. Looking from the boat, only a faint black shadow can be seen.

Eventually, the people on the boat gave up the idea of going into the water to search, and the boat could only hover on the water for the time being, waiting for dawn.

In the darkness, two smaller shadows crept out of the reeds.

Both of them were wet, and the burden wrapped around their bodies was even heavier because they were wet.

"Xiao Cui, hold on a little longer, we can't rest here, we must leave here quickly." Tang Xiaotang took Xiaocui's hand, and after the two went ashore, they didn't dare to stay for a moment.

"Miss, I'm fine, let's go quickly." Xiao Cui gasped, although the wet clothes on her body were very uncomfortable, she still insisted on following the young lady, and kept hurrying.

Taking advantage of the dark night, no one saw the two on the road, Tang Xiaotang and Xiaocui didn't know how far they had run, and they knew that the clothes on their bodies were half dry, so they climbed a hill and entered a land temple. The simple temple has no courtyard wall, standing alone on the hill, and the two stone pillars in front of the door have been mottled and mottled, and it is impossible to see whether it is a stone lion or a horse tie stake. All around are trees as thick as a person's arms.

The master and servant picked up some dry branches and entered the land temple. Tang Xiaotang found some more hay, kneaded it into pieces with his palms, found an open space, picked two handy branches and squatted on the ground to prepare to drill wood for fire.

After Xiao Cui followed the young lady to pick up the branches and enter the temple, she put down the branches, first ran to kneel in front of the desk and bowed down devoutly, praying for the blessing of the land father-in-law, and forgiving the two of them for staying warm here.

Xiao Cui hurriedly dried the clothes on her body, so as not to catch a cold and get sick. As soon as dawn comes, we both have to get out of here. Tang Xiaotang had already taken off the half-dry clothes on his body, urging Xiaocui to come over and bake the clothes.

Xiao Cui was sure that neither she nor Miss had a fire fold on them, and she didn't know how Miss lit the fire, so she looked at the bonfire with a blank expression, and forgot to bake her clothes for a while.

"Miss, how did you get on fire?"

"Drill wood to make fire" Tang Xiaotang didn't want to go into too much detail, he took care of baking his clothes, and was careful not to be burned by the flames.

In modern times, Tang Xiaotang's favorite thing is to watch the show of survival in the wild, and he learned a variety of skills for making fire in the wild with Bell, and today is the first time to use the small skill of drilling wood for fire.

Xiao Cui saw that Miss was baking clothes, and quickly took off her clothes and baked them, Miss was right, now neither of them can get sick at this time.

"Xiaocui, we have silver on us, tomorrow is dawn, first look for the way into the city, it is estimated that the people of the Ma family will look for our bodies on both sides of the strait at dawn, if they can't find it, they will definitely look for us in the nearby city." So tomorrow we're going to go into town as soon as we can, and we're going to buy men's clothes to change into, and then we're going to think about where we're going. Tang Xiaotang calculated in his heart the reaction speed of the Ma family after they found out that they had escaped, thinking that the most important thing now was to disguise themselves and mix up the Ma family's search and search.

"And where are we going to change our clothes?" Xiaocui doesn't have any idea at all, she only knows what the young lady says and does, and she changes her clothes, but where do she go after she changes?

Tang Xiaotang frowned, looked at the bonfire and fell into deep thought.

The Tang family can't go back, and when they go back, they will be sent to the Ma family, their own body is still Tang Haitang, Tang Haitang was a big lady who didn't go out of the door and didn't step out of the second door before her death, although the Tang family declined, but she was also raised in the deep boudoir unknown to everyone. Just now, Tang Xiaotang worked hard to search for the memories that Tang Haitang left in his mind, Tang Haitang was a person who had never seen the outside world, and there were no relatives and friends who could help her to take refuge.

Tang Xiaotang thought about it, and finally decided that it would be better to find his birthplace Kyoto, which is the place where he was born and lived in modern times. Although the cityscape of today is very different from the city thousands of years later, after all, it is a familiar place, and he may be able to find some livelihood to survive, so that he and Xiaocui can make a living and make other plans.

Kyoto should still be called Youzhou now, although it is not as prosperous as Chang'an in this era, but far away from the imperial court, the chance of being found by the Ma family will be smaller.

"Let's go to Youzhou"

"Miss, Youzhou is far away, why do we run so far?" Xiaocui didn't know why Miss was going, although it was always Miss who said that everything was right, but Miss had never been far away, so how could she want to go anywhere? What should I do if I encounter an accident along the way north? finally escaped, and when I met the villains again, how should I deal with the two weak women, myself and Miss?

"Miss, now that it is very close to the border pass, and under the influence of the Hu people, the people are fierce, and now it is not as peaceful and prosperous as it was back then, let's not run so far, right? There will be dangerous ......" Xiao Cui didn't go along with Miss for the first time, tried to persuade Miss to change her mind for the first time, and unconfidently said that she had heard about the situation in Youzhou from others, and secretly looked at Miss's reaction, hoping that Miss could listen to her once.

"Little Cui! We can't go back to our home anyway, so let's go to Youzhou first, I heard that the trade with the Hu people is very prosperous, maybe we can try to do some business, maybe we can find a chance to make a fortune. Tang Xiaotang searched hard in his mind for the historical information of this dynasty, there should be no major war at present, maybe go to the border to find some opportunities to do some business, now this dynasty is the heyday of the Silk Road, he used some of the historical knowledge he learned, maybe he could use it in this era, and maybe he could help himself make a small fortune, thinking that it was so decided, Tang Xiaotang didn't want to change it.
