Chapter 160: It's not easy to go out
Two thieves in one day, dry food was lost, money was gone, and he was forced to flee in the middle of the night.
Now Sun Shangxiang finally realized that this world is not the same as what he lived in Wujun City and Chaisang City.
originally thought that relying on his own martial arts, he could go to this world. Now I find that I can't even go fifty miles outside Chaisang City.
For a moment, Sun Shangxiang wanted to go back to Chaisang.
However, Sun Shangxiang is a good-looking person.
Just went back, it wasn't to let his second brother laugh at himself, and if he didn't make it good, he had to obediently use it as a tool for political marriage and marry a fifty-year-old man.
Besides, I still have Xiaohong.
Xiaohong is a good horse, she has rescued herself from danger twice in a row, and the distance is very fast, as long as she crosses the river, it may only take three or five days to go to Nanjun.
As for not eating for three or five days, it shouldn't matter.
Well, this is a little girl who lacks common sense, not only unfamiliar with geography, but also unfamiliar with her own body.
But she can't be blamed for this.
Although Sun Shangxiang often goes out of the city to hunt, her hunting is completely playful, even if she catches some rabbits, if she can catch a deer, it will be a bumper harvest.
And after she finished hunting the prey, after returning home, someone naturally prepared it for herself, and Sun Shangxiang had no experience in surviving in the wild at all.
As for the geographical problem, Sun Shangxiang is the farthest away from the city, that is, twenty or thirty miles, after all, Jiangdong in these years was all woods, and there was no need to run too far to catch rabbits.
How did she know how far Nanjun was from Chaisang, and even she only knew that Nanjun was east of Chaisang, and she didn't know how far Nanjun was from Chaisang.
In this way, Sun Shangxiang rode her little red and hurried in the dark, until the sky began to brighten and saw a village again, and Sun Shangxiang was a little relieved.
Of course, the main thing is that I am a little hungry.
But because of the shadow of last night's stay, Sun Shangxiang didn't dare to call the door easily, but dismounted at the entrance of the village to rest, squinting for a while, after all, he hadn't slept all night.
was sleeping in a daze, Sun Shangxiang heard Xiaohong's hissing, opened his eyes, and found several figures squatting in front of him.
Sun Shangxiang suddenly came to his senses, and his first reaction was to draw his sword, but there were several children in front of him.
The eldest one, about eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one, maybe only six or seven years old, just curiously surrounded her Xiaohong, pointing and teasing Xiaohong, Xiaohong was obviously a little impatient, so she made a noise to scare the child.
Sun Shangxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
He was about to step forward to disperse the children, but suddenly he heard a blushing sound coming from his stomach, and several children all looked back at him.
Well, my face is even redder now.
When several children saw Sun Shangxiang wake up, they seemed to be frightened, and they no longer surrounded Xiaohong, and under the leadership of the eldest child, they turned around and ran.
Sun Shangxiang didn't know what to say, and stared blankly at the figures of several children running away.
The eldest child was running, suddenly stopped, turned around, groped around for a while, and suddenly ran towards Sun Shangxiang again.
"Big sister, this is for you."
After saying this, the eldest child stuffed the things in his hand into Sun Shangxiang's hand, and then ran away again.
Sun Shangxiang silently opened the thing in his hand. A palm-sized piece that can't see the material, but something black.
I got close to my nose and smelled it, but I could smell a little fragrance, and I twisted a piece and put it in my mouth. It's not very chewy, mixed with hard things, but it's quite fragrant, and it seems to be something to eat.
Sun Shangxiang didn't know how to describe her current mood.
In the past, in Wu County, or in Chaisang, the delicacies of the mountains and seas that I had eaten did not seem to have the fragrance of this black cake in my hand.
Although it looks very dark and has a hard bite, it is mixed with something that seems to be like a rice husk, and it is a little scratchy when eaten, but it is really delicious.
Eating, eating, Sun Shangxiang had an urge to cry.
After eating the black cake in his hand in three or two bites, Sun Shangxiang took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and continued on the road.
They continued to ride their horses all the way north, and finally came to a village again before dark.
Sun Shangxiang did not go to the big family this time, but observed the periphery of the village for a long time, and then found a family and stepped forward to call the door.
The reason why I chose this family is because Sun Shangxiang found that there seems to be only one woman and two children in this family, and such a family will not be the same as the family I met last night, right?!
But the problem is that Sun Shangxiang is worried that the Zhuang family has bad intentions, a widow with two children, and when someone calls the door at night, she doesn't dare to open the door easily.
Sun Shangxiang knocked on the door for a long time, but still no one came to open it, and in disappointment, he had to take Xiaohong and fall asleep in a daze in the leeward place at the base of the wall.
In this place in the south of the Yangtze River, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and the humidity is very heavy, so it is very uncomfortable to sleep in the wild.
is also with this girl who does exercise regularly, her physical fitness is good, and Xiaohong can rely on her to keep warm, otherwise she would have been sick if she slept in the wild for two consecutive nights.
It wasn't until the family got up early and found Sun Shangxiang squatting under the wall that he was woken up by the kind host's family and invited him to the house to rest.
"Girl, you too. You are a girl's family, how can you go out alone, and your family doesn't worry about you?! ”
The host was really kind, and asked with concern while boiling hot water for Sun Shangxiang to warm up.
Sun Shangxiang didn't know how to answer, so he had to say that he was going to Nanjun to join his relatives, and he was separated from his relatives on the way, and he should find him soon.
Now Sun Shangxiang has learned not to collapse any truth, and the province will be wronged again.
The host didn't continue to ask, but took care of Sun Shangxiang, and saw that Sun Shangxiang's body was warm, and then said, "Girl, you can rest here with me first, if your family finds you and wants to leave, just help the old woman bring the door." ”
After saying this, the master took the farm tools in the corner of the house and prepared to work in the field.
What Sun Shangxiang didn't expect the most was that the two children of the master's family, who looked like they were only seven or eight years old, also picked up the basket together and went to the ground together.
Sun Shangxiang didn't know what she should do for a while, and wanted to help, but she didn't know how to do farm work at all, but she felt sorry to stay in this room like this.
In the end, Sun Shangxiang decided to follow and have a look.
Whether it will be or not, it is a little bit to help her, Sun Shangxiang is not the kind of person who does not repay her kindness.
But. Soon, Sun Shangxiang was disgusted by the owner's family, and asked her not to make trouble in the field if she had nothing to do, and the seedlings that were finally planted were trampled on by this girl.
Sun Shangxiang was aggrieved and pitiful to stand aside.
And the host is also a really kind person, looking at the appearance of this girl, I probably guessed which lady this may be, so I asked her to accompany the two children, so that I don't have to worry about the children running to the ditch to play and encountering danger.
Sun Shangxiang was finally happy, she helped after all.
The host shook his head and smiled bitterly, continued to work, and when he finished his work, he packed up his things and beckoned Sun Shangxiang home.
I have to talk to this little girl, she dares to go out without such a concept, if she is really separated from her family, it is fine, if she really runs out alone, it is very dangerous.
Therefore, Sun Shangxiang stayed at the master's house for another night and ate black cakes again. The owner said that this is called bran cake, which is not a good thing, but when the green and yellow are not harvested, the farmers point to it to fool their stomachs and try to survive this time.
Only then did Sun Shangxiang know that this was the legendary bran cake, which was used to feed livestock in Wu Jun's house.
Sun Shangxiang didn't know what to say for a while, so she grabbed food with Xiaohong.
But even so, the ones who could eat the bran cake were Sun Shangxiang and the two children, and the host just watched the three of them eat with a smile on his face, but he didn't eat anything.
After Sun Shangxiang finished eating half of the bran cake and drank two bowls of water, the host talked to Sun Shangxiang about it.
"Girl, since you are alone, there are some things, the old woman still has to mention you a few words" The host smiled and began to preach to Sun Shangxiang.
After listening to the master's preaching, Sun Shangxiang knew that people in this era have so much attention when they go out.
The first is clothing.
Sun Shangxiang wears a strong outfit to go out, this is not a problem, but the problem is that she is dressed well, people know that she is a girl at a glance, and in troubled times, a girl who goes out alone does not rob her, who does it rob.
The second is that Sun Shangxiang has no experience of going out at all.
Let's take yesterday as an example, Sun Shangxiang knocked on the door as if reporting a funeral, and there was always only one sentence, "Open the door, open the door quickly." ”
Where is this lodging, this is here to smash the door and rob it.
was so scared that the owner's family hugged the two children last night and almost didn't dare to sleep all night.
The third, Sun Shangxiang went out, but he didn't take it with him.
The pass is the voucher for the people to go out in this era, and the identity documents that must be used when crossing the pass and Jinkou will not only indicate the name and place of origin of the holder, but also write the characteristics of the horse vehicle if there is a horse vehicle accompanying it.
If you have a place, you are a normal person traveling, and if you don't have a place, then you are a homeless person.
If you are a homeless person, you can't pass through Guanjin, and if you want to cross the river, you have to smuggle in.
And smuggling. I'm sorry, the people who can organize smuggling these years are all thieves along the river, and Sun Shangxiang is a girl's family and has a horse, such a conspicuous target, the risk of smuggling is very large.
Of course, the most important thing is that smuggling requires payment of money and food.
Sun Shangxiang now has no money or food.
