Chapter 299: Penniless
Before parting, He Qingxiao asked cheekily: "Big brother, can you borrow a hat to cover up Neiko?" β
Brother Orion quickly grabbed two hats from the wall, looked at Kamiga Qingxiao's slightly puzzled eyes, and smiled: "One of you each." β
Xiao He is so handsome, you have to pay attention to it.
"Auntie, let's go." Xin Yu and He Qingxiao saluted the eldest mother.
"Son, you send Xiaohe and Xiaohe's daughter-in-law."
Sending off the enthusiasm of Brother Orion, the two did not refuse. Walking on the road, He Qingxiao asked, "Big brother, do you know how to get to Baiyun County?" β
"Baiyun County?" Brother Orion paused, "That's far away." β
Far?
Xin Yu and He Qingxiao glanced at each other.
"The nearest county seat here is Lingshan County. I went to Baiyun County once many years ago, and it took a few days to take a car. β
He Qingxiao suppressed his surprise and asked quietly: "How to go to Lingshan County?" β
Brother Orion stretched out his hand and pointed: "Follow that road all the way, and when you encounter a fork in the road, choose a smooth road to walk, and you will arrive in about two hours." β
"Thank you, big brother. Big brother, please go back. β
Bidding farewell to Brother Orion, walking on the way to Lingshan County, Xin Yu glanced back at the majestic mountains.
"We were washed into the deep pool in the cave from the bottom of the river, and we should be on the other side of the mountains after we came out, and we will not be close to go back to Baiyun County to bypass the mountains." He Qingxiao speculated.
The south is mountainous, and if you don't open up a way out, you don't know how far you have to go around the short distance.
"When you go back, send some money and food to the eldest lady and the big brother Orion." Xin Yu thought that Brother Orion's family was obviously very poor, but he saved meat to replenish her body, and he was very upset.
However, after falling into the water, the purse he carried with him was washed away, and although the small chapter hidden in his arms was still there, the wilderness could not be turned into money.
He Qingxiao lost her money bag like her, and she didn't have a copper plate on her body.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it."
After walking for more than half an hour, He Qingxiao handed over the water bladder.
Xin Yu took a few sips and handed it back: "You drink a little too." β
The water bladder was also kindly given by Brother Orion, and it was heavily filled with water.
He Qingxiao took the water bladder and did not touch it.
Xin Yu looked at it in his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "At an extraordinary time, Lord He doesn't have to be rigid about this. β
If she really wants to observe those common rituals, she should go to the church and marry him when she kisses him.
"I'm not thirsty yet." He Qingxiao put away the water bladder and leaned over slightly, "You haven't recovered yet, your body can't stand it after walking for too long, I'll carry you for a while." β
Xin Yu lightly refused: "No, I'm not tired yet." β
He Qingxiao was silent, picked up the water bladder and drank it in a big gulp.
Droplets of water ran down his stubble chin and down his Adam's apple into his collar.
Xin Yu looked away slightly, and her face warmed up a little.
She may be crazy, in such a difficult situation, she knows very well what she wants and what she doesn't want, but she can't help but think about what she doesn't have.
"I'll carry you." After drinking the water, He Qingxiao's tone was a little more incomprehensible.
Xin Yu didn't refuse again, and put her hands around his shoulders.
The road leading from the mountains to the county seat is not easy to walk, the road surface is full of potholes, and there are small mud puddles with water everywhere. He Qingxiao walked very steadily, and the girl on her back was not energetic, so she fell asleep unconsciously.
Xin Yu wakes up again, staggering, and finds herself in an ox cart. She didn't speak, her eyes expressing her doubt.
"Met the old man who was driving the car. The old man is kind-hearted, and when he sees that I am carrying you on my back, he is willing to give us a ride. β
The old man sitting in front of the cart heard the sound of talking, smiled and asked, "Woke up?" Little offspring, your brother is really good, he sweated all the way with you. β
The two of them were still wearing their previous clothes, which had been washed at the house of the eldest brother of Orion, and wearing hats, so the old man thought that it was the two brothers who were on the way.
"Thank you, uncle, for giving us a kick." Xin Yu opened his mouth to thank him, and changed into the voice of the men's clothes.
The old man looked at the road ahead and shook the reins of the bull: "By the way, the old man entered the city to send things to his son, and my kid is about the same age as you." Well, the county seat has arrived. β
The inventory of this small town in a remote area is very loose, and the two of them entered the city smoothly with the old man, and after thanking him, they separated from the old man.
Approaching noon, the streets are full of people, and the aromas of various foods are intertwined, making people hungry.
Xin Yu was quite calm: "Let's go find Bao'an Qianzhuang." β
Bao'an Money Village is an official money bank, open all over the country, and there is no need to worry about having a small chapter in hand.
After asking a few people, there was no Bao'an Qianzhuang in Lingshan County. Xin Yu's tone was complicated: "Big brother, if you don't have the capital...... Do you know how to get money fast? β
When she first entered Beijing, she also cleaned up the softness, and she never experienced the feeling of being penniless.
When a few passers-by heard this, they walked as fast as they could.
He Qingxiao coughed lightly and said seriously: "Generally, there are two kinds, one is robbery and the other is begging." β
Xin Yu thought about it seriously.
Robbery is not a robbery, if you beg - she silently looked at the man with the hat.
If Lord He takes off the hat, maybe it will work?
He Qingxiao subtly comprehended Xin Yu's thoughts, and looked at her helplessly.
"Big brotherβ"
He Qingxiao spoke decisively, so as not to hear the words that made him betray his hue and beg: "But we have an easier way. β
"What's the solution?" Xin Yu asked curiously.
She actually has a lot of ways to make money, but none of them can solve her urgent needs. Lord He said it so easily, but he didn't have much money at hand......
He Qingxiao stuffed an object into Xin Yu's hand.
Xin Yu looked down and saw that it was a token representing his identity.
"I didn't lose this, go to the county government to show our identity, and let them arrange a carriage and horse to send us to Baiyun County."
Xinyu: "......"
A quarter of an hour later, the two were greeted by the magistrate of Lingshan County, who rushed out.
"Xiaguan has seen Lord He, and he has seen Gongzi Xin." The magistrate of Lingshan County is surnamed Zhu, and the matter of Baiyun County next door has not yet spread in Lingshan County due to inconvenient transportation, and the people in their official mansion have known about it through correspondence.
Lord He is the envoy of Jinlin Weibei Town, not to mention that he can't be offended, this Xin Gongzi is really a legend.
Zhu Zhixian looked at Xin Yu eagerly, why did he enter the house, and Xin Gongzi was still wearing a hat?
He Qingxiao said lightly: "We are in a hurry to rush back to Baiyun County, and we also ask Zhu Zhi County to arrange one or two." β
"Xia Guan has already arranged for someone to prepare the carriage and horses. It's just that it's close to noon, so I invite Lord He and Mr. Xin to enjoy their faces and have lunch before leaving. β
"Then it's disrespectful."
What disappointed Zhu Zhixian was that only Master He was the only one who had dinner together, and Xin Gongzi ate alone in the guest room, and he still didn't see Xin Gongzi's true face.
"Xin Gongzi's body has not recovered yet, and his energy is insufficient, I hope Zhu Zhixian will not be surprised."
"Don't dare, don't dare, Xin Gongzi's body is important."
After the meal, He Qingxiao got up: "He has something to go out for, and he will leave when he comes back." β
Zhu Zhixian was very knowledgeable: "The lower officials will tell the people below not to disturb Xin Gongzi's rest." β
"Thank you, Zhu Zhixian." He Qingxiao paused, and asked without changing his face, "Does Zhu Zhixian have plenty of money?" β
