Lin Yi, who left Yichun Courtyard, traveled all the way east.

After walking for two days, I finally arrived at my destination, Banzhu.

The hardships are really only known to you.

In ancient times, the official roads were indeed smooth, but they were mainly for horses to pass, and the dust raised was to be suspected of being a sandstorm.

However, in the end, it is the official road leading to the capital, and people come and go, and it is very prosperous.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, she still had a sense of pride in her heart.

His arrival can be regarded as a small contribution to this era.

Lin Yi took off the ash towel, and sure enough, it turned from light gray to dark gray.

She dusted it off a few times and put it on her face again.

Looking at the word "horse head", Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just ahead.

At this time, her legs were like a golden iron ball tied, and she really couldn't move.

However, a new blow followed.

Looking at the empty dock, Lin Yi's heart was half cold.

Why can't I see a ship at this pier?

Could it be that boats are a very scarce means of transportation in this day and age?

I saw that the sky was about to get dark.

Lin Yi touched the money bag and had to quickly find an inn to settle in.

I just walked for a long time, although I looked at the restaurant inn full of uneven heights, but I didn't expect the inn here to be deserted and not lively at all.

Almost none of them are open.

Lin Yi knocked on his head.

Ghost town?

She looked at the remnant sun in the sky, and it seemed that she was about to enter the eternal night.

Are there ghosts in this era?

Forget it, I'm a poor ghost and a hungry ghost now, I'm afraid of a fart!

Lin Yi saw a lighted inn, the lobby on the first floor was dim, and the guest rooms on the second floor were dark.

But this is the only inn that is lit up!

She walked in and saw a dozing man at the front desk.

"Little Two ......"

Xiao Er smacked his lips, yawned, and glanced up at Lin Yi, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Grizzled and dirty-faced, coarse brown robes, can you afford to pay for silver taels?

"Tip or stay?"

Lin Yi glanced at the hall, which was empty.

"I ...... Why don't you have anyone here? ”

Xiao Er's eyes rolled, and it turned out that this guest didn't know that this time was the off-season.

"The guests are all in-house. The hour has not yet returned. ”

"Then stay in ...... hotel"

"Five hundred and one nights, pay first."

Xiao Er stretched out his hand and made it clear that he would not give money and would not let him live.

Looking at Xiao Er, who was not polite at all, Lin Yi felt angry.

It's also a service industry, not only has a bad attitude, but it's also so expensive!

But thinking of her lead-like legs, she pursed her lips and took out a silver ticket and handed it over.

Xiao Er put the silver ticket next to the oil lamp, and it turned out to be the silver ticket in the capital, but he really didn't see it.

This guest officer can't be a thief, right?

"Questions?"

Lin Yi stared at Xiao Er expressionlessly, the silver ticket that Zuo Haoran gave him, can it still be faked?

"No problem! No problem! ”

"Where do I stay?"

"Second floor, second room on the left."

Lin Yi went upstairs directly, walked to the second wing, pushed open the door, and lay on the bed with a bang.

The hard bed board made her want to cry.

With the same bed board, yesterday's inn was only eighty, why five hundred here!

Lin Yi turned over.

Back pain, leg cramps.

She misses the soft little bed in her bedroom, and she also misses the luxurious big bed in Jinghan Pavilion.

However, Lin Yi at this moment has no energy to be sad and sad.

That man doesn't belong to him anymore.

Forget it.

Lin Yi fell asleep hungry.

I woke up and it was the next morning.

The golden sunlight shines on the surrounding buildings, and it looks like a place full of flowers.

I just didn't see a few people.

Lin Yi packed his bags, and in ancient times when there was no computer or mobile phone, he could only rely on field research to travel.

She wandered aimlessly, unable to figure out why the area around the dock, which had good infrastructure, was so deserted and desolate.

Seeing an oncoming old woman, Lin Yi cleared her throat and lowered her voice to ask.

"Big sister. I'm new to the city, can I ask you something? ”

The old woman was also very happy when she saw a little student calling her eldest sister.

"Xiao Langjun, what do you want to know?"

"I want to go south, don't there be boats at this dock?"

The old woman laughed heartily, and her voice was quite loud.

"Xiao Langjun, at a glance, you know that you don't take a boat. It's the off-season, and after 10 days, the southbound boats will pass through here, and it's crowded at that time, so you have to go early to catch the boat. ”

Lin Yi swallowed his saliva and touched the silver taels on his body.

Ten days before there is a ship!?

She finally reacted.

It's off-season, so inns and restaurants everywhere are closed.

If there is no movement of people at the dock, there will be no people to stay and eat.

No wonder the cost of the inn yesterday was so high, it seems that he has been wronged!

Lin Yi has a fire in his heart, but it has been the same from ancient times to the present, and it is difficult to move an inch without money.

If she had enough money, she would have bought a horse and rode south!

Lin Yi sighed, she missed the pony in the Han Palace, and she didn't know if it had come home.

"Xiao Langjun, where are you from?"

"From the capital..."

The old woman smiled again: "You better go back to the capital, the current hotel here is much more expensive than the inn in the capital." ”

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, no matter where you go, it's the same, the money is not enough!

"Thank you, big sister......"

Lin Yi continued to walk aimlessly.

Seeing the stone monument of "Qifeng Village", she hesitated for a moment, but decided to go and see what kind of village it was.

Will there be a homestay in this era?

After walking for a long time, she walked along the road to a river.

Looking at the babbling water, she walked down the slope.

Plopped, she lay down on the slope.

The weeds on the slope are a bit prickly, but you can get used to it when you lie down.

Lin Yi looked up at the sky and wanted to shout loudly, but he couldn't.

abandoned his own world, just to see his lover, but he didn't expect his lover to have a new love.

Why don't you go back and try if you can be a concubine?

Lin Yi twitched his head.

Unwillingly!

You can follow the local customs, but you can't follow the crowd.

I don't accept three wives and four concubines!

She sighed again.

finally set himself the goal of going to Hangzhou, but he hit a wall everywhere.

Is it difficult to walk to Hangzhou by yourself?

Although Lin Yi's geography is not good, he also knows that it will be the Year of the Monkey to go back.

I'm afraid that if I don't get to Hangzhou, I will die on the road!

"Oh my God! Where are your eyes! Is it necessary to torture such a little person as me? ”

Facing the sky, Lin Yi muttered.

Goo Goo –

The sky was really powerful, and it was very timely to respond to her cries.

Lin Yi glanced hungrily at the shore.

The courtyard of the house comes into view, and the smell of food seems to be faintly wafting.

Suddenly, Lin Yi's saliva flowed.

At this time, she really wanted to wear a robe and take a small bowl, pretending to be a monk.

I still have a few hemp cakes in my bag, but no matter how much I save, I can't last ten days.

Lin Yi took off the gray towel and simply lay on the river slope on all fours.

Not hungry, not hungry, not hungry!

She hypnotizes herself, telling herself that she is just a turtle and that she can eat and drink less as long as she doesn't move!

Unconsciously, Lin Yi actually fell asleep.

"Uncle, there's a guy lying on the slope over there."

A middle-aged woman walked over with two small children.

In a daze, Lin Yi heard footsteps, which seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.

A convulsion, and she immediately woke up.

Lin Yi hurriedly sat up.

Turning around, a middle-aged woman with two small children was looking at her curiously.

Lin Yi rubbed his eyes, why are these two children familiar?

The little boy shouted, "Sister Fairy, is that you?" ”

“… Cai Yue? ”

Lin Yi looked at the little girl next to him again, it was really Cai Yu, she didn't expect to meet these two children here.

But his men's clothes can still be recognized by the little kid who has no eyesight.

Suddenly, Lin Yi couldn't cry or laugh.

The middle-aged woman seemed to react, and the "fairy sister" in the child's mouth should be the doctor who healed them.

It's just that this men's outfit makes people wonder, but you don't have to look closely to tell that it's a woman.

Where is there such a beautiful and white little life.

"This young lady, thank you for saving your niece and nephew."

Lin Yi got up and smiled, it was not a serious illness, but it was just that the child had not eaten for a few days and was infected with wind cold.

"Hands, hands..."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yi's stomach purred regardless of the occasion.

I can't move!

I didn't expect one to wake up my stomach when I got up.

The middle-aged woman smiled: "This young lady, if you don't dislike it, come to the house for a quick meal." ”

Just as Lin Yi hesitated, two children ran to her side and hugged her.

"Sister Fairy, come to the house for dinner."

Looking at the enthusiastic three, Lin Yi no longer shirked, and followed them to a mud house.

This is where they live?

Lin Yi couldn't help but be a little curious.

The exterior looks very ordinary, it is the architectural style of this generation, it is not tall, but it is not so dilapidated.

It was very warm when I walked into the house.

Lin Yi looked up at the beams.

The roof is not high and the whole space is small.

Perhaps for this reason, even this season, it is not so cold.

However, the color of the earthen walls is very dark, and there are no windows in the house, which is very old and dark.

The middle-aged woman went to the firewood room and served a few dishes after a while.

Lin Yi glanced at the dishes on the table, and saw a plate of boiled shelled peanuts, a plate of pickles and marinated meat, and a few small dried fish.

The staple food is very thin millet porridge.

Cai Yue and Cai Yu couldn't help but clapped their little hands, their faces full of joy.

"Sister fairy, today's dinner has fish and meat."

Lin Yi was embarrassed for a while, the family took out the best things to entertain themselves.

It's a pity that she only craves that plate of boiled peanuts.

The middle-aged woman said embarrassedly: "The family is not too rich, and I am wronged by the young lady." ”

"No grievances, no grievances! Eldest sister, my name is Imu, and I won't see you. ”

Lin Yi took a few sips of the porridge bowl, and suddenly his stomach was warm.

This kind of multigrain porridge is not easy to buy in modern times!

She peeled some more peanuts, and the peanuts that had just been harvested were really delicious.

The middle-aged woman smiled innocently.

"Miss Yi, then you can call me Sister Mulan."

Lin Yi's hand peeling peanuts shook and glanced at the middle-aged woman again.

Lian Jiazi?

This Mulan isn't Mulan, right......

The middle-aged woman, surnamed Chen Mulan, has been married to the children's uncle for nine years and has never had any children of her own.

Fortunately, the husband and wife are very affectionate, and the two have been with each other to this day.

Seeing that Lin Yi was so easy-going, she unconsciously chattered about homely things.

The child's uncle was a masonry, but unfortunately his body was weak, and his employer often withheld wages.

It's winter, and it's the season to dig silt.

The male host, Yuan Kuishan, went south with the people in the village to dig the silt.

Lin Yi heard about the profession of masonry for the first time, but when she heard Chen Mulan say that her husband was not in good health, she didn't ask more.

She didn't hide it, and told Chen Mulan that she wanted to go south to Hangzhou, but she didn't expect that it would take ten days for a ship to go south, and there was really not much entanglement on her body.

After hearing this, Chen Mulan said sincerely: "Miss Yi, if you don't dislike it, you can stay here for a few days." ”

Although Lin Yi was embarrassed, he was really shy in his pocket, so he was cheeky and stopped.
