Chapter 7: Eight Years

Yu Niang carried the light work, flew down the mountain according to the road in her memory, crossed the small puddle of drinking water back then, and flew to the cave in her memory.

When she arrived at the cave, she found that the entrance to the cave was overgrown with green vines, leaving only a few gaps.

Yu Niang cut these vines with her sword, and when she went inside, there was nothing inside, empty, as if no one had been here for a long time.

Yu Niang threw the sword to the ground in frustration, sat on the big stone where the second brother was lying back then, hugged her knees and wept silently.

Back then, she was chased to the edge of the cliff by a hungry wolf and was not afraid of tears, but now she is very afraid, she is afraid that something will happen to her second brother.

She worked so hard to learn martial arts just to come back to see her second brother earlier, but she still didn't catch up.

Yu Niang cried alone in the cave for a long time, thinking a lot, she thought of her adventure.

She shouldn't be so pessimistic, maybe the second brother will have an adventure after she leaves? Maybe someone will save the second brother?

She wiped away her tears, picked up the sword on the ground, and took out the baggage prepared in the space.

It may not be convenient to enter the space in the future, but it is better to take out these necessities of life.

Yu Niang cleaned up her mood, got out of the cave, flew around the mountain forest a few times with light skills, and killed more than a dozen wolves on the mountain before she took her hands and went down the mountain.

When I was a child, I thought it was a very high mountain, but now it is not very long, maybe she has grown up, or she may have used light work. Yu Niang came to the foot of the mountain and sighed in her heart.

Different from the mood when she came, now Yu Niang is much more relaxed, and she came to the official road and slowly walked to the town not far away.

This is a small town called Qinghe, which belongs to the town under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province. Although the town is not big, it is close to the official road and the only way to go to Beijing, so the town is very prosperous.

Yu Niang came to a restaurant in the town, asked Xiao Er to serve some signature dishes, and asked him what are the major events and years today?

Xiao Er suspected that Yu Niang had other purposes at first, until Yu Niang took out a night pearl and put it in his hand.

There is no silver on Yu Niang, only a night pearl that was used for lighting before, because it is too small, the lighting is a little dim, and it is just right to use it for flowers.

Xiao Er happily received it in his arms, and said to Yu Niang enthusiastically: "Dao Chief, do you know that the emperor caught Ao Bai half a year ago, and I heard that he was going to be beheaded recently?"

Now the people of the world are clapping their hands and celebrating? The little one is far away from the capital, and if it were close, the little one would also go and join in the fun and throw a few rotten eggs at the big traitor. ”

Yu Niang didn't mind Xiao Er calling her Dao Chief, but continued to ask: "This shouldn't be the latest news!"

It will take two months to get from the capital to this point, and by the time you get past Aobai, you will already be beheaded and reincarnated. What year is it?"

"Dao Chief, you won't come out of the mountain after cultivating in some deep mountain and old forest! This year is the ninth year of Kangxi! You don't know?"

"You're only old? I'm really just out of the mountains. Alright, there you go!

This night pearl will give you the money for dinner, and then open a room for me, prepare some hot water and send it to the room, and reward you with the rest. After Yu Niang finished instructing Xiao Er, she impatiently drove him away.

After Xiao Er left, Yu Niang thought of the year that Xiao Er just said, this year is the ninth year of Kangxi?

I had practiced martial arts in the mountains for eight years, and today I realized that I had grown to fourteen years old.

Yu Niang didn't expect that she had practiced martial arts in the mountains for such a long time, no wonder she didn't find the second brother when she went to the cave!

Thinking that he hadn't gone back for so long, the second brother must be in a hurry, maybe he would go out to find him? I hope to find the second brother one day in the future.

The dishes were very fast, a total of six signature dishes, and Xiao Er served one to Yu Niang for each dish.

After the dishes were served, Xiao Er left, Yu Niang had never cooked in the past few years of martial arts, nor had she eaten hot dishes. One is that it won't, and the other is that there is no material.

In addition to the medicinal materials in the space, there is only spiritual rice, and Yu Niang will only use spiritual rice to cook some porridge and make tooth sacrifices when she is hungry.

Not to mention the signature dish, even an ordinary dish, she can also eat the taste of the imperial banquet.

Yu Niang was a lot hungry, and when she saw so many dishes coming up, she quickly picked up the chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp.

There was no image at all, which attracted the guests in the hall to turn their heads to watch.

Yu Niang didn't care at all, and didn't have time to look around until her stomach was full. When everyone saw Yu Niang looking back, they bowed their heads uncomfortably to eat.

When Yu Niang was full, she found that the six dishes on the table were almost eaten, and Yu Niang called Xiao Er to let him lead the way to the room.

She is full now that she is full, she just wants to rest, and plans to go to the capital tomorrow to exchange some silver.

After bathing, change into a clean robe and let Xiao Er carry the water away.

Subsequently, Yu Niang dried her hair with internal force and went to bed to rest, she hadn't slept in bed for eight years, and fell asleep with her head on the pillow.

I had a good night's sleep, and by the time I woke up, it was already dark.

Yu Niang put on the robe she took off from sleeping yesterday again, fixed her hair with a wooden hairpin, and went out refreshed.

Xiao Er threw away all the clothes, shoes and socks he was wearing, went to the largest pharmacy in the town, took out the ginseng he had prepared earlier, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper opened the cloth bag, looked at the ginseng carefully, and then checked it with his hand and said, "Your ginseng is one hundred and fifty years old, and it is in good condition, and it is also very well concocted." I'll give you six hundred taels, what do you think?"

Yu Niang didn't know the price of ginseng, but she knew that six hundred taels was a lot, and if the night pearl was sold, it should be about one hundred taels.

The reason why it was given to Xiao Er was because she only had this night pearl on her, which was used for emergency use.

Now this ginseng can be exchanged for 600 taels, and I think it will be enough for myself for a while.

Then he nodded to the shopkeeper and said, "According to the six hundred taels that the shopkeeper said, give me five hundred taels of silver tickets, nine silver ingots of ten taels, and the remaining ten taels will be exchanged for broken silver." ”

The shopkeeper touched his beard and nodded, "Dao Chief, wait a while, the old man will come when he goes." ”

After speaking, he arched his hand to Yu Niang and went to the back hall, Yu Niang knew that he was going to get the silver, and he was not in a hurry, waiting in the hall of the pharmacy, and the junior apprentice on the side also served her a cup of tea.

Yu Niang actually doesn't like to drink tea, but it doesn't seem to be good to sit and wait.

He picked up the teacup and sniffed it lightly, holding it in his mouth until the shopkeeper came out of the back hall and swallowed the tea.

The shopkeeper handed the silver tickets to Yu Niang one by one, asking her to verify the authenticity, and then handed over the remaining silver ingots and broken silver to Yu Niang.

Yu Niang put away the money, thanked the shopkeeper and said goodbye, leaving the pharmacy Yu Niang went straight to the ready-to-wear store, bought three sets of women's clothes from it, and packed two sets in one set.

She also asked the proprietress to buy two pairs of embroidered laces of the same color for her at the shoe store.

Yu Niang, who changed into women's clothes, asked the proprietress to teach her several simple hair buns. Only then did he pay the silver and leave, spending a total of one hundred taels of Jade Niang.

In fact, three sets of clothes and shoes are a total of ninety-five taels, and the rest, the proprietress taught her the service fee for the curling hair, and the proprietress who got the silver couldn't keep her mouth shut.

The jade lady, who was completely rejuvenated, left the ready-to-wear shop happily with the burden wrapped by the proprietress and found a caravan to follow the capital.

The caravan was carrying spices, and the leader was a man in his thirties, who was a little serious and a little indifferent.

At first, he was reluctant to take Yu Niang on the road, but his younger brother saw that Yu Niang was beautiful and wanted to talk to Yu Niang, so he agreed.

Yu Niang doesn't care, anyway, just take her to Beijing, if that person doesn't know each other and bother her, don't blame her for being polite.

What makes Yu Niang strange is that these spices seem to be very heavy, and each carriage is drawn by two horses, and the people who push the cart are very difficult.
