It rained heavily for half a month, and it took more than half a month for the black girl's legs to feel that she could walk freely like a normal person.

The first thing she did at this time was to go to Xiangcheng, which was closest to Jisang Village. Although it is the nearest town, it takes a whole day to walk barefoot, and it takes more than half a day to go by ox cart, but now there are no ox carts in the village.

After half a month of soft grinding and hard soaking in the black girl, Mu Pozi finally had to agree to the black girl to go to Xiangcheng. I'm worried that she will be in danger along the way, and she must go with her.

On the third day after the heavy rain, the couple went out before dawn.

The black girl carried silver on her body, and carried a few white potatoes as dry food, and hung the only rusty lock in the house on the door of the main house, and the gate of the yard was also hung, and walked towards the outside of Jisang Village with an excited face.

Seeing that a month's time was coming, she and the Zhao family divorced, but she promised six taels of silver, and the black girl never forgot about it.

On the way to Xiangcheng, I had to pass through a few small villages and bypass two small hills, and the black girl borrowed her sensitive nose and was not idle, pointing to the old lady, and the two stopped and dug a lot of herbs along the way.

Now that it is summer, the days are very long, although the two of them missed a lot of time on the road to dig herbs, but finally saw the quaint gate of Xiangcheng before sunset.

But as soon as she entered the city, the black girl was immediately disappointed, I thought it was also a city, but I didn't expect it to be lively at all, as soon as it was dark, except for a few red lanterns on the street, it was pitch black everywhere, and the people who occasionally walked by on the street still played the watchman, and it was quiet and terrible.

Mu Pozi entered the city for the first time in her life, looking at the brick houses on the street, she was both envious and afraid, especially at this time there was no one on the street, and occasionally she could hear a few dog barks.

The black girl took the old lady's hand and walked along the place where the lantern was lit, and finally found a foot shop and walked in.

There are two lanterns hanging at the door of the foot shop, and it is indeed pitch black inside, and there is not even a little popularity, and it is obvious that business is very cold.

The black girl didn't know if it was a master of art who was bold, and Mu Pozi couldn't stop it, so she strode in.

Why do you have to find a place to live today, you can't let the old lady sleep on the street, right?

"Black girl, let's go!"

Probably heard a sound, and suddenly there was a light inside, and the black girl listened to the voice, and there should be only one person who came out, and this light was the subtle light of the person holding a small oil lamp in his hand.

When the light was near, the black girl saw that it was a woman, who looked the same age as Mu Pozi, and although the clothes she was wearing were half-new, they were not like the black girls.

The woman held the oil lamp and looked at the black girl carefully, and then looked at the wooden woman behind the black girl, and frowned.

"Do you live in a hotel? There are five copper plates for a single room and one night, and if you live in an open room, one copper plate for one person. ”

The black girl thought about it, and finally chose to live in the open room, looking at the deserted appearance of this store, it is estimated that there are no customers, even if they live in the open room, it is estimated that they are the two of them, why waste those three copper plates, and she doesn't want to cause other people's ideas, and now the appearance of their two rags does not look like they have silver.

The black girl wiped it from her arms for a long time before she took out two copper plates and handed them directly to the woman opposite.

The woman took two copper plates and put them directly into her bosom. Seeing the stuffy gourd that the two of them hadn't opened their mouths for a long time, they knew that they were from a remote country, and they didn't have much knowledge, so they were probably scared stupid, and she didn't want to be too enthusiastic, so she turned around and walked to the backyard with the two of them.

"Follow me. ”

When the black girl and the wooden woman were lying on the earthen kang in the foot shop, it was already the time of the sea.

In the open room, as the black girl expected, there was no one, just the two of them. Lying on the flat clay kang with a thin layer of mattresses, although it was still very hard, the black girl felt very comfortable, and decided to prepare two sets of thick bedding for the family tomorrow.

Thinking of this, the black girl was a little excited and couldn't sleep.

"Black girl, it's the first time in my mother's life to go to the city, and it's the first time to stay in a hotel!"

Obviously, Mu Pozi was also a little excited and couldn't sleep.

"Mother, let's go to bed early, we have to buy a lot of things tomorrow!"

Mu Pozi's face, which was originally hooked at the corners of her mouth, suddenly pulled it down.

"Black girl, we have to save some flowers tomorrow, we still have a lifetime to live!"

The brunette rolled over and closed her eyes, not intending to explain.

Because she couldn't explain it, five taels of silver could still be spent for a lifetime? Now all she was thinking about was how to spend all the silver and then earn it back.

Mu Pozi, seeing that the black girl's breathing was already stable, thought that she was tired and fell asleep, and she didn't persuade her, thinking that she would just look at it tomorrow, closed her eyes, and soon entered the dream.

I don't know if the two of them were tired after walking for a day yesterday, anyway, when they opened their eyes, they could hear the sound of selling outside the small courtyard.

The day and night of Xiangcheng are obviously different, and Xiangcheng, which looked unusually quiet last night, is indeed very lively at this time.

Walking out of the door of the foot shop, the black girl was attracted by the excitement in front of her.

The shops on both sides of the street, the hawkers on the street, the pedestrians who stop and go.

The Mu Pozi was also dazzled, this was the first time she had seen so many people. This made Mu Pozi subconsciously come to hold the black girl's hand, and she didn't dare to take a step.

And the black girl was attracted by the shop selling cloth opposite at first sight, took the old lady's hand, and walked in without thinking.

Most of the cloth inside is burlap, and there are few muslin cloths that are placed in high places by the store, and these coarse cloths are mainly blue-gray, and the only bright two red and rhubarb materials are placed in the most conspicuous high place of the store, and it is they that attract the eyes of black girls.

Seeing that a customer came to the door, the boss hurriedly greeted him, but looking at the clothes of the mother and daughter, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The days of war and chaos are not easy, and business is even more difficult!

The black girl naturally saw the attitude of this boss, but seeing that his face was still kind, he was not angry, who made them too shabby!

"What do you want to sell?"

The boss was a discerning man, and when he saw what the two of them were wearing, he guessed that he might be planning to buy burlap to make clothes, but he didn't know if there was any silver, which he was very suspicious.

But the boss was very helpful in introducing a few pieces of burlap at a reasonable price.

"Boss, how do you sell that pale yellow cotton cloth?"

The owner of the cloth shop was stunned for a moment, but he still answered.

"Five big bucks a foot. ”

Then he continued to sell his own burlap as much as he could.

"How do you buy that blue-gray muslin?"
