When they got up early the next morning, they checked out of the room and left directly.
The city gate had been unlocked yesterday afternoon, so they already knew that they could enter and exit freely.
As for the follow-up of those people and the disaster relief money, they have spiritual consciousness anyway, so they can keep an eye on them at any time even if they leave.
If there is any need for help in the future, Chou Chou can do it through the distance with his mind. There is no need to be trapped in this city.
If they hadn't been allowed in but not out, they wouldn't have stayed in the city for a few days and would have left long ago.
Not long after they left the city, Chou Chou said that the Yu family was surrounded by officers and soldiers, all the Yu family were arrested, and the tunnel behind the toilet was also discovered.
The stone door could only isolate spiritual consciousness, and all it took to open it was to twist the mechanism, so the stone room containing silver inside was quickly exposed, and the official silver inside was also found.
And in this way, the money in the underground stone chamber and the money collected from the bandits made up for the disaster relief funds.
It's just that the money that was really removed has become a mystery, and it's not known which corrupt officials were benefited from.
However, this has little to do with them, and Qingyan doesn't care much about it. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If there are really no corrupt officials, it is impossible.
They have no obligation to help investigate to the end. If they really encounter it later, she doesn't mind helping to deal with it, but she can let them concentrate on investigating it wholeheartedly, then forget it.
After all, they have no power or influence, and there are no clues. There is no need to waste time here. We will talk about it when we really meet.
After leaving the city, walk south for two or three miles and you will arrive directly at the ferry location on the Han River. There is a dock here with two large ships docked, and there are several sheds selling food on the shore.
Fortunately, they didn't leave yesterday afternoon. They had just thought that they wouldn't be able to make it far in the afternoon, and they had forgotten that the ferry was only available in the morning. Otherwise, they would have to go back and stay another night after leaving the city, which would be even more troublesome.
There is no need to wait below, just line up to get on the boat, and it will be dispatched when the time comes.
There are quite a lot of people today, probably because of the previous closure of the city, so they all rushed to cross the river today.
They waited in line for half an hour before it was their turn. Because they had to catch up the carriage, a platform was built where the ship docked, like a half bridge, which could accommodate two carriages running parallel to each other.
After getting on the ship, we drove the carriage in. The deck on the ship was very large, and the cabin was relatively small.
Only a few people carried burdens or walked onto the boat to cross the river. Most of them drove or pushed cars onto the boat, so they stayed on the deck and few people entered the cabin.
After all, there are goods or belongings in the car and you don't dare to leave too far. It's better to sit in your own car or stand on the deck and look at the scenery.
Although it is cold now, especially on the river, where the wind is strong, there are quite a lot of people standing on the deck. Some of them may be crossing the river in such a big boat for the first time, and everything they see is novel.
The same goes for Qingyan and the others. Although Qingyan took a ferry to cross the river in later generations, it was not a wooden boat rowed by humans at that time, but a metal-deck ship that relied on oil.
You can drive a car directly onto it, and it can carry about twenty cars, and some buses can even be driven onto the ship. However, the boat was crossing the Yangtze River at that time, and it took forty minutes. You can imagine that. How wide is the river?
For this kind of wooden boat with manual oars, it is estimated that the time will be longer, although the river here is relatively narrow.
Half an hour after the boat started moving, everyone no longer had the leisure to enjoy the scenery, and many people became seasick.
After all, the wind and waves were strong, and the boat was not very stable. It swayed back and forth. Some small objects on the carriage were shaken and fell everywhere, and the fragile ones were smashed directly.
Fortunately, they put all the trivial things into the space. There were only some beddings in the carriage, so there was no loss.
Many people who went to sit in the cabin came out. Some went to the deck to get some air, while others lay down on the railings and started vomiting.
She didn't know if she was infected, but Qingyan didn't get seasick in the first place, but now she couldn't help but feel sick when she saw someone vomiting.
She also lay on the railing and vomited, vomiting out all the breakfast she had eaten that morning.
Not to mention, as soon as she felt better after vomiting, several fish appeared around her and started eating her vomit!
This made her feel even more disgusted, and she lay down and vomited again. She didn't stop until all she vomited was acid water.
Chou Chou and the others were so worried that they patted her back and gave her water to rinse her mouth.
Qingyan took the water bag and took a sip. As soon as she put it in her mouth, she realized that it was spiritual spring water. After rinsing her mouth, she hesitated and did not dare to spit it into the river for fear of attracting more fish.
But she couldn't swallow it, it was even more disgusting. In the end, she vomited it into the river. Anyway, there was no one else here, just them.
Sure enough, as soon as he spit it into the water, a group of fish gathered around him, vying to drink with their mouths open. Fortunately, they were the only ones who saw it, otherwise others would have looked at it strangely.
Qingyan couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Chou Chou and said to him via voice transmission: "Why don't you bring me ordinary water? I almost can't explain it."
She was still thinking in her mind that if she hadn't known that these fish had eaten her vomit, she wouldn't have been able to help Jin Yang collect them into the space.
Jin Yang was not as pretentious as her. Seeing her sit aside to rest, he directly collected all the fish that came around him into the lake in space.
The fishes range from big to small and of different varieties. They are raised in the lake first so that they can be eaten later.
It likes to eat fish the most, even more than pheasants.
Of course, they only accept the fish from their side, forget about the fish from the other side, other people's fish are still more disgusting.
Moreover, most of the fish it collected were those that later came to the spiritual spring water. Those that could be attracted by the spiritual spring water were big fish with higher intelligence and sharper intelligence, and were easier to feed.
After the fish entered the space, Jin Yang took a special look at them.
As soon as they entered the lake in space, they first stagnated for a while, and then started swimming happily.
Apparently, he was so impressed by the aura-rich environment that he didn't feel comfortable at all.
Moreover, the temperature inside the space is much warmer than outside. Although the river water outside does not freeze because it flows, the temperature is indeed not high.
At least they stood for a while. Their faces and ears were blown red by the river wind. They couldn't help but go to the carriage to get the cloak and put it on, and also put on the hood.
After sitting on the boat for an hour, I arrived at the pier on the other side. It was busier than the pier on the other side of Xiangzhou.
The wharf here sells everything. There is a market directly on both sides of the two streets. Many people have set up sheds and set up stalls to sell things.
This is the boundary of Xiangyang City, and about three miles further south is the city, which is larger and more lively than the one in Xiangzhou.
Qingyan and the others did not go into the city. After all, they had just come out of Xiangzhou City and did not need to rest. They had just walked for an hour and it was still not time for lunch, so they continued to go south along the official road. On his way.
By noon, they had walked more than twenty miles, passing several towns and villages along the way.
The area where they were now happened to have no towns or villages. It was surrounded by an open space. Not far ahead was a lake and a relatively low hillside. They were going to walk forward and rest by the lake for lunch.
The waterside in the south is so nice. There are usually stones on the beach. Unlike in the north, there is a lot of yellow mud on the waterside and there is no place to stand.
Qingyan asked Chou Chou to take a look at the fish in the lake. Although she was disgusted by the fish in the river before, the fish in this lake did not disgust her, so she planned to eat fish for lunch to avenge her disgust.
Although they are not a group of fish, who is to say that they are the same kind? Just treat them as one.
Chou Chou said: "There are a lot of fish in this lake. It may be because the surrounding villages are relatively far away. The fish in it are quite big. There are grass carp, silver carp, pomfret and crucian carp. Which one do you want to eat?"
Qingyan thought about it and let it catch grass carp, pomfret, crucian carp and silver carp. There were too many small thorns and she was too lazy to pick them.
Chou Chou followed her instructions and caught one grass carp and two pomfret.
Then according to what Qingyan said, half of the grass carp is eaten as slippery fillet, half is braised, and the pomfret is eaten fried.
The grass carp picked out a ten-pound piece, and then used his spiritual consciousness to transform the fish into a large plate of snow-white fish fillets that were equally thin.
These are used from the upper part of the belly, where there are fewer thorns, and the second half is cut into pieces for braising.
Grass carp and pomfret don't have many fish bones. There is only one big bone and almost no small bones.
Unlike silver carp and crucian carp, it is very troublesome to eat and spit out the spines.
Jin Yang also took a look inside the lake. There were fish species in the lake that were not found in the river. Except for two species that were similar to those caught in the river, they all collected some.
It also found that there were not only fish inside, but also many large shells and snails, but it didn't know if they could be eaten, so it didn't move.
Next, I concentrated on watching Chou Chou cooking there, and learned some skills from his master.
It also discovered that Chou Chou’s cooking was particularly delicious, and many of the things he cooked were things it had never seen before. They were all delicious and delicious, making people appetizing just looking at them.
A few people had a delicious fish feast, and after packing their things, they were not in a hurry to hit the road.
They planned to rest here for a while before leaving. Qingyan leisurely floated by the lake, while Huang Jin and Jin Yang strolled along the lake to eat.
Yuan Bao went to sleep in the carriage. The guy got sleepy after eating, while Chou Chou stayed by Qing Yan's side.
When Qingyan successfully defeated five water floats, she heard Jin Yang's shouts.
She looked up and found that Jin and Yang were almost on the other side.
She and Chou Chou got up and walked over. When they got closer, they realized that they had found a nest of wild duck eggs.
Qingyan looked around and didn't find any wild ducks here. "I don't know when these wild duck eggs were obtained. Isn't it already smelly?"
Chou Chou looked at it and said, "The egg doesn't stink, it's still good, and it's still a fertilized egg. Maybe you can hatch it if you drink it."
As for the whereabouts of the wild ducks that were supposed to hatch them here, they might have been beaten away, or there might have been some accident.
In this case, Qingyan allowed Jin Yang to move into the space along with the thatched nest.
The inside of the space was much warmer than the outside, so Jin Yang asked Jin Yang to cover the duck eggs with a piece of fur to see if the ducklings could hatch out.
If it can be hatched, it can add another species to the space, and of course it can be considered as one more food. After all, the meat and eggs of wild ducks are quite delicious.
Later, they also found wild rice in the water nearby. Qingyan knew this person and she quite liked eating it. The fried pork slices were delicious.
It is one of her favorite dishes. Her favorite dishes include garlic sprouts, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, and wild rice.
A lot of it was taken out of the water, and the outer layers of skin were peeled off, leaving only the edible part in the middle.
Let Chou Chou take out a basket, fill it with a large basket, and let Chou Chou put it into a place where it can be kept fresh, and then take it out when it is time to eat.
Later, when she heard from Jin Yang that there were still shells and snails, Qingyan's eyes lit up, and they caught a lot more snails. Although later generations said it was better not to eat these things, saying that there were parasites in them, but as long as they were handled properly, they would still be able to eat them. OK.
The only bad thing is that the chili pepper hasn't been introduced yet. If you want to have a spicy taste, you can only use pepper instead. The two spicy tastes are too far apart, and you may not be able to achieve the desired effect.
After collecting these two things, Qingyan became more interested and asked Jin Yang to put the carriage into the space first, and they continued to go around the lake to start treasure hunting.
Perhaps because of the season, I didn't find anything else in the end, so I found some gorgon seeds and water chestnuts sinking in the water, as well as some dry reeds.
After collecting the glutinous rice seeds and water chestnuts, Qingyan asked Chou Chou to fish out the shells from the bottom of the water to see if they were pearl oysters.
After Chou Chou fished them out, they found that there were quite a lot of them, and they were piled up in the open space by the lake.
It was a bit cold to open this here, so Qingyan simply asked Jin Yang to go into the space. They entered the space together and opened the shells inside.
After entering the space, they also went to the lake and threw some wild rice gorgon seeds and water chestnut rhizomes and seeds into the lake to see if they could grow.
Then she started to open shells in the open space by the lake. This game was very fun. She didn't let Chou Chou use her spiritual sense to explore inside. She didn't know if there were pearls inside, but the appearance was indeed that of freshwater pearl oysters.
Freshwater pearls are different from seawater pearls. Seawater pearls are more rounded, while freshwater pearls are irregular in shape. Some are in the shape of slices, some are oval, tower-shaped, spiral, anyway, they have everything.
Of course, there are also round ones, but not many, and the color is relatively simple, that is, milky white, and occasionally a few yellow ones can bloom.
The first one Qingyan took out was a gourd-shaped one, only about the size of a fingernail. It looked pretty good. Qingyan planned to drill a through hole in it, and it would be good to make it into a pendant.
