Early the next morning.
The few people who had taken a good rest continued on the road until they saw the fishing boat and then walked down the mountain.
Yunfei also killed a snake and tied it with grass and vines and carried it in his hand.
He picked a larger fishing boat and asked, "Uncle, are you crossing the river?"
"Yes, two cents per person."
Two cents...
Yunfei used his consciousness to dig through the space and finally found the silver jewelry.
He removed a bead from the silver necklace and put the necklace back on.
It is said to be a bead, but it is actually a round pendant, very simple style.
He handed the bead to the old man and asked, "Uncle, can this silver bead carry our family across the river?"
The old man was naturally pleasantly surprised, "It will happen, of course it will happen."
This bead is worth more than a hundred dollars, and it will make a lot of money.
After the negotiation was completed, everyone got on the small fishing boat and went along the river. The old man and his son steered the boat with oars.
The baby was rarely energetic. Yunfei hugged him and asked him to look at the river.
…………
After swinging for a long time, until everyone was dizzy, we finally reached the other side.
As soon as they got off the fishing boat, Wen Yue'er and Mrs. Dong couldn't help but went to the shore and started vomiting. They were not used to riding on boats, but the children were fine.
The old man punting the boat kindly warned: "You go further ahead, and you may catch the ox cart going to the town."
"Okay, thank you uncle."
After walking for a while, a few people finally met a passing bullock cart, which also cost two cents per person.
Yunfei could only dismantle the silver pendant again.
It’s not just this one, but it’s the smallest one, so you’ll lose less.
The man driving the bullock cart retracted his hand awkwardly, "Brother, I can't find it."
This eldest brother looked quite miserable. He was too embarrassed to accept such an expensive silver pendant. It looked too delicate.
"It's okay, brother, there's no need to look for him."
But the man driving the car said nothing and reminded him: "You just go to town, sell it to a pawn shop, and pay the fare.
You see, all your families, big and small, are so poor that they are selling jewelry. I can’t bear to blackmail you. "
Yunfei didn't want to trouble others and wait. It seemed that this person's family was not rich, and he still had such a mentality. It didn't matter if he suffered a loss.
And the cheapest thing he has on him is this small pendant.
In the end, it was forced on men and treated as poverty alleviation.
From the conversation, Yunfei learned that his surname was Wu and that he was from the nearby Wujia Village. The people in the village basically made a living by fishing.
It should be said that the villages living on both sides of the river rely on fishing for their livelihood.
Those with better conditions can have a fishing boat to transport people passing by every day, and can earn more.
Like his family, if a cow can come out to pick up guests, it means that the family is in a reasonable position.
In fact, they are also poor. The cattle are valuable, but they cannot be sold. They can’t even get enough to eat all year round just relying on the little land and fishing.
If it is not a market day, the bullock cart will not be able to take customers to the town.
Brother Wu was very measured. He took Yunfei's silver pendant and didn't even stop to pick it up when he met the villagers.
It was equivalent to letting their family charter a car to go to town.
Yunfei also found out that the town ahead was called Jiangbian Town, which was quite fitting...
………
The bumpy ride of the bullock cart is not pleasant, but it is better than walking.
The sun above our heads gradually began to heat up.
Yunfei had been inquiring about information from this elder brother named Wu all the way.
For example, it takes five days to reach the border town from Jiangbian Town by carriage, while it takes half a month to get from the border town to the border town of Xueyuan Kingdom. If you go slowly, it will take nearly a month.
If you want to go, you can go to the city and follow the escort team.
Then he asked vaguely about wanted persons, but Brother Wu said that he had never heard of it.
At least not in town.
Yunfei didn't know whether it was because the wanted order hadn't been sent yet, or because it was too remote and the court hadn't sent it.
At this point, he suddenly seemed to remember and said: "Oops, I came in a hurry and didn't bring my household registration."
Wu Laosan didn't think much about it. After all, there were no special circumstances and no one would carry their household registration with them.
"Brother, don't panic. We generally don't check household registration in our town. We only check if we want to arrest someone, and I don't take him with me."
"That's good, that's good. We have just arrived on the other side of the river to join our relatives. This is our first time back in town."
Wu Laosan said kindly: "Brother, I'll wait for you to come back later. It's too late and we can't find the oxcart in the town."
Yunfei thanked him for his kindness and waved his hand to refuse, "We are not coming back tonight and will stay in the town for one night.
I have made an appointment with relatives to pick me up tomorrow. After all, it is late and there are no fishing boats back to the other side. "
Wu Laosan thought about it and didn't force it. He shouldn't come to town tomorrow. Since there was someone to pick him up, he wouldn't make a special trip.
Mainly because the silver pendant was too expensive, which made him feel a little uneasy.
This brother kept giving him money, and the family was short of money, so he really couldn't refuse.
"Well, next time I go to the market, I have to get up early. If I'm late, there will be no bullock carts or fishing boats.
I am also going to the town to pick up people from the village, otherwise I would not have come out at this time.
Next time you ride in my ox cart, I won’t charge you any money. "
"Okay, okay, thank you, brother."
Wen Yue'er and others have been quiet and did not interrupt.
The status of women in this continent is indeed okay, but some etiquette and rules are still similar to those in ancient times, and there are many restrictions on women.
The better off the family is, the more restrictions there are.
…………
The bullock cart had been driving for an hour, and when they finally arrived, their buttocks were sore.
After saying goodbye to Brother Wu, the family walked around the town alone.
The first thing was to go to the pawn shop.
Wen Yue'er had already returned a few gold earrings to Yun Fei. In her eyes, it was already remarkable that her husband could hide this.
So I don’t think how much money their family can have.
The silver pendant was given to her, and she was heartbroken.
Yunfei walked into the pawn shop, picked out a pair of mandarin duck bracelets, and showed them to the boss.
Seeing that the boss's hand was shaking when he took it, he already knew it.
The pawn shop owner carefully put down the pair of bracelets and asked, "Brother, are you going to pawn to death or to pawn alive?"
"Damn it."
The boss stroked his beard a few times and made a gesture, "Sir, this pair of bracelets is only worth fifty taels, but the workmanship is really exquisite. How about I give you eighty taels?"
"One hundred and twenty taels."
The pawn shop owner was about to refuse, but Yun Fei said calmly: "If the boss can't accept it, then I'll go to the jewelry shop and ask."
"this………"
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Yunfei took back the bracelet and was about to turn around and leave.
One tael of gold is equal to 10 taels of silver. This pair of bracelets was made with one hundred grams of gold, which is two taels, so it is only worth 20 taels of silver.
But it has been processed, and the patterns on it are beautifully carved. Although it does not have the aura of hand-carving of this era, it is still beautiful.
Just because it is beautiful and flawless, it is worth money!
Even if he calls for one hundred and twenty taels, the boss still makes money, and doubles the money, which is no problem.
