Zhuo'er's right hand was stuffed with something by Shen Jie. She stretched it out and asked, "Where did this come from?" Zhuo'er looked at the five pieces of broken silver in her hand and asked in surprise.
"You were unconscious just now. I picked this up on the roadside." Shen Jie said with a smile. "Actually, it's more than that, look." He opened a corner of the package, and there was a large handful of broken silver inside, estimated to be more than twenty taels.
"How could you pick up so many? Tell me quickly?" She felt her brain was heating up and wanted to know eagerly whether this was true.
"This is ours. Now do you still think we don't have enough money?" Shen Jie didn't tell her that these were from the five people just now. In her impression, those five people only existed in dreams.
She was pulled forward by him in a dreamy way, and the two of them soon came to a fork in the road. If she remembered correctly, if she kept walking on the left hand side, she would pass through Lin County, where her hometown was.
"Can I take this path?" Zhuo'er particularly hoped that she would agree with him. If so, even though he didn't take the exam, the money in his hand would be enough for the two of them to live for a lifetime.
"Go to the right." Shen Jie didn't hesitate at all, and pulled her towards another road that was perpendicular to the east of the road to her hometown.
She looked a little depressed, and she didn't have much strength to walk for a while. If Shen Jie hadn't pulled her forward, she would have been too tired to take a step.
Half an hour later, there was no longer an endless road in the distance. A wide lake lay in front of the road, and there were many boats parked on both sides of the lake.
At this time, there were already many richly dressed young men, young ladies and elderly people on the shore. There were also many carriages transporting people in both directions along the lake.
. . . . .
Shen Jie squeezed into the crowd and listened to the chatter of the people around him. This group of people were basically walking to the south. They heard the news from the north and had not yet heard the news that the Lawa people had been defeated. These wealthy businessmen But they couldn't wait any longer. They knew that the Lawa people were a foreign race, and they had never been merciless in killing my people. They moved part of their property and family members to the south. Even if the Lawa people came over, they wouldn't suffer much loss. .
"Let's go and ask if there are any ships heading north." Shen Jie pulled Zhuo'er, and the people around him were separated by a vague force before they were about to touch Zhuo'er's body.
"Everyone is going south, but you are going north." Zhuo'er complained. "What are you looking at me for?" She glared at Shen Jie.
Shen Jie was a little angry because she was still talking about this, but when he turned his head and saw this woman's tall figure and that face that people never tire of, he lost his anger.
There were many people standing on the dozen or so large boats they passed by, and some of them were clamoring on the shore to get on the boat, as if the Lawa people had already attacked, and if they didn't leave, they would die.
The two of them walked north along the shore for a while, and finally there were fewer people.
This ship is not small, and there are two small buildings in the middle. However, there are only a few people on the deck. Compared with the crowds of people on the decks of other ships, this place is really conspicuous.
"Boatman, your boat is so big, why do you only have a few people on it?" Shen Jie stood on the stone platform in front of the boat, looking at the lean man at the bow of the boat. This man's skin was extremely dark, and it looked like he had been exposed to the sun for a long time.
"Sir, we're not going to the south. If you want to go to the south, you'd better go over there and line up." The boatman didn't want to pay attention to them at first, but looking at their clothes and appearance, he couldn't offend them, and his attitude immediately changed. Said gently.
"Then where are you going?" Shen Jie asked.
"Huai'an Prefecture, our ship is an official ship of Huai'an Prefecture and can only go north. If it hadn't been for this reason, we would have taken the rich south here. Nowadays, a broken ship can make you rich instantly." The man said sadly. Up to now, neither of them had any intention of leaving. The man asked strangely: "Master, do you also want to go north?"
"We haven't decided yet. I wonder how much you will charge us if the two of us go to Huai'an Mansion?" Shen Jie asked.
The man thought he would get a positive answer, and was still planning to ask for some money. But the meaning of what he said became a little clear. If he said too much, he might give up the plan: "How about two taels of silver?" The man held out two fingers and asked with some uncertainty.
"It's so expensive." What Zhuo'er was thinking of was 2,000 yuan. With so much money, he could only get to Huai'an Mansion. "Let's go." She pulled on Shen Jie's sleeve.
"Actually, it's really not expensive. We usually charge this price here." Seeing the two of them leaving, the man said quickly.
"Zhuo'er, since the boatman didn't trick us, let's go on board." Shen Jie said.
Zhuo'er saw that he looked very determined, so she could only follow the wooden plank and step onto the deck. She immediately felt her body shaking a little, and her brain immediately felt a slight dizziness.
Several handsome young men and two women on the boat were a little surprised for a moment when they saw the two people walking by, especially when they noticed the woman's appearance.
"I can actually meet such a beautiful woman here." said a man surnamed Ling who was among several people.
"That man is not bad." A woman wearing a princess-colored dress said next to him. Her skin was as thin and tender as water, and her legs were thin and long and as white as snow.
"There is actually someone Wanwan likes?" Ling Tiancheng asked. "But at first glance, these two people are not simple people like us, but as long as Wanwan takes a fancy to them, third brother, you go and find out the backgrounds of these two people."
"Brother Ling, please speak softly. Don't let others hear you." Wanwan immediately put her finger on Ling Tiancheng's mouth.
Several other people were amused when they heard what she said.
