In places that were about to dry up, a lot of fish were picked up and made into dried fish. She desperately stores food, not because she lacks food, but because she lacks a sense of security.
Even though she has adapted to the life here and even hid a person here well, her soul is free. Her soul will never belong here, and she even has no peace of mind here.
Time is passing and fate is changing. This month, she has been busy. At 12 years old, she is neither too old nor too young. At this age, she can only say that she cannot do much. At this age, he would probably be a primary school student in modern times.
When she saw that the river was slightly deeper downstream and the rocks of the river bank were exposed, she knew that fate was about to begin swimming and her escape was about to begin.
Especially during the month when she was about to escape, she had been observing the heroine's family, although the heroine had many faults. And most of the novels related to the heroine basically don’t end well. But she must stay away from the heroine, but when she first started to escape, she still needed the heroine. Because the original owner has no knowledge at all, and the original owner's grandfather has no clear knowledge.
So everyone has been busy on the mountain in the past two months. She has started to stockpile wild grass and dead wood from wild vegetables to firewood. She feels that they can be used. She also placed a few stones in the space, which are used for self-defense. This is not a last resort.
When everyone was looking at the mountains, she started catching small partridges by the river, river shrimps, bullfrogs, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, rice eels, and dog eels in the river.
What surprised her recently was that she found a river clam. The river clam was very big, almost as big as her two palms.
She packed the space quietly where others could not see it, and then quietly hid in the space at night and pried them all away. There was no meat, but she picked out a small bowl of pearls. In ancient times, pearls were obtained in this way. In extremely difficult places, the pearls in the river clams are also extremely profitable.
In order to collect pearls from the sea, some countries even set up special pearl fishing villages, and then the women in the skirts were called pearl fishermen. Most of the pearl fishing villages have lost their population, and a new village will be moved every ten or twenty years because the situation in the sea is complicated, and men also need to go to the river to fish for pearls.
This has also led to the general population of pearl divers being relatively small, and pearl divers basically do not live long. Therefore, pearls were still very profitable in ancient times. So when Wang Yiyi saw his own pearls, he ran to the county town to sell them without hesitation.
Why didn't you go to town? Of course, it's because people in the town know how to buy pearls, and there are no wealthy people in the town anymore. People know how to buy pearls. Ordinary people holding pearls are of no use.
If she just walks to the county seat, she won't be able to come back in one day. So she took out her bicycle from the space and started riding it, dragging two branches behind it to clean up the traces, and went while tomorrow was still dimly lit.
When she reached 1/3 of the way to a place with no villages, she took out her electric donkey, tied a branch behind the donkey, and rode the small electric donkey until she was 2-3 meters away from the city gate. Wherever there was, she walked there on her own.
When she saw someone a mile away, she had already carried a backpack. She wrapped the pearls in rags and took out a ginseng plant in the space to sell.
When entering the city, she had to check her household registration, but her wife had already moved her household registration. In the past, before the drought started, there was no need to check, and you only had to pay one penny to get in. But now many refugees have begun to spread to various state capitals, which has caused all states and counties to start checking household registrations, and the fee to enter the city has been from one penny. The price increased to five cents.
She took out her household registration, paid five cents, and went directly to the pharmacy in the county to get medicine. Nowadays, most people are hoarding food and water due to natural and man-made disasters, without considering whether anyone will get sick, so few people go to pharmacies.
She went directly to grab five taels of medicine, and then went to another store to grab five taels of medicine, and all seven medical clinics in the county transferred it to her. These include many medicines for clearing away heat and detoxifying, reducing body temperature and reducing fever, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, treating bruises, preventing heatstroke, etc. I even bought a lot of anti-mosquito, anti-snake and anti-rat medicine, anti-snake and insect powders, medicine packets and a lot of other things.
These things alone cost her nearly 50 taels of silver.
Then seeing that it was still early, she went to the cloth store to stock up on a lot of fabrics. After all, the end was coming next, and the time for their escape was still unknown.
Then I went around to the seed store and bought a lot of seeds to put in the space. These seeds are grown to be eaten secretly by oneself in the future or can be dried directly and eaten as dried vegetables. After all, many of the vegetables in her space have been cultivated, and there are some mutants that did not exist in ancient times.
Then she went to a pawn shop to sell her pearls.
"Little girl, are you here to buy jewelry?" the waiter asked curiously.
"I'm not here to pawn something. Is your shopkeeper here? Call me." Wang Yiyi answered lightly.
The waiter was a little surprised and said quickly: "Little girl, please ask me to call the shopkeeper."
After a while, I heard two footsteps outside, and a boy said in a flattering manner: "The little girl asked me to treat you to the shopkeeper."
"Little girl, what are you selling? I can't give you the price until I take a look at the goods," the shopkeeper said in surprise. After all, Wang Yiyi looks young and not tall.
Wang Yiyi took out a medium-quality pearl and placed it directly on the table. She asked what the price was for such a pearl. The shopkeeper was still a little surprised that he came to exchange for pearls. After all, pearls are rare.
The shopkeeper took a look at the pearls and gave a price that was neither high nor low. Say three taels of silver a piece. Wang Yiyi took one of better quality.
This one surprised the shopkeeper. After all, it was bright and purple in color. The shopkeeper directly said that it would cost ten taels of silver each.
Wang Yiyi sold all the pearls, almost 270 taels. Maybe it's because many people don't know that there are pearls in the river mussels, so these river mussels must have been growing for many years. She has a pure black pearl, which is very, very beautiful and very big.
She did not sell the pearl, but kept it. She always felt that this kind of pearls had great collectible value. In fact, she just likes it and doesn't want to sell it.
