HCB Chapter 153 Entering Linzhou
Chapter 153 Entering Linzhou
Captain Liu and Captain Hong Xiao pooled their money to buy the water, kept half for their brothers, and sold the rest at the original price.
This is also normal. After all, the things are bought by other people with their own money. It is unreasonable to ask them to pay for it if you are not related to them.
However, according to the prices in Liushao Town, it is really expensive, and everyone looked far away in the direction of Linzhou. There is more green there than here, so they think they just have to be patient, so most of them are unwilling to buy.
The Song family still had half a tank of water in their carriage, so if they drank sparingly, they could have eaten for a while. And when they got to Fanxi Academy, there would be many places to spend money, so the Song family did not join in the fun.
The two captains had expected that the water would not be sold, so they were not too anxious.
But what they didn't expect was that when they all thought that half of the water would have to be consumed among their brothers, Su Fuzhu pulled the boy she rescued and ran to the two captains to buy water.
The reason for buying water was naturally because the Su family was short of water, but the person who paid was not Old Lady Su who had money in her pocket. Old Lady Su did not give Su Fuzhu a penny at all.
The person who paid the money was the boy who was rescued by Su Fuzhu.
Because after Su Fuzhu rescued him that day, she was first praised by everyone and then scolded by everyone, so she didn't have time to take all the things off the boy's body before he woke up.
The waking boy looked at himself and saw that nothing was missing. When he heard that he was saved by the cute and smart Su Fuzhu, he immediately promised that after entering Linzhou and meeting the servants, he would take the Su family to Kyoto to live a good life.
He was dressed elegantly and his conversation was extraordinary, so Old Lady Su, Su Xigen, and even Zhang Chuncao, who had a particularly low sense of presence during the journey of fleeing the disaster, all temporarily believed him.
And because the boy believed that his savior was kind and not greedy, he naturally kept the things on him.
Su Fuzhu wanted to drink some water, and Old Lady Su pretended to be in a difficult situation because she had no money. When the young man saw this, he took the initiative to pull Su Fuzhu over to buy water.
He must have been very well pampered, so he has no concept of money.
He did not think that three taels of silver for a bucket of water was expensive, and he did not have any cash on him, so he simply pried off the ruby on his crown to buy water.
The price of a top-quality red gem is naturally far higher than these barrels of sky-high priced water.
He threw the ruby to the captain Hong Xiao without any care, and then directed people to carry water.
Because he gave so much, Captain Hong Xiao and his brothers didn't care about the boy's attitude and helped to carry the water over.
With the water, Old Lady Su smiled more kindly to the young man, even with a hint of greasyness.
After they filled the water hyacinths, they drank from them happily.
Afterwards, on the way to the border of Pingzhou and Linzhou, the family became even quieter.
The specific manifestation is that, on Song Rending's side, the text refreshed by 886 directly skipped this paragraph, and the description in the next paragraph went straight to the time when the young man's servant came.
Looking at the description above, which did not involve the team or the Song family, and meant that the Song family was about to part ways with Su Fuzhu's family, Song Rending was very happy and did not change the words. He even looked forward to that day.
However, no matter how fast the text jumps, she lives in the real world, and she has to experience the past period of time realistically.
So, the future is the future, and the present is the present, and we must hurry up and make progress right now.
At the border between the two states, crossing the checkpoint is naturally much more serious and formal than at the previous post stations.
Along the way, there were many fleeing teams, all of which came from various places in the north.
When we first entered Pingzhou, we were naturally wary of other teams.
Now, looking at the increasing green in front of us, many teams are waiting at this checkpoint to pass the inspection documents. They are able to get along harmoniously, and even people in two nearby teams can chat with each other.
The second team had no casualties, but just had a few more people who survived from the first team. When they passed the checkpoint, all the materials were reviewed very quickly. Even those who had lost their pass documents and household registration certificates in the first team received a temporary piece of paper to prove their identity at this checkpoint.
However, the third team did not have such a smooth journey.
Too many people died in the third team. When they entered Pingzhou before, the checkpoint inspection was lax, so they passed smoothly.
But now, the inspection to enter Linzhou is much stricter.
The situation of the third team kept the officials at the checkpoint extremely busy.
The situation in Liushao Town reported to them by Captain Liu and Captain Hong Xiao made them even more anxious.
Therefore, even though the second team passed the level early, they still had to wait for an hour before Captain Liu came back and continued to lead the team forward.
However, because of this delay, the sunset glow had already appeared in the sky, and it was impossible for them to reach the next resting point indicated on the map given to them by the officials at the checkpoint.
At best, they could reach the nearest town, Bailu Town, before it got completely dark.
Captain Liu asked the officials at the checkpoint about the situation along the way, so he knew that Bailu Town was quite good.
It is close to a large lake and there is also a very flat and open area nearby, so even if you cannot enter the city after arriving, you can still have a flat and open area for everyone to set up camp.
Not to mention, according to officials, Bailu Town has good public security and is a place where people can feel very safe.
After hearing Captain Liu’s promotion, everyone felt more relaxed looking at the green leaves and grass on the roadside.
After entering Linzhou, although the temperature was still a little high, it was much better than before, and the temperature before that.
After Zhao Lang took away the package on his shoulder for the umpteenth time, Song Rending held the hands of his two younger sisters, Song Yuedan and Song Jiaoke, and continued on his way while listening to 886's mumbling.
886: [Host, do you think that a boy who falls in love with a child at first sight is a pervert?]
Song Rendong: [Last time you asked me if Mu Yan's feelings for Su Fuzhu were abnormal, I answered your question. In a relationship, an age difference of eight or nine years is not a problem. However, this relationship can be between twenty and twenty-eight, can be between thirty and thirty-eight, but definitely not between eight and seventeen. So, do you think it is abnormal?]
Song Rendong decisively threw the question back to 886.
As a naive little system, 886 thought about it for a while, and then answered: [So, there are no perverts on Lang Ruanruan's side, but everyone on Su Fuzhu's side is perverted!]
