Fleeing From Famine, My Entire Family Was Reborn

In their previous lives, Su Yin, her mother, and her sister-in-law were brutally mu*dered by a mob. In a twist of fate, all three were reborn together.

Before the mob could reach their villag...

Chapter 285 Making a Treasure Map

The luxurious carriage ran for a while and then stopped.

After a while, someone came forward to check the breath of the woman tied to the back of the carriage. The woman who was dragged and her bloody body was lying motionless on the ground.

The guards informed the people in the carriage of the result. After a while, a guard untied the ropes, carried away the bloody corpse, and threw it casually into the forest.

The group left quickly as if nothing had happened.

After they walked far enough, Su Yin came out from behind the tree.

She came to the body of the woman, looked at her beautiful face, and sighed softly.

Su Yin looked up at the sky. There was still an hour before the city gates closed. If she ran back to the county town from here and saved some time, she would be able to catch up.

Su Yin picked up a shovel, chose a place with relatively soft soil, dug a shallow hole, and buried the woman's body in the soil.

For thousands of years, what this land valued was to be buried in peace.

That's all she can do.

"Girl, although you and I have never met, this is all I can do for you. I hope you can be born into a peaceful and stable era in your next life."

After finishing everything, he rushed to the county town without stopping.

At the last moment of the You hour, I finally got back.

As soon as I returned to the city, I saw my father waiting at the city gate.

"father."

Su Xiaozhong looked her up and down with a stern face. After confirming that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Did something happen?"

According to his estimation, his daughter would be back at the beginning of the You hour, but now it was almost the Xu hour and people came back in a hurry.

Su Yin nodded and shook her head. She lowered her voice and said, "After picking madder grass and going down the mountain, I happened to see a carriage..."

After telling Su Xiaozhong what happened when he went down the mountain, his brows furrowed.

"Dad, do you know anyone in the capital whose carriage is decorated like that?"

"Yes, and quite a lot. This kind of decoration is very popular among the noble ladies in Shangjing City."

It seems unclear which noble lady would do this.

"It was wise of you not to rush out." Su Xiaozhong agreed with her approach.

It is foolish for a person to do things beyond his ability out of enthusiasm when he is unable to protect himself.

It doesn't matter if you are stupid.

But the price of your stupidity is not only your own death, but also the implicate of your relatives.

"You must do the same when you arrive in Shangjing City in the future," Su Xiaozhong reminded.

Although he knew that his daughter would not act rashly, he still couldn't help but give her a warning, for fear that his daughter would get excited and speak up for others.

"Yeah." Su Yin nodded.

She felt helpless.

If she had not inherited Lan Xing's memories from her previous life, perhaps she would have been like the millions of ordinary people in the Dayong Dynasty, accustomed to these things and thinking that the actions of the powerful were normal.

But she happened to recover the memories of her past life, which made her feel very uncomfortable and made her increasingly dislike this decadent and corrupt dynasty.

Su Yin suppressed the discomfort in her heart and asked, "Dad, what's the situation over there? Have you found a similar cowhide roll?"

"We were lucky. We found a well-made cowhide roll in a fur shop."

"Let's get the stuff out today without further ado."

Su Xiaozhong also understood that as they got closer to Shangjing City, the time for that group of people to come and take it would be closer.

After the father and daughter returned to the inn, they gave some silver to the innkeeper, borrowed their kitchen, and began to boil the madder grass and purify the juice.

In order to prevent people from easily detecting the raw materials of the juice, Su Yin added acidic juice to a small portion of the purified branches and leaves to allow it to undergo chemical changes, and then tested whether the hot and cold properties of the other party would change.

After making sure there were no changes, Su Yin boldly began to join in.

Su's mother knew that the father and daughter had something to do and wanted to help, but was rejected by the father and daughter.

Su's mother took her sister-in-law to bed.

In a superior room, two lamps were lit. It was late at night, and they had already gathered all the necessary things, especially the most important one, the Sophora japonica juice.

There are writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him. The ink is of top quality and ancient ink. In the words of my father, you cannot use new ink, let alone ordinary ink. If you meet a professional, it will be easy to reveal flaws.

In order to buy this ink stick, Su Xiaozhong spent more than a thousand taels of silver.

One ounce of gold is worth one ounce of ink. This is no joke. Good quality ink, especially ancient ink, is very expensive.

"Hopefully it'll be worth the money we spent."

If the treasure map they got was fake, all their current investment would be wasted.

"Dad, think about it, where in our Great Yong Dynasty is it suitable to hide things? Or, in the previous dynasty, is there any place where they are most likely to hide things?"

Whether it was about the previous dynasty or the Dayong Dynasty, Su Yin could not help.

She is truly illiterate and knows nothing about the world.

After Su Xiaozhong pondered for a while, "There are two places that are very likely. One is located in the territory where King Yun is, and the other is located in the Lingnan area. The two places are not far apart, and there have always been rumors that there are treasures from the previous dynasty in those two places."

"Dad, then choose the middle point between these two areas."

Su Xiaozhong thought she would choose one of them, but he didn't expect her to do the opposite.

A little thought will reveal that doing so will make it more credible.

After the two of them confirmed it, Su Yin handed the pen to Su Xiaozhong.

There's no way, Su Yin is really not good at painting.

On the contrary, Su Xiaozhong, who had been emperor for ten years, had learned a lot in this area. According to him, he had made some achievements.

In order to ensure that the work can be completed in one go, Su Xiaozhong first draws a picture on rice paper.

After becoming proficient, Su Xiaozhong started to paint on the cowhide roll. Su Yin could clearly see the traces of his father's painting left on the cowhide roll. As time went by, the color would slowly fade away.

When Su Xiaozhong finished drawing a map, there was no trace of the place where he first started drawing, as if no one had ever written anything there.

After all traces of the map were hidden, Su Xiaozhong did not rush to paint, but first copied the map of Hongen County.

Su Yin was impressed by her father's skills.

Over a decade, the once foolishly filial and scumbag father has been transformed.

Su Xiaozhong was not satisfied with the first map.

The second one was not satisfactory either.

In Su Yin's eyes, these copied maps were almost indistinguishable from the real ones, but in Su Xiaozhong's eyes, they were not good enough.

After copying the fifth painting, Su Xiaozhong finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

“I finally found the feeling.”

"Dad, do you want to take a break before you start again?"

He shook his head. “You have to take advantage of this feeling and do it all at once, then you can achieve great success.”

Come on, just listen to dad.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle"~~~

The sound of roosters crowing could be heard in the backyard of the inn, and in the superior guest room, Su Xiaozhong finally put the finishing touches.
