Chapter 264 Metamorphosis
The carriage left the alley, and except for the big men in "uniforms", everyone else returned to their original positions. The shops and stalls all resumed business.
The people on both sides of the alley who were secretly guarding the entrance and not allowing anyone to enter have also quietly withdrawn.
Everything returned to normal quietly.
The aroma of food from the snack street brought in wave after wave of scattered customers, but no one noticed anything special about the place.
The carriage moved at the fastest speed and had already left Jixiang County and was heading towards Kyoto.
Xia Daohua had woken up from the bumpy ride.
Linghua is probably still in a coma due to her young age.
Xia Daohua took out an electronic thermometer from the supermarket, measured Linghua's temperature, and manually measured Linghua's pulse. She felt that there should be nothing serious, so she did not wake Linghua up.
She could hide in the space at any time, and could easily stuff Linghua into the space, but since she had been ambushed, she wanted to meet the mastermind behind the scenes.
After all, there are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
You are in the light while your opponent is in the dark. If you don't meet face to face and don't find out who is plotting against you behind your back, this kind of thing will happen again after the first time.
The other party only kidnapped me instead of killing me, so I think he must have some ulterior motive or desire.
If you come here for the recipe for pickled vegetables, that's no big deal.
Because they couldn't get all those seasonings together, even if they made them according to their own recipes, they couldn't compete with the products they had.
However, if it comes to the channels for purchasing grain and purchasing goods, it will be a bit tricky.
If she made up a story, she was afraid that it would not work. If she used the excuse that it was a merchant known to her aunt, she was afraid that it would implicate her aunt and the merchants.
Xia Daohua thought about it over and over again, but couldn't come up with a perfect solution.
I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. I felt that I was too arrogant to walk around casually before.
If you were like the rich girls of this era, staying at home every day to learn embroidery, you would not give the enemy a chance to attack.
But she was a stay-at-home girl in her previous life, and she had enough of that.
Although she went out to play a lot in order to get along well with her friends.
I could live my life again without mobile phones, computers or the Internet at home. These little fairies were so charming that the outside world naturally became attractive.
Linghua is a child who loves to eat. She likes this child and is a foodie herself, so she is naturally happy to go with the flow and take Linghua around to see the local food and taste all kinds of local delicacies.
After being depressed for less than a minute, Xia Daohua finally came to her senses.
In this day and age, if you don't have a backer, it would be extremely difficult to do a serious business.
But I have someone to back me up.
This backer does not refer to powerful people like Li Gan or Gu Mingzhen.
It’s your own space supermarket.
With a space supermarket, you will have endless food.
During this time and space, disasters struck almost every year, and countless people were displaced and struggled on the brink of starvation under the combined attacks of nature, the imperial court, and local gentry.
Since you have food in your hands, it means you will have a steady supply of soldiers and there will always be people willing to serve you.
I have a calm personality, in other words, I am too lazy to make any trouble, so I don’t think about it on weekdays.
But this setback opened up new ideas for Xia Daohua.
It made her think of a whole new path.
She had never thought of this idea before, mainly because she was lazy.
She originally just wanted to live her own life in peace and quiet, and of course this life had to be rich and comfortable.
If your "new family" is worthy of your care, take care of them.
If a tragedy like the displacement of people happens before your eyes, just do it and save a life.
But after struggling for so long, she found herself living in a turbulent era.
Although the Great Chu Dynasty has not completely collapsed, it has not unified the entire territory. There are enemy countries in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest that are eyeing it covetously, and there are also various problems within the country.
Even if she is really a powerful person, she may not be able to live a peaceful life.
What's more, she is just a commoner with a huge treasure?
These questions only flashed through her mind before. She was too lazy to worry about them, too lazy to care about them, and naturally too lazy to think about them.
But this time, the experience of being captured made it impossible for her to escape anymore.
We have to face reality.
This is a strange and backward time and space. This is not the modern world with a sound legal system, civilized society and equality for all.
Most of the social rules are no longer the same.
Her status here, her humble background and ordinary resume, although she made friends with several powerful people by chance, they could only help her avoid some obvious troubles.
At the critical moment, you may not be able to get help.
She can only do her best to protect herself and the people she cares about.
Xia Daohua had made up her mind, so she changed her mind.
She first carefully felt the speed of the carriage. The speed was very uniform and the road was very bumpy, making her feel a little uncomfortable. It seemed that the carriage should go for a while before stopping.
Xia Daohua put Linghua into the space and then quickly went in as well.
She rolled and crawled over to the machete she had placed in the storage area, and used the blade to rub the rope on her hand to break it. Then she remembered that she could actually manipulate the objects in the supermarket...
I forgot about it when I was in a hurry!
She hurriedly untied the ropes on Linghua and took out the walnut from her mouth, but left the blindfold on, allowing the child to sleep soundly in the space.
She flashed out of the space, and the ropes on her feet and hands had actually been untied, she just pretended to be tied up.
The carriage went on for a while, and someone lifted the curtain at the door and took a quick look inside. Seeing Xia Daohua lying motionless in the carriage, he went out again.
After a while, the man realized: "Oh, that's not right! It seems like someone is missing!"
"How is that possible? Are you dazzled?"
"Fuck you, you're dazzled! Wait, let me take another look!"
The carriage slowed down. The man lifted the curtain and looked around carefully. Seeing that only Xia Daohua was there, he frowned and shouted, "It's not that I'm dazzled. There really is one person missing! There were two people in this carriage before, and now that little girl is gone!"
"Ouch, could it be that he got thrown out when he was crossing Guniu Ridge just now?"
"No way! How can we not find out if we lost someone on the way?"
Several people couldn't help but look at each other.
They got closer to observe Xia Daohua and found that she was lying quietly facing the car, seemingly unconscious, with ropes tied around her body. They felt relieved:
"It's fine if it's lost! We have to hurry on our way! Anyway, that little one was just a sidekick, this one is the one the master specifically asked for!"
