Shen Zhaozhao walked out of the blacksmith shop and looked around carefully to make sure no one was following him before hiding in a corner of an empty alley.
He casually dropped the bag containing a bunch of arrows on the ground and took out a pistol from his pocket.
With a few clicks, the magazine in the gun came out, and she checked the bullets inside.
Quite full.
It is estimated that her colleague who traveled through time only tested the gun in front of the blacksmith and did not do so at other times.
Shen Zhaozhao was happy. He pushed the magazine back, put away the pistol, and turned around to look for Jiang Hu and Guo 꿻 with a full bag of arrows of various colors.
Shen Zhaozhao arrived at the agreed place and waited for a while, then saw two people coming over with large and small bags.
"Thank you for your hard work and for helping us carry the bedding." Shen Zhaozhao thanked Jiang Hu, his eyes falling on the bulging bedding on Jiang Hu's back.
Good job.
Guo Yu was really rude. He bought so many thick beds and quilts in one go, treating the officers as servants.
Jiang Hu, a strong man, was pressed so hard that he could hardly lift his head.
Guo 꿻 himself was not much better.
He was carrying a full bag in one hand and a large bag on his shoulder in his right hand.
Shen Zhaozhao opened the bundle and took a look, it was full of cotton and cloth.
"Didn't we buy cotton before?" Shen Zhaozhao still remembered that Yang Yu, the mother-in-law, had no problems with other things and was quite good at needlework.
Whenever she had some free time to rest, she would pull her sister-in-law Huang Juan and others together to make jackets with the cotton and cloth they had bought earlier.
"Isn't that enough?"
Guo 꿻 approached Shen Zhaozhao and whispered:
"My grandmother-in-law is used to a good life. When she makes a piece of clothing, she complains that the cotton filling in the sleeves is not solid enough, and that the shoulders are too loose."
"The cotton here is much more expensive than what I bought before!"
"I should have bought more earlier."
Shen Zhaozhao smiled but said nothing. With Yang in charge, these cotton-padded jackets must be genuine.
"It's still a while before we get to Mobei," Shen Zhaozhao looked at Jiang Hu, whose back was bent by the weight of several thick mattresses packed together, "We can't keep carrying him like this, can we?"
Two servants had to carry the injured Zhan Nanxing.
The other female members of the family were only required to take their bags and thick coats with them; these thick mattresses were really a hassle.
We can't let Jiang Hu, the officer, carry him all the way.
Shen Zhaozhao was a little worried.
In fact, she can't put it in her space.
There is no explanation for it, it appears and disappears the next moment.
It is inevitable to arouse suspicion.
Even the mattresses in the common bunk beds of the post station were taken in turns by her, for fear that someone would notice something.
"Master, what's the road condition like after we leave Youyun County? Are there many mountain roads?" Shen Zhaozhao thought for a while and asked Jiang Hu.
Jiang Hu was pressed down by the quilt and was breathing heavily. He grunted for a long time before he could speak clearly.
Further north, there are basically no mountain roads.
After leaving Youyun County and walking for some time, you will reach a road where grasslands and deserts intersect.
"That's easy. Since the roads are flat, we can just buy a donkey cart to pull our things." Shen Zhaozhao made the decision and waved her hand, pointing to the carriage and horse shop not far away.
Guo 翻 glared at Shen Zhaozhao, "Sister-in-law, we have to spend our money carefully. We have to buy more things when we get to Mobei!"
Jiang Hu really couldn't stand the pressure of the quilt on his back. Thinking that the money he earned was still due to Shen Zhaozhao's ability, he immediately spoke out:
"Go pick one. If you don't have enough money, I'll help you out!"
"Oh, how can I be so embarrassed?" Guo was shocked. How could an officer take a prisoner to exile and ask the officer to pay for the prisoner to buy a donkey cart?
"Go, go, go..." Jiang Hu took the lead and walked towards the carriage.
More proactive than buying yourself a donkey cart.
Shen Zhaozhao followed closely behind with a smile, only Guo Yu followed with a look of disbelief.
In the carriage and horse business, Shen Zhaozhao quickly picked out a donkey in its prime.
This donkey, she looked at her with a liking for her, and when she saw her reaching out, she moved her head towards Shen Zhaozhao's hand.
Let her stroke her hair.
Shen Zhaozhao liked it very much and gave it a name on the spot:
"From now on, you will be called Da Mao 떚!"
The donkey kicked its front legs and nodded its head to Shen Zhaozhao's hand.
After deciding on the donkey, 꺗 asked for a cart. After Xiao 괗 helped to harness the cart, he quickly took out a silver ingot to pay the bill.
Jiang Hu and Guo 꿻 were stunned by the whole operation.
"No, Chen," Jiang Hu stared, "How come you still have so much money? Aren't I here to buy a donkey cart?"
Guo 꿻 also nodded.
During this journey, Shen Zhaozhao didn't spend any money. Her bag was like a bottomless pit. She could take out a silver ingot by digging in it.
"You don't know," Shen Zhaozhao sighed, "I have a jade pendant passed down from my ancestors. I have always worn it close to my body and it has not been confiscated."
"I just found a pawnshop and pawned the jade pendant. I got some silver and am on my way."
"How can we really afford to buy a donkey cart for us?"
Shen Zhaozhao sounded aggrieved, and Jiang Hu felt guilty and ashamed for a while.
Lu Ming and Cao Ya both got some of the money they earned at Panfeng Villa, but Shen Zhaozhao didn't want any.
Now people pawn their jade pendants.
"I'll find a bank and exchange the previous voucher for gold. You take it and redeem the jade pendant." Jiang Hu said in a rough voice.
Shen Zhaozhao naturally couldn't agree, that would be a revelation!
"Big brother, I didn't want it before, and I won't want it now. Money is just a thing of the body. It's good for the family to be together."
"My dear, your journey has not been easy. You can divide the money among yourselves with the tickets. When the time comes, you can live a good life with your family when you return home."
Shen Zhaozhao spoke with such sincerity that Jiang Hu was so moved that his eyes turned red.
Guo 꿻 was almost moved to tears.
Seeing that his customer was about to burst into tears, Xiao Xiao, who was helping to hitch the cart, quickly spoke up:
"Everyone, the car has been loaded. You can put your bags in the car first."
"Yes, yes." Shen Zhaozhao's scalp was tingling. She was too sentimental and hurriedly urged Jiang Hu, "Big brother, put the bedding in the car quickly."
Jiang Hu followed his words, put away the thick bedding, helped Guo Xiao put away everything, let Shen Zhaozhao and Guo Xiao sit in the car together, and he sat in front of the car to drive.
The donkey cart moved smoothly out of the carriage and horse lane.
"This is the first time I take a bus on this journey." Guo Yu rubbed his sore legs and feet and sighed.
"Yes, the roads will be flat from now on, you can also put the three officials in the car to save the effort of lifting them." Jiang Hu sincerely helped the Zhan family with his plan, grinning.
The Zhan family felt more relaxed, and he felt more relaxed too.
"drive--"
As they were talking, the sound of horses driving came from the front of the road.
“Oh—”
Jiang Hu pulled the donkey's reins and controlled the donkey cart to stop.
Shen Zhaozhao looked forward and saw that on the opposite side, two tall horses were pulling a finely crafted carriage, blocking their donkey cart.
