"Okay." Xiao Moer put the book into his package.
"This box contains some medicine, and this box contains some poison. Don't get them wrong." Bei Yutang pointed at the two similar boxes on the table.
Xiao Moer nodded.
"Has everything been explained to Academician Fang?"
"Yeah. The academician is not able to come out."
Bei Yutang responded softly, "Okay, then we'll eat by ourselves tonight."
The next morning, they loaded all their belongings onto the carriage. When they arrived at the city gate, it had just opened. Farmers waiting outside the gate were carrying a variety of vegetables and heading into the city.
When they saw their carriage, they all made way for it, and the carriage headed towards the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
Daixiang doesn't know how to drive a cart, so today she sits outside and learns from Bei Yutang.
"Hold the reins like this."
"To turn around, just pull the reins left or right. Not too hard, not too light."
"When driving, pay attention to the road and avoid low-lying areas as much as possible."
"besides……"
Xiao Moer looked at the two of them, sitting behind them, her bright black eyes moving as she followed Bei Yutang's words.
"Mother, we can find a servant who can drive the carriage when we get to the next stop." Xiao Moer suggested.
If it was mother who drove the carriage every time, Xiao Moer would feel distressed.
"good."
Bei Yutang had previously been afraid to keep anyone around, fearing that someone might do something bad while she was asleep. With Mo'er's skills, ordinary thieves were no match for him, and with his ability to use poison, ordinary warriors were no match for him either.
After three days of traveling, Bei Yutang fell in love with the town surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. The scenery here is somewhat similar to the Jiangnan water towns of the Southern Tang Dynasty, with small bridges, flowing water, and houses, a picture scroll like an ink-like landscape.
"Mom, this place is so beautiful."
Dai Xiang also agreed, "It's really beautiful. Although it's not as colorful as the ones in Tiancheng County, it's quiet and elegant, which makes me feel particularly comfortable."
Bei Yutang had originally planned to stay in Nanshan Town for one night and continue his journey to Lingbei the next day. However, seeing how much the two of them liked the place, he changed his destination from Lingbei to Nanshan Town.
"We'll stay here for a while."
"Really?" Daixiang looked surprised.
Xiao Moer asked, "Mother, will this disrupt your schedule?"
"No." Bei Yutang touched his little head.
What a sensible child she is. Even though she likes something, she cares more about her own business.
If they had followed their previous plan, they would probably still be living in a remote mountain village under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou Prefecture. However, they had already achieved their goal ahead of schedule. With just two more tasks to complete, they would head straight for the Southern Tang Kingdom after the New Year holiday.
The three of them first found an inn to stay in, and the next day they went to a local brokerage to look for a house. They were lucky enough to come across a family who was going to the capital for the New Year holiday, and their house was vacant.
The house was located by a river, offering beautiful scenery. It was a rare and prime location in Nanshan Town. It was hard to find unless you were lucky enough to come across it. Bei Yutang rented it immediately.
The previous owner just left, and the house is clean. You can move in after a little cleaning.
The next day, the three of them moved in. After cleaning, they took everything else with them and didn't have to buy new things.
"Boom, boom, boom"
There was a knock on the door, and the three people who were having dinner in the house were all startled.
