"There's a river not far in front of the forest. I woke up early in the morning and went to the river to catch two fish. Let's each take one for breakfast." Ji Xun said as he roasted the fish.

In the wilderness, being able to eat meat was considered good. After the fish was roasted, Mo Xiaoyan used her mouth to blow on it since it felt hot. Then, he took a small bite.

"Xiaoyan, how is it? "Is it delicious?" Ji Xun looked forward to Mo Xiaoyan's answer.

"En, it's delicious. The taste is pretty good." Mo Xiaoyan gave her a lot of face as she praised her.

The taste of the grilled fish was indeed quite delicious. Although there was no seasoning added on, it was purely natural. Occasionally, it was still quite good to eat like this.

Originally, Ji Xun had let Mo Xiaoyan wash the fish with the water in his water bag, but Mo Xiaoyan felt that it was too wasteful so he and Ji Xun headed towards the river in front of the forest together. Mo Xiaoyan washed the fish with the water in the river before continuing their journey.

Traveling in the morning was pretty cool, but it was already hot by noon. The sun was also very hot and thirsty, and the water in the water bag was used up very quickly. Luckily, it wasn't summer, if it was during the journey, he would probably suffer from heatstroke.

Along the way, Ji Xun rarely drank any water but he had always saved water for Mo Xiaoyan to drink. Each of them had a water bag, and Mo Xiaoyan's water bag was quickly finished, but Ji Xun's water bag still had half a bag of water in it.

"Xiaoyan, if you don't have any water in your water bag, just drink from me." Ji Xun didn't really mind this.

As for Mo Xiaoyan who was a little squeamish, even if she shes thirsty, she wouldn't go drink the water bag that others had drank from, so in the end, Mo Xiaoyan still saved the little water in his water bag. At the same time, she was also looking forward to getting to town quickly, so she wouldn't have to worry about losing food and water, he could even rent a carriage and travel faster.

"Big brother Ji Xun, I'm not thirsty yet. I saw that you didn't have much to drink during the entire trip so you must be thirsty. I still have some here." Mo Xiaoyan was not thirsty at the moment, but felt that it was very hot.

"Let's go faster. We might reach a town before nightfall. It will be much better then. We can have a good rest at night." Ji Xun was really thirsty so he took a few gulps of water from his water bag to relax.

"Really? Then let's go faster. " Mo Xiaoyan originally wanted to rest for a while, but after hearing Ji Xun say that he would be able to reach a town before the sky turns dark, Mo Xiaoyan immediately felt energized. He had to leave quickly so that he could reach there before nightfall.

"You've been walking for so long. You must be very tired. Why don't you take a rest?" Ji Xun said with concern.

"It's fine. Let's hurry on our way." Mo Xiaoyan felt that she had rested long enough to waste.

After walking for a while, he met a middle-aged man who was driving an ox-cart. Ji Xun hurriedly stopped the man who was driving the ox-cart.

"Uncle, where are you taking the ox-cart?" Ji Xun asked.

The middle-aged man stopped the ox-cart and said, "I'm going to the village ahead, what's the matter? What's the matter? "

"Can you drop us off?" Ji Xun felt that it wasn't easy to meet an ox-cart driver, he had to stop them and see if they were willing to take him and Mo Xiaoyan along the way.

"I have something on the oxcart, the two of you can't ride it." The middle-aged man actually wanted to collect some money and didn't want to drag them here for nothing.

"I think this space is more than enough for the two of us to sit, so why don't you pull us over?" Ji Xun was stupid, he did not know that the middle aged man actually wanted to earn some money.

"This won't do, I'm pretty tired from pulling the bull too hard. I think it's better not to. You guys can leave slowly. It's still early anyway." Even though the middle-aged man said so, he did not immediately set off with the oxcart.

After Ji Xun heard what the middle-aged man said, he did not know what to say for a moment and felt a little disappointed.

Mo Xiaoyan also understood the meaning of the middle-aged man's words, thus she pulled Ji Xun to the side and asked softly: "Big brother Ji Xun, do you have money on you?"

"Yes, what's wrong, Xiaoyan?" Ji Xun asked.

"Then it's done. Just watch me." Mo Xiaoyan felt that as long as she gave the copper coins to the middle-aged man, he would definitely agree to take it.

"You guys take your time, I still have something to take care of, so I'll be leaving first." When the middle-aged man saw that Mo Xiaoyan and Ji Xun did not even leave him while they were whispering, he became slightly anxious.

"How about this, you pull us two over, and we'll give you ten copper coins, how about that?" Mo Xiaoyan felt that 10 copper coins was more than enough, from here to there, it would not take long to get to the town using an ox cart. Right now, it was Ji Xun's money, Mo Xiaoyan was too embarrassed to give it too much.

When the middle-aged man heard that it was ten copper coins, he felt that it was too little and wanted to ask for a few more.

"How about this, fifteen copper coins for the two of you?" The middle-aged man felt that ten copper coins was too little. Seeing that Ji Xun and Ji Xun were just walking around so tiredly, he wanted to take an oxcart. Since he didn't want the copper coins, he would definitely want a few more.

"15 copper coins is too much. Besides, this trip isn't that far. 10 copper coins is more or less enough." Mo Xiaoyan felt that this guy was greedy, so dragging two people to walk such a small distance would cost him 15 copper coins, which was too much, giving him 5 copper coins each was already not bad.

"You little girl, I kindly pulled you guys over. Isn't it too little for you to give me this little amount of copper coins?" The middle-aged man said unhappily.

Seeing this, Ji Xun immediately pulled Mo Xiaoyan to the side and whispered: "Xiaoyan, look at how that uncle of her promised us fifteen bronze coins to pull us two. How about we just give him fifteen bronze coins?"

"Big brother Ji Xun, it's already not bad for the two of us to give him 10 gold coins, 15 gold coins is more than enough. I'll tell him more." Mo Xiaoyan felt that life was not easy, but it was not good to be greedy. If it was a long distance, Mo Xiaoyan would definitely give him more copper coins, but he had already walked so far, and was not far from that place. It was just that walking was too tiring, and he could rest while riding on the ox-cart.

"How is it? Are you going to sit or not? If you don't sit down, I'm leaving. " The middle-aged man urged impatiently.

"Sit, don't go, uncle." When Ji Xun heard that the middle aged man was about to leave, he became anxious.

"Then it'll be fifteen copper coins. I'll pull you guys over." The middle-aged man insisted.

"There's no need to sit, you should go first. It's not too far away anyways. We'll definitely be able to reach there when it's dark." Mo Xiaoyan said indifferently.
