Chapter 114 Go to the county seat
On this day, Yin Bowu prepared the carriage to the county seat before dawn.
In the courtyard of the Yin family, Yin Zhenghong was picking the remaining edible vegetables. They planned to leave only a little of each, and try to dry the vegetables into dried vegetables or pickles that can be stored for a long time.
"Dad, we're off."
Yin Bowu, who was wearing old clothes, was behind Yin Miao who were also wearing coarse clothes.
"Go, stay safe and come back early."
Yin Zhenghong hammered his back and stood up.
The drivers were Yin Bowu and Yin Chengyun, but after Yin Miao got on, she found that she and Xiao Xuan were the only ones in the carriage.
"Where's Yunjiang Yunhe?"
Yin Miao asked in surprise, didn't they say they were going too?
"They go on their own."
Xiao Xuan sat opposite and looked at Yin Miao who was a little nervous.
"We only have one horse in the carriage today. Young Master Xiao was worried that the horse would be exhausted, so Yun Jiang Yunhe went on another ride."
Yin Bowu, who was in front of him, heard his daughter's words and turned his head to explain loudly.
"…Oh."
Yin Miao stopped talking. She sat in the car for a while, but she always felt that she was being stared at by the person opposite her. In order to prevent herself from being amorous, she turned her face out of the window.
Yin Miao only wore a piece of coarse cloth with patches today. At this time, her upper body was slightly inclined to the window, but she did not know that this posture just showed her graceful waistline, and the exquisite figure of the girl fell into the eyes of the other party. .
In the place that Yin Miao could not see, the man's eyes became dark.
He had seen quite a few delicate and noble women in the capital, but whether she was nationally beautiful or beautiful, they seemed to be no match for Yin Miao, who was wearing the lowest quality coarse cloth in front of him.
Does she not know that her posture is the most evoking?
The man's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the gradually tightened fist made him force himself to look out of the carriage window, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, he discovered her first.
Yin Miao finally felt that she was not being watched, and at this time she was about to reach Changling County, Yin Bowu directly drove the carriage to a winding road.
"The third brother is waiting for us here, and we will join the refugees and enter the city later."
After packing up the luggage, Yin Bowu instructed.
Yin Chengyun was the most unfamiliar with Changling County, so it was appropriate for him to stay here and guard the carriage.
Yin Chengyun nodded, then led the carriage to the back of a pile of hidden dead trees, and then waited in the carriage vigilantly.
The three of them successfully blended into the refugees on the side of the road, and then slowly walked towards the city.
Changling County has indeed changed a lot. Even the guards below the city gate are no longer there. The stone gate has become a place for some refugees and beggars to sleep and rest.
Xiao Xuan got the Sanding hat from somewhere, and he put one on Yin Miao's head first.
"thanks."
Yin Miao only felt that the dazzling sunlight in the morning was blocked a lot, and the bucket hat blocked the sight of most people coming and going.
"You're welcome, Yunjiang Yunhe is near us, we just go."
Xiao Xuan said to the two of them.
Yin Bowu nodded and walked towards the tailor shop with ease.
Seeing the tailor shop still open from a distance, Yin Miao was also relieved, she also wanted to buy soft cushions and ride the carriage comfortably with everyone.
Just arrived at the door, and after seeing the scene in the tailor shop, Yin Bowu and Yin Miao couldn't help but feel disappointed.
The tailor shop that used to be full of cloth goods is now in a mess. The tables, chairs, and benches are lying on the ground. There are still many pieces of cloth on the ground. They seem to have been emptied in a hurry, although the door is open. , but there was no one inside.
"Looks like we're late."
Yin Bowu said.
"Well, let's look elsewhere."
After Yin Miao was disappointed, she still planned to go around to see if she could get other suitable things.
A few people soon discovered that, except for the tailor shop, all the shops on the street were closed or empty, and even the tea shed that was still there last time fell to the side of the road.
"I heard that the grain shop hasn't opened since the locust plague."
Yin Bowu pointed to the smashed grain shop not far away.
"Why don't we go to the market again?"
Yin Miao felt that there was a high probability that they would go home empty-handed today, let alone food, they couldn’t even buy the things they used.
"it is good."
Xiao Xuan followed closely, his expression was indifferent, and there was no trace of nervousness.
There are indeed a few stalls in the market, but most of them are stalls selling firewood, bamboo baskets, or some old utensils.
"Over there."
Yin Miao happily pointed to a stall where a few pieces of animal skins were hung. Even if they couldn't buy soft cushions, those animal skins should be useful to them.
"You guys are waiting here, I'll go and find out."
Worried that it would be too conspicuous for the three of them to buy together, Yin Bowu decided to try it alone.
Yin Miao had to stay and stood with Xiao Xuan in an inconspicuous place on the side of the road.
"A Miao should not wear this dress in the future."
Xiao Xuan said actively.
"why?"
Yin Miao looked down, the clothes were just a little old.
Xiao Xuan pointed at the wrist exposed under Yin Miao's wide sleeve: "A Miao's skin is delicate and red."
“…”
Her wrist was rubbed with red marks at some point, and Yin Miao realized that the other party was caring about her.
It is true that the coarse cloth clothes of this era are as thick and hard as the sacks used in the old home. Wearing them not only feels prickly and itchy, but also easily breaks the skin. Previously, she would wear a bottom coat inside, but The weather is getting hot now, and if you wear too much, you will soon get sweaty.
"This, it's okay, it'll be fine in a while."
Even though she knew that the other party did not intend to laugh, Yin Miao still pulled the cuff down again.
Xiao Xuan didn't say anything else, but at this time Yin Bowu also walked back happily and said: "The stall owner promised to sell it to us, but we have to exchange food for them, they don't charge taels."
"Uncle Yin, did you go out with food today?"
Xiao Xuan's question made Yin Bowu stunned for a moment, then he quickly shook the bamboo basket behind him and said:
"Yes, in order to prevent this kind of thing, I specially brought some food hahaha."
"It seems that Uncle Yin still has experience."
Xiao Xuan didn't ask any more questions, but Yin Bowu was in a cold sweat. He didn't bring any food out, but seeing his daughter's appearance of not worrying at all, he gradually felt relieved.
Yin Miao was of course not worried, after all Xiao Xuan already knew that she had food, including the fact that Yin Bowu and Wei Shi were both insiders.
The leather-selling stall owner specifically explained to Yin Bowu, asking them to go to the third house in the second alley to exchange. Although Yin Bowu was a little reluctant, he remembered that the three of them had a kung fu today, and Yunjiang Yunhe also After being in the dark, he boldly agreed to the man's request.
