Chapter 1257 Twenty Taels, a Path of No Return
When she first came in, Shen Qingci didn't smell any dust. With her such a good nose, if she couldn't smell any dust, then the place must be very clean.
She took out a few copper coins from her body and gave them to Xiao Er. Although there were not many, Xiao Er was still very happy. Not too rich, not like those prosperous places in the capital, to be able to give such a few copper coins is considered a big deal.
Most of the people live in the hotel, but no one will give it to them.
And after Xiaoer left, Shen Qingci finally reached the edge of the bed. She touched the quilt above the bed. Although it was not too soft, it was still fluffy, and there was a smell of sunlight on it. It's a quilt that hasn't been exposed to the sun for long.
She lay down with nothing, and now she has nothing but this silver.
Compared with the days in Rongtie City, the life outside is really good. This feeling of being able to see the light of day again and go home again, I have never experienced such a turnaround, and I will never have such a feeling .
And the closer she was to home, the more homesick she became.
Thinking about balance, thinking about four children, and thinking about Niannian and Miaomiao.
I don't know if Miaomiao is getting fat again, or if Niannian has grown up?
She turned over, and then pulled the quilt to cover her body. This quilt was full of sunlight and smelled like bath beans, so it could really let her have a good sleep. She didn't want any sweet dreams.
As long as it wasn't some nightmare, as long as no one came to catch her.
Until she opened her eyes again, the sky outside brightened up.
And this night passed by, as far as Shen Qing Cici was concerned, she had no dreams all night, as a habit, she touched her chest, and that thing was still placed close to her body, and she brought it back after a narrow escape Things, absolutely nothing can happen, so this must be put away, because it is equivalent to her life.
Early in the morning, she left the inn and bought two steamed buns for herself, and now she really has something special about steamed stuffed buns. She likes to eat Cang Tao's steamed stuffed buns, and she also likes to eat them. Big Zhou buns.
It's cheap and delicious, and you can take it with you wherever you go.
She walked and ate with the buns, and also arrived at the place where the carriage was sold, and then found a place for herself to sit up, with her current coarse clothes and the face of a peasant woman, if she carried a basket If it is, people may think that she is an egg seller.
And with such a face, she is not out of place here.
She secretly looked at these people, also from their words and gestures, trying to find out something. Those who have never suffered a loss will never know what it feels like to suffer a loss. Was the loss she suffered last time not enough?
Fortunately, the person last time was only asking for money, not people. Otherwise, she hadn't died in Cangtao, hadn't been cooked by King Fenglun, and hadn't been a life-burning girl in Rongtie City. She was going to die in the hands of an unknown person, she was the daughter of Shen Dingshan, the majestic Shuo Palace, this is the way to die in a restrained way.
She will not rest in peace.
Then she took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun in her hand. Although she didn't speak, she took a rough look at the words and deeds of these people, and she had some ideas in her heart, but she felt that she still needed to come a few more times.
This time, no accidents can happen again. Where there are few people, she just fights with beasts and the sky. Why did she get here, but she started to fight with people again.
She stayed here for about three days, and took advantage of this to buy some belongings for herself, as well as a short knife that looked like the one Qi Yuan gave her back then.
After buying a few steamed buns, she ate one by herself, and put the rest in her bag. This is when she arrived at the place where the carriage was rented, and she also rented a carriage.
From here to the capital, it really takes a long time, at least three months, at most, it may be half a year, and now it is almost winter, and it may be halfway through the journey, and there may be snow at that time, If they happen to be trapped in a certain place, it is very likely that they will still stay on the road for a month or two, and then they will be farther and farther away from the capital.
Shen Qingci also really felt that his own way home, how could it be so difficult?
It is obvious that they are all in the Great Zhou, they are in the territory of the Great Zhou, and this is also their territory, but she still can't settle down.
She came up to a thin old coachman.
The old coachman also stood up, so thin that he was almost a bone. He had experienced too much wind and frost all over his body, and his body was ashes.
In fact, anyone can tell that he is like this, and maybe his time is really numbered.
"Where is the lady going?"
Shen Qingci touched his face. This was the second time someone called her a little lady. Sure enough, this face must have changed. It was not the same as before, Shen Qingci's age did not matter.
"I'm going to the capital," she let out a soft breath, and then sighed softly, "Master, do you want to go?"
"The capital city."
The old coachman grabbed the hem of his clothes, "Go, of course, the old man has never been to the capital in his life, even if he dies there, at least he will die at the feet of the emperor, which can be regarded as a rich way to die."
For some reason, Shen Qingci felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
Don't they all want to return to their roots? She worked so hard, even if she was begging for food, she still wanted to go home, why did he have to go to die?
"Little lady, are you going?"
The old coachman bowed his waist, and then patted the horse's head again, "Don't look at the old man, but this horse is young. It has good foot strength, and it will definitely take us to the capital safely."
"How much silver?"
Shen Qingci asked, she had money on her body and was not afraid of spending it.
"Twenty taels."
The lines at the corners of the old coachman's smiling eyes also increased. He was obviously smiling, but his eyes turned red involuntarily.
Come pick me up at the entrance of Tianfulai Inn tomorrow, Shen Qingci took out a purse from his body, here is what you want.
She gave the money bag to the old coachman. In fact, she wanted to leave now, but she had to let the old coachman take care of things. After all, this would be a farewell.
And say it is dealt with, it is better to end it.
She didn't intend to do anything good, she just thought about that sentence, it's convenient for others, it's convenient for herself.
This life of hers came for her convenience.
The hands of the old coachman holding the silver trembled like dry bark, and then he put the silver in his arms, and then drove away in the carriage.
As for asking if Shen Qingci is afraid, what is he afraid of, is he afraid that the person will never come back, or what?
