??Chapter 13 Entering the city, seeking skin with a tiger
?? After the rain stopped, the official team immediately prepared to set off, and rushed to the next place that could shelter from the rain before it rained again.
??Su Ying stood in front of Xiao Jin and the others with Mother Zhao and the tiger skin on their backs. Bai Shuang had a good night's rest and felt much better today, so she simply put the second treasure on her back.
?? "Everyone follow closely, hurry up if you don't want to get caught in the rain again." The officer waved his whip and shouted all the way.
??These prisoners are already extremely weak. In addition to being exposed to rain yesterday, they fell down a lot along the way.
?? Those prisoners who fell down, the officials could only lift them to the wooden cart, and throw them away at any place after they died.
?? "Be careful!" Su Ying suddenly reached out to support the uncle who was about to fall.
??The uncle almost put most of his weight on Su Ying's hands, but Su Ying still supported him without changing his face.
??Seeing that he couldn't move anymore, Su Ying stopped and waited for him to breathe.
?? After taking a breath, the uncle seemed to be better. He raised his eyelids weakly and looked at Su Ying, wanting to thank him, but because his body was too weak, he couldn't even speak a word.
??Su Ying took out a person's energy candy from his body and stuffed it into his mouth. The uncle only felt a sweet fragrance spread between his lips and teeth, although his cold body also got a little warmth.
?? "Thank you so much, little lady."
?? "Let's continue on our way with the remaining strength."
??The uncle was really weak, so he had to hold his breath and continue to follow Su Ying to keep up with the team.
Strange to say, after eating that candy, the uncle felt more and more energetic as he walked, and even his cold hands and feet became hot. He looked at Su Ying with some surprise, and felt that Su Ying's appearance was somewhat familiar. But for a while, I can't remember where I saw it.
?? When he was able to leave by himself, the uncle stopped letting Su Ying help him, and he didn't talk nonsense, he just walked beside Su Ying, but he remembered Su Ying's help in his heart.
?? "Where will we end up if we go on like this?" Su Ying felt that it was not her style to follow the team so blindly. She had to find a way to understand the situation along the way so that she could prepare for the next thing.
Hearing Su Ying's question, the uncle felt that it was time for him to come in handy, "Little lady, we have already reached the boundary of Guangdong City. If we travel fast today, we should be able to reach a county below Guangdong City. Tonight It is estimated that they are going to rest outside the city."
?? These words made Su Ying's eyes brighten. If she could go to the county town and sell this tiger skin, then she could buy supplies in the county town.
?? "It seems that uncle knows a lot about this."
??The uncle smiled wryly and shook his head, "Old man, I have a gluttonous tongue. When I was young, I liked to travel around looking for a stutter." But he never thought that this stuttering would ruin his family.
?? "Uncle, what's your surname?" The journey was boring, so Su Ying chatted with the uncle.
?? "Old man He Shouyi."
?? "My name is Su Ying."
??He Shouyi was stunned for a moment, looking at Su Ying's cold and solemn eyebrows under the cloud, he was very surprised. Could this be the notorious Princess Qi... The real person really doesn't match the rumors.
??The officials may also be worried that it will continue to rain on the way, so they didn’t stop on the road. They walked all the way to the outside of the county seat and asked them to find an open space for people to form a team and prepare to send people into the city to buy dry food and corresponding supplies.
?? Fortunately, the weather is considered beautiful. Although the sky is still gloomy, it didn’t rain any more when we reached the outside of the county.
??The officer found an open space outside the city for everyone to settle down.
??Su Ying put Zhao's mother under a big tree, and found Li Da with the tiger skin on her back.
??Li Da felt his scalp go numb when he saw Su Ying. There was nothing he could do. The scene where she killed the tiger was still fresh in my memory.
?? "My lord, take a step to speak."
??Li Da felt that he had nothing to say to her, but before he could refuse, he was forced to retreat by her frightening phoenix eyes.
??Li Da could only follow her to a big tree.
"what are you up to?"
??Su Ying smiled, intending to make herself look kinder, but she didn't know it, but this smile made Li Da panic even more.
?? "Don't be afraid, sir, what can I, a weak woman, do to you."
??Li Da: "..." I thank you for being a weak woman!
?? "If the official can bring me into the city to sell tiger skins, I can give you 10% of the profit." Su Ying directly stated her purpose.
Li Da was stunned for a moment, and looked at the tiger skin in her hand. It was a great temptation. The white tiger is rare, and the big tiger skin is very complete. If you sell it, you can get thousands of taels of silver at least. , That's hundreds of taels!
?? Seeking skins from tigers, nothing more!
??Li Da agreed almost without hesitation. After all, Su Ying really wanted to run, and he couldn't stop him!
?? "Okay, you wait."
??In order not to be eye-catching, Li Da got Su Ying a set of official uniforms for her to change into, and then he ordered two more people to go to the city to supply supplies.
??Li Da took Su Ying to the gate of the city, because it is a county town, the entry and exit will not be too strict, several people went in smoothly.
??After entering the city, Li Da asked two officials to buy dry food, while he took Su Ying to another street.
??Walking on the streets of the county seat, Su Ying felt very fresh looking at the hawkers on both sides of the street. Living in the war-torn era of the end of the world, she had never seen such a scene.
??Li Da took Su Ying outside a **** shop and stopped.
?? "After we go in for a while, let's not say anything and let the other party bid first. Such a tiger skin is cheap if it is less than 1,000 taels, so it can't be sold." Before going in, Li Da instructed Su Ying.
??Su Ying nodded, the higher the price of the tiger skin, the more money Li Da will get, and there is no need for him to lie to her about this.
?? As soon as the two walked in, the guy behind the counter greeted them. Seeing that they were wearing official clothes, he smiled and said, "Do you want to buy something, or do you want to pawn?"
??Su Ying put the tiger skin on the table, and the folded tiger skin actually filled the entire table, "Pawn the tiger skin, see what price you can give."
The man was stunned seeing such a big piece of tiger skin, he couldn't make up his mind about such a big object, "You two officials, wait a moment, the little one will ask our shopkeeper to come out and take a look." I went to the back hall.
?? Not long after, a lazy and displeased voice sounded from the back hall, "Disturbing my sleep, you'd better show me something great, or I won't spare you."
?? "Don't worry, shopkeeper, the little one grows so big, I've never seen such a big tiger skin."
?? "There are so many things that the boy has never seen before."
??The curtain of the back hall was lifted, and a handsome-looking man came out with a bit of scorn between his brows.
??The loose front of the green robe on his body was slightly open, revealing the obscene clothes, and his hair was just tied behind his head with a wooden hairpin, looking lazy and wanton.
??Xu Sanqing raised her brows, and her light-colored eyes fell on Su Ying's body, and her eyes were shrewd, "Hey, it turns out that he is an official from the capital."
