Chapter 144
Su Qin really didn't understand ancient travel, so it was better for Mrs. Xia to give her advice. It would be better to find a convoy of the escort agency and follow her, which would be safer.
After all, in their car, two women and two children, they look like they are walking together.
Su Qin thought it made sense. Although she had kung fu, it was a chaotic world now. If she was unlucky to meet a bandit and horse thief, kung fu might not be very useful.
Su Qin didn't dare to be arrogant when he beat the master to death by random punches, so according to what Xia Pozi said, he found the county's Hongyun Escort Agency.
The escort agency has a convoy to the Fucheng every day, responsible for escorting goods for people or sending people to various places.
Su Qin got out of the car and entered the escort agency. After asking about the price of the team, she paid a tael of silver.
They have their own carriages and do not need the escort agency to be responsible for food and drinks. One or two silver coins are just a simple protection fee.
But in fact, this protection fee will not play a big role. After all, it is only one tael of silver, and I still hope that people will save your life when they encounter danger?
I'm thinking too much, this tael of silver is just the cost of letting you follow the escort agency.
After all, there are escorts in the escort agency. These people are full of tendons and flesh, which looks very good. Ordinary thieves dare not provoke them.
When ordinary people travel far and follow the escort agency, their safety factor has been greatly improved.
There are quite a lot of people in this situation with Su Qin and the others. Su Qin looked at it and there were at least twenty or thirty people, including himself and a few of them. Most of these people do not have their own cars and horses, and they have to take the escort agency car, so the cost will naturally be higher.
While waiting for departure, Zhou Zhou and Yueyue were quietly staying in the carriage.
Zhou Zhou was hit yesterday and was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed and silently reciting the mantra.
Su Qin couldn't help but say, "Zhouzhou, you must bask in the sun or the moon when practicing qigong. Just this will not work. Don't worry, when you come back from the capital, your mother will take you into the mountain again. If you are so smart, you will definitely keep up immediately."
Zhou Zhou pursed his lips and nodded with his little face.
Yueyue, the little annoying guy, snorted proudly with his head raised.
Since yesterday, the little girl has been maintaining this proud posture, wishing she could look at Zhouzhou with her nostrils.
I don’t dare to be so perverted. It’s really just a few minutes before the little girl and Zhouzhou were born, but Zhouzhou is better than her when she was young.
Living under the halo of a genius brother, the little girl is under a lot of pressure. Now that there is something that has finally surpassed her brother, how could she be unsatisfied!
The more proud she is, the more uncomfortable Zhou Zhou feels.
I have been smarter than my sister since I was a child, but I was surpassed by my sister. This feeling is really uncomfortable!
He really wanted to catch up with his sister's progress, but who knew that his mother suddenly decided to go to the mansion.
It's so far to go to the city. I heard that it will take two or three days to walk, but it will take six days to go back and forth. And my mother will definitely have to stay in the city for a few days.
During these days, Madam Xia would always be with them, and he would not find time to practice at all.
This means that he has to endure Yueyue’s showing off.
Ahhhh, it’s so devastated when you think about it!
Zhou Zhousheng fell into the mattressed carriage and sighed a long time.
Su Qin looked at these two little kids and endured her stomach aches.
After waiting for an appointment for an hour, the escort agency finally announced its departure. During this period, more than a dozen people joined the escort agency's team.
The goods go in front, and the carriage takes in the back.
Su Qin was responsible for chasing the carriage and inserted it into the middle of the team.
The team left Qifu County in a mighty manner and set out towards the city.
Fucheng is more than 600 miles away from Qifu County. It takes two or three days to walk the carriage, and it depends on two legs, so it takes about six or seven days to walk.
In ancient times, when I was rushing on the road, the carriage did not go very fast, and the speed was slower than riding a bicycle.
It’s not that the horses run slowly, but that there is no such thing as shock absorption in the carriages. If the horses really run away, people will have to get a problem.
After walking for a day, the convoy stopped and camped in an open space.
This is what it means to rush on the road, rest wherever you go. This is a fixed camping place for the escort agency, and there are stoves built with mud in the open space.
The escort agency took out the cooking items in a familiar way.
Su Qin took out the meal prepared by Xia Pozi and the others in the morning.
It was still hot now, and Mrs. Xia didn't dare to prepare much. She cooked more than a dozen salted duck eggs, made some pickles, and baked twenty meat pies. Su Qin also bought a roast chicken in Qifu County.
She had space, but after Mrs. Xia followed, these things were difficult to stuff into the space, so she could only prepare less.
Fortunately, I will pass through some towns along the way and can be replenished at any time.
Su Qin asked Mrs. Xia to take her two little ones to eat in the carriage, and she went to ask the escort agency for a pot of hot water.
While no one was paying attention, he dripped a drop of spiritual spring water into the water. It was really tiring to travel in ancient times. The carriage was so bumpy that people's bones were sore. If he didn't get some spiritual spring water, Mrs. Xia probably couldn't stand it.
Mrs. Xia was really tired. She was not young anymore. She was in her forties and was still very young in modern times, but in ancient times, she was not young anymore.
After eating the pancake and drinking water, Mrs. Xia was a little overwhelmed, but she still insisted on her spirits and said, "Too... Master, you, the young master and the young lady, take a break earlier, I will be there for you."
Su Qin said: "Mom Xia, please take them to bed, I'll guard it tonight."
"How can this be done?"
Su Qin smiled, "You drive the car tomorrow and I will go to bed. That's it. Go to bed quickly."
Mrs. Xia couldn't fight for Su Qin and took two little ones to sleep in the carriage.
The carriage is quite spacious, and it is not crowded for one adult or two children to sleep. In addition, it is summer, so there is no need to worry about catching a cold. There are too many mosquitoes.
However, Su Qin had a "toxic weed" in her hand, so she took out a leaf from the space, and the mosquitoes around the carriage were dispersed completely.
The surrounding carriage gradually became quieter.
Those who took the escort carriage were not all crowded in the carriage to sleep. After all, they were not very familiar, and it was not suitable to squeeze together. So most people slept outside. The weather was not cold anyway, so it was quite comfortable to sleep outside.
It turned out that I was worried about mosquito bites, but who knew that it was not seen even half of the mosquito, which allowed people who had been on the way to have a good sleep.
Su Qin couldn't sleep, she was not that timid. This was in ancient times, and she was in chaos. Even if she had space and martial arts, she would not be fearless.
She always remembered a truth that her grandfather taught her: When walking in the world, you must not be careless and be cautious to ensure safety.
The reason why she was scattered outside in her previous life and never suffered a loss was not only because of the status of the Su family, but also because she always remembered this principle and implemented it seriously. Several times, she avoided dangers with caution.
The only time she suffered a loss was the car accident that caused her to travel through time.
