Escape from the Famine

Chapter 23 Untitled Chapters

When I entered the city, I saw a lot of vendors, and the noise of hawking was endless. It was a different world from the outside of the city.

The baby was in Chiyu's arms, with big eyes looking here and there curiously.

One pair of eyes is not enough.

"Zhao Gang, go buy food! I'll go to the cloth shop."

Chi Yu didn't let Aunt Li and the others follow, it was more convenient for her to take the baby by herself.

Zhao Gang pondered for a while and said, "Well, let's gather in front of this grain store, and we'll go back together when you come."

Zhao Gang thought that she, a weak woman, could kill wild boars, and believed that no one could hurt her.

Chi Yu nodded, "Then it's settled!"

After saying goodbye to them, he headed towards the cloth shop next to him.

"Mom, what are we going to do?"

The baby has become more energetic these days, and his intelligence is also rising under the nourishment of Tianling spring water.

Chi Yu also has a vivid memory of the words that Chi Yu taught him, and he remembers them very clearly.

"Buy clothes! The baby's clothes are also torn, buy some clothes for the baby."

The mother and son were stopped before they entered the cloth village.

"Where did the beggar come from? Get lost!"

The store clerk chased the mother and son out like a fly.

Chi Yu looked him up and down, the animal skin clothes looked really inconspicuous, but he wasn't a beggar, was he?
"Are you a pair of dog eyes? How does this old lady look like a beggar?"

Chi Yu choked while protecting the child in his arms.

It's really a dog's eyes to look down on people!Why didn't a shop with such a guy close down?

"I see you look like a beggar everywhere!"

"Go away! Do you know where we are? Our boss is the county magistrate. Is this the place for people like you to come?"

The guy raised his head and chest, this is the shop of the county magistrate, it is full of high-end fabrics, and the beggar can't afford it!

Chi Yu also knew more or less what the county magistrate was, the magistrate of this city.

The slaves raised by the magistrate are so arrogant, it seems that this county magistrate is not a good bird!
"You begged me to come or not! I wish you a happy closing!"

snort!Chi Yu snorted and turned around to go to another cloth shop.

Don't go to such a shop!
"How do you talk!" The shop assistant's complaints grew further and further away.

snort!The baby also snorted coldly, how dare you treat his mother like this?When he grows up, he must buy a lot of cloth for his mother!
Chi Yu was amused by the baby, and it turned out that his son was caring!

Opposite the cloth shop is a smaller cloth shop. The clerk saw someone coming and greeted him with a smile.

He didn't dislike Chi Yu's appearance, but introduced the fabric patiently.

"Madam, these are all very comfortable to wear, which one do you want?"

The parched mouth introduced by the guy didn't lose his patience either.

Chi Yu nodded in satisfaction, only such a cloth shop would have business.

But his address surprised her a bit, Zhao Gang and the others called her Miss Yu, so she was called Madam here?
It's still Miss Yu who sounds good to her ears, but she is not someone's wife!

"I don't want fabric, I want some clothes that I'm wearing, and some that my son is wearing."

Buying two pieces of clothes for the baby is also a deception.

"Yes, yes! Look over here!"

The guy took the pond fish to the other side, and there were all kinds of clothes hanging on the wall.

Chi Yuxiang chose a few pieces of ordinary materials, the most important thing is that the workmanship is simple and not so cumbersome.

The rest of the clothes looked cumbersome, and must have been troublesome to wear.

"This one! This one! And those few more! Wrap them up for me!"

Chi Yu didn't even ask the price, and wrapped up all the fancy items.

The man saw that this was a big customer!

Ever since they encountered natural disasters and wars, their business in this city has also been sluggish, and there are very few people who buy so many clothes at once.

"Okay! Madam, wait a moment!"

The shop assistant happily started packing.

The baby lay obediently on Chi Yu's body, looking at those colorful clothes with curiosity in his eyes.

He had never worn such beautiful clothes before!

A total of more than a dozen pieces of clothing were all wrapped round by pond fish.

"This? Ma'am, the bank note is relatively large, and it will take some time to exchange it. Can you wait?"

The bank note in the hands of the store clerk is 100 taels, and the monthly turnover of their small shop is only 100 taels.

"Okay! I'll wait."

Chi Yu readily agreed.

"Okay! Wait a minute!"

The store clerk took the bank note and went to the second floor. Such a large amount of bank note had to be exchanged by the shopkeeper himself.

Chi Yu dared to put the baby on the ground for him to play by himself in the store, but he dared not put the baby down outside.

The army is in turmoil outside, refugees are everywhere, and children will have accidents if they are not careful.

"Mom, there are so many fun things outside!"

Bao Bao stood at the door of the cloth shop, watching the people coming and going outside, and the eyes of the small merchants were full of curiosity.

He has never been to such a big city, so he is curious about everything he sees.

"Mother will take you out to play later."

Seeing the longing in his eyes, Chi Yu decided to take him to have fun later.

"Okay!" The baby nodded happily.

At this time, the store clerk came down from the second floor with a purse, "Madam has been waiting for a long time! This is your money. After deducting the money for buying clothes, there are still 96 taels of silver left. Please order."

Chi Yu took the purse and didn't order it. She believed in the character of the shop assistant.

"No need to order, is there a place to change clothes?"

She thought about changing into new clothes here, so as not to be treated as a beggar.

"Yes, yes, yes! Madame and the little one."

The store clerk took Chiyu to a changing room around the corner.

Afraid that the baby would get lost, Chi Yu carried him into the changing room together.

First put the baby in clothes made by Arthur, and the small clothes made of animal skins are made according to the clothes styles of this world.

The baby's light blue clothes set off his cleanliness and freshness.

"The baby is so beautiful."

Chi Yu had to admit Aunt Li's vision, the baby's face looked much better after these days of nourishment.

He will definitely be a handsome guy when he grows up.

It’s still a little dark and a little skinny now, but it will look good when I raise it again!

The baby was praised and blushed in embarrassment.

Chi Yu quickly changed into a simple coarse cloth shirt, which at first glance looked like men's clothing.

In fact, these are the clothes that women wear when they work. The upper body is a short slanted coat, the lower part is wide-leg pants, and an embroidered belt is tied around the waist, which is simple and neat.

He tied up his messy hair again and fixed it with a hairpin that looked like a branch.

"My mother is also pretty."

The baby saw Chi Yu change clothes as if she was a different person, and threw herself into her arms to act like a baby.

The mother's body is actually fragrant.

"We both look good!"

Chi Yu didn't feel humble at all.

Arthur rolled his eyes in the space for a while. Your old thin face is sharp and angular, and your eye sockets are deep-set. You look like a ghost. How good is it?

There is something to be proud of, right?

I don't know when the master became blind, but he still thinks he looks good?
The couple bid farewell to the shop assistant and strolled on the street.
