Chapter 8 The First Money

Bai Muyang came back soon: "Miancheng does not take in refugees, but allows 15 refugees who have a guide to enter the city every day to purchase supplies. The gates of the other cities are closed. If you want to go to the imperial city, you have to take the risk of climbing over the mountains."

Wen Nuan also understands that with so many refugees, the small county town of Miancheng is afraid that they cannot be resettled, so they dare not let them enter the city casually.

Bai Muyang looked at the mountain not far away, with a serious expression on his face: "This mountain is high and steep, and it will take four or five days at the earliest to climb over it."

Moreover, it is very dangerous to enter such a deep mountain and old forest, and one may die if one does not do well.

This is why the refugees would rather stand outside Miancheng under the scorching sun and wait for the government to rescue them than enter the mountains.

Bai Muyang looked at the siblings again: "Do you have a guide?"

He asked the soldiers guarding the city, and there are still places to enter the city today.

"I have it, Goro doesn't." Nuannuan took his Luyin out of the bag.

The original owner ran around with his grandfather since he was a child, Lu Yin has always been kept by himself, but Wu Lang's Lu Yin is with Wen's father.

Wulang is still young, it is impossible to stay outside the city by himself, Bai Muyang pondered for a while: "Then I can only enter the city by myself."

Nuannuan planned to go to the city in person: "Brother Bai, I want to buy things for women, why don't you accompany Wulang and wait for me outside the city, okay?"

Bai Muyang's expression froze at Wen Nuan's careless words, but he still said, "It's not safe for you to enter the city alone."

"There are so many refugees outside the city, it's not safe for Wulang and I to stay outside the city." Nuan Nuan had his own plan and tried to persuade Bai Muyang: "Brother Bai, I won't go in for too long, and I must come out before evening."

It's only noon now, and she has more than an hour to do things.

Bai Muyang was finally persuaded by her, called her far away, and gave her a 50 tael silver ticket and half a tael of silver: "In addition to asking for a guide, you also need to pay fifteen Wen for the rest. Go ahead and buy."

Most of the refugees couldn't afford the fifteen cents, otherwise they wouldn't be able to enter the city at this hour.

Nuan Nuan thought for a while, and only took half a tael of silver: "Take this money as I borrowed it from you, and I will pay you back when I come back."

Wen Nuan entered the city and found that Miancheng was even more depressed than he had imagined. Except for the shops on both sides of the street, there were many stalls on the street, but the people doing business were not directly proportional to the pedestrians on the street. Too many, the hawkers at the stalls are drowsy.

After Wen Nuan asked someone for directions, she went directly to the best-known pharmacy in Miancheng, "Ju Ren Tang".

Two or three quarters of an hour later, Nuan Nuan came out of "Ju Ren Tang", carrying 130 taels of silver notes and 20 taels of silver in his arms, heading towards the tailor shop.

These coins came in exchange for two pieces of natural bezoar she took out from the Chinese medicine room of Space Hospital.

Bezoar, that is, the ugly treasure mentioned by the shopkeeper of the medicine hall.

No matter in what age, natural bezoar is very precious, and the market demand is also very large.

She doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, but in this strange country, she has no money and no bottom, so she came up with such a way to get her first money in this dynasty.

She tried to hide the banknote in the space, but unexpectedly put it in, she couldn't help being surprised and delighted.

She tried to put the pheasant and hare caught by Bai Muyang into the space before, but she couldn't put it in anyway.

Nuan Nuan understood that living things cannot enter her space, and dead things like bank notes can be put in at will.

The tailor shop in this small county town of the dynasty also sold ready-made clothes and shoes. They didn’t need to buy clothes for the time being. Wen Nuan only bought a few pairs of wear-resistant shoes, and then bought a few pieces of leftover cloth from the shopkeeper for two cents.

"Shopkeeper, do you know where there is a place that sells backpacks?" Wen Nuan asked the shopkeeper of the tailor shop when she was checking out.

"At the end of this street, there is a stall selling bamboo strips." The shopkeeper said.

Wen Nuan originally only wanted to buy two baskets for carrying things, but he didn't expect that there were quite a variety of woven bamboo strips on the stall, so he bought two baskets and three bamboo hats for sunshade in one go, and also bought a bamboo basket with a cover.

After buying a basket, Wennuan went to the ceramics shop and bought a pot and several sets of bowls, chopsticks and spoons.

The open-air cafeteria in her space also has cooking utensils, but the cooking utensils are made of the same material as nurse shoes, which would not appear in this dynasty, so they were not brought out.

After buying the things he wanted to buy, Nuan put the cloth head on the back basket, then covered the bamboo hat, and turned into a deserted alley. When he came out, the back basket and the bamboo basket became heavy.

As soon as Nuan Nuan walked out of the alley, he was stopped by two foolish teenagers, one tall and one short, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Nuan raised her eyebrows: "What are you going to do?"

"Just take out all the valuables on your body!" The tall man said in a vicious voice.

Wen Nuan said calmly, "I'm a refugee, how can I have anything valuable?"

The short boy sneered and said, "Every homeless person who goes to the city to buy things says that, but everyone is filthy rich!"

If you don't have money, you can pay the entry fee of [-] cents, so treat them as fools!
Warm narrowed his eyes.

Looks like a habitual offender!
And it's specially focused on the refugees who go to the city to buy!

"They are the ones who don't cry when they don't see the coffin." The tall man suddenly showed cruelty: "We must do it ourselves!"

The two went towards the warmth at the same time.

Wen Nuan had prepared the anesthesia gun a long time ago, moved his feet, and went straight to the short man. Just as he was about to shoot the anesthesia gun, he heard a woman shouting in front of him: "Come on, there are robbers robbing, come on— —”

The two robbers were taken aback, and quickly looked back.

Wen Nuan was also taken aback, and when he looked up, he saw a child rushing towards him with a group of people carrying poles, sticks, and hoes, and surrounded the two robbing youths and beat them up.

"It hurts... it hurts... don't hit it... help~~" the two teenagers squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms and shouted.

"Killing you two is a disaster, and you still know it hurts!" The crowd was extremely angry, and they did not attack lightly, they beat them so much that they cried for their parents.

"Girl, are you okay?" The little woman came to Wen Nuan and asked with concern.

"Little sister-in-law?" Nuannuan looked at the person in front of her in surprise: "Are you also entering the city?"

The person in front of her was the little woman she had rescued on the mountain before.

Wen Nuan knew that their mother and son descended the mountain after the three of them, and these days they have been following them from a distance, and have not stepped forward to disturb them.

Unexpectedly, their mother and son actually helped her today.

The little woman smiled: "Qi'er and I went to the city to buy food on the way. Qi'er was the first to notice that something was wrong, and persuaded the peddlers to help us one by one."

Wen Nuan looked at the messy crowd over there in astonishment, and recognized that one of them holding a pole was the owner of a small stall selling bamboo strip weaving products: "So they are so warm-hearted."

The previous refugees were robbed, and these small vendors were all brave?
The little woman paused with a smile, and said: "Girl, let's talk as we walk, it's getting late, if you buy something, let's go out of the city first, the city gate will be closed later."
