Chapter 41
The house is not soundproof, so Liu Xiaodong, who lives next door, naturally heard the noise outside, but she didn't intend to pay attention to it, she still needs to be cautious and careful when she is out alone as a woman.She doesn't intend to join in the fun for things that have nothing to do with her.

So Liu Xiaodong had no idea that the person living next to her was Xiang Qin.

It wasn't until the outside became quiet that Liu Xiaodong fell into a deep sleep. She couldn't bear the day's walk.Xiang Qin next door heard that there was no movement in Liu Xiaodong's room, so he also lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

The next morning, as soon as the sun shone into the room, Liu Xiaodong woke up too. She checked the things she had brought out and found that they were still there, and nothing was missing, so she went downstairs to check out the room and left.

"Hey, shopkeeper, I want to ask you something." When Liu Xiaodong went to check out, he stopped the shopkeeper. With her alone, how long would it take to find the way to the northwest? With so many people coming and going, she must be well-informed, so she wanted to ask the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Guest officer, please ask."

"Do you know how to go northwest from here? How long will it take?"

"Northwest? If I say something bad, please don't blame me. The girl is going to the barren land in the northwest alone. I'm afraid it will be unsafe."

"It doesn't matter, my family is there, so I'm going anyway."

The shopkeeper nodded, "A few days ago, an official who escorted prisoners from the northwest came to stay here. I heard from him that he walked here from the northwest for more than two months."

Liu Xiaodong asked anxiously again, "Then did he say how to get to the northwest?"

"Yes, but he said too much, and I can't remember some of them."

"It's okay, just tell me what you know."

The shopkeeper nodded, "He said, if you want to go to the northwest, you have to go from the town to Ancheng first. It takes five or six days to get there by car, and then to Tongcheng. Tongcheng is far away, and it takes about ten days by car. I have to go to Xiangcheng by boat, and it will take more than ten days by boat, and I can’t think of the others, but it will take a month if I calculate it alone.”

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

"You are polite, guest officer, go slowly."

When Xiang Qin heard Liu Xiaodong going downstairs, he also followed.

"What did you tell her just now?" The shopkeeper just sent Liu Xiaodong away, but when he turned around, he bumped into Xiang Qin.

The shopkeeper knew that Xiang Qin was asking about Liu Xiaodong, so he didn't dare to hide it, and said without saying a word, "She asked me how to get to the northwest, and how long it would take me to get there. I said it would take more than two months at the earliest. , and then told her all the routes I know, and the rest will be gone.”

northwest?What did Liu Xiaodong do in the northwest?Xiang Qin couldn't figure it out, and suddenly he thought of a sentence Liu Xiaoguang said, "Because of General Mu's collusion with the enemy and treason, the emperor even exiled his corpse to the northwest, and even dug up the graves of his ancestors and sent them to the northwest together. "Is it because of this?

But how could Liu Xiaodong, a woman who grew up in a village, have anything to do with the general?But apart from this, there is nothing to do with Northwest.Let's follow Liu Xiaodong first.Xiang Qin thought so.

Liu Xiaodong came out of the inn without breakfast, and the room rate was so expensive last night, Liu Xiaodong was not willing to buy any more food. Liu Xiaodong, who hadn't eaten for two meals, bought two buns on the street and gnawed on them.

While eating buns, Liu Xiaodong was thinking about how to get to Xian'an City. Renting a car is definitely not an option. The rent is too expensive. She only has 200 taels of silver on her, and she has to deduct the cost of accommodation and meals, which is definitely not enough. .

Then I can only walk by myself, but it takes five or six days to get there by car, when will I have to walk to get there.Forget it, let's go first, there is really no money, Liu Xiaodong began to regret why he didn't dig more herbs to earn more money.

Liu Xiaodong walked for a day and didn't go very far. Now she went to a village called Sishui Village and found a villager's house to stay overnight. The villagers here are very nice, and she refused to ask for her money to stay overnight. Also ate a dinner in vain.

Liu Xiaodong was staying overnight with a middle-aged couple. The husband's surname was Huang, so Liu Xiaodong could just call him Brother Huang, and his wife's surname was Zhang, and her name was Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying saw that Liu Xiaodong was carrying a burden and asked her what she was going to do?
"I want to go to the northwest to find my family. I heard that I'm going to Ancheng first, so I'm trying to find a way to go to Ancheng."

Zhang Ying laughed when he heard the words, "It's a coincidence, our old Huang is going to Ancheng tomorrow, just ask him to give you a ride."

Liu Xiaodong was also surprised when he heard that, he found someone to stay at random, and he could meet someone who was traveling with her, "Then thank you, brother and sister-in-law, you must accept the money." Liu Xiaodong took out a penny Come.

Zhang Ying didn't answer, "It's just a matter of passing by, don't need this."

"I've already lived here for nothing today, and if I ask Brother Huang to send me to Ancheng, I'm really too sorry, sister-in-law, you'd better accept it."

Zhang Ying couldn't resist Liu Xiaodong, so she had to accept the money, "You are a woman, how can you go so far by yourself, the world is not peaceful now."

Liu Xiaodong had already thought up his excuse, "My family is all in the northwest, I was trafficked here by human traffickers, and I escaped while they were not paying attention."

What Liu Xiaodong said made Zhang Ying feel that she was indeed a poor person.

Besides, Xiang Qin followed Liu Xiaodong all the way to Sishui Village, saw Liu Xiaodong find a house to stay in, and he found a tree at random not far from the house where she stayed, and fell asleep leaning against it.

On the second day, Big Brother Huang harnessed the carriage, let Liu Xiaodong into the car, and drove the car to Ancheng. Zhang Ying kept yelling at the door of their house to tell them to be careful on the road, so Big Brother Huang laughed honestly.

Seeing that the relationship between the husband and wife is so good, Liu Xiaodong thought of Xiang Qinlai for some reason.Xiang Qin must have found out that she left by now, he must hate her to the core, and Tian's, he still doesn't know how sad he should be.

When Liu Xiaodong thought of Xiang Qin and the Tian family, she also felt sore in her heart, which was something she had never felt before.

Liu Xiaodong and Brother Huang drove for five days and finally arrived in Ancheng.

On the way, Liu Xiaodong knew that Brother Huang would come to Ancheng to see his old mother every once in a while. Brother Huang's father died early, so his mother remarried to Ancheng, and his mother's current man also died. Son, his mother doesn't want to live with him in the village, so Brother Huang can only come to see him every once in a while.

This time Liu Xiaodong just caught up with Brother Huang who was coming to Ancheng to visit his wife, so he got into his car and came together.
