After Chen Jinyu left, Lin Wanwan counted the time and felt that she could travel through time and space again.
Although I only slept for more than an hour, my energy has become very good. At worst, I can catch up on my sleep during the day tomorrow. But we can't move at night in Datang, so we have to go now. The primitive mountain forests at night are too dangerous.
After changing her clothes and putting on her hiking bag, Lin Wanwan walked through the time and space gate and came to Datang. Not long after she stood still, the little elephant that had been wandering nearby called out happily and rolled up a bunch of wild bananas.
"Da da" and ran towards her.
Lin Wanwan smiled and touched its head, and said happily: "It seems that you are determined to follow me! Okay, I will take you back to Luan County to keep my little Qingyu company."
The baby elephant nuzzled Lin Wanwan very smartly, and then ate the little wild banana with relish.
Lin Wanwan turned her head and saw the banana trees not far away, and sighed: "If it weren't for the miasma and too many poisonous insects in the south, it would be a really good place. No one would starve to death, right? The fruits and vegetables that grow wild
Too many. I don’t know why Guanzhong, which can only grow one crop of food a year, looks down on Lingnan, which can grow three crops a year.”
After sighing, she took out her compass and continued on her way. This time she was lucky. She walked with the baby elephant for half an hour before reaching the official road, and soon met a Han caravan riding a mule and a mule cart.
Unfortunately, the communication was not smooth, and the other party probably spoke the local dialect of Qiongzhou.
Some businessmen tried to communicate with Lin Wanwan in Mandarin, but Lin Wanwan couldn't understand Mandarin. Fortunately, Lin Wanwan was prepared. She took out charcoal and paper from her backpack and wrote under the shocked eyes of everyone: "I want to go.
Pier, can you give me a ride?"
After the piece of paper containing a glass marble was circulated in the caravan, the middle-aged man at the head looked up and down at the strangely dressed woman wearing a wide hat and a weird cloth covering her mouth, and then
He pointed to the relatively empty mule cart behind him.
Lin Wanwan made a bow and wanted to climb onto the mule cart with the baby elephant. She was stopped by the person next to her and made a few gestures. Although Lin Wanwan couldn't understand what he said, her body language was still very clear. This was because she didn't want to
Let the little elephant come on.
But how could the little elephant outrun the mule? It must have wanted to sit together, so Lin Wanwan smiled and held out her hand to him. The latter rolled up his sleeves, weighed it lightly, and then began to help Lin Wanwan lift the little elephant together.
It's time to catch up with the mule cart.
The others said a few words when they saw it, but Lin Wanwan couldn't understand what they were saying.
After getting on the mule cart, the speed became much faster. But Lin Wanwan was still quite sad. She could soon see the grand scene of Qiongzhou's world's largest port during the Tang Dynasty, but the language barrier was a problem! Hey, in that tribe before
There are two fellow villagers, but unfortunately the people there are eccentric and I can't hire anyone to be my translator.
After thinking about it like this, the pier arrived.
Lin Wanwan and Xiao Xiang jumped off the mule cart, bowed and thanked the Han caravan again, and then parted ways.
People in the south seem to be very short. If you look around, no one, male or female, seems to be over 1.65 meters tall. Most of them are under 1.6 meters tall. Lin Wanwan, who is 1.67 meters tall, stands out here.
Just when she was about to lift her feet, two children holding broken bowls came and stopped in front of her, begging her. Lin Wanwan took out some money from her pocket without thinking too much and put it into their pockets.
In a broken bowl.
This was a big deal. Dozens of children in the same ragged clothes rushed up at once, and all of them wanted to put their broken bowls under Lin Wanwan's face.
Lin Wanwan looked at these skinny little beggars, sighed, looked around, found a cake shop, spent more than thirty dollars, bought a dozen noodles, and distributed them to each of these little beggars.
Son.
She noticed that when she was doing this, the store owner was looking at her like a fool. This was pretty good. She was also sensitive to the fact that there were a few sinister-looking men in the corner, looking at the goods with their hands.
Look at yourself.
Lin Wanwan raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She was being targeted by a local snake. Could it be that he was the big beggar controlling these little beggars?
If you think so, I am not afraid. I can even lift a baby elephant, and it is no problem to knock down an adult man with one punch. When the strength is strong enough, what else should I be afraid of?
So, she took a group of little beggars as her tail, and strolled leisurely along the pier with the little elephant.
There were many laborers and caravans gathered here, and hundreds of large and small wooden boats were moored on the pier in front. Lin Wanwan walked and looked around, and she felt a little unsure.
When we arrived at the dock, we happened to encounter a large merchant ship docked. The people on the ship spoke Mandarin with a Luangxian accent and shouted something to the people below.
Lin Wanwan could guess from the faces of the excited Lifus what the other party said, that they were asking them to move the goods.
She pulled the little elephant aside, and at a stall with coconut fruits and coconut juice, she bought a bunch of coconut fruits with more than twenty dollars. She fed one portion to the little elephant and the rest.
Share it with the little tails who have been following her. Because they bought something, the vendor didn't mind that Lin Wanwan standing in front was in the way.
This is a big customer! We have never seen someone so generous to a little beggar. This person seems to be dressed out of place, and we don’t know where she comes from. Just seeing how generous she is, she is definitely not from those tribes.
The poor people here are poor.
Lin Wanwan looked up at the sailboat and thought to herself: This is a merchant ship from Luan County. You can find someone from it to be your translator. You can just observe it first and don't be in a hurry.
People were coming and going around, and some hands stretched out toward Lin Wanwan's heavy backpack.
How could Lin Wanwan, who was always paying attention, not notice that with just a few gentle waves, there were a lot of sly and scrawny people holding their wrists and wailing as they retreated. The red and swollen wrists of those people instantly became clear.
Telling those who are spying in secret that she is not to be trifled with.
Apart from her, the little elephant was not to be outdone, rushing through the crowd to clear space for Lin Wanwan.
The group of little beggars who were following Lin Wanwan and Xiao Xiang immediately took a few steps back when they saw this situation, but they were reluctant to leave. After all, this person who was incompatible with everyone in front of them was really nice.
Then he gave them bread and coconuts to eat.
The crowd was crowded and the tide was surging, but no one dared to come forward.
After observing for a long time, Lin Wanwan waved to the little beggar behind her. A boy of about seven or eight years old, who must have been the boldest, walked up and said a few words to Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan was too lazy to talk to him, so she directly put three copper coins and a note into his hand and asked him to give it to the crew member wearing coarse linen clothes who had just stepped off the ship.
