Lin Jiao was wearing a thin summer shirt and had to change before going out.
When Pei Yuan went out, people in the yard were still noisy.
He went to the waiter and asked if there was a sledge. Almost every house in the east, west and north had this kind of sledge. He gave the waiter a few tens of pennies, and the waiter happily brought him a relatively clean sledge.
A thick layer of meadow was placed on the sledge.
He also lent his dog to Pei Yuan.
Many people in the north use dogs to pull sledges.
When Lin Jiao changed her clothes, Pei Yuan had already set up the sledge.
"Given by the waiter?"
Lin Jiao looked at Pei Yuan sitting on the sledge, walked over and asked.
No one except the waiter can prepare this so quickly.
"Um."
Pei Yuan nodded and moved the place where he had just sat to let Lin Jiao sit.
The place where he sat was already hot, and Lin Jiao wouldn't feel cold when she sat on it.
"Let's buy a larger sledge first, and then we'll see if there are any horses in the stables?"
On the way to Liangzhou, we can no longer use dogs to pull the sledge, we can only use horses.
"After we get the sledge ready, we'll buy some food. We don't need to buy too much. Mom and the others should still be in Qinzhou now. I've asked before. It's only two or three days' journey from here to Qinzhou."
Just buy enough to eat.
After Lin Jiao finished speaking, she looked at Pei Yuan beside her.
"Those who are chasing you, if one of them escapes, he won't chase you again, right?"
"Probably not."
Pei Yuan explained, "I heard them say at the time that they couldn't do anything after crossing the river. We should be safe now, don't worry."
"That's good."
Lin Jiao nodded, but she didn't really feel relieved because of this. It was good to be more vigilant in everything, especially at this time.
After coming out of the inn, Lin Jiao saw that the county town of Wei County was full of refugees who had fled.
Because she was working as a steward that night, the carriage arrived early, so she could still find the inn. However, these people who came later arrived late and the inn was already full.
Some people simply spend more money and live in other people's homes.
But those who don’t have money can only find a place with leeward wind to hide for the night.
There was heavy snow and strong wind last night. Many refugees froze to death in the county town. The county government officer is organizing people to transport all these corpses out of the city.
Lin Jiao couldn't bear to look away as she looked at the frozen people who were thrown onto the sledge and pulled away like animals.
This is the true cruelty of this world.
If she didn't have this skill and space, she might have died on the road long ago.
"If you're afraid, just lean behind me."
When Lin Jiao looked away, Pei Yuan thought she was scared after seeing so many dead people.
Pei Yuan didn't feel anything, because he had seen more dead people on the battlefield than these, and he had already become numb.
"I'm not afraid, I just feel..."
"They are pitiful, aren't they?"
As the dog pulled the sledge, Pei Yuan looked at Lin Jiao and said in a soft voice: "There will be more and more things like this on the road in the future."
What's the use of being pitiful?
Pity is the most useless thing.
"We can't change anything now, but Jiaojiao, believe me, it won't always be like this."
Pei Yuan said seriously.
One day, people all over the world will no longer be displaced, no longer fleeing, no one will freeze to death and starve to death, and they will all be able to live a peaceful and smooth life.
"I believe."
Lin Jiao nodded seriously.
These people fleeing now are just the beginning. In the future, wars will continue and natural disasters will continue, which will make it more difficult for the people. It was not until Pei Yuan became emperor that everything calmed down.
I have to say that Pei Yuan in the book is really a good emperor. He really cares about these people, changed everything, and gave them a healthy, prosperous and stable life.
They first went to the stable and picked a horse. Then Pei Yuan added half a tael of silver and asked the boss to give them a brand new sledge, and then gave them a thick meadow for free.
This way you don’t have to buy a sledge separately.
Although Lin Jiao made a lot of dead money along the way, she was frugal and adhered to the principle of never spending a penny more if she could save a penny. She saved nearly a tael of silver and was still very happy.
After buying the sledge, Pei Yuan asked Lin Jiao to buy food first and then he would send the sledge back to the inn.
Lin Jiao agreed without much thought. As Pei Yuan was away, she could take out some oranges from the space and eat them on the way.
When it's cold, oranges won't go bad.
Lin Jiao drove her horse, found a deserted place, and took out a bag of oranges.
After putting the oranges on the sledge, Lin Jiao had just driven her horse not far away when a man swooped over and fell on her sledge.
"Brother, are you going to touch porcelain?"
Lin Jiao raised her eyebrows and asked as she looked at the man lying on the sledge, staring at her with big eyes.
Oh, no, this is a girl.
Because she has no Adam's apple and has red lips and white teeth, she looks like a girl at first glance.
Who knew that the other party suddenly got up, grabbed her arm and cried in fear: "Brother, please help me, I have money, I have a lot of money, as long as you save me, I can give you money."
Behind them, several ferocious servants were chasing after her. Lin Jiao glanced at her, and with a crack of the whip in her hand, she hit the horse on the buttocks, causing the horse to run away in pain.
Fortunately, there is no one here, otherwise Lin Jiao would not dare to let the horse run so fast. What if it hits someone?
After getting rid of those people, Lin Jiao stopped her horse and looked at the frightened girl again who had turned pale and had not recovered yet.
"According to what you said, I saved you, please give me the money!"
She held out her hand to the girl.
Lin Jiao just wanted to tease the other person and distract him from his mood, so that he wouldn't be so scared.
Who knew that the other party actually took out a bunch of banknotes and stuffed them into his hand.
Worried that the banknotes were not enough, she took out a gold hairpin from her arms and gave it to Lin Jiao, "Brother, please take me away from Wei County. Sooner or later, those people will find me and take me back if I stay here."
"Why did those people arrest you?"
Lin Jiao asked. After a visual inspection of the banknotes in her hand, she found that there were nearly one thousand taels.
Moreover, the gold hairpin is very heavy and the workmanship is very exquisite. There is also a ruby on it, so it is worth a lot at first glance.
"I...I'm from Liangzhou."
While the girl was crying and telling Lin Jiao about her experience, she pulled off the hosta on her head, revealing her identity as a woman.
The girl's name is Lin Pingping, the third daughter of the richest family in Liangzhou. A few months ago she met a very talented and good-looking man, and she fell in love with him at first sight.
The two only met five or six times before Lin Pingping decided to marry her, but her father had already arranged a marriage for her.
Lin Pingping was unwilling and eloped with the man. The man took her away from Liangzhou and ran all the way to Wei County. Only then did she find out that the man was Zhang Boli, the eldest son of the Zhang family in Wei County, and that he had already married a wife.
