Chapter 126: On the Road to Exile 2
This woven straw hat is woven by men and sewed by women with needle and thread.
After working for more than an hour, Task 4 and Task 5 were completed.
They also wove four more straw hats.
Yun Chu put these four straw hats into the space.
Then they fell asleep next to each other.
The next day, the Li family set off wearing straw hats.
By noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight was shining on our bodies.
The Li family was very relaxed because they had a full meal in the morning and now they had straw hats and straw sandals on their feet, so they were not feeling too tired.
Ma Wen looked at the prisoners and noticed the Li family. "Wow, this Li family is quite capable. They even made straw hats and straw sandals."
Deng Zhi: "They are not officials, how can they know these folk things?"
Ma Wen: "People who read books probably read a lot and learn from them."
Ma Wen looked at Sun Lei and said, "Boss, shall we go get the straw hat?"
"Pay the money and let the Li family weave it." Sun Lei said expressionlessly: "Those we escorted are all implicated. Who knows if the emperor will remember them one day, and they can still return to the capital."
"There's no need to offend people just for a straw hat."
"The boss is right." Ma Wen nodded, then rode his horse slowly until he was parallel to the Li family.
Ma Wen said, "Minister Li, how much is your straw hat? We officials need it too."
"Sir, I am no longer the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I am not worthy of the title of Minister. Just call me old gentleman." Li Pinghui said slowly, "A straw hat costs two cents."
"Okay." Ma Wen counted out twenty coins and gave them to Li Pinghui.
Li Pinghui gave the money to Yun Chu and asked her to put the money into the space so that it would not be lost.
During the lunch break, the men of the Li family went looking for rush.
Of course Yun Chu went along as well, so that he could put the rush into the space.
Task 3 is to identify wild vegetables, and there are still two more wild vegetables to be completed.
I was lucky today and found two wild vegetables that I had never seen before.
Task 3 is completed, and now there are 95 points left.
Task 3 was completed and Yun Chu received a new task.
[Task 6: Identify 100 kinds of medicinal herbs. Completing the task will earn you 200 points.]
This task was not difficult for Yun Chu, because she had seen the herbal catalog of the mortal world when she was in the world of cultivation.
Moreover, she also planted a lot of herbs in her space.
When the time comes, just exploit the bug and use the herbs in the space to complete the task.
When they were about to reach the resting place, Yun Chu took out the rush, and they carried the rush back to the resting place.
After that, they quickly ate some cakes made of wild vegetables, and then they began to weave rushes.
When it was time to rest at night, they finished weaving the straw hats, and Li Zhongpei delivered them to the officials.
What Li Zhongpei didn't expect was that there would be unexpected gains.
That is, they may have to pass through Nanfeng City tomorrow, and when the officials go to buy things, they can spend one or two taels of silver and follow the officials to Nanfeng City.
Li Zhongpei went back immediately, asked Yun Chu for one or two taels of silver, and then gave the silver to the official.
The next day, the prisoners rested three kilometers away from Nanfeng City.
Ma Wen said, "I am going to Nanfeng City to do some shopping. If you need to buy something, you can give me money and I will bring it back to you."
"If you want to go shopping in person, it's three taels of silver per person. You can only bring five people, first come first served."
Other families immediately went to find Marvin to buy a spot.
Soon the spots were sold out, and when everyone gathered, six officers led their men to Nanfeng City.
The one who went to the Li family was Li Zhongpei. He was the best martial artist in the Li family and had great strength, so he could carry a lot of things.
All the things the Li family wanted to buy included rain cloth, in case it rained later.
Things like rain cloths are also available in the system mall, but there are so many people here and the sudden appearance of such a large object would easily arouse suspicion.
Small items like needles and thread would not be suspected.
Yun Chu wanted to go by herself, but she was just a child and others would think it was strange if she went.
There are also carts that can tow some things.
Three quarters of an hour later, the officials arrived at Nanfeng City.
As for the five prisoners, after arriving at Nanfeng City, Marvin gave them half an hour to shop. Those who did not return to the East City Gate after half an hour would be treated as fugitives.
Li Zhongpei gave a penny and asked an old lady where to buy carts, rain cloths and other things.
The aunt, who had received a penny, told Li Zhongpei the location with a smile on her face and also told him which store offered better value.
After knowing the location, Li Zhongpei went straight to the destination, bought a cart first, and then bought a rain sheet, cloth and other items.
It took Li Zhongpei three quarters of an hour to return to the East Gate.
All the things he bought were covered under the tarpaulin, so no one else could see what was underneath.
The five prisoners returned to the East City Gate on time, and the officers also bought a lot of items, and then they went back.
After gathering, continue on your journey.
The sun had set, but the officers did not stop because there was moonlight, and they moved forward slowly.
They didn't stop to rest until the end of the Xu hour.
After the Li family found a location, some collected firewood and some looked for stones.
Soon the fire was lit and the pot began to cook.
Today, Li Zhongpei went to buy ten water bags. As for the water, it was given to him by the owner who sold the water bags, and he did not charge for it.
So they have no shortage of water to cook food now.
As for rice and grain, he also bought some. Yun Chu originally wanted to use points to buy it, but his grandfather and the others felt that the points could be used to buy more important and useful things in the future and should not be wasted.
After eating, Yun Chu took out the herbs planted in the space and started to complete the tasks.
In less than a cup of tea, Yun Chu completed Task 6.
[Task 7: Learn to hunt. Successfully hunt an animal to get 50 points.]
This task system is intended to help her learn everything.
Yun Chu yawned and then lay down to sleep.
At one o'clock in the morning, it started to rain.
The Li family quickly put up the tarpaulin and they all hid under it.
Those who don’t have rain covers can only seek shelter under dense tree canopies.
The Li family members rested back to back, and the children leaned on the adults and fell asleep.
After dawn, the rain had not stopped, but it was not heavy.
The officers ordered them to set off immediately.
The rain stopped at noon, and there was no place to rest because the ground was muddy due to the rain.
It was impossible to rest in the woods because the weeds were covered with rainwater.
The Li family ate the bread directly with cold water. When they were half full, they found a place to squat and rest for a while.
When they had rested enough, the officers shouted to set off.
Two months later, they arrived at their place of exile, Anyi City. The Li family spent ten taels of silver and were allocated Shuiquan Village.
Shuiquan Village is only three quarters of an hour away from Shuiquan Town and about five quarters of an hour away from Tianhe County. The village is relatively wealthy.
After obtaining the new household registration, the Li family was sent to Shuiquan Village by the yamen runners of Tianhe County.
It was handed over to Du Fuyuan, the village chief of Shuiquan Village.
Du Fuyuan is forty-five years old and has been the village chief of Shuiquan Village for ten years.
He is very prestigious in Shuiquan Village.
The Li family spent five taels of silver to buy a piece of land, and then asked the villagers to build a mud house.
