Chapter 3: into town
Chapter 3 Into the City
Bai Wutong came out of the pawnshop, quickly dodged into an alley, put the silver and gold hairpins into the space, and took out the cosmetics in the bag, but after a while, the extremely ugly woman disappeared, replaced by a young ordinary girl.
The shopkeeper struggled to get up from the ground, immediately covered his bleeding neck with a handkerchief, and shouted at the yamen on the street: "There is an ugly woman who is blind with her left eye and robbed our store for a hundred and fifty taels. Silver and a gold hairpin, you immediately send someone to catch her back!"
"Yes!" The yamen even respectfully said to a pawnshop shopkeeper.
Bai Wutong saw it from the dark, shook his head secretly, the snakes and mice nested, and the roots of the Yan Kingdom were completely broken.
Bai Wutong walked into an inn and asked Xiao Er, "Is there any room?"
Xiaoer said indifferently: "Shangfang, a little room, and all the shops are still there, where does the guest officer want to live?"
Bai Wutong said: "I want a room to go to."
Little Er gave her a few glances, "Five taels of silver a night in the room."
Bai Wutong nodded: "I'm going to go to the room."
Xiaoer immediately smiled and said, "The guest officer is here, please register, and you can check in."
Bai Wutong thought that he would be able to move in if he paid to register his name, but who knew that he would need a household registration.
Xiao Er saw her hesitation, and deliberately said: "Now the army is in chaos, the guest officer has no household registration, and he can't stay anywhere. It is best for the guest officer to apply for the household registration."
Bai Wutong thought for a moment, then took out a tael of silver and stuffed it into the small second-hand, "Where can I renew the household registration?"
Those who re-apply household registration can definitely create fake household registration.
Xiao Er is obviously very skilled in this business.
Sure enough, Xiao Er received the silver and smiled like a flower, and said happily, "Wait a minute, guest, I'll take you there right away. It's just that it's not easy to renew the household registration, so it may take a little more effort."
Bai Wutong knew it, and took out a tael of silver, "Then please pay more attention."
After receiving another tael of silver, Xiao Er's face was full of smiles. He brought Bai Wutong to the yamen, and murmured with the yamen who knew him well. After spending 20 taels of silver, he could just give it to her in Yan Kingdom. A certain village has a household registration.
Holding the freshly released household registration, Bai Wutong breathed a sigh of relief, she is also a person of status in this world.
There is a long queue in front of the rice grain store, and the food is still expensive.
One tael of silver can only buy ten kilograms of polished rice. Converting the price, it is equivalent to two thousand yuan can only buy ten kilograms of high-quality rice.
Even if brown rice is cheaper, you can only buy 100 catties for a tael of silver, which is twice as expensive.
Now that the famine is severe, the food will only become more and more expensive, and the refugees can do anything for a bite on the road.
Everyone is not stupid, buy as many as you can.
With money in hand, Bai Wutong did not feel wronged, and asked for 100 pounds of polished rice, 300 pounds of brown rice, 10 pounds of white sugar, 10 pounds of salt, 50 pounds of oil, and 10 pounds of soy sauce. silver.
Afraid of causing suspicion, Bai Wutong directly lied that he was the maid purchased by the host's family, and paid money to have them deliver the things directly to the inn.
100 catties of rice can eat her for 300 days, and now she has 400 catties, which is definitely enough for her to find a stable place to settle down.
In addition to food, Bai Wutong still lacks a lot of things, so I went to the fabric store to buy some ready-to-wear clothes, and bought a few durable fabrics.
The weather is hot now, and by the time of Lingguo, it is estimated that it will be winter.
Bai Wutong took advantage of the cheap cotton clothes and bought several sets of cotton clothes.
Although there are very warm cotton coats in her RV space, it is absolutely inappropriate to wear them in this world, and it is easy to attract the attention of others.
As long as it is for daily use, it is not suitable for her to take out the space in her RV. Bai Wutong has bought all of them.
went out carrying something, and after a while, she entered a pharmacy empty-handed.
The experience of life in the last days told her that food, medicine, and weapons are the three elements for survival.
Especially after the famine, it is easy to produce diseases.
The medicine in her RV space is strong, but not much.
When the end of the world comes, the pharmaceutical factories have already stopped production.
The pharmacy was overcrowded, and Bai Wutong waited in line for a while before reaching himself.
She knows many formulas for daily minor ailments, which are more economical and effective than the formula prescribed by the doctor.
He directly asked the medicine boy to take a lot of medicinal materials for treating colds, fever, diarrhea, headache, pain relief, and preventing plagues, as well as a few bottles of good gold sore medicine and hemostatic medicine.
So many herbs cost her fifty taels.
The doctor frowned when she saw that she had bought so many kinds of medicinal materials, "You don't see a doctor?"
Bai Wutong thought of the bag on the back of his head and said, "I hit my head, and I can't remember something."
The doctor gave her a pulse, and he was talking about it for a long time, just wanting to prescribe expensive medicinal materials for her.
Bai Wutong was a little disappointed and waved his hand: "I'm taking medicine for the master's family."
The enthusiasm of the doctor disappeared immediately, and he didn't even bother to give her a look.
When I came out of the pharmacy, the sky was already red.
Bai Wutong wanted to take a ride with the **** bureau.
came to the **** all the way through inquiries, and explained the purpose to the escort, but the **** waved his hand directly: "Go, go, go."
It stands to reason that now is a good time for the dart board to make money. They don't want to play darts, so there must be a big problem.
Bai Wutong took out a five-tael silver ingot and put it in the guard's arms, the guard frowned, just about to refuse.
Bai Wutong said: "Brother, I'm going on the road alone. I'm really scared. I just want to know some things. If the road ahead is too difficult, I won't go to my family."
The escort's expression softened a little, and he put the silver ingot in his arms, "Ask."
White Indus got some more situations.
The distance to reach Lingguo has to pass through Beiyun City, Jiangyuan City, and Fengming City.
In these three cities, not only robbers and bandits are rampant, but the refugees in groups are even more vicious. Even if the goods of the **** bureau survived from the robbers and bandits, they cannot resist the wave after wave of desperate refugees.
Moreover, the closer you get to the Ling Kingdom, the more sensitive the government will be. If the refugees do anything wrong, they will be hacked to death as spies of the enemy country.
Lin'an City is probably the last city to enter.
The **** accepted the money and persuaded her: "You are alone, you better think about it, stay in Lin'an City."
Bai Wutong nodded, "Thank you big brother, I understand."
It won't take long for Lin'an City to become chaotic. If there is no free ride from the **** bureau, it is necessary to hit the road as soon as possible.
Bai Wutong returned to the inn, packed all the food delivered to the room into the space, and decided to leave early tomorrow.
After washing with water, turn off the lights and rest on the bed.
When his consciousness was hazy, he heard a slight noise from the door.
Bai Wutong woke up suddenly, hid in the corner of the bed, and clenched the axe in his hand.
The door lock was pried off, and two men in black crept in.
Holding two large swords with cold light in their hands, they went straight to the head of the bed and slashed **** the soft quilt.
In a moment of astonishment, Bai Wutong appeared from behind, and with one blow, two blows, they both fell to the ground at the same time, their eyes still staring in horror.
did not seem to have expected such an outcome.
Bai Wutong doesn't want to kill anyone, but if others want her life, they will never be soft-hearted.
She tore off the face towels of two of them, and it turned out that it was the shop assistant and the yamen who helped her with the household registration.
