Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

The sunset was redder than burning, and the clear sky was bluer than blue. A carriage slowly crossed the river bridge and stopped on the river bank.

It is said that the carriage actually lifts it, but it is just a piece of linen covered with four pillars, and a layer of cotton wool or something is spread on it. It is slightly better than the cart, but if it is said to be comfortable, it is not at all .

Two women in plain clothes and a boy in linen got out of the carriage. All three of them looked haggard, obviously they had been tortured by the carriage.

The carriage driver led the horses to the river to eat and drink water, leaving the three of them to rest where they were.

"Miss, this is really not something for people to sit on. The bones in my body are about to fall apart."

"Yes, miss, the slaves are fine, you..."

Before the two of them finished speaking, the man dressed as a man stopped them. Although he was a man, the voice that blurted out was that of a woman: "I'm fine. It's getting dark. Now we have to rush to the town." It’s important that you two take a break and eat something before you go on your way.”

These three people were none other than An Jinshu, Hongli, and Ali, who had set out from Kyoto half a month ago.

In order to make walking easier, An Jinshu pretended to be a man, otherwise the three women would easily cause unnecessary trouble when they were outside. There was one man who saved a lot of strange looks.

Although their bodies were sore, the three of them did not stay here longer. After drinking some water and eating some pancakes to satisfy their hunger, the three of them called the driver and started on their way in a hurry.

Finally, we arrived at the nearest town when it was completely dark.

After paying the coachman, the three of them walked into an inn.

They were strangers, so the store owner took a second look and said, "Three guests, it's best to stay in the hotel."

An Jinshu stepped forward and looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Stay in the hotel."

The shopkeeper smiled and raised his finger pen to draw a two: "Two hundred coins"

An Jinshu frowned and hesitated, but the red carp next to him made a slight sound of displeasure.

This is a small tacit understanding between the three of them, just to make the store misunderstand him and mistakenly think that he has no money, so he has to pretend to be fat for the sake of beauty.

In front of the store owner and the "beauty", An Jinshu dug hard into his pockets and rummaged through all the pockets before finally scraping out two hundred coins.

"This is two hundred cents, and I want a room."

When the store owner saw that it took so long to pay for the two hundred coins, and the three of them only wanted a room, he curled his lips in disdain. His attitude was not as warm as before, and he casually threw the key in front of the three of her: "It's the first room on the left on the second floor."

An Jinshu took the key and was about to leave, but the store owner added another sentence: "Our town is not peaceful these days. You three, please don't walk around at night. You will lose your money... and your life." Don’t blame me for not telling you.”

The store owner wanted to say that it was a small matter that the property was lost, but he immediately brushed off the words when he remembered the embarrassment of the three people paying for it just now. The three poor guys looked like they had no money.

Hongli felt uncomfortable seeing the store owner's scornful expression. However, now it was no better than before. One more thing was better than one less thing. He gritted his teeth angrily and finally endured the situation.

At this moment, three people came in at the door. As soon as these three people came in, they were greeted enthusiastically by the store owner.

An Jinshu glanced at the jade pendant hanging on the other party's waist and the brocade clothes he was wearing, then withdrew his gaze and led Hongli and Ah Li upstairs.

The voices of the three people came from behind.

"Store, give us three of the best rooms in your store."

The shopkeeper chuckled happily: "Okay, sir, please come this way, please come this way."

"Dog people look down on people." Red Carp cursed in a low voice with disdain.

An Jinshu smiled slightly: "Compared to them, we do seem shabby. No wonder others. Don't forget that we have now left the Protectorate. From now on, we are just three brothers and sisters who support each other. In everything, tolerance comes first."

Hong Li nodded: "I understand, miss."

Because he stayed in front of the store today and pretended to take out the only money he had, An Jinshu and the other two stayed in the house that night and did not go out to eat.

For the sake of safety, the three of them have been inseparable during this half-month trip. They eat, sleep and even go to the toilet together, just in case something happens.

The three of them rarely leave the house at night unless necessary, and today is no exception.

The three of them sat around the small wooden table, sipping hot tea and eating dry biscuits. An Jinshu divided a beef strip into three portions, which was considered a meat and vegetable combination.

"Miss, how long do we have until we get to the place you mentioned?"

In private, Hongli and Ah Li call her Miss An Jinshu, and in public they call her brother. At first, An Jinshu asked them to call her brother all the time, but they couldn't remember it in private. As time went by, An Jinshu Shu Bian also went with them.

Hong Li was chewing dry biscuits in his mouth, looking at the lines on the paper with the dim candlelight, but he couldn't understand them. He became more and more confused as he looked at them: "Why do you think we are going further and further away? This map says that we have to pass by a river. , but wherever there are rivers along the way, they are all rivers, ponds and streams."

An Jinshu took the map, looked at it, and then put it away: "We can't understand the map, so don't read it. How much money do we have left?"

Ah Li quickly whispered: "I haven't touched Miss."

The red carp took out his purse and poured it out, leaving only a few coppers.

An Jinshu knew her share well, so she asked Ah Li to take out her share and divide it equally.

Before departure, An Jinshu stored all his valuables in a safe place for safety, and brought some worthless clothes and jewelry in his package.

She brought two large amounts of silver with her and sewn them into her clothes with cloth so that they could not be found unless she touched them carefully.

The scraps of silver and small coins were divided into three parts using three purses, one for each person. Even if one person was stolen, the remaining two people could respond.

In addition to these, An Jinshu also has a wooden bracelet on her hand. At first glance, it looks like a worthless thing made of broken wood. In fact, it is filled with golden melon seeds. It is very heavy. It was a small bracelet made for her by her brother who stayed up late at night. thing.

Usually thieves only steal gold, silver and jewelry, and no one would steal a broken bracelet made of wood.

When we first set out, An Jinshu's wrists were sore and swollen for a while because of the heavy weight of melon seeds. Later, she gradually recovered with the help of Red Carp's daily massage.

They seemed extremely low-key along the way. The road out of Kyoto was relatively safe. Maybe no one would dare to make mistakes under the Emperor's feet, but An Jinshu knew that the further back they went, the more dangerous it would be, so silver taels could buy lives at critical moments. She needs to be more attentive.

Ah Li took out her purse and divided the money into three parts, one for each person.

"No one knows what the situation will be in the future. For the safety of the three of us, I decided to find an escort agency tomorrow. What do you two think?"

Hong Li and Ah Li looked at each other and nodded: "We all listen to Miss."
