System: The Path of a Mortal Being Stronger Through Being a Mother

After Xu Qingsong ate it...he no longer cared to talk about it.

After all, it was a dish worth one tael of silver and it tasted so good that the two of them finished it all.

Xu Qingsong's face turned red.

Although he felt a little embarrassed today and ate without raising his head or opening his eyes, the food was really delicious.

Lin Miao was very satisfied with her meal today. This is how people should live.

They found a clean inn and shared a room with each other. Lin Miao paid a total of 200 coins first, saying they would stay for one night and leave the next day.

Then Lin Miao gave 240 coins to Xu Qingsong and said, "Auntie is going to do some shopping tomorrow and will go to the nearby mountains. She won't be back for a while. This 40 coins will buy you breakfast. You don't have to wait for me. Please tell Wang Sen not to worry when you return to the village."

Xu Qingsong agreed, thinking that he could go back tomorrow and pick up a few passengers to go back to town, which would be another source of income.

Lin Miao put all the silver into the space, leaving only a few dozen copper coins and some change outside.

Lin Miao slept until she woke up naturally and found out that Xu Qingsong was gone.

It was getting late, so I had breakfast at a small shop outside and bought some steamed buns and biscuits, which I packed and stuffed into my bag.

She went to two pharmacies and a clinic in the county town, pretended to want to buy some, and inquired about the price of wild ginseng.

There is not much good wild ginseng in the county. Even the lowest-grade ginseng that is about ten years old weighs only a few grams, but it costs dozens or hundreds of taels.

I have a good idea.

She asked for help from a carriage company, but it was not close to the city and it would take two days by carriage.

There is a caravan going to the provincial capital tomorrow. There are many people and the vehicles are relatively good, so I discussed with the team leader and wanted to take a ride.

The team leader looked at her credentials and agreed because he thought the money Lin Miao gave was enough.

……

Lin Miao paid four taels of silver. Although it was a bit painful, he could eat and drink with the caravan along the way, which saved him from suffering.

The caravan was mainly used to transport goods, and the distance from the county to the provincial capital Xixian was about 600 miles.

There are many mountains on the road, especially in the mountains about 150 miles away from the city. There is a group of bandits who have been entrenched there for many years and often rob passers-by.

In addition to their own men, these merchants also hired guards.

Lin Miao stayed in the inn for another night, and the next day she safely got on the bus to the provincial capital.

At noon, the caravan members cooked some soup for us to eat with some dry biscuits and then we had to continue on our journey. At night, we booked an inn and slept in a large dormitory.

Lin Miao spent another 150 coins and asked for a room.

The journey was relatively peaceful, but at noon the next day, when they were having lunch, a group of bandits suddenly appeared.

There were still quite a few bandits. They came out without any slogans and just rushed up.

At this time, the guards of the caravan quickly protected everyone in the middle.

After a few close combats, several of the bandits were soon injured.

There were many guards in the caravan, and the bandits saw that the guards were brave and they could not gain any advantage. So when a big man whistled, they fled into the mountains with the wounded.

Lin Miao looked at the group of bandits with flickering eyes.

At this time, it was still more than 100 miles away from the city.

I heard from the caravan that these bandits have been entrenched for many years and the government has not been able to wipe them out.

Several of the guards were slightly wounded, and one horse in particular was so badly injured that it had to be killed on the spot.

The guards did not feel sorry for their own injuries, but felt sorry for the horse.

The loss is a bit big. A horse costs 3 or 40 taels of silver. This is an ordinary horse. If it is a high-quality horse, it may cost 100 taels of silver. It is not a legend to buy a BMW for thousands of gold.

Sometimes, human life is worth less than that of animals.

After hurrying all they could, they entered the city near evening.

Lin Miao paid his 5-cent entrance fee, said goodbye to the tour guide, and took a car to the door of an inn in the city.

This is an ordinary inn, but a room in the dormitory costs one tael of silver a day. An ordinary room costs a few hundred wen, a large dormitory costs dozens of wen, and even a dozen wen is available.

Lin Miao asked the waiter to bring one meat dish and one vegetable dish, plus a bowl of soup and a bowl of rice.

While eating, Lin Miao asked the waiter to tell her about the latest news in the city and to inquire about the medical clinics and drug stores.

After receiving the tip, the waiter became more attentive in his service and started telling stories about the city. He was a passionate young man, and Lin Miao got a rough idea from listening.

In the middle of the night, Lin Miao was sleeping soundly when she heard voices from next door.

One person said: "Brother, this city is more comfortable, with high beds and soft pillows. It can't be compared with our mountain."

Another person: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense. If you think this is good, come more often. Why are you talking so much? Aren't you just thinking about Xiao Tao in Chun Man Lou? You really like peaches, hahaha..."

Lin Miao: ...

"This voice, why is it so similar... No way, how can it be so bold?"
