Ning Ning looked in the direction he indicated, and sure enough, she saw a simple bamboo sedan.

It's not the kind of sedan chair carried by eight people, nor is it the small wooden box that covers the person tightly as seen in TV dramas. It is similar to the bamboo sedan chair provided for tourists that can be seen in the mountains of Sichuan and Chongqing.

A chair is supported by two large bamboo sticks. It can accommodate one person and is carried by a bearer in front and behind.

Of course, this service is not only available in the mountains of Sichuan and Chongqing, but also in many scenic spots and historical sites, mainly serving wealthy tourists.

The charge is around 150~300.

I didn't expect that there was such a thing in ancient times.

Ning Ning was in high spirits and couldn't help asking, "How much does it cost to take me to Bazhou?"

"Not expensive, 50 cents is fine."

Ning Ning raised her eyebrows again. 50 cents was indeed ridiculously cheap.

She looked at the man calmly and saw that he was in tattered clothes, his shoulders were full of patches, and he had a skinny face but his body was full of tendons, which showed that he usually did a lot of hard labor such as lifting and moving.

The same was true for the other person squatting next to the sedan chair. He might be socially anxious, and when he noticed Ning staring at him, he just lowered his head embarrassedly, as if worried that his clumsiness would be disliked or would offend her.

Ning Ning looked back again and saw that the uncle in front of her also had a flattering and cautious look on his face, and it seemed that he had mustered up the courage to come forward and talk to her.

Thinking back to when he saw quite a few people strolling around in sedan chairs like this just now, he guessed that this was the equivalent of a means of transportation here. It was just that those who were sweet-talkers had attracted all the customers, but these two who were clumsy in talking were still picking their feet in the same place.

Looking at their clumsy behavior, Ning Ning seemed to see herself at a certain moment, and she felt one of the few sympathies she had.

"Okay, then take me around Bazhou. I'll be rewarded if I take you there."

The man was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, our sedan chair is very stable, don't worry."

So, Ning Ning got on the sedan chair in a leisurely manner, ran from the beginning of the street to the end of the street, strolled from the east of the city to the west of the city, strolled from the government office to the City God Temple in the suburbs...very leisurely.

Every time she arrived at a place, she would happily check in. It was a pity that she didn’t have a camera, otherwise she could have taken photos of her visit, which would have been very cool.

When she had almost finished the food in her hands, it was almost dusk. Unfortunately, after strolling around for a whole day, she learned a lot about the customs of Bazhou, but she didn't see Prince Ju.

There was no choice but to go to the last destination.

But before leaving, she still performed her best.

Ning Ning patted the sedan chair and said, "Well, take me to your most famous restaurant. Is it called Rain on Bananas?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Yuda Banana is the most famous restaurant in Bazhou. It has good wine, good food, and good tea. Of course, there is also a stage where you can watch performances. It is the most lively place in Bazhou."

"Then go there."

"Okay! Sit tight, girl!"

So the sedan bearer didn't feel tired at all and hurriedly took her to the Banana Tree in the Rain again.

After landing, Ning Ning directly threw him a silver ingot.

The sedan bearer was shocked when he saw the snow-white silver. He waved his hands in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, young lady. We don't have so much change."

You should know that in Daliang one tael of silver is equal to 1000 wen.

They only charge 50 wen, where can I find 950 wen to give her...

Ning Ning smiled and waved her hand: "No need to look for it. You have taken me for a walk all day today. You have worked hard. The extra money is my reward for you."

After saying that, she walked straight into the restaurant.

The sedan bearers were stunned by this sudden wealth.

I never expected that this lady not only had a good personality but was also so generous.

He actually gave a silver ingot!

They thanked her repeatedly with gratitude: "Girl, if you need a sedan chair tomorrow, just come to us. We won't charge you tomorrow!"

Ning Ning turned around and smiled when she heard this: "Then it's settled."

After saying this, he completely disappeared in the rain hitting the banana leaves.

This legendary scene of rain hitting banana leaves is indeed comparable to the one in Furong Garden in Beijing.

Not only is the decoration exceptionally grand and majestic, but there are also many things to do inside, including storytelling, a stage, and first-class dancers. As for the food, it is a little more down-to-earth than that of Furong Garden.

Furong Garden focuses on exquisite plating and health preservation, while Yuda Banana focuses on spicy food. The names of the dishes, such as pickled fish, boiled fish, pig's trotters in red oil, spicy rabbit head, and sesame oil roasted chicken, will make you want to leave.

Strictly speaking, the food here is more to Ning Ning's taste.

So Ning Ning ordered a bunch of dishes and enjoyed the meal very much.

I have to say that today’s experience was very good. The only pity was that I didn’t meet Prince Ju.

I guess this cunning old man is avoiding me on purpose.

This also makes it more certain that he should know the circumstances of his coming here.

But Ning Ning didn't care. She didn't expect him to come out right away anyway. If this guy was so easy to deal with, he wouldn't have made the two uncles in the capital so confused.

He wants to wait until he gets anxious and reveals his true colors, so just wait patiently.

Anyway, in terms of mentality, she thinks she has an okay mentality. As for Shang Wenqi, he is used to being a shadow guard and should be more comfortable with it.

In this way, Master Ning Ning also started his journey of traveling to Bazhou.

Her one or two taels of silver was probably the highest reward these two sedan chair bearers had ever received in their careers. After all, in the next few days, the sedan chair bearers did come to the door of the inn to wait for her as promised.

Whenever she went out, no matter where she went, they would dutifully send her off, and when she asked for money, they would refuse it.

Ning Ning didn't hesitate and just waited until the matter was over before giving them a full sum of money.

On the third day of strolling, Ning Ning finally came across the falcon she had bought.

The story begins when she went to burn incense early in the morning.

After all, today is the 15th, and the ancients used to go to the temple to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

The same is true for the people of Bazhou.

Ning Ning thought that it was better to do it today than to wait for another day, so she decided to go to the City God Temple to worship. Maybe she could even meet Prince Ju.

After all, the legendary Prince Ju hasn't shown up for three days, and there is a Lantern Festival in the evening, so he will definitely appear at the City God Temple to pray for the event.

Things turned out just as Ning Ning had expected. As soon as she arrived near the City God Temple, a huge monster swooped down from the sky.

It also stirred up a fishy wind, and a strong murderous aura rushed towards you.

At that time, the two sedan bearers did not abandon the sedan and run away. Their first reaction was to run back with the sedan.

But how can a human's speed match that of a falcon, not to mention that they are carrying a person.

Just when Ning Ning felt that the eagle's claws were about to catch her.

Suddenly, a low whistle was heard not far away.

This kind of whistle can usually only be heard by animals, and Ning Ning was able to distinguish it because she was familiar with it.
