Chapter 578: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (182)
The house was small, but it was a bit warmer than outside.
As Xiao Tang dawdled into the house, a long towel was thrown at her.
"Dry your hair before you come in!"
"oh oh……"
Xiao Tang slowly picked up the long towel.
Although she couldn't feel the cold, her body seemed frozen, and her movements became much slower.
Xiao Tang stood at the door, drying her hair for a long time. It was only after a long time that the ice on her hair finally disappeared.
Jiang Yingchu looked at Xiao Tang impatiently.
"Close the door!"
Xiao Tang carefully folded the long towel before going inside and closing the door.
Jiang Yingchu tapped on the table.
How much silver do you have left?
Xiao Tang thought for a moment and held up five fingers.
"Fifty taels?"
Xiao Tang shook her head.
"...Five taels?"
Xiao Tang shook her head again.
Jiang Yingchu's face darkened: "You can't possibly only have five coins left, can you?"
Xiao Tang shook her head.
That's not quite right; she's been doing odd jobs for quite some time now.
Xiao Tang carefully took out five strings of cash from her clothes.
This money could support the prostitute for two months.
Jiang Yingchu looked disgusted: "Is that all?"
Xiao Tang withdrew her hand.
Five strings of cash is a lot of money.
Jiang Yingchu frowned: "Fine, this is fine, this is fine."
She held out her hand: "Give me the money, and we'll go to Qingyang City first thing tomorrow morning."
Xiao Tang was puzzled.
Qingyang City?
Isn't it just a small town at the foot of Lingyun Sword Sect Mountain?
The old doctor used to live there, but then the clinic suddenly caught fire...
Jiang Yingchu said impatiently, "Give me the money."
"..."
Xiao Tang silently placed the five strings of cash into Jiang Yingchu's palm.
She goes wherever the young lady goes.
Day two.
Jiang Yingchu took Xiaotang to the ferry and chartered a small boat.
She glanced at Xiao Tang, who was sitting opposite her, looking dejected as she held a small package, and said sharply, "A pile of junk, what's the point of collecting it?"
Jiang Yingchu was about to leave early in the morning, but Xiaotang wanted to pack her luggage, but Jiang Yingchu stopped her.
She didn't think there was anything worth taking from this dilapidated courtyard.
Xiao Tang squeezed the package.
If you're not bringing your luggage, you can leave it there.
However, the young lady spent two thousand coins to charter the boat!
That's a whole two strings of cash!!
Xiaotang: "..."
Even though she was unconscious, she still felt a great pang of heartache.
Why charter a boat at all? Why not just squeeze in with other people?
Perhaps it was because Xiaotang's eyes were too melancholy.
Jiang Yingchu felt a rare sense of unease. She sat upright in the boat, her back straight, as if she were still the young lady she used to be.
"The boat is too small, I'm not used to squeezing in with other people."
She was used to a life of luxury and had never even ridden in such a small boat before. To have to share a boat with someone else was worse than death for her.
"..."
Xiao Tang's eyes became even more resentful.
Jiang Yingchu gritted her teeth: "How can you be so spineless? It's just two strings of cash! I'll pay you back when we get to Qingyang City!"
"..."
Xiao Tang opened her eyes wide.
Where did the young lady get the money?
Not to mention that Jinghong Manor is gone, the young lady was imprisoned for three years, and when she came out, she left with nothing, practically penniless.
Luckily, she stole the leader's carriage back then, otherwise she would have raised the young lady to death long ago.
Xiao Tang asked with difficulty, "Where...is the money?"
Jiang Yingchu, however, adopted a haughty demeanor, looking out at the water lying on its surface, as if she couldn't be bothered to talk to Xiao Tang.
"..."
Xiao Tang, on the other hand, said a lot, but it was all in a lisp, and she was gesturing wildly with her hands, so no one could understand her.
"Don't go..."
"That place isn't very good..."
"Turn around..."
"You need to save your money..."
Jiang Yingchu, unable to bear it any longer, exclaimed, "It's so noisy!"
Xiao Tang fell silent.
