Chapter 73 Introducing Her to Be a Maid
It was too late to cook it now, and there was a lot of food his sister gave him, so he took a piece of oil paper and wrapped some in it.
His sister also gave him a lot of beautiful and indestructible kettles, but he couldn't take them out, so he simply found a clay jar and filled it with water.
They were all placed on ox carts.
The cow, who had become as thin as a lightning bolt, finally had a full meal and was so excited that he almost shed tears.
The masters, big and small, finally remembered it.
Niu Niu felt so wronged that he couldn't speak out.
Shen Yuan drove a ox cart to the county town. Their Pingyang Town was in the southeast of Tongxu County, not far from the county town.
The reason why we went to the county town to look for broken porcelain pieces was because the two private kilns in the town had long since stopped production, so there were not so many broken porcelain pieces.
The official kiln in the county town has a large output, and I heard that a lot of scrapped porcelain pieces pile up like mountains every day.
Shen Yuan drove very fast. He left late today for fear that he would not be able to return at night.
The carriage swayed slowly towards the county town, but Shen Yuan had no idea how important this trip would be to him.
Su Wanwan had been running for three days but still hadn't reached Tongxu County.
After walking and stopping for the past three days, my feet no longer feel like my own feet, and my legs are about to break.
But she didn't dare stop, for fear that the mother and her two children would catch up with her.
After three days of not running away, she knew that the mother and son had deceived her.
They said it would take two days to get there, but she didn't stop. She only slept for four or five hours under the quilt at night, and spent the rest of the time on the road.
She took out a gray bed sheet from the space, tore half of it to make it look like a package, and carried two pieces of clothes and some snacks on her back to disguise herself as a refugee.
Naturally, I didn't take a shower these days.
Of course, she couldn't take a shower either. The rivers and streams on the road were not completely dry, but they were full of mud and could not be used as water.
She felt like she stunk all over and her hair was in clumps.
She didn't look in the mirror, but she knew that she was now a stinking beggar.
However, this is the only way she feels safer.
Fortunately, on the third day, she finally met other people.
These people came in groups, at least three people in a group, from another road.
And they didn't look much better than her. Just look at their lips, they were so cracked that they were about to bleed.
Fortunately, there was a lot of mineral water in her space, and she drank it secretly when no one was around, otherwise she would have died of thirst.
People passing by glanced at her, but just walked on with dull eyes.
Su Wanwan was glad that she had made herself look so terrible that she was not at all noticeable standing in the crowd.
With people around, her tense heart finally relaxed a little, and she immediately followed the crowd.
"Girl, where are you from? Why are you alone?"
A woman in her thirties or forties came over and asked her.
"I'm from Feng'an County."
Su Wanwan thought of the mother and her two sons. She seemed to have heard them say that they were from Feng'an County.
"Has Feng'an County also been hit by a disaster? Sigh, life here is really unbearable."
The woman looked shocked.
They came from farther north. Feng'an County is adjacent to Tongxu County, and they all came out to escape famine.
"Well, the wheat hasn't even sprouted yet, and my father asked me to come and live with my relatives."
Su Wanwan thought about the current season. She was born in the countryside, so she naturally knew that April and May were the time when ears of corn grew.
"Alas, after all this journey, I don't think Tongxu County is that good. I heard that a new county magistrate has come to Tongxu County. I hope he is a good one and can give us a meal."
The woman kept on chattering.
Su Wanwan responded in a nonsensical manner.
"It's better if you have relatives in Tongxu County. You can go there to seek refuge. But these girls behind me don't have any relatives. What can we do?"
The woman looked at Su Wanwan and continued to ask:
"Do your relatives live in the county town?"
Su Wanwan felt that this woman was a little strange. She looked easy-going, but she was always asking about her situation.
Her vigilance came back.
“It’s in the county town.”
Su Wanwan did not mention Daliushu Village.
She quickened her pace, not wanting to be close to the woman.
A trace of disappointment flashed across the woman's eyes, and she pulled the two girls behind her.
"Go faster."
The two girls followed immediately.
The woman seemed unwilling to give up and actually caught up with Su Wanwan.
"Girl, if you can't find any relatives, I can introduce you to a rich family as a maid. At least you can have enough food to eat, and you can redeem yourself after the disaster is over."
This time, I get straight to the point.
Su Wanwan's mouth twitched.
It turns out he is in the human trafficking business.
"That's fine, big sister. If I can't find my relatives, I'll look for you."
Su Wanwan was pretending to be nice.
The woman smiled immediately.
"Let me tell you, being a maid is not bad. You look pretty good. If a rich young master takes a fancy to you and gives you a favor, you will be his master and you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."
The woman continued to lobby.
Su Wanwan couldn't get rid of it, so she could only smile and say nothing.
The two girls behind him seemed to be envious after hearing this.
Seeing that she couldn't get rid of him, Su Wanwan simply twisted her legs and pretended to sprain them, then she let out a light cry and fell to the ground.
"My feet, my feet..."
Su Wanwan shouted, as if she couldn't even stand up.
The woman looked at her and didn't help her. She just took the two maids and continued on her way.
This place is very close to the county seat. If we walk faster, we can reach Tongxu County before dark.
If you arrive a little earlier, you can enter the city earlier, and maybe someone will give you porridge and you can have a bowl of it.
This girl has a limp and walks slowly, so she won't waste time.
There are many people who have the same idea as her. Many people have passed by along the way, but no one came to help Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan limped to her feet, jumped and sat aside, thinking that she would walk to the end after they passed by.
Let’s get rid of that woman first.
"Girl, are you okay? Can you hold on?"
At this time, another old woman came over.
Su Wanwan shook her head: "It's okay, I'll take a break."
Behind the old lady was a couple and a little boy.
He also stopped and sat down to rest.
"You sprained your ankle. I have some medicine here. Apply it first. Alas, we are almost at Tongxu County. If you can hold on, you should leave quickly."
The old woman looked at her daughter-in-law behind her.
The young woman immediately took out a bottle of medicine for bruises and injuries from her bag.
"Girl, my mother is right. You are alone in this desolate mountain and wilderness, and it is not safe."
After saying that, he opened the medicine bottle.
"Hurry up and wipe it off. If you can walk, keep walking. You will be safe when you reach the county town."
Su Wanwan felt a little embarrassed.
In ancient times, no matter what kind of medicine it was, it was a precious thing.
Looking at this family, they seem to be simple and honest. They even gave her such precious medicine.
She couldn't tell them she was fine.
I had no choice but to take it.
"thank you all."
Su Wanwan took a little medicine and rubbed it on her ankle and asked:
"Ma'am, you said we'd be there in the evening?"
This is the best news I've heard in days.
"Yes, I heard from them that if we can walk quickly, we can get there in the evening. I heard that there are people distributing porridge at the city gate."
Su Wanwan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Emma, we're almost there.
Thinking of the gold and silver in the space, she decided to find an inn to wash them properly when she arrived at the county town.
