Chapter 47 Leaving the City
“It’s so comfortable.”
Feng Jiuyou lay in the bathtub and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
The feeling of not taking a shower for three days was quite missed. Since she started wearing books, she had to wash almost every day.
The main purpose of Feng Jiuyou's visit to the city was to take a bath. Feng Chenyi was there to purchase supplies, so she didn't have to worry at all.
Anyway, she has already made an appointment with Third Brother and the others, and she will be waiting at this inn.
There was also a storyteller in this inn. Feng Jiuyou’s eyes flashed slightly and he found a seat by the window on the second floor to sit down.
I also want a pot of cold boiled water and a plate of melon seeds.
Feng Jiuyou was eating melon seeds leisurely and listened with interest to the storyteller telling the story of a rich girl falling in love with a poor scholar.
When it came to the wonderful part, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.
Little did they know that these stories were written by poor scholars.
Dayuan is facing internal and external troubles, and we don’t know how long this excitement can last.
Feng Jiuyou didn't wait long before Feng Chenyi and others walked into the inn carrying large and small bags.
“Little sister.” Feng Chenyi had sharp eyes. As soon as he walked into the inn, he saw Feng Jiuyou sitting on the second floor.
Feng Jiuyou nodded upon seeing this.
In the guest room.
"Third brother, nothing happened."
"No, it's very good, I have bought everything."
Feng Chenyi said with a smile.
It’s just that those things are ridiculously expensive, but fortunately they don’t have to buy food.
The area affected by this disaster was too large, and the north and south were affected by famine at the same time. The imperial court was now caught in the struggle for heirs, and no one went to rescue the disaster.
So the food in the city is ridiculously expensive.
The main reason why Feng Chenyi and the others went to the city was to buy some salt and some commonly used medicinal materials. Dayuan Kingdom has very strict control over salt, and it is difficult to buy large quantities of salt.
It was a two-month journey to the south, where the regent had jurisdiction. Most of them had to sleep in the open air while fleeing.
The temperature difference between day and night is large, so it is easy to catch wind and cold, although the village doctor found many herbal remedies for wind and cold along the way.
But there is always a shortage of one or two herbs that are difficult to grow here, so a lot of medicinal materials must be prepared in case of emergencies.
In addition to salt and medicinal materials, I also bought a lot of straw sandals. It is very expensive to travel long distances to escape. Straw shoes like this may become rotten after walking for a day.
While Feng Jiuyou was listening to the book, he also heard comments from people around him, saying that during this period, the city was not at peace either.
There are many refugees in the city now, and conflicts are prone to occur in places with a large number of people.
This is also the reason why the entrance fee to the city is so expensive. It can prevent most of the refugees from causing trouble in the city.
"When shall we leave the city."
"The city gate is about to close. Let's tidy up and leave immediately."
Feng Chenyi spoke immediately without thinking.
They can't afford to stay in an inn. They may have to do some packing when they go out. Money is needed everywhere.
"Okay."
Feng Jiuyou has no objection. Anyway, she has finished the most important thing in the city.
After burning the incense, Feng Jiuyou and his party left the city, and as expected they spent another sum of money.
Fortunately, we didn’t have time to go into the city, so we spent ten taels in total.
However, their large and small bags instantly became the targets of the victims outside the city. Many people looked at them eagerly, as if they were going to pounce on them and tear them apart in the next second.
Feng Chenyi and others protected Feng Jiuyou in the middle.
But what surprised Feng Jiuyou was that the fierce look in the eyes of the victims did not seem like they wanted to let them go.
However, they did not take action. This was wrong, very wrong.
