hidden old spring

Chapter 17

The donkey followed Xiao Huang and ran for most of the night.

The little donkey is strong and can run fast and has good physical strength, but Xiao Huang is not.

Although Xiao Huang is a wild dog, the endurance of a dog cannot be compared with that of a donkey, especially Xiao Huang is still very thin, and his endurance is even worse.

Fortunately, after getting rid of Boss Su, Su Changan was no longer in a hurry. At the same time, her own condition was not very good. After she relaxed, her weakness came back, her head felt dizzy, and she couldn't help but feel like vomiting.

Fortunately, after drinking a bowl of concoction produced by the system, this adverse reaction was somewhat relieved, and the system was also worried.

[Host, if you look like this, you will have to drink at least 21 more bowls of medicine⊙︿⊙]

Su Changan lay paralyzed on the donkey's back, feeling miserable and doubting his life. He saw the words that came out of the system but didn't react at all.

At dawn, the donkey walked onto the main road under the leadership of Xiao Huang. It was still early and she was the only one on this road.

The cold wind made her feel a bit cold, but fortunately she tied up a felt blanket to wrap herself up to keep warm and resist the wind.

This is Anping County. As soon as Su Changan rode his donkey to the city gate, the city gate opened.

The soldier who opened the city gate breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his waist. He saw a little girl riding a particularly tall and strong donkey with a dog beside her. He immediately raised his lips and smiled.

"Hey, where did you come from?"

The soldier walked out of the city gate and got closer to Su Changan, then looked Su Changan up and down, and then his expression darkened.

"Little guy, you didn't steal this donkey."

The clothes Su Changan was wearing seemed to be made of silk cloth (actually fine cotton), and the donkey underneath him seemed to have been well-raised, but Su Changan did not look like the daughter of a good family.

Su Changan is only ten years old now. He looks like a child of five or six years old. Not only is he thin and dark-skinned, but his hair is also sparse and yellowish. Especially his hands are covered with calluses and frostbite cracks. At first glance, he looks like a farmer who ran away from home. children.

Therefore, it is normal for the soldier to have such suspicion, and Su Changan was also confused by the other party's questions.

This... how to explain this?

Su Changan looked so suspicious that the soldier was about to reach out to catch her, but the donkey moved and escaped.

"Huh?!" The soldier was stunned, and subconsciously took two more steps forward. He stretched out his hand to grab it again, but the donkey dodged again.

The soldier didn't believe in evil and came over to catch him. However, the donkey stepped on its front hooves twice and spurted white air from its nostrils. It stared straight at the soldier with a pair of big furry eyes, looking like you're going to do it again. Come here, I'm going to kick you!
Instead of being angry at being treated like this, the soldier laughed.

"This donkey is a good beast, little girl. Did you raise this donkey or did you steal it?"

The movement here attracted other soldiers guarding the city gate. They had no ill intentions, but were just curious about this particularly impressive donkey.

Su Changan calmed down, thought for a while and then said half truth and half lie.

"Me, I was teased by my family at home, and then I met a kind person. The kind person gave me a donkey and these dolls, and told me to come to the county to escape."

As she spoke, Su Changan showed the soldier guarding the city gate the felt doll in her arms. This thing was novel and at first glance it was for children to play with. The soldier who was nearby reached out and took the doll and played with it for a while. I don’t know if I believe this, but he did get out of the way.

This means letting her into the city.

Su Changan breathed a sigh of relief, and the other soldiers who came over spoke at this time.

"Little girl, do you want to buy your doll?"

"purchase!"

Although this business came suddenly, Su Changan still nodded instinctively.

She is now penniless and in desperate need of making money.

There are ten dolls in total, and each doll earns ten cents, which is 100 cents.A kind-hearted middle-aged soldier gave her a rope, and the copper coins with the outer circle and the inner square were strung into a string. Su Changan stuffed the string of copper coins into his arms, and then waved goodbye to the soldiers.

When Su Changan's donkey walked away, the expressions of the soldiers who were still laughing and gathering suddenly changed. The soldier who got the felt doll first said to his brothers in a deep voice.

"This matter needs to be reported to the police. There are barbarians coming to our city."

They don't have such things as felts here, they are only available among the barbarians.

"What to do with that child?..." Someone asked Su Changan, and the person came back directly.

"First let someone keep a close eye on her." As for whether she is a spy from the Hu people, it depends on what she will do next.

Su Changan didn't know that he was being suspected of being a spy as soon as he entered the city.

She walked on the relatively empty street and couldn't stop looking around.

This place... is so broken.

After looking at Su Changan for a while, she stopped looking. She lay on the donkey's body, thought for a while, and began to discuss with the system in a low voice.

"System, what do you think I should do better?"

[The host can do whatever he wants! (〃'▽'〃)】

Su Changan thought for a while and began to tell the system about her plan.

"Let's make some food. We are so poor here. We might not be able to eat wild vegetables three times a day like the Su family. If we make some food, as long as we sell it cheaper, there will definitely be business."

[The host is wise!ヾ(▽)ノ】

Su Changan pursed his lips and smiled.

It was a good idea, but she was stuck at the beginning.

She has no start-up capital!
The system can give her any supplies, but it cannot give her money, so she still needs to earn the start-up funds herself.

In fact, it is easy to get money. More than one person has asked about her donkey.

The mission rewards given by the system are really cool. Not only is this donkey 'newer' than other donkeys, it is also taller and stronger than other donkeys. Everyone who sees it can't help but want to come over and touch it, or ask for a price. What.

At first, Su Changan was frightened by the enthusiasm of so many people, and then he became unhappy.

The donkey carried her away from that nightmare place, and she didn't want to sell it.

So no matter who asked her, she refused. With Xiao Huang and Donkey beside her, and a bunch of copper coins in her arms, Su Changan sat on the steps at the corner of the street, feeling a little sad.

If I had known better, I would have brought out the big iron pot.

The large iron pan that the system showed was cheap and non-stick. Just before, she asked about the iron pans used by street vendors and found that it cost at least three taels to take a bite of the large iron pan that was not very well made. silver.

Su Changan was instantly discouraged.

Not to mention three taels of silver, she didn't even have three hundred coins.

What can I do now?
Su Changan was a little worried. After hesitating again and again, she quietly asked the system again.

"Tong, can't you really withdraw money?"

[(╯﹏╰) No, host, I'm sorry, the system is useless...】

　Thank you all for your support, I will update more tomorrow
