Chapter 5 Du Orion

Lin Qiuyue echoed that if people here want to get ahead, studying and joining the army are indeed the only ways out.

The two of them arrived at the county seat while chatting.

After Lin Qiuyue paid the old man fifty coppers, he drove the ox cart slowly back to Ping'an Town.

It was already noon, and the people from the county government had already left the office. Lin Qiuyue found a noodle shop in the county town and had a bowl of noodles.

Then we waited at the yamen gate.

After noon, the people from the yamen began to take up their duties.

Lin Qiuyue understood this very well.

She found a yamen servant, explained her purpose, and gave him fifty coppers.

The yamen servant immediately took her to the main register. Lin Qiuyue took out her household registration. Before coming, she gently tore the household registration in half to make sure it couldn't be dropped.

The chief clerk took one look at the household registration, asked some irrelevant questions, and then changed her household registration.

"Thank you, sir. Please tell me, sir, there is a hill next to our Qingshan Village. It is a barren mountain. Can I buy it?"

Lin Qiuyue thought that now that she had her household registration, she also needed to have her own land so that she could stay in Qingshan Village.

The chief clerk took out a book and flipped through it. He looked at it and nodded and said, "Okay, that wasteland has a hundred acres and costs forty taels of silver. Do you have it, little girl?"

"Have."

Lin Qiuyue took out a handful of broken silver from her sleeves, actually from the space, and put it on the table. She counted it. If it was not enough, she took it out again, and when it was not enough, she took it out again. It took more than a dozen times to collect it and handed it to the chief bookkeeper.

The head clerk looked at Lin Qiuyue and thought that this girl really had so much money. He was surprised. After counting the money, he gave her the land deed and the household registration.

"Thank you, sir."

Lin Qiuyue took the household registration and land deed, thanked her, dug in her sleeves again, took out a couple of silver coins and placed them in front of the main register, then turned around and came out.

Seeing how sensible this girl was, the anchor thought to herself that she was really an interesting little girl, and he easily took the couple of pieces.

After Lin Qiuyue came out, she walked around the county town. It was almost dark before she found an inn to stay.

She didn't want to go back and bear Mrs. Liu's anger.

She is still young and is no match for their family.

I am going to rest in the county town for one night and then see what kind of business can be done in the county town. I can't just sit back and have nothing.

She also needs to save enough money to prepare for going to the capital in the future.

When my mother was around, she would cry secretly in the middle of the night because she was homesick.

She would go to the capital to help her mother find a home and see what kind of family drove her mother out.

If so...she will help her mother get revenge.

The shopkeeper saw that she was a little girl and took great care of her. He asked the waiter to fetch her water and bring her food.

Lin Qiuyue was very grateful for the shopkeeper's enthusiasm, but she had one reservation.

They say that being courteous for nothing is either a traitor or a thief. Who knows if the shopkeeper has bad intentions for her.

She was alone, and who knew if she was abducted.

Lin Qiuyue finished her meal, washed briefly, closed the door, and turned on the lamp to sleep.

She disguised herself on the bed, then slipped into the space.

Sure enough, in the dead of night, the window paper was quietly opened, revealing a bamboo tube, and a wisp of light smoke blew in.

Then, a masked man in black jumped in from the window, then walked directly to the bed and reached out to fish, but found nothing.

The man in black immediately lit the fire and searched around the room. He quickly left without finding anyone.

After leaving, the man in black went directly to the shopkeeper.

"You said there was no one in the house?"

The shopkeeper was very surprised. The girl was clearly in the room, so how could there be no one there?
Was she discovered and escaped?

The man in black nodded: "There is indeed no one, and there is no hiding place inside." The shopkeeper nodded, his eyes darkened: "Forget it, maybe the girl discovered our intention and escaped early."

The man in black left angrily. He had nothing to gain today.

Lin Qiuyue could see everything outside clearly in the space. Sure enough, the shopkeeper had evil intentions. Fortunately, she was careful, otherwise she would have been kidnapped.

When she came out, she simply moved the bed and quilt into the space and slept there.

The air in the space was very good, and she fell into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't wake up until dawn, so she simply put all the wardrobes in the room into the space. Of course, the bed and quilt couldn't be moved out.

Just think of it as the price the shopkeeper paid for scheming against her.

Then she swaggered downstairs, passed by the lobby, and said hello to the waiter before leaving the inn.

Waiter...

The waiter stared blankly at Lin Qiuyue leaving the inn, as if he had seen a ghost.

He ran to knock on the shopkeeper's door.

The shopkeeper's eyes were dim with tears as he slept. He didn't know what he was dreaming about. He smiled, put on his clothes and opened the door cursing: "Which bastard is knocking on my door at this time?"

"Shopkeeper, I just saw the girl."

"Which girl?"

"Yes, that's the little girl who stayed in our inn yesterday."

"You said it was the one on the second floor."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper suddenly lost his drowsiness and yelled at the waiter: "Then why don't you keep her?"

"The little one was in shock at the time. When the little one came to his senses, everyone was out of the inn."

"Useless things."

The shopkeeper knocked the waiter on the head, waved him away, and went back to sleep.

Everyone was gone, so he couldn't possibly run after them.

After Lin Qiuyue had breakfast, she started walking around the county town.

The county town is quite big and lively, selling everything. Lin Qiuyue also bought some pots and pans, and also put food in the space.

In the future, you can cook in the space.

In addition, I bought a few sets of clothes for myself and changed the tattered clothes I was wearing.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Once her clothes were changed, her whole person changed.

She looked like a beggar before, but now she looks like a girl from Xiaojiabiyu.

Her facial features were already exquisite, but during this year in the Lu family, she had not been able to eat well, sleep well, and had to work all year round, so she was dark and thin, otherwise she would be comparable to those wealthy ladies.

Then she bought some seeds, no matter what kind of seeds they were, she bought them and put them in the space.

It was past noon for this visit. After lunch, I was going to buy some medicinal seeds.

There are no medicinal seeds outside, you can only go to the drug store to see them.

As soon as she entered the drug store, Lin Qiuyue bumped into an acquaintance, Du Orion from the east end of the village.

This family is from outside, only a father and son, and they make a living by hunting.

Du Orion is only fifteen years old this year, but he is tall and thick, and his eyes reveal a maturity that is different from that of a teenager.

"Why are you here?"

Du Lihu was holding several packets of medicine in his hand and was surprised to see Lin Qiuyue here.

The Liu family was in a state of shock. This girl was actually here and had changed into new clothes. Could it be that this girl was responsible for the theft in the Liu family?
