Chapter 16 Method
Pan Yun drew five pictures in a row until he felt that the brushstrokes were becoming difficult, then he stopped.
She folded the drawn talismans, placed two on him, and folded the rest on herself.
With triple blessing, she didn't believe anything could happen to her.
Pan Yun glanced at the child. He could at least escape two disasters. Fate is hard to change, but luck can be changed. If you change it many times, your fate will also change.
God wanted him to die, but she insisted on fighting it. Anyway, she also wanted to save her father and brother and support the Pan family. Going against fate, this one more thing didn't matter.
Pan Yun didn't want to stay here for long, so she let the children go to bed and took out all her money to settle the account.
A five-liang silver ingot and a handful of silver coins seized from the two human traffickers should weigh about seven or eight liang, according to her unprofessional measurement.
There were only 2,300 copper coins in her own money box, and the traffickers had even fewer, only a little over six strings, each string weighing 100 coins. She didn't count them carefully at the time, but only counted the remaining money today when she started spending money, and found that it was still a little too little.
Excluding the money she spent on meals, buns and accommodation today, she now has 2,579 coins left. Oh, not counting the one or two taels of silver she spent today, which was also searched from the human traffickers.
Although the two human traffickers were poorer than she had expected, after some calculation, she found that the money she found from them was more than her savings in the past eight years.
I don’t know if I can rent a car with this money. Not having a household registration is also a problem. Now you need a household registration or a travel permit to do anything.
You can't rent a carriage and horse business just by paying money.
The imperial court had strict management of population mobility, and people could not migrate at will.
Of course, this does not include savages and refugees who do not enter the city.
But she couldn't be a savage or a refugee. To get from here to Datong, she had to pass through a town.
Pan Yun looked back at the child who was sleeping soundly, picked up the black cat, and jumped down from the window lightly.
As night fell, there was no one on the street. The alley where she landed was empty. She looked up at the location of the room, noted the direction, and left.
She needs to get a travel pass and a household registration page. If she doesn't need a travel pass, she can use the household registration page instead. However, the travel pass can also be used when absolutely necessary.
She planned well, but standing at the street corner, she realized that she knew nothing about Shexian County, and naturally didn't know where to do it.
Pan Yun thought simply. The darkness of night was the best cover for the black market. Even if Shexian was small, there should be such a thing there, right?
Pan Yun walked along the corner of the wall, her entire figure obscured by the shadow of the wall. People hurrying home on the street passed by her, and no one noticed that there was a person walking under the wall.
Pan Yun walked around She County with the black cat in his arms. When he returned to the street where the inn was located, he was bewildered. "She County's public security is so good. There is no one doing evil in the middle of the night. There is not even a black market?"
The black cat laughed at her silently.
Pan Yun pinched its neck, "Why are you grinning?"
The black cat froze and dared not say a word.
Pan Yun rubbed its fur, suppressed his anger, and returned to the room through the window, feeling very unhappy.
It's a pity that most of the beggars in the city were driven out, and the rest were hiding. It's impossible to find them even if you want to, otherwise you could buy information from them.
Beggars go from street to street begging and are always the most well-informed.
Pan Jun turned his head to look at the child sleeping sprawled on the bed and sighed. There was a ready-made beggar, but he was too young.
Pan Yun decided to go for a walk tomorrow. He stopped worrying about it and sat cross-legged to practice two small cycles of circulation before finishing his practice and going to bed.
When the child woke up, his face was flushed, and he said happily: "This is the best sleep I have ever had."
Seeing how cute he was, Pan Jun also smiled and stood up and said, "Let's go downstairs and eat. After we're full, we'll go to the carriage and horse shop."
Child: "I know the carriage and horse shop, but it's hard to get food there. It's best to get food on this street."
"You lead the way then."
She County is not big. How big can a county be if Pan Yun can walk through all the alleys in half an hour?
The carriage and horse shop is only fifteen minutes away from this street.
Pan Yun took the child in and asked the price.
There are very few vehicles and pedestrians, but there are many people at the entrance. The further you go in, the fewer people there are, but the things there are becoming more and more valuable.
There are many ox carts, mule carts and donkeys parked at the entrance. Further in are various vehicles and livestock for rent, further in are chartered vehicles, and at the innermost are horses for sale.
Pan Jun just asked out of curiosity and then lost interest. The price was too high and the money she had was not even enough to pay a small fraction of the price.
She asked about renting a car instead.
"From here to Datong?" The steward looked at Pan Yun and the other person and asked, "Are you coming back?"
Pan Yun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before asking, "What's the price if you come back, and what's the price if you don't come back?"
"If you return forty taels, the host must cover the driver's food and lodging along the way. If you don't return thirty taels, the host must cover the driver's food and lodging on the way out." The steward asked, "How many people are there in your family? How many cars do you want to rent?"
Very good, Pan Yun, whose total amount of money was less than twenty taels, gave up and asked, "Is there anyone who wants to share a ride?"
The steward said: "We have short-distance ones, but not long-distance ones. It's too far from here to Datong. We do have people going to the capital. If you want to go to the capital, I can give you fifteen taels."
Pan Yun: ...How free does she have that she goes back to the capital?
But the manager's words gave her some inspiration. Pan Yun asked, "From here to Datong, where is the next town?"
Steward: "We have to go to Qingfeng in Daming Prefecture."
Pan Yun: "How much does it cost to go to Qingfeng from here?"
She didn't mind going back to Daming Mansion. The two men were definitely not in Daming Mansion now. She could go back and definitely get away from them. The steward held up five fingers and said, "Fifty cents per person."
She could afford the money. Pan Jun smiled and said, "When are we leaving? There are two of us."
The steward pointed to the opening outside and said, "See that row of ox carts, mule carts, and horse carts? Go ask who's going to Qingfeng. There's usually one car a day."
When Pan Yun heard this, he immediately dragged the child over and soon found a carriage with six people already sitting in it.
The car had no cover, it was an open flatbed. Everyone put their luggage in the middle of the car, and then sat facing outwards with their legs hanging down. Three people could sit in the front, four people could sit on the left and right sides, and two people could sit in the back.
Hearing Pan Yun's question, the driver immediately said, "Hurry up and ask your family to come over. We are leaving soon. Pay first and then get on the car."
Pan Yun asked: "Can the child be cheaper?"
The driver frowned and looked at her body, and said, "You can't do it, your brother should give you ten cents less."
Pan Yun counted out ninety coins and gave them to him.
The driver was stunned. "Where are your parents and family? Why did you let your two children go out? I am not responsible for watching over them."
"I'm going to Qingfeng to find my father. He will come to pick us up when we get to Qingfeng."
When the driver heard this, he allowed them to get on the bus.
Pan Yun carried the child into the car, then jumped in herself. The two of them chose to sit in the back, some distance away from the crowd, so it was quite quiet.
Sure enough, they started moving as soon as they got in the car.
When the car left the city, the soldiers only checked the luggage on the car and waved them away.
What surprised Pan Yun was that when they entered Qingfeng in the evening, the soldiers guarding the gate checked the passes of other people, but they only checked the luggage in this car, glanced at the pass held out by the coachman, and then let the car pass.
Pan Jun's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood after a little thought. These coachmen all took fixed routes and traveled between the two places all year round. The soldiers at the city gate saw them every day and were very familiar with them, so they naturally would not check them in detail.
That’s great, that’s great. Even if she doesn’t have a household registration page and a travel permit, she can just take a short bus ride all the way to Datong.
It is far from here to Datong, but the next county to the north of this county is not far away.
Having found a feasible way, Pan Jun grinned and was very happy.
She couldn't help but say to the child, "This amulet really works. Isn't our good luck coming now?"
Pan Yun carefully counted the money she had and found that if she had to stay in a hotel in every county, it would be difficult to make it to Datong with this little money.
But if you don't stay in the hotel and just eat, the fare is enough. After all, short-distance carpooling is much cheaper than long-distance chartering.
So when she went into the city again, Pan Yun did not stay in a hotel. She took her children and hid in an alley not far from the city gate. After eating, she found a secluded place to spend the night.
The child was very familiar with this kind of life and did not complain at all. After eating, he lay down and fell asleep next to Pan Yun.
Pan Yun covered his eyes and said, "Wait for me to perform a magic trick for you."
When the child heard this, he closed his eyes tightly. Pan Yun chanted a spell, "Heaven and earth, please help me, Taoist Master, please have mercy on me and send me a quilt!"
When she loosened her hands again, the child saw the quilt suddenly appear in their arms. He screamed in surprise and shouted, "It worked, it worked, it really worked!"
Pan Jun smiled and spread the quilt on the ground for him to lie in, half covering him and half covering him. This way he would be warm. "Go to sleep quickly. We have to take a bus tomorrow."
The child happily agreed and slid into the quilt with a "swoosh".
Pan Yun sat cross-legged and meditated as usual.
It was not until late at night that she finished her work and lay down in the quilt, and the two of them slept together, close to each other.
She placed the black cat next to her head and said, "You keep watch."
Pan Xiaohei was used to it and looked at the alley with a pair of glass-like eyes.
Pan Yun found a suitable way to travel, and the next day he found a carriage company in the same way and took a ride to the next county town in the north.
He changed cars every day, and on the fourth day, he was almost approaching the Gyeonggi area.
The further north they went, the stricter the inspection at the city gates. On the evening of the fourth day, when they were close to the city gates, the driver called out, "Everyone, take out your pass and household registration page quickly. We will need them to enter the city later."
Pan Yun immediately asked to get off the bus. She said, "My second uncle doesn't live in the city. He lives in the village over there. I'll just sit here."
The driver agreed and stopped to let her get off.
Pan Yun got off the car holding the child, shook his numb legs, looked at the long queue to enter the city and said, "Let's go, let's take a closer look and see if there is a cheaper way to enter the city."
She led the child forward. There were quite a few people near the city gate, most of them were family members helping to queue up. They stood aside waiting to go in. There were also quite a few notices posted on the city wall, and those who could read stood there looking at the latest notice.
Pan Jun also walked forward with the child, looked up, and saw a familiar person on the wall at a glance.
Isn't that me?
Pan Jun widened her eyes and looked around quickly. When she found that no one had noticed her, she raised her head and quickly scanned the wanted poster.
Her name was not written on it, it only said that she was related to an important case of the court. If anyone found this person, they should report it to the government office immediately and they would receive a reward of ten taels of silver.
If you can catch the person and hand him over to the government, you will be rewarded with twenty taels.
