Chapter 27 Xiao Ying
The group of people cooked a meal. Although everyone was injured, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces.

Liu Juhua even said that she hoped there would be a few more waves of bandits, so that when they arrived in Yaocheng, every family would be able to buy a house and land and become wealthy.

Everyone had a sumptuous meal, and Xiao Wang even steamed white flour buns.

Yu Chun'er and her sister cooked bacon and fried green wild vegetables for their uncle and aunt, but they refused to eat with them. Pan Yingying had no choice but to let them take half a bowl of bacon back.

After dinner, everyone boiled some water, waited for the water to cool down, filled their water bags, and then set off again.

But compared to before, everyone has more obvious sharpness.

Pan Yingying was lying in the carriage to catch up on her sleep. After Pan Yingying and "Hanyue", she had another name - Xiao Ying. "Xiao" was the surname of the emperor of the time.

Yu Chaosheng was dressed in a blue shirt, with a cool temperament, and his long hair was tied up with a polished bamboo branch. He no longer looked like the idler in Taoyuan Village.

Pan Dajin did not ask about Zhang Xiaoye. When he saw the chrysanthemum earrings on Liu Juhua's ears, he already knew her fate.

The father and son were driving a ox cart together. There was talking and laughing in the other carts, but theirs was the only one with deafening silence.

After a long time, Pan Dajin exhaled a breath, turned his head to look at his only son beside him, raised his less injured left hand and rubbed his head.

He still has A-li, and for A-li, he must cheer up.

Pan Li's eyes were slightly moist. In the past, because Zhang Xiaoye didn't like it, his father rarely treated him so closely. Now, he would be the only son of his father, and he would be doubly filial to him.

After half a day's journey, they arrived at Pei County.

Pei County didn't look much better than Yulin County. As we drove along, we saw many people fleeing with their families.

When it was dark, the group entered the county town. Yu Chaosheng decided to stay in an inn for the night so that everyone could have a good wash.

Finally able to take a shower, Pan Yingying was in a good mood. She even looked at Yu Chaosheng more favorably and stopped arguing with him.

After breakfast the next day, everyone went their separate ways to buy the necessary supplies.

Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng went to the money house immediately and prepared to exchange some of the silver bills in the space.

She always felt that a thin piece of paper was not safe enough, and it would be more reassuring to change it into gold or silver.

In fact, the real reason is that the system only recognizes gold, silver and copper coins, but not silver bills and jewelry.

There were two money houses in the county town. The two went to both and exchanged 500 taels of silver in cash. They also went to the pawnshop to pawn some jewelry they got from the warehouse of the mountain stronghold. They only wanted cash and no silver notes, and they pawned a total of 318 taels.

They went to the clinic to buy some prepared medicine packs and 200 kilograms of charcoal. Then they strolled back to the inn. No one had returned yet.

Pan Yingying spent one penny to rent the inn's stove and braised a pot of stewed food.

She actually had quite a lot of food in her space, but it was not easy to take them out and eat them. After all, she had never braised them on the road. If she braised them now, it wouldn't be so abrupt to take them out and eat them in the next few days.

The innkeeper was so amazed by Pan Yingying's braised food that he insisted on buying a house.

Pan Yingying was not a black-hearted businessman. She asked for 200 taels of silver and 100 taels of supplies.

Yu Chaosheng: Isn’t this just heartless?

Pan Yingying happily put the money and supplies into the space, then turned around and went back to her room to sleep.

At dinner, everyone ate the braised food that Pan Yingying had invited them to eat. Old Man Pan and Old Man Wang even agreed to drink two taels of wine together. The next morning, everyone packed up and set off again.

This time, the little ones were all on an ox cart, and were taught to read by Pan Li, who had attended school for a few years.

Originally, Xiao Wang thought it was unnecessary for girls to learn to read, but Pan Yingying said that she wanted to teach her two daughters medical skills, and they could not learn if they were illiterate. So she could only sew cloth bags for her two daughters overnight, the same kind of cloth bags that Pan Yingying carried, to hold their pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Wang Bing'er knew a few words, really only a few, limited to her name, her brother's and her parents' names, and she couldn't write.

They have been learning swordsmanship from Old Man Wang these days. Originally, Yu Chuner and Yu Qiuer wanted to learn from Pan Yingying, but Pan Yingying refused.

Pan Yingying really doesn't have time. She has to find more animals and plants to sell to the mall while she still has the conditions. Otherwise, when she arrives in the north where there is drought and no grass grows, will she just sit there and wait for the land to be depleted?
……

……

The further north you go, the hotter the weather becomes, the more desolate the scene on the road becomes, and there is less and less green.

Two months later, Pan Yingying and her group arrived in Qiong County.

Nine out of ten houses were empty. Almost all the people had fled to seek a living elsewhere.

Pan Dajin came back after scouting the way ahead, with sweat running down his dark cheeks to his chin and then falling to the ground.

"The village ahead is empty, there's no one here." He took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, his throat so dry it felt like it was smoking.

Pan Li handed over the water bag at the right time, and Pan Dajin took a sip carefully, but it was only enough to moisten his throat.

When they passed through another county town half a month ago, Yu Chaosheng and Pan Yingying called on everyone to pool their money to buy an ox cart specifically for transporting water, so they are not short of water for the time being, but they still have to save water because no one knows whether they can find water ahead.

Yu Chaosheng looked at the sky and said, "Let's go to the village and rest first."

It's such a hot sun, if you keep walking you'll get heat stroke.

A team of more than 20 people marched into the dilapidated village, each chose a house to live in, left the men and children to clean, and the women fetched water to cook.

In order to save water, porridge could not be cooked. Instead, some pancakes were put on the porridge and a clay pot of water with less than a grain of salt sprinkled on it was used to cook the porridge.

Fortunately, I listened to Zhao's advice and picked a lot of wild vegetables and dried them, so I can eat now.

Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng lay side by side on the oilcloth-covered floor of the main room. Neither of them had the strength to move. Neither of them was diligent and was too lazy to clean. They just spread the oilcloth, put a mattress on top, and finally laid out a mat, then lay down on it.

Yu Chun'er and Yu Qiu'er came in and saw the two of them lying on the board together, and shook their heads helplessly. Yu Chun'er took out a small bag of fine flour from his uncle and aunt's ox cart that was loaded with grain, while Yu Qiu'er turned around and went back to her own ox cart to grab a handful of wild vegetables. Seeing this, Xiao Wang gave them half a bowl of lard residue.

Pan Yingying was sleeping soundly. When she heard Yu Chuner calling her to eat, she struggled to get up, but her waist seemed to be locked with a big lock.

When she looked down, she saw that Yu Chaosheng's legs were just draped across her waist.

Pan Yingying:!!!

The "38th Parallel" project must be put on the agenda!
He threw a powerful punch, but before it landed on Zhang Jun's face, it was grabbed by a white hand.

“It’s not okay to launch a sneak attack on others when they are sleeping…” The owner of the handsome face smiled slightly, making a few bubbling sounds.

The next second, a cry of "Ah" resounded throughout the entire village.
