Chapter 4 Xinshui County

"Fool, follow me and I won't treat you badly."

Su Qiu smiled, and the pear dimples at the corners of her mouth seemed to be filled with honey.

"Ms. sir, why do you eat so much that the corners of your mouth are filled with oil?"

Su Qiu came forward and gently rubbed the corners of Shen Zechuan's mouth. A delicate and beautiful face enlarged in front of Shen Zechuan, and the slightly opened red lips made people's hearts itch.

"cough"

"What's the matter, sir? Did you catch a cold?"

Being single for 33 years and being a workaholic is not just for fun. In my previous life, I could say that I lived like a monk, not being flirtatious with women and only pursuing my career.

There are no pink and white decorations, no golden branches and jade bracelets. Su Qiu's every frown and every move is like poetry and painting.

"No, Minato...it's too close."

Shen Zechuan scratched the back of his neck unconsciously and lowered his head, not daring to look at the slightly raised red phoenix eyes.

"Oh, okay...ok"

The air seemed to be stagnant, leaving only the howling wind carrying the cold air through the hut.

“When you go to Xinshui County, you may stay for a while, so remember to bring all the important things with you.”

Shen Zechuan broke this embarrassing situation, pretended to organize the books, and put several piles of books on a square cloth.

Su Qiu just nodded slightly, did not respond to Shen Zechuan, and put away the things in a muffled voice.

This house is surrounded by walls, and it seems that there is nothing that can be taken away. The journey is long, so it is better to travel lightly.

But something seems to be missing. What exactly is missing? The memory of the original owner has not yet been completely connected to Shen Zechuan's memory, but I always feel that there is something missing.

"Mr., remember to bring this with you."

A smoky blue ear-shaped tassel rope came into Shen Zechuan's sight. The top of the rope seemed to be tied with something originally, and an emerald bead hung from the knot at the end, with the word "ze" engraved on it.

"This is…"

"I don't know, but it has been hidden under the quilt. You have to check it every day. How could my husband forget this thing?"

Shen Zechuan really had a headache. How could he travel through time and still not be able to accept all the memories, but it was probably extremely important to the original owner.

"I made a purse so I wouldn't lose it."

Su Qiu took out a cloth bag with a pair of mandarin ducks simply embroidered on it. Shen Zechuan took the bag and felt the matte texture of the rough fabric with his fingertips.

"Su Qiu is interested."

Shen Zechuan put the cloth bag into the inner layer of his clothes and tied a rope around his belly.

The two packed their things very quickly, and most of the things were packed. There were not many things in the hut, so it took only two bags to pack most of the things. After packing, the hut looked more like a "dangerous house" that had been idle for a long time. "Yes.

Shen Zechuan carried two bags and slowly closed the wooden door. The hut stood motionless in the wind, with the flying thatch seeming to say goodbye.

There is an ox cart in the village, and the journey to Xinshui County takes about one day. If you hurry up, you can get there in half a day.

There is a place similar to a post station at the entrance of the village. Many ox carts and donkey carts will collect customers here. The village relies on these carts to trade with the outside world.

"Where to go?"

There was an old man sitting on the bullock cart. His thick clothes covered his wrinkled and dark face. He was holding the cow rope with his frozen fingers. The old man's breath was short and thick.

"Xinshui County"

"500 Wen for Two People"

Shen Zechuan put down the luggage and held Su Qiu's hand to help her get on the ox cart. Although the ox cart was broken, it was packed cleanly and there were a few pieces of cloth, which seemed to be used for sitting.

"Are you going to Xinshui County with your wife?"

"Go and take the county exam"

The bullock cart was pulling hard, and the cold wind in front of her was scraping her cheeks like knives. Su Qiu shrank her neck in the cold.

Seeing this, Shen Zechuan silently sat next to Su Qiu and let her lean on his shoulder to block the wind.

"The people in Xinshui County are complicated, so you have to be careful."

"Thank you, uncle, for reminding me."

The ox cart drove on the muddy path and turned into the official road. The swaying body of the cart was like a cradle. Su Qiu leaned in the warm embrace and fell asleep.

Shen Zechuan took this time to enter the space and found that the system had a new function, automatic sowing and automatic vending functions, which could easily convert products into silver coins, which was very convenient.

After practicing a small part of the martial arts secrets last time, Shen Zechuan got lucky and strengthened his physical strength again. Twisted veins popped out on his biceps.

It still takes some time to build up this thin body. Now after practicing a few postures, the abdomen has a thin layer of muscles.

It took a lot of physical strength, and the original owner's body couldn't help but tossing like this.

"Ms. sir, wake up"

Su Qiu's call came from the space, and Shen Zechuan immediately closed the space and returned to his body.

"Sir, we're here"

As soon as he returned, his body had not fully adapted. His legs and feet had not been moved for a long time, and his calf was experiencing numbness and soreness. Shen Zechuan hammered his leg hard.

“We arrived at the county so quickly”

"Ms. sir, you are sleeping soundly. The old man said that the newly built road is very fast."

"Really, you're pretty lucky"

Shen Zechuan paid the old man the money and got off the ox cart. A brand new plaque was hung on the gate of Xinshui County, with the two characters "East Gate" engraved on it.

Xinshui County was indeed lively, and the two of them, dressed in linen and gray-haired, were indeed out of place. For a moment, Shen Zechuan suddenly felt like a villager coming to the city.

Steaming steamed bun stalls, Hu cakes as big as your face, and colorfully dyed clothes hang from the street. The atmosphere of the market exudes the atmosphere of fireworks.

“Come and see, come and see, it’s cheap to rent a house”

"Sir, do you want to rent a house?"

Shen Zechuan put a list in front of him, which contained properties in different locations. When he put down the list, a smiling face appeared with a big mole at the corner of his mouth.

"Sir, you're here to take the county examination, right? There will be a lot of people in the next few days and housing will be tight. Look at the housing we have here. It's also close to the examination place."

Shen Zechuan is indeed quite tired carrying two baggage, so renting a house in advance is a good choice.

"Show us."
