Early the next morning, Luo Qingqing stood at the entrance of the village and waited.
She doesn't know how many people will eventually be willing to move to a strange place, but even one more person means one less risk.
Trying her best is what she has to do now.
Soon, the first family appeared in her field of vision carrying packages.
Then came the second and third households...
Gradually, Luo Qingqing couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
More and more villagers were getting ready to travel, and in the end she found that there were actually more than one of the twenty-six households!
"you… "
"Actually, I don't care. After all, I have lived for such a long time." Duoye said with a smile, "But it is rare for a child to want to go out and see the world, so I think there is no harm in going."
"Yeah, at worst, you can come back if you regret it." Someone laughed.
"Yes, those guys can't always keep an eye on us, right?"
"Hey, actually I don't want to move." Others followed the trend, "But if everyone leaves, wouldn't it be boring for our family to stay here?"
"Come on, you have been saying that you want to go to the city before. Even if the child doesn't beg, you will still go."
"Ahem, is going to the city the same as moving to a different place? Don't talk nonsense."
Luo Qingqing was finally relieved after worrying all night. She closed her eyes and lowered her head in the direction of Luo Changtian's burial for a while. After paying homage to Luo Tang, she took a deep breath and said to the people gathered, "We Go to Jinxia City!"
…
This journey lasted less than half a month.
Using the Luo family's stores in prefectures near Gyeonggi, she obtained ample travel expenses through code words - in fact, until this time, most of the Luo family's disciples did not know about the changes that had occurred in Shangyuan City, although the amount of money was recorded It will eventually be sent to Youzhou for collection, but that will be at least a month later.
After boarding the boat, the journey became very brisk. On the eleventh day, the gray walls of Jinxia City appeared in front of everyone.
Although Luo Qingqing couldn't see the actual object, the large amount of Qi flowing in front of him showed that the destination was not far away. By this time, she felt a little uneasy.
Although this cannot be called a kind of cowardice, it is very similar in essence - her understanding of the current situation of Jinxia City basically comes from Luo Youer's letters, and her understanding of Xia Fan comes from the Qingshan Town Scholar a few months ago. Test.
Since that letter, she has never had contact with Jin Xia again.
A few months is not a long time, but it is not a short time either.
If people's hearts want to change, sometimes even a few days is enough.
But after finally getting here, there is no reason to stop due to emotion or reason. As she promised before, even if Jinxia City is not a suitable place to settle down, she will not abandon these villagers halfway.
The boat slowly docked at the inland river pier.
"Jinxia City has arrived!"
Following the boatman's shout, the trestle pedals were set up.
Luo gently put on his hat and veil and was the first to step off the boat.
"Wow, this is a big city!" A'duo was already looking around, "Even the ground is paved with stones!"
"Don't run around, be careful of being touched!" Grandma Duo warned.
In comparison, adults are much more reserved? Although Jinxia City is not as big as Gyeonggi, the cost of clothing is still much higher than that of Wuming Village. Did everyone find out soon? The linen clothes he wore were obviously much shabbier than others.
See everyone huddle together unconsciously? Luo Qingqing also guessed this. She knows that docks are often crowded with gangs and snakes, and are these people's favorite targets? They are foreigners who are unfamiliar with the place.
To be on the safe side, you should leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible after counting the number of people.
When she was about to tell several children to do this? Suddenly a short man came towards her. Judging by anger? This person does not pose a threat.
"Hello? Welcome to Jinxia City. Is this your first time here? I can provide you with guide services."
As soon as the other party spoke, Luo was slightly stunned.
From the sound of her voice, she should be a girl of sixteen or seventeen. A girl like this would not normally appear in the dock area, unless she was an orphan adopted by a gang. But the other party doesn’t talk like a wild child, is he polite and polite? What about this guide service
"What service?" Erhu had already asked.
"The General Affairs Bureau provides a number of guidelines - such as accommodation, meals, working, farming, and relocation." The girl answered skillfully? "Aren't there many people who are at a loss when they arrive in a strange city? The Secretariat can help them get familiar with Jinxia City quickly. I think you guys seem to be coming from other places, so I came here to ask. If you don't want to make any inquiries, go straight ahead and turn left. This is the registration office. After registration, you can enter the city."
Luo Qingqing suddenly had an illusion.
Was the time he was imprisoned a few days or a few years
She has been to many places in Qiguo? I have read a lot of Fengtu Zaji, out of self-effacement? She would not claim to know everything, but among her peers, Luo Qingqing believed that there were only a handful of people who could match her in knowledge.
This was the first time she had heard of such a situation.
"General Affairs Bureau"... This is obviously not an organization established by the imperial court.
Wait - Luo Qingqing suddenly felt that the other party's introduction was quite similar to Xia Fan's nagging style. "Are there any guidelines for relocation?"
"Of course, there are currently three districts in Jinxia City that provide idle housing, and expansion is still underway outside the east city wall. You can go to the Secretariat to inquire about the specific price and purchase deed." The girl smiled, "Although it looks expensive, you don't have to pay it all at once. Qing. So it’s best to find a job in Jinxia City. If everything goes well, you can settle down in Jinxia City in two days.”
Luo Qingqing didn't know what to say for a moment.
She originally thought she was going to secretly write a letter to Xia Fan and Luo Youer, asking these two "locals" to arrange the relocation of Wuming Village. This process would take at least ten days and a half. When the matter was confirmed to be completed, she would leave Jinxia City quietly, as if she had never been there.
But now it seems that even letters are not needed.
"Then... let's go to the Secretariat you mentioned first."
"Okay. Here, this is a map of Jinxia City." The girl handed a piece of paper to her hand. "The star symbol represents the location of the Secretariat, and we are here now."
Luo unfolded it gently and found that this was actually a genuine map. Although it was a bit crude, several main streets and important locations could be clearly seen at a glance. For example, a sailboat is painted in the river dock area, and an official hat is painted in the official position. Even if you are illiterate, you can still use the legend to determine which city area you want to go to and how many streets are away from your destination.
After taking everyone to register their names, origins, purpose of entering the city, etc., she entered Jinxia City with a bronze medal she received.
