PFC Chapter 242 Pingtong County
Chapter 242 Pingtong County
Both of them were wearing thick clothes and began to sweat after entering the space.
The first action they took after entering the space was perfectly synchronized.
Take off your thick coat!
Only when they were left with only their underwear did they feel less hot.
Then, Qin Lang quickly took the food he had prepared from the shelf and began to feed the small animals he had not seen for a long time.
Lu Qingqing looked intently at the large bathtub in the storage area, which contained the hot water she had previously stored.
When I saw the water, I felt severe itching all over my head and body.
She scratched her sticky hair, said something to Qin Lang, and walked towards the simple bathroom separated by a straw mat.
I had no choice but to live with the people in the team before, but now I have the conditions, and I must not treat myself badly.
Anyway, I have been wrapped up tightly these days when traveling, so no one else in the team can tell whether I have washed my hair.
After Lu Qingqing finished taking a nice hot bath, Qin Lang was still feeding the big turtle on the other side.
One is happy to feed the baby, the other is happy to eat the baby, and they are all having a great time.
When Lu Qingqing saw this, she ignored him and went straight to the cooked food she had saved.
After eating dried fish for so long, she really wanted to eat pork, especially this kind of stewed, mushy, and trembling pork belly.
Of course, green vegetables are also indispensable, so I went to the vegetable garden and picked two handfuls of green vegetables.
When Qin Lang finished his shower, the two of them sat at the table and started feasting on meat.
A bite of big white steamed bun paired with a bite of glutinous meat is so satisfying!
The two of them devoured the food on the table like a whirlwind, finishing it in less than a quarter of an hour.
Even the broth in the plate was wiped clean with steamed buns.
Lu Qingqing held her bloated stomach and sat on the table in a daze.
Indeed, carbohydrates and fats are the light of mankind.
She thought she might be suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning and felt sleepy right after eating.
Looking at Qin Lang next to him, he also felt a little drowsy.
After Lu Qingqing dragged Qin Lang to wash up, the two of them fell asleep directly in the space.
It was a very comfortable sleep, without any whistling wind or snoring.
When Lu Qingqing woke up, she felt as if she had no idea what year it was.
Commonly known as, sleeping soundly!
Fortunately, Qin Lang's biological clock was very accurate and he had already prepared breakfast.
Lu Qingqing put on her clothes and went outside to take a look inside the tent.
Seeing that it was still dark outside, he returned to the space.
After the two of them finished their hearty breakfast and returned to the tent after leaving the space, they actually didn't feel so cold anymore!
After staying for a while, Lu Tianming called everyone to continue their journey.
It was a rare morning without any snow, and there wasn't even any wind.
Everyone took advantage of the good time and walked a long way in one breath. They even had lunch on the way and just ate a little.
It started snowing again in the afternoon.
Everyone had already gotten used to traveling in the snow, and they just tied their scarves tighter around their faces.
......
Seven days later, everyone followed the official road and arrived at Pingtong County.
The city gate was actually open.
Everyone in the team was so excited. It had been so long since they had been in the city!
Now everyone is short of everything except some money.
Not to mention the silver and money that were exchanged for the gold grains, when they were panning for gold, each family had some gold grains left in their hands.
Especially in the days when they were planning to escape, most of the gold particles they found were left behind.
Speaking of which, in the entire team, except for Yang Yongyan who has never been to Jingou, only Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang have no gold!
Lu Tianming asked everyone to stop, and then took a few men to the city gate.
Not long after, Lu Tianming and his companions came back.
Lu Tianming returned to the team and said excitedly:
"As long as you have a registered permanent residence, you can enter Pingtong County. Each person will be charged five copper coins to enter the city.
Each family agreed that those who wanted to go into the city should gather there.
The price of food inside is uncertain, so everyone should bring as much as possible!"
As soon as the words fell, excited discussions were heard from the crowd.
Only Lu Laosan in the corner looked anxious. His household registration had been lost a long time ago.
Seeing that other people in the team had already started to line up, Lu Laosan quickly walked up to Lu Tianming.
"Cousin, I lost my household registration. Could you please help me buy some food and salt?"
Lu Tianming looked at the embarrassed Lu Lao San and nodded in agreement:
"Okay, but I don't know what the price of food will be in this city. How much do you plan to buy?"
Lu Laosan took out a purse from his pocket, took out a few silver grains from it, thought for a while, and then grabbed a handful of gold grains.
"Cousin, please buy me three pounds of salt, and the rest for grain. I want all the grain to be coarse grain."
After Lu Tianming wrote down the amount, he took the silver and went to ask Cui for the money.
Cui Shi hesitated as she searched for the silver and money.
"Husband, do you think we should stay in Pingtong County? We have enough money to live in the city for a long time."
Lu Tianming sighed:
"The world is not at peace these days. The plague could come at any time. If we can make it to Pingtong County, why can't others come? If the plague really breaks out, it will be troublesome to stay in the city!"
As he spoke, he looked at Cui and comforted her:
“I heard from Shuhe that Linshan Village is close to a big mountain. If a plague really breaks out, we should go hide in the mountains for a while.
If there hadn't been a plague, we would have stayed in Linshan Village for a while.
You and the children must be exhausted after running away for so long, with poor food and clothing."
Cui listened to her husband's gentle voice of comfort, her eyes reddened, but she suppressed her emotions and said with a smile:
“Yeah, everyone’s exhausted.
But you are the one who is the most tired. Look at you, you are so old, but you already have white hair on your temples!"
Lu Tianming raised his hand and touched his temples, smiling and said:
"As long as we can all survive safely, being a little tired doesn't matter!"
Cui felt a little distressed when she saw the man who had been leading the entire team to escape famine.
Lu Tianming lowered his head and looked at her, then continued:
"We won't be traveling this winter. We're all very weak and need to take good care of ourselves."
Cui nodded:
"Once Linshan Village is settled, it's time to arrange Yuan Fang and Bowu's marriage."
Lu Tianming looked at Yuan Fang not far away. Before he knew it, Yuan Fang had grown into a grown-up girl.
After Lu Shuhe finished chatting with Yang Yongyan, he came over and called his father to gather.
Lu Tianming's thoughts were interrupted, so he followed him to the gathering.
Soon, everyone who wanted to enter the city arrived.
Basically, each family sent one or two people into the city. As for Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang, naturally both of them went in.
Lu Tianming unloaded the wooden pallets from the carriage and asked each family to lead their own horses into the city to transport things.
When we arrived at the city gate, every family had already brought out their household registration and was waiting.
The officers at the city gate did not make things difficult for everyone. After checking their household registration and collecting the entrance fee, they let everyone in.
In Pingtong County, although there are not many pedestrians on the road, it can be seen that the road has been cleaned.
