Happy peasant girl

Chapter 89 Qingxi enters Beijing (4)
But the reality told her that many good things only exist in imagination, and the reality is so cruel. On the roads she passed, people would fall down and lose their lives at any time, but she was powerless.

Because her dry food is limited, her money is limited, and her ability is limited, there seems to be nothing she can do except sympathy and comfort that others don't really need.

What she saw and heard along the way made her feel powerless.Now, she is very glad that she has walked out of Linjia Village, Fu'an County, and Yunzhou Mansion. At the same time, she has become more determined to plant the land well and earn a lot of money.

Huai could see that Lin Qingxi had thought a lot during the time she was out. She thought that the reason why Lu Zhiming wanted Lin Qingxi to get out of that small world was because he wanted this smart and wise woman The apprentice can look at the world and have the world in mind. Only in this way can her future road become wider and wider, and all people in the world can benefit from her.

To be on the safe side, Huai and his group walked on hidden paths, cleverly avoiding some right and wrong places, so although they arrived in the capital much later, they did not encounter any serious danger, even if there were some half-way The little thief who robbed was also easily dealt with by the four yamen servants and Lin Qixi.

However, when the carriage drove to the outskirts of Beijing, a heavy rain washed away the only passable road, and they had to rest temporarily in a ruined temple in the outskirts of Beijing.

Of course, there were a lot of people going to the capital, and this dilapidated temple that didn't even have a courtyard gate had already entered a lot of people because of the rain.When Huaishi and Linqingxi arrived, they had no choice but to find an open space in the yard.

"Ma'am, we can't move forward. We can only enter the city gate when the people from the Beijing Central City Protection Department remove the rocks that collapsed in front of us. If we take a detour, the road will be slippery in the dark, and it will be more dangerous. "The yamen servant Lu Da approached the carriage in his coir raincoat and said.

"Then let's rest here for the night. Look around, is there any place that can take shelter from the rain?" Huai said softly while sitting in the carriage.

"Yes, ma'am!" Lu Da nodded, then thought for a while, and continued to say to Mrs. Huai in the carriage, "Madam, it's better for you and Miss to stay in the carriage, there are more people outside."

In fact, even if Lu Da didn't explain, Huai didn't intend to get out of the carriage. Just now she heard all kinds of noises in the ruined temple in the carriage.

Lin Qingxi even opened the curtain of the carriage to look around, and found that there were all kinds of people outside, there were businessmen and performers, there were escorts on the road, there were maids from noble families, there were well-dressed rich sons, and there were two majestic There are soldiers in armor, and seven or eight beggars huddled in the corner of the courtyard.

Fortunately, this ruined temple is big enough, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people, and people from behind came in to the ruined temple to hide from the rain, although the rain in the temple seemed to be heavier than the rain outside.

"Qixi, Qixi!" After the carriage stopped, Lin Qingxi shouted anxiously to Lin Qixi in the carriage.

"Girl, what's the matter?" Lin Qixi was checking the things on his horse's back, and patted the rainwater on the horse's body. He hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and he also had feelings for this horse these days.

"Miss Xi, what's the matter?" Seeing Lin Qingxi calling Lin Qixi in a hurry, Lin Qingfei thought something happened to her, and asked with concern.

"Third brother, there is nothing special. Qixi, is the linoleum we bought in Qingcheng half a month ago still with you?" When Linqingxi and her group passed by Qingcheng, she found a cloth made of rabbit fur in a grocery store. It is made of felt cloth, and the shopkeeper has smeared a thick layer of oil on it, saying that it is waterproof after drying.

Although the linoleum Linqingxi found in Qingcheng was incomparable with the modern linoleum, she was very satisfied with one thing, that is, it was waterproof, so she put all the money on her body, and the linoleum on Lin Qingfei's body. She took out all the money and bought a large piece of linoleum, and then let Lin Qixi take it with her. She was afraid that when she came back and passed by, this linoleum would be bought by others first.

"Girl, you are here." Lin Qixi replied from outside the carriage.

"Look here to see if there is a stick. If not, I saw a large forest outside the temple just now. Go and cut down five or six small trees that are about the same height, and then embed them in the ground, and then wrap the linoleum Put it on it so you won't get caught in the rain." Chu State didn't have any simple tents to sell, so Lin Qingxi had to find a way to build a small tent by himself.

"I'll go with Qixi!" Lin Qingyun asked Lin Qingfei to guard the carriage, and he and Lin Qixi went to the small forest outside.

The other people hiding from the rain in the temple cast a faint glance at Linqingxi and Huai's low-key carriage, and some chose to ignore it at all. Anyway, everyone is passing by, so there is no need to pay too much attention to others.

Lin Qingxi was a bit bored staying in the carriage, the sound of the rain outside made her feel a little stuffy in the carriage, and she always wanted to poke her head outside to have a look.

Huai regarded her as a child who couldn't stay in one place, so he said to her, "Xi'er, it's raining too much outside, wait until the rain stops before going out."

"Master, it's okay, we can go out to get some fresh air after Qixi and the others set up the tent!" Lin Qingxi really couldn't sit still.

Without making Lin Qingxi wait too long, Lin Qixi and Lin Qingyun cut a few wooden sticks of similar length with sharp blades, then tied the sticks together with Lu Da and the others according to the size of the linoleum cloth in Lin Qixi's memory, Drive the four strongest roots into the ground.

After fixing the stick, Lin Qixi took down the linoleum cloth from her mount, and together with Lin Qingyun and Lu Da, stretched it out and put it on the stick. Because there were two crossed sticks on it to make a horizontal frame, the linoleum cloth was placed on top of it. After that, it is very smooth, and after the stones are pressed, the wind can't blow it away.

Other people hiding from the rain in the temple saw Lin Qixi and Lin Qingfei quickly set up a small pavilion to shelter from the wind and rain, their eyes flashed with surprise, and then they saw an eight or nine-year-old man coming down from the parked carriage. The little girl, with bright eyes, looks very clever and cute. There seems to be someone in the carriage, but they didn't get out.

"Third brother, you are really good. You have set up the tent in a short while." Lin Qingxi looked at the small boxy tent with satisfaction. Fortunately, she bought it long and wide enough, and several people stood under it. , does not appear crowded.

"That's not as good as you, miss. If it wasn't for the foresight of the miss, everyone would still be drenched!" Lu Da took off his coir raincoat and hung it on a corner of the tent, which could also block the wind and rain.

"You're still a smart girl!" Lin Qixi also praised her.

Lin Qingxi blushed a little from the praise, smiled slightly, pretended not to hear, and turned her eyes elsewhere.At this time, she found that the beggars were not far from their small tent.
