After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

After this fight, all those who had wanted to cause trouble were lying on the ground, either injured or dead, and the woman was screaming at the top of her lungs until her voice broke.

Yuxiu ignored them and glanced coldly at the onlookers. Seeing that everyone had flickering eyes but did not dare to step forward, she snorted coldly and drove the carriage towards the city gate.

"Girl, ten taels of silver per person to enter the city."

The person who spoke was a leader among the soldiers guarding the city. He came over when Yuxiu drove the carriage over. At this time, he was very polite to a little girl like Yuxiu.

It's not that he has a good personality or something, but mainly because he was shocked by Yuxiu's fierce skills. Then think about it, a little girl can drive a carriage in this world, if she doesn't have some skills, how can she come here intact.

"Okay, we'll go into town and stay for one night and leave tomorrow."

Yuxiu casually rummaged in her sleeves and took out two silver ingots and handed them over, then she opened the curtain of the carriage to let him take a look at Cui inside.

Cui didn't say anything, she just sat there and smiled reservedly. This was what Yuxiu had taught her before. Although she didn't know why, she just had to do it.

The team leader looked at Cui and saw Yuxiu's decisiveness, and he was more certain that this girl was not only capable, but also very likely came from a wealthy family, and the Cui in the carriage was most likely her master.

Otherwise, it would only cost two copper coins to go into the city on normal days, but now it costs ten taels. Faced with such a high price, people didn't show any sign of heartache at all.

"Miss, do you need to stay in a hotel? If you are not familiar with the city, I will ask someone to take you there?"

The reason why the team leader was able to become the team leader was, of course, inseparable from his ability to judge the situation. Seeing Yuxiu driving into the city, he hurriedly asked with a smile.

"That's okay..."

Yuxiu thought about it and realized that they were indeed unfamiliar with the city. Besides, she was confident that these people could not trap her, so she nodded calmly.

"Zhao Gener, come here..."

The leader called out to the people behind him, then bowed to Yuxiu and said with a smile:

"My name is Zhao Mu, you can just call me Lao Zhao. This guy is my cousin, just ask him to take you to the city to find a place to stay."

"Thank you, Brother Zhao."

It was so refreshing to call Zhao Mu that Yuxiu couldn't really just call him Lao Zhao.

"Come with me, girl."

Zhao Mu gave Zhao Gen'er a few instructions, and Zhao Gen'er ran ahead to lead the way.

Yuxiu nodded to Zhao Mu and drove after him.

The city was a little deserted, probably because it was getting dark, and many shops were closed. Zhao Gener led Yuxiu forward and finally stopped after turning two streets. Yuxiu saw an inn called "Liao Ji".

"Boss, please come out and greet us quickly. We have a distinguished guest."

Zhao Gener was a very sunny young man. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted inside.

"I'm coming……"

The inn was very deserted. A young boy ran out in a hurry. Judging from his clothes, he should be the second brother who worked inside.

"Sir, the shopkeeper has gone out and will be back soon. Where is the guest?"

The waiter's eyes passed Zhao Gen'er and fell on the carriage outside. He was immediately delighted and hurriedly trotted over, extending his hand and making a gesture of invitation.

"Please come in, sir. I will help you drive the carriage to the backyard..."

Yuxiu had already helped Cui get off the carriage. She just nodded and walked into the inn.

"Well...you two can sit here for a while. The owner of this shop is a serious businessman. He is fair and will not cheat you. You can rest assured and stay here. I will go back first."

Zhao Gener didn't know what was going on. Anyway, he listened to his elder brother very much. He would do whatever he was told to do and would not ask any unnecessary questions.

"Then I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Zhao. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Just think of it as me treating you two brothers to a drink."

Yuxiu thought for a moment and took out a silver coin and a half from her sleeve and handed it to Zhao Gener. Zhao Gener hesitated for a moment, but still thanked him and accepted it.

"Girl, it seems like no one has lived here for a long time."

Cui looked around. Although the inn was quite large, it was deserted and had no one around.

"It's been a drought for so long now, there are refugees everywhere, many people can't even get through the city gates, how can anyone come to stay at the inn?"

Yuxiu explained with a smile. Cui was a little embarrassed. She rubbed the handkerchief in her hand and said awkwardly:

"Well, my dear, I have never stayed in an inn in my life..."

"It's okay, mother. You will definitely have endless blessings if you follow me, your daughter."

Yuxiu leaned on Cui's shoulder, and the two exchanged a few words. Then the waiter settled the chestnut horse and hurriedly ran to the front, ready to take Yuxiu and the other person to the guest room.

"Oh, do we have a distinguished guest today?"

A middle-aged man who looked very kind walked in from outside, and the waiter hurried to greet him.

"The shopkeeper is back. Two distinguished guests have arrived. They were brought here personally by the gatekeeper."

The shopkeeper was very polite to Yuxiu and her friend. Not only did he personally arrange a room for them, he also told the waiter to quickly ask someone to bring some food.

"There is a shortage of water and food everywhere recently. We can only make do with simple meals. Please forgive us."

There's no way. Having food is enough at this time. How can I ask for too much?

Today I can finally sleep in a proper bed. Fortunately, although the inn has not had any business for a long time, the bedding and other items are still very clean. There is a scent of sunshine, and it seems that they have just been taken out to dry in the sun not long ago.

Yuxiu and Cui rested in the house for a while, and the waiter brought them food and hot water. It was a small bowl of brown rice and a few stir-fried dishes. Yuxiu didn't eat any of them, but stored them all in the space. She also cooked a pot of white rice in the rice cooker and fried a few dishes in the space to eat.

Anyway, no matter what, you still need to be more careful when you go out.

Yuxiu was also very tired today. She didn't even have time to draw the lotteries for the two tasks. She just took a quick shower with the hot water brought by the waiter and went to sleep.

I didn't know how long I slept, but when I heard the noise everywhere outside, Yuxiu suddenly sat up from the bed. Cui also opened her eyes and reached out to grab the stick that Yuxiu had prepared for her.

"There are bandits attacking the city outside. If you two are awake, get up and pack your things quickly. The city gate may not be able to be defended."

The waiter's voice was heard outside the door, as if he had just run back from somewhere, breathing heavily in his throat.
