The most urgent task is to hand in the gold lumps in exchange for mall coins.

Just now she looted thirty taels of silver and three taels of gold from the bandits.

Although small change cannot be exchanged, gold can.

Three taels of gold were exchanged for a total of 1977 yuan, plus the original amount, the current balance totals .16 yuan.

Looking at the mall coins that had recovered some of her blood, Ning Ning was almost moved to tears. Finally, there was some income. It was not easy for her to get these legs.

[Host, come on, there are many business opportunities in ancient times. 】

The system encourages.

Ning Ning: “Ha!”

Ning Ning snorted in response to the system's inspirational quote, but she snorted out loud without realizing it.

At that time, Shang Wenqi was just about to hand her the grilled fish, but was met with Ning Ning's cold snort. He raised his eyebrows with a strange look on his face.

Ning Ning also reacted and quickly tried to make up for her mistake: "I'm sorry, I'm not angry with you, I just... just... I got emotional when I thought about the person who destroyed my family."

Shang Wenqi didn't say anything, but just continued to hand over the fish.

Ning Ning took it and gave him a harmless smile, then looked at the fish in her hand seriously.

This is a fish that is grilled to a crispy outside and tender inside. The only drawback is that there is no sauce. If there was sauce, it would definitely be the most delicious.

[Host, do you need some dipping sauce? We also have hot and sour sauce.] The system promotes it at the right time.

Ning Ning pulled the corner of her mouth: "No."

Her mall coins are used to treat her legs!

[The sauce is very cheap, you can get it for just over ten yuan. ]

"Thank you, this smells good too."

Ning Ning remained unmoved. After a few grunts, she quickly finished the fish. Her movements were elegant, but her eating speed was unusually fast.

Shang Wenqi glanced at her silently. This inexplicable sense of disharmony came back again. Her movements were elegant, showing that she had received rigorous training since childhood, but this elegance made him feel vague. Instead, it was her eating speed, which was comparable to marching, that made him feel a bit real.

So, is her weakness just her protective color?

However, whether it was true or not, it had nothing to do with him. As long as she followed him back to Kyoto obediently, and as long as he did no harm to the people he wanted to protect, he would let her do whatever she wanted.

After they finished eating, they rested for a while and then continued on their journey.

Shang Wenqi was still carrying Ning Ning, but the situation was different during the day and at night. There were fewer people on the road at night for various reasons, but during the day, even here there were many people collecting firewood passing by.

In the eyes of passers-by, the two people's behavior is not only strange, but also immoral and incomprehensible.

Amid the frequent sidelong glances from passers-by, Shang Wenqi finally couldn't stand the pressure and stopped.

Ning Ning smiled secretly in her heart but remained calm on the surface. She made another suggestion.

"How about you just listen to my plan first?"

Shang Wenqi looked at her with cold eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't ask for anything excessive. After all, it's not polite to carry or hug someone."

"Then what do you want to do?" Shang Wenqi raised his eyes.

"Call a cab. What do you think of a large carriage?"

Shang Wenqi was in charge of setting up the horse, so it would be convenient for her to apply medicine or sleep inside. Ning Ning thought this suggestion was simply perfect.

However, when Shang Wenqi really got a car, Ning Ning was speechless.

This was a hand-pushed cart that Shang Wenqi bought from a farmer's house when they passed by. It was the kind that farmers usually use to transport grain into the city.

Ning Ning sat on it, and Shang Wenqi pushed her from behind. It was a perfect fit. She looked almost like a slaughtered pig.

The farmer was so considerate that he picked a large banana leaf from the banana grove outside the yard to provide shade for Ning Ning. For a moment, the green banana trees along the ancient green mountain road added a special kind of elegance.

At this time, Ning Ning sat on the cart like an old man. She could take a nap when she was tired, and use banana leaves to provide shade when she was in the sun. Compared with the previous few days, her life was completely different.

Ning Ning also sighed: "Luckily I met you, otherwise I would have died on the spot, not to mention being able to enjoy the comfort today.

When I have cleared my father's name and become rich, I will definitely repay you."

Shang Wenqi was disdainful.

“Although I am a weak woman, my father taught me many skills to make a living since I was a child, so it is not a problem for me to repay you.

Although you are cold and aloof, your business ability is indeed good. I admire you. If you can't make it in the future, you can consider joining me."

"what do you want to do?"

"Guardian... uh, guard? Shadow guard? Or secret guard? How do you put it? The kind that protects my personal safety."

Ning Ning originally wanted to say bodyguard, but it seemed that there was no such word here, and she couldn't remember what it was called.

"Guarding the house?" Shang Wenqi looked at the person lying there strangely.

"Yes! That's it!" Ning Ning quickly moved the banana leaf off her face and gave him a hearty smile.

"..."Shang Wenqi.

"Don't underestimate a housekeeper. How much salary are you getting now? I can triple your salary and even give you good land and beautiful concubines in the future!"

Shang Wenqi ignored her: "Don't forget that you are still a prisoner, and you are not riding in a luxury car but a prison car."

“……”A bucket of water brought her back to reality again.

Ning Ning helplessly covered her face with the banana leaves again.

The world is finally quiet.

With this car, the two of them were able to move around a lot more easily. In this way, they successfully set foot on the official road.

Compared to the road at the bottom of the cliff, the official road is more lively. There are ordinary people, merchants on the road, officials, messengers, escort teams, etc.

In this busy city with so many people coming and going, the man and woman walking alone seemed much more normal.

However, there are still many "travelers" who are silently keeping an eye on them.

Shang Wenqi was not in a hurry. He set off on the road when it was time to do so and stopped at the teahouse to rest. His main point was that as long as I felt that there was nothing wrong with me, it was you who had the problem.

At this time, the people observing in the dark were indeed a little undecided.

"Are these two the people we are looking for?"

"We'll know if we find out."

As they were talking, five or six old people came into the teahouse, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs. They took out their stools as if they were familiar with the place, sat down next to the teahouse, and then took out bamboo tubes and began to drink water and eat naan.

The waiter didn't rush them away and even greeted them.

"Uncle Wang, what have you been busy with recently? Long time no see!"

"Hey, I've been busy with spring ploughing lately. Look, I just finished and I'm rushing out."

His basket was full of woven straw sandals.

Other farmers are similar, all of them make farm tools when they have free time at home.

The merchants who were resting in the teahouse couldn't help but come over.

"You elder brothers and elder brothers are going to the market, right? Where are you going?"

The waiter smiled and said, "There is a troupe of actors in Guangyuan Prefecture. They have been performing there for the past few days. People from all over the area have rushed to watch the fun. I guess Uncle Wang is planning to join in the fun."

"Yes, yes, yes." Uncle Wang did not hide his feelings and nodded with a smile.

"So that's it!"

The merchant's eyes lit up immediately!
