Chapter 686: Haircut
The man called Brother Qi stared at the carriage going away and glanced at the soldier beside him.
"You kid, you still have a lot to learn!
Forget it, for the sake of that pot of wine last night, I'll be kind enough to teach you.
The bright red seal on the pass just now was specially approved by Prince Huai's Palace.
You've been working here for a few months, but have you ever seen anyone who has been issued a pass by Prince Huai's Palace?
Let me tell you, the brother who was as thin as a bean sprout just now is from a big family!
Forget it, I won’t talk to you anymore. I have to report this to the boss.
I can’t say for sure, I still have to report this to the capital.”
On the other side, Lu Qingqing drove the carriage out of the city gate.
There were straw huts everywhere outside the city gate, and refugees were sitting in groups under the huts.
When the refugees saw the carriage coming out, they all looked over.
Lu Qingqing was very familiar with that look.
Fortunately, there are border guards patrolling the surrounding area.
The refugees all wanted to enter the city safely, so they didn't take any more actions.
Lu Qingqing adjusted the mask on her face, shook the reins, and sped away.
It was almost noon and the sun was getting hotter.
Her clothes were soaked with sweat and she was a little hungry.
But this place was easy for people to pass by, so she drove the carriage forward.
Finally, when they turned a corner, they saw a small path ahead and drove the carriage straight into it.
After confirming that there was no one around, she entered the space with her carriage.
Compared to the dizzy-making heat outside, the temperature inside the space is really comfortable.
At this time, she felt pain and itchiness on her neck, and hurriedly took off her men's clothes.
I touched it and felt marks on the places where I had scratched.
Just now, when she was riding a horse, she felt itchy and scratched it a few times with her hands.
When he looked in front of the mirror, he saw that his neck and chest were covered with a large area of prickly heat.
Lu Qingqing smiled somewhat bitterly.
My body is really pampered.
It was so hot on the road before, but I didn’t feel anything when I got prickly heat.
I had been comfortable for less than a year, but I couldn't stand any hardship anymore.
Looking at the weather, I still need to adapt to the road ahead.
After thinking for a while, she found the scissors.
This thick long hair is really a burden.
She plans to cut her hair.
She had noticed this when she left the city just now.
Among the refugees at the city gate, many had their hair cut very short.
Of course, don’t expect any good-looking short hair styles, almost all of them look like they were bitten by a dog.
However, she didn't expect anything good to happen along the way.
Facing the mirror, Lu Qingqing gathered her hair to the front, and with a few snips, her long hair fell to the ground.
Looking at her medium-length hair in the mirror, she grabbed a few longer strands and cut them off with a few clicks.
When I got to the end of the editing, I didn’t even look in the mirror, I just went with my feelings.
She didn't look in the mirror until she felt her head light.
Okay, let’s not talk about outsiders now.
Even if her master and mistress were present, they might not be able to recognize her.
Lu Qingqing patted the loose hair on her body and swept up the cut hair on the ground.
Then he took a towel and went to take a shower.
The cool water flowed over her body, taking away the stickiness and stuffiness, and she sighed in comfort.
He scrubbed the newly cut dog-bite hair clean and rinsed the whole body.
Rub the towel on your head a few times and then touch it, and your hair will be almost dry.
I can only say that short hair does save trouble.
After taking a bath, she took porridge and water to feed Qin Lang.
Looking at Qin Lang who was still in a coma, Lu Qingqing felt her mood sinking.
She took a few deep breaths and calmed herself down.
He took a few buns from the shelf and ate them, then washed his hands and went to the bed.
While talking to Qin Lang, she gave him a muscle massage.
Looking at the time, Lu Qingqing rested for a while in the space, then put on men's clothes and continued on her journey.
When I was riding north in the afternoon, I met about twenty ragged refugees.
When the refugees on the opposite side heard the sound of horse hooves and looked up to see that there was only one person on the opposite side, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"This man has horses, so he must have food!"
"It doesn't matter if there's no food, just eat the horse!"
Lu Qingqing stopped the moment she saw the group of refugees.
Seeing the fierce look in the eyes of the twenty or so refugees opposite her, she quickly took off the compound bow on her back.
As the arrows were drawn, the refugees began to rush forward.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow hit the head of the man in front.
When the man fell, the refugees following him were unable to dodge and stepped on him.
When they saw him being shot, they screamed and ran away in all directions.
Seeing that there were no obstacles on the road, Lu Qingqing continued riding forward.
After meeting this first group of refugees, I encountered several more refugees.
After killing two groups of refugees in succession, she simply carried the bloody knife on her back.
If he encountered a small group of refugees again, he would just hold the blood-stained knife in his hand.
This trick is very effective.
The refugees who can make it here alive are all very good at reading people's expressions.
When they saw the bloody knife in her hand, they all avoided it early.
Lu Qingqing went against the flow of people and hurried forward.
It was not until it was completely dark that she found a secluded place and entered the space.
After two days of riding, the wound on her thigh was rubbed and healed, and then rubbed again.
When it gets stained with sweat, it hurts so much.
Every day when I stop and enter the space, I have to spend some time to process it.
He endured the pain and treated the wound on his thigh.
She took the map given by King Huai and looked at the remaining route.
If everything goes well, we will be able to reach Jiangdu City tomorrow afternoon.
After passing through the city of Jiangdu and exiting the north gate, the dock where the Grand Canal passes is not far away.
...
On the morning of the second day, Lu Qingqing was riding a horse through a town.
It was discovered that the town was surrounded by a high wall.
When the people inside saw Lu Qingqing passing by, they took the initiative to ask.
"Little brother outside, do you need anything?
We have basically everything in there, but if you want to buy something, it’s best to buy food.
If you want to buy it with silver, we have to consider it."
Lu Qingqing didn't want to buy anything, but she heard the shrill cry of a mule inside.
She deliberately raised her voice and whispered:
"You still have a mule in there? Want to sell it?"
The people inside looked at the skinny mule that was about to be slaughtered and hurriedly called out to their companions to stop.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't use the knife yet, there's a grudge outside... someone wants to buy it."
He smiled awkwardly at Lu Qingqing.
"Sell, sell! Little brother, although this mule is a little thin, it must weigh more than 100 kilograms.
I won't take advantage of you, so just give me fifty kilograms of food, how about that?"
Lu Qingqing shook her head.
"I don't have much food here. Will you sell it for silver?"
She had a lot of food in her space, but since she could ride a horse, she didn't have any on her horse.
After some discussion, the people inside agreed to let her buy it with silver, but they only offered a price of twenty taels of silver.
Lu Qingqing asked to take a look at the mule first before deciding whether to sell it.
When she saw the skinny mule, she immediately made up her mind.
