Chapter 996 Lucky Town
Lu Qingqing even felt that the air was filled with the smell of clothes that had been covered up and were moldy.
She touched her damp trouser legs, handed the reins to Qin Lang beside her, climbed into the carriage, and went back into her spatial dimension to change into dry clothes.
After coming out, he took the reins and let Qin Lang go in to change his clothes.
Fortunately, when I bought clothes before, I always bought clothes of the same color and style.
Even if they've changed their clothes, you won't be able to tell unless you look closely.
Moreover, they haven't stopped taking a break at noon since it started raining.
On the one hand, the ground has been soaked by the continuous rain, and there are puddles everywhere.
It's not easy to find a place that is spacious and doesn't retain water.
Moreover, setting up and taking down tents at midday is also very energy-consuming.
On the other hand, the continuous rain slowed down their journey.
Everyone wanted to get to the towns or cities as soon as possible.
I hope to get into a leak-proof house and have a good rest.
Therefore, over the past few days, the team has only stopped and camped at night.
The next day, after a quick breakfast, we set off again.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing continued driving the carriage forward, and soon she heard Qin Lang in the space wanting to come out.
Just as they released the person, Qin Lang came out carrying a hot water bottle.
"Qingqing, put this on your lap, it will make you more comfortable."
Lu Qingqing took the warm hot water bottle and placed it on her lap. Soon she could feel the warmth on her lap.
The heat dissipated some of the previous dampness and cold.
The feeling of irritation finally dissipated, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
She hasn't used the hot water bottle since the weather warmed up.
Unexpectedly, it has come in handy again.
Seeing that her brows and eyes had relaxed, Qin Lang sat down next to her shoulder and placed another hot water bottle between his legs.
The two continued on their way, talking as they went.
Around afternoon, we finally came across the first small town after leaving the mountains.
Fortunately, most of the shops in the town were still open.
What's strange is that the shopkeepers didn't seem to be on guard against them.
It should be noted that they had passed through towns or villages before.
Those people, let alone opening their shops for business, would rather build a hundred walls to lock themselves inside.
Such an unguarded attitude is quite rare.
At this moment, the people in the shops saw that their procession had so many people and carriages.
They considered them rare, high-quality customers and stood at the door enthusiastically hawking their wares.
The team members, who were used to being in the wilderness, were quite excited to see this scene.
The conversation was even more heated when they passed a grain shop and an inconspicuous restaurant.
However, even if they really wanted to buy it, they would have to wait until they found an inn to stay in before they could do so.
The group continued walking along the main street, and when they were almost at the end of the street, they finally saw an inn.
The innkeeper's assistant came out to greet us warmly and introduced the inn's facilities.
Lu Qingqing chatted with him calmly, only to discover...
Perhaps this town is too remote, because we haven't encountered any bad people in the past two years.
Moreover, I wonder if the mountains to the west blocked the cold air.
The extreme cold weather in the winters of the past two years did not have a significant impact on their area.
When Lu Qingqing asked, the waiter only said that last winter was a little colder than usual.
The only unusual thing is the rainfall these days.
This spring has been the rainiest in several years.
Although spring rain is as precious as oil, too much rain at this time can also affect the germination of grain seeds.
However, the town is situated on a slope.
There was so much rain that it flowed down the drain.
Therefore, when Xiao Er mentioned it, he wasn't too worried.
Lu Qingqing, Bai Song, and the others never expected that there was such a wonderful place.
Bai Song couldn't resist asking the waiter about the price of grain.
It turned out that the price of grain here was much cheaper than in Dongyuan City.
According to Xiao Er, their town is located between two mountain ranges.
There is only this one town within dozens of miles.
The town is surrounded by countless villages of all sizes.
The grain in the town is all collected from the surrounding villages.
Moreover, starting last year, for some unknown reason, the officials who used to come to collect grain have stopped coming.
The villagers waited anxiously for several months, but when no one came to collect the grain, they sold most of it.
This is one of the reasons why grain prices are not high in the town.
After inquiring about the situation, Bai Song suppressed his inner elation and followed the group into the inn.
After successfully checking in, half of the team stayed behind to watch over the luggage, while the rest went out to shop.
After everyone dispersed, they discovered that not only was grain cheap in this town, but other things were also inexpensive.
Prices in the town seem to have remained at pre-disaster levels.
This discovery fueled an unprecedented surge in consumer demand.
Among them, the main force behind the shopping was naturally the soldiers under Bai Song's command.
Normally, Bai Song takes care of their food and lodging, so they don't have to pay a cent.
Moreover, after each battle, they would receive some reward money.
With only money coming in and not coming out for so long, everyone has accumulated some savings.
The soldiers had been fleeing famine for so long and had seen many unexpected events.
Right now, everyone is thinking of taking the opportunity to enjoy life.
They are very willing to spend money on food, drink, and clothing.
This made the shopkeepers extremely happy.
Each household brought out their expensive, unsold stock and enthusiastically promoted them.
One party was willing to sell, and the other was willing to buy; both were happy.
After this group finished buying and went back, another group came out to make purchases.
Grain stores, grocery stores, cloth shops, and restaurants were the main consumption areas.
Bai Song and Qian Chengzhi brought over empty horse-drawn carriages and bought a large quantity of grain.
Carrying those bags of grain out left the shop assistants and manager trembling with exhaustion.
However, both parties were very happy with the deal.
Besides the grain store, the grocery store was also packed with people.
The shopkeeper found all the items that had been unsold for years.
He quietly wiped away the dust and continued selling.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang also strolled around the streets twice, buying whatever they found useful.
When I wandered into the fabric shop, I bought some clothes for spring, autumn and summer.
Unfortunately, the two of them grew taller this winter.
Lu Qingqing also took the opportunity of buying clothes to measure her height at the fabric store.
That translates to about 1.62 meters.
Although she hasn't grown to the height she's satisfied with yet, she's grown much taller than before.
Her height anxiety, which had troubled her for a long time, has finally been relieved somewhat.
Thinking about what I've eaten over the past six months, I pondered for a long time, but I still couldn't figure out what had helped me grow taller.
In the end, Lu Qingqing decided to stop worrying about it.
In the days that followed, she continued to eat according to the previous diet, hoping to grow another ten centimeters!
I don't need them to be too tall, 1.75 meters is fine!
