Chapter 206 Bold! I am Master Chen
Jiang Nian, who already had some strength left, took the pot and ingredients from the carriage, but did not see the knife and flint.
He was about to make fire by rubbing two sticks together, but saw Jiang Yu take out a small object that looked like colorful glass. With a light press, a flame came out.
This? What is this?
Much smaller than a flint and steel, it can light a fire faster.
“This is a lighter.”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "It's a product of technology. Technology! I don't really understand it, but it can make a lot of convenient, rare and practical things.
When we get to the south, I’ll take you to see a lot of technological products. I can’t explain them all right now, so just get used to them slowly!”
Then he took out a folding knife and demonstrated it to his father, "Press here and the blade will pop out immediately."
Seeing that her father was interested, she gave him the folding knife and took out another one to cut a few slices of frozen meat to make meat porridge.
Jiang Nian played with the folding knife for a while and wanted to return it to Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu told him to keep it for self-defense.
Jiang Nian happily accepted it and helped to light the fire.
"Dad used to be like this. Whenever Mom cooked, Dad would go into the kitchen to help light the fire."
"You tell me what happened in the past. I remember that I have a family and children."
Jiang Yu recounted in detail the ordinary and happy trivia in her memory.
Squatting beside the cave, drinking hot meat porridge, listening to ordinary family trivia, Jiang Nian had tears in his eyes. If he was really Jiang Nian, he would make up to his father and children for the rest of his life.
"You didn't kiss, did you?"
"The Chen family came to cancel the engagement..."
Jiang Yu told his father what the Chen family had done and how it ended up, and did not hide it from Qin.
"Qin, who is it?"
"Comrades in arms."
"I'll let grandpa tell you about this when we get home."
"Hand. Duan. Too. Cruel!"
"Maybe!"
Jiang Yu had never actually joined the army or carried out any mission, so he could not comment on whether Qin's approach was right or wrong.
In the modern world that values peace, this should be wrong. But in the ancient world where people were bought and sold like animals, it is really hard to tell right from wrong.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yu picked up the shovel and started digging again. This time he dug a long slope and drove the carriage into the hole.
"Dad, you sleep in the carriage."
"And you?"
"I sat on the shaft and leaned against the door to sleep."
"it is good."
Jiang Nian was not stubborn. As long as he didn't get sick, he would save Xiaoyu energy and money.
……
The next day, Jiang Yu transformed his father into Qin Yue and himself into Feng Yudong, and they set off as master and servant.
When we arrived at Dongping Prefecture, it was already the fourth day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The north city gate was deserted, with no cars or people entering or leaving the city.
The entrance fee is 20 coins.
The entrance fee is so expensive, I wonder if it’s because of CityU or because of the New Year price increase.
After paying the entrance fee honestly, Jiang Yu drove the carriage directly to the South Gate.
The city was also deserted. Nine out of ten stores were closed, and the only one that remained was because the person lived right behind the store.
There is also a fee for leaving the city, which is also 20 cents.
Jiang Yu paid the fee and left without hesitation. She had been to Dongping Prefecture before and she did not break her promise.
……
Along the way, enter any city you see and leave if the city is closed. Restock supplies at any store you come across.
After the tenth day, when you go back into the city, it becomes lively.
After entering Linjiang Prefecture that day, Jiang Yu changed to a new and spacious carriage with a tall horse, and then found an inn to stay in.
There were so many supplies she needed. Linjiang Prefecture was already in the south, so she needed to supply clothes, shoes, socks, food, meat and eggs.
The frozen meat was originally salted bacon, which could last for ten days, but when we entered the south, the frozen meat had thawed and had a smell. We had to buy fresh meat, eggs, salt, rice, and a shovel.
The other corner of the knife had been dug off by her. If it weren't for the folding knife, she would not have been able to dig a hole when camping outdoors at night.
After replenishing the supplies, Jiang Yu was not in a hurry to leave. He and his father changed into spring men's clothing, revealing their true faces, and then pulled his father into the clinic.
The doctor shook his head to indicate that the root of the patient's tongue had missed the time for treatment.
"Then how do you think my father should be taken care of? He caught a cold and had a fever half a month ago, and now he's still weak."
Jiang Yu did not mention epilepsy. For the ancients, epilepsy was called epilepsy and was classified as a madness.
She didn't want her father to know so as to avoid burdening him.
"You're seriously deficient, but you don't need to take medicine. You can just replenish your body with food slowly."
Jiang Yu was relieved.
After leaving the clinic, Jiang Yu went shopping again to buy gifts for his grandfather and younger brother.
Jiang Nian was a little nervous, "How far is it? Should I buy it or not?"
"Your return home is the best gift. If the journey goes smoothly, it will be almost done in half a month."
Jiang Yu's words comforted Jiang Nian. He himself had no money, so he helped Jiang Yu decide what to buy.
But the ones he consulted were all for children, so Jiang Yu smiled secretly and bought them for his brother according to his father's wishes.
……
Jiang Yu said that it would take another half a month to get there, but she went into every city she came across and bought things when she entered the city, and it was not until the fifth day of February that she arrived in Anzhou.
At this time, the spring clothes have been replaced by summer clothes.
She turned back into 'Mr. Chen', and Dad used his real face.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of Ying Mansion, the doorman jumped down from the stool nimbly. Did the master come back in person?
He raised his voice and shouted to the inside of the mansion, "The master is back! The master is back!"
Suddenly, a large group of people ran out of the mansion.
The ones running in the front were actually grandpa, his younger brother and his aunt, and behind them was Qin.
Jiang Yu: "..."
Who leaked the news that she was 'Master Chen'?
Seeing his granddaughter in full health, Grandpa Jiang was so worried that he didn't even want to watch the DVD. He picked up the bamboo broom beside the courtyard wall and hit her.
"Are you getting bolder and bolder? Where have you been? You haven't been home for more than three months! Both sides can't have a peaceful New Year because of you!"
"How dare you! I'm 'Master Chen', how dare you take a picture of me?"
Jiang Yu said this, but his body had its own thoughts and automatically dodged the broom!
"I'm photographing you, 'Master Chen'!"
Grandpa Jiang got angry. At this time, his granddaughter was still pretending to be with him?
"who is it?"
Jiang Yu dodged the bamboo broom while shouting to Qin Yue and the group of servants behind him,
"Who let these people into the mansion? Come forward and tell me, Master. Otherwise, I will find out and sell them out!"
"cough!"
Qin Yue coughed heavily and blinked at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu: "..."
What do you mean?
"it's me!"
Aunt Jiang stepped forward and said, "Sell me!"
"Hey Hey!"
Jiang Yu smiled foolishly, "Aunt, please take Grandpa's broom away! 'Master Chen', don't I have any dignity?"
"Snapped!"
Grandpa Jiang didn't need Aunt Jiang to grab the broom in his hand. The person who got off the carriage was shocked and dropped it to the ground.
"Nian'er?"
When Jiang Nian heard the noise outside the carriage, he got off by himself.
At this moment, he was face to face with a thin old man. When he heard the old man call him "Nian'er", his eyes were inexplicably wet.
"Jiang Nian?"
Aunt Jiang followed her brother's gaze and saw Jiang Nian, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Dad? Are you the dad?"
Jiang Jin threw himself directly into Jiang Nian's arms, "Wuwuwu... Dad, you're back? You're not dead?
It’s hot, Dad is hot, I know, I know, if I can’t find Dad’s body, Dad must still be alive.”
