After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 216

Chapter 216 Ancient version of high speed

Liu Dafu was also impatient. Although he knew that Qin Yao would not go back on his promise, he waited at the entrance of the village very early the next day.

Seeing Qin Yao driving a carriage with the family's elder brother Jinbao and his five children, he immediately shouted and drove his carriage to follow behind.

He also brought some fresh fruits and melons to several restaurants in the county. It was good to be able to do more things, not to mention that Qin Yao was traveling with him, so the road was very safe.

Qin Yao had only sent the children to Xiahe Village before, and had not encountered other villagers begging along the road.

Today I personally sent the children to Jinshi Town, and saw two or three waves of people along the way.

They are dressed similarly to the nearby villagers, but each of them has a patched cloth bag hanging on his body, which is equivalent to a necessary tool for begging. Experienced people can tell what they are doing at a glance.

“I want to take a look, is that okay?” Qin Yao asked politely.

Hand-drawing is affordable and only costs ten yuan for paper and pen.

The shopkeeper asked curiously with a good attitude: "Madam, do you understand?"

The so-called Guandao is equivalent to a modern expressway, and Guanyi is equivalent to a service station on the expressway.

“The tree here is a big fork. There is a wooden sign pointing in the middle of the road. You can just choose Jinyang Road.”

She promised Liu Dafu to help **** Liu Li to the capital of Zijing Mansion, so when she arrived at the county seat, she had to go to the bookstore to buy a map first.

The store may not be able to draw a precise map of the same scale for Qin Yao, but as long as Qin Yao follows the drawing he drew, he will definitely reach the destination.

Feeling Liu Dafu's suspicious eyes, Qin Yao looked at the sky speechlessly. Although she did not have a map of Shengguo, she was still someone who could come and go freely in the virgin forest. His worries were really unfounded.

Qin Yao sent the children to the entrance of the Ding family school and watched them enter the school. Then she drove back to Guandao to meet Liu Dafu, and the two of them headed to Kaiyang County together.

He suspected that Qin Yao was buying the map for her husband who was going to take the exam in Fucheng at home, and she was also dressed very simply. He was afraid that she would spend money, so he gave her a hand-drawn version.

The store owner looked at her more curiously and motioned her to wait while he went to find the picture.

“Where did they come from?” Qin Yaohu asked.

When Qin Yao was carefully looking through the guide book, the store owner suddenly asked: "Is Madam a heroine who suppresses bandits?"

She only knew that the original owner's hometown was in the northwest. There used to be several family members and their names.

Qin Yao smiled and nodded.

By the way, shopkeeper Wu has been to Fucheng. When he returns to the village and passes by the mill in Jinshi Town, it would be safer to consult him.

Qin Yao learned from his heart again.

Qin Yao was never afraid of these gazes. Instead, she looked straight back. Under her confident and powerful gaze, several scholars lowered their heads in panic. They couldn't help but glance at her, curious about her movements.

There will also be many road signs along the way. The roads that are frequently used by people and vehicles are called so-and-so road and so-and-so road, the wider ones are called Kanghezhuang, the ones with many forks are called Kui, and the small roads are called Jing, Xi, and Chong.

The rest has become so blurred over time that I can no longer remember it.

“Where is the further north?” Qin Yao's memory of the original owner has gradually faded away. She actually doesn't understand many things.

The closer we are to Kaiyang County, the more beggars are on the road. At first, we can understand what they say and can tell the accent of which village or town nearby.

The store didn't say whether it was available, but instead asked her where she was going. Hearing Qin Yao say that he was going to Zijing Mansion, he raised a smile and signaled her to wait.

He also told Qin Yao that he could pay attention to the trapezoidal mounds on the road. These mounds are called hou. Each mound is five miles apart. They can use it to judge how far they have traveled and how far they are from the next station. How far is it?

In a country like Shengguo, it is not a good thing to experience large-scale population movements.

The Guide is a very thick book, because oversized paper is very expensive, and it is much more economical to cut it into small pieces.

And usually everyone asks acquaintances for directions, and few people go to the bookstore to buy a road map.

The shop owner nodded, he did have it, “but it's very expensive.”

Liu Dafu saw that she didn't know much about the outside world. While telling her about the places north of Kaiyang County, Liu Dafu tested whether she could distinguish between east, west and north.

He pointed to the circle on the drawing and said, "If you can pass the inn, it means you are on the right track."

But the store owner confidently pointed to the picture and told her, "If you want to go to Zijingfu City, go southwest from the official road of Kaiyang County. There will be a post station every thirty miles along the way, and you will pass twelve inns along the way."

Qin Yao walked into the bookstore for the first time. Previously, she had only bought school supplies from the stall at the door of the bookstore.

But when he walked to Kaiyang County, a group of foreign accents appeared, all with different pronunciation and customs. Qin Yao couldn't understand most of what those people were saying.

Qin Yao looked at the 'map' handed over by the store, which was only as big as two palms. There was another snake-shaped curve on it, with tree signs drawn in the middle of the curve, and then circles were used to refer to official posts, which were drawn on both sides of the road.

Then, under Qin Yao's doubtful gaze, he took out a pen and paper, polished it on the spot and drew a route on the paper for her.

While looking for pictures, he frequently looked back at Qin Yao, as if he had thought of something, with a surprised but uncertain expression.

As soon as she walked in, she found a few scholars in the bookstore. They all looked over in shock, as if it was unbelievable that a woman walked in here.

To be honest, Qin Yao felt perfunctory at first glance.

Liu Dafu was well-informed and guessed: "Tingyin should come from further north."

In this way, the two of them tried their hand at each other with distrust in each other, and finally entered the county seat of Kaiyang County.

Without GPS positioning and intelligent navigation, Qin Yao could only distinguish between southeast and northwest.

Normally, most people never leave their small villages in their lives.

Qin Yao first went to the bookstore to buy a map and waited for Liu Dafu. He was going to deliver food to various restaurants. The two made an appointment to meet at the Yamenkou in the afternoon.

Don't **** Liu Li to the pit when the time comes.

However, the small picture should also include the painting, so as not to affect the viewing.

As for herself, the farthest distance she has traveled so far is from Liujiacun to Kaiyang County.

They usually avoid carriages carrying people. Dalang said that when the carriage driver took them to school, none of these people stopped the carriage. Maybe it was because they were children and could not give them anything.

What Qin Yao wanted was to take it home and use it as a learning material for the children to deepen their understanding of their own country. She felt the store's kindness, and she didn't mind him making more money.

“Is there a bigger road map?” Qin Yao asked curiously.

Qin Yao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, stopped wandering around the store, walked to the counter and asked: "Do you have a map of the journey to Shengguo?"

Qin Yao raised her eyes to look at him and nodded lightly, "My surname is Qin, just call me Mrs. Qin."

The heroine called out, a little embarrassed.
