Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 71 Ink 6

Then Su Yue came to Dali and handed her a bag of chestnuts, telling her that she was not allowed to eat them all at once because she was going away for a few days and could not take her with her. She could only eat ten chestnuts a day, and she would come back after she finished eating the chestnuts. If she ate too many, she would not come back.

Dali was initially happy to see a bag full of chestnuts, thinking she would have Chuntao cook and eat them all soon. But when she heard that she could only eat ten a day, she realized she knew that was ten!

Ah Yue taught her that ten is when you stretch out both hands and have the same number of fingers as you do.

Just when I thought one or ten would be better than none, I heard Ah Yue say that she was going away for a few days and wouldn't be taking me with her.

Suddenly, he realized the fruit in his arms didn't taste good anymore, so Dali shoved the chestnuts back to Su Yue and then hugged her tightly, refusing to let go.

Su Yue coaxed Dali for a while, then took out two watermelons, a small pile of peaches, a bag of melon seeds, and a bag of dried meat from her space before patting Dali's prickly head.

"Dali, be good and wait for me to come back. Protect our home."

Dali was still reluctant to leave, but she knew that Yue was doing it for her own good, so she snuggled up to Yue again before hugging the chestnuts Yue had given her and lying back in the beanbag chair that Yue loved to lie on.

Su Yue filled Chun Tao's room with grain, and also put some grain and daily necessities in Shen Le Rong's room. After giving some instructions, she left Huang Mao and a few eggs behind, and then went outside.

"Let's go!" Su Yue walked to Mu Yuhe's side.

Despite his pale and weak appearance, Mu Yuhe still led Su Yue to the place where they kept their horses.

Mu Yuhe mounted his horse, but when he looked back, he realized that his men had taken all the horses to haul grain, leaving only three horses, which he and his men had also taken.

He rubbed his nose sheepishly, then got off the horse and let Su Yue ride it.

It's snowing, and riding a horse like this, it's a wonder they don't freeze to death, Su Yue thought with some disdain.

But there was no other way; the train carriages were very difficult to move through in the snow.

Su Yue suddenly had a good idea: wouldn't it be better to use a sled in the snow?

Su Yue spotted Wang Degui in the crowd of onlookers and waved to him.

She drew what she wanted to make in the snow and showed it to him. Perhaps because Wang Degui had seen many of Su Yue's drawings, he immediately understood Su Yue's idea.

He patted his chest and guaranteed it would be completed within an hour.

Mu Yuhe was anxious, but he also valued this extra hour, so he waited patiently.

Sure enough, less than an hour later, Wang Degui and his men had built the sled that Su Yue wanted.

The sled isn't very big; it can only accommodate three or four people. Originally, it had two doors, but Su Yue only needed to open one door on one side, and then add a small window to the door that could be closed at any time to prevent wind from blowing in.

There was space outside for the person watching the road to sit, so that others could take turns traveling.

Su Yue instructed Mu Yuhe's men to harness all three horses to the modified sled, leaving one person to continue the journey while the others entered the carriage.

Before leaving, Su Yue gave Wang Degui some instructions, but she didn't know if he was reliable.

Soon the three horses started moving together, and surprisingly they ran quite fast. Although not as fast as riding a horse, they were at least faster than a mule pulling a cart.

Su Yue, who was sitting in the sled carriage, was not idle either. She took out a small table from her spatial storage.

This table is also specially made, similar to the hot pot tables used in modern restaurants, except that the latter uses electricity, while this one uses charcoal.

This is to prevent the stove from tipping over when you're making tea in the carriage because of the shaking outside.

The charcoal in the stove had been lit long ago, and a pot of tea was brewed.

Soon the tea carriage warmed up and filled with a pleasant fruity aroma.

The teapot was filled with dried peaches that Su Yue had dried in her space. Su Yue opened a small window on the carriage door to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

As soon as the tea was brewed, Su Yue poured herself a cup and blew on it to warm it up.

Su Yue sat on one side, while Mu Yuhe and his men squeezed onto the other side.

Su Yue was sitting on a rabbit fur cushion, and her legs were covered with a rabbit fur quilt.

On the other hand, Mu Yuhe's side had nothing.

Watching Su Yue recline comfortably, sipping hot tea.

The two people opposite them couldn't resist the fruity aroma of the tea.

Mu Yuhe felt a little awkward. This person really knew how to enjoy life. He didn't even miss out on eating and drinking on the way.

These people, in their haste to get here, haven't had a hot meal on the way; their stomachs feel constantly cold.

"Um, may I ask the young lady for a cup of hot tea?" Mu Yuhe finally asked.

Su Yue sipped her tea, glancing up at Mu Yuhe. "One tael of silver per cup."

"You..." One of Mu Yuhe's subordinates, who was sitting next to him, couldn't stand it any longer and was about to say, "Robbery!" when Mu Yuhe stopped him.

"Mo Liu, you mustn't be rude to the young lady!" Mu Yuhe reached out and stopped Mo Liu's outstretched hand.

Mo Liu had no choice but to reluctantly put his hand down after being stopped.

She then took out ten taels of silver from her pocket and placed them on the table. Su Yue glanced at them and then unceremoniously put the silver into her spatial storage.

Let him pour his own tea. Mo Liu picked up the teapot, then took a teacup from the table, poured a full cup of tea, and handed it to Mu Yuhe.

He poured himself another cup of tea, which was almost overflowing, and took a big gulp, ignoring the heat, under Su Yue's shocked gaze.

Then, he snorted at Su Yue.

Su Yue thought this person was probably an idiot. He drank a big mouthful of hot tea without even blowing on it. She really wanted to pry open his mouth to see if it was full of blisters.

Mu Yuhe picked up his teacup, gently blew on it, and took a small sip. The taste was indeed quite good, like the sweet fragrance of peaches.

He looked at Su Yue and found that she was looking at Mo Liu with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"Miss, is it alright for you to be looking at Mo Liu like this?"

Su Yue smiled and said, "I just think he's interesting." After saying that, she glanced at Mo Liu again.

Upon hearing Su Yue's words, Mo Liu raised his head smugly and raised an eyebrow at her.

Mu Yuhe shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that Mo Liu really had a childish temper.

"Interesting?" Mu Yuhe repeated, looking at Su Yue with great interest.

Su Yue nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Hmm, it's quite interesting."

Then he ignored the two men and leaned against the side of the carriage, pretending to take a nap.

In fact, consciousness has already entered the space.

The space has changed a lot in the past few days; a bookshelf has been added to the first bamboo house.

This bookshelf looks exceptionally exquisite and exudes a faint fragrance of bamboo and wood.

Most strikingly, the bookshelf was filled with exquisite jade slips, neatly arranged together.

These jade slips have a warm luster and a delicate texture. Their surfaces are also engraved with mysterious runes and patterns, making one wonder what kind of knowledge and information is recorded inside.

Su Yue reached out and picked one up. Just as she was about to open it, the jade slip transformed into a stream of light and flew into Su Yue's brow.
