Chapter 363: Changes in the World

"Put the bucket down first and close the door."

Hearing her words, Gui Niang did as she was told with a dull look on her face, and then stood in front of her like a wooden man.

"What year is it now?"

As Si He asked, he took off his cloak and hung it on the rack beside him.

"The eleventh year of Zhenwu."

Hearing this, Si He frowned, "The eleventh year of Zhenwu?"

The unfamiliar words made her feel uneasy, so she quickly asked a bunch of questions, and only then did she get a general idea of ​​the situation.

It turns out that she slept for eighteen years!

Although it took a long time, it was within expectations. Fortunately, I didn’t sleep for too long.

However, during these eighteen years, great changes have taken place in the Beisha Kingdom, and it can be said that the entire country is in turmoil.

Moreover, not only the Beisha Kingdom, but even the former Dayan Kingdom was divided into pieces, with many heroes competing for the throne.

Due to years of endless wars, many people have taken refuge in the deep mountains and forests. Only because this area is a little remote is there a little peace.

She wanted to ask for more details, but the woman didn't know much. The main reason she knew this was because the world was so chaotic. Otherwise, how could a woman who did odd jobs know the situation in the Great Yan Kingdom?

After knowing the information he wanted to know, Si He finally broke off his control over the woman.

When Gui Niang regained consciousness, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at the beautiful girl in front of her with some confusion. Then she said to her, "Bring up a few more buckets of water, and bring a set of clean clothes and food."

As she spoke, she handed over a piece of silver. Five taels of silver was really a lot!

Gui Niang's eyes suddenly lit up, and all the doubts in her mind disappeared. Only the five taels of silver were left in front of her. She smiled and said, "Miss, please wait a moment. I will bring the things over soon!"

She took the silver and left the room with a smile on her face.

She said it was fast, and it was indeed fast. She brought the things over one after another in a short while.

Apart from the fact that the clothes didn't fit well and were a little too loose, Si He didn't mind since these were new clothes that Gui Niang had recently made and hadn't worn yet. After all, they were better than the clothes she was wearing now. It wasn't that the material was good, but that they had no odor and were cleaner.

Besides, her clothes are more than ten years old. I am afraid that they may not be wearable after washing.

However, the material of the cloak was not bad. Although it looked a little old, it was still quite sturdy and could be worn again after washing. So Si He asked Gui Niang to take the cloak down and wash it.

The waiter downstairs saw Gui Niang running up and down, busy all the time, and couldn't help but ask a question with some confusion, but Gui Niang kept her mouth shut, for fear that the waiter would snatch her work away. What if there was a reward tomorrow?

When the waiter saw Gui Niang like this, he probably guessed that she had received a tip, and couldn't help but mutter a few words of complaint.

The night passed and everything was calm.

The next day, the sun was shining and the sky was clear.

Si He stood in front of the window, looking at the bright sunshine outside, feeling a little helpless. Although she could wear a cloak, to be on the safe side, she decided to wait until night before setting off.

During the day, Gui Niang served Si He very diligently because she had received a reward last night. She fetched water and brought it to Si He early in the morning, and also brought some food. After all, the world is difficult nowadays, and it is not easy to earn some money. It is rare to meet such a generous person, so she naturally cannot let it go.

Seeing her like this, Si He did not refuse. Instead, she took out some silver and asked her to help go to the town to buy some suitable clothes and shoes for herself, mainly because it was not convenient for her to go out.

Gui Niang immediately smiled happily again and took the silver to go shopping.

The waiter downstairs was a little jealous when he saw this. After Gui Niang left, he also went upstairs. He changed his cold attitude from last night and told her warmly that she could come to him if she had any instructions.

In this regard, Si He did have something for him to do. She had just forgotten to ask him to buy a horse. After all, if he was in a hurry, it would be better to have a horse.

When the waiter heard that someone wanted to buy a horse, his eyes immediately widened and sparkled. There was quite a lot of money to be made from buying a horse!

Si He gave the waiter a silver note. Fortunately, the note was still usable, otherwise she would have no money left.

The waiter took the banknote and left with a positive attitude.

Although the town is small, it is not difficult to buy a horse. Not long after, the waiter bought a horse. However, the horse was a little small and not a good one, but it was indeed one of the better ones in this town.

It didn't cost much to buy the horse, and he got a lot of silver in change. Si He took the larger portion of the silver and gave the rest to the waiter as a tip, asking him to prepare more food and dry provisions.

The waiter left happily and specially prepared some better food. After all, he had earned a lot of money from buying horses and tips, so naturally he had to serve well.

Si He rested in the inn for a day. It was not until the evening when the sun went down that she left the inn with her bag on her back and her cloak on.

The waiter and the handyman Gui Niang in the inn looked at her from behind, feeling sorry for her. It was a pity that she didn't stay for a few more days, and it was also a pity that a beautiful girl like her set out on the journey alone, not knowing the dangers outside, and chose to leave at night.

Soon, her figure disappeared into the dim night.

The official road is very deserted at night. People on the road look for a place to stay early or a safe place to stay, and rarely stay outside.

Si He rode on a horse, following the sensation she had previously sensed from the bone beads, and walked along the road in the general direction.

I don’t know if it was because she was lucky, or maybe it was because it was late, but she had a smooth journey.

After all, her night vision was impaired, so she didn't need to hold a torch to illuminate the road, and the horse could still gallop quickly under the hazy moonlight.

However, in the second half of the night, when she reached the entrance of a city road, she was forced to stop her horse because there was a checkpoint there.

Her previous identity was no longer usable. After all, decades had passed and she still looked like a girl. She would be exposed if she checked.

Helplessly, she could only take a detour and take the mountain road.

She walked along the mountain road, stopping and walking all the way until dawn, then she rested in a shady forest.

However, just as she was about to close her eyes and take a nap, she heard some movement in the woods in the distance. Someone was coming.

Those people seemed to be walking towards this side and talking at the same time, and the sound of their conversation could be heard faintly.

"Oh~ These days are so sad, and I don't know when they will end. I heard that the conscription of men has been very strict these past two days, and it's difficult for me to go out and buy something."

"That's right. Fortunately, those officials didn't go into the mountains. Otherwise, we would be finished."

……

The two men who were talking had a melancholy tone to them. It was obvious that they had gone into hiding in the mountains because of the conscription.

After a while, the two men saw Si He sitting under a tree. They immediately stopped talking and looked at her warily. When they found out that it was just a girl, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe he was a refugee, they thought.
