Volume 1: Absolutely No Same Parallel Universe Chapter 39: Departure

  For the next two days, I was busy because both Ruo Wei and Jin Niang were going with me. The first thing to do was to settle my "good point". The little thing seemed to know that I was leaving it, and for these two days, it had been clinging to me, making discontented humming noises in its mouth, almost making me suspect that it wasn't a cat after all.

  The day before I left, I took the goods to Guwu Courtyard to see Hong Girl. This was the result of my repeated consideration. No matter whether I came back or not, I didn't want to entrust the goods to someone I didn't know. Only by handing them over to Hong Girl could I leave with peace of mind.

  Hong Jie was delighted to see it, and held it in her arms for a long time, before turning to me with a puzzled expression: "Sister, is this a cat? I don't know why, but it doesn't look like one to me."

  The cat let out a faint "meow" in protest of Hong's dissatisfaction, and Hong scratched its neck, saying: "What kind of cat has such a short tail and folded ears? Can it catch mice?"

  "Hmm, I haven't thought about that," I said, puzzled. It's quite round and fat like a meatball, these days it just lies on my bed, if it really catches mice, I probably won't let it on the bed again, besides, it's indeed lazy enough, every day eating and playing, playing tired then sleeping, at night it sleeps so soundly that even kicking it wouldn't wake it up, where is its cat-like appearance?

  But soon I threw this problem to the back of my mind, after telling Hong Gu about my travel plans, Hong Gu smiled and told me: "Sister, just rest assured that you have a good place to stay here, when you come back, I'll send you back."

  I smiled without responding. If I could find a chance to escape this time when I go out, I would never come back to Fucheng again, and as for Hong Jie, it's likely that we will never meet again.

  I held Red Sister's hand and smiled somewhat wryly: "Sister, take care"

  Hong Gu smiled and pinched my face: "Sister, what's going on? This time back to your mother's house, it's only been a month, how did you manage to make it seem like we'll never meet again?"

  I couldn't say any more polite lies, wrinkled my nose and smiled at her, then walked away like I was escaping.

  Turned back and went to Lu Da Shi's place again, apart from going to ask him for the grappling hook and ascender he made for me, more importantly I also wanted to bid farewell to him. In my heart there was a faint premonition, this trip out, I really wouldn't be coming back.

  Luzi Feng knew I was going out and didn't ask much about the hook ring and elevator's function, but stroked his beard and reminded me: "Xiao Ningxi, don't forget to get all of the castle owner's wine cellar for me when you come back."

  My heart was bitter, but I could only smile and say to him: "Old man, don't miss those wines anymore. When there's a chance, I'll personally brew some wine for you to taste."

  I didn't lie about this, since I tasted the ancient wine, I found that their brewing methods are basically all primitive fermentation, but no one uses distillation technology. If it weren't for my current situation, I would have tried it long ago, regardless of whether it's good or bad to drink, it's always a new attempt. But, is there still such a day, it's really unknown.

  I went to the divine doctor again like a walking lantern, my farewell couldn't be too eye-catching, actually I was thinking about the strange medicine I saw in the conference hall that day. I saw the black-clothed warrior put a small bottle of medicine under the nose of the inner traitor Qi Fengxing and he immediately confessed honestly. At that time, I had already taken it to heart, thinking that this thing could only be made by the divine doctor.

  I need to be fully prepared to escape, just like when I play online games in the modern era. I always desperately collect various weapons, medicine and secret treasures to prepare for battle. But my current situation is not like playing a game at all. The only difference is that this is real life, if I'm not careful and die, I won't be able to start over again.

  It wasn't easy to gather all the things I needed, but I finally managed to pack them tightly into a small bag that I always carry with me. This bag was specially made by Jin Niang, and I only told her it was for storing some special items from my daughter's house. At the time, she didn't think much of it, because the design of the bag had already surprised her - the outside was made of dry, stitched leather, while the inside had a waterproof oilcloth lining, so even if it got soaked in water, nothing would get wet.

  I put the remaining Ice Muscle and a small bottle of Real Fragrance that I begged from the Divine Doctor into the close-fitting pouch, and finally got everything ready.

  On the third day, early in the morning, a group of people set out along that grand road I had gazed at countless times.

  Before getting on the carriage, I roughly counted and found that there were twenty-eight people in total. Apart from Ling Yi, me, Jin Niang and Ruo Wei, there were two rough-looking maidservants, a middle-aged man and a young man who seemed to be from the kitchen, likely responsible for food on this trip. The remaining twenty people were uniformed warriors.

  Apart from Ling Yi and the twenty warriors on horseback, the rest were five large horse-drawn carriages, each pulled by two tall horses. The first three carriages carried people, while the last two carried luggage, food, and other supplies.

  Adding the five big men driving the car, there were thirty-three people in total.

  The first time I sat in this ancient carriage, I was really amazed. The compartment is even bigger than a van, and it's not like the small carriages I saw on TV in my previous life. There are wooden windows on both sides of the body, and a huge canopy extends from the top to block the rain. The door is also made of wood, and there is a partition board between the driver's seat and the compartment. The driver's seat even has a sunshade, this car design is really good.

  As I entered the carriage, I was even more surprised. This entire thing is like moving a small room in here! Against the backrest is a soft couch that can be used as a bed when laid flat, with thick soft cushions on top. To prevent heat, an additional layer of woven reed matting has been added, making it cool and refreshing to sit on. In front of the couch is a low table, with soft cushions for sitting on the floor at both ends. The carriage floor is covered with soft grass mats, and there's even a small cabinet on the right side of the compartment wall. When opened, all sorts of daily necessities are inside.

  I kept secretly observing the outside environment all the way, after passing through the outer fortress surrounded by stone houses and watchtowers, there were farms and pastures, and further out was a vast grassland, with mountains rising and falling at the end of the grassland, stretching endlessly.

  On the grassland, cattle and sheep and horses of various colors are running happily. On the grassy field with green, green, and purple colors, there are more than a dozen lakes of different sizes. The lake water and the color of the grass reflect each other, shining brightly, full of vitality, and extremely beautiful.

  I felt like a bird that had suddenly broken out of its cage, and in front of this beautiful scenery, my mood was suddenly brightened. I couldn't help but gaze greedily at the outside world, which symbolized freedom and beauty.

  Jin Niang saw my expression of almost drooling and smiled: "It's very beautiful here."

  "Beauty, a beauty that cannot be described in words, the most important thing is that it is purely natural, without any pollution, no artificial traces, even the air is primitive and fresh." I muttered to myself, still staring outside in a daze.

  "Alas," Jin Niang sighed softly: "When Qing Ying first came, she wasn't like you. The beautiful scenery outside seemed to have no impact on her, and didn't even catch her attention."

  "That's for sure, she lives in a world without industry, pollution, and sparse population, everywhere is a beautiful scene, it's no wonder she's used to it."

  "No," Jin Niang suddenly ignored the words "industry" and "pollution" I mentioned, shaking her head: "Qing Ying has lived in Feng Ming country since she was a child. The mountains and rivers there are completely different from here. This grassland, cattle and sheep, she has never seen before."

  "Huh?" I turned back, looking at Jin Niang, seeing her staring at me very seriously. I was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly I got the hint - this was Jin Niang's opening line, she wanted to talk to me about something serious.
