The boy immediately pulled out several yellowed envelopes from his pocket, which he had been carrying close to his body.

"Brother Qin, here you go."

After receiving the letter and carefully opening it, Qin Ning found that most of the contents were about everyday matters, such as how prosperous the Great Xia was, how cultivation was not as easy as he had imagined, and how he could save up some more money to bring them here to live a good life.

It seems that they are not much different from those men and women who went to big cities to make a living in the past, just like what their families said.

Silently note down the handwriting and return the letter to the sender.

"What are your older sister's physical characteristics?"

"He's a head shorter than Miss Feng, has very dark skin, and his hair is short, but not as short as yours... He has three moles on the left side of his neck, above his collarbone."

Qin Ning mentally noted everything down: "Okay, but how should I contact you if I find it? Morigen is heading deep into the grasslands tomorrow."

Aman wasn't too worried about this: "My sister grew up on the grasslands. If you see her, just tell her we went to our usual spot, and she'll know how to find us."

"Okay, I promise to help you find your older sister."

Having received permission, Aman pulled the barefoot boy, who looked unwilling, away.

Qin Ning hadn't taken two steps when the little black cat suddenly darted out from some corner, skillfully climbed onto his shoulder, and let out a loud burp.

Mmm, it smells like grass.

"Did you go and fight with the cows and horses for food?" Qin Ning casually tapped the little cat's head. After recovering, the little guy had a strong desire to explore the outside world.

He slipped out of the tent while he was dozing and only returned now.

Meow~

......

The next morning, the sky was still a bluish-gray.

A loud shout roused the silent Morgen tribe.

The sounds of horses' hooves, galloping, and wheels rolling over the grass mingled together.

Outside the tribe.

The burly old man led two tall horses with one hand and carried two large packages in the other.

Several young men stood beside him, and two short boys who had come to see him off stood out among the group.

Qin Ning changed into a long-sleeved shirt and trousers that were convenient for riding. He was tall and straight but not bulky, so the men's clothing in the tribe fit him perfectly. Because he had short hair, he even asked a burly old man for a sheepskin hat to cover it up.

Feng Hanying wore a black and gold narrow-sleeved jacket over a bright red vest embroidered with several metal buttons. Five copper coins and a small silver abacus still hung at her waist. She had changed into a black riding skirt, embroidered with cherry blossoms in silver thread, for easier riding.

The inner trousers and knee-length trousers are also in black and silver.

She looked less alluring and more dashing.

...Judging by my clothes, I look like Feng Hanying's attendant," Qin Ning thought to himself as he walked to the burly old man's side and took the reins.

"Doctor Qin, this contains dry rations, and the water pouch is on the saddle. In addition, I have also prepared some gifts and silverware for you in the package." The old man said, glancing at Feng Hanying, "The tribe really doesn't have much gold and silver left, so I hope you won't find it too much."

Qin Ning smiled and casually took the package: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

"According to custom, when bidding farewell to distinguished guests, we should slaughter horses and sheep to hold a grand farewell banquet. However, our ministry has just suffered such a great calamity, and it is truly..."

Seeing the ashamed look on the burly old man's face, he waved his hand to stop him.

"We've been through thick and thin together, no need for formalities. Please take good care of these two children for me in the future; consider it a farewell feast."

As Qin Ning spoke, he tossed the cat onto the horse's back and pointed to two short boys among a group of burly men.

The two of them acted like NPCs; when they saw Qin Ning looking over, their smiles immediately brightened even more.

"must."

"Alright, we're still quite far from Blood Rain Fortress, so I won't waste any more time on pleasantries. I wish the Morigen tribe peace, and I hope we'll meet again someday."

After Qin Ning finished speaking, he mounted his horse.

The burly old man took a half step back, placed his right hand on his left shoulder, bowed slightly, and muttered incantations.

"May the Eternal Heaven bless Physician Qin and Miss Feng with a safe and smooth journey, and may they enjoy good health and be free from any misfortune!"

Several young men behind him followed suit, bowing and shouting:

"May the Eternal Heaven bless Physician Qin and Miss Feng with a safe and smooth journey, and may they enjoy good health and be free from any misfortune!"

The sound drowned out the noise in the tribe.

After a brief silence, similar words began to be faintly heard from within the tribe.

At first, their words were somewhat incoherent, but within a dozen breaths, the phrase "May the Eternal Heaven bless Doctor Qin and Miss Feng with a safe and smooth journey, and may they enjoy good health and be free from disasters!" echoed throughout much of the Morigen tribe.

hiss~~

Qin Ning, on horseback, raised an eyebrow. "No, this scene is so grand, it's almost touching."

With clasped hands and a respectful bow, Qin Ning met the gaze of the burly old man and revealed a bright smile.

"See you later, I'm leaving!"

......

The two rode their horses southwards.

As dusk fell, they found a stream, lit a fire, and rested.

"Old Gong picked out two good horses. At this rate, we should be able to reach Blood Rain Fortress by tomorrow night."

Feng Hanying stood by the stream, bent down and took off her boots, revealing her two fair and delicate feet.

The old man she mentioned was the leader of the Morigen tribe.

Qin Ning watched as the other person stepped barefoot into the downstream stream... From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, this would damage her Yang energy. The Yongquan point on the sole of her foot is the well point of the kidney meridian, the root of all Yang energy in the body... Isn't she afraid of developing a cold uterus?

Oh, she can manipulate the power of the five elements herself, then it's alright.

"What are you thinking about?" A faint crimson glow emanated from around Feng Hanying's feet, blocking the slight coolness of the stream.

"It's nothing..." Qin Ning shook his head, took a small sip of water from the horse's saddlebag, and opened the backpack containing dry rations.

It was filled with a lot of dried meat and milk tablets.

In addition, there were many loose silver pieces and an exquisite dagger inlaid with an amber gemstone.

"Old Gong even gave you this!"

Feng Hanying sat down by the stream, turned around, and looked surprised.

Qin Ning drew the dagger and examined it by the firelight. The blade was thick and the edges were sharp, clearly indicating that it had been carefully maintained by its original owner.

"It looks like a treasure, but what's the deeper meaning behind it?"

"This is Old Man Gong's personal belongings. On the northern grasslands, only extremely distinguished guests can receive gifts from tribal chiefs."

"That is indeed very precious."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ning put away the dagger, softened the milk tablets by the campfire, and began feeding them to the little black cat lying on her lap.

However, the other party was clearly more interested in the dried meat.

Feng Hanying soaked in the stream for a while longer, then used her fire elemental power to dry the water off her feet, before wiping her soft hands around her waist.

He suddenly had a new pair of boots in his hands.

Seeing that her actions had attracted Qin Ning's attention, she smiled and took off the five copper coins from her waist and spread them in her palm.

"The Mohist creation is called the Ink Pouch, and its shape is customizable. The inside is 5 feet long and 5 feet wide, and it cannot be used to store living things."

Sure enough... although this place is very similar to my previous ancient world, the things that pop up from time to time remind me that this is a world with cultivators.

"This stuff must be expensive, right?" Qin Ning asked curiously, a milk tablet in her mouth.

"Hmm, it's about the same price as the Yin-Yang Array Flag you captured."

Feng Hanying blinked, put on her boots, and sat down next to Qin Ning.

"Do you want it?"
