Land
Finally, I have enough money to move west. I quit my job and buy my supplies. I was in a shop and the owner said " hi are you looking for a new way to live" and I said "yes". He gave me a piece of paper that was a ticket for land. so i took this and found a group to go with and started to move west. -
