Chapter 143: Luck Against the Heavens
didn't mention Zhiwen's greetings with Steward Zhou, but said that Xiao Si saw that Kewang's attention was obviously diverted from the four of them after seeing the new carriage, so he made a gesture covertly.
The four of them took advantage of the chaos to quietly retreat, this road is not passable, just take another way to bypass, the place is so big, the little four can be sealed if they don't believe it.
It's just that the cart of food is missing, and the temptation is a little insufficient, and when I recruit people later, I'm afraid I can only use silver to smash it, thinking of the carriage that was detained, the small four heads are big again, and there is still trouble to deal with.
The four of them disappeared into the crowd silently, attracting no attention, except for the muddy boy who had just carried the wrong grain bag, staring closely at their backs until they disappeared, and then continued to work.
Changed the direction, it didn't take much effort, Xiao Si and the three entourages came to the foot of the mountain, after all, Zhiwen and they were so people, it was impossible to seal the entire foot of the mountain.
Although the shacks are a little messy, the shacks are very clean, and there is no scene of drowning all over the ground as Xiao Si imagined.
This is Zhiwen's request, but if they stay in one place for more than two days, they will have to dig two pits, build public toilets for men and women, and temporarily rest places, and they are not allowed to defecate in the camp, and ask the refugees to go to no one to solve the problem by themselves.
Once excrement is found in the camp, then several surrounding families will have to deduct a part of the rations they earn for a day, so that no one can get along with money and food, and the environmental sanitation will naturally be better.
The refugees' clothes were tattered, but they were clean, and many of them wore felt coats, and a few even wore leather jackets.
There was no numbness or despair on the faces of the people who came and went, and they were in a hurry, as if they were busy.
This is not like a refugee camp, but like a village where life is still passable, this is the impression of Xiao Si after a short walk.
With so many people, where can you find sweaters? Xiao Si is in trouble.
Just as he was in a dilemma, a man hurried past him, carrying a sack on each shoulder, and the one on the left was smaller, heavier, and obviously grain.
The bag on the right is very large, but it looks light, and the boy's heart moved, the bag can't be wool.
At the moment, with three entourages, he hung behind the man unhurriedly, and made up his mind to follow first to see what was going on.
"the kid, the." He hadn't gone far before the man came to a shack and shouted with some excitement.
A woman poked her head out, saw the two bags of things on the man's shoulder, and asked, "Have you brought them back?" The words were not as excited as the man.
"Hurry up, spin the thread, this sweater is still waiting." After speaking, half of his body leaned out, holding a few thin and sharp wooden sticks in both hands, his hands flew up and down, and the kind of sweater that Xiao Si had worn on the wooden sticks was hanging on them.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Si was a little dumbfounded, he had such bad luck?
There are thousands of refugees here, to say the least, who have just arrived, and only walked such a way before they found someone who can make sweaters?
"This eldest brother, this sister-in-law, is polite." Since there is a request for others, it is better to lower the posture.
"Dare to ask my sister-in-law if she has a sweater in her hand?" Without waiting for the other party to return the salute, Xiao Si asked in a hurry.
"yes." The couple hurriedly returned the salute and replied.
"You guys..., do you know how to make sweaters?" The Little Four asked with joy.
"Didn't you see it all?" The woman replied, but the movement of her hands did not stop.
Xiao Si's eyes stared straight at it for a while, only to see that the sweater was taking shape extremely slowly under the woman's dazzling movements, and he was finally convinced that he had found someone.
"I don't know what you call them?" Xiao Si asked eagerly.
"How can the Zhuang people be so particular, my surname is Li, just call me Da Li."
"It turned out to be Brother Li and sister-in-law Li, I don't know where my home is? ......" Xiao Si began to get hot with the big Li couple.
People are not familiar with each other, so when they come up, they say to them, come with me, we will take care of you, who can trust you.
"Brother Li and sister-in-law Li have such magical skills, I don't know what to do?" Seeing that the heat was almost the same, Xiao Si was ready to start acting.
"Plans? Of course, knit a few more sweaters and exchange more money and food. In the eyes of the two of them, it was even necessary to ask.
Like money and food? That's good, little four.
"Brother Li and sister-in-law, I can't hide it, Xiao Ke is a big family in Jinbei, a small follower of the eldest son of the Fan family.
The prince has always had respect for craftsmen like you, and once he finds out, he will hire him back to the house with a high salary, so that you can show your skills, I don't know what the two of you think? ”
Brother Li and sister-in-law looked at each other, Xiao Si claimed to be a big follower, they believed it, not to mention anything else, the clothes worn by the four people in front of them were also reluctant to be worn by the old men in the village before, just based on the other party's empty words and white teeth, if you follow along, will it be too child's play?
Besides, the two of them don't think that knitting sweaters is a great skill, and there are more people who know how to do it, but he and his wife spin one yarn and one weave clothes, and under the division of labor and cooperation, the speed is faster than ordinary people.
With this alone, you can go to a big family? The two of them are not very sure in their hearts.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Xiao Si sighed secretly, took out four silver ingots from his baggage, handed them to the couple and said: "As long as you two are willing to leave this place and go to Fanfu Gao, these eighty taels of silver are your settlement fee." ”
The two of them were dazzled by the four ingots of white silver in an instant, and they were more and more speechless.
Seeing this, Xiao Si gritted his teeth and took out another ingot of silver, "There are still twenty taels here, which is my personal settlement allowance for you, how about it?" When Fan Yongdou ordered him, no one else was present, and Xiao Si originally wanted to take the opportunity to get some money from it.
It's just that the couple didn't say anything, thinking that they didn't think they had enough money, so they had to take out the remaining twenty taels.
However, he was so frightened by Kewang just now, and that idea was already dispelled, although there were no teenagers here, but once he moved, if the other party shouted for help, there was a chance that those young masters would be recruited.
It's just that Xiao Si didn't know that the couple didn't think they had little money, but they were already stunned when they saw eighty taels of silver, but in the end, these twenty taels did play a role, making the two of them firm in their determination to join Fanfu.
"This..., butler," Da Li said tremblingly, both excited and frightened, "it is our blessing that Gongzi and you can take a fancy to us, so please take care of us in the future." ”
After speaking, he kowtowed, and then couldn't wait to put away the five ingots of silver.
