41. Road robbery

As he thought, the little sister did not stop, and after shouting to stop the ox cart, she walked into a fabric shop, and bought a lot of cloth for her grandfather and mother.

However, this time Qingshan was a little impressed with the little sister, and the little sister who didn't like to talk in front of outsiders actually grinded the shopkeeper's half-sold half-gift with a slightly flawed cyan muslin, which he didn't expect.

I bought half a horse of gray-purple cheesecloth for my grandfather, and the younger sister said that it was because my grandfather often went to the ground, and the cheesecloth should be more wear-resistant.

Dad's is half a piece of white cotton cloth, which is enough for my mother to make a few robes for my father, and what I bought for my mother is enough cotton fabric for two sets of clothes dyed with bamboo leaf patterns, and then I asked for half a piece of floral cotton cloth, which is prepared for the sisters-in-law, so that they can share it by themselves.

By the way, there is also a little brocade, if there is no little girl from her, it is estimated that she should be unhappy, and she bought enough fabric to make two bodies, one is yellow with broken flowers, the other is light red with broken flowers, and the remaining one is a slightly flawed cyan cotton fabric.

It took a total of 22600 yuan to bring these materials down, and all the fabrics were carried to the cart, and the ox cart was almost stuffed to the brim.

Qingshan drove the ox cart nervously, but fortunately, the little sister did not continue to shout to stop, and finally got out of the gate of the county seat safely without danger.

I couldn't help but look back at the gate of the county town that was getting farther away, the two brothers of Qingshan and Qinghe really put their minds at ease, the little sister was too able to buy, and a trip down cost a total of three taels and eight hundred and sixty dollars, and some people couldn't earn more than three taels of silver in a year.

After eating and drinking enough and buying so many things on the ox cart, Xiao Qi was very satisfied, and the feeling of shopping was really refreshing.

Thinking of the rest of the silver, he said to his brothers: "Big brother and second brother, you have worked hard today, you have one or two of the remaining silver, and the rest will be handed over to your mother, as for the odds, it will naturally belong to me." ”

Hearing the little sister say this, the two brothers were immediately happy, originally they thought that all the rest would be handed over to the mother, but they didn't expect the little sister to say so, "Little sister, really give the eldest brother and the second brother one or two, it's not a joke." Qinghe confirmed to his sister-in-law.

"When did I say laugh at your sister, this is the hard money for the two of you, although I caught all of them, but you brought them to the county to sell, we are brothers and sisters, and of course you are the burden of being your brother."

Qingshan Qinghe: ...... Is it heart-piercing? This makes them feel very incompetent! But compared to the hard work, it seems incompetent, the two brothers thought about it, and suddenly felt satisfied.

Looking at his brother's helpless expression, Xiao Qi laughed secretly in his heart.

Out of the county seat, the eldest brother gradually accelerated the speed of the ox cart. Xiao Qi may have slept when he came, and he didn't feel sleepy on the way back.

When the ox cart was passing through the uninhabited woods, she was startled by a burst of birds, and she fell asleep when the woods came, so she did not know that she was going to the county seat and that she had to pass through here.

The ox cart was running in this wood, Xiao Qi inexplicably felt that this forest was quiet and terrifying, and if a person passed by here, it should still be terrifying.

"Brother, this forest is too long, why hasn't it passed yet, and if someone wants to make it bad, it's not easy here, it's uninhabited." Xiao Qi concentrated on observing the woods around, and at the same time did not forget to raise his questions.

Qingshan looked at the girl and smiled, no matter how powerful she was, she was a child after all, she touched her sister's head with her free hand, and said soothingly: "This forest has indeed robbed homes and houses, but since the victory in the war, the imperial court has been very tidy.

In addition, the common people have been able to eat enough over the years, since they are not hungry, who wants to do the business of robbing homes and houses? So what you're talking about hasn't happened in years.

And if you want to get from Beichi County to Heze Town faster, you have to pass through a forest, and the others are not without roads, but relatively speaking, you have to go around a long way, which will almost double the distance, and you will save a lot of distance by walking this way.

"Big brother! What if there is a bad guy? Xiao Qi always felt a faint uneasiness in her heart, which was very similar to what she felt when she encountered danger in the last three years of the last days, but the feeling was not so strong.

Qingshan Qinghe laughed when he heard his little sister's words, "What are you afraid of?" Your two brothers are so strong, who dares to rob, and besides, we are not rich people at first glance, except for this cow, there are some highlights, it is not cost-effective to rob us. ”

Suddenly, another wave of birds flew away in the sky not far from the ox cart, and Xiao Qi's eyes suddenly deepened, it seemed that their luck was not very good.

Since she was born, she has found that her sense of hearing, smell and vision are much more sensitive than ordinary people, as Niu Niu hurried, Xiao Qi obviously felt the wheezing sound of many people in front of her, this is not a good phenomenon, if it is not malicious, how can you hide?

"Big brother, second brother, parking." Xiao Qi suddenly made a parking sound, startling the two brothers.

"What's wrong, little sister? Is it in a hurry? Big brother will take you there. Qingshan handed the cow rope in his hand to Qinghe, and said that he was going to get off the cow and take his sister to solve the internal emergency.

"It's not."

"What? What is a little sister not? Aoyama was confused by his sister for a while.

"It's not an internal emergency, it's an external urgency, and there is danger ten meters in front of the eldest brother and the second brother." Xiao Qi said unhurriedly.

"Take it." Qingshan Qinghe was forced to take the wooden stick in the little sister's hand, and he didn't have time to wonder where the wooden stick came from? Subconsciously looked ahead along the little sister's line of sight, but didn't find anything?

"Here" The brothers looked at their sister, who was also holding a wooden stick, and how could they feel that their sister's words were always incomprehensible to them.

These doubts did not last long, but in a moment, a group of people came out more than ten meters in front of the ox cart, holding wooden sticks and machetes in their hands, all of them fierce and vicious, and they were not good stubbles at first glance.

"Little sister, the danger you said is them, little sister, can we discuss? The next time you talk about things, just say it, don't be so tactful, my brothers are afraid that they won't be able to bear it. Qinghe looked at the crowd in front of him and whispered in his sister's ear.

This surprised Xiao Qi, the brothers who usually looked cowardly in front of their father and mother did not look cowardly at the moment, on the contrary, the eldest brother and the second brother were full of war intent in their eyes, but they were not afraid, and protected her tightly behind him, seeing that the warmth in Xiao Qi's eyes flashed.

"Do you remember the moves your grandfather taught? Wait a while, if you don't strike preemptively with a stick, you will be beaten. ”

"Don't worry, little sister, your brother is invincible in the village, and no one dares to provoke in the academy, brothers protect you." In such a tense atmosphere, the second brother didn't forget to show off himself, which made Xiao Qi cry and laugh.

Qingshan sat firmly on the ox cart and drove the ox cart up, seemingly ignoring the crowd in front of him, but Xiao Qi could feel that the eldest brother's body had been tense and ready at all times.

When the two parties got closer and closer, the group of people in front of them lined up, and a total of seven people completely blocked the road.

One of them, a slender man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek and a machete in his hand, stepped forward.

"Brother, my brother has been short of money recently, hand over all the money you have, and your oxcart is good, so this oxcart will be honored to the brothers."

Qingshan Qinghe jumped off the ox cart one by one, and when he came down, he didn't forget to tell his sister to stay in the car, pretending to be honest on his face.

Aoyama said in a trembling voice, "Big brothers! You see we are all poor, where is the money? This ox cart is not ours, and the people from the village who borrowed it really can't give it to you. ”
