Chapter 57: Into the City
Besides, even if it was just a lump of wood, as long as it was given by Zhan Qianche, it was impossible for her to let others take it again.
After putting the wrench, seeing that the Zhao family still didn't react, Bai Qianning cleared his throat and asked again: "Are you dumb?" Speak! ”
"You, you really don't want to run?"
Liu Cuiping held her old waist while panting, and looked at Bai Qianning in disbelief and asked.
"If I want to run, I still have to stand here and talk nonsense to you, I'm going to the county to earn money now, which of you will lead the way for me?"
Bai Qianning clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked at the Zhao family in front of him, who was still out of breath, and asked.
Hearing her say this, Zhao Tiezhu, who was most familiar with the surrounding situation, hurriedly said: "Go, go to the county?" It would take a whole day just to walk back and forth, and how much silver can you earn the rest of the time? ”
"Nonsense!" Bai Qianning interrupted him and only said: "Wang Gongzi said that if you want to go to Chechi County, you only need to climb a mountain, why does it take so long?" ”
"Over the mountain? I think you're going to die! Zhao Tiezhu seemed a little excited in his words, and the other three people standing next to him were also full of surprise, only thinking that this girl was either crazy or in a hurry to die.
"Don't you know that Beishan is connected to the mountain bandits' nest? Over the years, no one who has gone up Beishan has come back alive. If you want to go to Chechi County, you must take a detour along the mountain stream. ”
Zhao Tiezhu explained while rubbing his sore knee.
It's not that he is kind, it's just that if something happened to Bai Qianning, his twenty taels of silver would not be found.
Hearing him say this, Bai Qianning also remembered what Zhan Qianche had said before, the bandits in Beishan Mountain were rampant. I thought for a moment before asking, "Is there a handlebar type in the village?" The ox carts and carriages were all completed, and we took the car around the road. ”
"Yes, but do you have the money to pay for the car? Don't point us at paying for you. ”
Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly expressed his attitude, he still doubted whether Bai Qianning could take out twenty taels of silver within three days, how could he still rush in and paste the money backwards.
Bai Qianning didn't intend to take advantage of this weasel, but said: "Don't worry, you don't need to give me money, you go and help me find it, just say that I will use the prey to offset the silver, and Wang Qi will be the guarantor." ”
"What does it count?"
Zhao Tiezhu was a little skeptical, but remembering that Zhan Qianche stood up to help Bai Qianning speak yesterday and promised to give the villagers prey, he also dispelled some doubts, and without waiting for Bai Qianning to answer, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call, you guys are waiting here." ”
Soon, an old man wearing a hat galloped towards this side with a carriage, and Zhao Tiezhu sat next to the old man. This carriage is not the kind with a carriage behind it, but a carriage that pulls straw goods on weekdays, and there is no shelter on the carriage, and people can only sit in the back trough.
Stopping the carriage, Bai Qianning repeatedly promised that he would use two chickens as the travel fee, and under the cover of clothes, he picked two peaches from the space and handed them to the old man, and he agreed to send them to the county.
Bai Qianning got into the carriage, and saw that Liu Cuiping's mother and daughter were about to come up, so she took out the peach from her arms, took a bite, and said slowly: "This carriage is what I called, you can follow, but you can only walk." ”
"You, you want to exhaust us?"
Zhao Daniu was the first to speak out, joking, she is a big girl who doesn't go out of the door on weekdays, can she suffer this crime?
"That's it, you obviously want to get rid of us, no, you have to let us get in the car."
Zhao Erniu also added angrily.
"Good! You can take a car, but there are too many of you, and you can't all sit on this horse slower than walking? If you must go, only two people will follow, and you will decide which two you will do. ”
While Bai Qianning was talking, half of a peach had already been gnawed, and he deliberately smacked his mouth and raised his eyebrows to throw the question to the Zhao family.
Zhao Tiezhu heard her say this, although he was worried, but after thinking about it, are there two people who are still afraid of her running away? can only agree: "It's okay, the second girl will follow me into the city, and the eldest girl will go back with your mother, and take care of the little one." ”
In the second half of the sentence, Zhao Tiezhu lowered his voice very low, glanced at Liu Cuiping, and gave her a reminder.
Liu Cuiping was not at ease, but after Zhao Tiezhu's reminder, she remembered that there was still a small one in the village in her hand, and she was not afraid that Bai Qianning would not come back, so she agreed to come down and pulled Zhao Dayu to turn around and go back.
In this way, there were only four people left in the carriage, Bai Qianning, Zhao Tiezhu and Zhao Erniu.
The old man surnamed Qin, who drove the car, is one of the few households in the village with a horse-drawn carriage, and has an important means of transportation for the villagers to purchase materials in and out of the village.
Bai Qianning didn't want to deal with the father and daughter of the Zhao family, so she chatted with Uncle Qin all the way, and by the way, she took out a lot of melon seeds and fruits from her arms and handed them to Uncle Qin, which made Uncle Qin smile happily and his face was full of wrinkles, and he almost recognized her as a goddaughter.
On the other hand, Zhao Tiezhu's father and daughter were hung all the way in vain, and they couldn't say anything, and their saliva was about to be hooked out.
The fruits picked by Bai Qianning from the space are all sweet and crisp, fresh and juicy, and the melon seeds and peanuts were originally taken out of the seed warehouse, and naturally they are all big and full.
Zhao Erniu listened to the sound of swallowing melon seeds all the way, and wanted to reach out to Bai Qianning several times to ask for a little, but she was not embarrassed to speak, so she could only swallow saliva in her throat.
Bai Qianning naturally deliberately aroused their gluttony, seeing that the faces of the Zhao family's father and daughter were becoming more and more aggrieved, the corners of Bai Qianning's lips hooked up a smile.
Seeing that he was about to enter the county seat, Bai Qianning peeled the last melon seed in his hand and threw it in his mouth, turned his head to look at Zhao Daniu, pretended to suddenly remember something, and said busily: "Look at me, I had so much fun chatting with Uncle Qin, I forgot to hand you something to eat." ”
As he spoke, he put his hand in his arms and pulled it left and right.
Zhao Erniu saw that she was willing to bring food for herself, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand in front of Bai Qianning with anticipation, ready to accept feeding.
Bai Qianning's face changed from relaxed to dignified, followed by a touch of imperceptible cunning, and he looked up and said after exploring his chest with one hand on his chest for a long time: "I'm sorry, I've eaten all the things, next time, if there is still one for you." ”
After saying this, Uncle Qin's carriage also stopped. A smile slipped across Bai Qianning's face, and he jumped to the side with his feet briskly, and got out of the carriage.
Zhao Erniu, who stretched out her hands but didn't even wait for a melon seed, sat in the carriage and was so angry that her teeth itched. And although Zhao Tiezhu is not as angry as Zhao Daniu, his face is as black as carbon.
"Why are you stunned, don't come down quickly." Bai Qianning looked careless, shouted, turned his head to Uncle Qin and said, "Thank you, Uncle Qin, you go back first, I will personally send the chickens to your house later." ”
"Done! Then I'll go back first. ”
Uncle Qin replied very happily, and when the Zhao family's father and daughter got out of the car, they drove the carriage back to turn around.
Seeing that the people were gone, Bai Qianning walked in the direction of the city gate by himself, although the father and daughter of the Zhao family were uncomfortable, they could only hurry up.
Right now, Bai Qianning is a moving snowflake silver, if they are let go, they can crash to death at the city gate.
Bai Qianning walked to the city gate, and the three golden characters of Chechi County were hung on the city wall, which made people feel very magnificent.
When it comes to making money, she can actually choose a few nearby towns, and the reason why she must come to Chechi County is to see the prosperity described by Zhan Qianche, and to plan for the future.
There were twenty or thirty guards at the city gate, but it seemed that it was only a deterrent, and there was no interrogation of the people who came in and out, and Bai Qianning and the father and daughter of the Zhao family quickly entered the city gate.
Looking at the crowd of people wearing silk or yellow satin shirts on the street, and then looking down at their clothes, Bai Qianning suddenly had a feeling of begging along the street in his heart, which was too cold, or that the county was too prosperous.
As far as the eye can see, there are two to three storey carved attics, and the streets are full of business vendors and people buying supplies, and the eyes are full of thriving scenes, as if they have accidentally broken into the street market in the picture of the Qing people's river.
This shocked Bai Qianning, who was used to living in a modern metropolis, and she judged that the emperor of this country governed the world very well and was a virtuous monarch, but she didn't know what kind of waves would be set off in Zhan Qianche's ears if such a judgment was heard.
