Chapter 25: I'm Just Kidding
Zhongli Youyou dragged Qin Jue and ran.
It was rare that Qin Jue did not object, and went to the money village with her to exchange for a thousand taels of silver and immediately returned to the dock, and those people were still crying.
Zhongli looked at the water of the Yangtze River in a faint way, and it seemed to have risen a little.
Qin Jue opened the cash box and was about to send money, Zhongli cautiously pressed his hand, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "The wealth is not exposed, it is easy for us to be targeted by thieves when we send money like this, let's find someone to help send it." β
"If you find someone to help, no one will know that I did a good thing, so I have to send it myself. Don't worry, it's not so coincidental to be targeted by thieves. β
Qin Jue said and opened the cash box and tore Qingyue's throat: "Don't cry, everyone, there is money here, everyone comes to line up, one person receives five taels, everyone has a share." β
When they heard that there was money, everyone stopped crying, wiped away their tears and happily rushed to line up.
Everyone received five taels of silver, knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Jue, saying that he was Guanyin Bodhisattva, and if the Buddha came to the world, there would never be a better person in the world than him.
Qin Jue was said lightly and waved his hand.
"With a gesture, you don't have to be polite, let's find a way to see how to leave the state."
The crowd thanked them again and again and left.
There were still more than three hundred taels in the cash box, and Qin Jue was just about to close the box, when dozens of men between fifteen and seventy years old in rough clothes and short brown and straw sandals came over and bowed.
"This uncle, please give us some money too, we are almost out of food. Because of the drought in the paddy fields, our harvest is small, but in the past two years, we have paid more taxes than in previous years, and we can't live at all. β
Looking at how they dressed, even the peasants were quite pitiful.
"Let's divide five taels for each of you."
Qin Jue asked them to line up, and began to divide the money again, each person divided five taels, and there were fifty taels left.
The men saw it too, staring at the cash box with red eyes.
Seeing that Qin Jue and Zhongli Youyou were both shivering, they didn't want to rob it, right?
Soon, a tall man in his forties confirmed the two people's thoughts and said viciously: "This money should also be given to us." β
Zhongli asked tentatively, "What if you don't give it?" β
"Don't think about leaving if you don't give it."
The men also came from nowhere, and one of them surrounded them with one of them.
Zhongli Youyou and Qin Jue looked at them nervously, revealing a kind smile.
Zhongli Youyou said, "I'm just kidding, you guys line up like just now, and I'll give it to you." β
The men obediently went to line up, Zhongli squatted down and quickly secretly put the silver into his purse and stuffed it into his arms, and when Qin Jue didn't know what to do, she suddenly picked up the box and pulled him: "Run." β
Qin Jue ran after her lifeless in shock, and the men chased after her lifelessly, seeing that they were about to catch up, Zhongli Youyou threw the box into the river and turned from the river embankment into the side path.
Half of the people went to fish for the boxes, and half of them came to chase the two.
Qin Jue ran sweating like rain.
As he ran, he said, "Did you lose your money?" Give them the money and they won't be chased. β
Zhongli gasped and said, "You are too naΓ―ve. They are robbers, insatiable, and they may come to rob us of the money after they take the money, and then we will really be destitute. β
Qin Jue listened to it with cold sweat and hot sweat.
He looked back, he had already thrown off the bandits a street, and saw that there was an alley next to him, so he pulled Zhongli Youyou: "Go this way." β
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned the corner, he collided with a skinny little man.
The thin man was staggered by the two of them, and as the burden on his body fell down, he actually fainted, and Qin Jue and Zhong Li quickly held him up.
Zhongli patted his face: "Wake up." β
The man then opened his eyes and looked blankly at the two of them.
"You knocked me down?"
Qin Jue just wanted to settle the matter and leave quickly: "We can give you money." β
The man was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no." β
I smeared oil on the soles of my feet and ran away.
Qin Jue and Zhong Li were inexplicable.
Suddenly, Zhongli's ghostly light flashed, and he quickly untied his baggage, leaving only a mass of rags inside.
β......β
Qin Jue was also shocked to untie his burden, and he was not surprised to see a ball of rags.
He was dizzy and shook, Zhongli Youyou grabbed his shoulder and shook it vigorously: "Don't get dizzy yet, let's chase it immediately." β
Wake up the person in the dream with a word, Qin Jue immediately seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and he was resurrected with full blood.
The two of them returned along the road, and happened to encounter robbers who came after them.
Zhongli Youyou turned his head and was about to run, Qin Jue pulled her: "Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, now they are richer than us, I just took this opportunity to ask for the money back." β
The men stared at the two of them fiercely.
Qin Jue rubbed his hands: "Our money was stolen by thieves just now, you return my money now." β
The men were silent, and then suddenly scattered and fled, disappearing in an instant.
Qin Jue Zhongli was quiet: "......"
The money is either not returned, so you can only go to the thief.
Half a day passed, but there was no shadow of the thief, and the two fell down on the edge of a well.
Zhongli let out a long breath: "Let's rest first, there are some things you can't find when you want to look for them, and if you don't look for him, he will appear in front of him by himself." β
Qin Jue wiped his sweat: "Let's eat something first." β
"The money has been stolen, where is the money to buy something to eat."
"Don't you have fifty taels of silver?"
The thief must be a thief, and he stole 100,000 taels of silver tickets without knowing it, and it is impossible to keep 50 taels for them for the New Year.
Zhongli touched his arms with hopelessness, and his eyes lit up instantly, the fifty taels were really there.
The thief's heart is not even blackened.
It happened that there was someone selling melons not far in front, and Qin Jue took a tael of silver to buy it.
Zhongli looked at the well, put the wooden bucket down and hung half a bucket of water up, picked up the wooden spoon next to him and was about to eat and drink, when he heard a conversation in his ear.
"Did the letter go?"
"Sent. Within three days, he would automatically deliver things to his door. β
She turned her head and saw three men talking as they unleashed their horses, one of them was thin and small, but with a round face with baby fat, dressed in gray clothes.
Her eyes widened.
It really didn't take much effort to get it.
She walked over with a wooden spoon and knocked two of the men unconscious with two "bangs". Her momentum was so strong that the skinny man looked at her in horror and stepped back.
She glanced at the man's baggage, and the man immediately hugged him.
She sneered: "I'll see where you're going." β
The man circled around the horse and said in a trembling voice, "If you have something to discuss, don't come here." β
Zhongli Youyu struck a wooden spoon at him, and he avoided it and hit it from this side.
Qin Jue held the melon and before he walked to the well, he saw Zhongli Youyou and a man entangled, the man suddenly turned around and jumped on the horse, tied the horse away, and she also jumped on the horse and ran.
