The shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter and nodded his head when he saw the herbs in the basket, and his face showed joy.

"Great, you handled this herb very well, I want it all, the price, this dandelion is cheaper, three hundred dollars, but mint and honeysuckle, even if you have five taels of silver, after all, the amount is not much."

Li Jinyan looked at Xia Sihan when he heard this, the latter thought for a moment and nodded, and the shopkeeper immediately took out two ingots of silver and handed them to them.

Xia Sihan handed Huzi a piece, pretended to ask for tea and sat in the pharmacy, and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, just now when we entered the city, we saw a notice posted at the door, what happened here?" ”

"You're not local, are you?"

The shopkeeper refilled the tea for them, Li Jinyan thanked them with a weak hand, shook his head and said: "We came from the town, and by the way, we changed the herbs and bought some items to bring back, and we were stopped at the city gate for a while before we were released." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, and saw that they did not look like people from the city, and sighed lightly:

"I'm afraid that this world is going to be chaotic, the person posted at the gate of the city heard that he came from the capital, assassinated some big man, chased all the way here, these days the city can be strictly investigated, if you have nothing to do, you will go out of the city early, even the accommodation has to check the household registration, it is very troublesome!"

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Xia Sihan's heart sank, it was noon now, and they had two hours left at most.

When the tea bowl was about to be returned, Xia Sihan and Li Jinyan got up and went out, and Huzi followed.

As soon as he walked out of the pharmacy, there was an exclamation in front of him, and then a sound of horses' hooves came, Xia Sihan fixed his eyes, and the tall horse rode a big man wearing the uniform of the patrol battalion, followed by a team of people and horses, and rushed all the way over.

The people passing by were almost trampled to death by the horses' hooves before they could dodge, and suddenly there was a scream and wail.

"Hey, in order to arrest people, the people are making trouble every day, and they are running on the street in the blue sky and daytime, which is just a matter of careless human life!"

"Don't talk about it, if you hear it, you will be arrested and punished!"

Xia Sihan turned around and saw an old man covering the mouth of a junior and dragging him to the corner.

And everywhere the horse's hooves went, it was a mess.

Li Jinyan walked over and helped an old man who had accidentally fallen to pick him up, walked to the side of the road and sat down.

He was born in Lijia Village for so many years, even if Li Zheng made things difficult for him in every way, he had never encountered such a flamboyant and domineering official.

Seeing this situation today, Li Jinyan became more and more dissatisfied with this world, but unfortunately he didn't have much ability, otherwise he would have chased after him to seek justice.

However, he also knows that now that he has a family, everything should be based on Xia Sihan's safety.

Li Jinyan returned to Xia Sihan's side, saw her frowning, hugged her shoulders and said, "Let's go back, otherwise we will encounter an interrogation in a while, and we will have to delay time." ”

"Wait a minute, I've finally come to the city, and you have to ask Huzi to bring something back! I also look at the embroidery thread and the fabric. ”

Xia Sihan saw that there was a trace of worry on his face, and hurriedly added: "At most, an hour, how about going to eat first?" ”

Li Jinyan could only agree.

The three of them pushed a wheelbarrow to a nearby bridge, sat under the bridge and ate dry food.

Huzi brought a nest head, Xia Sihan opened the blanket, in addition to the clothes and two pieces of pancakes, it was made by Li Jinyan in the morning, the three of them shared the dry food and ate it, Xia Sihan clapped his hands, re-tied the blanket, and was about to leave, but saw a pair of eyes under the culvert at the bottom of the bridge, and she sat on the ground in fright

！

"What's wrong Sihan!"

Li Jinyan hurriedly helped her up, Huzi also stood beside her, Xia Sihan looked at those eyes, pointed to the direction of the culvert and let Li Jinyan look over.

What kind of eyes are they?

Li Jinyan remembered it many years later.

Those eyes were full of fierceness, and although they hid under the culvert, they did not show the slightest timidity.

When he saw them, he did not panic, but vigilantly touched the dagger at his waist.

Xia Sihan calmed down after being frightened, and hurriedly pulled Li Jinyan and Huzi back.

But the man showed half of his face, lifted his chin, and motioned for them to bring the blanket.

Xia Sihan saw that he was a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that the portrait posted on the notice at the city gate was not this person?

She hurriedly threw the rest of the dry food in the blanket over, and gave him two taels of silver in it.

Seeing this, the man took out a green thing from his bosom and threw it over, and said in a low voice: "I am a person from the capital, and I have fled here after being victimized by traitors. ”

"The city gate is very strictly checked, if you can escape, think about repaying it!"

Xia Sihan's words made the man stunned, he smiled, retracted into the culvert, Xia Sihan didn't speak, looked left and right, and hurriedly pulled Li Jinyan and Huzi away.

"Huzi, no one can say anything about today, remember?"

Li Jinyan calmed down and told Huzi, who nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother Jin, don't worry, I won't say it, but in this way, you guys have run for nothing today." ”

"As long as you are safe, there will be opportunities to make money in the future, and besides, don't you still get more than two taels of silver? It's not in vain. ”

Li Jinyan could see it, and happily reminded Huzi, who touched the silver in his arms and smiled.

Their family farms every day, and the harvest of a year of hunting is only more than ten taels of silver, and now he earns more than two taels in one trip, and he doesn't need capital, he is already very satisfied.

Xia Sihan on the side pinched the green jade pendant tightly, and had to find a chance to hide it, but the three of them walked together, and she couldn't hide it for a while.

That's it, put it in your arms for the time being.

Huzi pushed a wheelbarrow to buy some rice and seeds, and pulled two pieces of cloth for his daughter-in-law, spending a total of 500 yuan.

Xia Sihan went to the embroidery workshop to buy silk thread, and went to the cloth village to buy a few slightly brightly colored fabrics back.

She figured out that if she could work on the style, she might be able to make up for the dullness of the color.

While Huzi and Li Jinyan were waiting outside the door, Xia Sihan finally found an opportunity to hide the jade pendant in the space in the cloth village.

The three of them packed up and pushed the vehicle back.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw a dark patch in front of them, and soon a group of men and horses came and drove them to both sides.

Xia Sihan saw that there seemed to be a big man coming over, so he pulled Li Jinyan to retreat behind the crowd.

A large number of people came to block the people on both sides of the road, and then a limp chariot with a colorful mat came over.

The people in the car faintly revealed a sense of majesty, and their fierce eyes oppressed everyone, where had ordinary people seen such a scene, and they didn't dare to look up at each other.
