The men in the village didn't know how to respond.

That's a lot of money.

What they care more about is how much money Zhang Xiaolei has.

Greed, rises in everyone's heart.

Zhang Xiaolei seemed to see what these people were thinking, suddenly stood up, and said, "Aunts, please go back to the house, I want to take off my clothes." ”

The women hurriedly walked back to the house, but saw Zhang Xiaolei undressing in front of these men, took out some silver, and said, "All the money is here, one hundred taels will be returned to you to return the child, and the silver will buy the stewed chicken." ”

"You don't have much money on you, why are you still doing this...... someone asked, "aren't you afraid that we will take the money and not pay back the children?" ”

Zhang Xiaolei said softly: "I will pass by Shangyuan Village, and when the time comes, I will take a look to know if you have returned the child." ”

"What if you don't pay it back?"

"If you don't pay it back, I will naturally tell the people of Shangyuan Village about this place, do you want to lose the farmland house here and run away?"

Someone said coldly: "Threaten us? In the wilderness here, no one will know how many people have died! ”

Zhang Xiaolei spread his hands and said: "It's okay, it's good to kill me and you divide a hundred taels of silver equally, but it's ......"

He changed his words and chuckled: "If you don't kill me, if you don't have a daughter-in-law, marry a daughter-in-law, if you can't give birth to a child, buy a concubine, and then return the child, live a peaceful life, which one do you say?" ”

People were silent.

a hundred taels of silver.

There is not much money to divide evenly.

Finally, a man spoke: "You can't kill, he's a man." ”

"Yes, there may be retribution for killing."

"Forget it, return the child, what people say is that it's good to have one yourself."

Under the advice of these people, the atmosphere finally warmed up.

Zhang Xiaolei put on his clothes again, and he chuckled: "A few people know the current affairs." ”

"It's not that we know the current affairs, but we respect you as a man...... someone raised his glass, "and we'll be on the road early tomorrow morning, with our children and tickets." If the ticket can be worth it, we will go to Shangyuan Village. If you can't get the value, bring the child back. ”

Zhang Xiaolei smiled: "Cheng, cheers." ”

"Cheers."

People toasted Zhang Xiaolei one after another, and after the meal, the stewed chicken was also served.

The family also vacated their own house and let Zhang Xiaolei live in it.

Zhang Xiaolei sat on the bench at the door, he looked at the stewed chicken beside him, and suddenly remembered Li Fengwu.

Eating chicken for the first time in 10 years after being abducted.

It was Li Fengwu who was sandwiched in his bowl.

"Sir, three thousand seven hundred taels of silver, I estimate that I will use it soon, I will save one hundred taels and leave it for my father and mother......," he muttered, "Is what I am doing worth it?" ”

He couldn't figure it out.

Value.

Still not worth it.

The children weren't kidnapped by him, he had just seen it with his own eyes, and he just happened to know about it.

Zhang Xiaolei felt that he was innocent.

It's just that he doesn't want to see other people's flesh and blood separated.

The pain of those ten years made him understand this pain best.

He smiled wryly, took another drink, and took a bite of the chicken wings in his mouth.

"Well, there's something delicious."

When he had eaten and drunk enough, he fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, several men in the village had already taken their children and were heading for Maicheng.

It's not far from here to Maicheng, and if you walk, you can reach it at dusk.

When people saw Zhang Xiaolei wake up, someone brought a few pieces of bread and said to him: "Friend, since you are taking this road, why will you have to eat these cakes in the afternoon when you go to the next village." ”

Zhang Xiaolei took the cake and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

"Thank you for your vote."

"You're welcome."

He did not stay long in the village, but when he left the village, he made a detour, stopped at a wasteland, dug up the land there, and took out from it the tickets and gold nuggets that had been stored in the village yesterday.

Continue on your way.

Although it was a daytime for others to go to Cloud City, Zhang Xiaolei was different.

He took a detour for five days.

Before entering a village, he would hide the ticket and repeat the old trick so that the child could be returned.

When he finally came to Maicheng, there were only three thousand seven hundred taels of silver, and only three thousand taels remained.

One of the villages is larger, and there are many children who buy it.

In that village, he spent two hundred taels.

Maicheng is somewhat prosperous, and it is not inferior to Cloud City.

He stood outside the city gate, looking at the lively wheat city, and suddenly felt a little relaxed.

I didn't miss a single village on the road.

At the gate of Maicheng, there was a group of people around, looking at the notice on the city gate.

Zhang Xiaolei also came here, patted one of them on the shoulder, and said curiously: "Brother, what kind of notice is that?" ”

The man said, "Do you think I look like a literate person?" ”

"And what are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for someone to read it to me, who knows there aren't many literate people here!"

Zhang Xiaolei suddenly realized, so he shouted: "If you don't know how to read, come out, I'll go in and read." ”

After he finished shouting, a few people really got out of the way.

Zhang Xiaolei stepped forward, saw the notice above, and suddenly smiled.

On the notice, a simple line is written.

Xiao Lei, have a good journey - Xiao Linggong of the Shao family in Yuncheng.

This Shao Xiaoling.

also calls himself Xiao Linggong.

It is estimated that I want people to think that the current Shao family is in charge of a man.

obviously said goodbye, but she also asked people to hurry up and come here to post a notice.

Presumably, several cities around Cloud City have been posted with notices by her.

At this time, someone was curious: "Brother, what is written on it?" ”

Zhang Xiaolei smiled: "Actually, I don't know how to read, I just want to come in and have a look." ”

"Phew!"

"Liar!"

Zhang Xiaolei grabbed the back of his head and entered Maicheng.

With Shao Xiaoling's character, it is estimated that he is jumping on his feet in Cloud City at this time, cursing him with sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet.

Thinking of Shao Xiaoling's possible appearance, Zhang Xiaolei couldn't help but want to laugh.

He sorted out his mood and went to Maicheng to exchange tickets.

When he exchanged the membership ticket, he exchanged 1,500 taels for the next city's membership ticket, so that it was convenient to act on the road.

After exchanging tickets, there is a teahouse on the street outside.

There is a flag on the teahouse with a teapot painted on it.

It is a tea soup house in Maicheng.

Zhang Xiaolei entered the tea soup house, which was quite lively, people were sitting on the bench drinking tea, eating wine, and shouting loudly.

When the shopkeeper saw Zhang Xiaolei, he hurriedly asked, "Guest officer, what do you want?" ”

Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile: "Tea soup house, sit down and eat tea." ”

"Sit down, officer."

He sat on the bench when two more people entered the tea bathhouse.

The two men were ragged and their faces dirty.

When he came in, he said to the shopkeeper: "Tea soup house, give a bowl of tea." ”

The shopkeeper smiled politely, he brought two bowls of tea, and shouted: "Come on, the tea invited by the fairy Li Fengwu." ”
