Chapter 9: Chen Shiyou's Guilt
The officials took the scoop for a long time, but only caught two broken baskets, where can they still see any figures.
"Drown, if you don't drown, you will die of exhaustion in the sea, so far from the shore." The servants guessed that it was almost dawn, and they felt tired from the whole night's work, so they just walked around the neighborhood casually and sailed back.
Long after the boat left, there was a burst of gurgling bubbles on the sea, and after a while, the upside-down boat was suddenly lifted over, and then Chen Dali, who had been soaked in the water a little white, suddenly came out, panting heavily, and stayed in the limited space under the boat for so long, even if he was strong, he couldn't bear it.
Compared with Chen Dali, who escaped by hiding under the cabin, Chen Shiyou's escape process was much more difficult, he almost swam all the way to the shore, fortunately, when he jumped into the sea, the shore was relatively close, and the basic direction was not wrong, but because he wanted to avoid the officers and soldiers, he made a long detour in the sea water, and almost died of exhaustion in the sea water, and finally climbed ashore, almost panting like a dead dog.
After lying on the tidal flat for a long time, Chen Shiyou accumulated a little strength, looked at it, and found that he was on the shore of Shangle County, because the surroundings were unfamiliar scenery, and he found a family in a remote place to inquire about the way, but he did not drift to a completely unfamiliar place.
There is still a bay away from home, Chen Shiyou can't find a boat, and he didn't bring money to take a passenger boat or carriage, so he can only go back along the coastline, this two-o'clock boat journey, he walked for two days, he didn't eat anything, and when he was thirsty, he only drank some dirty water in the ditch on the side.
The thin ones were not human-shaped, and when they arrived home, Yang didn't dare to recognize them, and could only cry at him.
Chen Shiyou didn't show up for two days, and the Yang family was very worried, but this was a secret matter of selling illegal salt, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense everywhere, and only said to the curious people who came to ask, Chen Shiyou went into the city to see the big girl. The concealment was reluctantly hidden, but this person didn't come back for a long time, and hung one of Yang's hearts up, and it was so chaotic that he finally remembered that he should go to Chen Dali to find out the news, and Yang also took advantage of the darkness to quietly go over and knock on the door, but at that time, Chen Dali was afraid of being implicated, so he ran to the field to hide from the wind, and naturally he couldn't find anyone.
finally waited for the person to come back, but it was such a state that almost everyone was doing, and the Yang family was about to faint from crying.
People always want to go home when they are injured, so Chen Shiyou went home unconsciously in a dizzy state, and when he slept and poured a bowl of porridge, Chen Shiyou came back to his senses and sold illicit salt.
For a long time after that, he had been lying at home anxiously waiting for the officers and soldiers to come to ask for the guilt, but the result was surprisingly calm, and after a few days, even Chen Dali, who had fled outside, came back, although he never gave Chen Shiyou a good face, but Chen Shiyou finally knew, and he could rest assured, and the matter was not revealed.
In this private salt experience, Chen Shiyou not only did not make a lot of money, but lost two baskets of five or six hundred catties of pure salt, as well as a healthy body. It is estimated that the loss was too great that time, and the Yang family was already waiting for good soup and medicine, but Chen Shiyou's body was still slowly deteriorating, he often had fever and dry cough, and even his back was stiffened, and he looked like he was ten years old, which was a little bitter.
Chen Dali still didn't give up on selling illegal salt, and he came to Chen Shiyou a few times, Chen Shiyou was honest after all, and he didn't want to do such a dangerous thing anymore, Chen Dali had to find someone else stupidly, and it is said that he had succeeded several times, but the specific situation was not something that Chen Shiyou could know.
Because of Chen Shiyou's illness, the Chen family's family was even more difficult, and the Yang family was thinking with a sad face, if they couldn't do it again, they could only stop Chen Shunan's school, and they were about to be unable to pay the tuition.
For the situation in the family, even if he is still a child, he is not ignorant, Chen Caichun discussed with Chen Shuangchuan, and took out the small silver bun that Chen Cainu quietly left behind and subsidized the Yang family.
There are not many people in the countryside who use silver buns, and they basically can't find them, and after Chen Shiyou's health is poor, Yantian's affairs are a little too busy, so Yang had to carefully wrap the small silver buns, hide them closely, and prepare to go to the county town to exchange them for fragmented copper baht.
After Chen Shiyou's accident, Chen Shuangchuan has never been to the school, has been staying at home to help, the silk handkerchief he brought last time has been embroidered and piled up at the head of the bed, Chen Shuangchuan also wants to take advantage of the opportunity of Yang's entry into the city to change the meeting, so it is rare for Yang to ask her to follow into the county, she actually shook her head and said that she would not go, which caused Yang to be strange for a while.
After counting, nearly fifty silk handkerchiefs have been embroidered, plus the previous deposit, it is not a small amount, Chen Shuang happily took the silk handkerchief to the school.
Su Mi counted the silk handkerchief, kept the account, and then took out the money from the last silk handkerchief, and counted it to Chen Shuang one by one against the account, this time the silk handkerchief needs to be handed over to the mother-in-law before receiving the money.
After the accounts were clear, Su Mi chatted with Chen Shuangchuan as usual, "Next time, let's change to Luozi, the price of the mother-in-law's silk handkerchief has been lower than before." ”
"Luozi, I've never done it before, no." Chen Shuang was a little embarrassed, but what Su Mi said was also reasonable, the price of the silk handkerchief was pressed by the mother-in-law by an iron baht, which was a laborious matter, and it was not a good deal.
Su Mi smiled and said, "You can do it a few times, it's not difficult." ”
At this time, Su Shiniang pushed the door in, seemed to be a little angry, and fanned the wind with a handkerchief for a long time, before she came to her senses and said: "Today, this mother-in-law is really messing around, and she has been talking to me for a long time, asking me to buy her family's seeds, and our family has no land, what are you going to do." ”
Su Shiniang learned a few more words like the mother-in-law, and Chen Shuangchuan looked interesting and asked: "What seeds are so good, and they can be planted in saline-alkali land?" ”
"It seems to be called...... Cotton was brought in from the Western Regions. ”
I heard the news of cotton from Su Shi Niang, and when Yang went home, she really brought back a large bag of seeds, which was the cotton seed that Su Shi Niang had mentioned.
"Mother...... Mother, how did you buy this? Listening to Su Shiniang's description, Chen Shuangchuan's only feeling was that the mother-in-law should be a liar, and the cotton seeds should also be fake, as soon as she heard that the Yang family bought this seed, she immediately stammered nervously, "All ...... Bought all, all the money? ”
