Xunbei is a big city, and Miyi County is a small county under the jurisdiction of Xunbei City, there is still a distance from Xunbei, if you take a car, it will take about three or four days to arrive.

Mama Jin's cousin lives in Miyi County, and the closer they get to Miyi County, the more uneasy they become. I don't know if they are still there after so many years of no communication.

When they entered the city, in order to be poor enough, the two still picked up a cheap inn to live in. After asking the innkeeper if the journey to Miyi was easy, they casually ate some noodle soup at the inn, and then closed the door and rested in the room.

Although Xunbei is a big city, it is the largest city after leaving the capital, and there are many prosperous cities. But the two of them, who were alone, in order not to cause trouble, only obediently stayed at the inn, and waited until tomorrow morning to go out to inquire about whether there was a caravan or carriage to accompany Miyi County.

Although they were already cautious, they ate the most rudimentary food and wore as shabby clothes as possible. The few pieces of gold and silver jewelry that he brought out didn't dare to show at all.

Even so, they are still remembered.

On the morning of the second day when they arrived in Xunbei City, Ye Xinyan and Mama Jin ate some simple food and went out on the street. After inquiring for a day, I found a tooth and a nephew, and spent dozens of dollars to be accompanied by a few small traders, and made an appointment to set off together on the third day and rushed to Miyi County.

I don't know if it's because the Xunbei thief has a high level of professionalism, or if Ye Xinyan's good luck has run out. The journey went smoothly, and they were not eye-catching, but they were targeted.

Ye Xinyan and the others, who were targeted, didn't notice anything, thinking that they would set off again tomorrow and need to buy some dry food items, so they didn't rush back to the inn, but walked around the West Market in Xunbei to buy some items needed on the road.

As soon as I entered the street of the West Market, and within a few steps, two people in the bustling crowd argued.

It's good to die, these two people are in front of Ye Xinyan and Mama Jin, and the situation of the dispute has taken a turn for the worse, a few words are wrong, the two of them are pulled together, and they are about to rise to the height of the fight.

The other man who was with them stepped forward to dissuade them, and the three of them tore apart.

Ye Xinyan and Mama Jin hid to the side when they started arguing. But since people have the heart to calculate them, how can they be able to avoid them smoothly. In addition, the West Market is lively, although it is not crowded, but there is always an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, and it is not so easy to avoid it quickly.

Just when Ye Xinyan was pulling Mama Jin and avoiding pedestrians to retreat, the three people who were pulling together had already arrived in front of him, not only bumping into Ye Xinyan, but also knocking several other passers-by into a stagger.

At this time, two more people stepped forward to dissuade them, and the scene became even more chaotic.

Ye Xinyan and Mama Jin ran away from home, of course they couldn't cause trouble, although they were hit a few times, they didn't dare to reason with others in the end, and they withdrew from the chaotic crowd as soon as possible.

As soon as they withdrew, they heard someone shout, "The official is coming."

When the few people who moved heard the sound, they immediately stopped, and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye. Pedestrians on the road looked left and right and saw that nothing was going on, so they walked as usual, and the street returned to normal in a short time.

Ye Xinyan first noticed that something was wrong, she felt that her waist was wrong, and when she looked down, she saw that the jacket on her abdomen was broken, and the cotton was turned outward, she and Mama Jin were supporting each other, and the opening was not all shown, not very conspicuous.

Ye Xinyan subconsciously looked at Mama Jin's clothes, Mama Jin also noticed that something was wrong, looked down, her face turned white instantly, and she was about to shout when she opened her mouth, but Ye Xinyan whispered: "Mother-in-law!" ”

Mama Jin raised her eyes angrily and saw that Ye Xinyan had already grabbed her arm tightly, blocking the holes in the clothes of the two, and tried to make her voice normal: "We still have to go back to the inn to prepare things, let's go back quickly." ”

Mama Jin opened her mouth and immediately woke up to the fact that the two of them had no way out, only their identities that could not be revealed. If they shout that they have lost their money, they must report to the official, and then their identity becomes a problem.

The two of them walked with each other in their arms, and in order not to attract ideas, they used the action of supporting each other to block their arms against the tattered clothes on their abdomen.

Turning to a secluded place, Mama Jin's tears fell, "These people who kill a thousand knives, it's not easy for us to be so difficult, and we were stolen by thieves." ”

Ye Xinyan hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Mother-in-law is about to collect her tears, we are people with no identity, and we can't let people know that our property has been stolen." "I didn't dare to report to the official if I had stolen property, and people with a heart knew that they had a problem at a glance.

Mama Jin hurriedly stopped her grief, but she couldn't hide the panic on her face. Without money, how will they live in the future?

Ye Xinyan said helplessly: "Mother-in-law, those things can't be chased back." We can't make people suspicious of our identity, you have to pretend that nothing has happened before we can leave Xunbei City smoothly. ”

By the way, he didn't dare to squeak with nearly a thousand taels of silver, and this situation made people know that he might be threatened. Xunbei City is no longer a safe place for them, and the sooner they leave, the better.

The two walked slowly, Ye Xinyan persuaded in a low voice, and when they returned to the inn, Mama Jin's face was no longer too obviously sad.

The two of them avoided people and entered the room, and the spirit they had been carrying collapsed suddenly. I didn't even bother to sew my clothes, I just sat silently on the edge of the bed in a daze, and I wasn't even in the mood to speak.

After a long time, Ye Xinyan asked, "When does my mother-in-law think those thieves were eyeing us?" The few small vendors who have made an appointment with us should be fine, right? ”

If the pegws or petty traders were involved in the theft, they could not go with them on the road, but had to think of something else.

Mama Jin recalled the before and after they went out, and said weakly: "We have lived in the capital for a long time, and when we go out, we always follow many people back and forth, and we have never paid attention to these things. ”

"However, those vendors don't seem to be all the way, they are all made up temporarily, not to mention that there is also a vendor with his mother-in-law. Robbery is a kind of thing, you have to find a few reliable people to do it together, and I think it should have nothing to do with the vendors. ”

Ye Xinyan was right when she thought about it. Just one such thing scared them almost to the point of being a soldier.

Ye Xinyan had a lot of experience walking on the bustling streets in her previous life, but she adhered to the principle of being cautious, as long as she put her things away, nothing happened. How have I ever seen such a murderous thief cut through someone's thick cotton clothes and steal things, and he can steal silently.

This is probably the reason why the industry is underdeveloped, so the manual skills are more exquisite, and even the thieves are more skilled. I have to say that the methods of thieves in this era really have a high technical content.

Hehe, such a high level of eyesight and technical content actually made her run into it.

The valuables they had brought with them had been stolen, and now there were only a few pieces of silver left. Fortunately, when they went out today, in order to buy things and make it easier to access, the two of them each put some broken silver in their purses and sleeves, so that they could avoid a catastrophe and not be stolen and have nothing left.

I was going to buy some dry food for the road to eat, but now it seems that I still don't buy it. Go outside to buy some mixed noodles, give the inn a few firewood, and make some nests and cakes by yourself, which is more expensive than buying dry food.

Not only now, but I'm afraid that for a long time, they will have to live tightly.
