Chapter 23: Into the City

They are all members of the same clan, and Old Man Lu knows that it is not easy for them to survive until now, so he has no intention of really not helping.

But it must not be rushed up by themselves, now that they take the initiative to ask for it, Old Man Lu can naturally go down the steps.

He wiped a handful of tears sadly, then helped Lu Fugui up, and said, "Fugui, it's all a family, even if you don't talk to me about this, the third uncle will find a way to help you." We got four horses on the road, and it was a lot easier to get on the road, so I thought about letting the eldest and second go into the city to sell two horses, and help you get into the city in exchange for money. ”

"Third uncle, you are really a good person!"

Lu Fugui cried into tears, and other clansmen also knelt down for Old Man Lu, as the so-called adversity sees the truth, at this time, Third Uncle Lu can still think of them, it is really not easy!

"Third uncle, rest assured, when we arrive in Anzhou, we will definitely find a way to make money and pay off the arrears as soon as possible."

These people also have a conscience, and they know that they borrowed it, not because Old Man Lu gave it for free.

He Jiuniang said: "In this case, everyone will come to me to register and see how much it will cost in total, the eldest brother and the second brother will go to sell the horse to shout the price, and then come to me to write an IOU." ”

Writing an IOU was something that no one expected, Sun looked at her with satisfaction and helped her round the field: "Don't think too much about it, there are too many people, it's good to record it!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the third uncle and three aunts help us like this, what else do we have to think about? Can you write an IOU...... We can't read either! ”

Lu Fugui scratched his head a little innocently and smiled a little embarrassed.

The others nodded their heads again and again, and in this era, there are too few literate people.

He Jiuniang said: "I learned a few words when I was a child, and it is no problem to write an IOU, and everyone can just stamp a handprint when the time comes!" ”

Everyone agreed unanimously, and they went to tell He Jiuniang about the number of their own families, He Jiuniang kept it in mind, and then said to Lu Lao and the second child: "Big brother, second brother, a total of seventeen adults, five children, a total of sixty-one taels, our two horses are good horses, even if the situation is not very good, it can be sold to seventy taels or more, you can estimate it yourself and shout the price." ”

Those assassins who rode here from Nantai must have been thousands of horses, and if they were seen by people who knew the goods, they would definitely be higher, but they were not pursuing any good prices at the moment, as long as they could solve the problem of these people entering the city.

"Well, we will."

Boss Lu answered, and He Jiuniang explained: "Don't forget to go to the study to buy some paper and pens, and write an IOU." ”

Boss Lu answered again, and then started to clean up the camp and prepare to rest, only when he slept well, he would have the energy to do things early tomorrow morning.

"Little bamboo! Son! Stand still and give me back my son!" ”

He Jiuniang's family was ready to rest, when they heard Cui'er's terrible screams, He Jiuniang turned around to see that it was a group of refugees who took advantage of everyone's inattention and took the little bamboo away.

"Save my son, please! Save my son! ”

Lu Daping's leg was injured, and it was impossible to chase it, Cui'er thought of the two people left by Mrs. Jiang, and hurriedly came over to hug her thigh and beg for help.

Cheng Ke had already drawn his sword to catch up, those refugees were hungry and crazy, and when they saw that this group of people didn't look like they were easy to mess with, they didn't dare to do it, and finally when it got dark, the man was lame again, so he went directly to grab it.

They are all people who have been hungry for several days, how can their physical strength be comparable to Cheng Ke, and they were blocked by Cheng Ke in an instant.

"Don't come here! If you come back again, I'll strangle him first!" ”

The refugee looked at the sword in Cheng Ke's hand and was also scared, Cheng Ke sneered: "Do you think you can beat me faster?" ”

Saying that, the refugee was wiped on his neck before he could react, Xiaozhuzi fell into Chengke's arms in shock, Cui'er ran over in a panic and hugged her son, crying and coaxing him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid......"

The others were shocked, no one expected these two men with swords to be so powerful, and they suddenly didn't dare to make any more small movements, and ran away in a gray manner.

Seeing this, another group of fearful refugees quietly moved their things to the Lu family, always feeling that they were safer here.

He Jiuniang asked Leizi to send two bamboo tubes of water to Chengke and the others, which was regarded as thanking them for their help.

Cheng Ke happened to be a little thirsty, and after taking a sip, he found that it was sweet, and he looked at He Jiuniang without surprise, but saw that He Jiuniang had already coaxed the puppy to sleep.

Cheng Ke frowned, always feeling that this woman was a little different.

As soon as the city gate opened the next morning, the second eldest and second Lu went into the city, and after inquiring about the market, they were ready to take the two horses to the Yaxing in the south of the city.

The dental dealer not only manages the buying and selling of people, but also the buying and selling of livestock.

An hour later, they returned to the gate of the city, where Lu Fugui and others answered, and when they saw them coming out, they shouted to the Lu family not far away.

"I met a young master from a rich family, and I sold both horses and got a hundred taels!"

Boss Lu quietly explained to the Lu family, and with trembling hands, he handed over two large silver ingots worth fifty taels to the Sun family.

Oh my God, he hasn't taken such a fat silver ingot since he's grown so big, and today is considered to be over the addiction of the handle!

Sun was also surprised that he could sell so much, but he had gained a lot of money during these days, and he was able to barely calm down, put away a silver ingot of fifty taels, and took out a dozen taels of broken silver to pay the money to the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

He Jiuniang stayed outside, making sure that everyone in the family had stamped their handprints with her before they could enter.

It is rare for the officers and soldiers defending the city to see such a rich family, even if they enter the city by themselves, they have to bring a group of relatives, which is not easy.

After finishing all the work, He Jiuniang thought of Lu Guilan's family, so she asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city: "Brother officer and soldier, may I ask if you have seen a butcher's family, the men are all wearing horse coats, they are also strong, and there is a smell of pigs on their bodies." ”

The Lu family paid so much money in one go, and the smiles on the faces of the officers and soldiers guarding the city were also sincere, and after thinking about it carefully, they were really impressed.

"There really is, there are about eight or nine people, three children, who went into the city two days ago."

These words were simply a lifesaver for the Lu family, and Sun's originally wilted mood suddenly became clear.

Although the officers and soldiers were not sure if what they saw was the person the family was looking for, seeing them so happy suddenly did not spoil the atmosphere.

"Mother, do you hear that? Maybe my sister's family felt that it was too dangerous outside the city, so they went into the city first, let's go to the city to find it first, or go quickly to chase after it on the road to Anzhou, they are two days faster than us, and they will definitely be able to catch up. ”

Sun endured the sourness of his nose and nodded, eager to chase after him immediately.
