Only when financial freedom is truly realized, that kind of life can be called life.

The corpses along the way, combined with the whistling wind, are as miserable as purgatory.

Until they saw the city gate of Qingyuan Town, outside the city gate, seven officers and soldiers were carrying the corpses near the city gate to the ox cart.

"On a snowy day, it's okay to wander around outside! It's okay now, I can't go back! ”

"You said go shopping, but it turns out that you have to involve a few of our brothers to collect your corpses."

"Okay, hurry up, this is the last car, you can go home and bake the fire when you're done."

"I'm not going to this car! I've already sent it once. ”

"I've sent it too, Anzi, it's time for you and Hachi to go to this car."

Lin Tao raised his brows when he heard this, and visually saw that there were more than a dozen corpses piled up on the ox cart at this time.

Three trips, more than 40 lives! In their eyes, it is like garbage, piled up at the door and affecting the city's appearance, so it is dragged out.

Zhu led the ox cart to her side.

When the ox cart passed by the officers and soldiers, the men were curiously looking at their cart.

"This car looks pretty fresh!"

"Hey! What a thing! Looks like a lot of effort! ”

"No, no, you see her feet, stepping on that thing, her feet won't sink into the snow! If we can get a pair, it will save a lot of effort! ”

"Well, this morning, my shoes were soaked."

Zhu Donghua visibly tensed, and the hand holding the reins clicked.

"Don't be nervous." As he spoke, he patted Zhu's hand.

"Mother, will they rob us of our things?" Zhu asked in a suppressed voice.

Lin Tao smiled: "I don't need them to rob it, I will take the initiative to send it." After saying that, he really greeted him.

"Mother! Mother! ”

Ignoring Zhu Donghua's shout, Lin Tao had already spoken to the officers and soldiers beside the carriage.

"Official, your feet are in the snow, it's not okay to bury them for a long time. It's going to freeze! ”

"What do you mean?" The official raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on her feet.

"This one!" Lin Tao lifted one foot and showed the snowshoes on his feet. "This is the old woman's own work, and it's quite good. The old woman respects you, on this snowy day, you can still collect the bodies of these poor people and give them a place to bury. I wanted to come over and ask, if the official can see it, the old woman will give a few pieces, so that the officials will not freeze their feet. ”

The expression on the official's face suddenly cleared. So much so that even the name for her has changed.

"Auntie really has a heart. Although we are acting according to orders, no matter how we say it, these people also have a sense of solidarity with us. ”

Lin Tao found seven snowshoes from his ox cart and sent them one by one.

When he didn't know how to wear it for a long time, Lin Tao also carefully explained and demonstrated.

After all seven of them put it on, several young officers and soldiers were overjoyed.

"Ahem! God, we should have this thing earlier, and we wouldn't have frozen and numb our feet. ”

"Auntie, do you sell snowshoes? If it's not expensive, I'll buy another one for my brother. ”

"If you say something that you can't sell or not, my aunt will bring you another one." After speaking, Lin Tao really took another one.

Although the man said that he wanted to give money, he did not make any substantive movements from beginning to end.

Lin Tao really didn't plan to ask for money.

The officers and soldiers who got two pictures thanked them with smiles.

"If the official really wants to thank me, can you help the old woman call the door? The old woman has some good charcoal, and she can't find a way to sell it. ”

Lin Tao spoke, his eyes were slightly red, and then he lowered his head and sniffed, and made a gesture to wipe his tears.

"My life is not good, old woman, men die early. Not long ago, my mother-in-law was seriously ill, so I exchanged charcoal for money to buy medicine and food for my mother-in-law. ”

Even when he spoke, Lin Tao said it with extreme emotion.

In the meantime, there was also a trill.

"What's so hard about this! Xiao Anzi, isn't your sister-in-law working at Wang Yuanwai's house? After a while, you lead the eldest lady to ask. ”

The official who was called Xiao Anzi responded with a smile.

"That, that old woman, thank you. You're busy, I'll wait over there. ”

Turning his head to make a look at the Dong clan, the Zhu clan pulled the ox cart to the bottom of the cave at the city gate.

At this time, the Zhu family, looking at her, had a golden light in her eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Tao didn't have a good airway.

Zhu retracted his gaze in embarrassment: "Mother, you, before you came to town, you thought about this?" ”

Lin Tao shook his head: "I only know that charcoal will definitely not be sold in the Fang Market." Before I came, I was thinking about how to open the way. Let's go to call the door in a grand manner, maybe we won't even see the comprador mother-in-law, and we will have to be chased away. Isn't this just happening, a few snowshoes, and the thing will be done. ”

Zhu nodded, his eyes full of admiration, so that Lin Tao didn't even look at it.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to wait, and it didn't take much effort for the young officers and soldiers called Anzi to come.

Lin Tao hurriedly cleared out the position where he was sitting before, and invited people to sit up.

Anzi also refused politely for a while, but Lin Tao forced someone to press it.

As soon as the ox cart moved, Anzi exclaimed in surprise: "Wow! There is no wheeled car, sit up, it is actually this feeling. ”

Lin Tao smiled and didn't say a word.

Entering the town, Anzi pointed her the way, and after a few turns, the ox cart stopped in front of a small door in an alley.

Anzi got up and went up to knock on the door.

"Who! On this snowy day, don't you know if you can freeze your feet in the snow! ”

The whining voices inside were getting closer and closer, and when the door opened, the woman still had a cold face.

The moment he saw Anzi, it was as if he had changed his face, and he smiled so flatteringly.

"Yo! Ann Ye! Are you here to find Sister-in-law Qin? I'll call you. ”

An Zipi responded with a smile: "Yes, Aunt Xu walks carefully, your feet are expensive, but they can't be frozen." ”

Lin Tao can hear it, Anzi is the mother-in-law of the Wangfu.

The woman hurriedly turned around and said as she patted her cheek.

Anzi was impatient to hear this, so he sent the woman to call someone.

After a while, a woman in her early forties was led over by her mother-in-law.

The woman had a hairpin on her head, looked upright and unsmiling, and was wearing a long cyan dress.

When she came to the small door, the woman first sent away the mother-in-law who was guarding the door, and then turned her head over Anzi to look at her and Zhu for a long time.

Anzi called: "Sister-in-law." The woman withdrew her gaze.

The two talked softly for a few words, and Anzi called her up.

"You sell charcoal?" The woman asked.

Lin Tao nodded, turned around and called Zhu Shi to bring a basket of charcoal, did not speak, just took a piece of charcoal in his hand, so that the woman could inspect it.

These people, in which year do they not buy charcoal! Whether it's good or bad, they can tell at a glance.

"Not bad, how many baskets are there? How much does it cost? ”

"Sister-in-law has good eyesight, my charcoal is not expensive, and it is more expensive than the usual price."

The woman's face turned cold suddenly, and her sharp gaze was like a nail, nailed to Lin Tao's face.
