Chapter 19: Confiscation of a Batch of Materials
The strange sound reached the ears of the water thieves, and soon one of them got up from the ground and looked around.
"I said, big brother, did you hear a strange sound?"
"What are you talking about? What sound can there be in the middle of the night, even if there is, it is a wild mouse, don't make a fuss here, it's not as good as a chicken. ”
Hearing the reprimand, the man crouched down on the ground again and continued to wait.
Song He'er is not completely sure, in case they are discovered by these thieves, then they will only have a dead end, in order to prevent foolproof, Song He'er secretly took out the bow and arrow in the space and put it at hand, in case of accidents, they can save their lives.
"Ah!!h
"What are you shouting, you want to die?"
"Big brother, I just saw a dark shadow drifting by!"
"I see your kid has a brain in water today!"
As soon as the words fell, Song He'er asked Zhang Xiu'e to drop herself on the tree with a rope, and stuffed the fireflies into her clothes.
"Big brother, did you say that the little lady we killed a few days ago came to us to ask for our life?"
The man, who was called the eldest brother, raised his hand, gave the man a slap, and shouted, "Deflated calf, look at your little guts!" What nonsense! That little is dead, and she can come back and strangle you to death? ”
Song He'er was slightly stunned, little girl? It seems that they really have a lot of murders on their hands!
Thinking like this, the corners of Song He'er's lips rose, slowly approaching them, and shouted in an ethereal voice: Give me back my life~
The voice really echoed in everyone's ears, and one of the men turned his head and saw Song He'er hanging in the air, and he was directly frightened and fainted.
"Ahh Ghosts! What a fucking ghost! ”
"Retreat! Come on! ”
A group of people fled like rats crossing the street.
Song He'er saw that they had fled without a trace, so she put down the rope and walked towards the river bank with Zhang Xiu'e.
"What to do with this person?"
"I can't keep my mouth alive, what if he wakes up and reports to his team?"
Zhang Xiu'e nodded, "Tie him up, throw him into the river, and let him harm people!" ”
After that, Zhang Xiu'e really tied up the man with a rope and dragged him to the river.
I heard a plop, and the man sank.
Li Qiang's daughter-in-law came out of the grass and waved her hand to this side, "Come here, I saw a lot of things!" ”
Zhang Xiu'e smiled and pulled Song He'er together in the direction where Li Qiang's daughter-in-law was standing.
"There's sweet potatoes, cucumbers, eggs, and most importantly, you see, what's here?" Li Qiang's daughter-in-law happily pointed to the cage next to her.
"It's a goose! Two! Song He'er shouted happily.
"Shhh, be quiet, I guess they snatched these things from some farmers, and it just so happens that we use them, and these things are enough to eat for seven or eight days!"
"Let's get it back!"
"Hmm."
With that, the crowd began to drag the sacks towards the side of the boat......
When they returned to the boat, the boatman was still asleep, only Qin Xiaoniang and Su Yu's daughter-in-law were trembling and waiting for them to come back, and they didn't even light the lights.
"Who?"
"Little lady, it's me."
"He'er?"
"Yes......"
Qin Xiaoniang lit the candle, and by the faint light of the candle, she saw Zhang Xiu'e and Li Qiang's daughter-in-law dragging a hemp bag in their hands.
"What is this?"
Zhang Xiu'e smiled: "Good thing, we have food on the road." ”
Qin Xiaoniang was also a shrewd person now, and felt that something was wrong, so she asked again: "There are water thieves lying around, don't you see it?" ”
"It's all gone, they left it behind."
"Oh, come up quickly, and rest quickly, or it will be dawn in a while."
Song He'er lit the mugwort leaves, and then lay down in the shed, perhaps because she was too tired, Song He'er quickly fell asleep, and when she woke up the next day, it was already three poles in the sun.
Zhang Xiu'e has already made breakfast, there are steamed sweet potatoes, and millet porridge, but this millet is also bought from the boatman, twenty wen a bucket, only enough for the big guy to eat.
"He'er, let's eat something." Qin Xiaoniang brought over a bowl of millet porridge.
Song He'er looked at the white water, which seemed to be much wider than yesterday.
"A-Niang, where did the boatman say we were?"
"Said that we will go to Shanyang this afternoon, and we can get off the boat."
Song He'er looked at the map, Shanyang is the last plain area along the way to exile, and beyond Shanyang is an endless prairie, so after getting off the boat, they must prepare emergency supplies.
Zhang Xiu'e combed Sister Nian'er's hair and sang a song to Brother Huan'er, "Do you think this Brother Huan'er is fat again, why does this still grow meat on the way to exile?" ”
Song He'er secretly laughed, of course Brother Huan will be fat, when will her little mother lack food and drink along the way, she will naturally raise Brother Huan for nothing.
Su Yu's daughter-in-law sniffed the clothes on her body and looked disgusted, "I forgot to wash my clothes last night because I was afraid, and you see, I have to go with a stinky sweat today." ”
Zhang Xiu'e breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's do some work at the next wharf, and when we get to the county seat, we will make a set of clothes by ourselves, and we must have a change of clothes." ”
Zhang Xiu'e's proposal, everyone agreed, after all, Su Yu's daughter-in-law and Li Qiang's daughter-in-law both have some strength, and they can earn a few dollars to buy clothes by doing some work.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time in the afternoon, and after everyone got off the boat, they put the things they had picked up last night on the cart, and temporarily parked the cart in one place for preservation.
As for Zhang Xiu'e, they looked for an errand to move goods on the dock, and they came back after three or four hours.
Near evening, Li Qiang's daughter-in-law walked over happily with ninety cents.
"Ninety wen, enough to buy five buckets of rice, and enough to buy some fabric!"
Song He'er was a little helpless, the two mandarin fish were easily sold for fifteen yuan, and the three of them worked hard for several hours before they earned less than one percent.
Hey, Shinong Industry and Commerce, although it is the businessman who ranks last, but the businessman is indeed the most profitable, and it is undeniable that only those who can do business have the opportunity to make a fortune.
However, for the sake of Li Qiang's daughter-in-law's happy face, Song He'er could only comfort her, after all, her money could not be taken out openly and used, and she had to cross the bright road.
"Things in Shanyang County shouldn't be expensive, I think ninety wen, it's enough to buy cloth, but if you need a tailor, you have to give labor ......money," Qin Xiaoniang reminded on the side.
Su Yu's daughter-in-law waved her hand, "I will make clothes, why spend that unjust money!" ”
"Zhou Niangzi will?"
"Yes, I used to do a lot of the sewing and mending errands in the General's Mansion."
"That's great, let's go to the county seat now, with Zhou Niangzi's skillful hands, we will soon have new clothes to wear!"
