Chapter 40

"Understood. We will protect the little masters."

Just as Chang Shun finished speaking, Guo Xiaoxiao's voice sounded.

"You don't need to protect them too much. They escaped all the way here, and that period of experience is enough for them to remember. As for letting them face those dangers, I am more worried that they will not be able to pass the hurdle in their hearts."

"Keeping the Qian mother and son is a disaster after all. We have to find a way to get rid of them so that we won't be involved."

Looking at the murderous look in Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes, the members of the Chang family knew that they were really murderous.

But they didn't understand why the young lady suddenly wanted to kill the mother and son?

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't go on talking, but looked at the increasingly cold sky and said: "Tomorrow, I want to go to the bookstore in the town, who of you will go with me?"

Cheng Wanyan responded first: "I'll go with Miss, just in time to buy some needles, thread and cotton."

"Okay. Go out early tomorrow."

"Yes."

The next day.

At dawn, Cheng Wanyan drove Guo Xiaoxiao out of the village in a carriage.

There was a continuous drizzle in the sky, and the road was a little slippery. Even in a carriage, it took the two of them half an hour to arrive at Wuming Town.

Parking the carriage directly outside the bookstore, Guo Xiaoxiao got out of the carriage with an umbrella and went straight into the bookstore.

After walking around the bookstore, Guo Xiaoxiao asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell your paper?"

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao combing the woman's hair bun, the owner of the bookstore responded with a standard smile: "Hi, madam. The paper in this store is classified into upper, middle and lower grades, and the prices are different."

"This store has raw edge paper, wool paper, cotton paper and high-quality rice paper. I don't know which kind Madam needs?"

Guo Xiaoxiao said without hesitation: "How do you sell raw edge paper and cotton continuous paper?"

"The best raw edge paper costs 280 cash, and the cotton paper costs 530 cash. There are 28 sheets in one knife."

"Shopkeeper, I wonder if I can take a look at your good rice paper?"

"Yes. Ma'am, please wait a moment, I will fetch it right away."

"Not urgent."

Taking advantage of the time when the shopkeeper took the rice paper, Guo Xiaoxiao silently recited in his heart: Sign in at Yiming Bookstore in Wuming Town.

Ding!
The host successfully signed in at the Yiming Book Shop in Wuming Town, and received rewards as follows: knives for high-quality rice paper, knives for cotton paper, and knives for raw paper.

Three Yanghao pens, five Changliu pens, and five Langhao pens.

Duan inkstone 2, She inkstone 3, Taohe inkstone 2, pine smoke ink and lampblack ink 5 each.

Five miscellaneous treatises on the wonderful art of the Great Song Dynasty and one law have been put into the system space, please check the host.

Listening to 005's broadcast, Guo Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Well, it's not a bad trip.It's just that it's too cold to come to town often.

While thinking about it, the shopkeeper came over with rice paper, "Madam, this is the best rice paper in our store, please have a look."

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at the white and clean rice paper in front of him, then at the cotton paper, and finally bought two knives of raw-edged paper, one knives of cotton paper and one knives of rice paper, paid the money and walked out of the bookstore.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, and the rain in the sky became lighter. Cheng Wanyan drove the carriage to a cloth shop, stopped the carriage, and then helped Guo Xiaoxiao get off the carriage and entered the cloth shop.

This time, it was Cheng Wanyan who spoke out first.

"Hello shopkeeper, I'm here to buy some cotton, how do you sell cotton now?"

Hearing the sound, the woman who was facing away from the shop quickly turned around, looked at Cheng Wanyan and said with a smile: "Oh, this is a girl. Cotton, now 110 five cents a catty, which is almost an increase from the previous few days Thirty Wen."

"It has risen so much?"

"Sister, sit down. Sigh, who says it's not right. But this year it's cold and early, and some things can't be exchanged, so the price is just like this."

As the woman spoke, she sighed, and then continued, "If it hadn't just happened a while ago, I wouldn't have any cotton to sell."

"Huh? Hurry up, bring me twelve catties of cotton, and buy some needles and threads to go back to sewing. Some threads of all colors, more black and green."

"Hey, I'll take it here for you, girl, wait a minute."

"to make."

Taking advantage of the time when the woman went to the back to get cotton, Guo Xiaoxiao said in a low voice: "Ask for rags later, and bring some back if possible. People in the village can use them."

The phrase "people in the village can use it", Cheng Wanyan immediately understood it, and then nodded in agreement.

The woman walked two times, finally took out the cotton, turned around to get the embroidery thread, and then looked at Cheng Wanyan, "Sister, what else do you need?"

"Sister, do you have any rags?"

"rags?"

Seeing Cheng politely nodding without hesitation, the woman looked up at Guo Xiaoxiao, saw her face entering the venue, and responded: "Yes, there are three sacks in the warehouse. My sister needs them. My sister has someone move them for you. Wait."

After all, he hurriedly turned around and walked in.

Not long after, the woman came out with two assistants carrying sacks.

"Sister, does the carriage outside the door belong to your family? Put the carriage on it for you."

"Please trouble sister."

"Hey, it's okay."

When the woman put away the sack and came in, Cheng asked her how much money the cotton and needles cost in total.

"One tael of silver is 340 Wen."

(Note: One tael of silver is consistent money, which is one thousand Wen.)
Cheng thanked her politely, gave her the money, and then walked out of the cloth shop with Guo Xiaoxiao.

This time Guo Xiaoxiao didn't let Cheng Wanyan follow her, but walked on the street by herself...

Not long after, Guo Xiaoxiao came back with things in both hands.

He is holding a duck in his left hand and a big wax gourd in his right hand.

Seeing this, Cheng Wanyan quickly greeted him, took the things in Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, "Miss, I'll come."

"Hmm. Is there anything else you want to buy?"

"No, I've already bought the salt and seasoning."

"Then, let's go back, it's too cold."

"Yes, miss, sit down." After Guo Xiaoxiao responded, Cheng Wanyan drove the carriage towards the outside of the town...

Nameless village.

Qian Jinbao looked at his mother with a serious face and asked, "Mother, when can we see brother?"

"Mother, you said that we will be able to see my brother when we get here, but it's been so long, and I haven't seen him yet. Mother, when will my brother come back?"

When Qian Shi, who was making lunch, heard this, her face froze and her hands froze, not knowing how to answer the elder son's words.

At this moment, she regretted it a little.

She had a feeling that she might never see her well-behaved little son again in this lifetime.

If the youngest son is in the hands of those people, that is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger...

Thinking about it, Qian's heart felt sore, and the emotions suppressed by him poured out at this moment, and he squatted on the ground and cried.

Seeing this, Qian Jinbao became anxious.

He didn't expect his own words to make his mother cry like this. He quickly ran to his mother and wiped away tears for his mother in a panic, "Mother, don't cry, mother, don't cry, Jin Bao won't ask, Jin Bao Don't ask..."
