A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Although Wen Meijiu felt better with the compensation of the jade pendant, she still felt that Master Wang followed her because he did not believe that she had returned the pistol to Zhang Can.

The prince had set his eyes on her things, and Wen Meijiu was more aware of this than anyone else.

On that day, after sending away the few soldiers sent by Zhang Can, Wen Meijiu hid the carriage and the food in the space.

The next day, she took the jade pendant given by Prince Wang to the pawnshop on the street to see how much the jade pendant was worth.

In times of war and chaos, wearing it on your body will easily attract people's attention. It is more convenient to exchange it for money.

After walking around the street, Wen Meijiu asked two pawnshops, and she was really scared.

She knew that every pawnshop would try to lower the price when it received a good item, and in the end the price would definitely be less than one-tenth of the original item's price.

However, she asked two families about the jade pendant in her hand. One family said that they could only give a maximum of 1,000 taels of silver, and the next family said that they could only give a maximum of 1,500 taels of silver.

It's just a piece of broken jade, how could it be worth so much money? Wen Meijiu didn't dare to agree. He turned around, put the jade in his pocket and walked out.

The two pawnshops were next to each other. After leaving the last one, Wen Meijiu had a vague feeling that someone was following him.

It seems that the jade pendant in her hand is really valuable. If she doesn't sell it, someone will covet it.

So she plunged into an alley, and after turning several corners, she felt that she had gotten rid of the person.

Holding the jade pendant in his hand, Wen Meijiu felt uneasy. Why did he feel like the jade pendant had become a hot potato?

She thought about it and put the jade pendant into the jewelry box in the space. Just leave it there. Its value must be more than a few thousand taels.

Prince Wang actually gave such a valuable item to Lanling so easily. Wen Meijiu didn't believe that he had no purpose in doing so.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Wen Meijiu felt.

As soon as she came out of the alley and walked onto the street, she heard a loud noise in front of her.

After taking a closer look, Wen Meijiu realized that she had unknowingly walked to the north gate of the city.

"We want to enter the city. Why are you not letting us in? You are killing people!"

There were two people in the crowd, one in front and one behind, shouting loudly. The crowd of victims surged forward, and the officers and soldiers formed a thick human wall to stop them from entering the city.

The leading officer raised the notice in his hand and shouted:

"Our county magistrate has issued an order that without his permission, not even a fly can fly into the city. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy."

As soon as the leading officer's voice fell, the crowd exploded again. They shouted and raised the broken bowls in their hands to yell at the leader of the officers and soldiers.

"Kill him, kill him, and we will all be alive."

I don't know who in the crowd shouted that sentence, but the crowd began to become noisy, and the shouts of "beat him to death" became louder and louder.

The officers and soldiers were shocked when they saw this, and they all raised their swords and pointed them at the victims on the opposite side.

"Go ahead. It's death anyway. If I die, my son will live."

Someone shouted desperately, and the surging victims behind them rushed towards the armed soldiers in front like a tide.

Some officers and soldiers were frightened and retreated quickly, while others persisted. Their swords were instantly covered with blood, and the people impaled on them were still grinning at them. The human wall soon collapsed.

Large numbers of people poured into the streets. They were excited and confused. They looked around, feeling as if they were saved.

"Go away, go away!"

The smarter shops on the street loudly drove the people in and hurriedly ordered their shop assistants to close the doors and windows.

"Robbery, robbery!"

The shop was caught off guard and before it could even pick up its doors, the victims who rushed in had already snatched away all its items.

The victims gathered in groups of eight or nine on the street, relying on each other and patronizing each shop one by one. All shops selling food were affected.

Wen Meijiu stuck to the wall and ran home quickly. This situation was very serious.

With so many disaster victims, there won’t be any grass growing here in less than half a month. They have to leave here quickly.

When she ran back home, her mother, who had gone out shopping, had also returned.

“It’s really scary, all the shops on the street have been looted.

I heard that several wealthy families were also robbed and many people died.”

My mother's eyes were wide open and she was extremely scared.

Wen Meijiu grabbed her mother's hand and comforted her:

"Don't worry, we don't have anything in our house. If they just want to steal something, that's fine."

Mother stared at her for a long time, then she came to her senses and said:

"Yes, we have quilts, beds, rice jars, stoves, cooking utensils, and some food."

After his mother finished speaking, Wen Meijiu felt that grain was only a bit of property, and the rest was really nothing.

But then again, a poor family is worth a fortune, and although some eating and drinking utensils are not very valuable, it would be inconvenient without them on the road.

"Well, mother, you should put all the daily necessities in the house now. Even if someone comes to steal them, we can protect them."

When my mother heard this, she thought it made sense and quickly went out to pack her things.

Wen Meijiu sat on a stone in the yard to catch his breath. Through the low courtyard wall, he could see villagers coming and going on the road outside. Each one was running faster than the other. They must have just returned from outside and knew that the world was in chaos.

My mother was tidying up in the kitchen, mumbling anxiously:

"You said, yesterday the prince said he would come to gather tomorrow. I don't know if he can make it to tomorrow given the situation today."

After worrying about this matter, the mother remembered something and stood up and asked Wen Meijiu who was in a daze:

"By the way, wine, where is your carriage?"

She was worried that with so many disaster victims entering the city, their carriages might be stolen.

Wen Meijiu then remembered that she had put the carriage into the space, and her family and neighbors had never seen her carriage. If she took out a few carriages out of thin air tomorrow, would it scare people?

"Mom, I'll go find the village chief and ask his sons to watch over the carriage to prevent it from being driven away."

Wen Meijiu didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly went to the village chief's house.

When she arrived, the village chief's wife and the village chief were arguing, and the two were arguing about the issue of fleeing famine.

The village chief believed that the situation was already very serious and would not get better by the time of wheat harvest. However, his wife felt that there might be hope on God's side. If the situation improved, what would happen to their houses and land?

"Grandma, this won't get better. It's only going to get worse."

As soon as Wen Meijiu entered the room, he directly shattered the fantasy of the village chief's wife.

"Wine, why are you here?"

The village chief was quite surprised.

"Good wine, how do you know it won't get better?"

When the village chief's wife heard that they had to flee from famine, she was somewhat unwilling.

As she got older, it was hard to leave her hometown. She felt that her family was doing well in the village. How miserable it would be if she gave up such a big family business and went to beg for food in a foreign place where she was unfamiliar with the place.
