All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

As Xia Chan and her sister-in-law continued to move forward, they finally emerged from the forest on the morning of the next day.

It was just dawn at the moment.

Xia Chan turned off the flashlight in his hand and turned to look at Mrs. Xie behind him.

"Sister-in-law, is it okay?"

In order to save time, the two of them did not rest at night.

Walking in the mountains and forests with a flashlight.

They heard the cries of many wild animals along the way, but fortunately none of them came close to say 'hello', otherwise Xia Chan and the others would not have had such a smooth journey.

Mrs. Xie picked off the fallen leaves on her hair and said with a smile, "It's okay."

"So let's take a break and then go to town?"

"it is good."

The two sisters-in-law found a sheltered place on the side of the road. Xia Chan got out a bucket of water and asked the eldest sister-in-law to wash.

There was also a set of clean clothes on the side.

When they go out into town, they still have to wear clothes from this dynasty.

You can't be too eccentric, otherwise you might be caught as an alien by outsiders, which would be troublesome.

About half an hour later, a young couple came walking on the path leading into the town.

The woman's face was dark, but her eyes were bright.

The man had yellow skin and a face full of pockmarks.

These two people were none other than Xia Chan and Mrs. Xie.

In order not to attract attention, they decided to dress up as an ordinary rural couple.

The eldest sister-in-law was naturally the wife, and Xia Chan pretended to be the husband.

She was quite good at playing a man. Not only did she change her face, she also drew on her Adam's apple and plugged her ear holes.

Combined with the gray men's clothes she was wearing, from a distance she looked like a thin man.

The two came to the town, found a noodle shop, and each ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles.

After being used to eating noodles made by Xia Chan, it was a bit difficult to eat noodles eaten outside.

However, neither of them was picky and they were able to finish the bowl of shredded pork noodles.

When paying, Xia Chan heard the customers at the next table complaining that the price of noodles had increased.

"The original price of a bowl of shredded pork noodles was ten cents, but now it has risen to sixteen cents. You are really a ruthless person, boss."

The guests at the next table were swearing.

I didn't order shredded pork noodles, but ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles in clear soup.

The price of vegetarian noodles has also increased, from five cents a bowl to ten cents.

The price has doubled.

Xia Chan put down the coin, smiled and said, "Boss, this is a bit unkind."

The boss sighed and said, "Sir, do you think I am willing to raise the price? The prices of food and meat are all rising, so I have to raise the price."

"Oh? Why did the price go up?"

The sound of the summer cicada is hoarse, and at first glance it sounds like a man's voice.

The noodle shop owner put away the copper coins and said with a bitter face: "It's a mess outside. The rich and powerful people are desperately stockpiling food at home. There are people queuing up outside the grain store every day to buy food..."

The boss shook his head and said, "How many days has the world been peaceful? Ever since the Xie family soldiers who defended the country were killed, the world has been getting worse day by day."

"If the Xie family army was still there, there would be no chaos in this world."

The boss cleared the dishes in front of Xia Chan and the others, then left with a sigh to go about his business.

Mrs. Xie sat on the stool with moist eyes.

Xia Chan reached out and held her hand on the table and squeezed it, and Mrs. Xie quickly came back to her senses.

He reached out and wiped away his tears.

They came out this time with a mission and they can't let things ruin just because they can't control their emotions.

"I'm all right."

"Ah."

Xia Chan withdrew his hand: "Let's go."

"it is good."

The two men left the noodle stall and walked forward. Not long after they arrived at the grain store in the town that the boss had mentioned.

Xia Chan took a look and found that there were indeed many people queuing at the grain store.

She frowned and pulled Mrs. Xie to line up at the end of the line.

It looked like they were buying food, but in fact Xia Chan was among those chatting, trying to listen to some information that might be useful to her.

Well, the main purpose is to find out who are the big grain producers at this time.

She is short of food.

If she met that kind of unscrupulous businessman, she really wouldn't mind emptying his warehouse.

Xia Chan stood in the line and listened for a while. He did not hear any unscrupulous businessmen in the town, but he heard that the county magistrate used his minions to make money.

OK!

This was just what she wanted.

"Sister-in-law, let's go to the county town."

Xia Chan came out of the team, pulled Mrs. Xie to a corner, and discussed with her in a low voice.

Mrs. Xie nodded.

"it is good."

The third brother's wife has the final say in their family now, and the eldest sister-in-law naturally has no objection to what she says.

After the two of them had discussed it, they left the town and headed straight for the county town.

They encountered several waves of thugs who tried to block the road and rob people along the way. Xia Chan glanced at her sister-in-law, and she quickly dealt with the thugs without her sister-in-law having to do anything.

By the way, they also confiscated the money they had stolen.

The town is not far from the county seat, and it usually takes about two hours to walk there.

Xia Chan and her friends were delayed on the road for a while, but not too long, and arrived at the county town around two o'clock in the afternoon.

There were many soldiers guarding the city gate.

Now you need to pay an entrance fee to enter the county town, otherwise you will not be allowed in.

Xia Chan glanced at Mrs. Xie, who was walking in front with twenty copper coins in her hand.

Before they entered the city, a man carrying a basket who was standing in front of Xia Chan was kicked away by a soldier.

The sweet potatoes in the basket he was carrying were scattered to the side.

"You want to go to the city without any money? What are you thinking about eating?"

The soldier cursed the man he kicked and sent flying: "Get out of here now, or else don't blame me for my indiscriminate sword."

Very fierce officers and soldiers.

As he spoke, he pulled out the knife in his hand, and the man who was kicked to the ground was so scared that he trembled and shrank back, not daring to say a word.

Xia Chan lowered her eyes and watched the man who was kicked and injured. She wiped her tears while picking up the sweet potatoes on the ground and putting them into the basket.

She frowned.

"This big brother."

When the man was about to pick up the sweet potatoes despite the pain, Xia Chan called out to stop him.

“How much do you sell your sweet potatoes for?”

"Bro?"

The man didn't expect that someone would ask him how to sell sweet potatoes.

His wife was sick and his family had no money to buy medicine, so he could only take some sweet potatoes to the city to sell, hoping to exchange a few cents to buy medicine for his wife.

But the soldier guarding the city gate would not let him in, saying that he had to pay a five-cent entrance fee and a two-cent occupancy fee.

A total of seven cents.

The man's pockets were shabby, and he couldn't even come up with any money. He wanted to ask the military officer to be flexible, but the military officer didn't bother to talk to him and kicked him away.

"Would you like to buy sweet potatoes?"

"Um……"

Xia Chan agreed, and seeing the soldiers staring at her eagerly, she bent down, smiled ingratiatingly, walked out of the team and took the man to talk to her side.

Behind the man's back, she not only bought the two baskets of sweet potatoes, but also gave the man one or two ounces of silver.

Hong Bin held the silver change in his hand, tears welling up in his eyes.

Suddenly he fell to his knees with a puff.

"Thank you, thank you. May I know your name, benefactor? I hope you can tell me. I will burn incense and pray for you every day when I return."

One tael of silver is enough to save a life at this time.

Xia Chan raised a slight arc at the corner of her lips: "My last name is Xie."
