After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

"Xiaoya, I'll give you two days off so you can go meet your friends." Ye Qing said generously.

Xiaoya was very touched and didn't argue with Ye Qing. This might be the last time she came here in her life.

Ye Qing gave Xiaoya one or two taels of silver and asked her to bring some things over.

Xiaoya was thinking about Granny Wang. Granny Wang often secretly fed her food in the past, which helped her get through some difficult times.

Ye Qing and Ye Fan went out to sell goods together. They planned to sell half of the goods they brought.

This place is much larger than Wu'an City, the people are richer, and the price of silk is higher than that in Wu'an City.

Ye Fang also had this plan. The two sides acted separately and went out to contact the merchants.

Ye Qing took Ye Fan to the garment store. In addition to the cloth workshop, the garment store also needed cloth.

They sell it cheaper than the cloth shop, but there are still many people who want to buy it.

By the evening, more than a dozen horses had been sold, and the rest were being sold slowly.

When Ye Qing returned, Xiaoya had already returned. Wang Yun held Ye Qing's hand and told him about Xiaoya's poor mental health.

Ye Qing cares about Xiaoya very much. This girl is capable and smart, and he takes good care of her.

"Xiaoya, why are you unhappy when you go out to meet your friends? Did something happen to your friends?"

Xiaoya saw Ye Qing and walked over to her with a sense of dependence. "Girl, you are back. My friend is fine, but he is a little confused after knowing one thing."

When Xiaoya said this, several people became curious and came over to ask Xiaoya to talk about it so that they could help her come up with some ideas.

Xiaoya also wanted to find someone to talk to, as she felt uncomfortable keeping it all in.

"The girl I used to serve has gone to work in that young master's house. Now she is a concubine and is pregnant, but the young master's mother can't tolerate her and wants to keep the child and wait for the young mistress to come home to make them happy."

Ye Qing and the others looked at each other, and as they had guessed, they were going for that young master.

Wang Yun comforted Xiaoya, "Don't be sad. Everyone has their own destiny. Since she made a choice, she must bear the consequences of her choice."

Xiaoya also understood this, but she was still worried about her.

After Xiaoya finished speaking, she glanced at Ye Qing, worried that Ye Qing would say that she was missing her old master.

Ye Qing didn’t have this idea. After all, Xiaoya had been with that girl for so long, how could she not have any feelings for him.

"Xiaoya, you don't have to worry about her. She still has a father and a mother, and she hasn't signed a contract to sell herself. If she's not doing well, she can still go home."

Xiaoya thought about it and realized that this was true. She felt much better and started to prepare something delicious for Ye Qing.

They stayed here for half a month, sold half of the silk they brought, exchanged it for new goods, and continued on their way to Wu'an City.

It rains a lot in the south in summer, so when they left the city this time, they covered all the cars with tarpaulins. The car that Ye Qing and his friends were riding in also had a tarpaulin around the roof.

They were walking on the road that day, dark clouds were rolling in the distance, and a heavy rain was about to come.

"Hurry, everyone, please walk faster. There is no place to shelter from the rain here. Let's move forward and see if there is a place to shelter from the rain." Ye Fang shouted loudly.

Ye Qing got out of the car and checked the surrounding cars one by one. Their batch of goods could not get wet.

When he reached the last car, he didn't find anything wrong. Ye Qing turned back, walked two steps and looked back, and suddenly found that a piece of the tarpaulin on the roof was broken.

Ye Qing felt that the wind was getting stronger and the rain was about to come.

"Hurry, bring another piece of oilcloth and cover the car again." Ye Qing pointed at the damaged area and shouted.

Ye Fan picked up the oilcloth beside him and ran over here. The goods in this truck were very expensive, a quarter of his net worth was on it.

People nearby came to help, some pulling the cloth and the ropes, working in tacit understanding.

Ye Qing helped pull a corner of the oilcloth, waiting for them to tie the rope.

Ye Fan was tying a knot underneath and felt raindrops falling.

"Qingya, hurry back to the car. You're not wearing a raincoat, don't catch a cold."

Ye Qing did not move. Several people here each took a corner. If she loosened up, the whole truckload of goods would be lost.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Ye Qing's clothes were soaked. Ye Fan sped up and finally tied the rope.

Xiaoya ran over wearing a straw raincoat and put the one in her hand on Ye Qing.

Ye Qing didn't bother to talk, and turned to walk towards the cart. The others also went to get their raincoats and drove the ox cart forward.

Ye Qing hid in the car, and Xiaoya gave her some clean clothes to change.

"Qingya, dry your hair, don't catch a cold." Wang Yun took a cloth and helped her wipe her hair.

Ye Qing took off all his wet clothes and changed into clean clothes before he had time to talk to them.

"Don't go out. It's raining heavily outside. Once we find a place to take shelter, we'll make some ginger tea to keep the cold out for them."

Wang Yun and others agreed, and some started to turn over the old ginger in the car and cook it directly over a fire.

The rain was getting heavier, accompanied by rumbling thunder, which made people feel nervous.

The people outside drove the ox cart forward with difficulty. When passing by a puddle, they had to find stones to fill it in advance. Once the cart got stuck, it was difficult to lift it out.

They were at the back of the team, and their situation was better because the road ahead was leveled and they just had to follow the people in front.

"Ye Fan, turn right at the intersection. There is a mountain temple over there."

Ye Fan listened to the reminder in front and spoke loudly to the people in the convoy here.

Ye Qing and the others heard it clearly in the car, and they found a piece of oilcloth, tore it apart, and walked inside while standing on the ground.

The pots, pans, and utensils in the car were all ready, and someone wearing a raincoat would stand outside pulling the oilcloth to shelter the people below from the rain.

They felt the car stop, and Ye Qing lifted the curtain and looked out.

Ye Fan stood outside the car with a stick to protect them.

"Qingya, wait a little longer. Our people will go in and take a look. You can come down after we get some news."

Ye Qing obediently shrank back and didn't cause them any trouble.

After waiting for a while, a whistle sounded from the front. Ye Fan knocked on the car window, signaling them to get out.

Ye Qing and a few others were protected into the mountain god temple. They first worshipped the mountain god, and then found a place to make a fire.

They were the only ones in the mountain temple. There was some dry firewood behind the temple, which was obviously left by the people before.

Wang Yun and his friends took Xiaoya to get some dry firewood and started a fire to make ginger tea. The men hadn't come in yet. They had to get the cars ready before they came in.

After finishing the work outside, Ye Qing and the others had prepared ginger tea. Everyone who came in drank a big bowl of it and their bodies felt warm.

Ye Fang and his men started a fire on the other side. Their clothes were all wet, so they dried them up after a while.

There is a statue in the middle blocking both sides, so it won’t be awkward.

The first group of people who were drying their clothes rested at the temple gate and looked at the things outside.

Ye Qing and others were cooking. There were so many people in the convoy, so they had to eat in several groups.
