Traveling through time, those years as a traffic officer

Chapter 118 Naively Thinking That There Are Many Good People

Seeing that he is so poor yet still buying so much food, you can probably guess who he is.

"Little girl, I have two thousand catties of cornmeal. I'll just have to pay a penny more for every catty I buy."

Yu Min looked at the shopkeeper in surprise, "I only heard that if you buy more, you have to pay, but I have never heard of a price increase.

I’m so sorry, I won’t buy it.”

Is this taking advantage of someone's misfortune? There are all kinds of people out there.

"You're not buying it?"

Yu Min nodded and said, "Yes, actually I just want to buy 100 kilograms, but they told me that when bargaining I should say I bought a lot, so I can get a discount?

They fooled me. Isn't this just a price increase?

I won’t buy food if the price goes up, sorry to bother you, shopkeeper.”

"I'm the only one selling grain in this town."

I was really disgusted by the threats. I couldn't offend anyone, after all, the town was so small, and I was afraid I would get into trouble if I came to pick up the carriage tomorrow.

I walked out of the grain and oil shop quickly. I didn't feel like walking around town anymore. I should go back quickly and pick up the grain from the carriage tomorrow morning. I wouldn't always be so unlucky to run into such a black-hearted merchant, would I?

I dared not stay in the town, and drove back. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and I thought to myself that I would not be able to buy food.

I entered a village and was stopped at the entrance. I didn't look down on the children and explained that I wanted to buy cornmeal.

"Then you wait here, I'll go ask."

Yu Min was not angry at all, which showed that he had a sense of crisis.

Soon a middle-aged man came out, and rolled his eyes when he saw a little girl driving the cart by herself.

Yu Min had been keeping an eye on this person, and looking into his eyes he knew something was not right.

"You want to buy cornmeal?"

"Yes, how much is one pound? How much can it be?"

"As many as you want."

This now sounded the alarm in Yu Min's heart.

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"Six coins a pound."

"Okay, I'll go home and ask my family if it's possible and they'll come over later."

"Six cents a pound, you still need to go back and ask? But it's one cent cheaper than the grain and oil shop."

"Uncle, I don't know the price and I don't have the money. I'll let the elders at home decide."

The man thought so too.

Yu Min drove away and sped up, thinking that he would not do anything rashly if he was not familiar with the place. Although there are many good people, there are also bad people.

I was in no mood for the whole journey, so I went straight back to my temporary residence.

"what happened?"

"Sister Xiaoqin, I think there are more bad people here."

Her words attracted many people's attention. "What's wrong, Doctor Yu?"

She talked about what happened after she saw the children in the first village. "The last person kept moving his eyes, which I felt was really bad."

Zhang Daqiang was listening on the side. "How can you still be afraid of them?"

Yu Min looked back at him helplessly, "They are all ordinary people, what can we do?"

"They are not good people if they have the intention to harm others."

Yu Min nodded, "Indeed, but haven't we taken any action yet?"

"What else can you do if it harms you?"

Yu Min was really stumped by the question. Indeed, why was he pretending to be a saint? But the fact was that the other party did not take any action and he was not hurt.

No matter what happens, we have to take action before we can be convicted, right?

"Yes, you have a point."

"It would be great to be able to buy a carriage. If I don't have one, I can go out on horseback to explore the way." Zhang Daqiang said happily.

After having a steamed bun for lunch, he went into the tent and gave injections to the seriously injured.

"Doctor Yu, you must be more careful in the future. There are all kinds of people out there."

"Yes. I naively thought they were all good people."

"I'll go out when I'm better. How long will it take me to be better?"

"Captain Wang, how do you define this? You injured your head. Normally you should rest for at least a year."

Wang Hanmin smiled helplessly. How could I have that time?

"Yes, but at least your external injuries need to heal."

"How many more days?"

"Just one week."

It was obvious that Wang Hanmin was relieved.

"I'm thinking of setting off tomorrow. We're slow, and if we stay here, I wonder how long it will take us to catch up with the main force."

Yu Min had the same idea, so he didn't say anything.

If these few people were to encounter a large number of enemy troops while floating around outside, it would be really dangerous.

"I actually wanted to recruit soldiers on the way, but after hearing what happened to you today and our actual situation, I decided to give up."

The actual situation is here. It is difficult for us to even protect ourselves, so we should just take our brothers back to the main force.

"Doctor Yu, Xiao Jiang and the other five are no longer able to continue fighting. I talked to them this morning and sent them to the nearest train station and arranged for them to take the train back."

"Are they not from the same place?"

"No, they are all quite far away, both in the south and the north."

"Is it possible? There is no direct train to this small county, right? Do they know how to reverse? Even if we get to their county, have they arranged how to get back?"

Wang Hanmin sighed, "There are still people who can't read."

"What should I do?"

Wang Hanmin shook his head, "I don't know either."

"Do we have to go to Beijing to reverse the car? Or find someone who can read to take them to Beijing, and then have him take a car to find us?"

"You mean to arrange for them to take their own trains back home in Peking?"

"Yes, they have to figure it out on their own after getting off the bus."

"It is indeed a solution. Xiao Jiang and the others don't want to leave, but what else can they do? If we catch up with the main force, we won't be able to let them stay."

"Yes, indeed, that is impractical."

After Yu Min gave Wang Hanmin another injection, he went out to look for someone else. When he gave the other two injections, they also sighed.

"Xiao Jiang and the others are crying."

Yu Min felt sad, but he had no way to arrange for them now. He could only let them go home on their own.

It was not until the evening that Wang Hanmin told Xiao Jiang and the others about their decision.

"Let Cao Li take them there. I've also studied the map. Let him take a bus from Peking and go directly to Yang County to wait for us."

Yu Min was stunned for a moment. The location Wang Hanmin mentioned was not far from the main force. How did he know to go to Yang County?

"Captain Wang, is the main force over there?"

“Yes. There are signs on the road.

This is the direction. There is no mistake. "

Yu Min nodded. They all had special codes for marching and fighting, so this was pretty good.

"Captain Wang, how much money should we give them?"

"We have a lot of money in our hands. How about giving more, ten dollars each?"

"I have no objection, but should we give them enough money for the tickets? And what about the food and drink expenses along the way?"

"Okay. Just give me special treatment." Wang Hanmin knew that his decision was wrong, but special cases require special treatment. Now that he has enough money, he should give more. It's not easy.
