Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation
Chapter 32 Encountering bandits
"Aunt, here is rice. Let's make some porridge with steamed buns in the morning! I remember we were also given some pickles, so let's make do with that for now."
There were less than 300 kilograms of food left in Su Qiuyi's space, including more than 100 kilograms of rice and flour. However, if he didn't eat them, his body would not be able to recover. How could he escape famine without a healthy body?
As for the dishes…
She couldn't buy any vegetables at all. There was nothing else in the space except a hundred chickens. She could only make do with pickles for the time being.
I can’t eat chicken for every meal, that would be too extravagant, and I’m also afraid there won’t be enough to eat along the way.
Su Xiaofang's eyes widened as she said disapprovingly, "What is this kid talking about? We can't even eat fine grains every day during the Chinese New Year. This is considered a luxury!"
As he said this, he took the rice from his niece's hand and went out to cook porridge.
If my brother wasn't still weak, he would have either had porridge or steamed buns for this meal. It would have been absolutely impossible for him to have such a luxurious meal of porridge and steamed buns.
On the dining table, there was thick rice porridge with white flour buns and a small plate of pickles. Four people each ate a bowl of porridge, but Su Xiaofang's voice was choked with sobs.
The father, his two daughters, and their hearts also felt uncomfortable when they saw the man who was so upset that he choked with sobs.
I don’t know how my cousins are doing.
After the meal, the atmosphere was a little low, but Su Qiuyi still reminded the three that no matter how uncomfortable they felt, they had to eat well, just as if they were doing it to find their relatives as soon as possible, and they had to take care of their health as well.
Su Xiaofang was also a capable person with a quick temper. No matter how upset she felt, she knew that her niece was right. Besides, the food was such good grain and it would go bad if she didn't eat it in such hot weather.
After the meal, the four of them were full, and right after finishing the meal, Su Lao San looked at his eldest daughter eagerly.
After a night, he was able to walk nimbly with the help of a stick. Although he still limped, his legs didn't hurt as much and he felt he could use his strength. This made him even more anxious and he wanted to take three days' worth of medicine in one day so he could jump again as soon as possible.
The anxiety in their hearts increased day by day, for they were afraid that their little daughter would not be able to wait for them to rescue her.
"After taking this pill, you should be able to walk without the need for a stick. Take it quickly, Dad!" Su Qiuyi did not dare to delay. After dinner, she did not even have time to clear the table and quickly took out the medicine and gave it to her father.
There are only three pills in total, so she thinks that if she can get out of bed on the first day, she should be able to walk on the second day, and walk freely on the third day.
After watching her father take the medicine, she and her aunt rushed to the town without stopping.
We have to get the carriage back. We should set out early tomorrow morning. We can't delay too long. Every day we delay means an extra day of journey.
Fortunately, the town is sparsely populated now, so if there are people there, they may be hiding at home and don't like to see anyone on the street at all.
The aunt and nephew found the family who kept the carriage, and the horses were safe in the stable.
Su Xiaofang really knew how to harness a horse-drawn carriage, and she drove it carefully out of the alley.
The chestnut horse that Su Qiuyi bought had a docile temperament and was designed to pull carts, so Su Xiaofang learned to drive it very easily.
The two men did not dare to delay. There was nothing left in the town and there was no place to delay, so they drove the carriage back.
Passing by farmland on the road, Su Xiaofang pulled the reins and said, "Yiyi, let's get some straw that died from drought for the horses to eat! Get some extra for the horses to eat on the road!"
Su Qiuyi was worrying about what the horse would eat, and when he heard this, he quickly jumped off the carriage.
Without a sickle, the two men could only pull with their hands, but after a short while, they had pulled most of the carriage.
"That's enough. There must be a lot of farmland along the way that has died of drought. This is enough for us to eat for a few days. Let's go!" Su Xiaofang picked up the last large bundle and walked towards the car.
Since the carriage had no shed, Su Qiuyi climbed up and sat on the straw as soon as it was placed there.
You know what, it’s quite comfortable.
"Aunt, it will be more comfortable for Dad to sit on this tomorrow!" She said to her aunt while patting the straw beneath her.
Just as the two were about to drive forward, the sound of horse hooves was heard behind them.
"Auntie...it seems like a large group of people are coming..."
Su Qiuyi was a little scared. People who come at this time... are most likely not good people..."
"Hurry, Yiyi, sit down, let's go!" Su Xiaofang's face changed drastically, and she quickly slapped the reins to urge the horse to run.
But how could a horse pulling a cart run faster than the person riding it?
After running for a while, he was caught up by a group of people behind him before he entered the village.
Su Qiuyi held her aunt's arm tightly and sat down a little closer to her. Then they were so nervous that they didn't dare to look back.
A man's shouting was heard behind me.
"Who are you? How dare you block our way? Why don't you get out of the way?"
I almost introduced myself, but the bearded man in the lead glared at me and made an detour to introduce myself to us.
Su Xiaofang quickly pulled the reins to make the horse move to the side, thinking that everything would be fine if she gave way.
But at this moment, a squinty-eyed man behind the bearded man squinted his eyes for a few seconds, rode his horse forward, ran around the carriage, and came back to speak to the bearded man.
"Second brother, that woman is pretty, and she has a pretty girl with her. How about we take her home to be our second sister-in-law?"
There was a smile in his tone and it was hard to tell whether he was telling the truth or joking.
But the aunt and nephew shuddered when they heard it. Su Qiuyi whispered in her aunt's ear, "Aunt, what should we do?"
Before Su Xiaofang could come up with a solution, the group of people behind her had already started laughing without any scruples. Some people even said, "My nephew is old enough to get married. I think that pretty girl is good. We can take her away together! Hahaha..."
"Hahaha, yes, it's perfect for them to get married together! The uncle and nephew will get married together!"
Some people made suggestions, some agreed, and they applauded and spoke without any scruples.
Su Qiuyi could tell that this group of people were probably bandits from some mountain. Although she had never seen bandits before, she had heard too many of their quotes on TV.
"Yiyi, get out of the car when they aren't paying attention, run home, and hide with your father and sister first!"
After a while, Su Xiaofang seemed to have thought of a solution and began to explain in a low voice.
As soon as they said a word, a group of people on horseback blocked their carriage.
As soon as the bearded man saw Su Xiaofang from the face, his eyes widened.
There are no such beautiful girls in their Black Tiger Mountain. Although she doesn't look pretty, she is indeed pretty.
The two knew that running was useless. Su Qiuyi looked at the bandits head on. Even though he was terrified, he still sat calmly and said, "Gentlemen, what do you mean? We are aunt and nephew and have nothing! Can you please be kind and not make things difficult for us? We have an old father with a broken leg at home who is waiting for us to go back and take care of him!"
"Hahaha, dad with a broken leg? We don't rob you! You two come with us! We will have a great time! It's definitely a good life that you can't even imagine!" At the beginning, the one with squinted eyes laughed for a while, and then started to rob you.
"You're not going to rob us? Are you going to rape us? No, my uncle is waiting for us at home! I absolutely cannot go with you! It's really not possible! I still have two taels of silver on me... I'll give it to you, just let us go!"
