Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

"Uncle Kui, take care!" Su Qiuyi got off the carriage and greeted Qin Kui who was rushing back to the village.

Qin Kui, who was about to move forward, suddenly pulled the reins and stopped.

"Yiyi girl, are you really not going to tell Uncle Kui where you got the cement?"

There was still curiosity on his face. He had asked many times. Not only him, but also the bricklayers invited by Qinghe Town had asked several times, but Su Qiuyi just refused to say.

"Uncle Kui, I really can't say this!" Su Qiuyi looked embarrassed.

Qin Kui knew that he couldn't get the answer, so he changed direction.

"Yiyi girl, uncle doesn't want wages. After your house is finished, just give uncle some cement! Okay?"

"Okay, if there's any left, give it all to me! You still have to pay me! Go back quickly!"

Without finishing his words, Su Qiuyi played a word game.

The rough and rough Qin Kui didn't understand and went back to the village happily.

It was noon, and although it was early winter, it was still quite warm. Su Qiuyi walked on the main street of Qinghe Town, which was gradually regaining its popularity.

Thinking about what kind of business I should start.

Qinghe Town is neither big nor small. After all, there is a pretty big academy here. Students from several surrounding towns come to Qinghe Academy to study.

If there were no drought, the flow of people here would be considerable.

Fortunately, the drought seems to be over. Although Qinghe Academy has not yet opened, there are more and more people on the street and many shops have already opened for business.

Su Qiuyi passed by a teahouse and walked straight in.

Often when one wants to know some news, a teahouse is the best choice. Most people here are just idle and want to kill time, or they just come here to discuss business.

Many of the melons come from teahouses.

She chose a table near the street window and sat down, then ordered a pot of tea and two plates of pastries.

The pastries were not very tasty, so she only drank two sips of tea and observed the guests at several tables in the teahouse. There was nothing special about them, so she simply looked out the window.

After sitting quietly for a while, I heard some useful information.

The three people sitting at the next table were actually students from Qinghe Academy. Su Qiuyi heard that Qinghe Academy was going to open for a bathing session.

Nowadays, rental houses have become the hottest thing in Qinghe Town, and the inns are also overcrowded.

Students from far away places will rent houses in Qinghe Town.

Su Qiuyi also heard that there was only one bookstore in Qinghe Town, which was always packed with people, and many students couldn't even queue up to buy pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.

She started thinking about it.

If I open a bookstore, will it be feasible?

She has the source of goods, and they are absolutely cheap, so the benefits here are huge.

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. As she thought about it, she excitedly took a sip of tea. Just as she put down the cup, someone sat down across from her table.

A man wearing a bamboo hat in broad daylight.

Su Qiuyi looked over warily.

The man was wearing a dark robe and holding a sword in his hand. After sitting opposite Su Qiuyi, he unceremoniously picked up the teacup, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Sitting at his own table, Su Qiuyi had to ask something!

"It's been such a short time since we last met that you've already forgotten about your master?" the man in the bamboo hat opposite asked.

Su Qiuyi almost jumped up.

"You, you, you...Chu Mingxiao, why are you here? You shouldn't be here..."

Before she could finish her words, the hilt of the sword in Chu Mingxiao's hand was pressed against her throat, making her dare not say a word.

"What's this like? If you don't call me Master, you should at least call me cousin, right? Calling me by my full name all the time, how rude of you?"

Although he was only using the hilt of the sword to hold it in place, Su Qiuyi was still so frightened that his hair stood on end.

"Put that thing away from me! Speak properly!"

"Why are you here?" Su Qiuyi asked in a low voice.

"Come and join you!" Chu Mingxiao went straight to the point.

The voice was very small, but very penetrating, and Su Qiuyi heard it clearly.

"Come to me? Tell the truth!" Su Qiuyi didn't believe it. It was impossible for him to come to her for help if there was nothing wrong.

There must be something going on, someone wants to take advantage of me but is hiding it from me.

Chu Mingxiao said nothing and put a bag of silver on the table with a thud.

"Is it enough?"

Su Qiuyi shook his head. "I don't want money, I want my life!"

What a joke, she has no shortage of money, what she wants is her life and safety.

"Send four secret guards to protect your family!" Chu Mingxiao put forward another condition.

"No! I want absolute safety, not living in fear every day! I don't want to hide from others if they want me to be targeted!"

"Don't involve our family in whatever you do!"

Her fighting strength was not high enough, and the sword skills she had learned were just fancy moves. Although she had not stopped training these days, she still felt that she had no chance of winning if she applied them in actual combat.

She just wanted to live a peaceful life counting money, and didn't want to care about family or national wars.

"Everyone in Houshan Village knows that I am your cousin!" Seeing that his conditions didn't work, Chu Mingxiao began to threaten.

"Besides, I've done you a favor! I'm still your master!"

Su Qiuyi was not moved at all.

"I saved you too! All the good medicine was used on you!"

In terms of favors, no one owes anyone anything.

"I can continue to teach you martial arts until I can teach you!"

Chu Mingxiao used every aspect of himself he could.

Because he urgently needs an identity. The situation on the front line is tense and it will soon be deep winter. If it snows and the barbarians lack food and fodder, they will definitely launch a large-scale attack.

Before that, he had to recover the food and supplies lost in the army, or destroy them even if he couldn't snatch them back.

They must not be allowed to be taken by the barbarian army, otherwise they will become the force used by the barbarians to attack them.

It has been more than two months. Although the food and fodder at the front line were replenished in time, so much was lost, almost a month's food and fodder usage for the entire front-line army. The amount cannot be underestimated.

After he lost the clue and was nearly killed by the other party, he missed the best tracking opportunity. He has been tracking for many days but there is no news at all.

The only clue is that the bandits who shot the arrows that time should be in the Qinghe Mountain area.

So he hid his name and identity and traced all the way to Qinghe Town. His purpose of coming to this teahouse was similar to Su Qiuyi's, both wanted to get some information, but he didn't expect to meet this girl.

I saw this girl as soon as she came. Although she had changed a little after not seeing her for a month, her skin had become much whiter and her hair had become much darker and shinier, I could still recognize her at a glance.

"Then can you shoot arrows?" Su Qiuyi couldn't help but ask the last condition Chu Mingxiao said.

"Always hit the target!" Chu Mingxiao gave Su Qiuyi only four words without hesitation.

"Send four of the most capable secret guards to protect my father and sisters. The daily food expenses will be five taels of silver! They will also be responsible for teaching me swordplay and archery! Until I learn them well!"

"Okay!" Chu Mingxiao didn't hesitate.

"There's one more thing! If you want to live in my house as my cousin, you must be diligent! And be diligent with your hands and feet!"

"it is good!"

No matter what Su Qiuyi asked for, Chu Mingxiao readily agreed to it, even paying the five taels of food expenses for the day without blinking an eye.

But this made Su Qiuyi even more uneasy. She felt that the more Chu Mingxiao acted like this, the more dangerous the situation would become.
