With ten taels of silver in his pocket, Tang Qiyue started to go shopping.

Two pieces of cotton clothing suitable for Zhaobao, two pieces of linen clothing suitable for his parents, two pieces each for his elder brother and younger sister, and two pairs of straw sandals for each person.

Originally, Tang Qiuyue was planning to buy some comfortable embroidered shoes, but since they were fleeing famine, straw sandals were convenient and would not attract attention, so she gave up the idea.

One pound of coarse salt, one pound of white sugar, and two ounces of sesame oil.

At present, he could only buy these things he needed. After paying the silver, Tang Qiyue put it in the backpack and walked towards the city gate. His eyes fell on the faces of several strangers around him, and he curled his lips slightly.

It seems that she is still a little too high-profile.

Look, you've been targeted.

Tang Qiyue turned and entered a desolate alley.

"People are gone? Why are they gone?"

"Look for it quickly, look for it quickly."

Tang Qiyue stood in the space and sneered at the two not-so-thin men outside.

"That kid spent a lot of money. Didn't you see that his backpack was full? He must have a lot of money. Let's do some work today. We won't have to worry about the next few days and we can even eat meat."

"That sounds good, but hurry up and look for him. We can't let him get away!"

Tang Qiyue left the space, crossed her arms and said with a smile, "Are you looking for me?"

A strange voice suddenly came from behind them, scaring the two brothers so much that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. They turned around with stiff necks and saw Tang Qiyue, swallowing hard.

"Are you looking for me? Why do I hear you say you want to rob me of my money?"

Seeing Tang Qiyue's indifferent expression, the two brothers looked at each other.

This guy in front of us is just like a little chicken, what are we two afraid of? Eat meat, eat meat.

As if she hadn't noticed the quarrel between the two brothers, Tang Qiyue curled her lips and asked, "Are you still going to fight for it?"

Such provocative words made the two brothers furious and they waved their fists at Tang Qiyue.

boom--

Two figures flew in a parabola and hit the wall, raising a cloud of dust.

"Ouch, ouch."

Tang Qiyue walked towards the two men step by step, squatted down, and raised his palm to strike down, without giving the two men a chance to react, and directly knocked them unconscious.

Enduring the stench from the two men, Tang Qiyue flipped over their chests and curled the corners of her lips, "So poor."

Seeing that he had less than a hundred copper coins in his hand, Tang Qiuyue kept ten.

It's all caused by natural disasters. She is not a person who likes killing. Just teach them a lesson.

Tang Qiuyue exchanged the remaining copper coins for steamed buns at a steamed bun stall.

Before, one copper coin could buy two steamed buns, but now one steamed bun costs two copper coins, which is much more expensive. This is a hard-earned fortune. Baozi is even more frightening, only five copper coins can buy one, why? Why else? Meat is expensive.

If you want to eat but don’t have money, then go away.

Tang Qiyue left the city and headed straight for her own resting place, just in time to see Zhaobao, who was being held in Lin's arms and pouted with grievance. She was so distressed that she couldn't think of anything else, and quickly hugged him to comfort him.

Boss Hu came over and asked, "Miss Tang, can you still settle down in this city?"

Fifteen taels per person, he doesn’t know whether others have it or not, but he does.

Tang Qiyue paused as she patted Zizi's back and said, "Sure, but I won't settle down."

As for the reason, Tang Qiyue would not point it out.

Boss Hu thought about it and nodded, then returned to the others, all of whom were anxious, "Boss Hu, how about this? Can we settle down here?"

Between spending fifteen taels of silver and continuing to flee, they preferred the former.

"Okay, but you have to think it over carefully. I went into the city yesterday and looked around, and there was food and other things." He told them what he saw.

"Then I'll stay here."

"Me too. My son and I are the only ones left at home. I don't want to leave anymore."

"Fifteen taels! That's too much." Thinking of their life savings, they were all troubled.

But when they think about settling down, many people think it is a good deal.

After all, there is still not enough money.

Lin was used to her daughter buying a bunch of essential items and she didn't ask Tang Qiyue where she got the money. Her daughter was a capable one and she couldn't hold her back.

Tang Qiyue shared the steamed buns she bought with everyone, including her teammates. She was not stingy, and the copper coins were also robbed. If she was greedy, she would feel uneasy.

The other refugees, who were starving from time to time, swallowed hard as they looked at the steamed buns in Tang Qiyue's hands. Want to grab them? Who dares? Look at the strong man in the team. He can beat three of them with one punch.

After an hour of decision-making, the original team of more than 20 people was reduced to only Tang Qiyue's family, Boss Hu, Lin San, Granny Mo, Xu Fang, Aunt Fang and her daughter, and an unconscious young man.

Others wanted to settle down here, even though some of them did not have enough money. They just held on to a chance, wondering what if they had less money to settle down tomorrow?

Tang Qiyue knew very well that the amount of money could not be less, but he would not just say that she would not force it.

Just when Tang Qiyue and his friends left, people from Daohua Village arrived.

It would take another month to reach the capital. Tang Qiyue looked up at the scorching sun, wondering if it was her illusion, but the weather these days didn't seem as hot as before, and the temperature at night even made her youngest daughter complain about being cold.

Something is wrong.

There were fewer and fewer refugees moving forward on the official road. Horse-drawn carriages were passing by. Tang Qiyue led the group to the innermost side, trying not to attract attention.

"what--"

A shrill scream came from the front. Tang Qiyue's scalp went numb and she immediately protected Zhao Bao in her arms. Xu Fang, who was walking in front of her, raised his hand to stop them, "Something happened up ahead."

He is tall and can see far away just by standing on tiptoe.

Blood spurted from the woman's neck and the tall man's arm was chopped off.

"This is a government road, who dares to cause trouble?" Granny Mo asked in confusion, leaning on her walking stick.

Boss Hu ran from the back to the front and said, "You guys are lagging behind. These people are bandits who kill without blinking an eye."

Hearing this, Tang Qiyue's pupils shrank. She quickly took off Zhao Bao from her arms and handed him to Lin. She looked at Tang San and said, "Dad, lead everyone back and find a place to hide. Quickly!"

The refugees in front were in chaos, running backwards frantically and were almost in front of them.

"Go away." Tang Qiyue shouted, clutching the dagger.

She has been in this strange world for almost half a year, and this is the first time she has encountered vicious bandits. Why is she inexplicably excited?

Tang Lao San didn't care about anything else and ran back to protect Lin and the little girl. Xie Changjin was pushed by Lin San and Granny Mo was carried on Tang Qingshu's back.

The remaining three people, Tang Qiyue, Boss Hu and Xu Fang, looked at each other and ran forward against the flow of people.

The speed was very fast, and they helped up the child and the elderly who had fallen to the ground.

“Hey, there are still people who are not afraid of death!”
