After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

"You want to scare me to death, don't you?"

Shen Jinyao's tone was no longer as cold as before, but was filled with anger.

Across from her, a person was hanging upside down on a tree.

This person is no one else.

It was Ergou from Changshou Village.

Shen Jinyao calmed down afterwards and felt that Ergou's basic skills were still good.

I just suffer from inadequate nutrition and not enough training.

Ergou didn't expect that the big sister who had just threatened him and given him peaches would be so rude.

He rolled over and jumped down from the tree.

At this time, Shen Jinyao had already taken out the hidden weapon from the space, and his whole body was in an attacking posture.

She thought that if Ergou took a step forward, she would kill him.

Who knows whether Ergou noticed her actions.

In short, after Ergou jumped down from the tree, he stayed there motionless.

Ergou asked, "Where are you going?"

Shen Jinyao said warily: "Why should I tell you?"

"That's not the point. The point is why are you following me?"

Ergou seemed a little tired of standing, so he sat down on the ground.

Shen Jinyao looked at the child in front of her who did not play by the rules and could not guess what she wanted to do.

So Shen Jinyao also sat on the ground.

The two of them just looked at each other, and finally Ergou spoke.

"Are you going to Baoyun Ridge?"

Shen Jinyao glanced at Ergou cautiously, "Why are you so concerned about our family's affairs?"

Ergou: "I know the situation in Baoyunling."

Shen Jinyao and Ergou each said their own thing.

Shen Jinyao saw in Ergou a steadiness and maturity that did not belong to his age.

She asked, "How old are you?"

She did not let Ergou get what he wanted and did not continue with his question.

Ergou was stumped by Shen Jinyao's question. This person was as cunning as a fox and wouldn't take the bait at all.

Shen Jinyao looked at Ergou, who was about to answer, and added, "You'd better tell the truth."

After hearing this, Ergou smiled at Shen Jinyao and said, "Seven years old."

Shen Jinyao obviously didn't expect Ergou to be only seven years old.

His height is almost catching up with nine-year-old Zhixue.

Although Ergou is not talkative and even very cold, from her interactions with him, she can see that he is a smart child.

Even understand a lot.

Therefore, Shen Jinyao always thought that Ergou was at least nine years old.

So, Ergou is the same age as Zhiye, and only one year older than Shen Leyao.

Shen Jinyao opened her mouth and then said, "I never thought you would look so...strong."

However, this matter is a bit strange. After all, according to the village chief, Ergou has only been in Changshou Village for a year.

Normally, he only ate food cooked by Dr. Gao and donated by villagers.

How could a child who eats food from many different families grow up so well?

She thought that perhaps the village chief was hiding something, or perhaps Ergou's previous life was not simple.

Ergou didn't want Shen Jinyao to continue asking this question.

He asked impatiently, "Don't you want to know what's going on in Baoyun Ridge?"

Who is Shen Jinyao?

She is a modern female soldier who traveled through time.

He is a person who has control over the space with his hands and has some skills with his feet.

Could it be that she couldn't understand what Ergou meant?

She asked calmly, "Why are you asking me so urgently? What do you want?"

No one comes to the temple for no reason. She was the first one who didn't believe that Ergou had no intention towards them.

Ergou didn't expect Shen Jinyao to be so difficult to deal with.

He is just an old fox.

Ergou sighed, looked into the distance, and said sadly, "I want to go to Raozhou."

Shen Jinyao: "Going to Raozhou?"

Ergou nodded: "I heard Le Yao and the others talking about Raozhou, so I knew you were going there."

Shen Jinyao smiled coolly, "Why do you want to go to Raozhou?"

Ergou: "Because of Doctor Gao."

For some reason, Shen Jinyao felt that this reason was far-fetched.

However, she also remembered that the village chief said that Dr. Gao took his granddaughter to Raozhou to visit relatives.

But Dr. Gao, won’t you be back soon?

Ergou seemed to understand Shen Jinyao's doubts.

He went on to say, "Before Doctor Gao left, he said he might not come back."

"I want to go to Raozhou with you."

Shen Jinyao felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched, but when she thought of Ergou, who had been an orphan and had no one to rely on, perhaps Dr. Gao was really important to him.

Even though there were many loopholes, she had no intention of continuing to ask questions.

Instead, he said, "Then tell me what's going on in Baoyun Ridge?"

I didn’t expect that Ergou has seen so much of the world at such a young age.

She thought again that based on Ergou's ability, she should not starve to death if she went to Raozhou.

Why do you have to go with them?

There were too many doubts, but she knew that even if she asked, she wouldn't get any answers.

Ergou heard Shen Jinyao say again: "Let's see if the news you said is worth it. We will take you to Raozhou."

Ergou pondered for a long time and finally had to compromise.

According to the current situation, it would be safest for him to follow Le Yao and the others.

If he could escape back by himself, he would have left Changshou Village long ago.

Now we can only give it a try.

But this woman was not as easy to deal with as he thought.

Ergou sighed softly and said, "Baoyun Ridge is a place rich in minerals in Yanzhou and even the entire Jiuzhou Kingdom."

"You should know what the mineral resources can be used for, otherwise you would definitely not want to go and see it."

Shen Jinyao did not refute and gestured for him to continue.

Ergou continued, "There are three main types of ores in Baoyun Ridge. One is managed by the government, one is owned by wealthy businessmen, and the other is..."

“It’s a wild mine dug by the locals themselves.”

"The difference between these three types is the amount of ore mined. The mines supervised by the government have the largest amount, and the mines contracted by wealthy businessmen are second only..."

"The amount mined by ordinary people themselves is very small, and they usually sell it to wealthy merchants."

Shen Jinyao listened very carefully. She didn't expect Baoyunling to be so complicated.

Ergou glanced at Shen Jinyao and continued, "If you want to buy ore, it's sold locally. If you want to contract a mine..."

Shen Jinyao: "How?"

Ergou: "Many of them have already been bought by wealthy businessmen. You'll have to try your luck when the time comes. Besides, you'll have to prepare a lot of money."

Shen Jinyao nodded, she had plenty of money.

She was afraid that they would need the household registration book, so she had to find a way.

This is perfect, she can stock up more when the time comes.

If she can't buy it, she will find a way to buy it for free.

Shen Jinyao asked, "Are you done?"

Ergou looked at Shen Jinyao with a calm face and couldn't help but feel curious. Wasn't this person going to buy ore?

"That's all, then Raozhou..."

Shen Jinyao turned around and walked to the side of the carriage and said, "We'll see when the time comes."

She felt that Ergou was too scheming and a very complicated person, so she couldn't take him with her.

Ergou was not angry after hearing this.

He watched Shen Jinyao's carriage go farther and farther away.

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. There were many forces there and it was so chaotic. Whether she could come back alive was another matter.

If that doesn't work, I'll go ask Le Yao for help...
