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

Sure enough, Shen Jinyao guessed right.

She then asked, "Are you afraid of this place?"

Ergou glanced at Shen Jinyao and said, "Not exactly. I was sold here and then went to Changshou Village."

This answer was something Shen Jinyao had never expected.

She said, “Where are you originally from?”

Ancheng is not just a simple border, it is the border between Kyushu Kingdom and the Western Regions.

Many people from the Western Regions will appear here.

She wondered if Ergou was from the Western Regions?

Ergou turned around without looking at Shen Jinyao.

He said: "I don't know where I was from. I was too young at the time."

Shen Jinyao looked at Ergou's back, she knew that Ergou must be lying.

An ordinary homeless child would have become a beggar long ago.

Not only did he go to the Longevity Village, he also had some kung fu skills.

Sometimes when I listen to Ergou talk, I feel that he is a person with good conversation and good manners.

She always felt that Ergou's identity was not simple.

But she couldn't pry open Ergou's mouth.

She thought that as long as it didn't hurt the Shen family, she would allow Ergou to lie to her.

Shen Jinyao said, "Don't worry, we're here. If you really don't want to go into the city, you can wait here with Grandma and the others."

Ergou thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, I'll go into the city with you."

……

The final people to enter the city were the four brothers of the Shen family, the three sisters of the Shen family, and Ergou.

Zong Shi was also accompanying them, while Zong Cheng and the five brothers of the Meng family stayed behind to take care of the rest of the people.

After entering the city, Shen Jinyao gave Zhixue more than ten taels of silver.

As for why it was not given to Zhiyong.

This is common knowledge recognized by everyone.

Shen Jinyao had given Zhiyong money before, but he either lost it or miscalculated the money.

Finally, he suggested that Zhixue be in charge of the money from now on.

Shen Jinyao asked: "Zhixue, do you know what to buy?"

Zhixue nodded and said, "Food, clothes, and meat."

These are things that must be bought every time, and Zhixue knows how to buy them.

Shen Jinyao let them go with peace of mind and told Ergou not to get lost.

She drove her own carriage to go shopping.

This is the Western Regions, and there are many things that cannot be seen in the Central Plains.

Shen Jinyao went to the grocery store and bought a lot of good things.

She bought two telescopes. Although they were not as good as modern telescopes, they could see to a certain distance.

I also bought a few lightweight crossbows.

This type of crossbow is suitable for children and women who have less strength.

She was even allowed to buy a glass cup.

She felt that it was not enough. She thought that these little gadgets could make money when she got to Quzhou in the future.

So she found out about a wholesale place.

There are things from the Western Regions there, and they are cheaper if you buy a lot.

Shen Jinyao bought lightweight items that were popular with women and children.

Things like this sell well.

If there is no space, three carriages will not be able to accommodate it.

She even bought cucumber, tomato and potato seeds, but whether they can be grown depends on the soil.

People in the Western Regions like to eat beef and mutton, and beef and mutton are sold in the market.

Shen Jinyao bought ten of them at one time and asked them to be sent to a deserted place. Then Shen Jinyao put them into the space.

In short, Shen Jinyao kept buying things and only went to look for those children when she had almost bought everything.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he saw Zhiyong and his companions surrounded by a group of people from the Western Regions.

When she arrived, Shen Tingyao looked aggrieved.

She whispered, "I promised myself it wasn't my fault this time."

Shen Jinyao glanced at her.

This time she learned her lesson, wearing men's clothes and smearing her face with black paint.

After coming out, I didn’t buy anything randomly, I just looked around.

She always walks at the end of the team.

Shen Jinyao looked and saw that the person arguing at the front was Shen Zhiyong.

"My third brother said, you calculated wrong, you calculated wrong."

The grain store owner chuckled and said, "I can't have made a mistake. This is exactly the amount."

There were three people standing behind the grain store owner, who seemed to be the store's employees.

Zongshi on the side said, "Boss, please calculate again."

The grain store owner got angry and said, "If you don't want to buy, forget it. I won't sell it to you."

Shen Zhixue said, "Then give me our money."

The grain store owner said, "How could I take your money? Did anyone see it?"

Zongshi drew his sword and pointed it at the grain store owner, "We already gave you money just now, and you still say you didn't?"

The store owner was not frightened when he saw the sword, but smiled again and said, "Don't worry, my friend. Perhaps the clerk forgot."

He pushed the sword outward and winked at his valet.

Shen Jinyao noticed that the guy had walked away.

It looks like he's going to get help.

But the grain store owner kept hiding the truth from Zongshi.

There were many passers-by around, but judging from their expressions, they seemed to be used to it.

Shen Jinyao thought, maybe they had entered a black shop?

She looked into the store and saw only one clerk watching, while the others were outside.

Shen Jinyao walked forward, looked at Zhixue and said, "Zhixue, how much food did you buy in total?"

When Shen Zhixue saw his elder sister coming, he immediately felt confident.

"Brother Jin, I bought ten bags of food in total. Five bags of mixed noodles and five bags of mixed rice."

Shen Jinyao nodded and took out the machete on his back.

She put the knife to the grain store owner's neck.

"Zhiyong, what are you looking at? Take them and move the food."

No one else reacted, only Zhiyong and Ergou ran to the grain store after hearing it.

The other guys wanted to help.

They were all controlled by Zongshi.

After Ergou entered, he first used his sword to block the guys in the room.

Zhiyong, Zhixue and others hurried to move the food.

Shen Tingyao and Le Yao were carrying a bag of grain.

The grain store owner was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead. He trembled and said, "Please spare my life, my dear lords. I was just joking with you gentlemen."

Shen Jinyao noticed that the grain store owner was looking back, probably waiting for his reinforcements.

"Who's making so much noise here?"

A lazy voice came from not far away. Shen Jinyao looked over and saw that the man looked like a gangster.

Behind him were a dozen people holding sticks.

Shen Jinyao gave Zongshi a look.

She then called out, "Ergou, come out."

Before the grain store owner could react, all the people who had come to steal his grain got on the carriage.

Before getting on the carriage, Ergou glanced at the man who was rushing over.

Now only Shen Jinyao and Zong Shi are left outside.

The rest of the people all got on the carriage.

Behind Shen Jinyao were two carriages.

The man laughed after seeing this, "Run? You wish."

"Fuck them all!"

Ergou: "Zhiyong, hurry up and get in the car!"

Zhiyong: “But…”

Ergou: "Don't worry, they can catch up."

Zhixue and Zhiyong each took a carriage, whipped the horse and ran away.

After the carriage drove away, Shen Jinyao and Zong Shi turned around and ran.

"Chase him! Uh..."

Shen Jinyao took a look and saw that the ruffian was hit by an arrow in the chest!
