Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

The two brothers Yuan Lao Er and Yuan Lao Si looked at each other and followed the medicine boy's footsteps.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go get our shopkeeper."

The medicine boy led them to the backyard, poured them a cup of tea and left.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a wealthy appearance and wearing a brocade robe walked in. Shopkeeper Liu had a happy look on his face. "I heard you have deer antlers?"

"Yes."

Yuan Laosi stood up and bowed to the shopkeeper. Yuan Laoer took down the backpack and laid out the antlers and deerskin. His movements were quite large, and the shopkeeper Liu looked distressed.

"Move slowly, don't break it." Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but speak out in pain.

Yuan Lao Er touched his nose and said, "We just caught this yesterday. The antlers are eight or nine forks long. Name your price."

Shopkeeper Liu walked forward and carefully picked up the antler on the table, examined it carefully, smelled it, and put it down.

"This antler is quite good. Together with the deerskin, I'll give you eighty taels of silver. Just look..." Shopkeeper Liu paused deliberately and glanced at the two Yuan brothers. "I'm paying you based on the rising prices, which is already a very high price."

Manager Liu was right. During the three years of drought, prices had skyrocketed. Normally, fifty taels of deer antler was considered a good price, and eighty taels was an extremely high price.

"Lanzhitang is the largest medical clinic in Chongguang County. The prices they offer are absolutely the fairest and justest. Just follow the price quoted by the owner." Yuan Laosi said with a gentle smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant.

In his heart, Manager Liu admired Yuan Laosi a little. He took out eighty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Yuan Laosi, saying, "You are quite tactful."

Normally when they collect these precious medicinal materials, those people always bargain for the price.

This is the first time I have seen someone so straightforward and sensible.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Yuan Laosi bowed to shopkeeper Liu.

Yuan Lao Er and Yuan Lao Si were about to leave with the money when they were stopped by Shopkeeper Liu: "Wait a minute."

The two brothers turned around and looked at Manager Liu with confusion in their eyes. Could it be that he regretted offering this price?

Shopkeeper Liu took out a folding fan from his bosom and said, "You two are very compatible with me. I have news for you. The border is about to fall, and although our county town is not the closest to the border, we must be prepared to escape at any time."

He just made a point, and the rest was up to them to decide.

Yuan Lao Er and Yuan Lao Si were filled with shock and the two brothers quickly knelt down.

"Thank you for the information, shopkeeper!"

"Let's go. After collecting the deer antlers, we have to pack up and run away." Shopkeeper Liu fanned himself with a folding fan and waved his hand.

The two brothers left Lanzhi Hall in a daze. They looked at each other and could see in each other's eyes that they couldn't believe that the border was about to be lost.

There were already carriages loaded with luggage in groups of three or four on the street, with the elderly, the weak, women and children sitting in the carriages with confused looks on their faces.

It seems that Manager Liu's information is true.

The two did not dare to stay and walked towards Yixuan Pavilion.

Yuanjia Village.

Ye Wan pulled the reluctant third daughter-in-law up the mountain.

The younger ones in the family also followed Ye Wan up the mountain, each carrying a basket.

It rained last night, so there must be a lot of wild vegetables, especially mushrooms, which are everywhere in the mountains.

The villagers happily picked basket after basket of wild vegetables and mushrooms and brought them down the mountain. After drying them, they had hope of survival again.

The whole village went out, and soon all the edible wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains were picked, and the mountains became bare again.

It only rained for one night, so they didn't dare to take the risk. They would rather pull out all the weeds than let them rot in the ground.

The Yuan family almost fell into chaos.

The reason was that Yaoyao had been sleeping. It was time for her to drink milk, but she closed her eyes and did not move. If it were not for the slight rise and fall of her chest that let Shen Chulan and Old Lady Liu know that she was still breathing, they would have called Doctor Zhang again.

In this way, Yaoyao slept until noon. She was woken up by hunger, and when she got up, she started humming and dancing.

"Mom, Yaoyao is awake." Shen Chulan was overjoyed and stuffed the food into Yaoyao's mouth.

Yaoyao didn't care what it was. She was so hungry that she didn't care about anything else. She just opened her stomach and sucked the milk hard.

Old Mrs. Liu didn't even put down the spatula and hurried into the house. She looked at Yaoyao who was sucking her breasts fiercely with a smile on her face and said, "It seems that this lazy pig is very hungry."

It's not easy to be the Rain God. She was exhausted from controlling the water mixed with spiritual spring water to make it rain all night long. Otherwise, how could those plants grow out of the ground overnight.

She was starving to death.

After eating and drinking her fill, Yaoyao happily resolved the major event in her life and started playing with bubbles.

Old Mrs. Liu carried Yaoyao out of the house and basked in the sun under the eaves. Old man Yuan brought a low stool with a pipe bag and sat next to the old woman, watching Yaoyao blowing bubbles happily.

Yaoyao was blowing bubbles from her mouth, looking at Old Man Yuan with her black eyes, and her chubby little hands quickly reached out and grabbed Old Man Yuan's beard.

"Oh, my precious granddaughter's hands are so fast." Old man Yuan was not angry when his beard was pulled, but he praised Yaoyao.

Giggle, giggle, the clear laughter of a baby echoed in the small yard.

Yuan Laosan walked into the yard carrying firewood on his back, and seeing Yaoyao grinning like a toothless man, he couldn't help but walk up to her, squatted down, stretched out a finger and hooked Yaoyao's chubby hand to play with it.

Yaoyao looked at Yuan Laosan with her big black eyes and gave him a big smile.

The third son's wife came into the yard with a basket on her back and saw her husband having fun with that money-losing guy, and she curled her lips.

"If you really want children so much, why don't you try harder? Maybe I'm pregnant."

What happened in bed was said openly, and Yuan Laosan's face turned so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.

Seeing Yaoyao's curious look, Old Lady Liu immediately darkened her face and said, "Shameless bitch, go back to your room and don't come out for lunch!"

"Mom, why? I worked today, why don't you let me eat?" The third son's wife couldn't help but yelled.

Old Mrs. Liu looked at her less than half basket of mushrooms and wild vegetables and knew that she was being lazy again.

"An An has more stuff in her basket than you, and you still say you worked! You're just like a lazy old hen hatching eggs!"

Just then, Guoan came in carrying a basket on his back. Old Mrs. Liu knew at a glance that there were more things in the basket than in the third son's wife's.

This third son's wife is really not as good as the three-year-old Guoan!

The third daughter-in-law felt humiliated and ran into the house angrily.

"Yaoyao, grandma will hold you for a walk. It's not good to be exposed to the sun too much." Old Mrs. Liu stood up holding Yaoyao and walked along the eaves.

When she walked into the main hall, Yaoyao smelled a smell that made her feel particularly uncomfortable. When she saw the statue enshrined in the main hall, her dark eyes kept staring at the statue.

"Wow wow~"

Old Mrs. Liu hugged Yaoyao and tried to comfort her, "Why are you crying so hard all of a sudden, Yaoyao?"

"Oh oh oh, don't cry, don't cry, Yaoyao, be good."

As a result, the more I coaxed the baby in my arms, the harder he cried, as if he was in a nightmare.
