Chapter 8 Encounter
Xunbei is considered a big city, and Miyi County is a small county under the jurisdiction of Xunbei City. It is still some distance away from Xunbei. If you take a car, it will take about three or four days to get there.

Nanny Jin's cousin lived in Miyi County, and the closer they got to Miyi County, the more uneasy they felt.I don't know if they are still there after so many years of no communication.

When they entered the city, in order to look like poor people, the two still picked up a cheap inn to stay.After asking the innkeeper if the journey to Miyi was easy, they casually ate some noodle soup and wotou at the inn, then closed the door and rested in the room.

Although Xunbei is a big city, the largest city after leaving the capital, there are many prosperity.But the two single women, in order not to cause trouble, just stayed in the inn obediently, and went out to inquire tomorrow morning to see if there was a caravan going to Miyi County or a carriage that could be used as a companion.

Although they were already very cautious, they ate the most humble food and wore the shabby clothes as much as possible along the way.The few solid gold and silver jewelry brought out did not dare to show at all.

Even so, they were still missed.

On the morning of the second day in Xunbei City, Ye Xinyan and Nanny Jin ate some simple food and went out to the street.After inquiring about it for a day, I found a tooth dealer. After spending dozens of dollars, I got together with a few small traders and made an appointment to set off together on the third day to Miyi County.

I don't know if it's because of the high professional level of the Xunbei thief, or because Ye Xinyan's luck has run out.The journey went smoothly, and they, who had never been eye-catching, were followed by others.

Ye Xinyan and the two who were being targeted didn't notice anything. They thought about starting again tomorrow and needed to buy some dry food items, so they didn't rush back to the inn. items.

He had just entered the streets of the West Market, and before he had walked a few steps, two people in the bustling crowd started arguing.

It's so hard to die, these two people are right in front of Ye Xinyan and Nanny Jin, and the situation of the dispute has taken a turn for the worse, a few words are wrong, and the two of them are pulling together, and it is about to rise to the height of a fight.

Another person who was with them stepped forward to dissuade them, and the three tore up.

Ye Xinyan and Jin Momo hid aside when they started arguing.But since they intend to scheme against them, how can they escape smoothly.In addition, the West Market is lively. Although it is not crowded, there are always pedestrians on the road, and it is not so easy to escape quickly.

Just as Ye Xinyan was pulling Nanny Jin and retreating away from the passers-by, the three people who were pulling together had already come to him, not only bumped into Ye Xinyan, but also knocked several other passers-by.

At this time, two more people stepped forward to dissuade them, and the scene became even more chaotic.

Ye Xinyan and Nanny Jin ran away from home, so of course they couldn't cause trouble. Although they were knocked over a few times, they didn't dare to argue with them in the end, and immediately withdrew from the chaotic crowd.

As soon as they left, they heard someone yell, "The official messenger is here."

Hearing the sound, the people who were doing the work stopped immediately, and ran away without a trace in a blink of an eye.Pedestrians on the road looked around and saw that there was nothing wrong, so they walked as usual, and the street returned to normal in a short time.

Ye Xinyan was the first to notice something was wrong. She felt that something was wrong with her waist. When she lowered her head, she saw a big hole in the jacket on her stomach, and the cotton was turned outwards. She and Nanny Jin supported each other. too conspicuous.

Ye Xinyan subconsciously looked at Nanny Jin's clothes, and Nanny Jin also noticed something was wrong, she looked down, her face turned pale instantly, she opened her mouth to shout, but Ye Xinyan softly called out: "Mother-in-law!"

Nanny Jin looked up in shock and anger. Ye Xinyan was already holding onto her arm tightly to cover the holes in the clothes of the two of them, and tried to speak in a normal voice: "We have to go back to the inn to prepare things, go back quickly Bar."

Nanny Jin opened her mouth, and immediately came to her senses, the two of them had no way to guide them, only their identities could not be revealed.If they yell that they have lost their money, they must report to the officials, and their identities will become a problem at that time.

The two walked with each other supporting each other. In order not to attract attention, they used the supporting movement to block their arms from the tattered clothes on their abdomen.

Turning to a secluded place, Jin's tears fell, "These murderers, we have already had such a hard time, and they were stolen by thieves."

Ye Xinyan quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Mother-in-law, stop the tears, we are people without identity, and we must not let others know that our property has been stolen." She dared not report the stolen property to the authorities. I knew they had a problem.

Nanny Jin quickly stopped her grief, but she couldn't hide the panic on her face.Without money, how will they live in the future?
Ye Xinyan said helplessly: "Grandma, those things can't be recovered anymore. We can't make people doubt our identities, and you have to pretend that nothing happened, so that we can leave Xunbei City smoothly."

For the property of nearly a thousand taels of silver, but dare not say anything, let people know this situation, and maybe they will be threatened.Xunbei City is no longer a safe place for them, the sooner they leave, the better.

The two walked slowly, Ye Xinyan persuaded in a low voice, and when they returned to the inn, Nanny Jin's expression was no longer obviously sad.

The two avoided people and entered the room, their spirits suddenly collapsed.He didn't even bother to mend the clothes, just sat silently by the bed in a daze, not even in the mood to talk.

After a long time, Ye Xinyan asked: "When did the mother-in-law think those thieves were after us? Those small traders who made an appointment with us should be fine, right?"

If the toothbrush or small traders were involved in the theft, then they could not go on the road with them, and had to find another way.

Nanny Jin recalled the ins and outs of their going out, and said weakly: "We have lived in the capital for a long time, and we always follow many people back and forth when we go out. We have never paid attention to these things."

"However, it seems that those vendors are not all the way, they are all impromptu, not to mention there is a vendor with his wife. Robbery, you have to find a few reliable people to do it together, I think It should have nothing to do with merchants."

Ye Xinyan was right in thinking.Just such a thing scared them almost to death.

Ye Xinyan had a lot of experience walking on busy streets in her previous life, but she upholds the principle of being cautious, as long as she puts her things away, nothing will happen to her.I have never seen such a ferocious thief, who can cut through a thick cotton coat and steal things quietly.

This is probably the reason why the industry is underdeveloped, so the manual skills are required to be more exquisite, and even thieves are more skilled.It has to be said that the methods used by thieves in this era really have a high technical content.

Hehe, such a high level of eyesight and technical content actually made her come across it.

The valuables they brought have been stolen, and now there are only a few scattered silver taels left.Fortunately, when they went out today, for the convenience of shopping, the two of them put some broken silver in their purses and sleeves.

I originally planned to buy some dry food for the road, but now it seems that I still don't buy it.Going outside to buy some miscellaneous noodles, giving the inn some firewood money, and making some nests and pasting pancakes by yourself is cheaper than buying dry food.

Not only now, but I'm afraid that for a long time, they will have to live on tight schedules.
