Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 27

So he coaxed: "They come later, let's go first."

"Mom, I also think...it's not good." At this time, the eldest son also hesitated to speak, his mother's words could deceive the younger brother but not him.

"Hey! What are you all doing? We only have 400 taels, understand? They want 100 taels a person, how can so many people leave! Why do you want to stay and exchange for others?"

Mrs. Li was very depressed, and it was not welcome to take them away with her.Seeing that Wu Erlang didn't speak, she turned her head and snorted coldly, you bastard!

After saying this, the eldest son obediently shut up.

"Mother, I can stay, you change...for..." Xiao Shitou made a difficult choice. "Change grandpa." He went to the room to see, grandma seemed to be unable to walk.

What she said almost made Mrs. Li mad, she raised her hand and started beating the child.

A duet of crying and howling was heard in the alley. It turned out that the boss was also frightened and cried when his mother beat his younger brother.

After crying for a while, no one said that this is not good or that is not good, so I stayed.

The four of them left the city gate, waiting to leave.

For an afternoon, several people were a little silent.

Even if there is too much unhappiness, after all, they have lived together for so many years, not to mention Wu Erlang's biological parents who were left behind.

Wu Erlang squatted on the ground with his head supported, thinking of many things.

His mother used to carry him to the field, his father patted him on the shoulder when he got married, his sister-in-law gave him candy when he first entered the house, and his niece and nephew called him second uncle.

But even so, until Zi Shi, he still didn't say a word of "go back".

It's okay, Mrs. Song will distribute food to them anyway.Even if...

I will live with the blood of the old Wu family!Wu Erfan thought to himself in his heart.

Unexpectedly, it was not Dafang who lost their blood first, but themselves.

Wu Erlang lay in a pool of blood, staring wide-eyed at the pitch-black sky.

And He Yanxin witnessed the whole process of the four of them from birth to death.

When he saw Wu Erlang coming in over the wall in the middle of the night, he was so furious that there was nothing to add.What is this for?
Seeing him go straight into the kitchen, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was thankful that he bought a lock himself.

He followed the other party to the next door, wanting to see what they were up to.

Different from Wu Erlang's dullness, He Yanxin could tell at a glance that Mrs. Li was going to run away.

After hesitating for a while, he still followed a few people.Lady Li actually found a way to leave Qizhou?

Later, he followed up with the man who met Li Niangzi.The man turned around and came to an ordinary house.

There are two adult men inside, including the beggar at the gate of the city and the person who turned into the alley.

After the man went in, he said excitedly, he took the bait of a big fat sheep, and after they finished this time, they would have collected enough money.

It turned out that this man was not a rich man at all, but a bandit.

During King Qi's suppression of bandits, they just went down the mountain to drink flower wine. When they saw the cottage under siege, they ran away without looking back.

After hiding for a few days, I really couldn't stand the wind, eating and sleeping in the open.He went to a family outside the county seat, took advantage of the silence of the night and robbed more than 100 taels of silver.

Later, when they wandered around the county, they heard that the government posted a notice.Several of them were illiterate, so they found out that Qizhou was closed after asking others.Then the king of Qi recruited troops with grain.

Who are they?Bandits!It's a natural antagonistic relationship with soldiers, so I don't go there!
However, he did know the guards, but they were just a few guards.

Those soldiers were the same group who were arrested in the cottage at the beginning, and those people also expressed their loyalty, saying that being a soldier is not a job that people can do.

You have to get up before dawn, you have to train every day, and you have to go to war. Several brothers have already died.

This frightened the four people even more, and even wanted to run out of Qizhou, where the sky was high and the birds were flying.After all, the other party revealed the news that King Qi was going to recruit troops again.

They are so strong(?) that they will be captured.So I asked that brother if there was a way to get out of the customs.

The brother said that if there is one, it’s just that most people cannot afford it.If the man says it's okay, you say it, and the other party will give you a five.

So the 100 taels per person that the man told Mrs. Li was also a lie to her. In fact, 500 taels per person is needed to get out of customs.And that exit is not at Juhuang Pass, but at Julu Pass.

The 500 taels would have been easy to grab if they were bandits in the past, but they are used to being extravagant, and now they have a total of more than 20 taels left on their bodies.This gap is not generally large.

After going back, the four of them thought about it and decided to leave.But where can I go to snatch out 2000 taels of silver?People outside don't have that much money.

So a few people turned their attention to the wealthy households in the county.But when I observed these wealthy households, I realized that it was really difficult to start.

These people are extremely vigilant, and their doors are usually closed.There were also vigils in the middle of the night, and it was really impossible to eat with the strength of four people.

Then the leading man turned his attention to those who came to sell grain, and found that they also came with a lot of money.

So he pretended to be a rich man who went to buy grain, and then unintentionally revealed that he could leave Qizhou because of his relationship, and when he took the bait and brought money, he directly robbed and killed him.

There is no need to worry about the whereabouts of the purchased grain. If you sell it to a rich household, you can also observe suitable people there.

If the other party sells a lot of food, they will follow the past and start directly. If they sell less, they will not let it go. They will put a long line and catch big fish.

Usually when there are no "fat sheep", I go to some families outside the city to rob and kill a wave.

In this way, within two months, 1000 taels of silver were saved. How many people have been hurt to get it?

But that's still not enough.

The brothers on the other side of the gate are also urging, saying that it will be stricter after a while, so don't even think about going out.

In the end, the man thought, if the money is not enough, there can be fewer people!

He first made an appointment with the one with whom he had the best relationship, and conspired to kill the weakest of the four together.

Another hesitated because he was on good terms with him, but he eventually joined.Don't think that bandits have human nature.

Unexpectedly, the one who finally helped them realize their wishes was the little fish and shrimp that men despised at first—Ms. Li.

After the four of them killed Wu Erlang's family, they finally collected enough money.In the end, they didn't even bury the body, so they rushed to Julu Pass.

He Yanxin watched his hands pass through the gangster's body again and again, and gradually became numb.

Are Wu Erlang and his wife hateful?hateful!But they shouldn't be killed just like that, nor should they be searched for their money and exposed to the wilderness with their naked bodies.

Especially those two children, facing the tragic death of their parents, they lost their lives before they had time to be afraid.

This made him feel powerless again.

And He Yanxin looked at his clean hands, why should he be tortured like this?

I don't know if he wanted to find out their final whereabouts, but He Yanxin followed behind them.

The three rushed to Julu Pass, enduring the uneasiness in their hearts caused by being surrounded by soldiers, and called out the brother guarding the pass.

The man came out, followed by a few soldiers, who were also from their cottage.

Afraid of long nights and dreams, they only exchanged a few words, and the man in charge told them that they had collected enough money and could arrange the exit.

But after taking out the banknote, what was waiting was not freedom, but a neat wipe of the neck.

No way, they want to leave too.

The former brothers who drank and robbed together in the cottage helped the three of them close their eyes, then turned and left.

Like the three of them, the bandits captured by King Qi were also afraid of death, so they thought about it when they heard that they could be released for 200 taels of silver without being regarded as deserters.

But today is different, where do you get money when you are a few gangsters in the barracks?
What they said at the beginning was not false. The life in the barracks was really not for bandits who used to drink and eat meat and act recklessly.And there is still a fight, and the body may be decapitated at any time.

If you can leave, you will naturally leave.

Not long after, the person who solved the problem came to the door himself.Hearing that the four fish that slipped through the net also wanted to leave, so they took it to heart.

He knew the ability of several people to rob houses, so it was not difficult to get the money.So the silver was said to be 500 taels and let them get it.

As for why they were killed in the end?
Now that the checkpoints are strictly guarded, and people need to be interrogated when entering and exiting, why take the risk of bringing people in?Wouldn't it be good to keep the remaining money for them to spend after they leave customs?

It's really good reincarnation.

As if watching an absurd drama, He Yanxin drifted home, trying to shrink his body close to Mrs. Song's arms.Although I can't draw the slightest temperature, I still feel at ease.

"Qing Niang." He murmured, obviously a wandering soul who would never get tired, but at this moment he seemed too tired to speak.

He thought this was the most frustrating scene.But what happened two months later made his eyes drip with blood and tears.
