Chapter 23 The Excited Master Ma

"Yes, five pieces!" Master Ma tossed the money to Mrs. Su generously.

Mrs. Su hurriedly took it, warmly and cooperatively filled Master Ma with five slices of meatloaf, and said with bent eyes: "Master Ma, it is right to have fun in time."

Master Ma was stimulated by something, and he had the aura of robbery: "Bring out whatever delicious food you have, and I'll buy it!"

Wen Nuan raised her eyebrows, and took out two packs of chicken popcorn from the basket: "A pack of two taels of silver..."

"I want both packs!"

Wen Nuan and Su's doubted whether the majestic Mr. Ma in front of him was the same person as the fat man who was digging and searching.

What they don't know is that this master horse is actually a serious horse lover. He was reluctant to buy a horse when money was good and life was smooth. Now, the money to buy a few catties of grain is enough to buy a horse back then. The words of "enjoy in time" have poked his lungs, so where is the rationality?

Fatty Ma spent more than a dozen taels of silver in one go, and warmly and generously presented a piece of yam bean paste cake.

Unexpectedly, the old lady Ma is actually a lover of sweets, so she asked Master Ma to come over and buy a bag of pastries, which cost him another two taels of silver.

Su felt that Master Ma was now a mountain of gold and silver, and felt that his whole body was shining.

Master Ma kept his face sullen, and was worried that he would be hated if he stayed any longer, so he asked Bai Muyang to continue on his way after dinner.

Before leaving, Mrs. Su asked Nuannuan for a few small pieces of brown sugar cakes. While the Ma family was scrambling for the remaining two pieces of yam cakes, she quietly walked to the back of the Ma's cart and gave them to Mr. Ma's wife and two daughters. Each stuffed with a piece of brown sugar cake.

Frightened by Su's sudden action, the few people swallowed the brown sugar cake, and then looked at her leaving back foolishly.

[Ding dong, help others, reward a packet of peanut seeds and soybean seeds. 】

Auntie Su has rewards for her good deeds?

The warmth is unexpected.

On second thought, maybe it was because she took out the brown sugar cake from space.

Qushui City is two days away from the next city, Licheng. On the way to Licheng, Erlang was forced by Bai Muyang to learn how to ride a horse.

It was noon on the third day when we arrived in Belvedere. The gates of Belvedere were wide open, and anyone could enter the city.

Knowing that each person needs two taels of silver to enter the city, Erlang felt distressed and worried: "Why is it so expensive? Grandpa and the others don't know whether to take the mountain road or enter the city?"

Walking on the mountain road is too dangerous, what should I do if I encounter poisonous snakes and beasts?
"The entrance fee has only increased in the past few days. Your grandpa and the others should have left from the Belvedere."

The soldiers guarding the city gate said that the entrance fee was only three renminbi per person five days ago.

Erlang was relieved.

Five days ago, Grandpa and the others should have already passed the Belvedere.

"Brother, let's go to the city, anyway, Mr. Ma has paid for the money to go to the city." Wen Nuan put a money bag into his brother's hand.

The shop bag is full of money paid by Master Ma to buy food with her.

Holding the money bag, Erlang seemed to feel less pain in his heart.

The group went into the city and found a tea shed to rest and eat. After eating, Bai Muyang and Nuannuan split up to "buy" what they needed on the way.

Nuannuan was worried about being targeted, so she dared not exchange natural bezoar for silver this time. Instead, she got some Bupleurum bupleurum, Chuanxiong, Scutellaria baicalensis, and licorice from the Chinese medicine store in the space and sold them to the pharmacy, and exchanged it again for 150 taels.

And Bai Muyang went out on a horse, and when he came back, there was an extra carriage behind the horse.

Nuannuan was overjoyed: "Finally, I don't have to ride a horse anymore."

Riding the horse for the past two days, the skin on her inner thighs was worn out, and her whole body was in pain from the bump, as was Goro, but in order not to delay the journey and catch up with her family early, they all endured it.

"You all get in the carriage, and Erlang will drive the carriage." Bai Muyang arranged: "These two horses are tied to the shaft of the carriage."

Erlang had never driven a horse-drawn cart, but he was smart and had driven an ox cart before. After Bai Muyang taught him for a while, he knew how to do it.

The group didn't stay in the city much, they left Belvedere in the afternoon and continued on their way.

Walking out of Belvedere, several people found that there were gradually more refugees on the road.

Bai Muyang's face was a little dignified.

It seems that not only Zhongzhou and Taizhou have droughts, but there are also droughts in other places.

Sensing that many refugees were paying attention to their group, Bai Muyang drew out his soft sword and said to Erlang at the same time: "Hurry up!"

The refugees who were staring at them were disappointed when they saw that Bai Muyang was running so fast with a weapon in his hand.

Su raised the curtain of the car to look out, and couldn't help but sighed.

Half a month ago, their mother and son were also members of this group of refugees. Fortunately, they met Nuan Nuan and them.

Erlang felt strange: "Isn't there already a water source around Belvedere, why are they still rushing so desperately?"

Bai Muyang inquired about some news in Licheng just now: "The county magistrate of Licheng sends people to drive away refugees outside the city from time to time, and they are not allowed to stay."

A few days ago, two refugees were injured by government servants, and finally died because they could not go to the city for medical treatment. These refugees were also afraid.

Wen Nuan frowned: "Isn't the county magistrate of Licheng afraid that this will cause riots?"

"The county magistrate of Licheng will be promoted in two months. He just needs to ensure that there will be no accidents in Licheng within these two months." Bai Muyang's voice was indifferent, without any emotion.

"Can he disregard the life and death of the people because of his promotion?" Su said angrily, "What kind of parental official is this?"

Nuan Nuan helped her to calm down: "If every official in this world treats the people like their sons, the world will be peaceful. 'If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are careful, there will be no disciples'. We are not angry, not angry."

Bai Muyang glanced at the carriage, then withdrew his gaze, and led Erlang to speed up.

Until it got dark, the group of people was far away from the large army of refugees, and there were only a few refugees who started to stop and rest here and there.

Wen Nuan entered the space and looked at the smart map, and found that they were two days away from the next city, Changping County, by horseback riding. The map showed that there was a trail leading to Changping County.

"Xiaodao?" Bai Muyang glanced at her: "Are you sure you can get there in half a day?"

"My grandfather and I walked that path before, but it was too long to remember how long it took, but this path must be much closer than the main road." Wen Nuan lied without blushing and panting.

In the past few days, she has observed the map in the space and the route they walked, and found that the smart map of the space is very accurate.

Bai Muyang already knew that Zhinuan used to run outside with his grandfather who was a doctor, so he didn't doubt her words: "Okay, then I will take the path you said tomorrow."

Wen Nuan was talking to Bai Muyang about the road conditions around the trail in "memory", when a woman not far away suddenly burst into tears, as if her child had died.

"Did someone die of illness again?" Su Shi bit her lip and said sympathetically.
