Escape from the desert

Chapter 274 Price Code
Outside the Lin family courtyard, lamps on the wall illuminated the square inch outside the gate.

While the flames were flickering, the drizzle was like silver threads falling from the sky, and the cold wind whizzed past, making people shiver uncontrollably.

Jiang Yan was the leader, and a group of people stood behind them.

Her eyes were icy cold, and along the way, the rain soaked her outermost brocade clothes, and her hair was also filled with water droplets, which were full of brilliant luster under the jumping lights.

"Are you going to find you guys! Didn't expect you guys to come to your door!"

"What happened to Xiaodouzi? Why didn't the child move?"

Lin Xi and Lin Bei spoke at the same time, and everyone's eyes were drawn to the little red ball in Lao Liu's arms.

Xiaodouzi's short hands and feet were tightly trapped by them, and was tightly hugged by the sixth child.

The sixth child subconsciously shuddered at Jiang Yan's cold gaze, took a deep breath, and said fiercely, "What are you looking at, if the child has something to do, do we dare to carry it over to ask you for money!"

Qiangzi stood in front of the sixth child, just blocking Xiaodouzi's figure, he sneered, and said, "We are just asking for money, not some murderous demon, Aunt Jiang, it was Jiang Sanzhu who kidnapped your child." Attention to that dog thing."

"Yes, yes, he lost a lot of money in the gambling house in the town. He even mortgaged the jewelry at the bottom of his old lady's box. We are not so cruel. We don't take the child to the gambling shop. If you think it's okay, give it to me." We have a few hundred taels of money, and we will return this child to you immediately!"

The sixth child stretched out his head from behind Qiangzi, grinned and began to talk about the price.

Jiang Yan's face was cold and ugly, but she still said calmly, "How much do you want?"

In fact, the moment she saw the children, most of the worries in her heart dissipated. She didn't care about all kinds of things that came one after another that night. As long as the two children were fine, it was the best result.

When Qiangzi heard that Jiang Yan was willing to give the money, Qiangzi's eyes lit up a little. He turned his head and looked at Lao Liu, and the two whispered a few words.

"Before the improvement of farm tools in the village and the bumper harvest of your chili and rice, there was a lot of money. In addition, the business in your town is not bad. We don't want too much. You give us 1000 taels!"

"Yes, 1000 taels!"

"Pay with one hand and deliver with one hand! You give the money, and we will give you the child right away, and we can guarantee that we will never appear in the Lin Family Village again!"

As the two sang together, the more they talked, the more excited they became, their greedy eyes became brighter, and they made an arrangement for the future. As soon as they got the money, they would immediately fly away.

As soon as the two finished speaking, the crowd became restless. Ma San and Shi Zhong directly crushed the sticks in their hands, and even Jiang Sanzhu, who was still bleeding and dying, couldn't help but moan in contempt.

The surrounding villagers cursed mercilessly.

"Damn! Such a big criticism, two local rascals have the nerve to ask for 1000 taels!"

"That's right, you were the ones who kidnapped the child first, and you still have the nerve to extort money. How come our Lin Family Village produces you bastards!"

"No matter how rich Aunt Jiang is, she has just finished building a house and a grand wedding, so there is still extra money for you goddammits!"

"Everyone is really shameless. Today, I came here to eat with a bad face, and I didn't say to bring a little gift. Instead, I took revenge and took away all the children!"

"..."

The villagers spoke one by one, without looking at their expressions, they could hear the big guy's displeasure and contempt just by listening to their voices.

Qiangzi and Lao Liu are both from Lin Family Village, and they all know the basics.

On weekdays, they are a bunch of lazy people who either wander around idle or go to the casinos in the town to gamble. Their poor families have nothing of value except four earthen walls.

Qiangzi and Lao Liu were said to be a little cramped, but the two of them couldn't afford to eat together, so they got impatient and said a few words to the villagers.

He urged Jiang Yan: "Aunt Jiang, let's not talk too much, just say whether you are willing to give the money, if you are willing, give it to us now!"

The sixth child hugged Xiaodouzi, and his tone of voice was not enough. There were only two of them, but there was a large group on the opposite side. If they really had to fight head-to-head, the two of them were definitely not opponents.

He subconsciously squeezed the little Douzi in his arms, squeezed the unconscious little Douzi with too much force, frowned frequently, whimpered a few times, and even breathed intermittently.

Jiang Yan's gaze was always on Xiaodouzi, seeing the little guy's movements, she felt even more worried in her heart.

Qiao Le is also a careful person, and he has been paying attention to Xiaodouzi's state. These two rascals can't even hold the child, and they are holding the child's neck and waist with both hands. Seeing Xiaodouzi's exposed half of her waist, her white and tender belly had already turned blue and red from the cold.

"Hold the child better. It's a cold day. Don't chill the child's belly. The child's body is delicate and can't stand the cold wind."

Jiang Yan frowned, no emotion could be seen in her deep eyes, and even her voice was calm without any bullying. She took two steps forward, and under the light of the lamp, the blood-clotting sharp kitchen knife in her hand became stronger and stronger. appalling.

Qiangzi and Lao Liu saw Jiang Sanzhu's miserable appearance early in the morning, and until now Jiang Sanzhu was still crying in pain in a low voice. For a moment, both of them couldn't help but get chills in their backs, and subconsciously took two steps back.

As the boss, Qiangzi suppressed his fear, and said in a stern voice with a somewhat disturbed voice: "You don't go forward! If you have something to say, you stand up and say it. If you give money, you throw it here first!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan stopped in her tracks and threw the kitchen knife aside, she said, "I don't have so much silver on me, wait a minute, I'll go in and get the money."

Their eyes lit up, and they nodded to urge Jiang Yan to get the money in a hurry, grinning, and they seemed to be a lot more friendly.

The Lin family is not bad. Although everyone is reluctant to part with so much money, the safety of Xiaodouzi is more important to them than money.

However, the expressions of the villagers behind them changed one by one, and each one was full of disbelief. After seeing Aunt Jiang really entered the house to get the money, everyone's hearts changed subtly.

"No way! Aunt Jiang, do you really want to give money to these two land scoundrels? That's 1000 taels!"

"I just can't make so much money in my whole life!"

"That's right! That's 1000 taels! Some time ago, our neighboring village sold a few girls' films to the town, and one of them was only five taels of silver. That's worth 1000 taels!"

Jiang Yan stopped in her tracks and looked at Lin Xi and Lin Bei's panicked eyes. They were afraid that Jiang Yan would regard silver as more important!
