Chapter 72

Old Mrs. Xiao was really too fat, she was beaten several times, and she fell to the ground.

But she didn't want to die of thirst, starvation and freezing here, so she howled while holding Mrs. Zheng's leg.

"Can you talk about your conscience? When you were sick, I borrowed money from you. Now that our family is down and out, why don't you show any kindness?"

"So what if I borrowed your money? It's not like I didn't pay it back." The thin and lean Mrs. Zheng hummed with her hands on her waist.

"Then I lent you once, and you have to lend me once to settle the debt." The old lady Xiao rolled her eyes, "Well, you lend me 20 taels of silver, and when I get to the capital, I will recognize you." Daughter, I will pay you back 200 taels!"

Mrs. Zheng was quite moved when she heard it, but she still twitched the corners of her mouth in disbelief.

"You have such a mouth, who will believe it!"

Seeing that she was tempted, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly swore, "I swear, if I borrow it, I will die and the whole family will die."

Mrs. Zheng's complexion changed when she heard this poisonous oath, it's too vicious! Are you afraid that it will come true?
I believed it a little bit in my heart, but I still shook my head.

"Our money has already been used to buy food and cars, so where is the money?"

Seeing that there was something going on, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly retreated to the next best thing.

"That's fine, just let our family eat and drink with you, and I will pay you back a hundred times." After all, is it a country woman, who is greedy for petty gain? Sister Zheng was moved and looked at Zheng Shi.

Zheng Shi rolled up his sleeves, thought for a while and said, "Then write us an IOU for 100 taels of silver, it will be safe."

Mrs. Xiao's family immediately agreed, wrote an IOU and handed it to Zheng Shi, and I will talk about it later if I don't pay it back. Saving my life is the top priority.

After that, I asked them for some thick clothes to put on, which can be regarded as solving the problem of food and clothing.

There are three to four hundred families in Taohua Village, plus Xue Andong and other forty families, the entire team has two to three thousand people, so not many people know that Mrs. Xiao has mixed into the team again.

They also knew what kind of desperation they would face if they were kicked out of the team again, and they kept a low profile along the way.

In addition to the cold, they simply covered their heads with clothes, so that no one would recognize them.

After more than [-] tigers were wiped out, there was no other danger in the area of ​​Qiganling. After all, this is the territory of the tiger group, and other fierce beasts dare not come here to make trouble.

The nerves of the big guys were not so tense, and they walked loosely. After all, they didn't sleep the night before, and they all carried sleepy children on their backs, so they couldn't walk fast.

Xue Andong was smoking a pipe, walking in the middle of the team with Wang Yonggui, Xiao Zhenwang and others.

Seeing Xue Andong swallowing clouds and fog, Wang Yonggui and the others were also extremely curious.

"What are you smoking, Chief Xuecun? The smell is refreshing."

Mentioning this, Xue Andong stroked his beard and got excited, pointing to a bundle of yellow leaves tied to the roof of the carriage.

"It's called dry tobacco. It's something only found in the Western Regions. I managed to get a few seeds and planted a piece of land. Which of you would like to have a few mouthfuls to refresh yourself?"

"Let me give it a try?" Xiao Zhenwang was yawning, he couldn't hold on without sleep the night before.

"Okay, I'll serve you another pot."

Xue Andong knocked the smoke pot on the shaft of the car, knocked off the burnt ash, took out the cigarette pouch, twisted it and stuffed it in again, then lit it with a torch and handed it to Xiao Zhenwang.

Xiao Zhenwang was coughing a little at first, but soon got used to it.

After Wang Yonggui and several other patriarchs tasted it, they were very happy, they became addicted, and everyone was no longer sleepy. They all started to choose bamboo and fiddled with making pipes.

Xiao Ningxue asked Xue Andong for a few dry tobacco seeds and put them in the portable space for storage, in case they are useful in the future?
Along the way, Xue Ruyun kept asking Xiao Ningxue about her medical skills, and looked at Xiao Ningxue with a look of admiration on her face.

Xue Ruyun was tall, with long legs, outstanding appearance, and a proper beauty, which made Xiao Ningxue feel a little stressed.

Seeing that Wu Chongwen kept his eyes on Xue Ruyun from time to time, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous.Men are really big pigs, they can't close their eyes when they see beautiful women, they are proper visual animals!
When camping at night, Xiao Ningxue didn't want to talk to Wu Chongwen.

He finished his meal in silence, washed up after that, spread the bedding and covered his head, and went to sleep.

Wu Chongwen cleaned up and wanted to get into her bed, but she immediately rolled into a worm.

Wu Chongwen could only hold her in his arms including the quilt, and softly whispered in her ear: "Xiaoxue, my heart is cold!"

"Deserve it cold, huh!"

"Legs are cold too~~"

"Cold break is better, lest you want to run!"

"Is Xiaoxue jealous? Huh?" Wu Chongwen buried his head on her neck, his voice was bewitching.

He noticed it early in the morning, whenever he looked at Xue Ruyun, the girl looked sour.

"I don't. You and I are not married yet. I don't care who you like."

"What are you thinking!" Wu Chongwen pointed Xiao Ningxue's nose with his cold fingers, and stopped teasing her, and whispered in her ear, "Didn't you see it? Xue Ruyun is a man. "

"What, what?" Xiao Ningxue was surprised, and the tightly rolled quilt was also loosened. Wu Chongwen took the opportunity to sneak in, hugged her tightly from behind, and then whispered in her ear with the same sour tone. Said, "You hooked up with a man and had a hot chat. I'm not angry with you yet."

Xiao Ningxue was stunned for a while, unable to recover.

"Xue Ruyun is a man? How is this possible? She is so beautiful, even more beautiful than a woman like me. It cannot be a man!"

"Then Xiaoxue, do you want to make a bet with me? I dare say he must be a man."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Just because he never looked me in the eye.
"Awen, when did you become so narcissistic!"

"Of course it's more than that, and the way he looks at you is too hot!"

"Pfft~~ You made me feel hairy all over, but why didn't I see the problem?"

"Just say whether you bet or not!"

"It's a bet, but how do you prove it?"

"Everyone walks together, there is always a chance~~ Xiaoxue, my heart is cold!"

"Oh, I'll warm you up!"

The two seem to have reconciled, hugging each other tighter.

Until the third day when they walked out of Qigan Ridge, the bet between Xiao Ningxue and Wu Chongwen didn't come to a conclusion, but Wang Yonggui, Xiao Zhenwang and the others, all had pipes in their mouths, like old smokers.

After leaving the mountain, it is the territory of Huizhou.

Huizhou is extremely flat and stretches as far as the eye can see.

However, everything is withered and yellow. I don't know whether the crops have been harvested or have already withered, and the eyes are full of desolation.

At the end of the line of sight was a village, and everyone decided to rush to the village to spend the night.

The weather is getting cooler every day, and having a place to shelter from the wind at night is better than anything else.

Hurry up and hurry up, and finally arrived at the village in the evening.

After entering the village, everyone looked around, but did not see a single person.

"It's weird, where did everyone go?" Wang Yonggui wondered.

"Maybe I went to the north to escape the war or famine, just go into the house and have a look." Xiao Zhenwang said, sneaking into a nearby house.

However, when I went in, I saw that the pots and pans were all there, and the bedding on the bed was all available.

It's obviously not like fleeing, but where did he go?
Weird!
