Chapter 294 I Have a Condition

When it was getting dark, Liu Qingcao stopped the horse.

At this time, in front of her was the mountain col where she met Li Feng's group. There were dozens of people in the mountain col, and there were faint sounds.

Liu Qingcao stopped where she was, staring at the person in front of her, and the person in front of her also looked at her.

Several people behind him ran to the opposite side. They said a few words to each other, and one of them lit a torch and moved forward.

Liu Qingcao could see clearly that the man was the village chief Li Feng they called.

Li Feng came alone holding a torch and stopped five meters away from Liu Qingcao.

Liu Qingcao looked at the visitor quietly. Li Feng was asking for help, so naturally he had no intention of being arrogant with her.

"Girl, excuse me." Li Feng said politely.

"Long time no see. Where are you going, Brother Li, so late?" Liu Qingcao saw that they meant no harm and nodded in agreement.

"We are waiting for the girl here. I hope she won't be weird."

"Wait for me? What are you waiting for me for?" Liu Qingcao glanced at the slightly nervous person in the distance, confused.

It seems that I am not familiar with them, or the process of getting acquainted with them must be unpleasant.

So, what are they doing here waiting for her? Do they still want to taste the power of the bones and fingers?

Li Feng looked at Liu Qingcao's thoughtful look and quickly told the truth. He was afraid that Liu Qingcao would misunderstand them and use that thing against him.

"Girl, don't think too much. We are waiting here. We just want to ask the girl for some medicine."

"Medicine? What medicine? Good medicine or poison?" Liu Qingcao sat on the carriage and looked at Li Feng, blurting out without even thinking.

"That's right, we can buy the medicine that the girl gave us." Li Feng said the best. He himself was a little weak, but the medicine was quite expensive. With all their belongings put together, they might not be able to afford it. .

However, he still wanted to try.

"Okay, but I have a condition. If Brother Li can do it, I will sell it to you cheaply. If he can't do it, then we have no chance."

"Girl, please tell me." Li Feng was worried, but his face was calm.

"I'm buying wasteland here and you go farm it. Of course, I'll give you wages, twelve cents a day for adults and three cents a day for children. This is also the price of work outside. What do you think?" Liu Qingcao held a porcelain vase in his hand. , looking at Li Feng, wanting to see how he chooses.

Li Feng was able to wait for her here, not to rob, but to buy medicine. Obviously he wanted to use this medicine to deal with people, and he was determined to die.

In the vast sea of ​​people, meeting them twice in just half a day can only be said to be fate. If it was as she suspected, it would be a good idea for her to save them once.

Li Feng thought he had heard something wrong, so he did not agree immediately and did not dare to ask again. He just looked at Liu Qingcao expectantly.

At that moment, Liu Qingcao saw Li Feng's childlike appearance.

"Brother Li, what I said is of course true. If you can't make a decision now, then go back and find someone to discuss it with."

"Hey, okay, I'll go right away." Li Feng grinned, nodded his head a few times, turned around and disappeared in front of Liu Qingcao.

Li Feng didn't keep Liu Qingcao waiting. After getting the villagers' consent, he ran towards her again without even taking a breath.

"I, we promise."

"Then do you still need to sell medicine now?" Liu Qingcao handed over the medicine bottle in his hand and looked at him, "I can charge half the money."

Li Feng shook his head quickly. They had hope of living, so they would never want to die with others again.

"Then let's go. It's not too late. Take me to your mountain. After checking the terrain, if it works, I will buy it. If it doesn't work, I can only trouble you to move it."

"Girl, where are we?" Li Feng looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed very late. "Girl, be careful. I will lead the way."

Liu Qingcao's carriage followed a group of people walking in the dark night. There were many people and trees, and there was a lot of movement, so it was quite safe.

Half an hour later, Liu Qingcao's carriage stopped at a bare hilltop. The night was too dark and the moonlight was unclear, but Liu Qingcao could still clearly see their living environment.

It can't be called a house, it can only be said to be a shack that blocks out the sun. It doesn't keep warm and doesn't withstand freezing. Those who are in poor health will definitely get sick and die from it.

"Girl, this place is really shabby. Miss, let me go and settle it down." Li Feng was a little embarrassed, and his ears were red. He didn't have the aura to rob her.

"It's okay. I'll stay in the carriage for one night. You don't need to bother anymore. Go and do your work." Liu Qingcao had already expected such a result and did not embarrass him.

Li Feng nodded and said nothing more, feeling relieved. The carriage was indeed much better than their shack.

In the shack, several men stood in front of Li Feng in embarrassment, looking like they wanted to say something or not, which made Li Feng frown.

"You should accept that. If the girl dares to go out alone, she must have a lot of support. Now that the girl has given us a way to survive, you can't be that ungrateful villain." Li Feng said while warning them with his eyes.

"Village Chief, I listen to you."

"I also listen to you."

"So are we." Several people knew the seriousness of the matter, and when they first came up with the idea, it was just their old habit of being bandits.

Li Feng stared into their eyes and found no other expressions, so he softened his expression.

"Have you asked, how much silver is left?"

"Village chief, I spent [-] taels on medicine yesterday, and now my sister-in-law has less than [-] taels of silver left." Li Shuanzi said dully.

These days, I stay here, guarding people in the mountains. When I meet a lone family, I will collect a toll, which is not much, the most I have to pay is fifty cash.

It's not that those people don't have money, it's just that this is a rule set by the village chief. Only a small amount should be taken, and the person's foundation must not be touched. Sometimes when they encounter someone who is slightly poor, they will let them go without asking for a penny.

It is precisely because of this that they have been here for almost half a year and have only saved about five taels of porridge, water and wild vegetables for their daily meals, including the money they got from pawning things when they left the village.

"Put the money first, how much rice and noodles are there?"

"There is also a stone of brown rice and a stone of mixed noodles." Shuanzi blurted out the results of his visit to the cave today without any pause.

Li Feng looked solemn as he listened to the figures reported by Li Shuanzi. The food could only last them half a month.

"Break half a bowl of rice and cook it into dry rice. I'll deliver it to my boss in the carriage later."

"Village chief, I'll do it right away." Li Shuanzi gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

Liu Qingcao didn't know that they were saving rations to cook dinner for her. At this time, she was sitting in the space eating chickpea flowers.

After she had eaten and drank enough, she lay down in the carriage, and Li Feng's voice sounded outside the carriage.

"Girl, we made some food, girl, come out and eat some." Li Feng held the wooden tray tightly with his hands and shouted in a lower voice.

Liu Qingcao touched his round belly and saw Li Feng's embarrassed look through the car curtain.

"You guys can eat, don't worry about me, I have food in the car." After saying that, Liu Qingcao did not wait for Li Feng to refuse, turned towards the drawer of the car, and took out a knife of pork and a handful of herbs from the space with the help of his back.

"You can boil this meat and eat it. Boil the herbs and drink it. It's cold at night, so drinking it will make you feel better."

Li Feng held the tray with both hands, but his eyes were looking at the pork and herbs in Liu Qingcao's hand.

This knife of pork weighed five kilograms, and it was quite fat. It was worth at least two hundred coins at the butcher's place. Even though he didn't recognize the herbs, he knew that the herbs were not cheap.

He really couldn't believe that his boss was so generous, and he didn't dare to ask for it.

Liu Qingcao was stunned when she saw the man, her refusal was obvious, so she didn't say much, just took out the meat and medicine, jumped out of the carriage, and walked past him to the shack.

There was a torch lit in the shack. The torch was almost burning out, leaving only flames the size of a fist, flickering brightly and dimly on the face of the person lying on the ground.

He had not been close to the shack when he came, but now that he was closer, Liu Qingcao could see the scene in the shack.

In the shack, people of all sizes were huddled together, and the men and women were separated by a straw mat in the middle. There were eighty or ninety people lying in the place where I was less than forty years old. This shack was quite crowded.

Fortunately, it was night in the mountains, and the mountain breeze didn't make it too hot. But if it were winter, these people might not survive until the new year.

Liu Qingcao withdrew her gaze and turned sideways, pretending that she had not seen anything. The flesh in her hand pinched her hand so much that it hurt.

"Put it here. You can take it out and eat it first. I'm afraid it will stink tomorrow." Liu Qingcao placed the meat and herbs beside the stove and walked straight towards the carriage.

In the carriage, Liu Qingcao touched her heart and sighed. She had felt this feeling before.

Depressed, uncomfortable, and sad.

Her damn sense of resonance makes her constantly affected by the outside world.

In order to relieve the discomfort of this blockage, Liu Qingcao blocked the front of the carriage with a bed of cotton wool, and then entered the space to turn her grief and anger into strength.

There is a lot of food in the space, but as the original owner of the space said, her inventory is just a drop in the bucket.

Thinking of how she had to work in the fields against the clock and not be able to harvest the food for a long time, she wanted to beat her pig teammate for not living up to expectations.

She was so busy with her work that people left without saying a word. When they came back, they were either dying or came to steal people from her.

Liu Qingcao became more and more angry as she thought about it, and the strength in her hands became much stronger. Each pit was half an inch deeper than before, which showed how angry she was.

Liu Qingcao was busy in the space angrily. The darkness in the shack was dispersed by the torch, and two large pots of stew and three pots of soup were brought in one after another.

The people here haven't eaten meat for more than half a year, so when they smelled it, they couldn't believe it.

Li Feng, Li Shuanzi and Li Mu helped divide the meat, each one had a piece. The meat was not too big and could only be eaten in one bite.

It had been a long time since the meat had smelled fishy. After eating the meat, everyone in the shack was so excited that they couldn't sleep. Some children were still dreaming and chewing their mouths in the middle of the night after falling asleep.

Li Feng sat outside the shack and between Liu Qingcao's carriage, watching the thick darkness, not daring to close his eyes one by one.
