Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 6 Entering the City, Buy, Buy, Buy
"Have all the bandits left?" Tao Qiniang didn't care about horses or silver horses. She was now worried about her daughter, offending the bandits, and what if they came back again.

"Mom, don't worry, they were all scared away by me. But we have to run away tonight to avoid being discovered by others as the bandits I drove away."

Hearing this, Tao Qiniang nodded, "Okay, let's leave quickly."

"Mom, you get on the horse, and I will lead the horse away."

"Go up, mother will lead you."

"This horse was a little frightened. I'll calm it down first, and we can exchange it later."

Tao Qiniang thought for a while, in order not to waste time by pushing and pushing, she replied: "Okay."

Then she climbed onto the horse with the help of Tao Qiqi.

As soon as she got on the horse, Tao Qiniang felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but it was only for a moment.

With Tao Qiqi on the road all night, they were getting farther and farther away from the Taojia Village team.

When it was almost done, the couple stopped to rest.

******
Early the next morning—

Tao Qiqi just woke up, and said: "Mother, let's go to the county seat today, buy a carriage cover, and buy some pots and pans, otherwise it will be inconvenient for us to cook on the way. We will go to the county seat in the morning Just buy some food."

"Okay, then should we sell the horses and exchange them for donkeys or mules?"

Hearing this, Tao Qiqi didn't even think about refusing: "No, the carriage comes and goes quickly, and secondly, at least it has a shelter, which can not only provide shade from the sun, but also allow you to rest inside."

Seeing that Tao Qiqi had said this, Tao Qiniang said nothing more.

The couple simply packed up and headed to the nearest county seat.

When we arrived at the gate of the county seat, we saw officers and soldiers guarding the gate, and there were many refugees resting there outside the city.

Tao Qiqi led the horse and led Tao Qiniang to the gate of the city.

"My lord, are there any requirements for entering the city now?"

When the gatekeeper saw someone asking, he turned his head and saw a girl leading a horse. His impatient expression immediately dropped and he replied: "I have no other requirements. I have a deed of residence or a road guide. Then One person only needs to pay fifty cents to enter the city."

When Tao Qiniang heard this, she couldn't help but gasped.

On the contrary, Tao Qiqi took out a bunch of copper coins from her bosom without blinking her eyes.

The official took the copper plate and briefly looked at the deed of registration before allowing him to enter the city.

The first thing Tao Qiqi did after entering the city was to hitch the horse into a carriage so that he would have room to put it while he was shopping.

Tao Qiqi thought that the two of them should sit together, it doesn't have to be too good, but it shouldn't be too bad, so she chose a similar one and spent 15 taels of silver, but it hurt her heart.

But after thinking about it, I would be able to flee famine in a carriage, and I felt that the 15 taels were worth it.

The shopkeeper politely helped to hitch the carriage, and then took it for a ride. It felt pretty good, and there were no quality problems. After paying the money, she started her buying plan.

Of course, before buying, you have to fill your stomach first. For convenience, Tao Qiqi extravagantly bought thirty big meat buns.

Eat and go shopping and buy! !

First, I bought daily necessities, such as pots and pans, buckets, and kitchen knives!

And of course the most important salt! !
I went to the market to cut a few catties of pork belly, bought some eggs, and two cooked beggar chickens.

After all the food is collected in the space, eat slowly on the way to escape from famine. After all, it costs a lot of money to enter the city once, so you have to buy more things at a time.

The guy for dinner went to buy a quilt after everything was done. Although the weather is hot at this time, it is still safer to have some preparations. Anyway, it is not expensive to buy a quilt in this hot day.

In addition, you should also prepare some medicines, such as medicinal powder to repel snakes, rats, insects and ants; herbs to prevent heatstroke and wind and cold; some to treat bruises and bruises, and some to stop bleeding.

After buying these, Tao Qiqi asked Tao Qiniang in the carriage: "Mom, we have almost bought everything, what else do you need to buy?"

"Go to the clothing store and buy you two pairs of clothes. Look at the clothes you're wearing. They've been torn by you."

After listening to Tao Qiniang's words, Tao Qiqi noticed the clothes on her body. She didn't care so much about the sandstorm. There were only two sets of clothes in total, and the other set was beaten to pieces when she left Tao's house.

"Okay, then our mother and I will each buy two sets."

Tao Qiqi said and walked towards the clothing store.

In the end, the couple happily bought new clothes and took Tao Qiniang out of the city.

Tao Qiqi put on the new clothes straight away.

But all she bought were very simple dark clothes. Once she put them on, she tied her hair into a ponytail and tied a headband. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to recognize that it was a girl.

In this way, at least there will be fewer people staring at her on the way to escape.

However, as soon as the couple left the city, Tao Qiqi heard the harsh and insulting voice of an old woman at the gate of the city.

"A money-losing product, really a money-losing product, let you be sweeter and take the initiative when you see the buyer, but in the end you put on a dead face for me, why don't you just die, die for a hundred.

What kind of evil have I done? Why did I raise such a money-losing thing? Now the family can’t open the pot. You money-losing thing is of no use at all. Oh my grandson, why do you have such a useless thing? Used sister.

If you starve to death, don't forget, even if you are a ghost, don't let her go. She is just a broom star with a cheap hoof. When she was born, she should be stuffed into a excrement bucket and drowned. After raising her for so many years, she is a white-eyed wolf. It's useless at critical times. "

Not only was the scolding voice unpleasant, but even one scolding was enough to kill me. After scolding me, I felt aggrieved. I sat down on the ground and cried like a pear blossom, even worse than Tao Shi. and.

On the other hand, the little girl who was beaten did not shed a single tear, she was also a silly girl.

In this imaginary ancient times, everything is lacking but the best.

Especially the patriarchal thought, Tao Qiqi was so angry that she couldn't help gritting her teeth.

I wanted to endure it and drive away in the carriage, but I saw the old woman got up and grabbed the little girl and said: "Let's go to the city and sell you to the brothel, no matter how much money you get. If you can get a rich man, I can take a fancy to you and exchange for some food, which is better than eating for free at home every day and wasting food."

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, Tao Qiqi wanted to stand up, but a tall and burly man stood up ahead of her and said, "You have to pay the entrance fee for two people when you enter the city, so why not sell it to us?" , or we can exchange food with you.”

"That's right, it just so happens that we two brothers haven't had a good time for a long time. What do you think, do you want to trade this girl with us for some food? You can also save some money on the city fee!"

When the old woman heard this, she rolled her eyes and replied: "Okay, ten kilograms of grain, three taels of silver for ten kilograms of grain, two taels of silver for ten kilograms of grain plus two taels of silver, and this cheap hoof will be yours."

After hearing this, the two men who spoke just now couldn't help laughing.

"Auntie, are you dreaming? You want to exchange ten kilograms of grain and two taels of silver for a stinky girl like her?? Two kilograms of grain at most, or you can go to the city and sell it yourself. For a little girl like her , I don’t know whether I can buy it in the city.”
