I become a god in another world

Chapter 410: Exchange Seals for Cars
Chapter 410
"Ugh--"

Zhao Fusheng sighed faintly:
“We are still too poor.”

If only I could suddenly become rich!

Zhao Fusheng thought to himself.

As soon as she finished speaking, the crisp sound of coins colliding suddenly rang out in the quiet room.

In the shadows, a small shadow was crawling on the beam, staring at Zhao Fusheng with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

In Kuai Manzhou's hand, there was a thin rope with three copper coins strung together, which she was shaking gently.

The voice fell into Zhao Fusheng's ears, and she felt like a pair of eyes in the dark were spying on her.

I don’t know if it was because I heard the sound of copper coins before going to bed, but also because so many things happened in that day and night, Zhao Fusheng was extremely tired both physically and mentally. She fell asleep quickly and even had a dream.

In my dream, I worked hard to make money, but when the day came for my salary to be paid, I only got three copper coins.

The surprise immediately turned into a nightmare.

She wanted to escape from this environment, but her feet seemed to be held down by her boss.

The sound of 'ding ding dang dang' kept ringing in her mind, causing her to look dazed when she woke up the next day.

“…How terrible!”

Don't give money to the child anymore! The child showed off when he had money, and he made her unable to rest well all night.

When Zhao Fusheng woke up, it was already bright.

The little girl was curled up at her feet and sleeping soundly, her feet tucked into her skirt, one hand holding a string of copper coins, and the other hand tightly grasping Zhao Fusheng's feet - this was also the reason why she could not escape the exploitation of her boss's cheap wages in her dream.

As soon as she moved her feet, the sleeping child was immediately awakened.

The little girl crawled over in a daze and handed the three coins in her hand to Zhao Fusheng.

"Fusheng, here's the money."

Zhao Fusheng had originally planned to confiscate the child's money because of a nightmare he had one night. But when he saw her giving him the money on her own initiative, he actually felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart.

She sighed silently and stuffed the money back into the child's hand:

"Keep it. When you go back to the county, buy some candy. How can a child be without money?"

After saying that, I felt a little regretful.

However, it could not change the money in Kuai Manzhou's hands, but he could return to Wan'an County after this incident was over and let Pang Qing give Kuai Manzhou more salary.

Even if I have such a dream again, it is always better to have more money in the dream than less money - then the nightmare will naturally turn into a sweet dream.

……

After talking to Kuai Manzhou for a few words, Zhao Fusheng packed up and got up. It was already light outside.

After a night, Ding Datong and others worked efficiently.

Under his leadership, the villagers of Dongping Village finally dared to step out of the gate and dug out the bodies from the mud outside.

The area around the manor was originally covered with dense and strange footprints. Just as Zhao Fusheng expected, these footprints could not be shoveled away or wiped off. They circled around the outside of the manor and appeared in any place that had never been covered.

Finally, Kuai Manzhou used the water from the Yellow Spring to wash away the footprints, and then suppressed the marks with the power of evil spirits.

The heavy rain that had covered Huangma Town for more than half a year finally stopped at this moment.

After dawn, Zhao Fusheng and others were ready to set off.

Everyone ate yesterday's leftovers together and then packed up some things to take away.

However, Dongping Village is far away from Wenxing County. The villagers here who have some knowledge and family background have already fled with their families at the beginning of the ghost disaster. Most of those who stayed behind have little knowledge.

The farthest place these people have ever traveled to in their lives is Huangma Town. Wenxing County is as far away to them as the moon in the sky, which they can hear but cannot touch.

Some people only know the good things about the county town when they talk about it, but they don’t even know which direction the county is in.

As a result, everyone had to change their plan and go to Huangma Town first, and then find someone who had been to the county from Huangma Town to lead the way to the county.

Zhao Fusheng and his party also took the opportunity to clear some of the strange footprints along the way as they entered the town.

However, there were too many footprints, and they were stacked one on top of the other. It would be too slow for Kuai Manyu alone to clean them up.

If they wait until she clears an area before leaving, they may not be able to reach the town in a whole day.

Later on, Zhao Fusheng gave up resistance and cleaned up as he went along. Some of the marks from a long time ago were fainter and the ghostly aura was also much lighter. Even if a stranger stepped on them, at most his own 'human' aura would be impacted.

Therefore, she only asked Kuai Manzhou to deal with those with strong evil spirits as much as possible, and let the rest be left where they were.

Everyone knew that these footprints were strange, and at first they tried their best to avoid stepping into them.

But the ghost case in Huangma Town had happened more than half a year ago. Almost every villager in the surrounding area had walked this road. The footprints were piled up one after another, and they had almost walked through every place where people could walk.

There were so many people that no matter how they tried to dodge, they would inevitably be stepped on.

Even if you choose a tricky and difficult path, there is still a chance of stepping on footprints.

Ding Datong and others were nervous from the beginning and tried their best to choose the angles of earth walls and trees to climb. Not only was it very hard, but in the end, Hu Rong left footprints even after climbing up the tree.

In a fit of anger, everyone simply gave up struggling.

Anyway, don’t worry if there are too many lice.

I had already been marked by the red-shoe ghost on the boat, so it didn't matter if I was marked with one more ghost mark now.

Thinking of this, everyone moved much faster, and by noon, they arrived at Huangma Town.

When I came to the town again this time, the rain outside the town had completely stopped.

The people in the town already knew that rain was related to ghost disasters. Once the rain stopped, it meant that the haze that had shrouded Huangma Town for more than half a year had been completely dispelled by the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau.

So when the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau came, the people in the town were particularly enthusiastic.

When the townspeople learned that Zhao Fusheng and his companions were going to Wenxing County and needed a guide to lead the way, they all said:
"Money, money!"

Everyone shouted out this name at the same time.

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, the faces of the people from the Demon Suppression Division, who had trudged all the way to the town, immediately looked much better.

Ding Datong asked:

"Does Qianfa know the way to Wenxing County?"

"Know!"

A skinny old man in his fifties squeezed out of the crowd and said to Ding Datong:
"Sir, this Qian Fa is from our town. He has an uncle from our family in the county. I heard that he is an official in the court. He went to visit him with his father."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Zhang Chuanshi asked in surprise:

"Oh, huh? If there is such a relationship, why didn't Qian Fa run away with him when the incident happened in Huangma Town?"

Zhang Chuanshi felt gloomy and suspected that the people in the town were just bragging and talking nonsense.

The old man who was questioned by him grinned. He was missing two front teeth, and his smile looked a little funny. He looked at Zhang Chuanshi and said:

"Your Excellency may not know that Qian Fa and this uncle of our family are nominally from the same clan, but in reality they are several generations apart. There was a conflict between their ancestors, and the other party moved out of the family tree and lived separately."

At that time, people attached great importance to the ancestral temple and clan. Once the conflict came to the point of moving the clan tree, it proved that the conflict was very serious. "Besides, Qian Fa is an honest and decent person. His uncle's ancestors lived in the county and were doing well. They looked down on the poor——"

The old man's front teeth were loose, and when he got excited, his saliva spurted out of his mouth, causing Zhang Chuanshi to frown and take several steps back.

"When Qian Fa's father was alive, he took his son to the city to get to know the relatives and to find a way for his son to survive. But Qian Fa was stubborn and refused to ask for help." The old man laughed twice:
"After his father passed away, the other party came to ask for a favor. The amount he gave was quite a bit, but he refused to accept the money, saying that even if one is poor, one should not lose heart."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone said:
"Qian Fa was a fool. Not only did he not take the money, he also asked his wife to prepare some bacon that had been smoked for several years at home, and made some rice dumplings, and sent them to the county with the money."

"After I went to the county, I was probably ridiculed by my relatives. I came back with a gloomy face and never went to the county again after that."

Everyone was talking at once, wishing they could tell Zhao Fusheng and the others everything they knew.

"Just to repay this gift, Qian Fa's wife said that their family tightened their belts for half a year."

In such an era, people were short of food and clothing, and both bacon and rice dumplings were luxuries for the villagers.

I want to make money and save face. I can't bear to eat these things myself. I would rather tighten my belt and give them to others.

After listening to the townspeople's stories, Zhao Fusheng soon understood the details of the money distribution.

If she hadn't stopped them, the townspeople would have been so excited that they would have even told about the quarrels and bickering in Qian Fa's family.

"If that's the case, then it would be perfect for Qianfa to lead the way," Zhao Fusheng said.

The old man who spoke first nodded:
"Your Excellency is absolutely right. With him leading the way, I guarantee we can get you to the county."

"It would be nice to have someone to lead the way, but we also need to prepare some carriages when we enter the county this time—" Jiang Ying said in a low voice.

There was thick mud on his feet. The mud was thicker than the soles of his shoes and was heavy, and he couldn't get rid of it at all.

Jiang Ying is a ghost rider after all.

In the past when he was in Fengning County, he was also the county's top official and a big man respected by everyone in the county. However, this time he had a bad journey transporting the ghost fetus and he suffered a lot from last night to today.

He had been living a life of luxury for a long time and couldn't bear the journey anymore.

Fatigue was secondary, but stepping on these ghostly footprints was what made him feel more stressed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Datong glared at him coldly and warned him to shut up.

The people in Changping County did not dare to speak out, but the people in Wan'an County did not have so many concerns.

Liu Yizhen said:

"We really need to find some carriages, otherwise it will be difficult to travel all the way to the county."

There are quite a lot of people in this group.

In addition to the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau, there were also the boatmen and Lu family members who survived by chance.

The Lu family originally wanted to go to Wenxing County, which was not too difficult.

But these boatmen were hired by Ding Datong, so it is reasonable for the people from the Demon Suppression Division to consider them.

Zhao Fusheng planned to bring the people to Wenxing County, ask for some money from the county's Demon Suppression Department to send them away, and then let them choose to stay or leave.

"Yes, we need some carriages." Zhao Fusheng nodded.

As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers in the town looked embarrassed:
"There are no carriages--"

Marco is a rare creature, who can afford to keep one during the New Year?

"I heard that there is a caravan in Luanshi Town, forty miles away—"

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, Zhao Fusheng heard "forty miles away" and his mouth twitched:

"Forget it, it's too far."

"There is another way!" Some townspeople seemed to have thought of something and their eyes lit up.

"What method?" Zhang Chuanshi asked.

"We just need to find some carts for the adults. Since we don't have horses, the people in our town will push or pull the adults all the way to the county!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others clapped their hands and said:
"That's right. How about we find some sedan chairs and carry the adults into the county."

When everyone heard this, they all went home to find chairs and cut bamboo poles, ready to move.

"..."

Zhao Fusheng was stunned immediately.

Ding Datong, Tao Lifang and others were also a little at a loss.

They were used to seeing the people being afraid of them and looking at them as if they were man-eating tigers, but this was the first time they had received such genuine admiration and love. Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, they felt inexplicably excited, but also felt at a loss, so they all turned to look at Zhao Fusheng, waiting for her to make the decision.

Meng Po looked at Zhao Fusheng, who was surrounded by stars like the moon, with a smile on her face. There was kindness in her eyes, as if the energy she had consumed in making soup yesterday had been restored a lot.

"Why do we need you to pull the cart--" Zhao Fusheng shook his head.

Zhang Chuanshi also nodded:

"Your thighs are not as thick as our Xiao Fan's arms. If anyone wants to pull, it should be Xiao Fan who pulls the cart."

Fan Wujiu didn't realize the teasing in his words for a moment, and said proudly:
"That's right, if anyone wants to pull the cart, I should be the one to do it—" He didn't finish his words, and now he realized:

"You are such a piece of shit, Old Zhang—"

The two of them started arguing with each other, cursing at each other.

The villager who spoke laughed and said:

"Don't look at me as thin, sir. I have plenty of strength. Besides, you saved our townspeople and didn't charge us for tea, hard work, or case handling. We feel bad for you and want to do something for you."

The villagers in the countryside are short-sighted and ignorant, and when they get angry, they really get angry.

But if you can gain their gratitude, simplicity is truly simplicity.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:
"Okay, I'll take it as a token of my gratitude, but I still have to carry it—"

"There is another way."

The old man who spoke first hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said:
“It means using oxen to pull a cart.”

"ox?"

The others were surprised when they heard this:
"Old Man Huang, doesn't your family just have a cow?"

"Yes!" said the old man surnamed Huang:
"I do have a cow at home. To be honest, this cow is the lifeblood of my family—"

After the haunted case in the town, everyone was short of food and clothing. The old man's family didn't eat, but they couldn't bear to let the ox starve. Before the rain approached the town, he went to cut a lot of hay and piled it at home, for fear that the old cow would starve.

"However, no matter how good this cow is, it cannot compare to your life-saving grace. I will harness the cow later and drive it out for you to ride."

After saying this, the others immediately gritted their teeth:

"I remember there is also a cow in Sanyang Village, which is the closest to here. It's not far from here. It only takes me half an hour to run there and back."

Everyone discussed it one by one, and soon they had reached an agreement.

"In that case, I do need a vehicle, so I'll take these things. We'll make a ghost seal in the manor later."
