I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

Chapter 5 Kill without mercy
  After Chen Chuxue left for a long time, the Geng family was still in shock.

"I'm not dreaming!"

Aunt Geng murmured to herself, and then pinched Uncle Geng next to her. Uncle Geng suddenly took a breath.

Then the two looked at each other and realized that this was true and not false.

Chen Chuxue actually brought over ten kilograms of rice, and it was still white and thin rice. Before the famine, only the rich could afford it.

And this meat.

Fat and thin, it looks like ham at first glance.

Being able to eat fine rice and meat during times of famine is simply happier than a god.

Aunt Geng quickly put away the things and hid them in the basket, then woke up Xiao Yan, who was still in shock, and planned to eat first.

Chen Chuxue brought a large bowl of rice, which was enough for them to eat.

But Aunt Geng still left half of it for tomorrow's breakfast.

Then, while eating, Aunt Geng suddenly put down her bowls and chopsticks with a serious look on her face.

Seeing this, Uncle Geng and his daughter quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and sat upright, like good students waiting for the teacher to lecture them.

If you ignore the bulging rice in Geng Xiaoyan's mouth and look at her mother carefully while chewing quietly.

"Xiaoxue and the others trusted us when they gave us the food. We cannot betray their trust."

Although Aunt Geng was born in a rural area, she is very principled. "From now on, we cannot touch this food without Xiaoxue's permission. Do you hear me?"

Aunt Geng knew that her husband didn't know how to do it. She mainly told Xiao Yan not to be greedy and eat secretly. Although Xiao Xue didn't care, this kind of behavior just wasn't acceptable.

"Mom, don't worry, I know what's appropriate."

Geng Xiaoyan was not stupid. He knew that her mother was talking about her, so she immediately patted her chest and assured her.

Aunt Geng nodded, "Okay, let's continue eating. After eating, go to bed early. Get up early tomorrow and help me make these foods into dry food."

Uncle Geng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the bowls and chopsticks and continued eating.

"I will get up early tomorrow morning and go to the well to see if I can dig out more water."

These six kilograms of water seemed like a lot, but excluding the water used to make dry food, it was only enough for them to drink for a day or two, which was not enough at all.

As for Chen Chuxue's promise to leave the water and food to her, Uncle Geng didn't care, or he didn't place his hopes on Chen Chuxue.

After all, Chen Chuxue had already surprised them by digging out so much food from home. Even if she dug it out again, they might not be surprised, but water was different.

After all, even if water is stored, it will not be stored for long, and it will be used up quickly.

Aunt Geng opened her mouth and wanted to dissuade her, but in the end she did not stop her. She just sighed and said, "I will help you tomorrow morning, and then come back to make dry food."

She was worried, fearing that something might happen to the only breadwinner of the family, but she had no other better way.

Then, Aunt Geng thought of something else, "Has your cart been repaired? Xiaoxue and the others have not endured much hardship. If they have a cart to ride on, it will be easier on their way to escape."

"it is done."

Uncle Geng nodded, "Wait until tomorrow and see if you can make the cart more comfortable. Xiaoyue is still young after all, and the bumps on the cart will be uncomfortable."

When they decided to leave, they took the situation of Chen Chuxue sisters into consideration and knew that their sisters had not endured much hardship, so they tried their best to find ways to make it easier for them to escape.

"Yan'er, from now on you can help Xiaoxue take care of Xiaoyue. They just lost their father and left their hometown..."

"Mother, I know."

After Aunt Geng finished the family meeting, Uncle Geng also finished eating and walked out with his bow and arrow.

"I went to guard outside. Something went wrong during the day, so I was a little worried."

"Go ahead." Aunt Geng nodded, and then said to Xiao Yan, who was still licking her rice bowl, "You go to Xiaoxue's house to sleep tonight. If there are more people, they won't be afraid."

"I know, mother!"

…………

When Chen Chuxue returned home, she started packing her things.

After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, she found a hairpin and a jade pendant, which were left to her by her parents, or now she found out that they were left by her own parents. In addition, she also found a money bag from the box containing ten taels of silver.

It doesn't sound like much, but in rural areas, a family's annual income may not be ten taels.

However, my family doesn’t do much farming, so I’m afraid most of the money was funded by my grandparents far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

Moreover, according to Chen Chuxue's analysis, the family should have more money, but I'm afraid it was all used to buy food in the early stages of the drought.

During times of famine, even if you have money, you won’t be able to buy food.

However, just because she doesn't need it now doesn't mean she won't need it in the future.

When you go to Jiangnan, you have to spend money everywhere, and you can’t do it without money.

After collecting the money, Chen Chuxue took away the pots and pans. Although the Geng family would definitely bring them, they might be able to use them.

Besides, he and Xiaoyue must take care of their jobs. After all, they are the ones who eat, and they can’t do without them.

After that, she thought about it and brought the kitchen knife, hatchet, hoe and other tools.

This kind of iron can not only be used as a weapon, but can also be sold for silver when you are short of money.

"Hey, it's a pity that I can't bring the bed with me..."

It's not because there's not enough space to fit it in, but because there's no way to take it out once it's installed.

If a bed was taken out in front of the Geng family, I wonder if it would scare them crazy.

Therefore, she could only take her time and let the Geng family slowly accept her specialness. Otherwise, it would be a waste to have portable space that she could not use.

"I can't bring a bed, so I can only bring some cloth to avoid sleeping on the floor..."

After all, the ground is so dirty, and the north is prone to strong winds. When the wind blows, it turns into sand, so you can only sleep tightly wrapped up.

Chen Chuxue thought about the items she needed to bring with her when escaping, and then she couldn't help but frown, "It would have been nice in the previous life, and there was sunscreen."

The sun outside is so strong that it will take several hours. It doesn't matter if she gets tanned. Xiaoyue's skin is tender. What if she gets sunburned?
  After thinking about it, she could only find a gauze hat. When the time came, she would ask Aunt Geng to see if she could change it and give it to Xiaoyue.

"I just don't know if the treasure chest can bring out what I want..."

Chen Chuxue closed her eyes and looked at the treasure chest map in her mind. There were several treasure chests around her.

But it's too late now, I can only wait until tomorrow to open the treasure chest outside.

However, what made her a little excited was that in addition to the orange treasure box, there was also a purple treasure box on the map.

You know, as I said before, there are three levels of treasure chests. The elementary level is an orange treasure chest, the intermediate level is a golden treasure chest, and the advanced level is a purple treasure chest.

The orange treasure chests all contain food, water, milk, and even dried meat. So what good things can the purple treasure chests, which are two levels higher than the orange treasure chests, be?
  Chen Chuxue was looking forward to it. No matter what, it would definitely be several times better than what came out of the orange treasure chest.

…………

Just when Chen Chuxue was immersed in the good things in the treasure box, she was thousands of miles away in Nanfeng City in the south of the Yangtze River.

Chen Mansion.

Magistrate Chen’s home.

He was standing in the study, and on the table were the letters between Chen Chuxue and her "grandparents".

"Find me the person based on this address." County Magistrate Chen said with a gloomy face as he threw out a letter and a picture scroll.

Kneeling in front of him were two men in black, obviously professional killers.

The killer opened the scroll, and the person on it was Chen Chuxue.

"After you find someone, you know what to do!"

The killer nodded and slowly retreated until he merged into the darkness, and the sound seemed to come from the Nine Netherworld.

"Kill without mercy!"
