Chapter 28

When Liu Yue found Xianxianlou, Qiu Yan was wrapping the plates of food in lotus leaves and oiled paper, tied them with ropes, and carried them away, ignoring the mocking eyes of several scholars around him, and proceeded to do so.

"Brother Yan, what are you?"

Seeing Qiu Yan's appearance, Liu Yue couldn't help asking.

When Qiu Yan saw it, he smiled and said: "Cousin, you are here, come and help me to carry two of these dishes. Those people just entertained me with these dishes, but they left beforehand, without even moving their chopsticks, and threw away too many dishes. It's a pity, I haven't seen any meat in the house for a few days, so I just took it back."

"Didn't you say it was insulting to the gentleman?" Liu Yue found that his cousin was vaguely different from before. If it was before, Qiu Yan would not only not do it himself, but would also prevent others from doing it.

"Is it an insult to the gentleman?" Qiu Yan smiled, "This way it won't be an insult to the gentleman, and extravagance is shameful. That's all, let's hurry, or the food will be cold."

In this way, Qiu Yan and Liu brought home big and small bags. Of course, the family also had doubts, but Qiu Yan couldn't help persuading them. They quickly put the food on the table and sat around together.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was a bit dull, but Qiu Yan talked deliberately, and quickly let the atmosphere relax.

"Yan'er, those people just now are really your friends?" After eating almost, Liu Huai couldn't help but asked aloud. He has been worrying about this matter at the moment, "Those people, they are all cunning and lawless. People are the villains and clowns in the play, they are the most fickle, and they cannot be friends."

Hearing this, Qiu Yan put down his chopsticks: "Don't worry, Uncle, I know for myself. I know the nature of those people very well. Right now, they are just forbearance. When the limelight passes, they will definitely not let it go. They will definitely provoke trouble."

"Since you know, why are you still in contact with them?" Upon hearing this, Liu Huai lost his temper. Since Qiu Yan's family had an accident and fled to Yuanning, Liu Huai regarded him as a member of the family and cared for him. Now Hearing Qiu Yan's words, he couldn't help but feel that he hated iron but not steel.

"Uncle, don't be angry." Seeing Liu Huai's anger, Qiu Yan left the bench, "Now the family is in trouble, Qiu Yan lives in the courtyard every day, unable to help, he feels very guilty, that's why he made such a bad plan."

"If there is a problem at home, I, the head of the family, will take care of it, so you don't need to worry about it." Liu Huai's anger subsided a little, "Besides, if the family is in trouble, what's the use of finding some rogues and military ruffians?"

As soon as he said this, he heard shouts from outside the courtyard. Hearing the voice, Liu Huai was worried, put down the bowl and chopsticks and walked out, followed by Qiu Yan and Liu Yue.

As soon as they went out of the house, they saw Li Bo and Wang Qiaoer standing outside the door, holding two packages in their hands. Seeing Qiu Yan coming out, they immediately walked up and handed over the packages.

"Mr. Qiu, everything you want is inside, and I hope you can keep your promise."

Looking at the package with a look of reluctance, Li Bo gritted his teeth and looked back, cupped his hands at Qiu Yan, and left with Wang Qiaoer.

"what is this?"

Hearing Liu Huai's inquiry, Qiu Yan put the package in the other party's hand.

After receiving the package, Liu Huai's body paused slightly. The package was much heavier than he had imagined. When he touched it again, there was a collision sound inside, and his face immediately changed.

"these are……"

Realizing the contents of the bag, Liu Huai took a deep breath, turned his head and saw that Li Bo and others had disappeared, he wanted to chase after them, but was dragged into the house by Qiu Yan.

Back in the house, Liu Huai hesitated to speak, but suddenly asked Qiu Yan's aunt, aunt and others to remove the bowls and chopsticks, left first, and then left the two parcels on the table.

Hearing a "crash", the package fell apart, revealing the contents inside, which were a bunch of copper coins and a few small silver pancakes!

"What's going on?" Liu Yue was stunned when he saw these things.

In this world, 770 coins is a consistent amount, which is equal to one or two taels of silver. Several silver pancakes are of different sizes, obviously made in private kilns, but they add up to six or seven taels. Two or three taels of silver!

Twelve thirty taels, that is, eight or nine thousand yuan, which is a very large number. You must know that although prices have risen, in Yuanning Mansion, you can buy a bucket of rice for seven yuan, and a catty of miscellaneous salt for twenty yuan. One mu of land in the suburbs of the city is only eight or nine hundred dollars!

Unlike Liu Yue who was stunned, Liu Huai stared at Qiu Yan with anger: "You actually blackmailed others?"

Qiu Yan was not in a hurry, and said in his mouth: "Uncle clearly sees that if nothing happens, if you take the initiative to find others, that is blackmail, but today it is Li Bo who came to the door, not only threatening me, but also pretending to be against the Liu family. Unfavorable, even my aunt, aunt and sister-in-law were frightened, it is reasonable, we cannot let them go."

After hearing this, Liu Huai shook his head: "You have taken so much money, how can they rest? From now on, there will be no peace! Let's send it back quickly..."

"Leniency and strictness, virtue and punishment, you can't have both. If you have kindness, you must repay it, and if you have hatred, you can't tolerate it. To be tolerant is not to be kind, but to indulge," Qiu Yanxian said in a favorable manner, and then changed the topic, "But what uncle said It makes sense, that group of people must hold grudges, for the sake of safety, we can't stay in Yuanning City any longer, please ask my uncle's family to pack up their belongings, and go to Qingchang with me to settle down temporarily."

"You..." Liu Huai was tongue-tied. These days, Qiu Yan once mentioned that Liu Huai's family should leave Yuanning temporarily and live in Qingchang for a while to avoid the limelight, but the old Liu family took root in Yuanning, of course not. agree.

However, in the past few days, he went out to find a job, but he encountered obstacles everywhere. Those shopkeepers and acquaintances, knowing that Liu Huai and his son were kicked out by the Pan family, how dare they take him in?On the other hand, Liu Huai, who was not too young after going out early, could not take it anymore. Now that he heard this proposal again, thinking of what happened in the past few days, he did not immediately reject it.

Beside, Liu Yue looked at the money on the table, feeling a little moved, but his father didn't agree, so of course he didn't dare to do it for him.

At this time, I heard Qiu Yan say again: "If my uncle is unwilling, then Qiu Yan can only go on the road alone, but with this money on his body, he is a villain and a military ruffian. Whether he can return to Qingchang County alive is another matter." , and I don't know much about money, it would be bad if someone cheated me of the money."

"This..." Liu Huai pondered.

"Father, what my cousin said is not unreasonable..."

Seeing that his father was a little disturbed, Liu Yue also comforted him, coupled with Qiu Yan's other words, soon, Liu Huai finally made up his mind.

"Then go to Qingchang to live for a while, when the limelight passes..."

Having made a decision, the Liu family and his son began to plan the departure date, but was interrupted by Qiu Yan's words——

"In that case, I'll go to the car dealership and hire a carriage. Let's stop delaying and leave today."

"Too urgent." Liu Huai shook his head.

"It's better to be sooner rather than later, later things will change. Who knows if Li Bo and the others are preparing to attack the mansion at night? In fact, there is no need to pack too much at home. With so much money, it will be a disaster if you spend money on it when you go to the place. It’s better to spend it out. Besides, there is a good medical center in Qingchang County, and my cousin has no doctors to save her here, so why not go to Qingchang County to have a try.”

After some rhetoric, Liu Huai was finally persuaded, and then he notified his aunt and aunt. Although many female relatives felt rushed, they didn't say much. The Liu family had nothing of value. sedan chair, bring the unconscious Pan Rongniang.

"This courtyard was passed down from the ancestors. I never expected it to be in my life, but..."

Looking back at the closed courtyard, Liu Huai sighed.

Liu Yue quickly comforted him: "Father, it's not like we won't come back. Besides, Qingchang is not too far away. From now on, I'll come over every two or three months to clean the courtyard."

"I'm getting old, it's hard to say whether I can come back." Liu Huai shook his head.

After hearing this, Qiu Yan felt a little guilt in his heart, and comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry, maybe you'll be back in a good mood in a short time." After the words fell, a trace of black air, which is difficult for ordinary people to see, came out of the ground , wrapped around Qiu Yan.

Liu Huai still shook his head, only saying it was his nephew's comfort.

After locking the door, the family left under the eyes of different neighbors.

With money on hand, it was not difficult to do things. An hour later, the Liu family left the city in a large carriage.

When the sun was setting in the west, the carriage arrived at a village, which was nearly ten miles away from Yuanning City. It was getting late, so the driver drove into the village and stayed in an inn.

After dinner, the family rested separately, and men and women were divided into two rooms.

"Wake up when you sleep, don't be too dead." After giving Liu Yue and Qiu Yan a few words, Liu Huai lay down first, and snored not long after. He was old and lacked energy.

"Brother Yan, you spent a lot of energy dealing with those rogues, go to sleep, I'll watch the night." Liu Yue persuaded Qiu Yan, blew out the candles, and sat at the table.

The three of them slept in one room, and because they were worried that the money would be exposed, someone had to watch the night.

Qiu Yan didn't refuse, and just fell asleep.

"Things are almost arranged, it's time to follow the plan."

Lying on the hard bed, Qiu Yan's thoughts turned, and his mind led the souls to gather in one place, gushing out from the sky.

The soul came out of the body, turned around in the house, and then floated out of the window at a turning point, and then a blue light gushed out of the soul, wrapped the soul body, and flew out towards Yuanning City.

The night was getting darker.
