Pastoral peasant girls all over the world

Chapter 37
Mu Sixi walked cautiously and quickly to the entrance of the village pushing the cart, for fear that others would see her outside in the middle of the night, but fortunately, she arrived at the entrance of the village very quickly.

Next to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, Mu Yichen was sitting on a stone bench panting heavily. Seeing Mu Sixi coming, he wiped off his sweat and stood up.

"Xi'er, you're here, no one saw you."

Mu Sixi stopped and put the cart beside Big Bear, "Brother, you are still worried about what I do. Come on, let's lift the bear up and get it away quickly, or it will be dawn."

Mu Yichen came over, and the brother and sister finally carried Big Bear into the car with all their might.

Mu Yichen said to Mu Sixi: "Xi'er, get in the car, brother will push you."

Mu Sixi shook his head, "No, let's push together, hurry up." After finishing speaking, he took the lead in lifting up one handrail, and Mu Yichen also quickly lifted up the other side.

In this way, the brothers and sisters worked together to push the cart forward.

The trails in the mountains are particularly difficult to walk at night, and if you are not careful, you will be pushed into the pit, so Mu Sixi and Mu Yichen are very careful.

Fortunately, Mu Yichen had great strength, and he was basically the one who pushed him, while Mu Sixi helped to support and watch the road, and reminded Mu Yichen when he saw a pit.

In this way, I arrived at the town after walking for almost two hours. It was almost dawn at this time, and I could vaguely see some people from the village coming to the town to go to the market. Most of them were like them. Their homes were far from the town and they had to Come to town early to go to the market to sell something or something.

Fortunately, Mu Sixi picked up a few handfuls of straw at the entrance of the village to cover the bear when he came, otherwise he wouldn't be able to scare some people after dawn.

Mu Sixi and Mu Yichen pushed the cart to the gate. There were two stone lions at the gate of the town, and the name of the town "Shiquan Town" was hung on the gate. Mu Sixi and the others lined up there like other people going to the market. Waiting for the door to open.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, it was completely dawn and there were more and more people. They were all from several villages here. Everyone who knew each other gathered together to chat. Short, it’s not about what to sell today, etc...

At this time, there was a noise from the gate of the town, and then the gate was opened from the inside, and two yamen servants in official uniforms came out from inside.

"What's the trouble? Come one by one."

Mu Sixi lowered his head and asked Mu Yichen, "Brother, why are you here one by one? Do you need to pay money for entering the city?" So I didn't know that I had to pay money to enter the town, so I asked this question.

Mu Yichen also lowered his head and replied cautiously: "This is stipulated by the imperial court. Anyone who wants to enter the town or city has to pay a tax of 2 copper coins. If there are a lot of goods, there will be another calculation. There will be no charge for setting up stalls anywhere, so everyone is still very happy to give this money.”

After hearing Mu Yichen's words, Mu Sixi nodded, thinking in his heart, this emperor has a lot of eyes, and those who want to evade taxes may be in trouble.

Because Mu Sixi and the others came early, it was their turn after a while.

"How many people?" the yamen servant asked.

Mu Yichen quickly replied: "It's just me and my sister, drag some things in and sell them."

Another yamen servant looked at the cart, yawned and said directly, "Six copper coins."

Just as Mu Yichen was about to ask why there were only two of us with six copper coins, Mu Sixi grabbed him, took out six copper coins from his bosom, and gave them to them.

The yamen servant counted and said, "Go in."

Mu Sixi thanked him, and pushed the cart in with Mu Yichen.
