“If you don’t report it to the official, what do you think we should do?
Ye Chuqiu asked again: "Are these two people just left here and ignored?"
"Who cares what they do? These two people want to harm us and deserve to die." Li Youmei took a sip at them.
"Dahu and I just caught the thin monkey who brought us here before. According to his explanation, they planned to lock the door and smoke us to death," Ye Chuqiu added.
"Ah? There really isn't a good person in this city."
Li Youmei heard the sound and kicked shopkeeper Tian again. After hearing their "humming and groaning" sounds, she said: "Sister-in-law, I don't think it's appropriate to stay here for a long time. Otherwise, let's just run away?"
"They want to hurt us, but we still have to run away? How can there be such a reason in the world? In my opinion, it is better to kill them!" Ye Chuqiu glared, looking resentful.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't be impulsive!"
Afraid that Ye Chuqiu would really kill someone, two brothers, Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingshi, quickly stopped her, "Sister-in-law, those thieves were trying to kill us with big knives, so we just fought back, but these two people couldn't succeed in the end.
There is something wrong with us killing people."
"Yes, sister-in-law, haven't you been cultivating merits? I think we can just let them go. We can just take away their money. As for whether they can survive, it depends on whether God will forgive them."
The two brothers talked to each other, and Ye Chuqiu seemed to be convinced by them, and the anger in his body gradually subsided, "In that case, then you go search everywhere to see if there is anything valuable; Yumei, Chunfang, you guys
Pack your things quickly, we will set off in an hour."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
After listening to Ye Chuqiu's instructions, everyone went downstairs to do their own business. Ye Chuqiu also lay on the bed, preparing to rest for a while.
An hour passed quickly, and Zhao Hehua woke up Ye Chuqiu, "Mom, it's almost dawn."
Ye Chuqiu opened her eyes, sat up straight, stretched, and asked, "Have you packed everything?"
"Everything is packed." Zhao Hehua nodded, "It's up to you to see if you have anything to pack."
"I have put away all my things." Ye Chuqiu stood up and picked up a backpack on the table, "Let's go."
Everyone gathered downstairs, and Ye Chuqiu asked again: "How was the harvest?"
"There are fifty-eight taels of money in total, and there are five hundred and eighty copper coins." Lin Qingyun took out the money, and Ye Chuqiu said: "The money will be divided among the three of us."
The inn had scissors and a small scale. Ye Chuqiu evenly divided the silver into three parts, and the remaining broken silver that fell on the table was stuck with wax balls for use next time.
The use of silver in this era is not like what is shown on TV, where you can just take out a piece of silver at every turn. These days, those who can actually use silver are those who are rich, and ordinary people use copper plates.
Ye Chuqiu also used money because she made several windfalls.
Of course, silver ingots can be large or small. If there is no broken silver to pay the bill, then cut off a small piece from the silver ingot. After cutting, weigh it with a special small scale. If there is too much, cut it off again.
Come down.
The cut silver pieces are not easy to store, but they will not make the store cheaper. Instead, they will be stuck with special wax balls. When you accumulate more in the future, you can melt the wax balls and melt the broken silver inside into a small piece.
If you get 100 yuan, you can spend it again.
After the money was properly distributed, Li Youmei and Chai Chunfang began to tell her in detail what they had taken.
They took all the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in the kitchen, divided it into three portions, and gave one portion to Zhao Hehua.
They also didn't let go of kitchen knives, hatchets and other items, because Ye Chuqiu's family had a carriage, so they even lifted down the iron pots in the kitchen and took them away.
These days, the court restricts the use of iron. Iron is expensive. Farm tools and weapons need to be made of iron. At this time, iron smelting technology is limited, and the court strictly controls the flow of iron into the market. Therefore, some poor families would be happy to have a kitchen knife.
, iron pots can only be afforded by people with some wealth.
Under normal circumstances, everyone uses clay pots, also known as "kettles", to cook.
This thing is pottery, which can be made with mud. It is much cheaper and can be afforded by ordinary people. It is just used for cooking, not stir-frying, but only stewed food.
Ye Chuqiu and the others used to use this kind of big cauldron to light fires and eat on the road.
Speaking of which, Ye Chuqiu has not had to use an iron pot during this whole journey of escaping from famine, but this time shopkeeper Tian did give them a pot.
So when dividing the spoils, Ye Chuqiu asked for the iron pot, the sharp kitchen knife, hatchet and other things, and let Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingshi divide them.
"Hey, sister-in-law, I suddenly remembered that you picked up a lot of big knives before, didn't you? I went to see it today and found that none of the big knives on our ox cart were stolen. Has it been stolen?" Li Youmei suddenly asked.
"Don't worry about this. I've already hid it. How dare I take a big knife when I enter the city? Why don't they have people come to check us out?" Ye Chuqiu said.
"Okay, sister-in-law, you just have to know what's going on." Li Youmei nodded.
"Everything has been divided. If nothing is missing, let's set off." Ye Chuqiu said.
"Okay, I really don't want to stay in this place anymore."
Li Youmei said something, and the others had the same reaction. When they heard Ye Chuqiu's words, they all got up and went to the backyard to lead the horses and get things.
"Uh huh~"
The thin monkey was tied to the pillar. When he saw them coming, he screamed "wuwu". Ye Chuqiu raised his hand and hit him on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.
Immediately afterwards, people either pulled bullock carts, led horses, or carried things, and just like this, they went out with large loads and small loads.
"It's still early. Let's go to the livestock market again and I'll buy a carriage." Ye Chuqiu said.
Originally, she was planning to go to the pawn shop today and buy some food. Unexpectedly, she encountered this incident again, which disrupted her plan.
But now she has no shortage of food, and she also has oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. She even caught two chickens in Shopkeeper Tian's kitchen. Even if she doesn't buy food, it should be enough to last until the next city.
And Ye Chuqiu has always been timid. She doesn't like to cause trouble. Now that she has caused trouble and she has no other ability to deal with it, she can only run away quickly to get rid of this trouble.
Otherwise, if they really want to report themselves to an official, it would be fine if they meet an upright official, but if they meet a corrupt official, they will really have to peel off their skin.
The officials in this ghost place are not like those shown on TV. The officials in this place are so superior that if ordinary people want to file a complaint, they will not see the officials at all. It is the master who will deal with it.
Of course, something like Ye Chuqiu and the others is a big case, and the county magistrate must be present. What? You, a refugee, are suing a good citizen? I'm sorry, no matter what you say is true or false, I'll kill you with thirty sticks first.
Let’s talk about it.
Based on the above considerations, Ye Chuqiu still gave up dealing with the government. If the people did not fight with the government, she might as well find another place to live in peace.
