The faces of everyone across the street were filled with joy and sorrow.
They knew very well that Boss Han’s words were definitely not a joke!
People who dare to kill even bandits, how can they be afraid of these homeless homeless people?
They wanted this horse from the bottom of their hearts. Who wouldn’t want a horse for free? But if they wanted to trade it with another family’s wealth, they would have to think about it.
"Third brother, our family really has no money, so we don't want this horse anymore."
The thin man retreated instantly.
Seeing people quitting one after another, the Han family was not worried.
It would be best if you can exchange some money for food. If you can't exchange it, it's better to keep it and eat horse meat!
"We want two!"
The man in the lead gathered several families and discussed in whispers for a long time. He gritted his teeth and scraped together the food and money to exchange for two horses.
Boss Han was not stupid. After taking the things and inspecting them carefully, he picked two ponies and handed them over to the other party.
"you……!"
The other party held the reins and looked at the remaining two tall horses, feeling angry and aggrieved.
The Liu family's father and son stepped forward with knives, "What?!"
"..."
After all, the man didn't dare to say anything and just led the horse back.
The two horses were exchanged for five taels of silver, twenty kilograms of millet, thirty kilograms of sorghum, ten kilograms of white flour, and some sweet potatoes and wild vegetables.
Han Laoer and Liu Wansheng looked at each other and felt surprised!
These people should have not been robbed by bandits very much, and they set out late, so they still have so much stuff left in their hands!
So the remaining two horses were one for the Han family and one for the Liu family.
As for the things in exchange, Mrs. Han also proposed that the family should share half of it. But the Liu family refused to say anything.
Ms. Chen was very frightened and said, "Auntie, our family only has a small amount of effort. It's already great to get a horse. Why do we have the nerve to ask for so many things?"
"You're welcome, just take it if it's given to you. If your family hadn't come out to help, we wouldn't have been able to go so smoothly!"
"Auntie, this is not okay, this is against the rules!" Liu Wansheng also tried to dissuade her.
But Han Lao Er directly put his arm around his shoulders and said, "No matter what the rules are, we will all be brothers from now on!"
Liu Wansheng also laughed when he heard this.
After some refusal, Mrs. Han still gave them two taels of silver, five kilograms of millet, ten kilograms of sorghum, three kilograms of white flour and some sweet potatoes and wild vegetables.
Everyone returned to the cave with their belongings, and took out the change and belongings carried by the four bandits and put them all in their pockets.
After decisively throwing the bodies into the mountains, they also buried the traces of the fight with soil.
After finishing all this work, it was already dawn.
Mrs. Han wiped her sweat, straightened up and shouted, "Pack your things quickly, let's leave quickly!"
Not only do you have to hurry up, but you also have to watch out for other bandits chasing you!
After packing up, the two families met outside.
Han Laoer asked: "Brother Liu, where are you going next? Do you want to join our family so that we can take care of each other?"
Liu Wansheng and Mrs. Chen looked at each other and were very moved.
But after some thought, he still shook his head.
"Forget it, it's better to spread out. It would be too big a target for our two families to lead the horses together. It would be bad if we attract the attention of the bandits!"
"That's true."
Seeing the disappointment on Mr. Han's face, Liu Wansheng said with a simple smile: "We are going to Hehua Village at the foot of Jingzhou to join our relatives. If you don't find a place to stay in the future, just go to Hehua Village to find us!"
The Han family nodded, but couldn't help but feel pity in their hearts.
Lin Yueru also felt a little regretful.
The Liu family is generous and honest, and they are indeed a good choice to be friends on the road to escape.
After the two families said goodbye one by one, they were about to go their separate ways.
Liu Huaijing hesitated again and again, and finally plucked up the courage to trot up to Han Yanqing.
"Uncle Yan Qing, if we meet again in the future, can you teach me martial arts?"
When Mrs. Chen wanted to call him to stop, it was already too late.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Han Yanqing.
Han Yanqing was obviously shocked, and he subconsciously grabbed Lin Yueru's hand.
Lin Yueru guided gently: "Yan Qing, Huai Jing is asking you, are you willing?"
Han Yanqing just shook his head and held Lin Yueru's hand without saying a word.
Liu Huaijing thought he was unwilling, and was greatly shocked. He lowered his head in injury and tried to run back to his mother.
"Huai Jing."
As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Lin Yueru.
She smiled and said: "Don't be sad. Yan Qing's head was injured. He is like a child now. It's not that he doesn't want to teach you, but he can't remember and doesn't know how to teach you."
Liu Huaijing raised his head and looked at Han Yanqing doubtfully.
Han Yanqing's eyes were full of Lin Yueru.
My wife is so smart, she knew what he was thinking without even saying anything!
After looking at it, he nodded with regret and relief.
"Then I hope that Uncle Yan Qing will be better when we meet next time!"
Lin Yueru smiled and nodded, "I hope so."
The two families said goodbye and officially separated at the intersection.
After getting a tall horse, Boss Han directly hitched the cart to the horse.
They tidied up the cart and asked Sanbao, Sibao and Mrs. Han to sit on the cart.
If Mrs. Han wants to be strong, she will sit on the trolley for a while and then get down and walk for a while, leaving it to the juniors to take turns to get up and have a rest.
Although the three brothers of the Han family were not seriously injured in the fight with the bandits, their skin was broken and red and swollen was unavoidable.
If there wasn't a horse that could pull the cart, the forward speed would have to be slowed down.
At the end of the morning, everyone felt the happiness of having a horse. Han Yanqing could not help but keep touching the horse and was reluctant to let go.
During the lunch break, Han Yanqing took the initiative to find food and fodder for the horses.
Having just received a lot of food in the morning, Mrs. Han was in a good mood, smiled, waved her hand and let him go.
"Girl Ru, follow Lao Si, don't let him run away!"
This was exactly what Lin Yueru wanted. She was just about to take the opportunity to go out and get some things from the space.
Han Yanqing was only thinking about finding food and grass for the horses, but even the bark of the nearby trees had been stripped off, so there was nothing edible anywhere.
What's more, it's already autumn, and even if there is any grass, it's already yellow withered grass.
Lin Yueru followed him, rummaging around in the space and thinking.
There are many chickens, ducks and geese in the space, and a lot of eggs have been accumulated. These things are in short supply on the road to escape.
What's more, the men of the Han family are all injured to some extent now, so it would be good to eat some meat and drink some broth to replenish their health.
When Han Yanqing wasn't paying attention, she picked a fat chicken from the space, found ten eggs, and threw them behind the tree.
Looking at Han Yanqing's anxious and serious back, she thought for a while, then found a large piece of fresh grass with soil in the space and placed it in the open space next to it.
Sure enough, Han Yanqing's voice became excited.
"Daughter-in-law, there is grass here! Look! There is so much grass, it must be enough for the horses to eat!"
"Okay! Then dig some more grass and bring it back."
Han Yanqing excitedly started digging grass, and dug up the large piece of grass that Lin Yueru had moved out.
This was just a lie to him. Any other person would be surprised to see such an unexpected patch of green grass.
After finally waiting for Han Yanqing to finish digging the grass, she quickly released the chickens she had found in the space.
The very fat chickens that had been raised in the space were following the chickens looking for food. She suddenly threw them out, flapping their wings and screaming "clucking" in fear.
"Ah! Yan Qing, there is a pheasant here!"
When Han Yanqing heard the rooster crow, he turned back alertly. Now his eyes lit up, "Pheasant!"
Before the poor fat chicken could figure out how he ended up in such a horrible place, Han Yanqing pounced and caught him!
Han Yanqing happily held the fat chicken in her arms and ran towards her, her eyes narrowed with laughter, "Daughter-in-law, look! It's really a chicken! It's fatter than the ones at home!"
"Yan Qing is awesome!" Lin Yueru gave him a thumbs up.
"Let's look for it again. Since there are chickens here, there might be eggs."
Lin Yueru said as she took the lead to walk behind the tree.
After a while, she came out holding ten eggs that she had placed in advance.
Han Yanqing's eyes lit up, "Daughter-in-law, you are so smart! You can find all of this!"
Lin Yueru blushed when she heard his compliment and smiled, "Let's go back to find mother quickly."
