"Okay, okay! I only have thirty-two cents left. If I don't go back today, my child won't be able to bear it! We came to the city to see a doctor, and the child is already sick. We need to stay out for one night.
If you don’t take the medicine, you will die!”
It was the woman who was in pain first. Qiao Yuyan stood up on tiptoes and saw a one or two-year-old baby in her hands. The baby's face was flushed and his eyes were closed.
Others shouted, "Where can this be! Are you going to let people live?"
"You still have to have some conscience! If you don't have money, who would escape the city tax? It's unreasonable to raise prices like this right now, isn't it?!"
"Is there anyone to take care of you people?"
"They are in cahoots with the government. They are all trying to defraud us ordinary people. Otherwise, how could they get so many tax stamps for entering the city?"
"..."
Everyone was shouting and cursing, but the waiter in the shop was not anxious at all. He even said with a bit of contempt: "Would you like to see if you want to see it? This is what our shopkeeper has decided. If you don't want to, just go ahead."
Please go away and don't interfere with others. There are only ten tickets. If you don't want to, just hurry up and find a place where you can spend the night!
It’s just that when the time comes, you are caught by the government officials and thrown into jail, then you are the real heroes if you still have the strength to yell and scold!”
"I'll take one!"
Finally, someone couldn't help it, so he spoke first and paid twenty coins.
Once the first person speaks, others will compromise.
After all, one is sold for one less.
The woman was still begging, but the clerk in the shop clearly stopped looking at her and was just shouting: "Does anyone else want it? There are five left."
"There are three more!"
Qiao Yuyan was anxious and could only push forward.
Although the people queuing up here are all people who are eager to leave the city, twenty pennies is really not cheap for an ordinary person, so many people just watch.
Qiao Yuyan finally squeezed through these people and reached the waiter, "I want three!"
Who would have thought that the clerk just handed one out, and when he saw her saying this, he spread his hands helplessly, "No, there are only two left, do you want more?"
Qiao Yuyan stared blankly at the two tickets in his hand, nodded quickly, "Yes!"
With a relaxed smile on his face as if he was done with his work, the waiter received the forty coppers that Qiao Yuyan counted, and then handed the two tickets to her, "Congratulations!"
The woman on the side almost collapsed, and suddenly she sat on the ground and started crying. The child in her arms also woke up and started crying together.
The clerk frowned and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go! Why are you crying here! It's not that we made your child sick, and it's not that we don't sell it to you. What can you do if you don't have money? Who made you suffer from this disease?"
Where is the poor life?"
Qiao Yuyan frowned and glared at him, "You should have some virtue in your mouth!"
Everyone else also dispersed. After all, they didn't buy tickets right now and had to worry about where to stay at night. There was no way to waste time here.
The woman was still crying on the ground, and then someone held her arm.
When I looked up, I realized it was the little girl who bought the last two tickets.
"Sister-in-law, come with me!"
Qiao Yuyan helped her get up, walked out of the shop step by step, and walked deeper into the alley. After walking for a long time, when she saw that no one was around, Qiao Yuyan handed her the two tickets, "Take these and take the children home."
!」
The woman looked at Qiao Yuyan blankly, with an unbelievable look in her eyes, "Girl... girl..."
"There are three of us, and these two tickets are not enough. Your child is sick! We can't delay. I can't get out anyway."
The woman burst into tears after hearing this, and immediately wanted to kneel down to Qiao Yuyan, but she immediately stopped her, "I can't do it, it's just a convenient job."
The woman said, "Young lady just saved my son's life!"
As if she just remembered something, she hurriedly dug into her sleeves. Qiao Yuyan stopped her, "No, the child is sick."
He needs money! If it is better, it would be good to buy him something to eat. We adults will not be short of this."
After saying that, he stuffed the ticket into her hand and said, "Let's go quickly! Don't miss the time."
Then he quickly went in another direction.
Qiao Yuyan felt really uncomfortable, a little annoyed, and a little helpless. It would have been nice if she could have packed in faster and bought three tickets.
It just so happens that God is so unreasonable.
The child was about the same age as Sister Min in her previous life. Seeing his appearance, she suddenly remembered the feeling she had when she held Sister Min's child in her previous life.
Qiao Yuyan didn't think she was a kind person, but at the moment she really had no choice but to leave the city by herself, and watched helplessly as the woman and her child entered a desperate situation.
Maybe she still has a way.
In fact, she still had money on her, but if she stayed in an inn, she might be found out in the first round.
Qiao Yuyan was a little hungry, so she bought a fried cake from a street stall and ate it while looking around.
I wanted to see if there was a place where she could stay the night.
The sky was gradually getting dark. In such a small county town, there were not even many lights on the streets. There was only one street light several steps away.
If the prediction is correct, there should be a curfew here at night, which is what the captain of the fire brigade seemed to have said last night.
Where should she go?
While he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a female voice from behind, "Does this girl have nowhere to go?"
Qiao Yuyan was startled, and when she turned around, she saw a woman wearing a long silver-red gown standing behind her. She looked to be in her thirties or forties, looking her up and down.
When he saw Qiao Yuyan's face, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh, many people are trapped in the city today. The girl looks so young, why didn't she go out?"
Qiao Yuyan only felt a little chilly and said quickly: "I'm not trapped in the city, I just went out to buy some things and go back."
The woman's eyes turned to the basket in her hand, "Girl, you are so funny. The vegetables in your basket are almost wilting, why did they just come out?"
I must have delayed going to the city to sell vegetables so early in the morning! The vegetables have not been sold out yet..."
She was seen through at a glance. Although Qiao Yuyan didn't know this person very well, but seeing her clever manners, she had an idea, "Thank you for your concern, but it doesn't concern you!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and started to run away. Unexpectedly, the woman was so fast that she grabbed her wrist and said, "Hey, girl, I want to help you with good intentions. Why are you so repulsive?"
!」
Qiao Yuyan couldn't break free for a while, and couldn't help but panic, "If you keep doing this, I'll call you!" This chapter has been completed!
