Xiaoyue stared wide-eyed at Manager Ning, who smiled.

"Leave your address so we can contact you if anything comes up."

Xiaoyue took out the shoes again.

The shopkeeper didn't even look at them, and called over his assistant, "Buy the shoes at the usual price."

Li Qianqian went outside and called Liang Qi in to look at the contract.

The shop assistant led Xiaoyue to the counter. He gave her 75 coins for the three pairs of cloth shoes and 45 taels of silver for the 30 pieces of clothing.

Liang Qi reviewed the new contract: Style 1 (with pictures and cutting dimensions provided) had six sizes, five pieces per size, for a total of thirty pieces; Style 2 (with pictures and cutting dimensions provided) also had six sizes, five pieces per size, for a total of thirty pieces. The sample fabrics were also retrieved, totaling sixty pieces.

Xiaoyue didn't buy fabric at Xingfei Fabric Shop in the county town, thinking that the price of fabric there had dropped since she returned to the town. So the three of them left the clothing shop.

When Xiaoyue and Li Qianqian came out, they immediately crawled under the blankets on the oxcart. There were things in the baskets when they came, which provided shelter from the wind, but there were nothing on the way back. The wind was picking up, so the two of them covered their heads with the blankets.

Liang Qi drove the cart alone, occasionally hearing the laughter of two girls under the blankets on the oxcart. The way back was against the wind, and the northwest wind blew snowflakes flying all over the ground.

Liang Qi thought to himself, "Please don't let it snow. Let it snow however it wants once I get home."

When the oxcart was halfway there, the ox stopped moving. Liang Qi looked around and saw that there was no village or shop in sight, so he jumped off the cart. At that moment, Xiao Yue also showed her face.

The wind lashed at her face like knives. Xiaoyue covered her face and got off the oxcart.

They found a blood-soaked man lying on the main road ahead, waving his hands in front of the oxcart.

The person was in the middle of the ground, so the car had to move the person aside to pass. Liang Qi and Xiao Yue slowly approached, and Liang Qi turned around and waved to Xiao Yue, indicating that she should not follow.

Liang Qi reached the man lying down, and just as he was about to pull the man aside...

Suddenly, I saw the man's face: Yang Danian.
