Chapter 62 [Stealing Things]

Tuoba Song's face showed a fierce look. The Xin family army had been suppressing their grassland tribe since the first generation, which was really hateful.

"Judging from the tone of the people from the Northern Territory, these Dasheng soldiers are deserters from the Xin family army!"

"If these Xin family soldiers retreat, it will be our territory. Should we catch them all in one fell swoop?"

Yan Chaoyue and Xin Ningyu looked at each other!

Qinglin Mountain.

Jiang Lili woke up and opened her eyes, only to find that there was another group of people following the team from Zhaoping Marquis' Mansion. A slightly fat middle-aged man with a mustache was looking at her. The man's identity emerged in her mind: it was Madam Yang's brother, the corrupt official Yang Baoshan.

Yang Baoshan was extremely excited when he saw Jiang Lili wake up: "She's awake, finally awake."

Earlier, Yang Baoshan was planning to wake up Jiang Lili, but Xin Che glared back at him, warning him not to wake Jiang Lili.

Yang Baoshan still wanted to use his uncle's status to pressure Xin Che, but Xin Che asked Xin Cheng to go and borrow a knife from Master Cen, and Yang Baoshan immediately became obedient.

Yang Baoshan flattered, "Nephew's wife, we would like to borrow your cart for a while."

Jiang Lili got off Xin Che's back and stretched. "Fifty cents an hour."

Yang Baoshan's wife, Mrs. Luo, was furious: "You really just speak without thinking!"

Xin Che stretched his muscles and his finger joints made a "cracking" sound, and Luo Shi calmed down a lot.

Jiang Lili glanced at her calmly and said, "Master Yang and Madam have been supported along the way. Can't they even come up with this little money?"

Yang Baoshan was annoyed. Now everyone knew that his family was a fat sheep. Luo Shi tried to bargain: "Fifty cents is fine, but you have to help our Yun Zhao treat the cold."

"This is a separate price. A course of treatment for the cold medicine is thirty cents."

Jiang Lili said decisively, "If you let your daughter continue to be sick like this, she might infect you."

Luo was holding Yang Yunzhao, and suddenly felt that there was a hot potato in her arms, so she quickly helped Yang Yunzhao to the side.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to pay.”

Jiang Lili rolled her eyes, and suddenly lowered her voice, saying to Yang Baoshan, "Tell me who instructed you to embezzle the disaster relief funds."

Xin Che narrowed his eyes and stared at Yang Baoshan, "Where is the disaster relief money now?"

Yang Baoshan immediately stopped talking.

He pulled out a piece of silver from his pocket and said, "Can't I pay for it?"

"I admit that I was greedy for the money and spent it all. Now I am exiled as punishment!"

"Okay." Jiang Lili accepted the money with a smile and rented the cart to them.

However, the people in the Yang Mansion need to push the cart themselves. Jiang Lili doesn't want the bodyguards to push the cart for them.

In the end, the Yang family not only received the money from renting the cart, but also had to help support the large wooden box on the cart. This deal was a sure win.

Jiang Lili looked at the Yang family who were grunting as they pushed the cart and said, "There's definitely something fishy about Yang Baoshan, but how can we pry him open?"

Xin Che glanced at Yang Baoshan and said meaningfully, "Don't worry, there's still a long way to go."

Jiang Lili took the money and gave a course of medicine to the Yang family after a while.

When Luo Shi found out that Yang Baoshan had stuffed a silver ingot into her pocket, she felt incredibly distressed. "You spent a silver ingot to rent this cart to get medicine for Yun Zhao. Did you get bitten in the head by a bug?!"

Luo poked Yang Baoshan's nose and scolded, "Do you think this is still the same as it was in the capital?"

Yang Baoshan didn't say anything.

Yang Yunzhao's six-year-old brother, Yang Gu, rolled his dark eyes and said to Luo: "Don't worry, Mom. I see Jiang Lili always carries that old basket on his back. There must be something valuable in it."

"Child, take the opportunity to feel inside the backpack later."

Mrs. Luo thought her son was really smart: "Yeah, maybe those mosquito repellent ointments and herbs are in the backpack. She wouldn't notice if a few are missing."

"My baby is so smart!"

On the way thereafter, Yang Gu stared at Jiang Lili's backpack with a pair of cunning eyes.

After the exile team had been gone for an hour and a half, Jiang Lili received a message from Zhang Xiaopang.

@Zhang Xiaopang: Sister Li, Master Yan asked me to buy him some thick snakes to feed the python. I'll send them to your backpack later, don't be afraid.

Jiang Lili: [It's okay. After last night, I feel like I'm immune to all poisons and I'm not afraid of anything.]

The exile team found a shady place to rest. Jiang Lili put down the backpack on her body. The basket of "feed" was quite heavy, and she had to send the "goods" to Yan Chaoyue quickly.

Jiang Lili placed the backpack under a tree. Xin Yan came over and whispered to her, "Auntie, I noticed Yang Gu is always staring at your backpack. You better be careful and keep the things in the backpack tight."

Jiang Lili glanced at Yang Gu who looked at her from time to time, and remembered what Xiaopang had just said.

She rolled her eyes and smiled mischievously, "Auntie, please help me keep an eye on the backpack and don't let Yang Gu take it away."

"But if he touches the things in the backpack, just let him."

"But you better stay away from the backpack. I'm afraid I might hurt you."

Xin Yan was curious: "What's in the backpack?"

Jiang Lili and Xin Yan whispered a few words. After listening, Xin Yan also showed a fox-like expression. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

So Jiang Lili and Xin Yan pretended nothing happened and let the backpack lie quietly under the tree.

After a while, Jiang Lili and Xin Che went to pick wild fruits, while Xin Yan picked small flowers in the grass.

Yang Gu found that they had relaxed their vigilance and no one was looking at the backpack, so he quietly approached.

"Humph, how dare you blackmail our family!"

Yang Gu looked around to keep watch for himself, slightly lifted the oilcloth on the backpack with his left hand, and reached into the backpack with his right hand to take a look!

He found a bundle of wet and slippery long strips, which felt cold to the touch and were still squirming in his hands.

“Ahhhhhh!!”

It's a snake!

Yang Gu screamed and pulled out his hand, but two snakes were already wrapped around his hand, and the tip of his right middle finger was bitten tightly by a snake. The scene was so beautiful.

Yang Gu sat on the ground with a pale face, and backed away using his hands and feet, trying to shake off the snake in his hand.

Yang Gu's mother, Luo, was stunned at this moment. She screamed and ran to Yang Gu.

"Jiang Lili, why do you carry so many snakes in your backpack?"

"My big golden nugget was bitten by you, a snake. What are you going to give me as compensation?!"

"Ouch, what's going on~~"

Jiang Lili came over as if she had just noticed something: "Hey, why did you move my backpack?"

Many little cuties were crawling on Yang Gu's body, and he was bitten and rolled on the ground in pain.

Some people in the team saw Jiang Lili carrying this backpack every day and were curious about what was in the basket.

But now these people's curiosity has been completely scared away. After all, the scene of Yang Gu being entangled by many snakes has been deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.
