The old man frowned.

Judging from the anxious look on the little girl's face, what she said was probably true.

I am an honest farmer and I really can't just stand by and watch someone die.

Besides, we're just taking her into the city. As long as she doesn't do anything wrong, nothing serious should happen.

Besides, the girl didn't ask me to do it for nothing. Isn't this like giving me ten copper coins?

After thinking for a while, the old man finally agreed.

"Then let's make a deal first. You follow me into the city. Don't talk nonsense later, and don't run around after you get into the city. If anything happens, I won't be responsible."

When Lin Jiuyue saw that the old man agreed, she was instantly happy.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll come to you as soon as I buy the medicine. I won't cause you any trouble."

Jingyang County checks people entering the city, but is relatively relaxed when it comes to leaving the city, where they are generally not checked.

"Okay, you pretend to be my granddaughter. Don't speak later, just follow me."

The old man grows a lot of vegetables at home and usually goes to the city to sell them.

Although the drought in Jingyang County is not serious, it is not far from Qing'an County and has been affected to some extent.

The old man's village happened to have a spring, so there was no shortage of water, which was why he could sell his vegetables in the city.

Lin Jiuyue nodded quickly after hearing this and followed the old man towards the city gate.

"Who is he? Which village is he from? What's the name of the village chief?"

As soon as the two men reached the city gate, they were stopped by the guards.

Old Man Liu was obviously very familiar with these procedures, but he still hunched over and answered humbly.

"Sir, I'm from Liujia Village, and the village chief is Liu Shan."

After hearing this, the officers and soldiers turned and looked at Lin Jiuyue.

The old man suddenly became nervous.

"This is my granddaughter. She usually stays at home and is a little afraid of meeting people. This time I brought her to the city to broaden her horizons."

The officers and soldiers frowned and asked no more questions.

"Two coppers per person to enter the city. Four coppers for two people."

Old man Liu nodded and took out four copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the soldiers guarding the city gate.

The officers and soldiers took the copper coins expressionlessly and then let Lin Jiuyue and Old Man Liu into the city.

After entering the city, Lin Jiuyue gave Old Man Liu another two copper coins.

"Uncle, this is my entrance fee to the city, please keep it."

Old man Liu looked at the two copper coins handed over by Lin Jiuyue and took them generously.

"Then I won't be polite. By the way, after you buy the medicine, wait here for me. We'll go out together to avoid the soldiers getting suspicious. One hour, at most, no matter if you have bought anything or not, you have to come here. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you if you can't leave."

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

Old Man Liu was kind enough to take me into the city, and although I gave him money, I would feel bad if I had implicated such a kind-hearted person because of such a small matter.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here after I finish shopping."

Although one hour is a bit tight, it is enough for me to buy things.

After separating from Old Man Liu, Lin Jiuyue did not go to the pharmacy, but asked passers-by about the wealthy families in the city.

The rice planted in my own space has been harvested three times, from the initial dozens of rice grains to nearly a thousand kilograms now.

After the rice was harvested, Paopao used his mind to process it into rice, leaving only one pound of rice as seeds.

The white rice was obviously of the highest quality. Lin Jiuyue planned to sell all of it to wealthy families at a high price.

If Lin Jiuyue had enough money, she would not have thought of stealing the rice from the space at this time.

After asking around, Lin Jiuyue finally found the Yu family, the richest family in the city.

Just as he was about to go forward and knock on the door, the door of the Yu family opened.

"Go away, where did you come from, beggar? Get out of here right now, don't block my young master's way!"

Lin Jiuyue: ...

That's right. The clothes he was wearing were patched up, and he hadn't changed his clothes during these days of fleeing from famine. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a beggar.

"I'm not a beggar. I want to ask if your Yu family wants to buy some rice."

Knowing it in his heart is one thing, but Lin Jiuyue would never admit that he is a beggar.

"Do you think our Yu family is short of rice? Besides, you look like a beggar. How can you sell rice? It's really ridiculous."

Lin Jiuyue frowned when she heard the sarcastic words.

The saying 'It's easier to meet the King of Hell than to deal with the little devils' is really true!

"Li San. Who are you talking to?"

A sloppy male voice rang out. Lin Jiuyue looked up and saw a young man in fancy clothes walking out of the Yu family's gate. He looked about the same age as her younger brother.

"Master, he's a beggar."

Lin Jiuyue: ...

"I'm not a beggar! I just want to ask if your Yu family wants to buy rice!"

Why does this slave named Li San always look down on others?

"Rice? Our Yu family has no shortage of rice."

The teenager frowned.

Lin Jiuyue had expected this situation and was not disappointed.

"My rice is different from your Yu family's rice."

Lin Jiuyue looked calm.

The eldest young master of the Yu family, who was originally not interested, saw that Lin Jiuyue was different from the people he had met before. After being rejected by him, he was not disappointed, but looked as if he would make a profit if he bought it, and he immediately became interested.

"Oh? How is it different?"

Lin Jiuyue immediately took out a handful of rice from his cloth bag and walked towards the boy. Before he reached the boy, he was stopped by an attendant named Li San.

"What are you doing? Who is my young master? Is he someone that a stinky beggar like you can get close to?"

When Lin Jiuyue heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but how could this person insult me ​​so unscrupulously in front of my master?

"I heard that the Yu family is one of the richest families in Jingyang County, but I didn't expect that the servants in the family would be so unruly. Since you, the Yu family, look down on my rice so much, then forget it."

After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.

When Lin Jiuyue was grabbing the rice, she deliberately missed a little, which happened to be seen by the eldest young master of the Yu family.

The eldest young master of the Yu family saw Lin Jiuyue leave angrily and spoke.

"Wait a minute, girl, can you show me your rice?"

Lin Jiuyue stopped and looked at Li San without saying a word.

How could the eldest young master of the Yu family, who lived in a big mansion, not understand what Lin Jiuyue meant?

"Li San, why don't you quickly apologize to this girl?"

Li San reacted instantly after being suddenly scolded by the eldest son of the Yu family.

"Miss, I'm so sorry. I was just being too mean and offended you. Please don't take it to heart. I'm here to apologize."

Lin Jiuyue waved her hand.

Although Li San was a bit of a snob, he was quite sensible. He was here to sell rice, and it would be unwise to argue with a servant. Besides, he was pressed for time and didn't have time to waste.
