What to do when you transmigrate to ancient times and encounter natural disasters? The window paper tears with a poke, the door collapses with a push, the thatch blows off with a gust, and there...
This area is inhabited by ordinary people with little financial resources and few cattle and sheep.
For example, the thousands of sheep flocks that Jiang Yue and his companions encountered on the road were all large caravans with regular sheep collection.
Taking two aspects into consideration, one is the small number of sheep to be collected, and the other is to avoid disputes caused by competing for business, Jiang Yue naturally chose to do scattered business.
Saihan's youngest son had already told several relatives about the plan, so when Jiang Yue placed the remaining goods on the selected open space, his relatives had already driven the cattle and sheep there.
The goods were limited, so they were sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
There have been few caravans going deep into the border town in recent years, and now that one has finally arrived, how can we not be excited?
After the cloth, grain, and salt were exchanged, the excitement died down. Bowls and jars were also popular, but they weren't worth exchanging sheep for, so many people paid for them. Jiang Yue didn't mind, as he made a little money.
In the end, they exchanged a total of 100 sheep and 12 cows, which was more than she expected. All of them were raised for slaughter, so they returned home with a full load.
“Mee——”
Suisui ran back and forth, touching the lambs' snow-white fur, and was very excited. "Mom, are these sheep all ours?"
Jiang Yue's face was sunburned red, and she exhaled, "Yes, don't pull the tail, be careful of getting kicked."
Saihan's wife cut a melon for them and said with a smile, "The sheep we raise are well-behaved. As long as you don't kick or hit them, they won't butt you."
Jiang Yue took the melon and took a bite, smiling. It was sweet and thirst-quenching.
Saihan originally wanted to treat them to a meal at his home before leaving, but Jiang Yue refused.
It was so lively here this morning, I wonder how many people's eyes were secretly attracted. A family of three with children transporting so many cattle and sheep is simply like carving four big words on their foreheads: Come and grab me!
Saihan was also worried about their safety, so he didn't try to persuade them. He asked his wife to put a few local melons and seven or eight large cakes in their car. He also took his son and sent them out of the border town.
Watching the family leave, Saihan's eldest son asked, "Dad, with no one and no car, how did they manage to bring so much stuff when they came?"
Saihan couldn't figure it out either. "Maybe someone picked him up along the way."
After the Saihan family was out of sight, Jiang Yue coaxed Sui Sui to sleep and then left the carriage. "Is anyone watching us?"
Jiang Nian remained alert, "No."
Jiang Yue was quick to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly store all the cattle, sheep, and mule carts into the space. Then, she and Jiang Nian sat down to have a comfortable lunch and a nap.
On the side of the road, a dozen men riding large horses and holding large swords looked at each other.
"Didn't they say there were some wealthy merchants left alone? Why haven't we seen any? Could they have run faster than us?"
"Impossible! They're carrying so many cattle and sheep, there's no way they can be faster than us!"
The bandits dismounted and carefully looked for the wheel prints and the footprints of cattle and sheep. They had followed all the way here and stopped at this place, as if they had suddenly disappeared.
Could it be that someone else got there first and robbed them? After all, in this place, the government has no control, and there are more than one or two bandits.
Jiang Yue was exhausted that morning, and after a full meal, she fell into a deep sleep. She didn't know how long she slept, but when she opened her eyes, all she saw was a sea of white sheep. Their constant bleating gave her a headache, and the occasional mooing of cows was also heard.
Sui Sui lay on the cow's back, eating a piece of melon flesh in his left hand, and putting the remaining melon peel in front of the cow's nose with his right hand, hanging it back and forth, while Jiang Nian sat quietly on the side watching.
Jiang Yue took out a small booklet with the dates written on it. It had been exactly one month since they left. Now that they had achieved their purpose, they didn't need to rush back.
Their days and nights were reversed, resting during the day and traveling at night. Seeing his son's vigor and vitality, Jiang Nian sent him on a hunting trip. They passed through many forests and mountains, and there were also many wild animals in the wastelands.
After half a month, Suisui was able to catch small wild animals such as rabbits and pheasants on his own.
Jiang Yue happily roasted them all for him and praised him while eating.
"That's amazing! From now on, I won't have to do anything but wait for you to bring me back prey to eat!"
"hey-hey……"
Jiang Nian glanced at his son's blushing face and uttered a soft sigh. When he was his age, he could have hunted deer.
When they returned to Yindu, the last summer rain had just stopped and the weather was gradually getting cooler.
As night fell, the guards on the city wall looked at the faint white in the distance and felt their hearts tighten.
"Look, what is that?!"
"It seems to float, so, so many——"
Several people looked at each other and swallowed. So many people died in the past two years. Could it be that ghosts returned home at night?
They held the knife tightly in their hands and dared not look again.
Jiang Yue drove the cart to lead the way, while Jiang Nian and his son followed behind to herd the sheep. There were too many of them, so they had to make sure they didn't run away, otherwise it would be difficult to catch them.
Sui Sui pretended to be serious, holding a small whip and muttering, "You all must obey me and don't run around!"
The noise of hundreds of sheep and twelve cows was quite loud. When they arrived outside the farm, a fire had already been lit in the yard. Yuan Zhuangtou held the kitchen knife tightly, fearing that someone would steal the food.
Fan Jin, who had climbed onto the roof to investigate, ran out happily to open the door and shouted to the Yuanzhuang leaders, "The boss is back!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhuangtou quickly put down his knife and went over to help remove the large wooden block holding up the door. "Is it really the wife and husband who have returned? Why are they making so much noise? Did they bring back new livestock?"
Before leaving, the owner asked him to build a few more pens and sheds, but did not explain it clearly. He just thought that there were too many livestock and not enough. Now he thinks that he must have brought back new ones!
