A lot of things happened that day. Only now, when it was late at night and everyone was alone, could Shen Qing calm down and think carefully about the past.
The cave that suddenly appeared was truly magical, and the other world on the other side of the cave was even more so. Although the people's clothing, words and deeds were beyond Shen Qing's cognition, and there were also terrifying zombies, it was probably because of the appearance of zombies that famine broke out in that world, causing the price of food to soar.
A basket of free wild fruits and mushrooms can be exchanged for so many gold, silver and jewelry, and a crossbow that can save your life. Isn't it like picking it up for free? This is not something that cannot be understood. The uncle who fled from the south of Xiahe Village said that when his hometown was flooded, a silver bracelet weighing two taels could not be exchanged for three or five kilograms of rice, and a girl or boy of sixteen or seventeen years old could only be exchanged for half a bag of food. During the most difficult times, some families even exchanged their children for food!
And what that world encountered were zombies that were more terrifying than the flood!
And those zombies didn't seem to attack Shen Qing, which was God's extra care! Shen Qing was determined to learn more about the world over there and seize this opportunity.
When he saves more money, he will build a big house in the village. If he is afraid of being harassed by the old Shen family again, he will stay away from them and move to Shiqu Village with his uncles with his mother. Or just buy a house in the county town! And find a live-in husband - it is really hard to live without a man in this world. They are orphans and widows, and if they don't find trouble themselves, trouble will come to you! Or it is said that widows are always surrounded by trouble.
If he had money, the men who came to his house wouldn't mind his appearance, and maybe he could pick a good man. Shen Qing was thinking in his heart, he didn't care about the man's ability - anyway, he had money! He didn't have to worry about the family finances. As long as he had good character, knew that the Gu family loved people, and could support his mother with him, that would be fine.
Of course, it would be better if he was taller and more handsome.
Shen Qing curled her lips: The boys in the village disliked his height and were unwilling to marry him. Did Shen Qing want her man to be half a head shorter than her? They themselves were not tall, but they disliked his height!
Like that Song Kaiji, his size and appearance are both good! I can choose one based on Song Kaiji's appearance later... Shen Qing was stunned by the sudden thought that popped into his mind, and silently covered his face with the quilt.
Let’s think about the present first, and then talk about the future!
Shen Qing emptied the contents of the small bag and spread them on the bed. In addition to gold and silver, there were also various jade bracelets. In addition to those exchanged from Song Kaiji, there were also those picked up in the small shop. It is said that gold has a price but jade is priceless. Shen Qing did not know how to distinguish these jades and could not tell the good from the bad. It was not easy to take them out to exchange for money, so he put them away first. He only picked up two silver bracelets with delicate carvings and a silver lock as big as a pigeon egg and put them in his purse. He would take them to the pawnshop to exchange for money tomorrow.
With something on his mind, Shen Qing woke up after sleeping for only three hours. There was also a rustling of voices outside the yard: the pork was not sold out last night, and someone came to the door early in the morning. Miao also got up in a hurry, and greeted them without even washing her face.
Shen Qing also got up and went to the village head's house to borrow a mule cart. It was agreed yesterday that he would borrow a mule cart to transport firewood to the county to sell today.
It was still early, and only Aunt Guixiang and her eldest daughter-in-law were up in the village chief's house, boiling water for breakfast. Seeing Shen Qing coming, Aunt Guixiang stuffed two bean buns into his hands and said, "You haven't eaten yet? You didn't eat much last night, and we shared it all. There's nothing good in my house, and it's not as good as your mother's cooking. You can fill your stomach first, and I'll get you a cart!"
Last night, a big plate of braised pork with pickled mustard greens conquered Aunt Guixiang. She also chatted with Aunt Miao Lian for a long time. She felt that their relationship had become closer. She felt close to Shen Qing just by looking at him.
"Thank you, Auntie." Shen Qing couldn't refuse and accepted it. He planned to buy some taro cakes as a return gift when he came back from the county town. The village chief's family had a good life. The bean buns were made with thin skin and large fillings. There was also some sugar in the bean paste. It was very sweet when you took a bite. It was really not worse than taro cakes!
The village chief's eldest daughter-in-law took a look through the window and swallowed hard.
Shen Qing ate one in two or three bites, put the other in his arms, and drove the mule cart back home. Miao was still cutting and weighing meat for people at the door. Shen Qing handed the bun to her and said, "Aunt Guixiang gave it to me. It saves you from cooking in the morning." There were many people buying meat, and he didn't know how long they would have to work.
"Oh, you kid, you're still thinking of me when you eat. When can't I have a bite at home?" Miao said this, but she felt very relieved. Her son Qing Ge'er has always been like this. He would always leave some for her when he got something in the mountains.
"This is the child being filial to you!" The aunts and uncles who came to buy meat looked at Shen Qing with envy. He has the ability to make money, is capable and filial, and except for his ugly appearance, what's wrong with Qing?
Filial piety is very important these days, and it is generally believed that if a person is filial to his parents, his other characteristics will not be too bad. Even if we have to feed Miao, how much can Miao eat? Besides, she is also known for her good temper.
Many people's minds became active.
Shen Qing didn't know what these people were thinking. He loaded all the firewood onto the mule cart. After not going into the city for three days, he saved four loads of firewood and packed them neatly. Shen Qing sat in the front and drove the cart slowly towards Anping County.
