Chapter 17 Making money is the real thing
Their eyes met, and the next second, they looked away, as if they had never looked at each other before.
The other party nodded at him across the crowd. Xie Yuchuan lowered his eyes and nodded slightly. The figure then turned around and quietly disappeared into the crowd.
Xie Wuying behind him had not yet noticed the subtle changes in his sixth brother. He still followed Xie Yuchuan's instructions and asked Xie Wenjie and others to be alert. There were so many people around and it was hard to say what might happen.
The officers and soldiers were divided into two teams to escort the exiles on the left and right. Xiong Jiushan and two deputies were in the front to support them. If they encountered someone who did not know the rules and tried to approach, they would give a warning and the second warning might be the sound of a whip.
After a while, no one dared to move forward.
During the Daliang Dynasty, exiled criminals were generally sent to three places: Cangdao in the southeast, Liaozhou in the north, and Xinling in the southwest.
The journey from Beijing varies from about 2,000 to 4,000 miles. The three places of exile have their own characteristics, but the only thing they have in common is that they are sparsely populated, remote and desolate, and the living conditions are extremely difficult.
The imperial court usually chose early spring or late autumn as the time for exile so as not to interfere with farming and state affairs.
There has always been an unwritten custom in the Daliang Dynasty. Criminals from the north like to be exiled to the south, and southerners are driven to the north. The main purpose is to make them suffer even more and torture them twice as much if they are not adapted to the living habits, so as to serve as a warning to others.
Most of the southerners in the team have no clear understanding of how harsh and cold the north is, or what life-threatening difficulties they will encounter on the road. They just feel that the journey is too hard and they don’t know whether they will survive and reach their destination.
Songjiang Town is a must-pass place when going north to Laozhou.
The people in the city have become accustomed to the fact that from time to time, officials escorting fugitives pass by.
But usually they only escorted one or two people, or ten or eight people. When passing through the city, they were not in a hurry to continue their journey and could even stay and rest in the city.
However, this exile group of more than a hundred people was relatively rare, so many people came out to watch the excitement after hearing the news.
On both sides of Laiyun Street, many people stopped to look in the main alleys, especially those who knew about the strange story of the Xie family in the exile team. They looked around and asked people around them where the people from the Xie family were.
There is a big difference between watching a fun scene and staring at someone.
Xie Yuchuan glanced around, lowered his head and hummed softly.
What is coming will eventually come, and he also thought that maybe those people’s patience is not that bad.
Facts told him that he still overestimated them.
Even the small town of Songjiang doesn't want the Xie family to live a good life.
The team moved forward at a steady pace. The women in front had been walking for a whole day and were now exhausted. The male prisoners behind were not much better off. They were listless and struggling to drag themselves along.
The fugitives who had just left the capital looked pitiful in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the experienced shopkeepers in Songjiang Town, it was hard to say who was more pitiful.
Some shopkeepers were quick-witted and approached the officer to try to get close to him, promoting the advantages of their own business. The innkeeper, who was always good at networking, took his shop assistants and scooped up some water to bring warmth to the officer.
There are more than a hundred people, and there must be some wealthy people among them. If they have some valuables in their hands, it can be equivalent to the income of a small business for most of the year. If they can take care of the officials, I wonder if they can make more money.
It is so heartbreaking for a businessman to watch a good deal slip away.
"Would you like to stay overnight in my inn before you continue? The city is quite a long way from the post station, and it's been cold lately. Why don't you stay for a while? I'll give you some good food and wine, and I'll even boil some hot water for you to warm up."
They rushed forward one after another, their eyes red with anger as they looked at the dejected prisoners.
Before these people leave Qiuling Pass, we should make as many money as possible. Otherwise, once they leave the pass and no one is watching them, the escorting officers and soldiers will not be merciful.
Although they knew that the hope was slim, the merchants did not want to give up. They had to travel thousands of miles to the north, so shouldn’t they prepare something before leaving the country?
Making money is the serious matter!
Tu Huan thinks so too!
The question is, how to get the money?
After the system upgrade, all functions require paid real money to use, except for the three free roulette draws per day and the 99% chance of thank you for your patronage. Tu Huan just pretends that this thing doesn't exist.
Then, the only thing left is krypton gold.
Her pockets are cleaner than her face. Does she use her face to roll on the keyboard to earn money?
There has been no news from Xie Yuchuan on the phone. I guess nothing is wrong with him for the time being. From Xie Yuchuan's tone, it seems that he can handle it.
Tu Huan leaned cross-legged on the sofa, thinking about how to make some big money.
It’s not easy to make money nowadays.
Just for feeding Xie Yuchuan such a small amount of food, the dog system deducted 60,000 yuan from her!
The fee for feeding isn't high. The initial deduction is too high because you're forcing yourself to use advanced features, such as top-level security systems and fixed-point rainfall, at a lower version level.
Tu Huan: "Can you untie me?"
【cannot! 】
Tu Huan knew it was impossible, so she just asked casually without any hope.
She pulled out the deduction list and looked at it.
As expected! The so-called big money was all due to the "appearance" of the household gods, averaging 20,000 to 30,000 yuan each!
Whether she can still be a powerful household god in the future is not up to her; the wallet is the real boss.
"I can't just spend money to protect others without benefiting myself, right?"
Tu Huan rummaged through the system, checking out the various functions after the upgrade, trying to have a clear idea of what was going on so that she wouldn't feel bad about spending money while pretending to be a god.
It's no wonder, after flipping through the pages for a while, she actually found a page of interesting stuff.
[System Mall - Host Exclusive - Reward Products]
There are four rows in total. The top three rows are all black and locked, and only the bottom row has three products lit up:
Eat dry food without gaining weight (100 points)
Poison-Proof Pill (500 points)
Main plane universal currency ￥5 million (1000 points)
Tu Huan's eyes were glued to the third option...
She suddenly had a new idea for making money, but she didn't know if it would work.
Suddenly, my mood became brighter like sunshine after rain, and I felt very happy!
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Xie Yuchuan:
"Tu Huan: Are you still going to camp in the wild tonight?"
In this season, sleeping outside every day is too harmful to the body. She thought about recharging her account to buy them some emergency items.
After a few seconds, Xie Yuchuan replied.
"Xie Yuchuan: If nothing unexpected happens tonight, we'll probably be camping outdoors."
If something unexpected happens, I don’t know where I’ll stay tonight.
Tu Huan wanted to ask him what he needed, but Xie Yuchuan sent another message.
"Xie Yuchuan: Yuheng, excuse me for asking what offerings would you like to the household gods?"
"Xie Yuchuan: I just happened to be passing through this town. I was previously powerless in the Imperial Prison, but now I have a chance and want to repay the family deity for saving my life."
Tu Huan: “…”
It feels a little bit special.
She couldn't explain it, but when she saw the word "offering", a magical power inexplicably surged in her heart.
She is the household god.
In Xie Yuchuan's heart, she is... God.
Xie Yuchuan walked more than ten steps but did not hear the answer from the family god.
I felt uneasy for a moment.
Was his question too offensive?
When he felt a little regretful, the gentle voice of the family god sounded in his ears again:
"Whatever suits you best."
