Chapter 471 Tuoyanfang
Tian Qi led the way in front and walked half of the way in silence. Perhaps he felt that it was inappropriate to remain silent for half of the way, so Tian Qi took the initiative to introduce the situation of Yunzhong City.
"Madam, have you heard about the situation in Yunzhong City before you came here?"
Su Chenyu did not speak, and Yinxing replied: "I heard that pirates often invade here, but along the way, the situation in Yunzhong City does not seem to be that bad."
Tian Qi sighed: "Any family with some financial resources will hire someone to look after their home. Those pirates are not fools, they will not cause trouble for them. In the end, it is us ordinary people who will suffer."
“Don’t local officials care about this?”
"We tried to stop them several times before, but they were always beaten back by the pirates. We reported this to the court, but no one came to help. Since then, every time the pirates came, we had to hide and take away the money we could. Anything we couldn't take away was taken away by the pirates."
When Tian Qi said these words, his tone was full of resentment, "People died, but the officials didn't care. I heard that the southwest area across the island sea was also persecuted by pirates, but the officials there protected the people, so it's not as chaotic as here? You three women, why did you come here by yourselves? What if you run into pirates here, what will you do?"
Ginkgo replied: "People have to survive, but who is willing to take risks?"
Tian Qi knew that some wealthy families had serious internal struggles, and this lady must have been forced to come here: "This Yanfang was only opened in Yunzhong City a few months ago. I heard that the rouge and powder are good and the business is booming."
Wutong looked at the wind chimes hanging on the doors of every household. When the wind blew, the clear sound of the wind chimes could be heard. He was a little surprised: "Why do every household have wind chimes hanging on their doors? Don't you think it's noisy?"
Tian Qi explained: "Isn't the Sea Festival coming soon? Hanging wind chimes under the eaves is the custom of the Sea Festival."
The sea sacrifice is to commemorate the fishermen who died in the sea.
"I heard from the old people that the sound of wind chimes will guide the dead souls at sea back home. It's just a wish. Everyone hopes that their loved ones who died at sea can rest in peace."
As he spoke, Tian Qi stopped and said, "The front is the Tuyanfang."
Seeing the sign of Tuyanfang, Su Chenyu knew that they had arrived at the place and signaled Yinxing to give the silver to Tianqi. Tianqi took the silver ingot and was a little surprised. He didn't dare to accept it: "This is too much. I can't accept it."
"You smell strongly of medicine. Someone in your family must be ill. You must be in urgent need of money. Keep it. This is what you should take." Su Chenyu, who had been silent all the way, spoke at this time.
Tian Qi looked at Su Chenyu gratefully. He knew that he felt guilty for taking the silver ingot, but thinking of his sister's situation, he had no better choice: "Madam, although I am not a porter and my ability is meager, if you need me to do anything in the future, I will do my best."
Just as he finished speaking, a woman suddenly rushed to the front of Yanfang and burst into tears, attracting all the people around to come over.
"Come and have a look, the beauty cream that this beauty shop sold me is poisonous. After I used it, my face became like this. If you don't give me an excuse today, I will stay here and not leave..."
Su Chenyu and the other two walked over, and Tian Qi hurriedly followed. When he saw the woman crying in the crowd, he couldn't help but frowned: "Isn't this Cao Erniang?"
"Do you know this person?" Su Chenyu asked.
