Chapter 27 Arrival at Anyang City
"Silly. Second uncle and younger uncle are not only good people but also capable people. All our food, clothing and daily necessities were earned by the two uncles running the shop. This time we have implicated them. I will keep an eye on the family from now on. It's our parents who are worried about us..."
Listening to his eldest brother's words, Ouyang Mingyan muttered, "My younger sister is also a worry. She always stirs up trouble in front of Grandma."
"Yes, we also have a troublesome younger sister, and our parents and grandparents dote on us, so we can't let them take advantage of us both."
"Brother, three thousand miles! I've been walking like this for two days, and my feet are all blistered and in so much pain. What should I do for the rest of my life..."
"Don't think about it. You think you're the only one in pain, but have you ever thought about how nine-year-old Ming Tao and Shi Er, and eight-year-old Ming Li are feeling? Ming Yan, we should all learn to grow up..."
As soon as Ouyang Mingqing said this, Ming Yan next to him suddenly turned his head to look at his younger brothers and sisters not far away.
Especially when he saw the three small figures his elder brother mentioned, Ouyang Mingyan felt a pang of pain in his heart, and then thought to himself: Yes, I, a fifteen-year-old, felt the pain, and they were only eight or nine years old, how could they be less painful than me?
No!
They would only feel more pain than I do. Fortunately, that delicate and soft four-year-old Luo'er doesn't need to walk, otherwise I don't know how much pain she would be in now...
He sighed, then looked at his older brother who was using a stone to smash the thorn ball to remove the chestnuts inside. He then turned his head to look at the five people sitting nearby to rest, and a trace of pain spread in his heart...
Without even glancing over there, Ouyang Mingyan also picked up a small stone and hit the thorn ball, then carefully took out the chestnuts inside...
It was not known whether it was due to a guilty conscience or because she felt sorry for her two grandchildren, but Old Madam Ouyang spoke up: "Jiang, how dare you just sit here and rest? Can't you see my two grandchildren are peeling chestnuts? Hurry over and help them peel them, or you won't be able to eat them later."
Just as Jiang opened her mouth to speak, she saw Ouyang Hui looking at her with a stern face. She swallowed the words she was about to say, lowered her head and walked to her two sons, and started picking chestnuts together.
Also digging out chestnuts were the second and third wives and Meng Yi and a few others. Each of them used a knife, a dagger or a stone to dig out the chestnuts in various ways.
They had brought back almost all the thorn balls from the two chestnut trees, and were now busy with their work.
Since Ouyang Feiluo was only four years old, everyone was afraid that she would hurt her hands, so she was only allowed to watch from the side and not to do anything.
Little Philo nodded in response, then sat next to her mother and watched, but was actually busy in the system.
Fish were put on the shelves one after another, and before she could react after seeing the introduction, they were sold out instantly.
Go up again, and take another second.
No more, onto the Thorn Balls. I placed about a pound of Thorn Balls in each grid, then looked at the description. It said they were unshelled wild chestnuts, 30 system coins.
Looking at the price, Ouyang Feiluo laughed. Haha, this is a business opportunity. I will look for it and sell it later. Hehe...
I thought that few people would buy this unshelled version, but I didn't expect that quite a few people would buy it. It was only a short while after it was put up that two copies were sold. Not bad.
After replenishing the stock again, Ouyang Feiluo's mind exited the system, and then he leaned against Xu and fell asleep.
Afterwards, Ouyang Feiluo felt someone picking her up while she was in a daze. She wanted to open her eyes to see who it was, but she was too sleepy and fell asleep.
When I woke up, I found that I was already on the road, and my mother Xu was holding me in her arms. She called out softly, "Mother."
"woke up"
"Yes. Mother, Luo'er, come down and walk by yourself." Ouyang Feiluo started to move after saying that.
"Be good, let mother hold you. When mother is tired, Luo'er can come down and walk."
"Mother..."
Seeing her daughter's sensible appearance, Xu said softly: "You are still injured, forget it."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ouyang Feiluo stopped struggling completely.
At this moment, she deeply understood what a sister once said: There is a kind of pain that makes your mother feel your pain.
If this is said now, it means that no matter what she is like now, if her mother says she is injured, then she is injured, and her mother has the final say on how serious the injury is.
After walking and stopping for almost ten days, they arrived outside Anyang City.
Meng Yi and his companions were going into the city to buy food. After all, the amount of food for so many people was not a small amount, so five or six people were arranged to go into the city, including Meng Yi and Xiao Qi, and the other four were officers and soldiers.
When Meng Yi and his companions were about to leave, brothers Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin came up to Meng Yi and said, "Young General Meng, we also want to go into the city to prepare some things. After all, the journey is long, and we don't know when we will be able to go into the city again."
Meng Yi and Xiao Qi went to the side to discuss it for a while, then came over and said to the two of them, "Alright. Two people will go to Second Master's house, and one person will go to Third Master's house. Let's leave now. Come quickly and let's go together."
Hearing that they could go, the two brothers nodded hurriedly and said, "Oh, okay, thank you, General Meng, thank you."
Watching the two leave, Meng Yi set his sights on Ouyang Hong and Ouyang Hui. "Master Ouyang, if you want to go to Anyang City to buy some things, then let the two young masters go with us. If you don't need them, you can rest here."
Hearing about going to Anyang City, Ouyang Hong quickly said, "Go. Mingqing and Mingyan, follow General Meng and the others into Anyang City. Buy two backpacks, and then two pairs of shoes each. Then, buy mattresses, clothes, and food. Remember to buy daggers and pots and pans..."
After listening to his grandfather's long and rambling speech, Ouyang Mingqing bowed and replied, "Yes, Grandfather, but I only have twenty taels of silver on me, which is not enough to buy so many things."
Hearing this, Ouyang Hong quickly turned his gaze to his wife: "Give Mingqing money, otherwise how can he buy us food quickly."
Old Madam Ouyang also knew this, so she quickly took out a roll of silver bills from her belt.
But before she could open it, Ouyang Hong took it and handed it to Ouyang Mingqing: "Here, remember to buy some cakes for your grandmother. If there's still time, buy her a roast chicken. Hurry, they're waiting for you."
It was the first time that Ouyang Mingqing saw his grandfather snatch money from his grandmother. He was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he quickly came to his senses after hearing his grandfather's words.
Taking the roll of banknotes with both hands, Ouyang Mingqing took his brother and quickly walked towards Meng Yi and the others.
This time, the people from the second house went into the city with Xu, who was holding her daughter, and her eldest son Ouyang Minglou, and the person from the third house went with Ouyang Qin.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Meng Yi shouted, "Let's go," and then the group quickly headed towards Anyang City, two miles away.
Originally, it was said that only two people from the second house would go, but Ouyang Feiluo wanted to take the opportunity to store some supplies and then trade them, so she insisted on asking her mother to carry her along.
I don’t know if it was because she was small and had no sense of presence, or because we were too anxious to notice her, but Meng Yi and the others only noticed this little girl when they were paying the entrance fee at the gate of Anyang City.
Fortunately, she was still a little girl and did not have to pay the city entrance fee, but Meng Yi still asked Xu to take good care of the little girl.
