"Did you notice any stranger coming?" The man who came in was dressed in tight clothes and had a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
Curly and Black-faced looked at each other and said, "Sir, we don't see any strangers. Little Jiji is sick, and I'm busy taking care of him."
"A team of officers came to check ahead. They told us to report to them if we found an old man with two small children or a half-dead person."
"There is a reward." The little beggar next to him took over the conversation.
The man in the tights knew his companions had come to check. He glanced around with a stern look. "If you see any strangers, go to the large courtyard east of town and let us know."
Blackface smiled obsequiously, "Got it. Let's all go to town tomorrow to look for strangers."
A chubby guy walked over to the medicine jar, opened the lid and smelled it. "What smells so bad?" He stood up and kicked the medicine jar over, pointing at little Jiji and mockingly said:
"If you eat the soup made from these wild herbs, you will definitely die tomorrow."
Little Jiji pouted in grievance and huddled tightly in Curly's arms.
It was quiet here only after those people left.
Su Qi, Gu Beiheng and their group came to the outside of Yunzhou City, where they secretly inquired about the news of Dabao and others.
I heard that the owner of Yingji Tea House is the Ban family from Yunzhou City. The feud between the Ban family and them is irreconcilable.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi plan to enter Yunzhou City.
They were determined to disrupt Yunzhou City, and since someone had come to them, they avenged Mr. Ke.
"Beiheng. Shall we enter Yunzhou City now?" Su Qi looked at the people coming and going outside Yunzhou City and felt anxious.
I can’t wait to find Dabao and Erbao right now.
"Well. Let's go into the city now." Gu Beiheng turned and looked at Zhou the Hunter and the others. "You can stay here or go back. Here's some silver. Divide it among you."
Gu Beiheng took off the cloth bag from his belt and handed it to Zhou the Hunter.
Hunter Zhou took the bag and knew it contained a lot of silver, and it looked like there were even banknotes. "Master Gu, this is too much. We want to go back and hunt and bring it back to Yunzhou City to sell."
Ultimately, hunters still want to make money by their own abilities.
"Well, keep it for a rainy day. This is the silver you deserve, and it also contains some remedies and other medicines.
Wrap it in paper and write down its use and prescription. You are so poor there, so if you can, you should just farm."
"Hunting is not a long-term thing. When you get older, there will always be a time when you can no longer catch wild animals." Su Qi also said.
"The land is barren and the crops we grow are not enough to pay the taxes." Hunter Zhou said with a wry smile, touching the bow and arrow on his back.
Su Qi thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you an address. You can go to a Gu's grain store based on this address to buy grain seeds. When you get there, take the note I gave you. They'll sell you more."
There is a fixed limit on the buying and selling of grain seeds.
Su Qi doesn't give others the opportunity to stock up.
Farmers also have a fixed planting quota, but this place is too far away. It is not easy for ordinary people to travel such a long distance over mountains and rivers, and Zhou the Hunter and his men are very upright.
We can ask them to bring some here to sell.
"Going so far to buy grain seeds? Every spring and autumn planting season, the county government also sells some high-yield seeds. Our village is in the mountains, so we are not eligible to buy seeds from the county government."
"It's several times higher than the grain seed yield of your county government."
Hunter Zhou and his companions looked at each other in surprise. There was such a high yield of grain.
Of course, it’s time to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land. Who would still put their head on the belt?
"Thank you, Madam Gu."
Su Qi wrote the address to them and wrote a few words at the end.
Su Qi's handwriting is difficult for ordinary people to imitate, and there are special characters that only people at Gu's Grain Shop can understand.
Zhou the Hunter and his companions thanked him repeatedly and left.
Gu Beiheng looked at the gate of Yunzhou City not far away. He turned and said to Ying Yi and the others, "Let's go separately. Qiqi, Bai Zhi, Ying Si and I will go together. You should also go in batches."
"Yes. I obey your command." Ying Yi and others were carrying specially made bags.
It's full of emergency necessities.
Then they dispersed.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi had dinner in the nearby town first, and Ying Si went there to buy a carriage.
Bai Zhi saw a little beggar staring at them and licking his lips, and waved at him:
"Come here, little one."
The little beggar ran over and looked at Baizhi with expectant eyes.
"Miss Fairy, I'm hungry. There are many hungry beggars in our dilapidated temple. Can you be kind enough to give us a bite to eat?"
When Su Qi saw the little beggar, it was as if she saw Dabao and Erbao.
He sighed and said:
"Baizhi, go to the street and buy some steamed buns. Buy more."
The beggar's eyes widened as he heard this, and he couldn't stop drooling. "Thank you, ma'am, thank you, sir. Ma'am and sir are both very rich and powerful."
Su Qi waved her hand.
"Madam, you are so kind, unlike those kind people in Yunzhou City who ignore us." The little beggar's bright eyes never left Su Qi.
Su Qi took off the purse from her waist, which contained some small change and a banknote.
The silver note was not big, with a face value of only ten taels of silver.
He took out several dozen large coins and put them into his purse, then waved to the little beggar to let him pass.
While the little beggar was kneeling and kowtowing, he stuffed the purse into his clothes and whispered, "Give this to your head, and ask him to buy you some rice and flour."
Su Qi took out a bag of fruit candies from her bag. Dabao and Erbao had peeled off the wrappers of the fruit candies before and wrapped them in oil paper.
Holding half a bag of candy, Su Qi saw Dabao and Erbao grinning with triumph on their faces.
"This is for you too."
The little beggar took it and knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to Su Qi and Gu Beiheng.
When he stood up, he saw Curly and Blackface passing by, so he hurried forward and called Curly and Blackface over.
Gu Beiheng stopped them from coming over.
The little beggar had little ability to protect himself, and if he made such a big move it would arouse speculation from others.
By then, I won’t be able to keep that little bit of silver.
Bai Zhi bought a whole basket of steamed buns and dumplings. She heard that there were many beggars, so she bought up all the buns and dumplings in the bun shop.
The store owner now regrets that he should have done more.
Bai Zhi gave the basket of steamed buns to Juanmao and patted the little beggar's head, "Go back quickly."
"Thank you." Black Face was a little at a loss.
"Go back early, or you won't be able to keep these buns."
Curly quickly took off his clothes and covered the basket with them, then picked up the little beggar and placed him on the frame. He and Black Face carried the basket away.
Bai Zhi watched them leave before returning to the shop and quickly eating noodles with Su Qi and Gu Beiheng. Ying Si drove over in a carriage, and Bai Zhi glanced at the street. "Madam, Ying Si is back."
"Let's go." Gu Beiheng went to pay the bill.
The three of them got on the carriage and drove towards Yunzhou City.
The dilapidated temple is very lively.
Curly shouted loudly, "We met a noble man today, who bought us steamed buns."
The little beggar jumped down from the frame. "There's also candy."
He ran to Dabao and Erbao first and gave them a piece of candy each. "It's all because of you that we got good luck. Little Jiji's illness is cured. We can even beg for food today."
Dabao was startled when he took the candy and quickly opened the oil paper. Inside was an orange candy in the shape of an orange segment.
"It's mother, it's mother and father who are here to see us."
Erbao also opened the oil paper in his hand and shouted, "It's really Mom who came to see us."
The little beggar curled his lips and snorted, "Dabao and Erbao, I also hope she is my mother."
"Brother Wuming, it's really mom and dad who are here." Seeing that everyone was looking at them with contempt, Dabao quickly raised the orange candy in his hand to show Zeng Wuming.
Zeng Wuming rushed over with a quick step.
After taking a closer look at Tang Guo, he turned his head and asked, "Didn't you meet a very young couple? The lady was very beautiful in her purple dress, and the master looked very majestic. Dabao looks a bit like him."
