Chapter 29: Scandal

Because the government could not find out the cause of death of the caravan, and because of the scandal of Gan Fanren, the case was not investigated.

It was just lightly covered up.

Because of the death, there were fewer guests in the inn.

The shopkeeper looked at the deserted inn and sighed.

Fortunately, he was the owner of the inn and earned money from outsiders, otherwise, with so many people dead, he might not be able to do business.

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to tolerate Gan Fanren's murder for some food.

But from the moment he reached a cooperation with Gan Fanren and left the inn, he and Gan Fanren were grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

Those guests went to other inns.

This inn became empty.

The old lady suddenly felt uneasy.

"There are so few people in this inn, even if a thief breaks in, we won't know. I have to hide the silver."

The old lady held the silver that Li Zhi gave her the day before, and was so excited that she didn't know where to put it.

"This is the first time I've seen so much silver. Where should I put it?"

Thinking of the situation when she encountered the bandits that day.

The old lady had an idea.

"How about I wrap this silver in my hair?"

Hui Niang looked at the old lady's hair. The gray hair looked dry and had no nutrition. It was indeed possible to hide some silver if it was wrapped with a piece of rag with some patterns.

But fifty taels of silver...

Let's not talk about whether the piece of cloth can hold it. Just holding it on the head may make people sick.

"We have to pass through many places along the way. It's not safe to put the silver anywhere.

I think we should find someone to make two dressing cases, put compartments in the cabinets, and put the silver in the compartments."

"This method is good, but not good enough. How much silver can a dressing case hold? I think we should make two large cabinets so that we can hold more."

"I think so. I'll find someone to make the cabinets later."

Anyway, we can't leave Tongmen Pass for a while, so we might as well take a good rest and prepare more supplies.

Now there are more people, and one pot is not enough. We should buy another pot, more bowls and chopsticks, and the cart should be replaced with a more comfortable carriage.

No, no.

The carriage is too ostentatious. It's better to have it like this now.

Hui Niang planned in her mind, hid part of the money, and only took ten taels of silver to go to the street.

Considering that the city is now in chaos, Hui Niang grabbed a handful of dirt and deliberately smeared it on the faces of the family.

From the old to the young, even Gan Tian was not spared.

The originally clean, fair and tender little girl has now become black.

Gan Fanren's face has the most dust. As long as the exposed part is covered with a layer of black dust by Hui Niang.

Gan Fanren looks like he came from an African tribe, dark.

His appearance value is declining in a straight line!

[A white face hides a hundred ugliness, this sentence is indeed true, but my father is really handsome, even if he turns black, he is still good-looking. ]

Hui Niang paused while smearing the dust.

Gan Fanren had a bad feeling in his heart.

How come the little cotton-padded jacket was leaking?

Hui Niang hurriedly found some paint and painted a large red spot on Gan Fanren's face and put a big black mole on Gan Fanren's nose.

She examined it for a long time before nodding with satisfaction.

"It's much safer this way."

This was just a preliminary disguise and it was far from over.

Hui Niang dressed Gan Fanren in old man's clothes and even made the clothes covered with dust.

Gan Fanren glanced in the mirror.

He looked like an ugly old man in the mirror.

He hunched his back, and the old man in the mirror also hunched his back, like a curled-up shrimp.

[When boys grow up, they should not dress like children anymore. 】

【Tsk tsk, my dad is so mature now. 】

Thank you, he is more mature than usual now.

He is so mature that he himself finds it scary. He

had bathed yesterday, but when Gan Fanren looked in the mirror, he felt that he already smelled.

Gan Tian curled up in his mother's arms, staring at his father with round eyes, and found his father's appearance very novel.

In the past, the Gan family would always attract a lot of attention when they went out on the street because of their amazing looks.

Now, more people are paying attention to them.

A child threw a stone at them.

"Get out of here, you ugly freak."

"Why don't you just die if you are so ugly."

The Gan family was stunned. They used to be praised wherever they went, but this was the first time they were called ugly.

Gan Huaizhong frowned: "The book only says to stay close to gentlemen and stay away from villains, but it never says to stay away from ugly people. Why are people so hostile to us?"

[Alas, appearance discrimination has existed since ancient times. Appearance is innate and not determined by people. Even if people can control their appearance, not everyone is an art master who can create a beautiful appearance. It is wrong to judge people by appearance.]

Even when being held in the arms of her beautiful mother, Gan Tian's body was inevitably splashed with some dust.

Gan Fanren said sarcastically: "The book says to stay away from villains, but in reality, you should stay away from stupid people."

"What's wrong with me, brother, why do you stay away from me?" Li Zhi touched his head aggrievedly. He knew he was stupid, but he didn't want to.

Gan Fanren: "..."

He couldn't tell whether Li Zhi was smart or stupid.

But Li Zhi's advantage is obvious. He knows that he is not smart enough, so he will rely on a smart person and not act on his own.

Of course, this also has a disadvantage. If the person he meets is a good person, it's fine. If not, he will probably end up in pieces.

"You are not stupid."

"The one who just judged people by appearance, who claimed to be noble and stood on a high place looking down on us and judging us is a fool."

"Only by staying away from fools can you live a good life."

Li Zhi's eyes were moist, and he hugged Gan Fanren with emotion .

"Brother, you are really my good brother. This is the first time I hear someone praise me like this."

He was very strong and tall, and he hugged Gan Fanren like a chick.

Gan Fanren's feet were in the air, and his whole body was numb.

Hui Niang was already sensitive, and when she saw Li Zhi's behavior, she shouted hurriedly.

"Talk, don't hit."

Gan Tian was already confused, she opened her mouth and thought secretly in her heart.

[For the first time, I know that saying that someone is not stupid is actually a compliment.

Gan Fanren also realized for the first time that saying someone is not stupid is actually a compliment. What

on earth did this kid Li Zhi go through before? How could he be so easy to deceive and bribe?

Li Zhi put Gan Fanren down embarrassedly.

A child's crying sound came from the side: "Wuwuwu...Mom, they are so scary, could they be monsters?"

"Why haven't I seen these people before?"

"It must be because they are too hungry, so they come out to eat children."

"Wuwuwu, don't eat me, I'm not delicious. I wet the bed this morning. My mother said I'm the stinkiest."

"I stink too. I pooped in my pants last night. I'm pickled and smelly."

"I haven't taken a shower for a month."

"Hey, you haven't taken a shower for a month, you're so disgusting."

"You're so old and still poop in your pants, you're disgusting."
