With the mob behind them, leaving early does not mean they can rest easy, especially since they were delayed for some time on the road.
Prepare to continue your journey before it gets dark.
Because of the death of Uncle Yang Liu and the other two, the presence of Master Wan San was weakened and did not attract much attention in the team.
Su Yin looked at Master Wan San and said, "Now that you have been taken out of the city, you should fulfill your promise."
Master Wan San laughed and said, "Miss Su, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I just don't have that much money on me right now. But don't worry, I have businesses in other places. Yongqing County is just a separate place for us to stay when we are doing business."
"Our next stop is Nanping County."
"What a coincidence! I also have property in Nanping County. When I get to Nanping County, I will pay you as soon as possible."
"I trust you, but..." Su Yin paused, "To do business, you need a deposit or something, don't you think?"
She looked into his pocket, where was the valuable ring he had taken off his hand.
Master Wan San understood immediately, took out a gold and jade ring from his pocket and handed it to Su Yin.
"not enough."
Compared with fifty thousand taels, a ring like this is nothing.
Master Wan San took out another ring inlaid with a ruby.
Su Yin still shook her head.
Master Wan San continued to take out.
After he took out all five rings, Su Yin stopped with satisfaction.
Master Wan San looked at this black-hearted girl speechlessly.
He is really penniless now, as all his valuables were taken away by that girl.
"Mom, Fatty is going to Nanping County to seek refuge with his relatives. He will be following us for the next few days." Su Yin took out an exquisite ring and handed it to Su's mother. "This is the reward from Fatty."
Mother Su glanced at Master Wan San and nodded in agreement.
The people of Xinghua Village simply packed up their things and prepared to set off.
In fact, most people’s belongings were gone because they escaped in such a hurry that they were unable to take much with them.
There is nothing to clean up now.
Of the thirty-odd households, only ten that entered the city managed to preserve all their belongings.
There was no road in the forest, so they naturally could not continue walking in the forest. They went around the mountains surrounding Yongqing County and headed towards Nanping County.
Su Yin picked up the kettle, took a sip, and just hung it back.
Aunt Wang walked to their side holding her grandson and granddaughter's hands with a flattering smile on her face.
"Su girl, do you have any water at home? Can you give my grandchildren a drink?"
Aunt Wang’s house had been robbed by refugees before, and then they encountered bandits. Almost all the pots and pans in the house were stolen, and the earthenware jar for water had been lost long ago.
In the morning, the whole family relied on the dew to barely moisten their throats.
I sweat a lot in the afternoon sun, and my body is severely dehydrated, and my throat is extremely dry.
The adults can still bear it, but the children can't.
Aunt Wang felt sorry for the child and could only come over to ask for water with a licking face.
They also learned from Xu Niang and the others that water was in short supply in the city and that if they wanted to use water they had to pay for it.
Even if the other party doesn't give it to them, they will understand.
Aunt Wang looked embarrassed, but for the sake of her children, she had to come up and beg.
Before leaving Yongqing County, the owner of the foot shop gave them filled their bottles with water for free, so Su Yin's family was not short of water for the time being.
She glanced at the little kids who were only two or three years old. The farm children were not well fed or well clothed, and their bodies were thin, but their eyes were bright and the two little guys were looking at her eagerly.
"Aunt Wang, wait a moment."
Su Yin took out a bamboo tube from the mule cart. It was made by her cousin Yang Hua during his break. She had kept it on the cart and had never used it.
The ladle scooped a bamboo tube of water and handed it to Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang took it and thanked him hurriedly, "Thank you, thank you so much."
The two children were so thirsty that they grabbed Aunt Wang's hands with their little hands.
The two little guys took turns drinking, and after finishing, they passed the bamboo tube to Aunt Wang's mouth.
"Grandma, drink."
After thanking them again, Aunt Wang left with the two children.
As soon as they left, Su Yin caught a glimpse of a small figure from the corner of her eye. The figure was wearing tattered clothes, was skinny, and had big eyes full of desire.
When her eyes swept over, the little girl opposite noticed it and turned her head away hurriedly, not daring to look at her.
Su Yin glanced at Da Zhuang's family who were walking in front of the little girl and waved at her.
The little girl was stunned, with some confusion in her bright eyes.
The little girl left her parents quietly, and the rest of the family didn't notice.
"Sister Su." The little girl spoke timidly. Her voice was very small, as thin as a mosquito's. Her small lips had already cracked.
Su Yin scooped some water into the bamboo tube and said, "Drink it."
The little girl was stunned again, seemingly not believing it.
"Drink it quickly, don't let your parents find out."
Su Baozhu stood in front of the little girl.
The little girl's hand holding the bamboo tube was trembling a little. She drank from it in small sips, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.
Su Yin reached out and rubbed the little girl's head.
The little girl lives in such a family, she is pitiful and miserable, even if outsiders want to do something, they are powerless to do anything.
This is the Great Yong Dynasty, not Blue Star. There are no laws that restrict parents here, otherwise there would be no such thing as parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Parents can decide their children's future with just one word.
No matter whether it was food or drink, they had to do it secretly. Once her parents knew that they were treating her well, given the nature of that family, they would definitely come after them and use the little girl to get benefits.
If you don't give it, they will torture the girl in various ways to make you feel guilty and force you to compromise.
Once you compromise, you will be slapped with these dog-skin plasters by this family.
Su Yin had seen this kind of thing on Blue Star.
They won't have any reservations just because they are their own children.
The little girl finished drinking, wiped the water from the corners of her lips, and sneaked back to her mother.
Mother Su looked at the child and sighed, "It's pitiful for this child to have such parents."
If the neighbors hadn't been upset and secretly gave her some food and drink from time to time, the girl would have starved to death long ago.
Dazhuang's family went too far, but no one has the right to interfere in their affairs.
Da Zhuang woke up from the cart and shouted to his mother, "I'm thirsty."
Da Zhuang's mother hurriedly took out a bamboo tube, and he snatched it and drank it down in big gulps.
"Don't drink too much, Da Zhuang. Save some."
She reminded him anxiously, but the boy who was used to being a bully didn't listen at all. He stopped only after drinking enough and said something reproachful at the end.
"Mom, you didn't even give me a sip of water. Don't you care about your son?"
Da Zhuang's mother said quickly: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not feel sorry for you? You are my sweetheart. If I don't feel sorry for you, who else would I feel sorry for?"
Daya walked behind, watching the interaction between her mother and brother with envy in her eyes, but that envy was quickly wiped out by reality and eventually turned into dead air.
