Chapter 105 Seeking Shelter



"There is a well in Anping County that is hundreds of years old. There is a spring in this well that has never dried up. Even in such a drought today, there is still spring water constantly bubbling up. However, the magistrate of Anping County has firmly controlled this well, and only the adults and merchants in the city are qualified to use it."

"The reason I know about this is because one of my playmates is a servant in the county magistrate's mansion. The reason I came out was because I wanted to steal water, but after being discovered, I had no choice but to do this."

"I was forced into this. If I could be a good person, why would I do this? I also want to be a good person, but in this cannibalistic world, good people die quickly. I want to live, so I became a bad person."

"I know I have sinned deeply, but those corrupt officials, the high officials of the court, and the emperor who is high above all others, they deserve to die even more."

The last sentence carried endless anger towards the world and the Yong Dynasty.

He threw himself forward and bumped into the knife, and the sharp knife pierced his heart.

The bandit leader died, his death was not a pity, but the last words he said were not wrong.

Yang Dashan said, "Look around to see if there is anything valuable here."

Su Yin pointed to a thatched house and said, "There are a lot of medicinal herbs in that house. You can take them with you."

Shopkeeper Li spoke at the right time, "Miss, the herbs in that room are all mine. Don't get me wrong, I don't want them back."

Su Yin waved her hand nonchalantly, "I saw it at the time and was surprised. These people prepared such a complete range of medicinal materials. It turned out that they belonged to Shopkeeper Li."

"Well, come to think of it, I really want to thank you."

Shopkeeper Li began to complain bitterly.

"After you left my shop that day, I thought about what you said and told my wife about it. My wife thought I wanted to go out for a walk, so she decided to go to my mother-in-law's house with her family. The three of us, along with two servants, set out from Dongtu County to Nanping County, and soon discovered something was wrong."

"I happened to meet some of my business friends, and learned about Yuzhou from them. Yuzhou is adjacent to Dongtu County, and I'm afraid it has become a living hell."

"If I hadn't listened to you, our family of three would have been gone long ago."

"When we first arrived in Nanping County, we didn't find Yue's family. Their entire village had moved away. We couldn't go back to Dongtu County, so we planned to go all the way south, both to escape and to find my father-in-law's family."

"But I didn't expect that I would be kidnapped by this group of people just after I got here. Fortunately, I am a doctor and can be of some use to them, otherwise I really can't protect my wife and children."

"If you don't come, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect them soon."

"Thank goodness you're here."

"All in all, you saved our family of three twice."

As Shopkeeper Li said this, he pulled his wife and son to kowtow to Su Yin.

Su Yin hurriedly helped the man up, "Manager Li, you are too polite."

In fact, this is all unintentional.

The first time it was their own decision that saved themselves.

Rescuing them the second time was incidental.

The feeling of being a lifesaver can only be considered half and half.

Half an incense stick later, several people came back and found very little.

"That's all?"

The few people who had seen big scenes now looked at the dozen or so taels of silver that they had searched out and felt a little "disdainful".

"There's not much silver, but there are some cloth and medicinal herbs that are worth some money."

"Could it be that they have something hidden somewhere deep down?" Yang Shuilian asked.

Shopkeeper Li said, "They are very poor, so poor that you can't find any food, so they can only do such things. If they were really that rich, they wouldn't have taken that path."

That's exactly the truth.

"Let's leave now."

Su Yin looked at the valley. If it were placed in the modern times, it would be a popular tourist destination and a perfect place for seclusion. It was a pity that there was no water source.

The little bit of water in the cave can't last long, let alone provide drinking water for many people.

Su Yin and his group took their belongings and the few people they rescued and left.

After leaving the cave, Su Yin asked people to work together to block the entrance and then cover it with vines again.

At the same time, the Zhou family was very worried and looked back from time to time.

The Zhang family, Nan Wu and others were also worried. Since someone from their family had gone there, they were naturally worried.

Su's mother and Su Baozhu looked back from time to time. Every minute and every second was extremely painful for these people.

Su Baozhu had good eyesight and was the first to notice Su Yin and her group approaching.

“They are back.”

When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and looked behind them, and saw a huge group of people coming back.

They all stopped and waited, and when they got closer, they naturally noticed Shopkeeper Li and his family of three and the four women.

There was an unpleasant smell coming from all seven of them, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.

The smell was really overpowering.

Su Yin looked at the few people and said, "I will take you to Anping County. Once we get there, you can leave on your own. Or you can leave now if you want."

She couldn't take them all.

First, there is not enough food, and second, there is not enough water for people to use.

They now have one more horse in their herd, and one more horse consumes a lot more water.

This is also one of the reasons why she didn't dare to leave all ten horses behind.

Manager Li began to promote himself, "Miss Su, although I have no property, I am a doctor and I can treat illnesses. If anyone in the team has a headache or fever, I can solve it. I only ask you to shelter us for a while, and we will leave when we find a place to stay."

Li's wife, Yu Niang, also said, "We won't eat too much."

As for Shopkeeper Li and his family, Su Yin wanted to keep them.

First, they really need a doctor in their team.

Second, Shopkeeper Li had been to many places, which would be very helpful for the subsequent journey.

These two points are what their team lacks the most.

The four women saw this and began to plead, "Miss Su, please accept us as well. We have no relatives left, and we don't know where to make a living."

In today's world, it would be very difficult for four women to survive. I am afraid that as soon as they leave their team, they will be kidnapped or killed.

However, Su Yin's place is not a charity, and she cannot be a good person.

Being a good person requires money and food, and she has neither.

Seeing that Su Yin didn't say anything, the four of them knelt down and kowtowed to her.

"Please give us a chance to live."

Su Yin subconsciously looked at Nan Jingzhi.

In fact, it is better to ask Nan Jingzhi than to ask her.

Nan Jingzhi received her signal, turned around and ran away.

Wow, what a realistic man!
