Chapter 99 Those are barbarians who kill and eat flesh!
(Thanks to LiLi who loves chocolate for voting with one monthly ticket.)
With a bag of silver in his basket, Li Shiyue truly felt the sky was high and the air was crisp. He shook the basket to feel the weight of the silver, then smiled and left the government office.
After turning a corner, Li Shiyue found a restaurant and enjoyed two bowls of soup noodles. Only then did she ask the restaurant owner for directions to Niuma City.
Yes, Li Shiyue came to Sanshan County not only to collect the barbarian's head in exchange for silver, but also to carry goods for the villagers.
As for going to Niuma Market, Li Wangshui had asked Li Shiyue to help him bring back a donkey to use before he came.
Li Wangshui made a fortune from the barbarians' visit to the village. With a little more, he could buy a donkey and a secondhand cart, which would be enough for his daily needs.
Just then, Li Shiyue was thinking of buying grain, and this time he borrowed Li Wangshui's donkey cart to take it back with him.
It wasn't that Li Shiyue couldn't carry several bags of grain; it was simply more convenient to use livestock.
Other clansmen only need to carry grain and some miscellaneous household items. It's only because Li Shiyue has a good memory that he can remember so many people, with each family carrying five catties and each household carrying a handful.
However, there were more horses and mules in the cattle and horse market. Li Shiyue wandered around and inquired a bit before he learned that most of the horses and mules were retired from the army. They were not unusable, but were all in their prime and ready to be used.
The army retired, and it was said that they had disposed of a batch of horses and mules because they were short of money.
Finally, Li Shiyue picked out a horse or mule that looked pleasing to the eye, and bought a second-hand cart from someone else. Then, without stopping, he went to the grain store to buy grain.
Once all the necessary items had been purchased, the mule cart was almost full.
Li Shiyue also took the opportunity to buy a large water vat. He heard from Old Man Liu that Liujiatun was very cold in winter, and if you wanted to store water, the water vat could not be placed outside, but had to be placed in the kitchen.
The jar that Li Shiyue's family bought for the courtyard was accidentally damaged during the battle with the barbarians and broke on the spot.
Drinking water is always a big deal, so Li Shiyue bought a jar from the general store.
In the late afternoon, Li Shiyue drove the mule cart out of Sanshan County and headed back towards Qingsong Town.
By the time they arrived at Qingsong Town, it was already completely dark.
In other words, Li Shiyue had exceptional senses, and the mule was also obedient. In Qingsong Town, he replenished its food and water, and even gave the mule a meal of good fodder with fried beans. Li Shiyue then drove the mule back to Liujiatun in the dark.
She wasn't afraid on the way, it was just a bit dark.
There are no ghosts or gods in this world. If there were, no gods would descend to save people when chaos was about to break out.
There's no way there could be ghosts. Li Shiyue has already killed at least dozens of people. These people weren't even enough for Li Shiyue to kill when they were alive. Now that they're dead, what is there for Li Shiyue to be afraid of?
However, she wasn't just focused on getting there; she also thought about the recent events and the task the garbage system had given her—to rescue the male lead Liu Shu, who was trapped in the mountains, before the female lead Li Chunli could do so!
"This garbage system is issuing garbage tasks, just give it a rest."
Based on what I've seen of the original plot so far, anything involving the male and female leads is bound to be bad!
The male and female leads have protagonist auras, what about me?
Li Shiyue grabbed a sesame seed cake from the oil paper package and ate it while continuing to think about the matter: "Although I'm really envious of those 100 points and the chance to win a prize, I'll just forget about it. Let whoever wants to do this stupid task do it."
The sesame seed cakes smell amazing! They've added brown sugar, which is rare in this area—yes, they're sweet!
The man selling sesame cakes boasted to the customers, "This is brown sugar from Jiangnan, it's expensive!"
"Don't even mention Sanshan County, even in our Andong region, only my family probably has one!"
When you're thinking, you need to eat something sweet. After eating one, Li Shiyue pulled another one out of the oil paper package and ate it.
"However, based on this mission, we can confirm that the disobedient heir of the Zhenbei Wang family has somehow gotten trapped in the mountains. Could it be the Great Black Mountain?"
Upon thinking of this, Li Shiyue stopped eating her sugar-coated sesame cake. She quickly opened the "plot" section of the system in her mind: "...The original female lead, Li Chunli, accidentally discovered the original male lead, who had fainted on a hillside and was shot with an arrow..."
"Okay, okay, so this must be the place where the male and female protagonists fell in love, right?"
I'd better not join in the fun; staying away from the main characters is the right decision!
After giving up on the mission, Li Shiyue turned her attention to Li Shiyang.
An idea came to Li Shiyue in a flash.
Under the bright moonlight, Li Shiyue finally drove back to Liujiatun. Before she even reached the village entrance, she heard a familiar voice calling out, "Shiyue?"
Is it October yet?
Li Shiyue looked in the direction of the sound and saw a head emerging from the weeds by the roadside at the village entrance.
"Brother Mole, it's me!"
A clear whistle rang out, and soon after, the lights came on at Li Youfu's house, which was closest to the village entrance.
Fifteen minutes later, a crowd of people gathered in front of Li Youfu's house.
Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang also brought the two sisters, Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian, along with Li Wangming and Shitou, to greet Li Shiyue.
However, before speaking to Li's mother, Li Shiyue first took out a letter from her chest.
“Grandpa Fu, Brother Shiyang and I parted ways in Sanshan County. He said he was going to the garrison to find Mr. Chen. He asked me to give you this letter.”
Li Youfu's expression was not good, but he didn't say much in front of everyone, only nodding and accepting the letter.
Next came the joyful time of distributing the goods. Zhou Lanhua held Xiaozhuang in her arms, with Dazhuang beside her legs. She looked at the mule cart with a happy expression: "Honey, is this our mule cart?"
After Li Wangshui happily agreed, he asked Li Shiyue, "Shiyue, is the reward money enough if we add the amount given to you?"
Before Li Shiyue could reply, Li Wangshui walked over to the mule and gently stroked its head twice: "I've heard people say that mules are bigger than donkeys and are much more expensive."
Li Wangshui and Zhou Lanhua's words naturally attracted the attention of others, and everyone focused their attention on the robust mule.
Ma Zi, with his arm in a sling, stood next to Mo Zi, both of them staring intently at the horse and mule. Ma Zi leaned close to Mo Zi's ear and whispered, "If only I could have killed two of those barbarians back then!"
"That mole...it's really itching to get it. Do you think those barbarians will come back?"
Mole was shocked. He looked up at Pockmarked Man and said, "Brother Pockmarked Man, are you crazy?"
Those are barbarians who kill and eat flesh!
