"Husband, carry me over." Zhou Jiaojiao made a decision quickly.
Chu San carried her to the carriage and put her in the front seat. He held a big knife in his hand, looking like someone who was not easy to bully.
Inside the carriage.
As expected, the two siblings didn't even dare to look at Chu San.
Obviously, he was quite frightened this time.
"My benefactor, we don't have much stuff. Please keep this silver. Thank you for saving our lives." The girl stretched out her hand and handed a silver coin to Zhou Jiaojiao.
Zhou Jiaojiao looked down and saw that there were about ten taels.
But now even if you have money you can’t buy food.
Of course she wanted food, but when she looked into the carriage, she found that there was not much dry food. If she left, the brother and sister would probably not be able to get far unless they starved to death.
She had a sign-in system, so she didn't have to compete with them for the food in the carriage.
Zhou Jiaojiao collected the money and said to the system, "Sign in."
"Congratulations on signing in to the low-key carriage. You've received ten kilograms of pork, twenty kilograms of dry food, ten packages of cakes, a dilapidated cart, and half a package of hemostatic medicine."
really.
What you get by using two check-in points is much more than using one. You should know that there were only ten steamed buns at one check-in point yesterday.
Zhou Jiaojiao was already very happy when she saw the meat. She was in a good mood and looked at the two siblings and said, "Thank you very much, that's enough. Where are you going?"
She asked casually.
Unexpectedly, the brother and sister were a little nervous.
"Let's go back... back to the countryside to seek refuge."
Zhou Jiaojiao saw that the two did not want to talk more, and did not ask about other people's privacy. She let Chu San hold her and leave the carriage, saying, "You should leave quickly. It's not safe here either."
"Thank you very much." The brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief.
The girls inside saw that Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San had no intention of robbing them. After all, they were powerless now, and there were still some things in the carriage that the refugees could use.
It can be seen that the two of them are indeed of good character.
Seeing Zhou Jiaojiao being carried away by Chu San, the girl gritted her teeth and said, "My benefactor, my name is Li Yue. We'll see each other again if we're lucky."
As she spoke, she took out the jade pendant from her arms and threw it to Zhou Jiaojiao and the other person.
Chu San caught the jade pendant unhappily, thinking that the other party was going to attack his wife. Fortunately, Zhou Jiaojiao coaxed him and avoided any trouble.
Zhou Jiaojiao looked at the jade pendant, and when she looked up again, the carriage had already gone far away. She could only vaguely see the two siblings' heads sticking out and looking back.
"Keep it." Zhou Jiaojiao put the jade pendant into Chu San's arms, "It's quite valuable."
It is of no use now, but once we get to a place not affected by the disaster, the money will be useful.
"Ah, host! Merit increased!"
Just as Zhou Jiaojiao was staring at the bandit's corpse on the road and the machete dropped by the bandit, thinking about what to do, Xiao Si suddenly became excited.
Zhou Jiaojiao hummed absentmindedly.
"What?"
"My merits have increased!" Xiao Si looked even more excited than Zhou Jiaojiao herself. "Ah, I did some research. It turns out that the two sisters you saved are from the Yuzhou Tongpan family. They were carrying a secret letter reporting the severe drought in Yuzhou to the capital."
"So the reason why Yuzhou has been suffering from famine for three months and the imperial court hasn't responded is because the Yuzhou prefect has concealed the disaster."
"According to the current trend, it would have taken a year for the imperial court to learn of the news. The disaster in Yuzhou would have been even more severe, and the delay would have resulted in heavy casualties. However, after the Li siblings arrived in the capital, they broke this situation."
Zhou Jiaojiao suddenly realized what was going on. She had never expected such a pleasant surprise.
"So, the more people you save, the more merit you gain?" Zhou Jiaojiao looked at the 300 points that suddenly appeared on her sign-in panel, and felt a sense of satisfaction as if she had suddenly become rich. She had been worried that she wouldn't be able to support the Chu family, but now she felt relieved.
Xiao Si said, "That's not the case. Anyway, the merits are all calculated by heaven, and I can't say for sure. For example, this time, because of your indirect intervention, the people of Yuzhou were saved, so more people survived, and naturally the merits will be attributed to you."
"But sometimes, even if you deliberately save someone, most of the time you won't gain any merit."
Zhou Jiaojiao understood that good deeds cannot be forced, so she decided to live her life well first. For example, this time when she saved someone, she relied entirely on her intuition.
"First, take out all the things you signed in this time."
As soon as Zhou Jiaojiao finished speaking, Xiao Si took out all the prizes for signing in from the carriage.
"Sir, bury the bodies of these bandits first to prevent the spread of disease."
"Okay, lady."
Chu San quickly dug a big pit and covered all these people.
Zhou Jiaojiao looked at the several big knives on the ground, the dozen or so taels of silver that were searched from the bandits, two damaged jade pendants, two daggers with blunt cuts, knockout drugs, fire starters and other items.
Don't plan to let it go, these things can all be used.
"Husband, go look over there, there seems to be a cart." Zhou Jiaojiao called Chu San to pick up the things thrown out by the system. "By the way, bring over anything useful."
Chu San was worried about her.
Zhou Jiaojiao said that she would wait here and would definitely not run around, so Chu San went to do his work.
After a while.
He was seen pulling a cart, coming around the bend. The cart stopped in front of Zhou Jiaojiao, and Chu San said happily, "Madam, there are a lot of things over there... There's meat!"
Of course Zhou Jiaojiao knew what was on the cart, the ten kilograms of pork and twenty kilograms of dry food were particularly obvious.
She took out all the things and there was enough space on the cart to fit them all.
Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San picked up several large knives on the ground, stuffed them under the cart, and tied them up with cloth strips.
The strips of cloth were made from the clothes stripped off by the bandits.
More than thirty pounds of fern roots were also put on the cart.
Just finished cleaning.
Chu San's stomach started to growl.
Zhou Jiaojiao turned around and saw that his face was pale and beads of sweat were dripping down. She was startled and quickly reached out to grab his arm.
The result surprised Zhou Jiaojiao.
He actually felt dizzy due to anemia caused by exhaustion and extreme hunger.
"Husband, please sit down."
Zhou Jiaojiao pulled him to sit under a big tree, which provided some shade from the scorching sun.
"Come, have some dry food and cakes first."
Zhou Jiaojiao handed the kettle to his mouth and let him drink some first.
Chu San was obviously not feeling well but he didn't say anything. He just smiled foolishly at her: "My lady, drink and eat. Eat until you are full."
"You eat first." Zhou Jiaojiao rubbed his head and sighed in her heart. It was all her fault for being too careless and not noticing Chu San's physical condition.
Dry food is a kind of naan with flavored sauce inside, which is baked dry and easy to carry. It can also add a little salt. There is also white naan without salt.
Now that Zhou Jiaojiao can sign in for water, she naturally won’t be stingy in giving it to Chu San.
