"Gold, silver, jewels, salt, rice, silks, furs, and all kinds of seeds... Oh my, I'm rich, rich. I have to give something, otherwise I'll take root and ask questions all over again."
Wang Yi muttered to himself, took out a package, and selected the goods from the space.
These goods belonged to the Baiqing Chamber of Commerce. First, they were robbed by bandits, who were then killed by the rebels. Now, they all belonged to Wang Yi. Of course, she didn't forget to stuff the sweet potatoes into her backpack.
Doesn’t this explain the origin?
From now on, no matter where anyone asked her where the potatoes and sweet potatoes came from, she would say that they were found in the Baiqing Chamber of Commerce.
As for where did the Baiqing Chamber of Commerce get it?
It was the one at Maple Leaf Station that was wiped out. How would I know?
"Haha, with the guy in the car drawing the fire, the rebels probably won't have time to chase me. He was driving away, and I was wrongly accused. He stole the things, so how can he blame me, a common woman?"
Wang Yi looks naive, but she is a 40-year-old female executive in the workplace.
Could someone who was under such strict guard be a simple refugee?
She would never believe Ye Heng's nonsense.
So, he has to take the blame for this!
She remembered that there was a Qigong master in the book, and she seriously suspected that Ye Heng was one of them. The pressure he exerted when he got close to her and the calluses on his hands made her certain that Ye Heng had great martial arts skills.
He would definitely be able to find a way to get the dagger thrown in and untie himself.
As long as Ye Heng runs away and she runs away, where can the Righteous Army of Heaven and Earth find the blame?
Wang Yi whistled and patted the donkey's butt, and casually picked up an ordinary brown rag coat from the Baiqing Chamber of Commerce.
After the donkey ran a long way away, she found a few big trees and stopped in the bushes.
With a headscarf wrapped around her and a change of clothes, she became a strange young lady. She placed her cross-body backpack directly in the space and took it out after seeing her family.
She also found a saddle for the pony among the goods in the Chamber of Commerce, specifically the cheapest one, plain and inconspicuous, and put it on the donkey's back with difficulty.
Otherwise, people will be ruined.
Finally, I grabbed a handful of the refreshing grass and stuffed it into the donkey's mouth. The little donkey's eyes lit up and he ate it happily.
When this thing is not used for detoxification, it is a healthy and burden-free stimulant. If given to animals, it can really drain the last bit of their strength.
She poked her head out stealthily and found that the rebels were not chasing her. She was overjoyed. It seemed that the carriage had been successfully diverted away from the rebels.
He turned over, rode the donkey, and ran quickly towards his family.
On this side, the rebels found that they could not wake up Ma Renyi no matter what they did, so they finally used the antidote to the knockout drug to make him wake up.
Ma Renyi woke up and immediately realized something was wrong. He asked, "Is the carriage still there?"
Dongfeng Xijiu lowered their heads. They were also stunned and knew nothing.
"Go after her! Where's that woman?"
"General, they were also taken away by the carriage. And the goods of the Chamber of Commerce..." Xijiu's voice became lower and lower. He felt extremely embarrassed.
"Idiot! Good-for-nothing! You're really bad at nothing! You can even lose a person just by looking at him?" Ma Renyi flipped the table in anger.
"Go find them immediately! If you can't find them, come back and apologize by military court!"
"Yes! But General, are you looking for the carriage or that woman..."
"What woman? Of course I'm looking for a carriage! Is King Dingyuan of Jing more important, or a peasant woman? I have plenty of peasant women. Can you capture a second King Dingyuan for me? You idiot! Search along the wheel tracks!"
In the carriage, Ye Heng stretched out his eighteen-meter-long legs, exerted one hundred and eighty degrees of strength, and finally hooked the dagger over with his face flushed to one thousand eight hundred degrees.
His slender fingers gently grasped the dagger, infused it with his inner strength, and immediately cut through the wooden window of the carriage that was tying him up.
Although the four chains were still on his body, he was able to move by grabbing them and he breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of his indecent posture just now, Ye Heng's face flushed.
Damn peasant woman, don’t let me meet you again!
"drive!"
The carriage galloped away at full speed and disappeared into the depths of the forest in a moment.
It's night.
As they got closer to Qingdong City, Li Shenggen felt that the chirping of insects and birds began to increase.
The number of disaster victims around gradually increased. They were all the remnants of the Yunze Kingdom, and they were gathering towards Qingdong City one after another.
Li Shenggen and his family camped in a place far from the disaster victims. It was already late, the city gates were closed, and they didn't know what procedures were required to enter Qingdong City, so they could only stay here for the time being.
Standing on the west side, Li Shenggen kept looking out, but all he saw was darkness, with only the occasional light from torches, and he couldn't see anything.
"Boss, stop looking and come down and have some hot soup."
Wang Juanhua knew that he was waiting for her mother-in-law to come back, but the family no longer had any illusions about this.
In peasant families, human life is worth less than grass. My mother sacrificed herself to allow her family to escape, and it is unrealistic for her to still dream of escaping from the rebel camp.
When Wang Juanhua thought of the situation her mother-in-law was about to suffer, her eyes turned red and she started to cry.
We are all women, so we never know what we will encounter.
Although my mother-in-law was very rude before, it had only been a few days since she became a better person. How could she sacrifice herself like this?
Li Qubing cried for his mother in the crowd, crying so hard that his heart was broken, which made Li Yuan and Li Yin cry too, although they didn't know why their uncle was crying.
Li Chengcai was burning the fire in silence, and his daughters-in-law also lowered their heads and worked silently. In fact, their eyes were red and swollen, and they could no longer cry.
Adults silencing children's crying is also common in the woods outside the city.
Those who fled famine lost their homes and their roots, and they are like duckweed wherever they go.
Suddenly, Li Shenggen saw a group of people coming on the road.
"village head?"
It turned out that fellow villagers from Yeqingpo had arrived.
Just as he was about to say hello, a huge donkey head suddenly emerged from the crowd.
Then, a person who looked almost unrecognizable appeared.
Wang Yi pulled the donkey out of the crowd in surprise, hugged Shenggen and patted him hard.
Li Shenggen hadn't reacted yet, but he had already realized something and his face suddenly showed ecstasy.
If the voice hadn't been exactly the same, he wouldn't have thought it was his mother.
My mother changed her clothes and looked like a different person.
"Hey Shenggen, mother finally found you!"
Wang Yi cried with joy and sobbed loudly.
That afternoon, she escaped in fear and finally caught up with her fellow villagers from Yequpo.
She felt safer hiding among her fellow villagers.
During this time, she saw the running carriage and the rebels riding horses chasing her and the carriage in the woods.
She hid in the crowd, trembling like other people, but she was actually fooled.
Only when she saw Shenggen, her uneasy heart finally settled down.
"Mother! It's mother! Qubing, look who's back! Mother is back!"
Wang Juanhua immediately wiped her tears and smiled, and hurriedly called out to her brother-in-law.
