The thieves next door are all dead, and dead people cannot go and tip off the enemy.
The eight people rescued last night will definitely avoid the thieves, so she is safe for the time being.
"Let's prepare things today and leave tomorrow. Let's buy some meat to make some dried meat and buy two donkey carts for the journey. Let's ask Auntie to make some pancakes, lots of them, because I want to take a short detour to see Mount Paektu."
Kang Yuanchen nodded and said, "Okay, Yuanwu and I will go buy it, and you stay at home to look after the house."
"No, the marinade needed for making jerky is only available from my master. I'll take care of the meat and the marinade. Let He Zhengchu and Hu Dacheng go buy the donkey cart, and you stay home to look after the house."
After breakfast, Kang Yueran took out sixty taels of silver and handed it to He Zhengchu. "I've decided to leave for the capital tomorrow. You and Dacheng go buy two donkey carts."
He Zhengchu didn't take the money. "Leave the donkey cart to me and Dacheng. No need for money. Last night, the eight of us divided the money that Mother Wang brought. I have money!"
Kang Yueran stuffed the silver into his hand and said, "Here, take it. Keep your silver for now. When I run out of money, you can give it to me. Also, smear your face a little before you go out."
He Zhengchu's ears felt slightly hot, but his face remained calm. "I understand!"
After breakfast, everyone got busy with their own things.
Kang Yueran first went to find Manager Hao and told him that thieves broke into the next door last night and beat and killed people. Her family was scared, so they planned to leave tomorrow.
Manager Hao asked his servant to take Kang Yueran to see the landlady. She paid the full month's rent and the landlady didn't say anything more.
After checking out, Kang Yueran found a butcher shop and bought 30 kilograms of meat, and bought marinade and five pickled vegetables in the space mall.
I also went to the grocery store to buy salt, oil paper and other things I would need on the road.
In the kitchen, Zhao was making a fire, Wang Xiaoying was making pancakes, and Huang was baking pancakes.
Two donkey carts were tied in the corner of the yard.
When He Zhengchu saw Kang Yueran coming back, he pulled out a handful of silver from his pocket and said, "I bought the donkey from two farmers. I don't know how to choose, so I only bought the strong ones. I spent a total of 49 taels, and this is the remaining money."
Kang Yueran accepted the money. She didn't know whether the donkeys were good or bad, but she felt that both donkeys were very energetic.
“Good pick!”
There is only one kitchen, but the others cannot all sit idle.
Kang Yueran directed people to build a circle of stones in the yard, lit a fire in the middle, placed a pot brought from next door on top, and started making dried meat.
Kang Yuanwu, who went to get the pot, wanted to empty the food, but Kang Yueran only let him carry back a bag of rice.
Bringing too much food is not necessarily a good thing. When you get to the capital, you will have enough money to buy food.
At night, sleeping rooms are reallocated.
Kang Yueran and Wang Xiaoying shared a room, while Zhao's room was given to He Zhengchu and the other two, and she stayed in the kitchen for one night.
Everyone else was sleeping soundly, but Zhao was the only one sitting on the kitchen floor, hugging her legs and crying silently. Ever since Kang Youan passed away, she hadn't had a single comfortable day, and now she had to spend the night in the kitchen.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and she simply burst into tears.
Kang Yueran heard the crying and came to the kitchen. "Why are you crying so late at night? Are you trying to scare me?"
The fear and resentment Zhao had endured for many days burst out at this moment, "Kang Yueran, you beast! You abused your elders! You will not die a good death!"
"Shut up! If you dare to make any more noise, I'll throw you next door and let you sleep with those dead people."
"Throw it, throw it! If you dare to throw it, I will report you to the government office. You have killed so many people, let the government arrest you and put you in jail! I will also tell those accomplices of the thief and let them come to seek revenge on you."
Kang Yueran threatened Zhao, "Then go ahead. You are the oldest in this family. When I see the officials, I will say that you forced me to do it. If I kill someone, you are the mastermind. If I go to jail, you can't escape."
He couldn't beat Kang Yueran in terms of fighting power, and he also lost to Kang Yueran in terms of eloquence.
Zhao was even more angry. "Your father just passed away not long ago. You abuse me like this. Be careful that he will come back to find you."
"You still dare to mention my father? Do you remember how he died? You are in this situation now because of your own sins. This is the retribution you deserve. I will not forgive you if you disturb everyone's rest."
Kang Yueran hated Zhao's mischief, so she deliberately clenched her fist to scare Zhao, "You saw me kill someone yesterday, so you'd better not mess with me!"
Zhao was so frightened that she trembled all over. "You, you dare! I, I..."
"Don't be so mean, if you behave yourself you will always have something to eat. If you dare to mess around again, I will not be polite to you."
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Kang Yueran turned and left the kitchen.
As it turned out, Kang Yueran's trick was not very effective, it was too effective.
Thinking of how Kang Yueran had killed so many people next door, Zhao shuddered several times and cold sweat broke out on her back.
She thought of Kang Youping again, who had abandoned her after stealing her silver.
What about Kang Yueran?
They are going to the provincial capital at dawn. Will Kang Yueran abandon her on the way and let her fend for herself?
The more Zhao thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she began to cry softly again.
As the sky gradually brightened, Zhao felt anxious and afraid.
Suddenly, she remembered that Kang Yueran had said outside the county town that the county magistrate of Changming County was a good man.
She hardened her heart and made a decision.
