Chapter 570 Extra: Wanting to Get Rich by Suppressing Bandits
"Wow, robbing bandits is the fastest way to get rich."
Xie Zhichu and his companions, who were running into the cave, were stunned when they saw the gold and silver treasures inside.
They quickly took out a sack and stuffed it full of stuff.
"Wow, you guys are so well prepared!" Lin Wenqian's eyes widened when he saw Xie Zhichu and the others take out another burlap sack.
"Well, these were just preparations. Who knew these bandits would be so helpful, coming right to our doorstep?" Xie Zhili replied while frantically stuffing gold nuggets into the container.
"If bandits came to my door every day, I could get rich off them." With Lin Luoxi gone, Xie Zhichu said that sentence again.
"You brat, if bandits run rampant, it's the common people who will suffer, you know that?" Although Lin Luoxi wasn't there, Xie Hanchuan couldn't help but give Xie Zhichu a sharp rap on the forehead after hearing his words.
"Pfft~" Xie Zhili, Xie Zhiyan, Xie Zhiheng and Xie Leyao, who were present, couldn't help but laugh when they saw that Xie Zhichu didn't learn her lesson.
See? No matter what you do, you can't talk too much. Even if you think the same thing in your heart, you can't say it out loud.
"Hmph, just because I don't say it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. From now on, if I see a bandit den, I'll wipe it out."
"I've become rich, and the lives of ordinary people have improved too." Xie Hanchuan's aura wasn't as terrifying as Lin Luoxi's, and Xie Zhichu wasn't afraid of his father. He covered his head and said.
"Brother Hanchuan, I think Zhichu is right." Lin Wenqian agreed with Xie Zhichu's words.
If we keep discouraging a child's enthusiasm for fighting bandits, won't he just sit idly by when he sees bandits in the future?
There are too many corrupt officials, and honest officials are powerless to stop them. In the future, we will have to rely on a group of passionate young people to fight against evil and bring peace to the people.
"See? Even my uncle thinks I was right." Xie Zhichu, flattered by the praise, started to wag her little tail.
Seeing Xie Zhichu's tail wagging in the air, Xie Zhili quickly nudged the forgetful Xie Zhichu with his elbow.
Seeing Xie Zhichu looking over, he gestured with his eyes for him to look at Xie Hanchuan.
Xie Zhichu looked up and saw Xie Hanchuan staring at him meaningfully, which gave him goosebumps. He shuddered in fright and dared not say another word, burying his head in packing the gold bars.
He's not afraid of his father, but he's afraid his father will complain to his mother, in which case he'll definitely get a beating.
Seeing that Xie Zhichu had finally calmed down, Xie Hanchuan put away his terrifying gaze.
“What my brother-in-law said is true, but this kid has only fought off bandits twice and he thinks he’s all that.”
“Next time, if they take advantage of our inattention and charge into the bandits’ den alone, the consequences will be unimaginable,” Xie Hanchuan replied to Lin Wenqian.
"Yes, Zhichu, your father is right. You must listen to your father and never act impulsively."
The scene of Xie Zhili almost being hit by the bandit leader was still vivid in Lin Wenqian's mind, and he dared not speak up for Xie Zhichu.
"Yes, Dad, Uncle, I understand." Xie Zhichu nodded sincerely.
But his inner rebellious spirit wouldn't make him change his mind so easily.
He always acted with his eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and youngest sister; how could he possibly go alone?
"How come your sacks can hold so much?" Lin Wenqian had filled every possible space, but they still couldn't hold any more.
Looking at Lin Wenjin, Yang Xiaofeng, and Xie Hanchuan, their clothes were all stuffed full and couldn't hold any more.
But seeing Xie Zhili, Xie Zhiyan, Xie Zhiheng, Xie Zhichu, and Xie Leyao still stuffing sacks, they were incredibly envious.
"That's because our sacks are big!"
"Uncle, next time you go out, remember to bring a burlap sack with you!"
Under the envious gazes of Lin Wenqian and the others, Xie Zhichu and his quintuplets diligently packed everything in the cave into sacks.
But after they had packed all the gold and silver jewelry, Xie Zhili and his group's sacks had swelled up to be several times larger than themselves.
"Zhili, do you need our help?" Lin Wenqian asked with difficulty, looking at the sack that was even bigger than them.
They might not even be able to carry such a large sack.
But they are adults; they can't just watch these teenagers carry thousands of pounds of stuff down the mountain!
"No need, Uncle. You take your things and go down first. We'll be down soon." Xie Zhili looked at the sky gradually darkening and refused Lin Wenqian and the others' suggestion, insisting on carrying the things down the mountain himself.
"Okay, okay, let's go down the mountain first." Lin Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason.
If they were really made to carry those huge sacks of gold down the mountain, they'd probably all strain their backs.
Upon hearing that they didn't need to carry it, they descended the mountain at an incredible speed, as if a ghost were chasing them.
"Then I'll go down too." Knowing that the sack held a secret, Xie Hanchuan saw Lin Wenqian and the others coming down the mountain, greeted the children, and then went down the mountain as well.
"Yes, Father, it's getting late, take your time!" Xie Zhili nodded, knowing that Xie Hanchuan was going to check the situation ahead.
After seeing Xie Hanchuan wave to them, Xie Zhili immediately threw the sack into his Qiankun bag, and with his hands empty, hopped and skipped down the mountain.
As they approached the carriage, Lin Luoxi sensed something and drove the carriage over. Several dark figures then threw the carriage into the carriage.
"Second sister, your carriage is full of things, how can you still lie down?"
"If that's not possible, let's find a place to rest and buy another carriage while we're at it."
It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, so Lin Wenqian assumed that Xie Zhili and his men had thrown the sacks containing gold and silver jewelry onto the carriage.
Even though they already had three carriages, they were still worried that Lin Luoxi wasn't getting enough rest, and asked her with concern.
"It's alright, brother, let's keep going!"
"Besides, with so many valuables in the carriage, it's not really reassuring to sleep at an inn."
Lin Luoxi shook her head, insisting on driving herself and continuing on her way.
Lin Wenqian is right. Their team has too many valuables on them, so it's not safe for them to go into the inn.
Everyone agreed, and since the carriage was equipped with pots, pans, and utensils, they could simply find a scenic spot to rest, cook, set up tents, and relax wherever they wanted to eat.
After traveling for three days and two nights, they finally entered the familiar Qingshan City from the west of Quanzhou.
Lin Luoxi took the lead and they went back to the princess's residence to rest.
"My God, I'm finally back."
Xie Hanchuan drove the carriage to Xie Zhili's courtyard, went through the formalities, and then had the servants drive the carriage away.
"Yes, there's no place like home."
Although this term is inappropriate, the princess's residence was more prosperous and had a more human touch than the princess's residence in the capital.
But returning to a familiar place finally brought me peace of mind.
