I don’t know if I was just too lucky, but when I was harvesting the fruit trees, I unexpectedly found dozens of jars of wine and more than a dozen jars of treasures buried under the trees.
"Haha, this bandit steward is too powerful. I even doubt whether he is a steward. He looks a bit like the bandit's father. He has too many treasures."
Generally speaking, although housekeepers can make money, it will definitely not be this much.
But why does he have so much money? What does it have to do with her? In the end, it will all end up in her pocket.
When I was satisfied with the harvest and was about to go out, I saw a row of houses next to this one, and I could hear faint animal sounds.
"Hey, I heard that landlords in ancient times all knew how to enjoy life. This old man seems to be one who enjoys life, so those animals here must be his pets, right?"
In this era, you can no longer have whatever you want to eat, so rich families either have their own estates.
Or there must be a fixed place that supplies meat, eggs and vegetables. This old man lives outside the city gate, and I think he has his own way of living a carefree life.
While thinking, he walked forward again.
I pushed the door open and took a look. Wow, this might be an animal encyclopedia.
Most of the livestock are pigs, cows, horses, sheep, dogs, roe deer, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, and various other types of livestock.
"Good meat, collect it, don't let it go to waste."
Everything within a three-meter radius was tucked away.
It would be fine if they just took away other people's animals, but they even took away the leftover food.
"It takes something to feed these things in the space, and let's collect the pig grass as well. As expected, I'm used to fleeing famine, and I want to collect everything I see."
Even the pile of firewood and charcoal outside the house were taken away.
After finishing the work, Xiushui clapped his hands and looked at the place in front of him where only houses were left, and left with satisfaction.
She had only been gone for a moment when an old man pushed the door open with a group of people.
The old man took a few steps, then hesitated and slowed down.
"Master, why do I feel like we've come to the wrong place?"
The dozen or so guards following closely behind him also looked at him with torches in hand, and their expressions changed drastically.
The old man let out a strange cry and ran to the big pit in front with a few big strides.
"Is this the pear tree we had earlier?"
The guard nodded reluctantly.
"My Lord, this seems to be the pear tree you loved most earlier."
The master loved to hug the delicate girl and let her lie on the tree, and he would go crazy about this for a long time.
But at this time, the pear tree that made him extremely satisfied was gone, leaving only an extremely deep pit.
"Where is my tree, my favorite tree? And where is the girl's red wine under my tree? That is the wine I brew with every girl who has never been in a relationship with a man."
Then, the old man ran around the yard like a madman.
"My peaches? My pomegranate tree, my plum tree... my treasure down there... ahhhh, who the hell dug up my treasure?"
The guards were also at a loss and could only follow the master around the yard in a hurry.
He rushed to the back and confirmed that there was not even a rockery left in his huge garden. The master was so angry that he vomited a liter of blood.
"It's...it's that damn thief. This is my life savings. It's not just mine. This..."
Having said this, he didn't dare to continue.
As Xiushui guessed, how could an outsourced manager have so many treasures?
The fact that this dispatched housekeeper was able to hide so many treasures in the hidden courtyard was because they were kept in different places by the heads of the household.
But none of the heads of the family could have imagined that all their efforts to save all their eggs would end up helping the girl who was fleeing famine.
When the old couple remembered that there were all kinds of treasures of theirs in the house, they rushed in again, only to see that even some beautiful stones on the ground had been taken away. They only had time to scream.
He was strangled awake, and then screamed at the empty room and passed out again.
"Investigate, investigate for me! If I don't find this little thief, how am I going to explain this to the other bosses? Heaven is killing me! Heaven is killing me, old man..."
Xiushui was of course unaware of all this.
At this moment, she was looking at this pile of things and felt so happy.
Uncle Six, who was standing beside her, saw her smiling face, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled too.
The eldest niece has a secret, but it is a good thing for their Wen family.
It seems that he got some benefits from this trip, so as his uncle, he shouldn't ask too many questions.
After walking for a while, Xiushui finally realized what was happening.
"Hey, Uncle Six, I thought you were only good at studying. I didn't expect that after fleeing the famine for a while, your physical strength can catch up with mine."
"It's still a little worse. I'm a little out of breath."
Uncle Wen's eyes dimmed, but he became more determined. He decided that he would not only study but also keep fit in the future.
"Xiu, I think that exercising and reading at the same time is more effective than me just locking myself up and reading stupidly. Don't you think this person is weird?"
Xiushui smiled.
"Uncle, it's not that people are weird, it's actually because the human body reacts to fatigue.
Although you mentally force yourself to study and be serious, your body will still instinctively want to be lazy after you overwork.
The truth is, each person has only so much mental energy to focus on each day. After that, reading becomes just a formality.
Now you exercise and read at the same time. It seems that you spend less time reading, but the time you can concentrate on something has not decreased.
And because you are healthier, you can focus longer, so your reading results will naturally improve."
"That sounds very reasonable. From now on, I will have to strengthen my health and study at the same time. It's best for everyone in our Wen family to do this."
Xiushui smiled. When the uncle and nephew reached the fork in the road, they stopped communicating and walked quietly in the darkness.
However, during the journey, Xiushui's eyes, which could explore in the dark through mental power, still saw some ugly things.
When they fled famine before, they gathered together with familiar villagers.
As for what was happening among the refugee group, she really had no idea.
But now, passing through so many places where refugees gather, I see all kinds of human life.
There were several strong-looking men. Two of them were covering the mouths of an old man and an old woman, while another girl was pinned down by the two men.
The girl's eyes widened in despair, and even though she was held down by two people, she was still struggling desperately. However, even so, her thin clothes were still torn off.
There was a circle of empty space around them. Even though many people saw it, they pretended not to see it...
