Chapter 111 Running away
"It's so scary! I can't imagine how loud I would scream if this thing bit me." Pan Yingying rubbed her arms, still feeling scared.
??He looked up and met Yu Chaosheng's eyes, and somehow, they both burst out laughing.
Pan Yingying glared at him, "Didn't you say you didn't want to run just now? But you ran faster than me!"
Yu Chaosheng crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, "I didn't do that to protect you and me, otherwise I would have to stay and fight this snake for three hundred rounds."
??Pan Yingying didn't believe what he said and was too lazy to argue with him on this topic. She turned around and looked for Fat Tiger, who was shivering in the doghouse that had run into the tent.
??Yu Chaosheng did not stay to watch the men deal with the black snake. After this trip, the depression in his heart suddenly subsided a lot.
??By the time he went to the small shower tent nearby to take a shower, he had completely forgotten about Qu Xiang coveting him.
??Batian was not injured, he was just frightened. After a meal of fresh beef, he became lively again. However, he had a psychological trauma and dared not go out for a walk alone for a short period of time. He had to be led by Pan Yingying or Yu Chaosheng.
??Five days later, the Taoyuan Village group arrived in Jinping County, a small county town next to Jinzhou.
?The group of exiles escorted by Liang Ye had just arrived in Lingyun.
The remaining prisoners looked at each other in confusion. Are we... free?
??As soon as I said that, the originally excited crowd suddenly fell silent.
Liang Ye was very generous and gave each of us 4,000 taels of silver, and reminded us that at worst we could use the silver notes to exchange for some gold and silver on the way home.
"Everyone, the mountains may change, but the waters will flow forever. We bid farewell to each other now."
The Qi family pushed their carts back out of the city, preparing to find an inn to pack up and buy a few horse-drawn carriages. However, we could not catch up with them just by relying on our legs.
??However, if Houer really takes out so little banknotes, how will he live in the future?
I am not an ordinary stupid person, but I have always been timid. However, I have never done so many things along the way, turning a blind eye to the gifts and letting the fugitives go out to play.
The old lady of the Wu family slapped her calf and said, "What are you still standing there for? Go back to the city and buy a carriage!"
??I did say clearly that the banknotes in my hand might become waste paper after a while, but I only mentioned that.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Liang Ye asked curiously, "Why did they leave?"
??Qi Yanniang returned to her own cart carrying a basket of supplies. She lowered her voice and told Grandpa Qi what she had heard from Qi Fang and the others.
Liang Ye drooped his eyelids. I just received a letter from home. The situation in the capital is stable. My father asked me to find a way to make early plans. No one from my family has returned to my hometown in Yuan County yet.
"Brother Chaosheng, we should reach Jinzhou soon."
Qi Fang smiled and said, "You bought a shop over there."
??Liang Ye pondered over what Pan Yingying said, thinking that brother Chaosheng's ambitions were very small.
The head of the Wu family gave a look to the eldest of his family, and no one spoke, "Liang Tou'er, do you know how much silver you got?"
Liang Ye pulled the corner of his lips, "You are beating around the bush with them. They are paying for their lives. If they don't have the money, they naturally can't do it."
?After leaving the city with the supplies and the fugitives who had bought goods for their retreat, Gu Yu touched the letter in his arms with a gloomy look on his face.
??Looking at the Qi family, they left so blatantly and timidly, and many voices came from outside the exiles.
Gu Yu gave Feng Qi a wink, and Feng Qi understood and took out the list from his bag.
If we delay any longer, we will really be caught by the people of Taoyuan Village.
??The officers knew why the boss did that, but they always believed that I had no reason to do that.
??Liang Ye made up his mind and added fuel to the fire.
The man who was still determined gritted his teeth and left with the banknotes.
The little families reacted immediately, and those who could take on the responsibility went back to the city to buy carriages and horses, while the rest of us stayed where we were to organize supplies.
??Gu Yu and Feng Qi were going to their hometown Yuan County, so they had to separate from the other officials halfway.
??Before leaving, I reminded him again that he should show off before going home, and quickly find a safe place for his family to live temporarily. I will contact us when the time comes.
??Mr. Qi took a deep breath, took off his worn-out shoes, pulled out a dagger from his thigh, picked up the sole, and took out a large oil-paper bag from outside.
You pointed to the shop that was still under renovation. There was a brand new plaque hanging under the door, with "Taoyuanzhai" written on it.
I spoke cautiously and acted even more cautiously. I turned around and asked the officers under my command to dismount, and then I left in a hurry.
??The oil paper package contained banknotes. I glanced at the Qi family members who were staring at me with burning eyes. "Pack your things. We will leave soon to seek refuge with the eldest son of the Liu family."
??Qi Yanniang went back to the city with a basket on her back to do some shopping. She accidentally bumped into Qi Fang's mother and son and Gu Yu's cousins. After chatting for a few words, she bumped into the escort officers who were collecting supplies from the county government.
??Although we in the Qi family understand the reason, since the head of the family has spoken, there is no reason for us to disobey.
??Especially the Wu family. We have few people in our family, and we took many heads when we killed bandits on the road. So, all in all, we have to pay at least hundreds of thousands of silver notes to get out of the bandit group.
??Let’s do a small job first, so that the brothers under me will have no money to rely on.
The Lingyun County government office was in a state of chaos. Liang Ye asked out of curiosity and found out that the governor of Liangzhou and his daughter who had married to the capital had died in a house somewhere in Lingyun County.
I received a banknote from a family, and Feng would write a name on it.
??Those who can still keep their family fortunes are all fools. The people in Taoyuan Village are going to Yaocheng, which has no reason for us to do so. Seeing that there is going to be a little chaos in the sky, of course we want to go to a stable place to start over.
??After a while, Mr. Qi waved to the Qi family and signaled us to leave later.
After crossing out the names that were not on the list, Liang Ye bowed to Xiao Jia.
Gu Yu's hand brushed the handle of the knife heavily, squinting his eyes, and said slowly: "The Qi family still needs 53 heads, and they have to pay taels of silver notes. My family may as well count them in."
??Liang Ye’s father, Liang Yantao, is a senior official in the Ministry of Industry, and his father-in-law works in Shuntian Prefecture. Although both of them are fourth-rank officials, they are well-informed. The fact that they wrote me a letter like that means that the necessary time has come.
??Those people didn’t associate with me when we were in the capital, but since we did so many things together along the way, they naturally trusted me very much.
Pan Yingying covered her mouth, looked at the officials, and said loudly, "The village chief said that he wants to open our Taoyuanzhai in all Xiaoyu."
On the other side, Liang Ye and his group of officials rode their horses for a long distance before they found a place with people to divide the banknotes.
??Old Master Qi took out two silver bills from the oil paper package behind people's backs. After thinking for a while, he took two less and went to find Gu Yu with seven silver bills in hand.
??But the question is, should I gamble with my remaining assets?
?For some reason, Liang Ye suddenly thought of Gu Yujia, and always felt that the matter had nothing to do with us.
