Create a home with a system

Chapter 72 Stopped

Mrs. Li had some doubts about life, looked at Mrs. Jiang who was carrying Tang Xie on her back, gritted her teeth and asked, "Aren't you tired?"

Mrs. Jiang shook her head, "I've been working at home all day, I haven't done any heavy work, just walking with the child on my back, it's okay."

Mrs. Li pointed to the straw mat, "The problem is that this thing is really heavy."

The Wei family's conditions are good, and they have more than one donkey cart. The family can earn a lot by pulling customers and goods on the donkey cart, which is much better than the income from the land. Their family rents out all the land and collects it for a year. The grain is enough for their family to chew.

It is no exaggeration to say that before running away, the Wei family was like a local landowner, and Li's life was more than enough, and she hadn't done heavy work for many years. Today, such a move can make her I am exhausted.

Jiang's heart felt amused, and he looked ahead. The autumn rain seemed to be getting heavier, and there were no pedestrians around. I don't know if it was because the rain stopped the caravans and refugees from moving forward.

She asked Tang Ning beside her, "Ah Ning, should we find a village, go in and buy a few coir raincoats from others, and then see if there are any donkey carts willing to sell, first buy an emergency one, and then sell it when we arrive in Shangzhou That's it."

Tangning didn't expect the Jiang family to take the initiative to propose. After being surprised for a moment, she nodded and agreed, "Let's go further and have a look. If we come across a village, we'll go in and ask."

In this weather, people who have nothing to do should stay at home.

This idea completely disappeared after she entered the village. After asking three families in a row, either there was no one or the whole family had gone to the ground. Then she remembered in a daze that after a long drought, a sudden rain came, and the people had to hurry. Drill in the ground!

Since she couldn't find any young and strong people, Tangning could only ask the old people in the village. After wandering around the village, she finally bought all the coir raincoats. These days, the coir raincoats are all woven by the villagers themselves, and the ones she bought were old ones. Yes, one piece was sold for seven or eight pennies.

In addition, Tangning pretended to ask about old clothes such as bedding and jackets. She took two pieces and spent yuan. It's time to replace the one you bought earlier.

Donkey carts are not easy to buy. There are two donkey carts in the village and two mule carts. They have no intention of selling them. In the end, Tangning set a high price and bought one from a man for ten taels of silver. mule cart.

When I was driving the mule cart out of the village, the cart was full of things, and the coir raincoat took up more than half of it, and there were a lot of bedding and jackets underneath.

When Tang Ning met everyone, Li's eyes lit up when he saw the mule cart. He couldn't wait to throw away the straw mat on his body, put on a coir raincoat, and then divided up the other coir raincoats. Only then did he discover the quilt and jacket inside.

Tangning explained, "I got it from people in the village. It's cheaper than buying it from outside. Don't ask me anything. Let's hurry."

Li Shi nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, you have to go quickly, leave this place quickly."

Speaking of which, all the members of the Li family and the Jiang family got into the mule cart. Only Tang Ning, Tang Junsheng, his father and son, and the second idiot who were pushing the cart were allowed to leave. The three of them took turns pushing a cart, and Tangning pushed one by herself. Even faster than them.

Men wanted to save face. The four men got so angry that they pushed the scooter all the way. Tangning kept the same speed as them, distracted while walking.

The two girls left early in the morning in a donkey cart, and there was no heavy luggage in the cart, at most one person and the food. The speed should not be enough. Given their desire to escape, they might have run ten miles away at this moment. Well, the pursuers haven't come yet, and it is estimated that they will not be caught in all likelihood.

Thinking like this, there was a sudden sound of iron hooves coming from behind. Tangning's heart sank, and before the iron hooves approached, she urged, "Hurry up, get to the side, someone is chasing you from behind."

Good guy, this sound frightened the others. They sped up inexplicably without any intention of stopping. Tangning rubbed her forehead, "Do you think people won't suspect us?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Lao Er hurriedly pulled on the rope and looked back at Tangning in a daze.

Tangning said speechlessly, "We're on our way, not running for our lives. What are we doing so quickly? Others will be suspicious."

"Oh, yes, yes, it can't be fast!" Tang Laoer slowed down to allow Wei Dazhi to keep the same speed as him. The two of them had just adjusted and walked to the side for a while, and the sound of iron hooves was gradually approaching. Everyone heard it clearly.

After turning around, Tangning saw a group of people rushing towards them aggressively, and the instinctive fear made everyone silent.

However, the leader stopped in front of Tangning and the others, looked down at them, and asked the person behind him, "Are you inside?"

The person behind shook his head and whispered: "This pedestrian followed the caravan yesterday, and then the caravan stopped to stay and they left, but"

The man looked around, and when his eyes fell on the mule cart, he became a little more puzzled. Tang Lao Er and the others were too frightened to take a breath.

"But what?" The leader glanced sharply at the people in front of him.

The man said uncertainly, "I remember they were two donkey carts, how did this become a mule cart? Or did I remember wrongly?"

The leader looked at Tang Lao Er and the others.

Tangning stood up, clasped her fists calmly, and replied respectfully, "You remember correctly, we are two donkey carts. We didn't stay at the hotel last night to save money. I found a nearby earth temple to rest, and I don't know if it was raining or we were too tired, so we all fell asleep.

When I woke up, I found that there was no donkey cart, and even the food was half gone. The elders were crying because of this. The mule cart was just bought from the village, and the coir raincoats . "

The leader looked at Tangning and saw that she was very calm, so he said, "If that's the case, tell me which village it is. You can't go anywhere until you verify it."

Tang Lao Er and the others all turned pale with fright.

Tangning pointed in a direction, then obediently stood aside, "That's right, I bought the things by myself, and I brought them back in a mule cart. Many old people in the village have seen me, they know."

Immediately, several yamen ran in that direction on horseback.

The people in the caravan who came out from the Yacha were anxious, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I think those two women have already gone far away in the donkey cart, should we send some people to continue chasing them?"

The leader thought for a moment, then ordered the three of them to move on, and the men in the caravan followed suit.

On Tangning's side, there was only one official official left.

Tangning obediently took out a few kiwi fruits from the cart, and handed them over in a very simple manner, "Do you want to eat it, sir?"
