On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 96 Yue, it’s me, are you asleep?

Chapter 96 October, it’s me, are you asleep?

(Thanks to zggdzjlhlzxy for voting 3 monthly ticket.)
There are fifteen human heads in total, five taels of silver for each head, which makes seventy-five taels!

More than one-third of them were killed by Li Shiyue alone, so at least thirty taels out of the seventy-five taels were what she deserved.

He said he was going to the Sanshan County Government to collect the money, and he left as soon as he said so.

Before leaving, Li Shiyue said to Li Youfu solemnly: "Grandpa Fu, let's dig a big pit at the foot of the mountain and burn all these headless corpses together."

Burning it is the most convenient way. After burning, cover it with soil and it will save trouble.

However, the people in Lijia Village are very familiar with the practice of touching the corpse before cremation.

Even Li Shigui knew that he had to touch the corpse before throwing it away, and take away all the useful things.

What's more, they actually found some gold and silver from the bodies of several barbarians. They must have been the ones they robbed from the Han people before.

Then there are the scimitars used by the barbarians, the bow abandoned by Agulang, and the used arrows. These are all good things. Even if you can't use them yourself, it would be good to take them to the town to exchange for some gold and silver.

At the strong request of Li's mother, Li Shiyue had to go home to change clothes, and then he carried the backpack, Li Qiutian, Li Wangshui and Li Shiyang and left Liujiatun together.

Originally, they wanted Ma Zi to go with them to Qingsong Town to find a doctor to check the arrow wound on his shoulder, but Li's mother said that she had seen someone treat it in the provincial capital before, and Ma Zi's injury really could not be delayed any longer.

So, after obtaining Ma Zi's consent, Li's mother pulled out the arrow for Ma Zi, washed the wound with the wine collected by Liu Laozhang's family, and found some medicine, crushed it and applied it on the wound.

"If you don't have a fever tonight, then it's fine. Just like what the military officer said, you'll be fine after some rest.

If you have a fever at night, we have fever-reducing soups and medicines. Just call your aunt and she will make the medicine for you personally!"

After everything was arranged at home, Li Shiyue and his companions set off on their journey.

Originally, Li Shiyue thought that he would do most of the work on carrying the two heads, so Li Shiyang wouldn't have to carry them.

After all, compared to Li Shiyue, Li Qiutian and Li Wangshui, Li Shiyang is really no good.

It’s not that Li Shiyang is timid and doesn’t dare to carry the heads in the sack.

But some people just can't accept it physically. It has nothing to do with courage. That's just the way it is.

Besides, Li Shiyang is a scholar after all. Although he is not the kind of scholar who is lazy and does not know the difference between grains, when he was in Lijia Village, he basically did not participate in farm work.

Wouldn't it be difficult for him to carry several heads all the way to Qingsong Town?

Why bother?
However, even though Li Shiyue said this, Li Shiyang still had to take the two heads and put them in the backpack.

Thus, the sack in the basket behind Li Shiyue was filled with five heads, piled high;
Li Qiutian and Li Wangshui each carried four heads in their backpacks.
Finally, the two heads were left and Li Shiyang had to carry them away.

When the few people arrived at Qingsong Town, someone was already waiting for them.

"October!"

From a distance, Dog Lao San saw Li Shiyue and his companions carrying baskets on their backs and walking towards them on the road. When Li Shiyue and his companions came closer, Dog Lao San suddenly stood up from the wall and ran towards Li Shiyue.

Just after he had spoken a few words to Gou Lao San, a soldier and a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman came over.

Gou Laosan quickly introduced the few people to each other. Only then did Li Shiyue and the others know that when Liu Tan and his companions were riding back to Qingsong Town, they had specifically told the soldiers guarding the gate about the events in Liujiatun.

"The general has told me that if you want to go to Sanshan County Government Office, you can follow our carriage."

As for the middle-aged man, he is the owner of Xingsheng Building here. The old, weak, women and children from Lijia Village and Wangjia Village are now gathered in his house.

After understanding the situation, they finally decided that Li Shiyue and Li Shiyang would take the heads to the Sanshan County Government to exchange them for silver.

Li Qiutian, Li Wangshui and Gou Laosan went to Xingshenglou together to pick up people, so that they could bring them back to Liujiatun in advance.

After all, if they wait for Li Shiyue and the others to come back from Sanshan County, the people who stay in Qingshan Town will have to wait one more night.

Li Shiyue specially bowed to the shopkeeper of Xingshenglou to express his gratitude for his help.

Li Shiyue knew that this opportunity was over. If he wanted to ask someone to do something for him again in the future, he would have to pay a price.

After all, Yan Jiuniang and she were just casual acquaintances after all. Even if the two of them got along well, it would be impossible for the mutual sympathy between people who were not from the same class to last long.

After everything was arranged, Li Shiyue and Li Shiyang followed the soldier to the government office. After waiting for a while, a row of grain carts came out of the office.

The soldier arranged a cart for the two men, which was not loaded with food but fodder for the donkeys and mules pulling the cart.

"Since you know how to drive, I'll leave this car to you. We should be able to reach Sanshan County in the evening if we continue along this route.

At that time, we will rest at the official post for one night, and then go to the city the next day, so that we can catch up with the government office."

After thanking the man, Li Shiyue carried the backpack into the car. Li Shiyang wanted to help, but felt that he could not be of much help in this way.

"Sister October's strength is truly greater than that of men."

Li Shiyue laughed and carried the other two baskets onto the car. "Brother Shiyang, I like what you said. Haha, I am stronger than any man!"

Seeing that the convoy would not leave for a while, Li Shiyue quickly ran to a roadside restaurant and bought a bag of sesame cakes. "Here, Brother Shiyang, eat them quickly. When we are on the road, it will be dusty and windy, and we won't be able to eat them."

Li Shiyang thanked Li Shiyue and took the cake to eat.

Li Shiyue ate quickly. When Li Shiyang was about to finish one, she had already finished three pancakes.

I had just asked for two bowls of water from the restaurant when the car in front started moving.

After drinking the water in the bowl and returning the bowl to the restaurant, Li Shiyue jumped onto the car, whipped the mule and pulled the reins, and the mule moved forward obediently.

Along the way, there was occasional breeze, and although it was chilly, it was still quite good, at least it could reduce the pain to Li Shiyue's nose.

Having five senses that are superior has its advantages, but it is not without disadvantages.

There were fifteen recently chopped-off human heads on the cart. You didn't have to smell it carefully to smell the strong smell of blood.

It was because Li Shiyue was gifted and able to endure, otherwise he would have vomited out the cake he had just eaten.

Didn't you see how listless Li Shiyang was? It was really too smelly.

Just as the soldiers said, they finally arrived at Sanshan County near dusk.

Tonight, several people stayed in an inn outside Sanshan County. Li Shiyue and Li Shiyang took advantage of the situation and not only did they get to stay for a night for free, they also got a free meal of porridge.

Because Li Shiyue was a girl, they specially arranged a room for her to live in.

Li Shiyue had just scalded her feet and was about to lie down on the bed when she suddenly heard footsteps coming towards the room where she lived. She waited for two breaths and sure enough, there was a knock on the door.

"October, it's me. Are you asleep?"
