Chapter 105: Asking for Shelter

“There is a centuries-old well in Anping County.

There is a spring in this well that has never dried up. Even if it is so dry now, springs still keep coming out.

But the Anping County magistrate has firmly controlled this well.

Only the adults and merchants in the city are eligible to use it.”

“The reason why I know this is because one of my playmates is a servant of the county magistrate’s house.

The reason why I came out was because I wanted to steal water. After people found out, they had no choice but to do such a thing.”

“I was forced to do this. If I could be a good person, why would I do this? I wanted to live, so I became a bad person.”

“I know that I have sinned a lot, but those corrupt officials, the high officials of the court, and the superior emperor deserve to die even more.”

That last sentence carries with it a sense of regret. The world is endlessly angry towards the Yong Dynasty.

He lunged forward and bumped into the knife, and the sharp knife pierced his heart.

The gang leader died, and it was not a pity that he died, but the last words he said were not wrong.

Yang Dashan said, “Look to see if there is anything valuable here.”

Su Yin pointed to a thatched house, “There are a lot of medicinal materials in that room; you can bring it.”

Shopkeeper Li said in time, “Girl, the medicinal materials in that room are all mine. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to take them back.”

Su Yin waved her hands indifferently, “I saw it at the time and thought it was strange that these people had prepared so many medicinal materials.

It’s from Shopkeeper Li.”

“Hey, I really want to thank you.”

Shopkeeper Li started to complain.

“After you left my shop that day, I thought about your words and told my wife about it.

My wife just thought that I wanted to go out for a walk and immediately decided to visit my mother-in-law’s house as a family.

We are a family of three. I took two servants from Dongtu County to Nanping County and soon discovered something was wrong.

“I happened to meet some friends from my business days and learned about Yuzhou from their mouths, but it was adjacent to Dongtu County.

I’m afraid it has become a hell on earth.”

“If I hadn’t listened to what you said, our family of three would have been gone.”

“When we first arrived in Nanping County, we couldn’t find the Yue family, and the entire village had moved away.

Since we couldn’t go back, we planned to go all the way south, both to escape and to find my father-in-law’s family.”

“Unexpectedly, as soon as we got here, we were kidnapped by this group of people. Fortunately, I was a doctor.

It was a good thing for them; it still has some uses, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to protect my wife and children.”

“If you don’t come, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect them soon.”

“Thank you for coming.”

“In total, you have saved our family of three twice.”

Shopkeeper Li said, pulling his wife and son to kowtow to Su Yin.

Su Yin hurriedly helped him up and said, “Shopkeeper Li, you’re too polite.”

In fact, this was all unintentional.

The first time it was their own decision that saved themselves.

The second time they were rescued was incidental.

The feeling of being a lifesaver can only be regarded as half and half.

After half a stick of incense, a few people came back and found very little.

“That’s it?”

Several people who had seen the big scene now looked at the more than ten taels of silver found, which really made them look down upon it.

“The money is small, but there are some cloths and medicinal materials that are worth some money.”

“Is there something they have hidden deep in the place?” Yang Shuilian asked.

Shopkeeper Li said, “They are very poor, so poor that you can’t even find food, so you can only do that kind of thing.

If they were really that rich, they wouldn’t have taken that road.”

This is exactly the truth.

“Let’s leave quickly.”

Su Yin looked at this valley. If it were placed in a modern popular tourist destination, it would be really suitable for escaping from the world.

It’s a pity that there is no water source.

The little water source in the cave can’t last long, let alone enough for many people to drink.

Taking their belongings and the rescued people with them, Su Yin and her party left this place.

After leaving the cave, Su Yin asked people to work together to block the entrance of the cave and then cover it with vines again.

At the same time, the Zhou family was worried and looked behind them from time to time.

The Zhang family, Nan Wu, and others were also anxious. Someone in their family had been there, so they were naturally concerned.

Mother Su and Su Baozhu glanced behind them repeatedly. Every minute and every second felt painfully long for these people.

Su Baozhu had good eyesight and was the first to notice the group of people approaching Su Yin.

“They are back.”

When everyone heard the sound, they turned their heads and looked behind them, seeing a large group of people returning.

They all stopped and waited. When the group got closer, they naturally noticed Shopkeeper Li’s family of three and the four women.

The seven people all exuded an unpleasant smell, and everyone held their breath subconsciously.

The smell was just too strong.

Su Yin looked at the few people and said, “I will take you to Anping County. When you get there, you can leave on your own. Or you can leave now if you want.”

It was impossible for her to take all of them with her.

First of all, there was not enough food, and secondly, there was not enough water for everyone to use.

They now had one more horse in their herd, and one more horse consumed a lot more water.

This was one of the reasons why she didn’t dare to keep all ten horses.

Shopkeeper Li began to sell himself, “Miss Su, although I have lost my fortune, I am a doctor and I can treat diseases.

If anyone in the team has a headache or fever, I can solve it. I just ask that you can protect us for a while and wait.

We will leave when we find a place to stay.”

Shopkeeper Li’s wife, Yu Niang, also said, “We won’t eat too much.”

As for Shopkeeper Li and his family, Su Yin wanted to keep them.

First, they really need a doctor in their team.

Second, Shopkeeper Li has traveled to many places, which is very helpful for the rest of the journey.

These two points are the most lacking in their team.

When the four women saw it, they also prayed, “Miss Su, please accept us too. We have no relatives anymore, and we don’t know where we can go to make a living.”

In today’s world, how can the four women survive if they want to? It’s very difficult.

I’m afraid that as soon as I leave their team, I will be kidnapped or killed soon.

However, Su Yin is not a charity here, and she cannot be a good person.

Being a good person requires money and food, but she has neither.

Seeing that Su Yin didn’t speak, the four of them knelt down and kowtowed to her.

“Please, girl, give us a way to survive.”

Su Yin subconsciously looked at Nan Jingzhi.

In fact, it is better to beg Nan Jingzhi than to beg her.

Nan Jingzhi received her signal, swung his hips and slipped away.

Wocao, what a realistic man!
