After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

The landlady looked over worriedly: "Brother, are you okay?"

Liu Ji nodded.

Qin Yao smiled and shook her head, "He's fine."

"Madam boss, how do you sell your tiles?" Qin Yao asked about the price.

Business was so important that the landlady didn't bother to care about Liu Ji. She led Qin Yao to look at the tiles and said, "It depends on how much you want. We are a tile kiln and they are sold in bulk in the countryside. If If you buy more than two hundred pieces, the price will be more affordable.”

Uncle Jiu had calculated for Qin Yao before that it would take about two thousand tiles to cover all the tiles in her house. There might be some left, but not more.

Qin Yao asked the proprietress to buy more first, and if there was any leftover, she would return it.

She remembered that before the apocalypse, this was how her parents bought decoration materials when they were renovating. She wanted to come here, right?

However, Qin Yao was lucky. The landlady said that they had not bought it yet and returned it, but if Qin Yao could guarantee that it was returned in good condition, she could return it.

"If it breaks, we won't be responsible."

The proprietress kindly reminded: "It's best to have a little extra, because some may be broken during transportation on the road."

"Will you help deliver it?" Qin Yao asked.

The landlady nodded: "Where is your home? I'll see if it's far away. As long as it doesn't leave our Jinshi Town, it's fine."

Qin Yao said: "Not far away, in Liujia Village."

The landlady smiled, assured her that it would be fine, and asked Qin Yao how much he wanted.

"Two thousand pieces, what's the price?"

"In this case, if you ask for more, I will give you three to four tablets. These two thousand tablets are worth one to two to five yuan in total, which is already the lowest price. It also comes with free delivery, and the carriage and horse fees are also quite high. We must make some money."

The landlady said it sincerely. Qin Yao thought it was okay and paid a 30% deposit on the spot so that the landlady could deliver it to him tomorrow.

Two thousand tiles cannot be delivered in one trip. It will take several more trips. The sooner the delivery is done, the better.

The landlady wrote down and gave Qin Yao a voucher written on a piece of wood. When the goods are delivered, she will check the voucher with the delivery boy, settle the remaining money, and the money will be paid.

Watching Qin Yao come out of the tile kiln, Liu Ji, who was leaning on the pillar at the door and blowing on the back of his hand, quickly put down his hand, stood up seriously, and asked with a smile: "Are you done?"

Qin Yao nodded coldly.

She first went to the blacksmith's house to ask how her weapons were doing.

The master blacksmith thought she was in a hurry and was here to urge her, so he hurriedly promised: "Wait for two more days. Come and pick it up in two days, and it will be ready for you."

"Okay, I'll come back in two days."

Seeing how busy the blacksmith was, Qin Yao had no choice but to leave.

"Madam, are you going back now?" Liu Ji followed her and asked in surprise.

He looked up at the sky and saw that it was not yet noon. He finally went out and went to a brick kiln and a boring blacksmith shop. This made his trip in vain.

Qin Yao kept walking, "Do you know why I asked you to come with me?"

"Why?" Liu Ji asked sincerely.

Qin Yao explained: "I originally thought that the boss didn't have door-to-door delivery service, so I wanted to bring you here to have an extra person to carry the bags."

"So, you're pretty lucky." You escaped.

Liu Ji wanted to smile, but couldn't. He blew on the back of his hand that was still hot and was forced to follow Qin Yao home.

The two of them were silent all the way.

The weather has been fine these days and the road in the valley is fairly easy to walk.

Autumn is already very strong, and the mountains and forests on both sides of the road have been dyed with a layer of golden orange. When the wind blows, the fallen leaves are flying.

The scenery is extremely beautiful, but it is too quiet, even in the blue sky and daylight, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Liu Ji glanced at the woman striding ahead and secretly rejoiced that she was not walking this mountain road alone.

He looked at the woods rustling in the wind around him, and quickened his pace to catch up, parallel to Qin Yao.

"Madam, do you feel that this road is particularly deserted? You said it's not even winter yet. Why don't everyone go out? I walked for a long time without seeing anyone."

Qin Yao looked around and didn't feel anything deserted. She had walked by alone before, and there was no other change except that the leaves were more yellow.

But looking at Liu Ji's cowardly look, he asked sarcastically: "Are you scared?"

"No way!" Liu Ji looked disapproving, "I just heard that there are a lot of bandits here this year, and I'm a little worried about encountering robbers."

"Forget it, you treat your kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs." He said this, but his body honestly accelerated his pace in order to keep parallel with her.

The two walked for a while and entered another long and narrow valley from a gap.

The wind was blowing in the valley, and the sun above the head was hidden in the clouds at some point, and the light in the entire valley became dim.

Liu Ji looked left and right, always feeling something strange.

He was not one to hide his words, he spoke out as soon as he thought of it.

"Madam, do you really not think this road looks eerie?"

When asked, Liu Ji was mentally prepared to be ridiculed.

Unexpectedly, the person next to him suddenly stopped.

Looking back at him, he said, "Yes."

"W-what?"

Liu Ji's hair stood on end instantly.

He was about to ask her if she was trying to scare him on purpose, but before he could even say the words, a sound of footsteps came from the hillside on the left.

Liu Ji felt numb when he saw the five or six robbers rushing down from the mountain and blocking the front.

There are actually robbers!

It's over, it's over, what should we do now?

Oh my god, they actually have knives in their hands!

"Madam, give them all the money you have on you. Our lives are at stake. I heard that these robbers are only after money. If we take the initiative, we might still have a way out." Liu Ji said tremblingly.

According to common sense, he could still think of this at this time. Although he was very timid, it was already the best way that ordinary people could think of to survive.

But Qin Yao is not within the common sense.

She raised her hand in displeasure, motioning for him to shut up.

Liu Ji looked at the gap behind him and thought that if he turned around and ran away, he might be able to escape because the opponent had no horses.

But before he could take action, Qin Yao had already asked the six robbers on the opposite side: "The one who robbed the road?"

The people on the other side didn't seem to expect that the young couple was quite calm. One of them laughed and said: "My dear, you are not talking nonsense!"

Qin Yao asked again: "Money or life?"

The man opposite laughed arrogantly and walked toward her and Liu Ji. As he walked, he said, "I want money, but I also want life!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two of them raised their swords and started to kill both of her.

They were outnumbered, and they were all desperadoes. They would never make the mistake of leaving someone alive to cause trouble for themselves.

"OK."

Qin Yao understood.

In this case, she no longer has any worries.

His originally calm eyes became extremely sharp. He clenched the knife in his palm and, like lightning, slid the knife horizontally towards the neck of a robber!

Blood spurted out like a torrent, and she turned sideways to avoid it.

The knife in his hand turned into a life-threatening sickle, shuttling between them, simply and quickly, one knife at a time!
