After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 75 Price Increase

“Dad, we can’t separate our families. We have to rely on you and mother to take care of the whole family.

 I will discuss this with the big cow! "The boss Qiu Xiaoshan was the first to stand up and said.

Qiu Xiaochuan and Qiu Xiaohe expressed their opinions one after another and took their respective wives into the house to discuss.

 In the end, the three daughters-in-law took out all their dowries and scraped together a small package of copper coins, silver ornaments, embroidery, and embroidery.

 Lao Qiu took out all the money from the public servant, not even a copper coin was left behind.

The four adult men of the Qiu family quietly left the village carrying burdens.

There were also cries in Bangzi Field outside the village. Although the Qiu family felt sorry for them, they did not say anything to remind the villagers.

The shopkeeper, who was doing the accounting, glanced impatiently at the people crowding the shop.

 In the leeward mountain col, a group of people gathered around a fire to keep warm and have dinner.

A few people nodded secretly, no one dared to say anything, and no one dared to gamble whether it was true or false.

“But that doesn’t mean we were sold!

Xiao Wu, who was sitting at the door of the tent, stared at the small tent not far away through the curtain, his mind spinning rapidly.

"Don't worry about it, Chou is on the run, we can't wait any longer." Xiao Wu said decisively.

 Xiao Wu decided not to wait any longer. He had a bad feeling that he would die if he didn't escape early.

 …

 The searchers reported to an armored man on a tall black horse.

After the handover was completed smoothly, Wang Jiayu took out a thick stack of banknotes and handed them to the armored man who only showed his face.

Several people gathered together secretly nodded in agreement.

 At this time, the three people are all grasshoppers on the same rope.

 Ordinary people who are not familiar with the terrain and have no torch lighting are no match for a group of tigers and wolves.

His hands were quickly tied and strung together in a string, and he was forced back to the mountain col with sharp blades.

 They are all young and middle-aged, and women also buy young and beautiful ones.

The night watchman took out the sword from his waist, opened the tents one by one, and drove out the people hiding inside.

 “Lieutenant, someone has escaped here too!”

 In the dark and unfamiliar with the terrain, the traces of Xiao Wu and his gang were quickly exposed under the torch.

He Qi was so anxious that he had a family to support. Without him as the main labor force, the whole family was waiting to die.

No one would have thought that the Wang family would be bold enough to betray them to the sergeant.

Walk! "

 At the moment, the survival of my family is the most important thing.

 When the night watchman opened a tent and found that no one was inside, he opened the scratched area with a knife.

 As the night progressed, the fire gradually became less intense.

The further north you go, the higher the price of food becomes, but you haven’t sold a single grain. There must be something wrong.

There was a roar in the temporary camp, and Xiao Wu and others who were awake were forced to listen quietly to what was going on outside.

There were less than fifty sergeants, and the sharp points of their spears were pointed at more than 1,500 people on the scene.

 In the middle of the day, Xiao Wu shouldered his burden, cut a gap in the tent, and took the lead to get out first. The rest of the people climbed out, and in the flickering firelight, a small group of people quietly disappeared into the darkness.

 “Get out of here first and get back at all costs.

 “Don’t buy it if it’s too expensive, it will only be available for half a day starting tomorrow.”

 The rapid sound of horse hooves was extremely startling in the silent mountain col, waking up everyone in their sleep.

It is extremely difficult for one person to return from Hewan Prefecture to Jiangfu Plain.

　　After having dinner, a large group of people went into their tents to rest.

 Xiao Wu, He Qi, and Niu Ba were lying at the bottom of the ditch, their eyes were full of cold gleaming blades.

There was a dead head lying at his feet. Niu Dacheng looked at them with a look of reluctance in his eyes.

 Look at my gestures in a moment! "

 …

This was something Xiao Wu didn’t expect. At that time, he only thought that the Wang family would sell a group of them as coolies.

The night watchman gave a sharp shout, and the people behind him pounced on him like wolves and tigers.

 The clerk at the grain store put on a new price tag and loudly announced the price.

 A string of traces in the snow, extremely conspicuous under the firelight.

 Xiao Wu, He Qi, Niu Ba and ten other brothers exchanged glances, and they slowly moved to warm themselves over the fire.

"Search, kill anyone who disobeys the order!" The rough voice revealed endless cruelty.

 This phenomenon is happening all over the north at the same time.

Who would have thought that the Wang family had ulterior motives and sold them to the border army.

 This is something they have never heard of in their many years of business.

 We signed ten-year living deeds and we didn’t sell them to them. "

 “What, how is that possible!” Niu Ba exhaled softly, not believing Xiao Wu’s words at all.

 …

 The night watchman, with more than thirty soldiers, followed the traces with torches.

No matter how dissatisfied people are, they will only sell for half a day. No one dares to confront the grain store at this juncture, so they have to accept their fate and empty their pockets.

 I walked all the way on my feet, and by the end of the day I was so tired that my legs were no longer my own.

 Everyone in the field squatted on the ground and shivered with their heads in their hands, unable to muster the courage to resist.

He Qi said tremblingly as the only sound of breathing was the sound of three people in the audience.

Several black figures followed one after another, disappearing into the snowy night.

 The woman who was bought collapsed on the ground with suppressed cries.

 “Stop!”

 “Little Fifth Brother, what should we do next?”

This is obviously asking them to die!

“I found out early in the morning that half of the food had been consumed.

A group of disheveled people came face to face with the sharp points of spears as soon as they got out of the tent. They trembled and squatted down with their heads in their hands.

 The night watchman sat by the fire and dozed off little by little.

 “Lieutenant, someone has escaped!”

“Why has the price increased again? Black noodles were only 40 cents per liter this morning.” Someone said dissatisfiedly.

I didn’t see him buying any goods, but his servants bought a lot, all of them young men and young women.

"Da da da…"

“Think about it, the only thing you buy on the road is servants.

 Xiao Wu didn't have time to bury Niu Dacheng. After a while, he would count the number of people and would definitely find that the three of them were not there.

These people have followed Wang Xingwang in the caravan for several years, and they have a certain tacit understanding with each other.

“Fifth brother, over this mountain is the border.

If the Wang family did something like this, they would definitely not be able to return home, so what should they do?

 Don’t you think there’s something wrong with this job? "He Qi whispered.

 “Listen to Brother Xiaowu, it’s important that we leave here first.” Niu Ba agreed.

 Further down is the border, which is enough to explain the problem. "Xiao Wu said anxiously.

 “Mom, you’ve been fooled!” Xiao Wu slapped his thigh suddenly and shouted.

The three of them stopped talking and groped towards the other end of the ditch.

 Changes occur only in an instant, and smart people flee in all directions.

 “We were sold!”

 “The stick noodles are 90 Wen per liter, and the black noodles are 60 Wen per liter!”

 He stood up, patted the brothers in the tent awake one by one, and whispered.

Those who have ideas gather into small groups, gather together to eat dinner, brag, and occasionally whisper a few words.

There is no shortage of shrewd people in Dongliu Town, and those who react quickly have surrounded the grain store.

Human life is worthless to this person.

 The Royal Caravan, a long grain transport team crossed the canal plain, getting closer and closer to the border.

 The stubbled face had a hint of smile, he shook the thick banknotes in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

“Yes, I won’t forget the benefits of the Wang family after the matter is completed.”
