Chapter 319: Good Luck Comes in Waves

The other men were silent.

They could all tell that they were not a group of people, so how could the yamen runners not hear that?

It looked like they were going to be tortured into confessing.

However, "These people deserved their punishment, so who cares!"

"It's fine if they are arrested, so they won't have to cause trouble to the neighbors in the future."

"That's good too, they may not be able to get out after being locked up, and we don't have to worry about them targeting our village again!"

.....

Thinking that the villains who targeted them were dealt with smoothly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When Fan Erzhu and the other two heard that no one was targeting the village, the big stone in their hearts fell, and they were immediately relieved.

"Let's go, let's go back to the village quickly, and when I get home I must pick some leaves and take a good bath to get rid of the bad luck!"

"I'm so unlucky today, I didn't get anything good, and I was scared for nothing!"

The three of them complained, they only had a bamboo basket on their backs, and there was nothing in it, so they stood up and walked in front.

Fan Jin vacated a cart early, arranged the man with a leg injury to sit on the cart, and arranged for the men to take turns pulling the cart.

Hu Wenhua and others who had injured their hands and backs did not sit, but walked quietly behind the car.

They did not feel unlucky, but just felt that the world was bad. If they encountered inaction, they would have to risk their lives to make a living in the predicament.

This was expected in the past.

This time, thanks to Uncle Ding, he found it early and saved them money to buy medicine. They did not have to spend money to buy medicine. They were only injured and suffered a little pain.

This was a blessing in disguise.

As for what they got, they did not dare to think about it, and it was impossible.

The two brothers Hong Mancang pulled the cart and walked at the end. While no one was paying attention, Hong Mancang quietly left the team. After a while, he returned and stuffed a bunch of things into the cart and covered it tightly with oilcloth.

When they returned to the village, as soon as they entered the village gate, Fan Qian and the other three walked back quickly, saying bad luck, as if there was something unclean chasing them from behind.

Li Wen was so angry that he kept humming. All the men in the team couldn't help cursing.

After waiting until the three people were out of sight, Li Wen signaled to the whole team: "Go to my house first, I have something to say!"

The injured man wanted to say that if there was anything, he could talk about it another day, but when he heard Li Wen add that it was about the money to buy medicine, he immediately shut up and followed.

The goods could not be piled in the yard, so the cart stopped at the door of the old village chief's yard.

After everyone came in, Li Wen walked to the door of the yard to guard it, and Fan Xiaoliu and Wu Gousheng were the ones in the front.

Except for Fan Jinding and Li Hu Wenhua, the others were confused and looked at the two people under the eaves.

What does it mean?

Fan Xiaoliu laughed and took out a cloth bag from his arms, and Wu Gousheng did the same. The two lowered their voices and told the whole story, and finally said: "It only cost a few taels of silver to buy medicine. I estimated that there are still fifty or sixty taels!"

There was a gasp!

Fifty or sixty taels of silver? Those bandits are too good at robbing, how can they be so rich!

"There are almost fifty of us, and each of us can get at least one or two taels of silver. But should we divide the remaining silver or use it for other purposes?"

After Fan Xiaoliu asked, the others in the yard were stunned for a while. What does it mean?

What should we do with the remaining silver? What can we do? They all looked at Fan Xiaoliu, and an anxious man asked: "Liuzi, if you have any ideas, just tell us directly, otherwise we can't guess."

Fan Xiaoliu did have an idea. This was something he had always wanted to do in the past, but at that time he had no silver and no opportunity, so he couldn't even mention it.

But today is different. This silver is unexpected wealth, and the people in the village are not so poor that they can't eat or wear warm clothes. After solving the problem of food and clothing, he feels that he can put his previous ideas into action.

He looked at the man in the yard and said, "We are getting better and better now. We have enough food and clothing. Today's money is unexpected. It's good to give each person one tael of silver.

I thought why not use the remaining ten taels of silver to host a banquet for everyone in the village? It can be for the New Year or festivals, or worshiping ancestors or harvests. Let's have a good meal for a day. How about it?"

"Okay! I agree!"

"I agree too!"

The voices of approval were unexpected by Fan Xiaoliu. Finally, a slightly old voice came: "I agree too."

Fan Xiaoliu suddenly turned around and saw the old village chief coming out of the main hall. He was very excited: "Old village chief, do you agree with my idea?"

The old village chief nodded affirmatively.

Pork belly costs more than 30 wen per pound, lean meat costs more than 20 wen per pound, and pork bones and offal are even cheaper. A pig costs four or five taels of silver. Vegetables don't cost silver. After the price of coarse grains has increased, it costs eight or nine wen per pound. Ten taels of silver can even hold two or three banquets!

Fan Xiaoliu begged: "Old village chief, can I give you the extra money for safekeeping? When the day is right for the banquet, I will collect the money from you. I feel most at ease with you keeping it!"

"I feel most at ease too."

"Old village chief, please take care of it."

Ding Heli looked at the scene in front of him and whispered to the two people beside him: "It seems that Shanshui Village is becoming more and more united."

Unity is good. It is much safer to work together than to fight alone.

After all, in dangerous situations like the one on the way back to the city, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't beat more than 30 men with sticks and knives!

Fan Jin's eyes were gentle and he nodded softly.

He hoped that the people in the village would stick together and unite, otherwise they would be scattered without the need for refugees to attack.

Just like his eldest brother and two nephews.

Under the eaves, the old village chief began to distribute silver, one tael of silver per person.

When it came to Fan Jinding and Li Hu Wenhua, the three did not take it and directly added it to the deposit for the banquet.

The eyes of the men in the yard were moved.

Feng Da, Feng Er, Hong Mancang and Hong Manku each received one tael of silver. When the old village chief called their names, the four subconsciously turned their heads to look at Fan Jin.

Li Wen and others hurriedly said, "You worked hard and got injured, this is what you deserve!"

The four still looked at Fan Jin, without moving their feet. Fan Jin smiled and nodded. The four just smiled and took the silver from the old village chief and thanked him happily.

They didn't expect to go out and earn one tael of silver all at once!

Feng Da was injured, but at this moment he felt that the injury was worth it, otherwise he would not feel at ease taking this silver.

Hong Mancang thought of the knife, and hurried to where he was standing, opened the big bag of things wrapped in oilcloth, and said to Li Wen happily: "Brother Li, Brother Wang Ba, look, I did it!"

Wang Lao Ba:... Please call me Lao Ba, he doesn't need a honorific title.

On the way back, the men in the village thought that it was good not to have to pay for medicine. When they arrived at the yard, they found out that they could also share silver, and each person could get one or two taels!

There was also extra silver left for the whole village to celebrate.

They thought this was already the best thing that could not be better, but there were still more than a dozen big knives waiting for them?

Oh my God, what kind of shit luck did they have, why did good luck come one after another!
