Chapter 80: Parted ways
Chapter 80 parted ways
Ye Anlan waved her hands, "It's okay."
Don't you just want to say that she is a young girl, just say it, she is used to it, and it won't affect her anyway.
She asked those people, "I heard that you ran from the deep state?"
The young man headed nodded, "Yes. We were originally ordinary farmers in Shaojiazhuang, Shenzhou. Later, life was really hard, so we dragged our family and ran out."
He introduced himself and said: "My name is Shao Tianqing, and I am a boy. My father is Lizheng of Shaojiazhuang. He is old and not in good health. He will handle trivial matters in my hands."
Ye Anlan raised her eyebrows, "Where Brother Shao plans to take your companions?"
Shao Tianqing hesitated for a moment but said truthfully, "We plan to go to Pingyuan County to join relatives. An aunt in our Shao family married far away in Pingyuan County."
Of course, the point is not that there are relatives there, but that the relatives there are doing well in the local area.
Ninety percent of the villagers in their Shaojiazhuang have the surname Shao, and everyone has a close or distant blood relationship with each other. Except for those who are not willing to go to Pingyuan County with them, the rest of the Shao family, Shao Tianqing and his son, have found a way to bring them along. come out.
If it weren’t for this, they wouldn’t have eaten up all their rations before reaching their destination, and they wouldn’t be treated as a group of refugees who wanted to rob houses by the villages they passed along the way.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that they didn't dare to enter the city, and they couldn't buy food in the surrounding villages, Shao Tianqing and the others wouldn't have rushed to Ye Anlan and the others.
Fortunately, although Ye Anlan asked him about some things, when selling grain to them, no lion opened his mouth.
Of course, Ye Anlan did not become a good person.
She doesn't do business that loses money. Although she sympathizes with Shao Tianqing and the others, she is still hard-hearted and sells part of the money she bought to Shao Tianqing and the others.
As for the salt, Ye Anlan signaled Zheng Fengshou to get a large earthen jar of salt, "We don't have much salt, so I can only sell you ten catties."
Shao Tianqing: He was scared to death. When he heard the first half of the sentence, he thought he couldn't buy it.
"Ten catties is a lot!" Shao Tianqing said this with sincerity, and he bowed deeply to Ye Anlan, "Young lady's kindness, I am very grateful."
After paying Ye Anlan's quotation, Shao Tianqing took the initiative to chat with Ye Anlan.
He first asked Ye Anlan and others about their hometown, and then asked Ye Anlan where they planned to settle down.
Ye Anlan had small calculations in her heart, and she seemed careless, but in fact she leaked a lot of information about her group to the Shao family.
Ye Anlan didn't know how much the other members of the Shao family understood, but she knew that Shao Tianqing was moved by what she said.
For the next few days, the Shao family's team followed Ye Anlan and the others.
With all the swords and sticks, Ye Anlan, who was not easy to mess with, led the way ahead, and the Shao family's team behind them had an unprecedented quiet these days.
The number of refugees who troubled them has decreased dramatically, and the Shao family finally no longer have to worry about it day and night.
The young and middle-aged men who were injured in the battle with the refugees before, as well as the elderly and children who were tired and sick due to the long journey, are taking this opportunity to take a good rest.
Shao Tianqing even took out the coffin book that his father kept privately, and invited Ye Anlan to treat his clansmen's doctors and injuries.
Ye Anlan agreed, but rarely gave these people medicines. Mainly, she didn't actually have much in stock either. Therefore, Ye Anlan would not prescribe any illness that could be cured with silver needles, various home methods, or small folk remedies.
This has led to the fact that every time the Shao family sees her using silver needles, they will subconsciously stare at her closely, for fear that she, a local doctor who can only use local methods and small folk remedies to treat people, will stab their relatives out. Come anyway.
Shao Tianqing talked about his tribe many times in private, but these people have their own logic.
In their words, Ye Anlan is a girl in her teens, how much can she learn no matter how early she studies medicine?
Those well-recognized smart boys in their clan, when they were her age, were still shaking their heads in school to read and write.
Can't this girl be smarter than all the boys in their family?
Not to mention that she is still so good at fighting, even the best Shao Laoqi of their Shao family is her defeat.
Practicing martial arts and studying medicine, is she afraid that she hasn't even memorized a complete book on medical skills?
As for Shao Tianqing's proposal not to go to Pingyuan County, but to follow this girl to other places, several elders of the Shao family even said "ridiculous" together.
No matter how much Shao Tianqing complained about the pros and cons, or how he told them that Ye Anlan's life was not easy and that Pingyuan County was not safe, these stubborn old men were always stubborn.
Ye Anlan has been watching coldly for the past few days, feeling that her little plan may be in vain.
She thought for a while, "Forget it, rushing is not a business, we should stop wasting our relationship with this group of people here."
Yang Xiaotao felt it was a pity, "There are so many young and middle-aged men who can fight."
Ye Anlan smiled, "But there are just as many stubborn old men."
Instead of letting these old guys dictate to her in various ways, she might as well slowly absorb those poor refugees who have nowhere to go as before. At least these people will not disobey discipline and kick her at every turn.
Wanting to understand this, Ye Anlan, who gave up the idea of taking advantage of it, directly proposed to Shao Tianqing to part ways next.
She said: "Then we will go east, and we can no longer go on the same road with you."
Shao Tianqing was taken aback, "So fast?"
He remembered that Ye Anlan said a few days ago that he would go southeast for a while.
Ye Anlan spread his hands, "There is no way, our people just sent back the news that the city gate of Dezhou City has been closed. If you want to enter, no matter adults or children, the soldiers guarding the city will be charged per head Twenty taels of silver to enter the city."
Her current companions are less than two hundred people. If each person is twenty taels, she would hand out nearly four thousand taels of silver to those "rebels" as soon as she passed by. Is she some kind of big spender?
Shao Tianqing frowned when he heard this, "I'm not staying in the city for a long time, but I just pass by and I still need to collect money?"
"No one told you about this." Ye Anlan quickly broke Shao Tianqing's unrealistic fantasy, "They are only responsible for collecting money based on the head. As for whether you want to stay for a long time or pass by, they are not interested at all. And there is another point, I I think you'd better not think too much about the situation in Texas City, even if you are willing to pay the city fee, your life may not be better than staying outside after you enter."
This is not her alarmist talk. Judging from the current situation, the current leader of Dezhou City is obviously not a person of insight who is dedicated to the people. Just looking at this guy's crazily money-making posture, Ye Anlan can also guess that this guy is definitely not a good cake.
