MTL - The Reborn Lady is Farming-Chapter 1397 Extra 范子 衿 (14)
There are also several gangs among the refugees. Usually, fellow villagers get together to support and help each other.
The two little thieves came from Xingyuan Mansion. They followed their families to the south three years ago to avoid the disaster. But during the escape, their parents, brothers and sisters died of starvation and illness. They were the only ones who came here alive. .
They came here three years ago, but they have only been on the road for three years. Don’t look at them like twenty-year-olds, but in fact, they are only sixteen years old this year, and they look old because they are tired.
Their parents starved to death on the road and survived by pulling from their fellow villagers, so when they grew up, they had to take care of those younger than them or those who were old and powerless.
According to the account of the two of them, there were about 300 people who escaped from Xingyuan Mansion, but they left here with their families and their families, and there were many who were overwhelmed and left. Now they are the only people left. If They also left, and most of those children and old people can't survive.
It’s not that no one has ever been beaten to death or injured for stealing, but compared to starvation, the fear of being beaten to death seems to have become smaller.
But no matter how young they were, they didn't want to die. They looked at the two teenagers pitifully, and only hoped that they would be merciful and let them go.
Qi Haoran ignored them. Fan Zijin had a low-grade fever. He knocked them out and tucked them under the bed. He opened the door and asked Xiao Er to ask the doctor for help. Then he brought hot porridge to Fan Zijin to eat.
Fan Zijin waved his claws, took the bowl himself, and said, "Don't be kind, even if what they say is true, it's none of our business. At most, we let people go and don't investigate the matter."
Qi Haoran scratched his head and nodded heavily.
Fan Zijin has always been cautious. Now that he is sick and staying here, he is naturally unwilling to let people go and reveal the news, so the two of them have been locked in the house. Qi Haoran loosens them from time to time. Seeing that the two young masters did not intend to kill them, they were very obedient and did not cry or make trouble, and sometimes took the initiative to serve Fan Zijin who was sick.
There is no way, Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran are both people who have to stretch their hands and eat to open their mouths. Now that he is sick, he has to boil medicine and drink water from time to time, and pay attention to cooling down. Qi Haoran is very busy.
The two little thieves had experience in taking care of children, and after trembling to serve twice, Qi Haoran simply loosened the tie and made it easier for them to take care of them.
Fan Zijin raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw that they didn't call or run away. He had a better impression of them. After thinking about it, he took out two large silver ingots from his purse and threw them to them, saying, "My cousin and I went out without taking them with me. Man, now I'm sick again, if you take good care of you, these two pieces of silver will be rewarded to you, if you have other crooked thoughts," he said with a faint smile: "You have also seen my cousin's ability. You shouldn't want to meet again, right?"
The two shuddered and shook their heads.
Fan Zijin was satisfied, pointed to the medicine bag on the table and said, "Go and boil the medicine."
He really didn't want to see the house full of smoke anymore, he would have been killed by Qi Haoran even if he didn't die of illness.
One of the thieves hesitated to get the medicine jar. Seeing that the two young masters had no objection, he immediately took the medicine bag and went out, while the other consciously stayed behind to take care of Fan Zijin.
Fan Zijin said to Qi Haoran privately, "If they just make corrections, that's fine. If they still have crooked thoughts, you can't be merciful."
Qi Haoran nodded solemnly, Fan Zijin went to sleep and recuperate in peace, he was groggy all day, and he was always hanging on this matter in his heart, and he couldn't rest well at all.
The two little thieves seemed to take care of them and followed them behind them, and they huddled in their chairs when they slept at night, not daring to make any changes.
Fan Zijin's illness caused them to stay in the town for three days, and the two little thieves neither went back to tip off the news, and no one came to them, Fan Zijin couldn't help but asked curiously: "If you don't go back, they don't worry either. Are you?"
The two little thieves said calmly: "They may think that we are gone, and we usually don't look for those who leave. If something goes wrong, the town is so big, and they will definitely hear the wind."
Fan Zijin nodded knowingly. The two hardly passed by outside. Their accomplices probably thought they could not bear the pressure and left.
At this time, he felt sympathy for them, and suggested: "You can't go on like this, you can't even support yourself by doing odd jobs, let alone raising so many children and elderly people, stealing for a while, and accidents will inevitably happen over time. , didn't you also say that someone was caught and killed for stealing?"
Both little thieves lowered their heads and said nothing. This was the best way they could think of to save most of them.
"There are only two ways for you to survive. One is to buy property here and have a long-term livelihood, and the other is to continue to migrate to the west or south, where there are fewer wars than the north, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. , maybe find a way to survive."
The eyes of the two teenagers were red, and they said in a low voice, "Young Master, we can't do both. The former requires a lot of money, and the latter, we have no food, and rushing to migrate will only cause more deaths and injuries."
Their previous experience is an example. They escaped from Xingyuan Mansion to Jiangnan, and nearly two-thirds of their people died along the way.
Fan Zijin frowned, Qi Haoran tugged at his sleeve and pointed to his chest.
Fan Zijin frowned even more and said in disapproval, "You can't even support yourself, why are you still thinking about losing money?"
Qi Haoran looked very open, shook his head and said, "I'll come back after all the money is gone, don't think that I'm not capable of making money now, how can I know that I won't be able to be rich in the future?"
Fan Zijin sneered and said, "Whenever you can save one hundred taels of silver, I will believe what you said today."
Qi Haoran immediately patted his chest and hinted, "There are more than one hundred taels here."
"That's not what you earned. Uncle must discount your legs if you know that you stole so much money."
"Of course I earned what came into my hands," Qi Haoran lowered his voice and said, "It's a windfall, we've been delayed here for so many days, what do you think are the chances of us being captured?"
Fan Zijin's heart jumped.
Qi Haoran continued: "If we are unfortunately caught, do you think we can keep the money?"
Fan Zijin felt a little guilty, because they delayed their trip because of his illness. They stayed here for three days, buying clothes, shoes and socks, and buying medicine to see the doctor. They left too many traces. was discovered.
"My eldest brother and I definitely have no share of the money in my father's hand. Since it is all reserved for Qi Shaosheng and Qi Shaotai, then I will not spend it for nothing, it is better to use the money to do something good before they find us, it is for us anyway. Accumulate good fortune."
Fan Zijin felt a little distressed when he thought of the first-base silver bill, "That can't be so loose."
can also be used on yourself.
Qi Haoran never paid attention to personal enjoyment. He strongly persuaded him: "It's better than being copied by my father. If he takes the money away, it will be in Wu's hands."
