Chapter 126: Finding Things Still Depends on the Aunts
Su He helped Liu Bai tie up the people, and saw several strong men with their backs to Liu Bai giving the people electric shocks.
Since Liu Bai didn't say anything, she became bolder.
When Wang Zhi and Dali and a few others arrived, the dozens of people in the conference room were handed over to them. Su He and Liu Bai said they were going to look for the fish that had slipped through the net, and the two of them walked all the way inside.
"Are there any horses in this valley?"
"Yes, I smell it."
taste?
Su He took a few deep breaths, but smelled nothing.
Because she was short, she didn’t notice the smile in Liu Bai’s eyes.
"Where do you think they keep the food? In the cellar? In the valley?"
Su He didn't care where the horse was, she just wanted to know if there was any food.
"A cave."
"What?"
Su He looked in the direction Liu Bai's finger was pointing, and saw a cave not far away with a faint light inside.
"Wait here for me. I'll go see if there's anyone inside."
Su He nodded obediently, not feeling offended by the servant at all. It felt great to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
Buying Liu Niang and Liu Bai was the best deal she had ever made in her life.
While Su He was alone, she drank some hot water from the space to warm herself up, and ate some dried sweet potatoes to replenish her strength.
When she saw Liu Bai at the entrance of the cave, she ran over happily chewing dried sweet potatoes.
"No one's inside. I checked."
"Xiaobai, good job."
Su He gave Liu Bai a thumbs up and couldn't wait to go in and observe.
This cave is quite large, and I don't know how it was maintained. It's very dry inside. After walking a dozen steps inside and turning a corner, I saw food. Bags of food were neatly stacked. Su He had been a farmer for several years, and he estimated the weight himself. This bag weighed about 80 kilograms. Calculating the amount of food that could be seen, there were about to bags, which was kilograms.
"Is this all the food and salary? That's too stingy."
Su He muttered doubtfully.
"He was sent away."
Liu Bai talked a lot today.
"Where can it be sent?"
"The bulk of them should have been dealt with, and the rest will probably be dealt with soon. There is a drought in the north, and food is very valuable."
You know quite a lot.
Su He glanced at Liu Bai and asked, "How do you know it's food and wages?"
"The food and salary bags from the south have a word 'Chen' on the outside. The bags for food and salary from each place are slightly different. The bags here are from 'Yunhe', so there is a word 'Yun' on the inside."
Su He walked to the front and searched the bag. There was a traditional Chinese character "Chen" in the lower left corner of the bag.
"So when are you leaving for the border?"
"Now, this valley is temporarily safe. You wait for the main force to arrive, and I will return alone."
Su He didn't say anything to persuade him to stay, but just gave him 30 taels of silver, and also allowed him to eat and drink along the way.
"Give me five taels, that's enough."
Liu Bai looked at the bag of silver in surprise. He didn't expect Su He to be so generous.
"When you're away from home, you're poor at home and rich on the road. The drought has certainly increased the price of food, so you can keep it first and return the unspent food to me when you come back."
Liu Bai took it and said, "I'm leaving. Do you want to return with me?"
"No, go ahead, I'll go back by myself later."
Su He waved at Liu Bai, signaling him to hurry up.
"and many more."
Su He stopped Liu Bai who was about to leave, walked forward, cut a bag with a knife, took out a piece of cloth from his arms, poured all the rice on it, and then threw the bag of food and salary to Liu Bai.
"Here, this is evidence. As soon as the sun rises, we will set off according to the original itinerary. You can come find us then. Liu Niang, come with us."
"Okay, be careful."
Liu Bai packed the bag and put it in his arms, then left without asking any more questions.
Su He and the others went and checked the entire cave. After confirming that there was only food, they picked up two bags of rice nearby and put them into the space.
She didn't want to embezzle the food and wages, but she was afraid that Liu Bai would lose the bags, so she took two for herself as backup. The more than 100 kilograms of food would not be enough, and she gave so many sweet potatoes to the border for free, so she didn't feel guilty taking the more than 100 kilograms.
After harvesting the grain, she took a flashlight and went back. It was too dark in here and Liu Bai was not there, so she felt a little nervous being alone.
Su He didn't know that Liu Bai was worried that there were still some fish that slipped through the net, so before leaving, he searched all the houses in the valley and left with peace of mind.
When she entered the conference room, dozens of people had already been tied up, and Wang Bin and Wang Sheng were sitting there watching.
"We have found the food. It was meant to be sent to the soldiers at the border. We cannot take it. But according to my guess, there must be silver in the house. Now you can form teams of three and look around. Half of the silver you find will be handed over and the other half will be yours."
"In the future, our three villages will merge into one big family, and the silver you hand in will be used to buy family land for us."
Wang Zhi jumped up and said, "Then I'll go to the next room. Brother Bin, Brother Sheng, do you want to go?"
Wang Bin and the other man stood up and followed them. Dali and Erli smiled at each other and found Wang Liang to form a team.
The remaining few people also looked for their teammates and rushed out.
Su He didn't go because she was worried about the people in the valley.
Just at this time everyone left, and she began to check the ropes on these people, watching the tall and strong man pick up the electric baton and give them a few more hits.
After checking all 86 people, she sat bored in her seat eating jerky while waiting for everyone to arrive.
"Look at my luck. If I look for it again, I can earn enough money to marry a wife."
Wang Zhi next door was shocked and jumped for joy when he found 10 taels of silver.
Su He was drinking milk tea and felt that at this moment all he needed was a cell phone to take a photo as a souvenir.
Thinking of this, she actually took out her cell phone and took a picture of the group of people in the room, with the note: to commemorate the day of lying down.
Half an hour later, Su He heard Zhou's voice and she ran out happily.
"Aunts, we've been waiting for you to come and find the treasure. Cousin Zhi found 10 taels of silver, and Erli found a silver bracelet."
Yes, after all the trouble, this is all.
I don’t know how many acres of land these 15 taels can buy.
"A bunch of brats, none of them are useful. Sisters, let's go!"
Zhou stood in front with her hands on her hips, followed by Jin and others. Su He looked carefully and found that Wen Niang and Juhua were also there.
"Guihua, you and Yuzhen go to the first room, Wenniang and Juhua go to the second one..."
"When you're looking for it, think about where you would hide your own private money. If you can't find it, think about whether the head of the family hid it to prepare for marrying a second wife. Look carefully at it. How much land we can buy in Su'an in the future depends on you!"
Su He quickly added, "Whoever finds it can take half. The half that is handed in can be used to buy clan land. The harvested grain can be sold for silver to help our little radish head learn to read and write. Dear aunts, whether our radish head will work in the fields or sit in the restaurant to settle accounts in the future is up to you."
Everyone became excited listening to Zhou's words, and Su He's words made them even more excited. Literacy, how could they, the peasants, dare to dream about it? There was only one student in three villages.
"Come on, Yuzhen, we have to break every tile and see how it goes. I've brought the oil lamp with me, so hurry up."
When Jin thought about the little Shitou who was already born and Zhier who was about to get married, her heart was filled with warmth.
All the aunts rolled up their sleeves and rushed into the house.
