Chapter 63 Robbery
Qin Zhi has been away from home for a few days and doesn't know what the situation is outside now.
Just as he was thinking, Shen Bi secretly climbed over the wall. Just as he was about to jump down, he ran into a boy who was looking for a toilet while holding his wound. The boy looked at Shen Bi jokingly, left a word of rudeness, and continued to look for his toilet.
Shen Bi was so angry that her teeth itched when she heard this. She cursed at his back, "You are just a three-foot-tall dwarf. Why are you pretending to be so noble?"
The figure shook for a moment and then continued walking.
"Cousin, please stop making personal attacks. You came at the right time. I have something to talk to you about." Qin Zhi happened to see the two people arguing.
Shen Bi pursed her lips and asked, "What good thing can I have for you?"
"Grandpa goes to town to sell vegetables every day. Have you heard him say anything different about the town these past two days?"
"Grandpa went to sell vegetables today, and later brought them back intact. Grandpa said that we have to be checked when we go to the town now. Not only that, each person has to pay 20 cents for the entrance fee. Farmers can't even earn 10 cents a day, so where can they get 20 cents to pay the entrance fee?" Shen Bi sighed.
"I'm going back soon. Don't tell anyone that you saw us here." Qin Zhi said.
Seeing Shen Bi's serious expression, Shen Zhi quickly nodded in agreement.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Qin Zhi got up and put on makeup to look like an old man, drawing thick eyebrows and sticking on a long beard, still looking the same.
Qin Zhi made the young man look like an old woman, but he kept pouting in dissatisfaction.
"Don't be picky. With your height, can you pretend to be an old man?" Qin Zhi had to retort him. Why was this man so hesitant?
Qin Zhi took him to the carriage that had been released from the space long ago. As usual, Qin Zhi drove the carriage and the young man sat in the carriage.
The carriage slowly returned to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain before dawn. Qin Zhi took him quietly into the basement, and their arrival immediately woke up everyone in the basement.
"Zhuge Ling, are you Zhuge Ling?" Mr. Sun exclaimed.
The boy nodded.
Mr. Sun continued excitedly: "The emperor ordered us to secretly rescue Mr. Zhuge, but I didn't expect you to escape safely."
Zhuge Ling pointed at Qin Zhi and said, "She was the one who got me out."
Everyone was stunned.
"Mr. Sun, I just cured his intestinal abscess. I'll leave him here to recuperate. Please prescribe some medicine for him.
"Intestinal abscess?" Mr. Sun almost suspected that he had heard it wrong. Intestinal abscess could actually be cured.
Qin Zhi nodded, "His intestines are damaged. Cut off a piece and it will heal soon."
Zhuge Ling...
Your intestines are damaged.
After Qin Zhi came out of the basement, he went to the kitchen to prepare a rich and nutritious breakfast for his family.
I heated up some fresh goat milk for my aunt, steamed two fresh meat buns, and washed some sour plums. My aunt had morning sickness and always liked to eat something sour. On the way to rescue Zhuge Ling, Qin Zhi encountered a lot of sour fruits, so he picked some and saved them in the space.
I also made some leek pancakes for others and cooked some coarse-grain porridge.
The family members got up one after another, and everyone felt particularly satisfied while eating the delicious food.
"Mom, I heard from the head of the village that it's very chaotic outside these days. If you don't have anything to do, don't go out and just stay at home." Qin Zhi finished his breakfast, sat there and started talking to his family.
"Really? No wonder the village head told us not to run around when I ran into him that day. Xiaozhi, I haven't seen you these days. Where have you been?" Qin Zhen looked up and said.
Qin Zhi often ran around outside, Shen and Qin Zhen knew about it and knew that she could protect herself, but Ah Si and the third uncle and his wife were worried.
"As for me, I went to the mountains to collect herbs," Qin Zhi lied.
"There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, so you should go there less often in the future," my uncle's wife advised with a distressed look on her face.
Qin Zhi agreed with a smile, and handed another piece of cake to his uncle's wife, asking her to eat more.
My third uncle and his wife used to drink two meals of thin porridge a day in Shenjia Village. After coming here, they ate good food with meat and eggs. They have become much rounder and their complexions have become more rosy.
Qin Zhi plans not to go out for a while. It's time to enjoy the pastoral life at home.
After lunch, Qin Zhi carried a shovel and followed his uncle to the dry land he had just bought a few days ago. In the past few days, his uncle had basically turned the soil over.
I plan to plant potatoes in the ground today.
The temperature in Qingzhou Prefecture is relatively high in winter, so if you plant at this time, you can harvest before the New Year.
Third Uncle put down the backpack filled with potatoes. These potatoes had been cut into pieces by Qin Zhi in advance, and each piece had sprouts on it.
Qin Zhi and his third uncle worked together, one planting and the other filling the soil, and soon they finished planting all the potatoes they brought.
After planting potatoes, Qin Zhi and his uncle packed up and headed home. When they were almost home, they saw Liu and Qin Erzhu standing at the door of their house. Liu's mouth kept opening and closing, while Qin Erzhu stood there silently, occasionally answering. Not long after, Liu smiled and left with her purse in her hands. Qin Erzhu did not go home, but walked to the Qin family's land.
Qin Zhi had a cold face, and when he looked at his third uncle, his face was as black as ink.
"Uncle San, just pretend that you didn't see anything happen today. Let him do whatever he wants. Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost, and not showing mercy will only lead to his own destruction." Qin Zhi had seen this for so many years and was already disheartened.
After returning home, Qin Zhi found Shen, who was drawing patterns. She had already made clothes for her unborn nephew.
"Mom, where's my dad?" Qin Zhi sat down next to Shen and looked at the pattern Shen had already drawn. Shen was talented in this area. The flowers she drew were lifelike and each one was shy.
Shen looked up at Qin Zhi and said with a smile, "Your father said his legs are much better. He is too tired to sit at home every day without working, so he went to walk around in the fields."
"Mom, where is the kingfisher hairpin I gave you last time? Today I suddenly realized that my mom has become more beautiful, but too plain. If we put on that kingfisher hairpin, I'm afraid we will be more beautiful than the Queen Mother."
"It's in the dressing box. Wait a minute, I'll get it." After saying that, Shen went back to the bedroom to get the dressing box.
When the two opened the dressing box, it was empty, even the gold earrings Qin Zhi bought for her a few days ago were gone.
Shen was shocked, "Where did all those jewelry go? They were still there when I saw them last night." Shen was so anxious that she almost cried. Those were all given to her by her daughter. In that age of hunger, gold was so precious, and she actually lost them.
"Mother, can you please check if your money is still there?"
Shen quickly took out a jar from under the bed, opened the lid and found it was empty.
It was robbed.
Shen sat down on the ground, feeling very cold. It was hot, and she and her children worked hard to sell ice jelly to earn money. This money was the dowry money she left for her children. Who was so wicked that he stole all her belongings? Shen wanted to catch the thief and skin him alive.
