t ease only when you all arrive and settle down. Also, Auntie, please call me Jiner from now on. I'm your junior in the martial arts world through Jiaren, and also a younger generation of your family....Everyone was silent, privately hoping that the Li family would use their money to help everyone pass the exam. However, their conscience told them that there was no reason for the Li family to empty their coffers and contribute so generously.

Only then did Lao Er open his mouth. 。On that day, a good person indeed gifted Funiu a set of gold ornaments. At the time, the village head and Zhao Shu were also there... 。“Why don’t we let the village head speak How about that jewelry”

The village head’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, he took his pipe and lit it for everyone, his face full of frustration.

A bunch of idiots, what are you living for, just wasting food. 。Did some people's provocations sway you I was right there that day. The valuable jewelry the generous person gifted to Fu Niu wouldn't weigh more than seven or eight taels. Even if it were exchanged for silver, it would only be worth seventy or eighty taels at most. That would be enough for the entire Li family to get through this hardship. 。"That's it!" Zhao Shu and several others were furious, angrily rebuking the crowd. "If you want to take things from the Li family, fine! Then let the Li family leave first, and we'll all just wait here." 。Let's see when those soldiers at the city gate will have a change of heart and let us pass. 。Everyone's faces changed color, they were all counting on the Li family to escape together and survive. 。

Li Jia really abandoned them, what are they going to do

Someone immediately glared at the young daughter-in-law and started scolding, "If you can speak, speak up. If you can't, shut your mouth!"

You keep eyeing the jewelry of children, how come you didn't offer your daughter's bracelet 。"She couldn't bear to, she still depended on eating and drinking from others, saving her own for later." 。For a moment, the young daughter-in-law became the target of everyone's anger, and she cried even harder. 。Jia Yin rolled her eyes, she really wished she could spit in her face. 。If you dare to covet her gold, be careful of a hailstorm that will send your whole family to meet the King of Hell, ensuring every last one of you goes down. 。The daughter-in-law's husband was an honest man, pulled the daughter-in-law back to the rear. 。The village head let out a cold snort, turning to the Li family. 。"Big sister, the second, third, and fourth sons, don't take this to heart. 。Everyone knows how your family is doing. 。"I was just being rash and stupid a moment ago. There won't be another time like this, or else I'll personally boil him alive in the smoking pot!" He glared fiercely at the villagers. 。The villagers instinctively shrank their necks, smiling awkwardly and guiltily. 。Lao Li refused to speak, still holding a grudge in her heart. 。Li Lao'er said, "Uncle, this city gate definitely can't be passed, we'll have to think of another way." 。And what if others follow suit, and every city starts demanding road tolls That would be a real problem. 。"No way Don't they fear retribution from the imperial court" "At this point, who cares about the imperial court! Besides, as long as those imperial officials come, we just won't pay them!" 。In troubled times, who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to make more money 。Old Li Er shook his head. Everyone still wanted to speak, but suddenly it began to rain from the sky. 。Growing rapidly from small to large, everyone scattered like a swarm of bees, and started looking for oil felt to shelter from the rain. 。The grain in one house was wet, and the clothes bundles were left uncovered. Everything was in disarray for a time. 。The Li family was a bit better off because they had little Jia Yin. Every time they went camping, Old Li wouldn't mind the trouble of setting up a simple tent. 。The only problem was that the shed was a bit small. With the whole family, including Zhao Shu and several others crammed in, it became very crowded. 。But in the chill of autumn rain, it was surprisingly warm. 。The rain outside was pouring, and with no one else around, Li La Er asked. 。"Mother, are we the only ones going south" The previous incident had chilled many of their family members. Now everyone's gaze was fixed on Madam Li... 。If you want to break up with the villagers, this is a good time. 。 Li Laotai held her granddaughter, tugging at her little dress and sighing softly. 。"No, let's not even talk about the dangers of the road. Traveling with companions is safer." 。...that the villagers, when Liu's family was robbed of their grain before, still had many who risked their lives to protect our family... 。We should not abandon them at this time and make our way south alone. That would be wrong. 。"

Li Laoer nodded, he thought so too. " 。It's not like we're in a dire situation. To protect our family, I just have to be selfish. 。Now it's just a city gate that can't be passed, let's think of a way. 。Besides, just as he worried, what if every city gate has to be bought in the future 。Their Li family doesn't have that kind of money either, they can pass every time. 。Perhaps it's best not to accept such a threatening ultimatum from the start...At this time, Li Lao Si said, "Mother, second brother, I have an idea" 。Let's go over the mountains and around the county!

Over the mountains Everyone looked at him, their eyes lighting up. 。They were also frantic just now, their minds muddled. How could they not have thought of going over the mountain 。The city of Jin'an County is located between two mountains, acting as a strategic chokepoint. 。Since we can't get through, climbing over the mountain is definitely a good option. 。"Are you familiar with the nearby mountains and forests How many mountains would it take to go around the county" Uncle Zhao's face was a bit grim as he asked seriously. 。Li Lao Si was so excited that he didn't react and just said 。"I had passed this way with Liu the head鏢師 before, and he did say a few things about it. " 。Behind us is this mountain. Climb over it, and there's another one, a bit taller. 。As long as we pass through all of them, we can bypass the county town, and the foot of the mountain is the official road. 。Everyone was happy. “That’s great! Climbing a mountain is troublesome, but it’s better than being stuck here.” 。"Old Li San frowned and said, 'Crossing the mountains probably won't allow for donkeys or mule carts.' " 。Everyone felt a little reluctant, especially Old Li. All her household belongings were on the cart after all. 。Without a car, most of the time the children and grandchildren would have to walk or carry things on their backs. 。"Go talk to the village head." 。Li Lao'er suggested, and after everyone nodded in agreement, he went out despite the light rain. 。Soon, the village head was called over. He didn't feel too bad about losing the donkey cart, he just sighed. 。"That's all we can do. If we delay any longer, more people will arrive, and things could get out of hand." 。< Let's hit the road sooner, there are only benefits and no downsides > 。That's it for this matter. 。The rain outside had lessened a bit, so everyone dispersed to notify the villagers. 。Li Laosan brought his family members, Jia Ren and Jia Yi, to chop down two small trees with wrists-thick trunks near their home. They used ropes to bind them together and quickly made two simple sleds. 。Although he was taciturn, he was very observant. He noticed that the several elderly gentlemen with Zhao Shu's legs weren't looking well and guessed they were worried about climbing the mountain, so he came up with this idea...Jia Yin sat in the shed watching the commotion, her heart couldn't help but like San Bo even more. 。Such a silent, kind, and gentle man, your third aunt really has good taste! Zhao Yuru happened to come over, took her handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her husband's brow, just about to speak, she turned around and saw her niece's eyes sparkling. For some reason, she suddenly blushed... Soon, everyone knew that they would be climbing a mountain tomorrow. 。Some were worried, some were afraid, but the entire village, young and old, went together. After all, they had found their courage. 。To be frank, every household's steamed buns and parcels are going to be simplified again. 。 It's better to travel on flat ground than over mountains, and too many belongings are a burden... After all the commotion, when everyone finally fell asleep, it was already two o'clock in the morning. 。A night without dreams, upon waking, the sky washed clean by the autumn rain shone a dazzling blue. 。Everyone had gathered their things and assembled in one place. 。The village head reminded them once more, and seeing that nothing seemed amiss, he waved his hand to signal their departure. 。At this time, the young daughter-in-law who had demanded money from the Li family yesterday pulled her husband and child out. 。a treasure chest!"The other classmates also nodded. Ten taels of silver for a watermelon It's not even worth mentioning, it doesn't require many varieties, just plant a few acres a year, and that's t...
