Chapter 6 Leaving Home

As for plundering, that is definitely Xiao Youfu's strength.

  After all, this is his job.

  Unexpectedly, the harvest was beyond his expectation.

  When he returned home, he saw that his mother and daughter were so frightened that they were as frightened as a frightened bird when they heard the sound of him entering the door.

  He threw the package on the ground and offered the treasure with dancing eyebrows: "Fortunately, I went, and I really gained a lot!"

  The package was made of old blue sheets. After unfolding it, he saw three bows and more than ten bows inside. An arrow is in a quiver.

  Salt, iron, and weapons were scarce in every dynasty, and the prices were also relatively expensive.

  Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up. This bow has a small tip and a reverse bow. It has a short body, is light in weight, and has a range of fifty or sixty meters. It is definitely a must-have weapon when going out.

  Moreover, the arrow head is made of sharp iron, which makes it more lethal.

  In addition, there are more than ten silver ingots worth one tael, silver melon seeds worth one penny, and some copper plates.

  There was also a small jar, and I didn't know what was in it.

  In addition, a bow and arrow costs at least seven or eight taels of silver, which adds up to a lot of money.

  Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up and she sighed unconsciously: "No wonder many people like to go to the mountains and weeds. It turns out that robbing houses can really make a fortune!"

  Xiao Lian glared at her sister with disgust: "What are you talking about?"

  But she went to pick a bow first . , shook her head, and checked the bowstring again: "It looks better than the fifth master's bow, and it's not heavy either. We sisters can use it."

  She was also very happy. Now that she has a weapon, she feels more secure.

  Shuikou Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so instead of spring plowing and autumn harvest, everyone goes into the mountains to hunt with bows and arrows.

  If you encounter a wild boar, you must run away. Most of the time, you can hunt rabbits or pheasants, and you can also add meat and vegetables.

  Unfortunately, Ms. Liu didn't want her daughters to go hunting, so she didn't buy bows and arrows for the family.

  They can only occasionally borrow other people's bows and arrows to enjoy themselves.

  Xiao Youfu was more knowledgeable than his daughter: "This should be a bow made of eucalyptus wood, with strings of beef tendon. It's not bad."

  After saying that, he said to Liu: "It's almost the end of the afternoon, and it's just drizzle outside. Let's leave as soon as possible. " Right?"

  At the end of Shen Shi, which was four o'clock in the afternoon, I waited for all my belongings to be loaded onto the boat, and then rowed out. It took me almost two hours to reach the other side of the reservoir.

  "Okay, the important items have been packed away. We can leave now." Ms. Liu really didn't want to stay at home for a moment anymore. She always felt the lingering smell of blood in her nose, and then she thought about the pig pen. , which made her even more uneasy.

  They say a broken home is worth a fortune.

  Tables, chairs, pans, cabinets, and beds are definitely not allowed to be taken away.

  But I couldn't care less about my heartache at the moment.

  The five people took turns moving three times and finally brought everything they wanted to take away.

  Xiao Youfu stayed at the end, picked up several bundles of wood and threw them into the pig pen, poured soybean oil from the jar on top, threw in a few bundles of dry thatch, and finally lit a fire before striding out of the house.

  Anyway, it's been raining these days and everywhere is wet. Even if your own house is burned down, it won't affect other people's houses.

  That's why he can light a fire without any scruples.

  Anyway, he was looking forward to burning down the house, which would satisfy Mrs. Liu's desire to come back.

  The boat Xiao Youfu rented was not small and could accommodate about twenty people.     Therefore, the whole family and belongings can be put down without being crowded.

  Mrs. Liu thought that Xiao Youfu had been injured several times before, so she asked him to rest while she and her daughters rowed.

  There are endless clear waters and clear waves, and there are tall trees on the mountains in the distance. If you didn't know where to stay, it would be a summer outing to cool off.

  After waiting for half an hour, they saw another boat in the reservoir. Everyone may have scruples, fearing that the other boat had patients, so they stayed far away and would never come over to say hello.

  Fortunately, there was a boat in front of them. When it got dark, people lit torches and they just followed.

  Xiao Xiao looked very worried: "Dad, we have lit a torch ahead. What should we do if the officer at the dock sees us?"

  After a nap, he felt more energetic when he woke up: "You don't have to worry, mistress. Most of the boats are former passenger ships, and they will definitely not go to the dock. "

  There are also more than a dozen small villages around the reservoir, so passenger ships are indispensable on a daily basis.

  Even though entry and exit are officially prohibited, some brave souls still take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in and take people out.

  Of course, the price of this ferry is estimated to be dozens of times what it was before.

  After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was worried: "The two people Xiao Wei brought back are not bad in appearance. If their family members hire a boat to go in and find no one, will they suspect us?"

  Xiao Youfu is the one . He set the fire because he was afraid of being investigated. After hearing this, he comforted her: "Don't be afraid, such a big fire can burn everything."

  After following the boat in front and arriving at the shore, Xiao Youfu first went to search nearby. The boat owner, Lao Jin, also used half a fan of pork and two chickens, and hired Lao Jin's mule cart to help take them to town.

  It wasn't that he didn't want to return to the county town, but he noticed that the area where he had been hit by the stick was swollen. He was afraid of internal injuries and needed to see a doctor as soon as possible.

  It takes about an hour to go to the town. If you go back to the county town, it will take at least more than two hours.

  If he really falls down, he can go to town and his father and brother can take care of him.

  Moreover, Lao Jin also said that he heard from officials that the county and town are now very strictly controlled and only allowed to leave but not enter.

  But if they go to town, he has a way to send them in quietly.

  That's why he was willing to give out half a fan of pork and two chickens.

  Lao Jin and Xiao Youfu had a good relationship, so he was willing to stay with their family for half a night. When it got dark, he would drive them to Yi'an Town on a mule cart.

  Since last night, heavy raindrops have not stopped, so there are no cars, horses or pedestrians on the road.

  The intersection into the town was also guarded by government officials. Lao Jin went down and stuffed some money, and got in smoothly.

  Lao Jin often came to the town before, but he knew where the house Xiao Yougui bought was and walked them directly to the door.

  When Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yougui's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu, saw their whole family arriving, they first greeted them and then hurriedly came to help bring their luggage in.

  When Mrs. Wu saw that there was still half a fan of pork and more than a dozen slaughtered chickens and ducks, she said happily: "The boss is worried that there is not enough pork to sell. Could you please help me, Brother Jin, to deliver these to the stall?"

  Xiao The old woman nodded: "Cut the pork belly into pieces, and leave two chickens for extra vegetables."

  After the mule cart and the daughter-in-law left, Mrs. Xiao quickly closed the door and asked nervously in a low voice: "Are you all okay? It's not far behind. There is a medical center and it is very convenient to get medicine!"

  After hearing that the reservoir was sealed, they were also worried about their eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughters.

  However, they had no way to go in and save people.

  Now of course she is happy to see that their family is all neat and tidy.
