Chapter 15 What are you afraid of?
Yin Miao happily took a tael of silver and Yin He back home, and the family was immediately shocked.
"So this is one tael of silver."
Wei Shi was surprised with a small lump of silver.
"It's a bit small, like it was cut from a bar of silver."
Yin Bowen also said.
For a family who only used silver notes and whole ingots of gold and silver, they had never observed a piece or two of silver pieces so closely, and even Yin Zhenghong and Liu Shi could not put it down.
Yin Miao looked at this group of people and thought they were a little miserable and cute.
"Mother, can we eat meat tomorrow?" Brother Han became happy when he saw his family was happy.
"Han Er, the meat is delicious, but you also want to eat white rice or steamed buns, right? Let's eat white rice first, okay?"
Wei's heart was sad, but he could only comfort him.
"Mother, let's go around the county. If there is a surplus after buying something, we'll buy a piece of meat to eat."
Yin Miao said, they will no longer be short of food, so there is no need to exchange a tael of silver for food.
When it came to buying meat, Brother Han and Mrs Zhang's eyes immediately lit up.
"I'll go with you too." Mrs. Zhang said, she hasn't seen what the county is like.
"Tomorrow we will go to the county to buy things with the Luo family. You must be careful on the way. I heard from the next door that it has not been peaceful outside recently."
Mrs Liu said that with Luo Dazhi next door, there was also someone on the way to take care of them. After all, only a few of Mrs Wei were left in their family who could go out.
…
The Luo family has a mule that is not sturdy. Every time he goes out for shopping, Luo Dazhi will lead the mule cart, and only the young Luo Xiaobao has sat on the mule cart. Luo Dazhi is worried that the mule cannot bear the weight, so every time he goes Follow the mule cart to walk to the county seat.
And under Luo Xiaobao's "warm invitation", Brother Han was also fortunate enough to take a mule cart.
Luo Xiaobao said proudly: "Our family's Maomao is the most obedient. Can you ride a mule? I can still ride on Maomao, and Brother Li and the others can't catch up with me."
Brother Han shook his head honestly: "I have never ridden a mule. I have only ridden a foal in a horse farm. The groom only let me sit on it, not let me run on it."
Yin Miao looked at Luo Dazhi's face, fortunately Brother Han did not have the slightest feeling of comparison, so Luo Dazhi just listened happily.
"Uncle Luo, is the oil expensive in the county?" Yin Miao asked, there is no way to cook without oil, so they have to buy some oil this time.
"The oil price is not expensive. 100 wen is enough to make a pot. If you want to buy pork, you can use fat to make oil." Luo Dazhi replied.
"Fat meat can also produce oil?" Wei Shi and Zhen Shi both heard it for the first time.
"Yes, yes, my mother used lard for cooking, it was so fragrant." Mrs Zhang said cheerfully.
Three sisters just chatted all the way, while Yin Miao and Yin He walked behind and listened.
Xu was Liu's advice that played a role. The group of people walked halfway, and after the sound of horse hooves and a few rough shouts, three strong men on horseback stood in front of them.
"No, I was really told by my grandmother."
Yin Miao has a complicated expression. Every time she reads a book, she finds that the characters in the book are often afraid of what to do. Last night, when Mrs. Liu told them to be careful on the road, she had a hunch, and now this situation has really come true...
"Mother, I'll protect you."
Yin He is quite manly, even though he is only ten years old at the moment.
"Don't panic, everyone, this is a nearby bandit. Generally, as long as we leave money, they won't take our lives."
Luo Dazhi also looked ugly. People in the village said that there were more and more bandits in the mountains recently.
It seems that the family is going to be hungry again during this time.
"Why give him the money..." As soon as Mrs. Zhang shouted out, Mrs. Zhen covered her mouth. Yin Miao found that Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Wei were shaking too.
"Mother, auntie, don't be afraid, I'll teach them a lesson later."
Yin Miao comforted.
And the three sisters only thought that Yin Miao was joking, but the other party was three mountain bandits who were as strong as cows and murdered without blinking an eye!
"Everyone, do well, we are just villagers in Changling Village, please let us live."
Luo Dazhi's words made Yin Miaozhi anxious, why did she report her family at the beginning?
"People in Changling Village are very sensible. If you want to cross the road, hurry up and hand over the road money you have!"
A stocky man with a beard in the middle laughed proudly.
"Yo~ How many girls and sisters are there?"
A man on the right noticed the people behind him. At this time, although the three Weis were wearing the most tattered sackcloth and linen, they were all born, and they were not even the figure of a woman in the village who was used to farm work. In comparison, even with his head down, it is difficult to hide the temperament around him.
As soon as Luo Dazhi heard that his heart was not good, he immediately knelt down in front of the three of them: "All heroes, please spare your life, they are all exiled from the imperial court, and the family is short of men, old and young, and I beg you to let go. Pass them!"
“…”
Yin Miao wondered if Luo Dazhi had a grudge against them. Wasn't it obvious to tell the other party that they were pitiful and weak and easy to overthrow?
Sure enough, after Luo Dazhi finished speaking, the three men on the horse became more interested, and the man on the right jumped off the horse and walked towards them with a grin.
"You bad people! Don't bully my family!" At the critical moment, Yin He broke free from Zhen Shi and stood in front of them, while Brother Han was so frightened that he cried.
"He'er! Come back!" Zhen Shi was so frightened that Hua Rong turned pale, and immediately pulled Yin He back.
"Hahaha! Sure enough, there are no men in the family. Why don't you just follow your father today, and serve you a few in the future. How about you make sure you eat delicious food and drink spicy food?"
The man reached out his hand to pinch Mrs Zhang's face, but was reprimanded by a crisp voice.
"Stop." Yin Miao walked out from behind Wei Shi slowly, her eyes became sharp.
"Miao'er, what are you doing!" Wei Shi shouted.
"Yo! This girl is more watery, I like it! Hahaha!"
It was only then that the man realized that Yin Miao had come out. The girl's slightly immature face had already revealed a bit of tenderness. The agile black eyes were looking at him displeasedly, and the fair face was even more tender than any nearby woman... The man swallowed involuntarily.
The man was about to reach out to grab Yin Miao, but suddenly a figure hugged his thigh.
"Miao'er, run!" Mrs. Zhang hugged the man's legs tightly, preventing him from approaching Yin Miao.
At this time, the other two strong men also laughed and walked off the horse. In their eyes, the women and girls in front of them were already in their pockets.
"Just a few of you are worthy of the word 'hero'?" Yin Miao sneered without any fear in her eyes.
