Chapter 207 Double Standards
"When you travel around, the road is not safe, and you have to have some Kung Fu skills to rely on."
Her self-deprecating tone is a bit like the reaction of a Chinese parent when he hears others praising his children.
Tao Jiaren: "My dear, they respect you too."
He stared at it more closely than with his own eyes, as if he was holding it in his palm for fear of it dropping, or holding it in his mouth for fear of it melting.
Tao Jia thought, if things like going to the bathroom can be replaced, then the people in Taohua Village definitely wouldn't need Little Cutie to come in person, right? !
Bai Tao smiled and said, "Yeah."
There are many things about the people in Taohua Village that make Bai Tao happy. They are obedient and filial and never question her.
They believed whatever she said.
They treasured everything she gave them.
Whatever she wanted, they would find a way to get it for her.
Every time she said something, even if it might conflict with current ideas, the villagers listened to her without any hesitation.
They had great respect for her, and every time she came up with something new, the villagers would admire her and obediently learn from her seriously.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the martial arts secrets. They use Chinese characters. Few of the villagers have ever been to school, and they can’t even recognize all the Qin characters, let alone the Chinese characters that Bai Tao is used to using.
But once she said it, everyone, young and old, began to study hard.
Bai Tao stipulated that one must recognize at least fifteen characters a day, so the villagers worked hard to learn twenty or thirty characters.
You have to know that this was a journey of escape, and everyone was learning Chinese characters while fleeing.
Thinking of this, Bai Tao spoke again: "They are all good children, and they are very filial to me!"
A five-year-old baby opened her mouth and said that people who were much older than her were good children. This scene was extremely funny and cute.
Tao Jiaren was also happy: "Little cutie, you are really... so cute." Her hands were itching to stroke the little cutie's head again.
The villagers soon learned about the conversation between Bai Tao and Tao Jiaren. They all smiled happily and felt sweeter than eating honey.
Everyone was happy and worked harder.
Work hard at practicing martial arts and calligraphy.
The main point is, since my aunt has praised us for our hard work, we have to work harder so as not to embarrass her.
The villagers have not forgotten that, unknown to them, there is a group of people waiting to snatch their aunt away.
night.
While setting up camp and resting, everyone was discussing today's battle around the big campfire.
"Although Dongzhou is in chaos, it's... pretty good." The person who spoke touched the purse at his waist.
He earned fifty-six taels of silver in the last game, and he also got five kills in today's game.
Twenty-five taels of silver is enough. After cleaning up the battlefield, I can probably get another twenty or thirty taels of silver when the total amount is calculated later.
When you arrive at Junji Town, you can buy a house if you can, or build a courtyard with two entrances. Of course, you must live near the Baijiabao caravan.
Hearing him say this, someone next to him also said: "Yes. I think it's pretty good."
At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten that they regretted their first visit to Dongzhou when they discovered that the people of Dongzhou were fierce.
At this time, everyone was counting the money they had earned, with a look of satisfaction on their faces.
It was chaotic, but under the leadership of the Baijiabao caravan, they not only did not suffer any losses, but also earned more money than they could have earned in the previous three to five years.
In fact, many people are still thinking that if such short-sighted forces happen eight or ten times again, they will be able to save more money.
"Hey, how many heads did you take?"
“I took seven!”
"Wow, that's awesome of you, I took four."
"I'm OK. I got five, which is two less than last game."
"Not a small number. There were many enemies in this battle. The crossbows fired nearly twenty times." As soon as the crossbows were fired, many people were killed. The silver bills and other things on the bodies of the dead must have been lost.
But no one would complain. Although they got fewer heads, they were much safer.
Two heads are not too many, and one head is not too few, as long as there is income.
In the words of the caravan's boss, it is a business with no capital involved, so just take what you can get.
"I saw that Zhou Yang from the Zhou family got eight."
"He has a lot of family members, and both of his brothers are good fighters. They can always get eight or ten heads every time."
When it comes to Zhou Yang's family, no one is not envious.
"That's nothing. Before, when we first entered Dongzhou, do you remember that battle? His family had a total of forty-three heads."
"So many?"
"Of course, I only heard it after I settled the bill with his family."
Although everyone was envious, they did not find it strange. After all, the Zhou family had a large number of people, and both men and women were capable and strong.
In the beginning, the counting of heads was done spontaneously by the people of Taohua Village.
It's not for the money, but to see if I have made progress. It can also be a way to show off to the villagers.
But with the participation of outsiders, each head was counted at five taels of silver, and the matter of counting heads became serious.
Although one person might only take three or five heads, they are still heads, so Bai Dashan specially arranged people to count the heads.
The person who did the calculations was Bai Duojin from the Baijiabao caravan. Everyone knew that he had excellent math skills and had never made a mistake, so everyone was convinced.
"Speaking of which, Zhou Yang's daughter is just the right age. If she settles down, it would be a blessing for any family to marry into his family."
"Not only that, the three daughters of the Zhou family are all capable and generous. They can get three or four heads in battle."
If someone else heard this kind of conversation, they would definitely find it shocking and outrageous.
Who would use conditions like fighting ability and the ability to take lives as criteria when choosing a wife? But when it is brought up at this moment, no one finds it strange.
Five taels of silver per head.
Besides, only a capable and fighting daughter-in-law can protect the family.
Who would want to find a daughter-in-law who is timid and speaks softer than a mosquito when they leave their hometown to escape and seek a way to survive?
They are not from a wealthy family. A poor farmer marries a woman only for her ability to make money.
"By the way, is anyone going to redeem points tomorrow?"
"I go!"
"I'll go as well."
"I also want to exchange some points tomorrow."
I exchanged points with the Baijiabao caravan, and I can just deduct money from the card when I want to buy something.
You can buy things with silver, but it's quite heavy to carry around, and it's easy to lose it in battle.
I worked hard to earn money by killing people, but lost it the next moment. What a loss.
This happened because someone had lost money and wanted to find a caravan to exchange it for silver bills. That’s why Bai Tao came up with a points card that can store money, similar to a bank card.
At the beginning, these people were also very hesitant because no one had ever heard of the points card.
With so much money, what if...
But when Yang Xianglian heard this, she did not hesitate and immediately took out most of the money she had on her to exchange for the card.
Facing the others' surprise, she said, "After following the caravan all this way, don't you know what kind of person the young master is?"
