Chapter 43 "Enpixi"

With the help of Lin Xiao'e's information, Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng successfully obtained the gold, silver and jewelry hidden by the bandit leader. They buried five large boxes under a jujube tree behind the wooden house.

Pan Yingying put the big box into the space through the thin yellow soil.

Of course, all this was done behind Lin Xiao'e's back.

Then she asked Yu Chaosheng to take his men away first, and took out a bag of grenades that she had bought at a high price from the system mall, to deal with those man-eating evil spirits.

The process was very satisfying. She led people to the wooden house, blew everything up into the sky, and finally threw two daggers to the tied people and left. She did not take any food from the village.

She couldn't save them, but she left them a chance to save themselves.

After leaving the mountain village, Pan Yingying bought a carriage from the system mall and drove the carriage to chase Yu Chaosheng and Lin Xiaoe who had reached the fork in the road.

The three of them rushed to Qiongyang County together.

Those who could escape in Qiongyang County all fled, and those who could not escape died at the hands of the bandits.

The county government office was also occupied by another group of bandits.

In line with the principle of not wasting anything, Pan Yingying used the same old trick again, and one bomb after another sent the bandits in the county government office to death.

Even though Lin Xiao'e was the daughter of a county magistrate and was considered quite knowledgeable, she was still shocked by the generosity of Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng.

The Dayu Dynasty had gunpowder, which was also used in military affairs, but she never expected that these two people would have so much of it.

The floor tiles in the study were dug up, revealing a large box after another. Lin Xiao'e pursed her lips and took out only 5 gold ingots, 10 silver ingots, and 1000 taels of silver notes. She gave the rest to Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng.

I heard that their destination this time is Yaocheng, and I want to go with them.

Yu Chaosheng firmly disagreed.

He could see that this woman was now preparing to rely on Pan Yingying. Look at what she said, and she also said "I can't repay you for saving my life", "I am willing to be your slave", and "I only want to follow the heroine".

Sister Pan just needs him to cling to her!

When Pan Yingying heard Lin Xiao'e say that she was literate and could manage the household accounts, she nodded in agreement without much hesitation and generously gave her the newly bought carriage.

The main reason is that she really doesn't want to teach the people in the team to read and write. The younger ones are easy to teach, but the older ones are really impossible to teach!
It’s better to just throw this matter away. There is someone ready-made.

Yu Chaosheng was extremely dissatisfied, his lips were pouting so much that an oil bottle could be hung on them, but his protest was ineffective.

While Lin Xiao'e was packing her things, the two men secretly looted everything in the county government office, even the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and the big iron pot in the kitchen.

This group of bandits robbed a lot of treasures from the wealthy homes in the city, and they accepted them all with reluctance and threw them all into the space.

After doing all this, Lin Xiao'e also packed up. She took her father's most commonly used inkstone and her mother's favorite sandalwood bracelet. The bandits did not know the value of these two items, so they did not take them away. They are still staying where they should be. The body could no longer be found, so these two things were kept as a remembrance.

There were a few simple clothes in the carriage, as well as some rice that Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng brought out from the kitchen as a gift to her, enough for her to eat for a long time.

The three of them set out on the journey back to Zhanglin County.

Five days later, the three exhausted people arrived at Zhanglin County. Liang Ye and his group were ready to go. Zhao and her group had also packed the supplies sent by Xu Yingda and the people and were ready to leave at any time.

The three of them joined the main force and set out again towards Yaocheng. …

……

"Brother Chaosheng!" Liang Ye came riding a horse from behind, wearing a straw hat on his head. He looked like he had been fished out of the water, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

They have now been away from Zhanglin County for half a month and arrived at the hottest and hardest-hit area.

Seeing Yu Chaosheng chewing on the dry biscuit that could hurt his teeth, he couldn't help but feel a sour taste in his mouth.

He came to discuss buying water. Every time this couple went out, they could find a water source that no one else could find. I wonder if it was the water god who had descended to the earth.

Those "Enpisi" who couldn't find water could only spend money to buy it. "Enpisi" was a new foreign word he learned from the Chaosheng brothers, which meant "ordinary people."

Brother Chaosheng and his wife are really amazing. They even understand foreign languages. A "pecked guy" like him is so lucky to have lived safely until today. He even wrote a letter to his family, asking them to return to their hometown in Yuan County to hide.

The man in the palace is obsessed with alchemy all day long, and the government is gradually controlled by treacherous officials. The world may be in chaos one day. After escorting these fugitives this time, he will resign from his job and return to Yuan County. Anyway, the money he earns this time is enough for his family to spend for decades.

"Brother Chaosheng, do you have any water?" Liang Ye jumped off the horse carelessly, pulled off the towel from his waist and wiped the sweat off the horse's body with heartache.

This drought not only makes people suffer, but horses also suffer.

Yu Chaosheng remained silent. He raised his hand and lifted the oilcloth covering the water truck. Liang Ye leaned over to take a look. Wow, there was still half a bucket of water in several buckets.

He took out two taels of silver and threw them into Yu Chaosheng's arms, then took the small wooden bucket on the horse's back and filled it with water, feeding his horse first.

Now Yu Chaosheng and his team have set a price for the water they sell: one tael of silver for a small bucket. The size of the bucket is based on the 2L small bucket that Pan Yingying bought from the mall. The price is clearly marked and there is no deception.

A portion of the money used to buy water was distributed to each household, and the rest went into the pockets of the two men.

After all, no one else can find water now, and only they can get it.

At first, everyone was reluctant to take the money for selling the water, because they didn't pay for the water, so there was no point in sharing the money, but the two men insisted.

Everyone contributes to transporting water, and on weekdays they take turns driving the water truck, and they are always paid some hard work fee.

"This damn weather is getting hotter and hotter." After feeding the horse, Liang Ye scooped out a small bucket of water to drink, complaining as he drank, "I don't know when it will end."

It's almost September now, but it's still so hot, it's really making my scalp tingle.

Yu Chaosheng stretched his neck and swallowed the dry biscuit in his mouth with difficulty, "It's almost autumn, isn't it?"

The biscuit almost choked him to death, but unfortunately the fierce woman was not here at the moment, so he couldn't drink the happy water.

She and a few other girls in the team wandered around the area, looking for anything they could buy in the mall.

And he can only stay here and sell water. He feels wronged just thinking about it. He also wants to go out and walk around!
Speaking of the coming of autumn, Yu Chaochao straightened his face and said, "Captain Liang, have you prepared your warm clothes?"

He and the fierce woman analyzed that they should be in the Little Ice Age now, with frequent natural disasters and various extreme weather conditions. A cold wave should be after the drought. During this period, they have been intentionally or unintentionally asking the people in the team to pick up some firewood for backup and make some thick clothes to avoid being frozen to death or getting sick after a sudden drop in temperature.

Liang Ye nodded, "I've prepared it. I brought warm clothes with me when I went out."
