They are all members of the same clan. Old Man Lu knows that it is not easy for them to survive until now, so he has no intention of not helping.
But you must not rush up there by yourself. Now that they are asking to come up, Old Man Lu can naturally go down the steps.
He wiped away his tears sadly, then helped Lu Fugui up and said, "Fugui, we are all a family. Even if you don't tell me this, the third uncle will find a way. I’m here to help you. We got four horses on the road, so traveling is very easy. I’m thinking of asking the boss and the second boss to go to the city to sell the two horses, and in exchange for the money, I’ll help you get into the city.”
"Third Uncle, you are such a good person!"
Lu Fugui burst into tears, and other clan members also knelt down in front of Old Man Lu. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed, at this time, Uncle Lu could still Thinking about them is really not easy!
"Don't worry, Third Uncle, when we get to Anzhou, we will definitely find a way to make money and pay back the debt as soon as possible."
These people are also quite conscientious. I know it was borrowed and not given free of charge by Old Man Lu.
He Jiuniang said: "In that case, everyone should come to my place to register and see how much it costs in total. The eldest brother and the second brother can sell the horse so that they can bid for it, and then come to me and write an IOU. ."
No one had thought of writing an IOU. Mrs. Sun looked at her with satisfaction and helped her smooth things over: "Everyone, don't think too much. There are too many people. It's a good idea to record it. "Yes!"
"Yes, yes, we should, we should, our uncles and aunts are helping us so much, what else do we have to think about? But about writing IOUs... we can't read either Ah!"
Lu Fugui scratched his head innocently and smiled awkwardly.
Others nodded. In this era, there are too few literate people.
He Jiuniang said: "I learned a few words when I was a child, so it's no problem to write an IOU. When the time comes, everyone just needs to stamp their fingerprints!"
Everyone agreed. He Jiuniang agreed, and went to tell He Jiuniang the number of people in her family. He Jiuniang kept it in mind, and then said to the eldest brother and the second brother: "Eldest brother, second brother, a total of seventeen adults and five children, a total of sixty-one taels. Both of our horses are good horses. Even if the situation is not good, we can still sell for more than seventy taels. You can estimate the price yourself."
Those assassins came from Nantai. Those who ride here must be thousands of miles of horses. If they are seen by someone who knows the goods, they will definitely be higher. But now we are not pursuing a good price, as long as it can solve the problem of these people entering the city.
"Hey, we can."
Boss Lu responded, and He Jiuniang said again: "Don't forget to go to the study to buy some pen and paper to write IOUs. .”
Boss Lu responded again, and then started to clean up the camp to prepare for rest. Only after sleeping well would he be energetic enough to do things early tomorrow morning.
"Xiao Zhuzi! Son! Stop and give my son back to me!"
He Jiuniang's family was about to rest when they heard Cui'er's shrill scream, He Jiuniang turned around and saw that a group of refugees took the little bamboo away while everyone was not paying attention.
"Save my son, please! Save my son!"
Lu Daping's leg was injured and it was impossible to chase him. Cui'er thought of Mrs. Jiang staying with him. The two people next to him hurriedly came over to hug their thighs and beg for help.
Cheng Ke had already drawn his sword and chased after him. Those refugees were going crazy with hunger. He saw that this group of people didn't seem to be easy to mess with, so he didn't dare to take action. He finally waited until dark. The man in the family was lame, so he immediately grabbed it.
They were all people who had been hungry for several days. Their physical strength could not compare with Cheng Ke’s, and they were instantly blocked by Cheng Ke.
"Don't come over! If you come over again, I'll strangle him to death first!"
The refugees were frightened when they looked at the sword in Cheng Ke's hand. Cheng Ke sneered: " Do you think you can be faster than me?"
As he said that, the refugee was wiped on the neck before he could react. Xiaozhuzi fell into Chengke's arms in shock, and Cui'er ran over in panic. He hugged his son and cried to coax him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
The others were shocked. No one expected that these two men with swords were so powerful, and they immediately did not dare to make any small moves. , ran away in despair.
Seeing this, another group of refugees who were afraid of trouble quietly moved their belongings towards the Lu family, always feeling that they were safer here.
He Jiuniang asked Leizi to give two bamboo tubes of water to Chengke and the others as a thank you for their help.
Chengke happened to be a little thirsty. He took a sip and found that it was sweet. He glanced at He Jiuniang without surprise, but saw that He Jiuniang had already coaxed the puppy to sleep.
Chengke frowned, always feeling that there was something different about this woman.
With Cheng Ke killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, the Lu family had a peaceful sleep. As soon as the city gate opened the next morning, the eldest and second eldest brother Lu went into the city. After inquiring about the market, they prepared to sell two horses to the city. Mara went to Yahang in the south of the city.
Yaxing not only manages the purchase and sale of people, but also the sale and purchase of livestock.
An hour later, they returned to the city gate, where Lu Fugui and others were waiting to meet them. When they saw them coming out, they shouted to the Lu family not far away to come over.
“I met a young master from a wealthy family, and he sold both horses and got a hundred taels!”
Boss Lu quietly explained to the Lu family, and handed two large silver ingots worth fifty taels to Sun with trembling hands.
God, he has never held such a fat silver ingot in his whole life. Today, he has finally passed the point of being addicted to the handle!
Mr. Sun was also surprised that he could sell so much, but after earning a lot of money during these days, he was able to calm down, put away a fifty-tael silver ingot, and took out more than a dozen taels of broken pieces. Yin went to the officers and soldiers guarding the city to pay him.
He Jiuniang stood guard outside, making sure that every household had their fingerprints stamped by her before they could enter.
It was rare for the officers and soldiers guarding the city to see such a wealthy family. It was not easy for them to enter the city alone, but they also had to bring a bunch of relatives with them.
After finishing all the work, He Jiuniang thought of Lu Guilan's family and asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city: "Brother officers and soldiers, have you ever seen a family of butchers? The men are all wearing mandarin jackets and they are strong. I still smell like pig."
The Lu family paid so much money in one go, and the smiles on the faces of the city guards became more sincere. After thinking about it carefully, it really made an impression.
"There are indeed, about eight or nine people, including three children, who went into the city two days ago."
This is a life-saving statement for the Lu family. Straw, Sun's originally wilted mood suddenly became clear.
Although the officers and soldiers were not sure whether they were seeing the person the family was looking for, seeing them so happy immediately stopped spoiling the atmosphere.
"Mom, did you hear that? Maybe my sister and her family felt that it was too dangerous outside the city, so they went into the city first. Let's go to the city to look for it first, or we can catch up on the road to Anzhou quickly. , they are just two days ahead of us, so they can definitely catch up."
Sun Shi nodded while enduring the soreness in her nose, eager to catch up immediately.
