Everyone was silent. In their hearts, they naturally hoped that the Li family would use the money to help everyone pass the test, but their conscience told them, why should the Li family dig out their wealth and give selflessly.

At this time, Li Er Er opened his mouth.

"It was true that a nobleman gave Fu Niu a set of gold jewelry that day, and the village head and Uncle Zhao were there at the time. Why don't the village head tell me, how about the jewelry?"

The village chief's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he took a cigarette bag and set it on fire, with a look of resentment.

"A bunch of idiots, what are you doing alive? It's just a waste of food. You'll be tempted after a few words of instigation? I was right in front of you that day, and the jewelry that the nobleman gave Fu Niu was at most seven or eighty taels, and it was seven or eighty taels in exchange for silver. It's enough for the Li family to pass the test."

"That's right," Uncle Zhao was also angry, and shouted at everyone, "You want the Li family to take it out, okay, then the Li family will go first, and we will all wait here. Let's see when those soldiers at the gate of the city show their kindness. , let us go."

Everyone's faces changed, they all counted on the Li family to flee famine and survive together.

The Li family really left them behind, what would they do?

Immediately, someone looked at the little daughter-in-law and began to curse, "Speak if you can speak, and shut your mouth if you can't. You miss children's jewelry, why didn't I see you offer your daughter's bracelet. "

"She can't bear it, and she still expects to eat and drink other people's food and save her own."

For a while, the little daughter-in-law became the target of public criticism, and she cried even harder.

Jiayin rolled her eyes, wishing to spit on her face.

Dare to think about her gold, be careful of a rain of stones, your whole family will go to see Lord Yan, and make sure that they are neat and tidy, and no one will be left behind.

The husband of the little daughter-in-law is a simple and honest man, so he dragged the daughter-in-law and retreated to the back.

The village chief snorted coldly and turned to the Li family.

"Big sister, the second child, the third child, the fourth child, don't worry about this matter. Everyone knows how well your family is doing. I was confused just now, and there will be no such thing in the future, otherwise I will take the cigarette bag myself The pot planed him to death!"

After all, he glared fiercely at the villagers.

The villagers all shrunk their necks subconsciously, laughing in embarrassment and guilt.

Mrs. Li refused to say anything, but she was still angry.

On the contrary, Li Laoer said, "Uncle, this city gate is definitely not going to pass, I'm afraid I have to find another way. Besides, I'm afraid that other places will follow suit. If any city wants to buy road silver, it will be troublesome."

The villagers gasped when they were woken up, "No way? Aren't you afraid of the court's punishment?"

"At this time, who cares about the court! Besides, as long as the people from the court come over, they don't need to collect money. In troubled times, who doesn't want to take the opportunity to earn more money."

Li Lao Er shook his head, everyone wanted to talk, but it rained suddenly.

From small to large, everyone swarmed away and began to look for linoleum to shelter from the rain.

The food in the baskets of this family was wet, and the parcels of clothes in that family were uncovered, and they were in a mess for a while.

The Li family is a little bit better, because there is a little baby like Jiayin, and every time he camps, Li Laosan takes the trouble to build a simple shed.

It's just that the shed is a bit small, and suddenly the whole family and Uncle Zhao were stuffed in, making it very crowded.

But in the cold of the autumn rain, it was a bit warmer to squeeze.

With the sound of rain outside and no outsiders, Li Er Er asked.

"Mother, is our family going south alone?"

What happened just now chilled the hearts of the family members, and now they all looked at Mrs. Li.

If you want to break up with the villagers, this is a good time.

Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter, tugged at her little clothes, and sighed softly.

"No, let's not say that the road is full of dangers. It is safer to have more people with you. Just say that when the Liu family robbed food earlier, there were still many people in the village who gave up their lives to protect our family. Our family left them at this time and went south alone. , some are unreasonable."

Li Laoer nodded, he thought so too.

It's not a critical moment, in order to keep the whole family, I can only be selfish.

Now it's just a city gate that can't pass through, so let's think of a way.

In addition, as he was worried, in case every city gate had to buy road money in the future.

Their Li family didn't have that money, so they could pass the test every time.

It would be better not to accept such a neck-stuck threat from the very beginning...

At this time, Li Laosi said, "Mother, second brother, I have an idea. Let's go over the mountain and bypass the county town!"

Over the mountain?Everyone looked at him, their eyes lit up.

They were also in a panic just now, their minds were tied up, why didn't they think of climbing the mountain.

Jin'an County is located between two mountains, so it can be regarded as one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.

Since you can't pass, it is definitely a good way to climb the mountain.

"Are you familiar with the mountains and forests around here? How many mountains do you have to climb to get around the county town?" Uncle Zhao asked seriously with a bad expression on his face.

Li Laosi was excited, but he didn't react, so he said.

"I walked here with Liu Biaotou before, but I heard him say a few words. Just climb over the mountain behind us, and there is a slightly higher one. As long as we all pass, we can bypass the county seat. At the foot of the mountain is the official road."

Everyone was happy, "That's great. Although climbing the mountain is troublesome, it's better than staying here."

Li Laosan frowned and said, "I'm afraid I can't bring a mule cart with me over the mountain."

Everyone was a little reluctant to hear it, especially Mrs. Li, whose family's belongings were all in the mule cart.Without a car, most of the children and grandchildren will have to carry it on their backs.

"Let's ask the village chief to come and talk about it." Li Er Er suggested, and after everyone nodded, he walked out against Xiaoyu.

Soon, the village head was invited over, but he was not too reluctant to part with the donkey cart, he just sighed.

"That's the only way to go. If we continue to delay, there will be more and more people. I'm afraid something will happen. Let's go earlier, there are only advantages and no disadvantages."

This matter is now settled.

The rain outside became lighter, so everyone dispersed to inform the villagers.

Li Laosan took Jia Ren and Jia Yi to cut down two small trees with thick wrists nearby, tied them with rope, and quickly made two simple small sledges.

Although he is taciturn, he has a delicate mind. He saw the complexions of Uncle Zhao's old men with bad legs and guessed that they were worried about climbing the mountain, so he came up with this idea...

Jiayin sat in the shack watching the fun, and couldn't help liking Sanbo even more in her heart.Such a silent, kind and gentle man, Third Aunt really has a good eye!

Zhao Yuru happened to come over, pulled off the handkerchief to wipe off her husband's sweat, and was about to speak when she turned around and saw her little niece's eyes sparkling, for some reason, she suddenly blushed...

Soon, everyone knew that we were going to climb the mountain tomorrow.

Some people were worried, some people were afraid, but the hundreds of people in the village, young and old, walked together, and they finally gained courage.

I have to say that the burdens and packages of each family have to be streamlined again.

Traveling over mountains is not as good as driving on flat ground. Having too many things is a deadly burden...

After such a fuss, when they finally fell asleep, it was already the second watch.

One night without dreams, when I woke up early, the sky washed by the autumn rain was dazzling blue.

Everyone packed up their things and gathered in one place.

The village chief gave his instructions again, and waved his hand to set off when there was no accident.

At this time, the little daughter-in-law who asked the Li family to pay the money yesterday dragged her husband and child to stand up.
