Chapter 9 Stockpiling Grain

Wei Qing carried nearly 100 kilograms of prey in one hand and carp on his back. He still walked as fast as flying, which was easier than walking empty-handed.

Tang Li really doesn’t know how this man grew so strong!

The only problem is that the man's back is as hard as a stone, which makes life hurt.

The two arrived in town at noon.

Wei Qing brought Tangli to the market.

Tang Li's eyes were shiny, and she looked like she had never seen the market before. This was the first time she had seen an ancient town. There was a lively street in front of her, with stalls set up by vendors and some shops selling all kinds of things, with hawking sounds one after another.

It's completely different from the modern city before she wore books.

"You are here to go and I will sell these prey." Wei Qing said.

Tang Li nodded.

Tang Li was beautiful, and when she stood there, the eyes of several men stuck to her.

Wei Qing frowned and turned around and left. When he came back, he had already added a straw hat in his hand.

Tang Li was surprised: "Why are you back?"

Wei Qing directly buckled the straw hat on her head.

"Just on this street, don't run around."

"I know, I'm not a child." Tang Li muttered.

After Wei Qing left, Tang Li started shopping in the market. When she first entered the town, Wei Qing gave her two taels of silver. Tang Li saw that she had anything she liked, so she bought them all.

"Little beggar, get out of here!" a loud shout.

Tang Li turned around and saw a bun stall where the boss was holding a branch and scattering the person standing in front of the stall.

"You can't afford it, don't stand in front of my stall and watch it. Do you know that it affects my business?"

"You are so smelly, no one dares to buy my buns when you see it!"

"I tell you, even if I can't sell my buns and give them to the dogs, I won't give them to you!"

The one who was being beaten was a child, who was ragged all over and ran around and immediately crashed into Tang Li's arms.

The boss didn't continue to smoke.

The little beggar was skinny and bone-skinned, with a dirty face, and looked about the same age as a big treasure.

The little beggar looked at him dirtying the other person's clothes and turned around and wanted to run away.

Tang Li grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

"It's useless for you to pull me. I don't have the money to compensate you for your clothes!" the little beggar shouted.

Tang Li didn't ask him to compensate for his clothes, so she grabbed him to the bun shop, bought two big buns, and handed them to him.

The little beggar's eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Tang Li stupidly. Then he reacted and quickly snatched the buns from Tang Li and ate the two buns voraciously.

Tang Li ignored him and continued to stroll.

A few steps away, the little beggar followed her.

Tang Li frowned. She bought buns for the little beggar because she felt sorry for him, but if the little beggar pestered her and treated her as a sucker, she would not care. She did good deeds by voluntarily and did not like to be kidnapped.

Tang Li took two steps, stopped, and looked at the thin little beggar.

"What are you doing with me?"

The little beggar raised his head: "I will protect you!"

Tang Li looked at his thin little body: "You protect me? Can your little body protect me?"

"My father said, I'm grateful and repay you. If you buy me a bun, I have nothing to pay you back. I'll protect you for a while!"

"Don't look at me as young as I'm really young. If I really want to fight, even adults can't beat me!"

"Then you just got shot like that?"

The little beggar hummed twice: "That's why I'm too lazy to do it."

Tang Li laughed at him, but Tang Li didn't believe it.

The little beggar was still following her like a little tail. During this period, she really encountered a little thief who wanted to steal something from Tangli. The little beggar pounced on her, bit the little thief, and drove the person away.

Tang Li looked at him: "You little beggar are quite loyal!"

"Of course! My father said, 'righteousness' is the foundation of one's life!"

"Where is your father?"

The little beggar's head drooped: "Die!"

"On the way to Qinghe County from Qinzhou City, my father died of illness!"

His father died. Before his death, he held his hand and told him to survive. He begged to come to Qinghe County and survived even if he was beaten and scolded.

"You came from Qinzhou City?" Tang Li asked.

She had a little impression of Qinzhou City. It was mentioned in the book that it was located on the border and was not peaceful. Moreover, there is a big man in the book who was messing around with the situation from Qinzhou. That big man is still a child now.

"Yes, my dad said he was going to fight, and Qinzhou City would soon be in chaos."

It's messy...

Tang Li was thinking about the little beggar's words.

When Wei Qing found Tang Li, the little beggar stopped following her.

Tang Li turned around and looked at the bustling crowd everywhere, and the small figure was gone.

"What are you looking at?" Wei Qing hooked her head back.

"I didn't see you anyway!" Tang Li snorted.

Wei Qing glanced at it: "No one looks better than me?"

The man is right. He is really handsome and very masculine. When other people who look good look are favored by him, they will be particularly distorted.

However, she couldn't see his sternness.

"I don't know if anyone looks better than you, your skin is definitely the thickest!"

The two of them quarreled and came to the door of a store.

Tang Li raised her head and found that it was a jewelry store.

When I entered the store, most of the girls from wealthy families were accompanied by maids. It is rare for a farm girl like Tangli to accompany her with a man.

"Look at what you like." Wei Qing sold hundreds of kilograms of prey and had more than seven taels of silver in his hand, so he thought about buying something for Tang Li, and he couldn't let her down.

Tang Li glanced at him: "Please pick it?"

"Choose whatever you want." Wei Qing was very arrogant.

Tang Li had a tendency to move the entire store, but in the end he only picked one bracelet, which was a silver bracelet, which was worn on Tang Li's white wrist, and looked very good.

The most important thing is that the silver quantity is sufficient and the value is preserved!

Tangli has been through for a long time and also knows the economic situation of the Wei family. Wei Qing often goes up the mountain to hunt, and is lucky enough to catch wild boars, but most of them are pheasants and rabbits. When I get up early and go to bed late this month, I may earn only three or four taels of silver. After the food, clothing and expenses of the family, I don’t have much left.

This family is short of money, which is not the time to enjoy it. If there is a urgent need, she can sell the bracelet.

However, just this bracelet was a little surprised by the shopkeeper.

It is difficult for farmers to make money, so this man is willing to buy jewelry for his wife...

It can be seen that this man really loves his wife.

The two of them came out of the jewelry store, each of them bought a cotton jacket for winter, and then went to the rice and grain store. The family had almost eaten up all the food, so they had to add some food.

Standing in front of the rice and grain shop, Tang Li suddenly figured out something.

The little beggar said that Qinzhou City was going to be in chaos. She remembered it. In the original book, shortly after Gu Ying recognized her relatives, the Huns raided Qinzhou City. Not only Qinzhou City, but even Qinghe County was in war. Refugees were everywhere and hungry people were everywhere!

The little beggar's father may be the first to receive the news. Looking at the prosperity, the place will soon be in chaos!

Wei Qing has bought a bag of rice and noodles, which is enough to eat for several months.

"Buy more." Tang Li said.
