The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 1399 Fan Zijin (16)

Fan Zijin jumped off the horse wearing a hat, couldn't help but took off the fan from his pocket and fanned it, and said with a bitter face, "Why is it getting hotter and hotter, didn't we go north?"

Qi Haoran unloaded the burden from the horse, found a shady place to put it down, tied the horse aside to eat grass and had a rest.

"We'll rest here at noon today, and wait for the sun to go west." Qi Haoran took out his dry food, untied his water bag, and comforted him, "I'll go into the woods for a while and have a look. Can we catch some prey, if we can, we will eat wild game at night."

Fan Zijin nodded wearily, and said: "Let's count the money on us first. I thought we would be arrested and spend money without restraint. Since the person chasing us ran ahead of us, the probability of us being arrested is very high." Less, we need to save some money in the future, and don’t think about spending money on supporting those refugees, we have to save some for ourselves.”

Sullenly, Qi Haoran took out the oiled paper bag on his chest and handed it to him, and poured out the silver ingots in the pouch.

Fan Zijin counted the banknotes and sighed, "This money is too wasteful." In less than a month, there were only 10,000 taels left, and there were not many silver ingots. Fan Zijin counted and it was only one hundred and twenty Twelve.

He wrapped the banknotes and stuffed them back into Qi Haoran's arms, and said solemnly: "In the future, we won't use banknotes anymore, only using these silver ingots, we will definitely be able to find big cousin in Xingzhou Mansion."

Seeing Qi Haoran's reluctance, Fan Zijin said: "I heard that my eldest cousin has to rely on himself to support the army, and the food and salaries given by the court are not enough at all. Why don't we leave the 10,000 taels to my eldest cousin, and we will travel thousands of miles to join him He, it's not good that he can't take out any gift."

Qi Haoran agreed when he heard it, nodded in agreement, put the banknote next to his body, and then stuffed the silver ingot into the bag and threw it aside.

The two of them were so casual about the money that those who watched from a distance on the mountain gritted their teeth, "The rich are different, so much money is just thrown aside so casually."

A burly man wiped his knife and said with a sneer, "That's because they have more money in their pockets, the ones on the ground are nothing to mention."

He gave a condescending glance, put away the knife and said: "Go, be careful, that young man with a white face is very smart, don't let him see the flaws, you have seen the kung fu of that young man with a round face It won't be a problem to knock down forty or fifty of us."

After finishing speaking, he turned his blade, and said with a cold face: "If the whereabouts are revealed, they may not kill us, but the master knows that the matter will be exposed and will definitely use our blood to sacrifice the flag."

Everyone felt chilled, and immediately became extremely cautious. Yu Niang in the team even grabbed her daughter's arm fiercely, and whispered: "Cry when mother tells you to cry."

Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran at the foot of the mountain were completely unaware of the danger coming. They were lucky today, and Qi Haoran took out a big pheasant after walking around half a circle.

Qi Haoran hung the pheasant on the branch with a smile, and said proudly: "We will eat this at night."

Fan Zijin couldn't help smiling, but before his smile fell, he saw Qi Haoran frowning and looking towards the road.

Fan Zijin followed his gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I heard yelling and crying."

Fan Zijin listened carefully and found that he didn't hear anything, but he didn't doubt Qi Haoran's judgment, thought for a while and said, "Look at me for a while, don't intervene decisively."

Qi Haoran nodded solemnly.

Soon, a group of people appeared at the corner of the road. Two burly men with knives drove an old woman, a young woman and a little girl to this side.

Both of them frowned slightly. Needless to say, Qi Haoran couldn't help but move his fingers when he saw the two burly men pushing the old woman forward fiercely, but he still looked at Fan Zijin, waiting for his decision.

Fan Zijin also frowned fiercely. If he encountered such a thing in the capital, he probably would not have seen it. However, in the past month, he has been doing good deeds and helping others almost every day. Seeing the habit of "drawing swords to help when injustice" is unavoidable. At this time, it is unacceptable to see the old and weak women and children being bullied by two burly men with big knives in their hands.

He glanced at Qi Haoran who had the same eyebrows, and waved casually: "Go and rescue him."

Qi Haoran rushed forward immediately, and a swallow turned around and flew in front of them. He didn't land at all, and kicked out with both feet, kicking the two big men with big knives flying out.

The old woman and Yuniang, mother and daughter were stunned, and they sat down on the ground and stared at Qi Haoran dumbfounded.

Qi Haoran landed in front of them, and sneered at the two strong men: "I saved their young master, why don't you get out?"

The two strong men held their chests and shouted: "You young man is so unreasonable. They owed us money, but they wanted to send them back to repay the debt, and they didn't want to kill them. Why should we be guilty?"

Qi Haoran stared, and was about to curse, when he saw another strong man raised his eyebrows and said: "It's only natural to pay debts, and we are justified wherever we go. How can you beat people without asking indiscriminately?"

Qi Haoran blushed, turned to look at them, and asked: "You really owe them money?"

The old woman nodded timidly, and said: "I owe five taels, but they charge twenty taels for rolling interest. Our family can only make up five taels, how can we get twenty taels? They want to take us Going to the city, they said they would sell us for money, the old woman had already lived enough, and she sold it, and I only pitied my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, their lives would also be ruined.”

Yu Niang covered her face and cried, and gently pinched the daughter in her arms, and the little girl in her arms also cried loudly with "Wow".

Qi Haoran's heart softened immediately, and hesitantly looked in Fan Zijin's direction.

It was right to pay back the debt. Although Qi Haoran didn't like the two strong men, he couldn't beat them away like this, but the three of them were indeed pitiful.

Fan Zijin could understand what Qi Haoran was thinking just by looking at Qi Haoran's eyes. He rolled his eyes secretly, took out an ingot of twenty taels of silver from his bag, and asked, "Why do you owe them five taels of silver?"

"Because my son was seriously ill before and had no money to buy medicine, the old woman had the courage to borrow money, but she didn't know that her son was not saved in the end, and she took the family with her." After speaking, she wept.

During this period of time, Fan Zijin had been in contact with the people at the lowest level, so he naturally knew that the poor people could not afford to be sick or die, otherwise it would not be the same as before, and they would definitely fall to the lowest ebb.

He carefully observed the faces of the two strong men, and seeing that there was no difference, he believed it in his heart.

And the two strong men also said angrily: "We agreed on the interest rate before you borrowed the money, but we made an agreement with you. Since you want to borrow, you should think about how to pay it back. It was also agreed at that time." If you can't afford it, you can pay it yourself, why do you have to be in such a mournful state now?"

"Okay," Fan Zijin said with a sneer, "isn't it just twenty taels? I'll pay it for them."

After finishing speaking, he threw the silver ingot in his hand to them, stretched out his hand and said, "Where is the IOU?"

The two strong men bit the silver ingot to make sure it was real, and then returned the IOU to him. Fan Zijin saw that the writing on it was crooked, and the borrower below had only a fingerprint, so he showed it to the old woman, and he was sure it was them. The IOU was burned on the spot.
