Chapter Sixteen: Don't judge a person by their size, th

Marquis. Liu Zhiheng and his wife, as well as Wen Yushi and his wife, were also present.""The Li family is slaughtering pigs and sheep, the smell of food wafts from their yard. Even I'm getting hung...Wu Cuifang also quickly pleaded, "Mother, I watched him, I tied his hands up. If he dares to make mistakes again, I'll beat him. Mother, our Wu family only has him left, please don't abandon him!"

Having said that, she didn't dare to plead with Li Lao Er. Instead, she pulled at her two sons.

Jia Ren felt conflicted, unwilling to see his mother like this but also disgusted by his uncle. He was caught in the middle, feeling incredibly awkward. He lowered his head and blushed furiously.

Li Laotai certainly couldn't bear to part with her grandson, so she hugged Jiayin and turned to leave.

Everyone hurried to pack their belongings and follow closely behind.

Wu Cuiflower was unusually clever this once, and she dragged her younger brother along, stumbling after her.

With Wu Erdog's involvement, the Li family didn't dare to stay any longer for fear of causing more trouble.

Li Laotai called the second and fourth sons but they went west to search for people from a merchant caravan in Junyang County.

Li Laer can talk and negotiate, Li Laosi has divine power for protection.

The two brothers first went into a teahouse, then to a large courtyard filled with carriages and horses, and finally ran back with faces full of joy.

"Mother, I found one! There's a鏢 team from Junyang County. We agreed to pay them ten taels of silver to take our family with them. We can stay in the same big dormitory tonight as them and depart tomorrow morning. But we need to bring our own water for the journey!"

"Really That's too smooth, but aren't you afraid the road won't be safe!"

Li Lao Tai was delighted. She kissed her soundly sleeping granddaughter several times and smiled.

"Our family is so lucky to have Fu Niu'er! Everything has been going smoothly ever since she arrived!"

Hiding behind the crowd, Wu Cuifang secretly curled her lips. Such a little kid, not even capable of speaking a word.

Anything good that happens, it always falls on her. She's not afraid of living too long!

The Li family didn't care about her grumbling and hurried to gather their things and enter the courtyard.

Old Mrs. Li was a good person and divided the snacks given by Mrs. Sun into a box, asking Old Second Li to give it to the head of the bodyguard team.

The head enforcer was a sturdy, middle-aged man with a deep voice.

As expected, after receiving the box of sweets, he became much more polite and chatted pleasantly with their family.

"You can call me Old Liu, that's fine. Our鏢局 is right here in the county town. So, we being able to walk all the way here together, it must be fate."

"Brother, that's great! I'll be troubling you guys for the next few days."

Old Lady Li was also polite, smiling and pointing at her grandchildren.

"We are just an ordinary family, here to pay respects. But our son is hardworking and our daughter-in-law can cook well. If you need any help along the way, just give us a shout."

Liu Biatou was also pleased to hear this. Traveling together with a companion is safer, as they are more likely to follow instructions and prevent delays in the journey. After all, when things go wrong, it affects the whole group.

"Alright then, elder sister. When there's work to be done, I won't be shy."

His eyes were sharp, and he saw that the people from the Li family were dressed cleanly and their expressions were calm. They didn't look like bad people at all, which put him more at ease.

Old Li had silver notes given by the Madam of her son-in-law, and there was still some savings left in the family before fleeing their home.

But to get to Jinyang County, I'd need to furnish a new home. It wouldn't be wise to waste time here unnecessarily.

Then the whole family bought only thirty steamed buns made of two kinds of flour, a few cabbages and radishes, and replenished some millet and glutinous rice.

I also bought Tao Hongying twenty eggs as a bonus. I boiled them on the way and let her eat them to replenish her body. It would be even better if she had more breast milk.

After all, with no nanny goats left, Jia Yin's food supply depended entirely on her mother.

At night, Jiayin was held by Taohongying and slept on the big bunk.

On the other side, separated only by a coarse linen curtain, were the brothers of the martial arts instructor and Li Laoer, along with several members of their family.

Jia Yin slept too much in the daytime, and hearing the rumbling sound of the mountain made her even worse at falling asleep.

She could only hold her fingers, her mind wandering in the space, feeding chickens, pigs, sheep...

The little lamb doesn't know that its mother has already been sent away, bleating all over the place. Fortunately, it can already eat grass.

Even a cabbage can make it wag its short tail with delight.

In her past life, Jiayin was a recluse who even when she left the city to return to her hometown, still sought solitude.

So, everything inside and outside the house was very well-stocked, with many things.

It's fine, I wouldn't even want to leave the house once a month.

Now, looking back, she was truly grateful for it.

Not to mention, there were three hundred kilograms of vacuum-packaged glutinous rice stored, as well as five or six bags of white flour. There was also a considerable amount of miscellaneous grains like millet and cornmeal.

There are two refrigerators, one stocked with meat and seafood. They have beef, lamb, pork, ribs, spareribs, swordfish, prawns, and more.

The other one is filled with frozen noodles, various convenient fried foods, and ice cream, etc.

Not to mention the various vegetables in the backyard, and the pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks raised there.

There are also dozens of live fish in the pond at the courtyard corner, including carp, grass carp, and crucian carp.

Although these things sound like a lot, they might still be insufficient to help the Li family.

After all, there are dozens of us, especially the several brothers, each one a big eater, little devils, they'd eat me alive...

But having something is better than nothing. After settling down, plan how to help your family get rich, at least to ensure food and clothing.

Jiayin didn't want her hard-earned second chance at childhood to be spent in hunger and cold...

Her little head bore the weight of pressure that shouldn't have come at this age, and soon she drifted off to sleep...

The next morning, the鏢隊 set off under the dawn light.

Jia Yin was still held in Li Laotai's arms, sitting on the carriage's shaft.

Li Laotai was afraid of being blown by the morning wind, so she carefully pulled her clothes to cover herself.

The鏢 guards were all curious. The Li family let their grandsons walk below, but they treated their granddaughter so protectively.

Even, the young boys of the Li family didn't feel a bit wronged. Instead, one moment they were picking wildflowers to tease their younger sister, the next they were asking grandma if she was thirsty.

Liu Biaotou was a hearty and generous man. Seeing that Li Laosi was strong, honest, and reliable, he took a liking to him and often chatted with him.

Liu Biaotou was a good archer, and seeing that Lao Si also had a longbow, he naturally had to say a few more words.

Soon he became close friends with Li Laosi, and they made arrangements to practice sparring.

They walked until sunset before the鏢隊 stopped to set up camp.

Lao Si and Liu Biaotou went into the woods and came back soon, bringing two wild chickens and a wild rabbit.

"Brother, your archery skills are amazing! You hit every target with such power! Why don't you join us Travel the world for a few more years. When I retire, you'll definitely be able to become the leader."

Liu Biatou truly liked Li Laosi and praised him profusely, genuinely admiring his talent.

Li Laosì was also moved, but since his family hadn't settled down yet, he couldn't agree. He said,

"The headhunter got a reward, so we went to Jinyang County to seek refuge with relatives. After settling down, if there's nothing to do at home, I might really go find the headhunter for some food."

Liu Biatou didn't force it either, and called someone to roast rabbits and wild chickens.

Tao Hongying, as usual, was cooking for her daughter. Jia Yin secretly added extra ingredients to the rice cooker, once again filling the Li family's stomachs.

Actually, there wasn't much space left for Xiao Mi. She really wanted to expand her territory, but with the鏢隊 nearby, it was best to be cautious.

Li Laosi bought a tambourine for his daughter at the dock yesterday. Right now, he's teasing her and smiling with pearly white teeth, not even a trace of the fierce and ruthless demeanor he had in the forest just moments ago.Both Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice have to consider the emperor's opinion and Empress Dowager's feelings, so they wouldn't reveal the results too quickly. This gives us at least two months o...
