In the year of disaster, the tough peasant girl is not easy to mess with

Even if he told it, it would probably only bring trouble to his family and would definitely not end well.

It would be more serious for them to find a place to settle down safely.

The village chief was relieved to see that they were still obedient.

He is no longer the village chief, and he can't guarantee that these people will listen to him.

Now that everyone could hear him say a few words, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The young master took them out of the mountains and forests, which saved their lives. They couldn't do such ungrateful things.

Everyone rested at the foot of the mountain for a while, ate something, and then prepared to continue setting off.

After walking for a while, someone realized that the three people behind him, Mr. Chen and Liu Dahua, had not followed.

He hurriedly ran to report to Village Chief Chen.

After hearing this, Village Chief Chen just frowned and said nothing.

"Other people's affairs have nothing to do with us. They can go wherever they like. Anyway, as long as they don't harm us, that's fine."

Everyone ignored them and continued to set off honestly.

It's not too far from Guning County.

They found a safer place to sleep for the night.

The next day, by noon, we had arrived in Guning County.

Everyone looked at the city wall in the distance and the crowd standing underneath, feeling their hearts pounding.

"Village Chief, what happened in front? Why are there so many people gathered together? Is there any danger?"

"Is there a mob causing trouble? There are too many people here. Do we still want to go there?"

Village Chief Chen glared at the person who spoke. The person was so frightened that he immediately shrank his neck and retreated to the back.

He then said, "What time is it now? Don't you know it yourself? There are some things you shouldn't say, don't say them, don't get yourself into trouble."

Then he said to Chen Dalin, "Dalin, go to the front to inquire and see what's going on over there? Others, don't be anxious, wait until the news comes back before making plans."

Chen Dalin immediately obeyed his father's order and ran to the front to inquire. Two young men went with him.

I don't know what happened in front of me. If only one person goes there, Village Chief Chen can't rest assured.

Everyone looked ahead anxiously, waiting for Chen Dalin and the others to come back and give them accurate news.

But with the village chief suppressing him, they couldn't go there to inquire in person.

After a while, Chen Dalin and the others came back, but their faces were not very good when they came back.

"Dad, I have inquired clearly. There are also many people who have fled in Guning County. Most of the people at the door are people who have fled. But the county magistrate has said that if you want to go in, you can, but you have to pay money."

Everyone was relieved when they heard that they could pass.

"Can you really go there? That would be great!"

"Thank God, I'm finally able to go into the city."

"As long as you can get in, you can pay some money."

But seeing Chen Dalin's expression so ugly, Village Chief Chen also discovered something was wrong.

"How much silver does it cost to enter the city?"

Chen Dalin pursed his lips and said, "One tael of silver."

Everyone was relieved when they heard one tael of silver, "It's okay, it's only one tael of silver."

But Village Chief Chen knew his son very well. If he only had one tael of silver, he wouldn't have this expression.

He asked, "Do we need one tael of silver in total, or one tael of silver for each person?"

Chen Dalin's mood became obviously depressed, and his frown deepened.

Only then did the others realize that something was wrong. They all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy and their expressions were not very good.

"Da Lin, tell me quickly, should it be one tael of silver in total, or one tael of silver for each person?"

"Hurry up and tell us, we are about to get anxious."

Chen Dalin sighed and said, "Based on head count, one tael of silver per person."

Everyone's expressions of joy just now suddenly froze, and they collapsed instantly.

"Everyone has one tael of silver, doesn't it cost our lives?"

"Damn it! We all came here to escape from trouble. Where can we give a tael of silver to officials like them? It's too evil."

Village Chief Chen glared at the person who spoke, "Do you want to die? Shut your stinky mouth."

The man seemed to have just realized what he said and hurriedly covered his mouth.

Village Chief Chen also had a headache.

These people don't have any brains. They have already arrived at the door of someone's house and said such treacherous words. If the county magistrate hears it, they will not be able to go there again.

Hearing Village Chief Chen's voice, everyone seemed to have found a backbone and hurriedly gathered together to ask him for an idea.

"Village chief, please help me make an idea. We all listen to you. What do you say we should do? What should we do?"

"Yes, we don't want to stay here forever. Let's ask the village chief to help us make an idea."

The village chief glanced at everyone and snorted coldly, "What ideas can I have? Can I give you money, or can I speak in front of the county magistrate? Can you use your brains? Since the county magistrate has said so If this is the case, then of course there is money in the past, and there is no money left behind.”

Everyone was in pain, "But we really have no money."

"Village Chief, please think of another way!"

The village chief himself doesn't have enough money, so how can he come up with any good ideas?

Ye Lingyao glanced at the wolf skins behind her and said, "Why don't you go in and sell these wolf skins? Maybe you can get some money."

When everyone heard this, their eyes instantly lit up.

"Yeah, why did we forget about these wolf skins!"

"Yes, yes, as long as we sell these wolf skins, we can still get enough money to buy them."

Now that there is a solution, everyone is very happy.

"But how much money can these wolf skins be sold for? Can all of us really get there?"

"Yes...there are so many of us."

The village chief sneered, "It's been so many years, fellow villagers, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. These wolf skins were hunted down by everyone together, not to subsidize someone. I killed a few wolves by myself. Don’t you have any idea?”

Everyone was speechless and turned their attention to the two brothers and sisters of the Ye family.

The corner of Ye Lingyao's mouth twitched, "What do you want me to do? I don't have any money. If you don't find a way on your own, how can you expect me to give you money?"

Everyone also smiled awkwardly.

No matter how brave they are, they can't let their savior pay this much money.

Besides, these two children are only in their teens, how can they have the nerve to say such things?

In the end, they all shut up.
