Qiao Ran waved her hands helplessly:

"Aunt Qin, you're here again! I said, I saved you because your heart-wrenching worries about your children touched me, and after getting to know me, I felt that you are all good people. I didn't help you because I wanted to repay you. , I just feel that good people shouldn’t have to suffer like that. From now on, you can follow us with peace of mind and don’t have to be so open-minded."

Mrs. Qin was so moved that she didn't know what to say.

She knew the situation very well. If Qiao Ran didn't lend a helping hand, the three of them would probably not survive. At least little An'er would definitely die in such a situation.

This is a real life-saving grace! She is really willing to spend her life to repay.

Qiao Ran lowered her head and saw Xiao An'er holding an oil paper bag and looking at her, looking pitiful as she wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat.

She couldn't help but smile, reached out and took out a donkey roll from the oil paper bag and put it on his little hand.

"Xiao An, it's okay. My sister bought this specially for you. Eat it quickly!"

Xiao An'er swallowed her saliva and looked up at her mother.

Mrs. Qin smiled and nodded, and little An'er raised her hands happily, insisting that her mother take a bite of the donkey roll in her hand, and then she happily started eating it herself.

At this time, several little guys who had finished sharing with the elders also ran over and surrounded the An'er brothers, chattering about sharing their snacks with them.

An'er and Wen'er couldn't resist the enthusiasm of their friends, so they took out the snacks in their hands to share.

Several children gathered around and happily ate all kinds of delicious snacks that Sister Ran bought for them.

When Mrs. Qin saw this scene, she was so moved that she couldn't help crying. She secretly vowed to repay Qiao Ran and the Qiao family well.

She wiped away her tears, bowed deeply to Qiao Ran, then turned back and continued cooking.

In this way, she would feel better only if she tried her best to do what she could and did everything she could to repay the Qiao family.

Qiao Ran looked at the cute scene of the little guys happily sharing snacks, turned around and walked back with a smile.

At this time, Zhao Tieniu came over sheepishly with a small bowl. It turned out that he was here to borrow salt.

Qiao Ran was a little surprised: "Can't you buy salt in the city?"

It stands to reason that everyone has some money now. If they don’t have salt, they should go to the city to buy it!

Zhao Tieniu scratched his head and said frustratedly:

"So many of us went into the city together. When those people saw our clothes, they waved us out and said they had no salt in the store. But when I just entered the door, I clearly saw someone buying a small amount of salt. When the jars of salt are released, they clearly don’t want to sell salt to us.”

Qiao Ran understood that salt was a rare commodity in this era, it was strictly controlled by the government, and the price was also very expensive.

I don't know if the angry Tongpan was still angry after he returned, so he ordered the salt shop not to buy salt for them.

It was the shopkeepers who heard the news and wanted to hoard the salt, and then sell it at a high price when the refugees came and the city people panicked to stock up on food and salt.

She knew that if she went to the city to buy salt at this moment, she would either have to pay a high price or they would not sell it at all.

She thought about it and took out a large jar of salt from the large sack she brought back.

Opening the lid, under Zhao Tieniu's surprised eyes, a jar full of white salt was revealed.

Qiao Ran took a small bowl from Zhao Tieniu's hand, put the bowl directly into the jar, and scooped out a full bowl of salt.

When Zhao Tieniu came to his senses, his hand was stuffed with a bowl full of salt. He shrank his hand in shock and almost dropped the bowl.

"This... this, this, this... why are there so many? This is too much. I, I will just borrow a little and buy it when I meet my house in the town ahead..."

His first question was to ask Qiao Ran how he got so much salt, and then he was shocked to realize that Qiao Ran had given him so much, and he subconsciously wanted to give it back.

Qiao Ran smiled and said: "We have to walk for more than half a month to the next city. Even if we pass through other counties or small towns on the way, we won't be able to buy much salt. You can take it. I have a lot of it at home!"

Zhang Tieniu hesitated: "This...how is this so embarrassing? It must be very difficult for you to get this salt."

Qiao Ran thought to herself that it was really easy to get these salts.

These are all collected from the warehouse in the backyard of Prince Ping's Zuixian Tower. She still has a lot of them in her space!

My family couldn't eat much salt, so it was impossible to sell it. Selling private salt was a serious crime in ancient times that required beheading!

She had been thinking about how to take out the salt and distribute it to the villagers without making people suspicious, and now she had the opportunity.

She said to Zhao Tieniu: "Please go back and tell the village chief that I just saved the grandson of a grain and oil shopkeeper in the city, and the shopkeeper quietly gave me this jar of salt. So much salt, My family can’t finish all the food, so let the folks who have no salt at home come over and take some back for use!”

Zhao Tieniu opened his mouth wide and looked at Qiao Ran with admiration.

Sure enough, Qiao Ran is truly a little fairy boy!

He was able to get such a big jar of salt back, and he even kindly distributed it to everyone.

He thanked him gratefully, held the bowl full of salt in his hands, and carefully returned to his tent.

After Zhao Tieniu left, Qiao Ran showed the jar of salt to her family and explained that she wanted to share it with everyone.

Naturally, Mrs. Qiao and Chen Huiniang had no objections to this matter.

There is still enough salt at home, and if Ranran wants to share it with others, they will not stop her from getting it with her own skills.

As long as this thing is not taken out of Ran Ran's treasure bag and does not consume Ran Ran's blessing, it will be fine.

After a while, the old village chief, accompanied by his grandson, came over in a hurry on crutches.

In fact, Qiao Ran also found an opportunity along the way to drink spiritual spring water for the old village chief. The old village chief's body has become much stronger, and using a cane is actually a habit.

He walked over quickly and opened his mouth in shock when he saw the jar of white salt in front of Qiao Ran.

Such good salt, at first glance, looks like expensive fine salt eaten by rich people. How much silver is this big jar worth?

He pulled Qiao Ran aside and asked in a low voice:

"Ran Yatou, tell me honestly, was this jar of salt really given to you by someone else?"

The little old man's suspicious eyes looked from Qiao Ran's head to her feet.

He thought of Ran Yatou's light and strong figure when she was killing bandits, refugees and wild beasts. He suspected that this girl was relying on her own skills and that she could not have secretly taken the jar of salt from a wealthy family or a grain and oil shop. ?

Of course, he didn't suspect that Qiao Ran would steal other people's things. He just suspected that this girl secretly went to someone's backyard and brought a jar of salt out when the shops refused to sell them salt. She would definitely leave the corresponding amount of money when she left. .

He felt sorry for Qiao Ran and was worried that she had spent a lot of money to buy so much salt, so she couldn't give it to everyone for free.
