System: The Path of a Mortal Being Stronger Through Being a Mother

Chapter 22 The Mother of Unfilial Sons Part 22

She hesitated for a moment. 100 cubic meters of space is 20 taels of silver or 4000 taels of gold. Of course, it is more appropriate to spend gold. 20 taels of silver can be exchanged for 2 taels of gold in this world. In the ancient world, it is more cost-effective to spend silver.

Gritting her teeth, Lin Miao still spent 2 taels of gold to buy 500 cubic meters of space. Now, she has 610 cubic meters of space, which is enough to store ordinary things, but she has less than 1 taels of gold left. If she uses silver to buy this 500 cubic meters of space, she will get 100 million taels of silver. She doesn't have enough money and thinks it's too much of a loss. Forget it. When she has the chance in the future, she will exchange the silver for some gold in the ancient world to store and use it to buy things in the system.

She had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but that didn't stop her from packing up. She didn't stop until the main courtyard was clean.

He bought everything, including clothes and fabrics, that he liked.

She even took over most of the warehouses where people stored grain. It wasn't that she couldn't bear to empty them, but she was afraid that she would take up too much space and there would be no place to store their belongings in the future.

Lin Miao searched the houses of each master one by one, taking anything of value without wasting any drugs, and clearing the way with his fists.

Don’t even talk about innocence. How can the beneficiaries talk about innocence?

The entire prefectural government office fell into an eerie silence. If one ignored the fact that some things disappeared out of thin air, it would still be a beautiful night.

Before leaving, Lin Miao fed a pill into Ma Zhifu's mouth and said, "Go to sleep. You can dream about anything."

The wife of the prefect used itching powder to treat her, but the more she scratched, the more itchy it became. It itched so badly that her face was bruised. How could she still do bad things? No thanks.

Lin Miao has been staying in the prefectural mansion for quite some time, and she plans to leave.

At this time, a group of people broke in.

It turned out that someone from Gao's mansion came to report the situation to the prefect. He found something unusual and then thought about his own affairs, so he quietly withdrew and called for reinforcements.

Lin Miao didn't want to face off against the soldiers directly. The invisibility talisman was about to become ineffective, so she left quickly and ran back to the inn.

He returned to the inn, threw all his luggage into the space, took out a set of clean clothes and shoes, wiped his hands and face with the water stored in the space, checked that there was nothing wrong, and lay down.

I had just fallen asleep for a short while when I was woken up by a loud noise outside.

The courtyard of the inn was brightly lit. A team of soldiers surrounded the courtyard and asked all the guests to come out. Then they went into each room and searched it. They only said that there was a theft in Gao's house.

Lin Miao sneered in his heart. You see, even if the prefect was robbed, he dared not say a word and could only use Gao Wencai's name to search.

However, the prefect himself is in a deep sleep, so there is a limit to the amount of energy he can put into investigating.

I don’t know if the relevant officials are in charge of the search.

The officers and soldiers did not find any clues, but they did damage and take away many of the guests' belongings.

The guests staying here could only curse secretly, but they dared not speak out.

There was no peace outside that night.

Lin Miao didn't care and just took a good sleep in the room.

I can’t leave tomorrow anyway, so I might as well sleep for the whole morning.

She woke up at noon and asked the waiter to deliver toiletries and some delicious dishes. Lin Miao renewed the rent for another three days.

Sure enough, the city gate was not open. It was said that they were catching robbers...

Lin Miao originally wanted to go outside to buy some things and see the two families bustling, but she didn't expect that there were many soldiers and servants searching everywhere on the streets during the day. Lin Miao could only sit in the lobby of the inn, drinking tea and eating snacks while listening to some guests chatting about all sorts of things.

She actually knew more about the things in the capital, from big things like which rich man had a backer and which shop belonged to which high-ranking official, to small things like which man stole which widow and how to help others raise children. She felt that the tea she drank that day was really worth it and she was so happy that she ate a lot of food in the evening.

It’s just that the drunken duck served by the restaurant next door is so delicious.

Although the officers and soldiers don't allow people to walk on the streets, there are always people with connections.

Lin Miao has not been here long, and has always felt insecure and has been running around. During the few days when the city was under martial law, she stayed in the inn, ate well, drank well, and slept well, and her complexion has improved.

She stayed in the capital for four days. She was given some time to walk around the city in the next few days, but people were watching her. She didn't care and just strolled around leisurely, bought a lot of things, and tried a lot of snacks from famous restaurants.

It is estimated that the officials who later led the search saw that there was no hope of recovering the property and the prefect was unconscious, so they had no choice but to open the city gate.

No one knows who has interests in these money, but no matter how domineering the officials are, they have to keep the city gates closed, as they are afraid of getting into trouble.

Seeing that he had wasted quite some time, Lin Miao bought a donkey and rode back to Antai County.

It's not that she doesn't want to buy a horse to ride, one reason is that it's a bit eye-catching, and most importantly, she doesn't know how to ride a horse...

There are villages and towns along the way from the city to Antai County, but when she came here, she followed the caravan along the main road, but now she is taking the small road and will pass by some villages.

Lin Miao rode her donkey out of the city. The weather was a little cold, so she wore a cotton vest that she bought at a clothing store.

Because we were walking on a country road, we passed by villages and towns.

I have also met short-sighted men who wanted to make a fortune by robbing.

She was not polite either. She beat him up and left him half crippled. She made him neither dead nor alive, but made him suffer while he was alive. Being lenient to bad guys is being cruel to good guys.

She was not in a hurry and walked back leisurely.

In fact, donkeys are very fast and can run about 150 miles a day.

By nightfall, she had just arrived near the mountain where she had been robbed by bandits.

She took out the compass and checked, and the direction was correct.

She just wanted to think about those bandits, but she didn't know where they were.

Meeting is fate, and it cannot be forced. I don’t know if it is their bad fate.

There are so many mountains, it's hard to find. She doesn't have any experience, and it's too tiring to just try to find a dead mouse.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Miao decided to go back to town to rest for a night.

Suddenly a few people jumped out on the road. Hey, what a coincidence, one of them was the big man who led the group last time. He didn't know her, but she knew him.

Lin Miaoxin said: You guys came here to find me, don’t blame me.

A few bandits thought she was a village woman, and they robbed Lin Miao's donkey with a smile and searched her body.

Lin Miao really wanted to beat them to death, but, forget it, since she didn’t know the way, she would just stay and lead the way.

Are old women not women?

Wait till she crushes these guys with her dirty claws.

Search her body and tell her to wait. Fortunately, she bought a hidden talisman in advance to hide the space bracelet.

She had already put her knife into the space.

The bandit laughed loudly: "This stupid woman actually came here. Doesn't she know that this is the grandfathers' territory?"

They took away her cloth bag and backpack, and found nothing valuable inside, just some food.

These people burst into laughter.

Lin Miao: "Master, please spare my life..."

I have a low sense of humor. I hope you can laugh tomorrow too.

She had already scribbled on her face using something bought from the system, and it was estimated that even if Lin Miao's mother were alive, she wouldn't be able to recognize her.

Since she wanted to make a fortune, she of course thought it through carefully. Even though she had no experience, she had read books and watched movies, so she always thought of this.

It was not surprising that the bandits did not get anything from Lin Miao. What valuables could a peasant woman have?

There is a donkey, which can also be a good meal in the evening.

No matter how small a lice is, it's still meat.

Lin Miao pretended to beg for mercy, but she didn't kneel down. She just kept crying.

Several bandits discussed kidnapping her and taking her up the mountain: "This woman is a little old and ugly. If she can't be your wife, she can be your maid. She can also cook for you. If that doesn't work, you can sell her to a pawnshop in the city and get a few taels of silver."

Listen, is this human talk?

Lin Miao: You are ugly, your whole family is ugly, the kind that is ugly to the point of being an eyesore.

Anyway, she was taken to the mountain without being tied up! Lin Miao wanted to roll her eyes: If not you, who should I deal with? Robbery and gender discrimination, can't you just tie her up as a token of your respect?

She was originally looking for these people, so she naturally came up the mountain reluctantly.

The mountain is not small, with rows of houses, like a small village.

There were mostly men, but there were also women, old people, and children. However, all of them had a fierce look on their faces, or a bloody look.

Lin Miao is now particularly sensitive to people's aura.

It makes sense. Among those who would hang out with bandits, there wouldn’t be many good people.

After all, although the poor in this dynasty have a harder life, it is not to the point where they cannot survive, and the overall administration is still relatively clean.

Those who become bandits are either fugitives or those who do not work and like to get something for nothing.

Ordinary people are so easily contented that as long as they can survive, they will not think of becoming bandits.

Most of these men have fierce looks on their faces. When they do evil things for a long time, their facial features will change accordingly, and their hands look like they are stained with blood.

Lin Miao lowered her eyes, "Scumbags, don't run away! Tonight, the wronged souls are coming to claim my life."
