Chapter 27 This is Luck
The chief of the village disappeared like a gust of wind in front of the unfortunate caravan led by Su Luo. A dozen people looked at each other. The oil transport team sent by the town felt a little embarrassed and said, "How about we go back and get some more oil for you?"
Su Luo said that the only space left in my container now is my stomach, and the capacity is not big.
Fatty Xue pounded his chest and came over and said, "I rented the carriage for you, and it is in my name."
Su Luo rolled her eyes at him and said, "Aren't you just passing by?"
Fatty Xue squatted on the ground and drew circles. "That was just a temporary solution."
Su Luo snorted at him, turned to the ten-man oil transport team and said, "You guys go back, we can walk the rest of the way on our own."
The oil transport team was composed of simple people. Seeing that there was really no point in him staying, he said goodbye without saying anything polite.
Su Luo was stunned for a while, then suddenly raised his head and shouted to the sky for two minutes, then he let out a long breath, hopped forward like a picnic, and looked back and sighed, "I feel so light without the oil."
Zhou Chongwen really had no words to comfort her. In just a few months, he witnessed the highest level of God's toy with people.
He followed Su Luo and gently held her hand, then held it a little tighter to show his determination to give her strength. He said in a voice so gentle that it could melt everything: "Life is full of problems, but there is nothing that cannot be overcome."
Su Luo admitted that she was touched at that moment, because it was a rare thing for such a self-proclaimed gentleman to break the barrier between men and women and comfort her by touching her. Of course, this also indirectly showed that this guy's sympathy for her had reached a very high level.
"What is it?" Su Luo showed her signature smile again, raised her eyebrows and curled her lips, "There are still thirty taels at home. I don't believe that I, Su Luo, can starve to death here?"
Zhou Chongwen smiled, as if he was relieved, but Su Luo saw a hint of worry hidden in his eyes. She suddenly felt uncomfortable and pointed in the direction where the wind disappeared. She cursed, "I am also as beautiful as a rosy cloud. Why do you look down on me? You are blind!"
Zhou Chongwen choked, suddenly pulled Su Luo's bangs, and said with a smile: "He has no eyes."
Su Luo felt even more uncomfortable, turned around and walked forward, saying as he walked: "Why do I feel like you're happy that the goods are lost?"
Zhou Si quickly passed her and said, "Because I saw strength."
Su Luo bent over and vomited for a long time. Fatty Xue came over to greet her after he finished vomiting not far away, "This kid is really awesome!"
The three of them, combined with their character modeling, could have gone to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures if they had a picky monk named Sha and a white horse. Unfortunately, they didn't have a white horse, and they had lost their car halfway to Shen County, so it was impossible for them to arrive before dusk. Even if they arrived, they were penniless and couldn't walk back to Henan from Shandong.
Su Luo glanced at Fatty Xue and asked, "Where is your nearest business?"
"It's still far away." Fatty Xue couldn't walk anymore, so he squatted on the side of the road and gasped. "It's another 80 miles past Shen County. Oh, by the way, you have to pay me for the ride back."
The carriage was rented in his name, so naturally he had to pay for it if it was lost.
"Why don't you just not go back to hand in the car?" Su Luo gave him a move and told him to run.
Fatty Xue looked at her with disdain and patted his chest, "Businessmen must be honest."
Su Luo rolled her eyes at him and said, "A passerby is not qualified to say such things."
Fatty Xue squatted aside and drew circles again. "That was just a temporary solution."
They walked from afternoon to evening, and then from evening to midnight. They stayed outside Shen County for a night. The next day, Fatty Xue took off his insole, used the two copper coins inside to buy ten steamed buns, and continued on their way, heading towards Fatty Xue's shop.
He didn't explain much about the copper coins in Fatty Xue's insoles, but just sighed as if he remembered something. Su Luo wanted to ask more, but Zhou Si, chewing on a steamed bun that smelled like insoles, stopped her, saying that everyone has past events that they don't want to talk about. Fatty Xue immediately got anxious and said, "Why are you so considerate? If you ask me another question, I'll tell you."
Actually, it's nothing. The money was stuffed into the pocket by Fatty Xue's mother, who said that her son was doing business and needed to make money step by step. Even though the family was well off, she still insisted on sewing insoles for her son herself, not for anything else but out of affection. Fatty Xue only felt comfortable when stepping on the insoles sewn by his mother. Now that he has taken them apart, he feels a little emotional.
Su Luo didn't know whether to believe him or not. Everyone can be sentimental. Hundreds of years later, an official was thrown into prison. Before being sentenced to death, he tearfully confessed that his greatest regret in life was that he could not see the complete solution to the problem of food and clothing in poor areas. After hearing this, the prison guards next to him almost took turns to slap him in the face. This guy was convicted of corruption.
With steamed buns in their stomachs, the three of them moved faster. They estimated that they would reach the town where Fatty Xue's business was located before dark and enjoy the delicious food.
Su Luo said that he would report the case to the city-level city, in case Chuanfeng Village was destroyed one day, he could get some compensation. Fatty Xue agreed immediately and suggested to Su Luo that we should report more and he would be your witness.
As they were talking, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came closer and closer, and it sounded like there were quite a few people. Just as the three people were envious of others having a means of transportation, the horse hoof sounds slowed down, and four uniformed yamen runners grabbed the reins and blocked their way.
“Are you selling oil?”
Su Luo secretly asked Fatty Xue, "Selling oil is not illegal, right?" He only heard that in ancient times, people were not allowed to sell salt casually.
Fatty Xue also scratched his head and said he hadn’t heard of it. Was there a new system?
Seeing them hesitate, the four officers glanced at each other, one of them kept watch, while the other three captured one of them, carried them on horseback and returned to Shen County.
It's unjust. They're just selling oil... No, the oil has been stolen, and we still want to arrest them.
Su Luo tried to explain several times along the way, but was speechless due to the bumpy ride. The same went for Zhou Si and Fatty Xue. The three of them returned to Shen County with stars in their eyes, met the county magistrate and eighteen fat men of varying degrees, asked them questions, but before they could say that their oil was stolen, gongs and drums sounded outside the yamen. The county magistrate took them affectionately and walked out, introducing to the people of Shen County that these three were the heroes who had defeated Chuanfeng Village, and that the county would fulfill its promise and reward them.
The three of them were dumbfounded. Before they knew what was happening, they were sent back to Henan with their rewards and praised all the way. On the way, they went to two small towns to give reports on how they had cleverly broken through Chuanfeng Village.
Nothing else, the three people just wanted to sigh that the ups and downs of life are really too exciting. The unlucky Yiluanfeng grabbed the oil and returned to the village. Perhaps he was too curious about this oil that could not be extinguished by water. He ignored Su Luo's warning to be careful when playing with fire. Somehow he caught fire, and the fire was so fierce that it was no less than the one in Taoyuan Town.
A survivor of the mountain stronghold who turned into a tainted witness said that the oil was sent to the mountain by some people with a purpose, which directly led to the collapse of the mountain stronghold. Su Luo looked at the witness carefully and found that he was not among the people who robbed him, so it is very likely that he did not know much about the truth. In order to gain merit, he made up a story for himself.
Three thousand taels. A joint reward from the Shen County government and eighteen businesses, plus a plaque with the words "Evil Slayer". After the Shen County government learned that Su Luo had donated 500 dan of grain to Taoyuan Town "for free", it reported to the court and requested a reward.
The reward of three thousand taels of silver was divided into two parts at the strong request of Fatty Xue. Su Luo got two thousand taels, and Zhou Chongwen, who had stood up, got one thousand taels. Fatty Xue got nothing, because he was just a passerby.
Oh, no, he also got money. Su Luo paid him for the carriage.
Su Luo gained fame and fortune overnight. She couldn't sleep well at night and felt like she was dreaming. She opened her eyes and saw that she was at home. She reached out touched a big box. It was silver. Su Luo planned to deposit it at dawn.
It was not a dream. Su Luo sat on the bed and smiled proudly. He pointed to the sky and said, "Thank you, God. You play like this just to give me a strong heart, right?" Just as he was laughing, he heard a sound in the hall. He quickly held back his laughter and called out, "Xiao Yi?"
There was no response. Su Luo got off the ground, leaned half of his body into the main room, and called out again: "Mom?"
At this time, the main room was filled with moonlight, and a figure could be clearly seen standing in the room. Judging from the height, it was definitely not the height that should appear in this house at this time. Su Luo screamed and was about to retreat, but a heavy object was placed on her shoulder. Su Luo took a look and saw that the reflection was a knife. Following the blade, Su Luo saw a handsome face with a ruffian look, with long eyebrows slightly raised, as if he was looking for her to settle the score .
