Chapter 177: Ten taels of silver deducted
Lu Xiaohao knew very well about Yang Song's ability to find out information, but he happened to not find out any information at all, and was suspected several times by sensitive people in the caravan.
Even at the beginning, when they followed the caravan, they were constantly being watched by people in the caravan, and they were all children under ten years old.
If the Baijiabao caravan did not have strict clan rules, it would be impossible for the entire caravan to do this.
Moreover, there are so many capable people and strangers in the caravan, and every one of them outside is scrambled by the noble families to support them.
But in the Baijiapu caravan, no matter how powerful the people are, they still go to find water sources, go hunting, cook, and teach children...
They are not arrogant or superior just because they have such great abilities.
Lu Xiaohao remembered that when he was resting on the way last time, Baitao just said he wanted some fruit from a tree, and three people immediately jumped out of the caravan to pick it.
The other two people angrily scolded the man who climbed the tree for being cunning because he was a step too late.
After scolding her, they seemed to be still angry. They turned around and looked at Baitao pitifully and aggrievedly. She looked like a little daughter-in-law who had been treated harshly, which was really unbearable to look at.
In the end, the two men searched for a while unconvinced and found another tree of the same type. They climbed up and picked a basket of fruits and brought them back to Bai Tao. They were then satisfied.
If the hidden clan was extremely mysterious in Lu Xiaohao's heart before, now that he saw the Baijiabao caravan, he felt mysterious and confused.
How did Lu Xiaohao know that the people in Taohua Village were like this because of their aunt Baitao.
To the villagers, they were originally a group of farmers with their faces turned to the loess and their backs to the sky. Even if they became so powerful that they could reach the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, they still had to behave themselves in Peach Blossom Village.
The abilities they have are given by my aunt, the belongings they have accumulated along the way are also given by my aunt, and the money they have is also given by my aunt little by little.
If my aunt hadn't told them to keep the money for self-defense, they wouldn't have had to carry one or two hundred taels of silver with them.
The Peach Blossom Fairy protected their ancestors, and now my aunt is also protecting them, leading them to eat well and drink well.
Every time the villagers think about it, they are both grateful and ashamed. They just wish they could do more to repay Baitao. Who else dares to make fun of Qiao in the village.
A little while ago, there was a trembling child over one year old who was walking around. He happened to run up to Baitao's sedan chair. He supported the sedan chair and peeed, and immediately received a good spanking on his butt.
The child and his family were also made to kneel for a long time. They were still on the way to escape, otherwise they would have to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights.
Don't say that children are young and ignorant, only children should be taught when they are young.
If children are ignorant, how can adults be ignorant?
This child's behavior is as serious as digging up his ancestor's grave and peeing on the head of the coffin during the Qingming Festival.
Such unfilial and unjust behavior was not beaten to death because Baitao spoke up to stop it.
"Master?"
"Master???"
Lu Xiaohao came to his senses: "What's the matter?"
"Today's main course is horsemeat stewed with potatoes." Yang Song finished his words and asked carefully, "What did the young master have in mind?"
The master looked wrong just now.
"Nothing." Lu Xiaohao had no intention of telling Yang Song about his conjecture.
If the Baijiabao caravan is a hidden clan, it would be a good thing for the people today.
After wandering for more than half a year, Lu Xiaohao is no longer the aloof and aloof person he used to be. He understands the suffering of the people and the difficulties of the poor people better.
Seeing that his master was unwilling to say anything, Yang Song stopped asking.
The master always has his own considerations and worries. As a subordinate, he only needs to protect his master well.
Although he didn't know what was bothering his master, Yang Song began to use his talkative nature again. "Sir, I just went to get food, and I saw a lot of horse meat. It seems that the caravan killed a lot of horses, enough to last for a long time..."
"Yes." Lu Xiaohao: "The caravan also consumed a lot of supplies along the way. It just happens that with this horse meat, it can be more comfortable."
If the caravan does not have supplies along the way, it cannot give some to others.
That is to say, two or three cars of supplies would be replenished along the way, so Lu Xiaohao felt that Taohua Village must have known about the situation in Yancheng.
If you light a bonfire in the mountain col, you can see the flames at the bottom of the mountain.
The rebel camp at the foot of the mountain saw several fires in the sky above the mountain col, and cruelty flashed in their eyes.
But soon, the rebels were dumbfounded.
"What is that——"
Before he could finish his words of surprise, there was a "boom" and the rebel camp exploded with several loud noises.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack..."
The rebel camp was in chaos, and in the mountain col, Bai Youfu and the others, who had just fired the explosive crossbow bolts, were discussing.
"Look, I just said that the angle is not adjusted properly, it is a little higher."
"Is it a problem of location?"
"The orientation is okay, but we still need to lower the angle by 0.5."
"0.7, maybe. The explosion just now should have hit the target of the No. 2 ballista in this battalion."
"That's right. If you're like this, in my aunt's words, you've missed the target."
Bai Youcai squinted one eye and looked at the night vision goggles with the other to observe the situation below.
He raised his head and looked at the people who fired the arrows with disgust, and said: "I fired five arrows, but I couldn't get thirty heads. Can you be more reliable?!"
On the side, Bai Duojin heard this and immediately said solemnly: "Brothers, I can tell you, please take it easy and don't cause any more problems."
"I asked my aunt, this explosive crossbow arrow costs 800 coins, it's not cheap."
As he said that, Bai Duojin recorded it in his notebook, then dialed the abacus, and said: "Just now, each of you wasted a crossbow bolt, so each of you will be deducted ten taels of silver."
"Any questions?"
Others shook their heads: "No problem!"
They don’t know what a coin is, but it probably means money.
But there is absolutely no way that the eight hundred coins are worth eight hundred cents. Therefore, this coin is probably the name of the silver coin from my aunt's side.
Such a powerful killer cost 800 coins, and they didn't have a single coin. They all relied on their aunt, who naturally didn't waste it if she could.
Since you haven't done a good job, you should be fined if you deserve it. If rewards and punishments are clear, everyone will not take chances and cherish them.
This idea was not proposed by Baitao, but was decided upon by the people of Taohua Village after discussion.
The fine will be recorded in an account book. After finding a suitable resettlement place, I will build a big yard for my aunt. The house will be built as big as the villa with a swimming pool that my aunt said...
"Come on, come on, I'll come. This time, I will definitely be able to kill a tent with one arrow!"
"No, no, no, it's me. After the test shot just now, I am more confident. I will definitely get a few more heads this time."
