Chapter 180 The Kind Girl
He originally thought that the girl would agree, but unexpectedly she shook her head and whispered, "Sir, Jiaojiao still has family. If you leave like this, your family will be worried."
Xie Yunchi paused and looked back at her. This woman's current identity should be a refugee. She has a chance to escape from the fire pit, but she still has to consider her family. She seems to be a kind and good girl.
He thought about it for a moment and decided that since this girl had saved him, he must repay her.
"Are you willing to come with me? I will give your family food and a carriage to make their lives easier."
Hearing that they were going to take advantage of her again, Shen Jiaojiao was unwilling in her heart, but her face did not show it at all. She raised her head with a look of surprise:
"really?"
"In this case, Jiaojiao won't have to look for food anymore?"
Xie Yunchi nodded, but was thinking secretly in his heart, it seems that her family doesn't treat her very well, otherwise they wouldn't let a girl go out to find food.
"If you come with me, you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future."
Shen Jiaojiao covered her mouth in disbelief when she heard this. Her eyes became wet and she choked up and said, "Thank you, sir."
Afterwards, Xie Yunchi took Shen Jiaojiao and the guards to a safe place. After most of the refugees there had dispersed, he went to look for the people from the Shen family.
Shen Wensong and Shen Changfeng failed to catch up with Shen Jiaojiao and were squeezed in the crowd for a long time. When they squeezed out, the father and son had disheveled hair and looked very embarrassed.
The family stayed where they were and did not leave, firstly because they were worried about Shen Jiaojiao, and secondly because most of the family’s food now came from Shen Jiaojiao.
Now that she has disappeared, the family naturally doesn't dare to leave.
They waited there for an hour before they saw the carriage stop in front of them.
The family looked up and unexpectedly saw Shen Jiaojiao coming down from above.
"Jiaojiao!"
"Jiaojiao, where have you been?"
"Dad, second brother, I'm fine."
Xie Yunchi had changed into a red brocade robe. After getting off the carriage, he looked at Shen Dajiang and others, and signaled the guards behind him to drive the carriage over.
"Jiaojiao saved me, young master. Now she belongs to me. If you want to come with me, the carriage and the things in it are all for you."
He Lai Di and Shen Chang Feng's eyes lit up instantly when they heard this. If they had a carriage, they wouldn't have to work so hard!
Shen Dajiang looked at Shen Jiaojiao, somewhat unable to believe what he heard, "Jiaojiao, is what this nobleman said true?"
Shen Jiaojiao nodded silently and looked at Shen Dajiang with firm eyes.
After looking at her for two seconds, Shen Dajiang suddenly lowered his head. He already understood Shen Jiaojiao's choice.
He Lai Di said with a flattering smile on her face: "My Lord, my Jiao Jiao has been spoiled since she was a child. Now she is suddenly going with you and leaving her family. Will she be uncomfortable with it?"
Shen Changfeng and Shen Wensong on the side did not say anything. For them, having a carriage was a good thing, but if they lost Shen Jiaojiao because of it, it would be a loss of the big picture for the small.
"I am not discussing this with you," he said, and the guard beside him took out two silver notes of one hundred taels from his sleeve and handed them to Shen Changfeng.
"Take the banknotes and get Jiaojiao's household registration."
Shen Changfeng was very tempted, but he did not take it rashly. Instead, he looked at Shen Dajiang beside him. At this time, the guard beside him had already drawn his sword and threatened him.
After a long stalemate, Shen Dajiang finally nodded silently. Shen Changfeng took over. Perhaps except for Shen Dajiang who was a little sad, the whole family was happy.
Seeing that his household registration was in hand, Xie Yunchi didn't want to stay here anymore, "Jiaojiao, let's go."
Shen Jiaojiao turned around and followed him. Halfway through her walk, she suddenly ran back, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Shen Dajiang.
"Dad, today I am leaving your unfilial daughter. Please take care of yourself."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and sat in the carriage, with tears welling up in his eyes.
The carriage started slowly. Shen Jiaojiao lifted the curtain and looked at her family reluctantly. After two seconds, she turned her head and stopped looking.
Seeing her like this, Xie Yunchi played with the jade pendant on his waist and asked softly, "Does Jiaojiao regret it?"
The girl in the carriage shook her head firmly, and then said, "Young Master is very good to Jiaojiao, and what you gave is what Dad and the others urgently need now. Jiaojiao doesn't regret it!"
The corners of Xie Yunchi's mouth rose slightly, obviously he was very satisfied with Shen Jiaojiao's answer.
Shen Jiaojiao lowered her eyes to conceal the dark look that flashed across her eyes. So many good things, it was really a bargain for them!
……
Shen Li and her companions had plenty of food in their carriage, so they did not go into any towns they encountered on the road to waste time. However, if they could enter a city in the evening, they would still stay in an inn. After all, it was getting colder outside day by day.
That evening, a group of people had originally planned to set up camp beside the official road, but they did not expect that there was a village ahead. After asking for their opinions, Shen Changshan immediately decided to stay there for the night.
This village is not far from the official road. There are no children at the entrance of the village, but there are many old men and women coming here.
When he saw the carriage coming, he looked at their convoy with a vague look, and occasionally pointed his finger vaguely.
The tranquility of the small mountain village was broken by their arrival.
The team stopped at the window and did not rush in to disturb them. Shen Changshan walked over with a simple smile on his face.
"Uncle, we are passing by here and would like to stay here for one night. Can you give us a favor?"
The old man Shen Changshan spoke to had a gray beard, cloudy eyes, and was holding a cane in his hand.
After hearing that they wanted to stay overnight, he nodded and said, "You can stay overnight, but it's not free."
Shen Changshan nodded, "Okay, then can you tell me the cost?"
"A courtyard costs 500 wen per night. Firewood is charged separately, but water is free."
Their village is close to the official road, and is quite a distance away from the county town ahead. Passing caravans would often stay the night here. Over time, they got used to it and even made their own rules.
"Sure, but there are too many of us, and one yard isn't enough."
The old man smiled when he heard this, "That's enough, don't worry, we still have an empty yard here!"
"In that case, please lead the way, sir."
The old man waved his hands when he heard this and said, "My legs and feet are not working well anymore, Erma, you go and lead the way for them."
A young boy stepped forward and led Shen Changshan and the others to the courtyard where they lived.
More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages were heading towards the village, but looking at the situation, who would have known that they were now refugees.
So, when you go out, as long as you don’t tell others, your identity will be guessed by others.
