Chapter 99: On the Road to Moderate Wealth!
Yang Yu was a little worried about their condition and said, "I'll go find them."
Ashu and Ahua also came over. Ashu said, "Sister Chunyi, let us help you. We're not afraid."
The two of them survived a ground fissure and witnessed too many people die tragically.
Even the parents who were killed by rolling stones were found by them through a series of diggings and burying.
The two sisters' fear and anxiety subsided somewhat.
Lin Chunyi slowly forced a smile, "Alright, let's all search it. Search carefully, search thoroughly. Everyone who finds something gets a share!"
The group searched the man's hair, which was tied up, and even under his shoes.
Inside the lining of clothes, in the lining of waistbands, in the straps of wrists and sleeves, under shoe insoles,
They found loose silver and copper coins, totaling a little over eight taels.
"You robbed and swindled so much money in just half a day? No wonder you don't want to find a proper job and instead come here kneeling."
The two sisters looked at the pile of money, but then seemed a little disgusted.
Lin Lanshan used a blood-stained dagger to cut the remaining small portion of his clean clothes into several strips.
He gave his sister a whip to wipe her hands with, and then he vigorously wiped the blood off the knife himself.
"Let's wipe these silver and copper coins clean and then wrap them up. It's a bit disgusting to put money directly on your body from under your feet."
Ashu said, "Sister Lanshan, let me and Ahua do this little thing. You and Sister Chunyi can rest for a while."
Then, together with Ahua, they squatted beside the corpse. They used strips of cloth to wipe the silver and copper coins again and again.
Lin Lanshan wrapped the bamboo tube and the blown needle in a cloth, picked them up, and showed them to her sister. "This needle seems to be poisonous; the color is a bit off..."
"Put it away. We must be more careful from now on! We can't give people like that a chance to use hidden weapons against us."
Lin Chunyi didn't think there was anything wrong with using hidden weapons and poison, after all, they also used them... but they would definitely have to be more careful when they went out in the future.
After cleaning the silver, Ashu wrapped it in a clean cloth and gave it to Lin Lanshan.
She then saw Yang Yu digging a hole with a hoe...
The two sisters felt that the three people they had picked up were really good, as they had saved them a lot of trouble.
I don't know how long I've been digging this hole~
"Master, Second Master, the body has been buried. I've pressed the soil down firmly and leveled it!" Yang Yu said, his hands behind his back.
It was the first time he had used a hoe, and he used a lot of force. His hands were swollen and painful, and they were shaking.
Lin Chunyi glanced at it and said, "We're not far from the village. I'll have Ashu drive the car for a bit, and you can rest for a while."
Come on, let's divide the spoils... oh, I mean, divide the money! My sister and I will definitely get the lion's share, you guys don't mind, right?"
Yang Yu, Ashu, and Ahua all shook their heads and said no.
She said with a straight face:
“I’m in charge! Using a scale… is too much trouble, let’s just divide it. These two larger pieces of silver are ours.”
Yang Yu does a lot of hard labor, so you'll get this small amount of money.
Ah Shu and Ah Hua have done quite a bit too. There are a total of 120 copper coins here, and they're all yours!
"Thank you, Master!"
"Thank you, Sister Chunyi!"
"Thank you, sister~" Well, Lin Lanshan needs to integrate into this big group and can't lose her composure!
Lin Chunyi rolled her eyes at her. "Let's go. We've already wasted a lot of time."
The group boarded the mule cart and arrived at the foot of Youxian Mountain in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Lin Chunyi glanced at the sky; the sun was about to set. She pointed to a large house made of blue bricks.
He said to his apprentice, "Yang Yu, that biggest house is the village chief's house."
You can figure out the rest yourselves; we need to get home quickly. We'll come find you in two weeks.
For the next two weeks, run around the village every day to gradually rebuild the foundation.
Oh, and don't tell anyone about us.
"Yes, Master, I understand!"
The two sisters drove the mule cart slowly out of their sight. Only after reaching the top of the mountain did Lin Lanshan ask:
"Sister, are you going to keep our acquaintance with Yang Yu and his group a secret from Uncle Lin's family?"
"Let's not say anything yet. I'm a little afraid that if they find out, they'll try to match us up. It'll either be me or you..."
Then we'll have to say that he's our apprentice.
Then they'll ask, "Why did we take on such a grown-up apprentice? Did something happen...?"
"If I don't make up some reasons, it's hard to explain clearly; it's too much trouble."
Suddenly, an idea popped into Lin Lanshan's head: Aunt Zhang and Uncle Lin had asked them to look after their apprentice!
Then, images of various questions kept popping into his head.
"Okay, then it's better not to say anything!" The image was too beautiful; she didn't want to imagine it anymore.
As Yang Yu watched his two masters' mule carts depart, his thoughts drifted away as well.
Second Master was right; he truly didn't know just how good their martial arts were...
But he could sense their presence. It was a much stronger presence than even his mother's, whose strength had once ranked among the top in the martial arts world!
……
Two people and a mule went into the mountains.
As Peach ran, she felt the road becoming more and more familiar; it was the way home!
It was in a great mood. As it entered the valley, it ran faster and faster until it reached its doorstep.
Lin Chunyi got out of the car and opened the outer gate.
"Finally back. I wonder how Tuanyuan and Ankang are doing."
Then he opened the inner courtyard gate, moved the threshold aside, and called out.
"Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, Anan, Kangkang, we're back!"
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!" Two chickens and two geese rushed out of the door and rubbed their necks against Lin Chunyi's feet.
She crouched down and hugged them together.
"Haven't seen you for two days, but you look much cuter than when you're being mischievous!"
He sniffed it again. "Hmm...it smells a bit bad. Come on, let me boil some water for you to take a bath."
Tuanyuan and Ankang declared: We don't smell bad, we're perfectly clean!
Lin Lanshan pushed the carriage into the storage room, then led Taozi over, hugged her, and let her rub against her again, wishing her a happy reunion and peace.
"The peaches also need to be washed properly; they've been running around for two days and they've gone bad."
Peach snorted: You guys are the ones who stink! It must be because you stepped on my back today that I smelled so bad!
The two sisters went into the kitchen to boil water, then gave them a bath, fed them brown rice and water, and then let them go home to sleep.
Then they took their own showers, ate dinner, and returned to their bedrooms.
The first and most exciting thing, of course, is counting money!
They took out all the money they had earned and poured it all over the bed.
It was all silver and copper coins, a huge pile of them!!!
The two looked at the money, laughing like fools, weighing and counting it as they pleased.
The silver ingots of fifty taels and ten taels, plus the loose silver, weighed out to a total of one thousand and seventeen taels.
There are still a few copper coins left.
In the end, they had 1,020 taels of silver!

He hugged me tightly.
