Chapter 58
This pawnshop is naturally not the one from yesterday. As soon as Yu Xiaolian entered the pawnshop, she sold it again according to yesterday's routine.

But unexpectedly, the one-eyed pawnshop owner held the Pleasant Goat and looked left and right, but he never made an offer to keep Pleasant Goat.

Moreover, the occasional glances he cast towards Yu Xiaolian made Yu Xiaolian feel a little flustered.

"Do you accept this thing? If not, I'll go to another house and ask."

Seeing that Yu Xiaolian was a little anxious, the one-eyed shopkeeper said with a smile that he would look again, and asked Xiao Er to pour her some sugar water.

Yu Xiaolian stared at the sugar water, but didn't dare to drink it, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her heart.

It just so happened that two more customers came in from the pawnshop to redeem things, so Yu Xiaolian took this opportunity to ask for Pleasant Goat back.

After walking out of the shop, Yu Xiaolian planned to go to other pawnshops to exchange money, but unexpectedly found someone following her.

Hey, this pawn shop owner is really as she guessed, seeing her as a child, he wants to hack her things.

Although this plastic product is worthless in modern times, it is definitely a unique and rare item in ancient times. If he is willing to pay a few hundred taels, Yu Xiaolian will sell it, after all, she has all these things.

But this unscrupulous guy doesn't want to spend a penny, and wants to be a white wolf.

The plan to go to the next pawn shop could only be shelved temporarily, Yu Xiaolian purposely walked into an empty alley.

The strange thing is that the man behind saw her entering the alley, and instead of following her into the alley, he turned around and went back.

Yu Xiaolian took a look into the alley and found that there was only one family in this alley, with a vermilion lacquer gate and two stone lion town houses at the entrance, and the plaque on it, Ji House.

This family looked rich and mysterious, and the walls of the yard were built very high.

Seeing that no one was following her, Yu Xiaolian turned around and went home.

It seems that trying to sell all of Yangcun for money won't work, the risk is too great, she'd better find a place to sell snacks tomorrow and keep a low profile.

...

"Shopkeeper, that kid entered the alley of Ji's house, and I didn't dare to follow in."

"Ji's?" The pawnshop owner waved his hand, signaling for Xiao Er to step down.

Although the Ji family is not one of the most wealthy families in Yangcheng, it will not be their turn to sell heirlooms. It seems that the black boy knew that someone was following him, so he deliberately walked the alley of the Ji family.

Although this Ji family is not very rich, but Mrs. Ji's two sons are not easy to mess with.

The eldest son of the Ji family is an executioner. He has cut off countless heads over the years.

The second son is a second cobbler, and this occupation is not much better than his elder brother's.

After the prisoner's head was beheaded, if the family members wanted to bury the prisoner completely, Ji Er had to sew the head and body together.

The occupations that the two brothers are engaged in are special and make normal people feel unlucky, but it has to be said that this is a high-paying occupation.

Moreover, it is rumored that the two brothers often do tomb robbery secretly.

Apart from Ji Da and Ji Er, the eccentric old lady of the Ji family is also good at detoxifying strange poisons.

For such a Ji family, no one in Yangcheng who knew the truth would dare to provoke him.

Yu Xiaolian was lucky today, if it wasn't for the person who followed her and saw her enter the alley of the Ji family, thinking that she was sent by the Ji family to sell stolen goods, she would have been out of money by now.

When Yu Xiaolian returned home, she was still a little panicked. In a society ruled by law, there were still robbers who committed crimes against the wind. They were killed silently in ancient times. There was nowhere to complain. After all, there was no camera.

When she was in the pawn shop, the one-eyed boss kept giving her sugar water, but she didn't drink it out of precaution. Now it seems that if she drank the sugar water, she might not even be able to get out of the pawn shop.

There are bad people in every era.

Originally, she wanted to lead the person who followed her into an empty alley and spray him with pepper water, but the person turned around and went back.

Yu Xiaolian, who had lingering fears, felt for the first time that it was not easy to live in ancient times, and people would miss everything.

Mrs. Sun has been making clothes all morning. It's not cold yet, and the summer cool quilt can be used for covering, and the quilt can be made later. It's more important to make a new set of clothes for the three of them first.

The Sun family was the first to do it for Yu Changhe, and Yu Changhe is the head of the family, so of course he had to do it first.

When Yu Xiaolian entered the room with a dark face, Sun was taken aback, "What's wrong with your face?"

It was clean when I went out early, but it seemed like I had rolled in a mud puddle in a blink of an eye.

"I'm fine." Yu Xiaolian told Sun Shi what happened just now, and Sun Shi was so frightened that she repeatedly told Yu Xiaolian not to go to the pawn shop again.

After this incident, Yu Xiaolian didn't dare to go again, she was small and weak, if she met someone with a bad heart again, she didn't know what kind of tricks they played secretly.

After repeated assurances with Sun, Sun was relieved.

Yu Xiaolian took out ten silver ingots from the space, a total of one hundred taels, and put them on Sun's kang, asking her to put them away for home use.

Mrs. Sun refused to take it, saying that it was safest to put it in the space, even if a thief came to the house, they would not be able to steal it away. If she used it, she would ask Yu Xiaolian to ask for it.

Yu Xiaolian followed the principle that eggs should not be put in one basket, and asked Sun to keep the money. If her space suddenly disappeared, wouldn't they have to go back to the hard life before.

Mrs. Sun also felt that it made sense after hearing this, so she put away the one hundred taels, but now the house is empty and there is no place to hide it, so she can only hide it in a blanket first.

Sun said to Yu Xiaolian, "Hurry up and wash your face. I'll measure your size in a while. I'll go to the dark tonight, and I can put you in new clothes tomorrow."

Yu Xiaolian glanced at it, and saw that Yu Changhe's clothes had begun to take shape, and praised Mrs. Sun in her heart, she is really a man of action.

Yu Xiaolian washed her face, asked Mrs. Sun to measure the size, and ran to the backyard to feed the horse. Dahong had already run out of the straw bag from yesterday, so Yu Xiaolian decided to improve its food today and feed it some food.

Just as Dahong had finished feeding, he heard a knock on the wooden door in the backyard.

Looking through the gap in the door panel, it turned out that the twin brothers from yesterday came to deliver firewood.

Yu Xiaolian opened the door.

Today there is more firewood in this cart than yesterday, there are thirty bundles.

The two brothers stacked the firewood neatly, and then asked Yu Xiaolian shyly if he could give them some water to drink.

There was a well in the backyard, so Yu Xiaolian would not be stingy with the water.

"Wait, I'll fetch you new water."

The water just brought up from the well is ice-cold, with a hint of sweetness, which is the most thirst-quenching.

The two brothers gulped down several bowls of water.

The two brothers drank enough water and said that they would burn charcoal at home tomorrow, and when the charcoal was ready, they would bring it to her.

Yu Xiaolian asked, "Where is your home? Is it far from Yangcheng?"

"My home is in Taohua Village on the outskirts of the city, not far from here, about half an hour away."

Yu Xiaolian asked again, "Could you tell me your names? And why did you two come to Yangcheng to sell firewood? What about the adults?"

The two children only have to answer questions.

"I am the eldest, my name is An Ning, and I am ten years old."

"I am the second child, my name is An Le, and I am also ten years old."

The two said in unison, "We are twins, everyone in the village calls us Da'an, Xiao'an."

Although she is a rural doll, she is not rude at all when speaking.

It can be seen that their parents educated their brothers very well.
