Chapter 15 Taxes and Grains Saved

One of the young men who just came to buy the medicine rushed in in a hurry, and the old man was so frightened that his heart beat faster: "You..."

Before he could say anything, he heard the young man say: "Old man, we can't leave you alone, you follow us, as long as I, Qi Dafu, have a bite to eat, I will definitely not starve you."

While talking, Qi Dafu stretched out his hand to grab the old doctor's arm.

The old Langzhong was frightened and yelled: "You young man, you, you..."

Qi Dafu grabbed the old doctor's arm, turned around and carried him on his back.

The old Langzhong was so frightened that his beard trembled, and he wanted to speak a few times, but the young man's actions were so rude that he just opened his mouth to breathe, and couldn't say a word.

Qi Ercai also came in at this time, and when he saw his eldest brother like that, he laughed angrily: "Brother, you put the old man down first."

"Second, you..."

"Oh, you put it down first, even if you want to take the old man away, don't be in a hurry, you have to let the old man pack some clothes or something!"

When Qi Ercai saw the anger on his elder brother's face, he knew that he had misunderstood him.

Qi Dafu really wanted to curse in anger, but after hearing this, he also felt that he was a little reckless, so he let the old man down again.

The old doctor supported the counter to calm his breath, and then he said: "What are you doing, old man, I didn't say that I want to go with you!"

"Old man, stop nagging, pack up and follow us!"

Qi Ercai stepped forward with a gentle voice: "We just go out to hide, and when the rebels leave, we will send you back."

"Yes, I will send you back when there is nothing wrong."

Qi Dafu hastily agreed.

Although the eyes of the old man couldn't keep up, he could tell that the two young people were good. He sighed and asked, "Which village are you from?"

"From Yongping Village."

Qi Ercai replied.

Unexpectedly, the old gentleman frowned the next moment and asked, "Which village is Qin Langzhong in?"

"Correct!"

This time it was Qi Dafu who answered.

Seeing the old man sigh again, he said: "Forget it, it's all evil. You, go to the backyard and pack all my clothes."

The old man pointed to Qi Dafu and gave instructions.

Qi Dafu was stunned for a moment, but after being reminded by Qi Ercai, he ran back in a hurry.

The old doctor said to Qi Ercai again: "Is there still room for your cart?"

Without waiting for Qi Ercai's answer, the old doctor continued: "I still have some herbs in this shop, I have to take them away."

"Success! You order, I will pack and take everything away."

Although Qi Ercai didn't know how many medicinal materials the old doctor mentioned, he could tell that if the medicinal materials were not taken away, the old man might not be able to follow obediently.

At that time, in case the big brother's aggressiveness comes up again, and the old man is angry again, so he agreed very happily.

By the time a few people came out of the pharmacy again, almost an hour had passed.

At this moment, the three brothers of the Qi family are already very anxious.

I don't know how anxious the fourth child and his mother were waiting outside the city for so long, but they couldn't clean up half of it.

The old man doesn't have many clothes, but there are quite a lot of bedding rolls and the like.

Most of them are medicinal materials.

But this much is only relative.

Each of the three brothers carried a back basket, in which were all kinds of medicinal materials wrapped in oiled paper.

The smell made all three of them dizzy.

There were also a lot of medicinal materials in the car, but they were all covered with bedding, and the remaining piece couldn't be covered, so the old doctor sat there and covered it with his body.

Now although the city is not completely chaotic, the magistrates have all run away. If someone really has evil intentions, people like them who walk away with all kinds of things on their backs will become big fat.

Finally, he got out of the city gate without any danger, walked quickly for a while, and finally saw Quan Jin who was circling anxiously by the side of the road, and Qi Cheng who couldn't help wiping his tears.

"You bastards, why are you so slow!"

Seeing his three sons, Qi Cheng's tears flowed even more, and he just opened his mouth to say something, as if he couldn't say it without scolding others.

"Mom, calm down."

Qi Ercai stepped forward, he didn't even bother to take off the basket on his back, and hurriedly went to follow the old lady's back.

Qi Qijin noticed the old man sitting in the car at this moment, and asked, "Second brother, this is..."

It was only at this time that Qi Cheng noticed that there was an extra person.

After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Qi Cheng let out an ouch, and said a little excitedly: "Mr. Yin, you are..."

Yin Cheng looked at Qi Cheng, a little embarrassed: "Old lady, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Mother, he is the only one in the old man's house, and even the medicine boy was released by him. We were worried about leaving him alone in the city, so we brought him out."

Qi Ercai explained.

Qi Cheng was still a little bit overwhelmed, but he didn't say anything bad, just sighed: "This world is messed up, messed up."

"It's getting late, let's hurry back!"

Quan Quanjin glanced at the direction of the city gate.

Now there are a lot more people, horse-drawn carts, donkey carts, etc. going out of the city.

Everyone else nodded.

Qi Cheng is a woman, so it's not easy for her to sit in the car with an old man like Yin Cheng, so she simply let Quan Quanjin continue to carry her on her back.

The footsteps of the four brothers back home were still not slow.

Only halfway through, everyone saw fellow villagers who came out to sell food together.

"Oh, brothers of the Qi family, are you back from the city? You came out early enough!"

In the crowd, there were men who were familiar with the Qi family, who greeted the Qi family with a smile.

Qi Ercai stepped forward quickly and greeted, "Everyone, don't go to the city, the city is in chaos."

"What the hell?"

Everyone was stunned.

The village chief was also in the team. He got out of his carriage after hearing the voice, and shouted, "Second Cai, what did you just say?"

Qi Ercai came to the village chief and explained the situation in the city in a few words.

The team's originally cheerful atmosphere instantly dissipated.

"What? The county, the magistrate of the county, all ran away?"

"My mother, this year is so good, I thought I could have a solid and fat year, why did they suddenly start fighting?"

The villagers howled one by one.

The village chief also had a feeling of turmoil in his heart, but he calmed down quickly, and scolded: "What are you shouting for! Why don't you turn around and go back quickly, and hide it before you pay taxes and grains! Gotta eat!"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This year's harvest is good, but the government has never come down to collect taxes and grains. They thought it was not their turn in Yongping Village, but they never thought that the taxes and grains would not have to be paid.

Although the news of the chaos made everyone terrified, they couldn't help but jump up when they thought that [-]% of the tax and food would be left.
