The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 70 Clues
The old man was very contemptuous of the young daughter-in-law's behavior of asking for food.

He believes that people should help each other, and the little daughter-in-law just helped lead the way and asked for a gift, which is too straightforward.

Lost dignity and backbone, it is really despised by others, and people who live at the foot of the capital are too shameless.

Ah Kuan felt that this was nothing. They used the ancestral hall in the village to avoid disasters, and gave some benefits to the orphans and widows who stayed in the village, which was simply too reasonable.

Originally, the folk customs of these villages were not like this. Everyone was also knowledgeable about books and rituals, friendly and peaceful.

However, it is too close to the capital, and some special taxation decree has been promulgated. The first people to suffer are the people in these nearby villages and towns.

It also suffered from natural disasters for eight years, but the disasters suffered by these villages were more tragic than those in counties far away from the capital.

Most of the food and agricultural by-products produced were confiscated, and even the male and strong laborers in the family were forced to work as folks who built the altar.

The officials at the top just stretched out their hands to ask the people for money, food and people, and they didn't care about the lives of the people.

In recent years, it has been even worse. Once the autumn harvest is over, they are first exploited by officials, and then bandits and bandits take turns to search.

Therefore, in the villages around the capital here, when winter comes, most of the whole village will hide in the mountains together.

As for whether they were really trying to avoid bandits or bandits, or changed their identities to become bandits, I don't know.

People will become what they are now, all forced out by this terrible world.

The old man didn't understand the difficulties of these villagers, he just felt that this should not be the case in life.

Although he was angry, under A Kuan's persuasion, he scooped out a bowl of grain from the donkey's pocket and gave it to the young daughter-in-law.

Overjoyed, the young daughter-in-law stretched the hem of her clothes, carefully wrapped up the bowl of grain, and prepared to leave with her son.

The boy was very polite, and he raised his hands in a dignified way to thank them.

The corner of the old man's mouth twitched, he seemed to be a very well-educated and polite child, how could he live in such a state.

Holding the food, the woman limped out and stepped over the high threshold of the ancestral hall, revealing the splint tied to her leg.

Ah Kuan just glanced at it, and decided that it was Jinbo's masterpiece. Apart from her, there was no other person in the world who would treat people with injuries like fractures like this.

I couldn't help being overjoyed, finally found some clues, chased after him in two steps, and took the torch from the child.

"It's too dark outside, and my sister-in-law's legs are inconvenient. I'll take you back."

The young daughter-in-law took a look at Ah Kuan, and she recognized that Ah Kuan's accent was from a village near the capital, so she didn't reject him.

He just nodded, agreeing.

When the three of them walked out of the ancestral hall, Ah Kuan asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law, your leg is hurt so badly, who treated it for you, will it get worse if you tie it like this?"

The woman just walked forward with her bad legs and didn't want to answer Ah Kuan's words, but the boy who was led by Ah Kuan started talking like a chatterbox.

"My Auntie didn't know. During the treatment, Auntie was unconscious. It was my help that saved Auntie."

Ah Kuan found a breakthrough, and asked some clues from the boy's mouth in a half-chatter, half-formal manner.

According to the boy's description, Ah Kuan can be sure that the pair of siblings that the boy is talking about must be Jinbo and Jinbao.

But the boy didn't know where they went after they left here, and it was more than a month ago.

I can only be sure that Jinbo and the others have been here before, and where they are now is still a question.

But Kuan was already very happy to get this news.

Thinking of that girl Jinbo's temperament, most likely she became that kind of hero who waits for the road to be injustice.

But she is an eight-year-old girl, if she wants to do that kind of thing, no one else will take her with her.

Unless she leads the way, with Ah Kuan's knowledge of Jinbo, this is not impossible.

Ah Kuan would not be surprised by this girl's courage and momentum, whatever she did.

Thinking of the female voice calling to them in the woods, it didn't sound like Jinbo's voice, but it was a clue after all.

Whatever he said, he had to meet these good guys.

After sending the couple home, Ah Kuan asked about the group of gangsters who robbed passers-by recently.

This time the little daughter-in-law was not silent, she said through gritted teeth: "Those who killed thousands of knives used to be villainous village tyrants in various villages.

When the days are good, they are also idle, specializing in such bad things as sneaking, swindling and abducting.

Afterwards, everyone's life was difficult, and they became even more lawless, and set up some kind of gang to rob houses. "

Ah Kuan didn't want to know the ins and outs of this group of thieves, he wanted to know the origin of the person who was responsible for this group of thieves.

"Little sister-in-law, do you know that there is a group of people nearby who are against this group of robbers, and we were rescued by that group today.

It's a pity that we haven't even met face to face, and I don't know where to thank Xie. "

The little woman obviously didn't want to say more, and urged the boy to hurry into the yard.

"Don't inquire now, anyway, they are not bad people, and besides, they didn't do these things for the sake of being thanked.

This is no better than those things that take food and money to fool ghosts and gods.

I think the little brother is a sensible person, but don't be led astray by those foolish people. It's useless to pray for gods and ghosts these days, you can only rely on yourself. "

Ah Kuan heard the meaning of the young daughter-in-law's words, not only did she know the details of that group of people, she probably still had contact with that group of people.

For various reasons, she couldn't tell Ah Kuan about those people.

The couple had already entered the yard, and it was difficult for Ah Kuan to follow up and continue to question. Finally, he had some clues, and he was not in a hurry. At this moment, he returned to the ancestral hall with a torch.

The frightened people managed to find a relatively safe place, probably tidied up, and soon leaned together to rest.

When the old man saw Ah Kuan coming back, he dragged him and talked for a long time about the sacrifice of the saint. It seemed that he really wanted to develop Ah Kuan into a believer.

Kuan is not interested in these things at all, he is a staunch atheist from beginning to end.

He only politely echoed the old man's explanation, and soon fell asleep, not even knowing when the old man stopped to rest.

Early the next morning, everyone got up to pack their things, and they had already reached the foot of the capital. Although the journey was very difficult and they encountered robbers.

But these did not weaken their expectation and longing for this sacrifice in the slightest.

Ah Kuan sent them to the entrance of the village and showed them the way, then he turned back to the village and walked straight to the little daughter-in-law's house.

He was going to inquire about that group of people again, even if the young daughter-in-law didn't want to talk about it, he could wait and see here.
