As soon as Ah Jiu entered the room, Cai Lihua opened the veil mysteriously.

Inside were washed gold nuggets and broken silver: "Well, most of them are pulled out. If I eat something, I guess I can pull out the rest later."

"Mother, don't do such a thing next time, if you can't pull it out, you won't have to pay for it."

Ah Jiu felt distressed thinking about it.

"How can it be." Cai Lihua's sallow face was full of smiles: "Mother knows it well, if it is a big gold ingot, mother will not be so stupid to swallow it."

"You can't swallow it either." Ah Jiu muttered.

"That's right." Cai Lihua was fiddling with the biggest piece of gold: "Fortunately, my mother ate this piece first, otherwise it would be a pity if I couldn't pull it out at the end."

"Bang bang bang."

The six doors in the front hall were slapped.

Tong Zi jumped up in fright, now that Liu's family is in decline and no one is in charge of the family, he doesn't know whether to open the door or not.

"Miss Jiu'er, someone knocked on the door." He didn't dare to open the door on his own initiative, what if it was a homeless person.

There was also a little worry in Ah Jiu's eyes: "It's better not to open the door."

"Yes, Sister Jiu'er is right. There are so many refugees outside at this time, opening the door and letting them in may mean looting and killing."

Tuoba Yan added a sentence.

That night, Ah Jiu didn't sleep well, and was squeezed into the same room with Cai Lihua.

Meng Shaode took on the responsibility of protecting the house, and slept in the corner with Tuobayan in the yard all night.

The wooden door was photographed countless times overnight, Meng Shaode was afraid that someone would force his way in, so he moved all the tables and chairs over to block the door.

Ah Jiu has already told Cai Lihua about the situation.

"Speaking of which, the business of selling water is no good. Daughter, how about we sell melons and fruits? After saving enough money, mother will open a small restaurant, and I promise to make you fat and fat."

Cai Lihua has nothing else on her mind, only this one.

"Mother, it's so chaotic outside, I don't know if the government's army can calm down tomorrow. We are lucky that we don't starve to death."

As he spoke, Ah Jiu took out a pomegranate from his bosom and stuffed it to his mother.

Cai Lihua didn't make such a fuss anymore, she sat up and discredited, broke open the pomegranates, buckled them one by one, put them in the palm of her hand, and sent them to Ah Jiu's mouth.

Ah Jiu hesitated for a while, but still opened her mouth to accept.

The happiest thing for her mother is to eat more and drink more, if she doesn't eat, she will be unhappy instead.

The sky was dimly lit, and the door was slapped again.

The mother and daughter couldn't sleep in such a turmoil.

When Ah Jiu got up, the sky was just turning white, and the sound of horses' hooves on the street outside shattered the morning glow.

"Search door to door."

"If someone with unknown origin is brought back to the Yamen for interrogation, those who resist will be killed."

Ah Jiu instantly felt a cold wind pouring into his neck.

"Brother Tongzi, Daddy, Xiaoyan, someone knocked on the door." Ah Jiu called out one by one before daring to go to the front hall to check the situation.

"Where is the Liu family? I'm here to write a document under the order of the magistrate Wang." The voice was a little familiar.

When the outsider said this, Ah Jiu turned around and glanced at Meng Shaode Tuoba Yan: "It's not a refugee."

Meng Shaode nodded: "He's from the government."

"It seems that most of the refugees have been driven out." Tong Tong listened out with his ears pricked up, not as restless as yesterday evening:

"Miss Jiu'er, this document must be accepted, after all, it was issued by the prefect king." Tongzi suggested.

Ah Jiu didn't know anything about the affairs of the officialdom, since Tong Zi knew, he just opened the door.

First, he took down a door panel, and saw that it was Yun Hao who was sitting on the tall horse outside.

Ah Jiu didn't worry any more this time, and took off a few door panels: "Brother Yunhao, is my grandma back?"

With a serious face, Yun Hao got off his horse, walked up to him and said in a low voice, "I'm at work."

"Oh." Only then did Ah Jiu come to his senses, and hurriedly saluted: "What's the matter, sir?"

Yun Hao cleared his throat, took out the envelope with the firearm stamp from his pocket, and handed it over: "Your Majesty ordered Miss Meng Jiu'er to hurry to the government office, and now she is imprisoning a refugee suffering from the plague, probably from Nanzhou Those who escaped from County Yizhuang will be rewarded heavily if they are cured."

Ah Jiu trembled, not daring to accept the document at all, Meng Shaode quickly held his daughter in his arms:
"Plague? This official is not joking. My daughter doesn't know medical skills. If you want to find someone who knows how to do it, you have to find someone who knows how to do it. Besides, the plague is contagious. My daughter is so old, so it's not easy to risk her life." "
