??Chapter 18 Return
??The two of them walked out of the county government office briskly, and they saw a bookstore opposite after walking not far. Yang Lan'er said to Yang Cunzhi who was walking in front: "Second brother, let's go to the bookstore in front to have a look."
?? "Oh, okay." Although Yang Cunzhi didn't know what his sister was doing in the bookstore, he didn't ask, but put his doubts in his heart, and followed into the bookstore.
??Yang Lan'er entered the store and saw a thin middle-aged man next to him. He was dozing off on the counter, pecking his head. The corners of Yang Lan'er's mouth twitched, and she realized that she could meet people dozing off everywhere. In the 21st century, this is the attitude of the clerk, ahem! Needless to say, we all know what the ending is.
??The bookstore is not very big, there are only a few rows of bookshelves. Yang Lan'er looked casually, and most of them were manuscripts. I found a book of historical records, a book of three characters, a book of hundreds of surnames, and a book of thousands of characters.
??Placing the book on the counter, the middle-aged man woke up slowly, looked up and saw a man and a woman standing in front of the counter. The woman smiled at him, beckoning him to look at the counter.
??Low down and see the books on the counter. The middle-aged man flipped through the book indifferently: "There are three books for three hundred thousand, and three taels of silver for Chenghui."
??Yang Lan'er looked behind the counter, waved her small hand in a timid manner, and said, "Bring me another piece of paper, ten small writing brushes, five inkstones and ink sticks. All of them should be medium."
??The middle-aged man turned around, and prepared everything Yang Laner wanted from the cabinet behind him. Handed it over to Yang Cunzhi, bowed his head and fiddled with the abacus for a while. He raised his head and said indifferently: "The books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones you want are twelve taels and five hundred and twenty taels in total, with a discount of twenty taels, I will charge you twelve taels and five hundred taels."
??Yang Lan'er took out thirteen taels of silver and put it on the counter. The middle-aged man retrieved five hundred wen. The brothers and sisters glanced at the middle-aged man, left the book shop speechless, looked at the sky, then hurried back to the inn, asked the cashier to check out the room.
??Backing to the room, Yang Lan'er put all the items in her back basket into the space. Let out another quilt from the space, she is really fed up with the old, hard and broken quilt at home. Tuck the quilt over the pannier. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that her pannier was empty.
??Yang Lan'er worked really hard in order to recite less. Helpless, the distance is too far, and the body is too weak at present.
??As soon as he was ready, the second brother knocked on the door: "Lan'er, are you ready?"
?? "Here we come."
??The two carried the bamboo baskets on their backs and greeted the shopkeeper. After leaving the inn, the siblings didn't delay and walked directly to the city gate.
?? It was the end of the hour, and he left the city. The victims in twos and threes outside the city saw the two of them coming out of the city with a bamboo basket full of goods on their backs. Both eyes glowed green, and they moved towards this side like hungry wolves. Frightened, Yang Cunzhi dragged his sister and strode towards the official road.
??The two ran panting like cows, and turned around to find that the victims hadn't caught up. Yang Cunzhi said out of breath, "Oh, I'm exhausted. It was really dangerous just now, but fortunately they were so hungry that they didn't have the energy to chase, otherwise it was really dangerous."
??Yang Lan'er looked around, but found no danger. Adjust your breathing, take a deep breath, straighten up, wave to the second brother, and continue to walk forward.
??When they arrived at a mountain depression half an hour away from the town. Yang Lan'er found someone lying on the side of the road and tugged on the sleeve of the second brother. He motioned him to look at the soil **** over there, and Yang Cunzhi also noticed it. Afraid of danger, he hurriedly pulled her away.
?? "Second brother, don't be nervous. It seems that you have passed out. Let's go and have a look." As he spoke, he came to him quickly. Yang Cunzhi had no choice but to follow him with extreme steps.
?? When I got to the front, I found that there were two men and a woman. It seemed to be a family of three. A middle-aged man in his thirties was holding a middle-aged woman in his arms. A boy of twelve or thirteen years old was lying on the woman's lap. The woman and the child were unconscious, and the man was almost in a daze.
