Chapter 107 The Female Monk Wants to Ascend 10
"Old man, old man!"
The village chief's wife was cooking in the kitchen and suddenly shouted.
"You old woman, why are you still making so much noise at your age? What's the matter?" At this time, the village chief had completely forgotten how he looked at the door just now.
The village chief's wife held two silver notes in her hand and handed them to the village chief, "Two hundred taels, a full two hundred taels."
The village head's wife's hands were shaking slightly as she handed over the banknotes. I don't know if it was because she was too old and her hands were not flexible, or because she was too excited.
“——clang”
The village chief stood up from the stool, which made a sharp sound.
"This was put there by Ming girl, right?" The village chief wanted to take the banknote, but he didn't know how to start. At the same time, he was certain that it must have been given by Ming Huaixi.
This was the first time the village chief had seen so much money. Even in the past, the most he had was less than one hundred taels.
Several people present were also very excited, but with the village chief, an elder, around, they didn't want to behave too abnormally. They looked at each other and realized that they were all the same.
"It was given by Ming girl. It was placed between the rice bag and the flour bag. I thought it was something else at first. I didn't expect it to be a banknote."
The village head's wife excitedly recounted the process of how she got the silver note.
"That's great. This way, we can send him to school in town, and we don't have to tighten our belts to make ends meet."
This time, the village chief's granddaughter-in-law was really grateful to Ming Huaixi. She regretted not treating her well before. If she had known that she would be like this, she would have raised her well no matter what.
Chenghui is the great-grandson of the village chief. He just turned four this year, which is just the right time to miss this decade. His family had previously discussed sending Chenghui to school when he is older.
"When we have children in the future, we will send them to school and use this money. This money is only used for the children's education and cannot be used for anything else."
The village chief took the money and decided what it should be used for.
It’s fortunate that the village chief’s family has only one descendant, otherwise if there were more uncles and uncles, there would be a huge uproar.
Ming Huaixi had been walking all night and was tired, so he found a place under the shade of a tree to rest and eat something, and then continued on his journey after he had rested enough.
Several carriages passed by not far from Ming Huaixi. Two children in the carriages were sticking their heads out of the windows to look outside. "Look, there's a little beggar sleeping over there."
"where?"
"That's it."
"Wow, it really exists."
"Hey, little beggar."
The two children in the carriage were not big, but they were quite loud and not very polite.
They were talking about Ming Huaixi who was resting under the shade of a tree. For the sake of convenience, Ming Huaixi deliberately wore rather ragged clothes. She understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth.
Ming Huaixi heard the two children's DW shouting, but she ignored them. They were just two little kids passing by, so there was no need to make a fuss about it.
After a while, the carriage drove away, and the two children followed it chattering.
Ming Huaixi had been walking for five days. She was so tired after walking such a long distance on foot. If she were an adult, she could buy a horse or something, but she was only a seventeen-year-old child and was too young to do anything.
Usually when Ming Huaixi passed through a city, she would pack herself up before leaving the city, buy some food and daily necessities in the city, and replenish her supplies. This time was no exception.
"Brother, look, that little beggar from before."
Ming Huaixi didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that he would run into the two children in a passing carriage again.
"It's true. She doesn't seem to be a beggar anymore." The older boy said hesitantly.
There was no one following them, so it was probably that the two kids ran away on their own.
Ming Huaixi pretended not to see the two of them. They didn't know each other anyway. Besides, these two kids were not very polite, typical naughty kids. It was best not to provoke them.
Just as Ming Huaixi was walking past the two children, two dogs suddenly jumped out and rushed towards the two children. Ming Huaixi was unlucky because she happened to be between the two children. "Ahhh, run."
Although these two kids are impolite, they run very fast.
"Damn it, I hate naughty kids." Ming Huaixi was really about to cry. Why did bad luck always happen to him everywhere? Ming Huaixi had things in his hands. If he ran away, these things would definitely have to be thrown away. Ming Huaixi was reluctant to do so. Just as Ming Huaixi took a defensive posture and was ready to fight, these two dogs seemed to have some kind of radar.
He accurately avoided Ming Huaixi and continued to chase the two children.
Ming Huaixi breathed a sigh of relief only after the two dogs disappeared from his sight. It was good that they didn't bite him. With his small body, he wasn't even big enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
"Hurry up, run over there, the young masters should be over there." A group of people ran towards the direction of the dog.
The vendors nearby were not surprised at all when they saw this scene. They seemed to be used to it and were chatting leisurely.
"It's the two young masters from the city lord's cousin's family again. They were found by the dog again."
"Hey, I really don't know why the people in the City Lord's Mansion must use dogs to find people. This seems quite strange."
"Don't say anything. Maybe this is just a habit of rich people. Look at those two young masters. They are having so much fun."
"Yeah, I don't want to talk anymore. Someone is coming to my stall."
"Damn, it turns out to be their own dog. It's really uncivilized to let a dog out on the street." Ming Huaixi appeared to be very serious on the surface, but he was cursing in his heart.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. I have to leave as soon as possible. There are too many lunatics. What if I get hurt by mistake? I am the last hope of this world.
Who would let a dog look for their own young master? That's crazy.
After buying the things, Ming Huaixi left the city. He still had to hurry on his way.
The day of the ten-year election was getting closer and closer. Some cities were filled with people from all around waiting to take the test. The inns in the city were full, and some people also lived outside the city. When there were more people, it became lively and crowded all day long.
In order to avoid so many people, Ming Huaixi usually manages to bypass those crowded cities. Sometimes he has to go a long way, but there are indeed fewer problems after bypassing them.
Since there was no way around it, Ming Huaixi tried his best to find a place to stay in the city. All the inns in the city knew that this was a business opportunity and they all raised their prices, but even so, the inn rooms were still in short supply.
Ming Huaixi naturally would not stay in the inn. It was simply too expensive. Anyway, he had slept outside a lot these days. Ming Huaixi had already prepared a simple and portable assembled small tent. He found a high ground and was not afraid of rain as long as there was no flood.
A small tent was set up outside the city, attracting the envy of a group of people.
But everyone was not a person without rules. They all considered themselves to be respectable people and would not snatch a child's things. Besides, Ming Huaixi's small tent could only sleep by herself. Even if those people robbed it, it would be useless. It would be better to take some time to make a place to shelter from the rain and shade.
