After becoming a stepmother,I transfered the whole family into farming

Chapter 37: One Knife One

The proprietress looked over worriedly: "Little brother, are you okay?"

Liu Ji nodded.

Qin Yao smiled and shook her head, "He's fine."

"Madam, how much are your tiles?" Qin Yao asked about the price.

Business was the most important thing, so the lady boss didn't bother to care about Liu Ji. She took Qin Yao to look at the tiles and said, "It depends on how many you want. We have a tile kiln and we sell them to people in the village. If you buy more than 200 pieces, the price will be more affordable."

Uncle Jiu had calculated for Qin Yao before that it would take about two thousand tiles to cover all the tiles in her house. There might be some left over, but not too much.

Qin Yao asked the proprietress to buy more first, and if there was any left, she could return it.

She remembered that this was how her parents bought decoration materials before the end of the world, so she thought it should be possible here as well?

But Qin Yao was lucky. The boss lady said that they had not had any returns yet, but if Qin Yao could guarantee that the items were returned in good condition, she could get a refund.

"If it's broken, we're not responsible."

The lady boss kindly reminded me, "It's better to have some extra because some of them might break during transportation."

"Then would you guys help deliver it?" Qin Yao asked.

The proprietress nodded: "Where is your home? Let me see if it's far. As long as it's within our Jinshi Town, it's fine."

Qin Yao said: "Not far, in Liujia Village."

The proprietress smiled, assured that it was no problem, and asked Qin Yao how much she wanted.

"Two thousand pieces, what's the price?"

"Well, if you want more, I'll give you three coins for four pieces. These two thousand pieces will cost a total of one ounce and five cents, which is already the lowest price. It also includes delivery. The travel expenses are not small either. We have to make some money."

The proprietress spoke very sincerely, and Qin Yao thought it was a good idea. She paid a 30% deposit on the spot and asked the proprietress to deliver it to her the next day.

Two thousand tiles cannot be delivered in one trip. I have to make several trips. The sooner you deliver them, the better.

The proprietress took note of it and gave Qin Yao a receipt written on a piece of wood. When the goods were delivered, she would check the receipt with the delivery guy and settle the remaining money, and the payment would be made.

Seeing Qin Yao coming out of the kiln, Liu Ji, who was leaning against the door pillar and blowing on the back of his hand, quickly put down his hand, stood up seriously, and asked with a smile: "Are you done?"

Qin Yao nodded indifferently.

She first went to the blacksmith's house to ask how her weapon was doing.

The blacksmith thought she was in a hurry and was rushing him, so he quickly assured her, "Wait two more days, come pick it up in two days, and I'll make it for you."

"Okay, I'll come back in two days."

Seeing that the blacksmith was extremely busy, Qin Yao had no choice but to leave.

"Madam, are you going back now?" Liu Ji followed her and asked in surprise.

He looked up at the sky. It was not even noon yet. He had finally come out for a trip, but ended up going to a tile kiln and a boring blacksmith shop. It must have been a wasted trip.

Qin Yao kept walking, "Do you know why I asked you to come with me?"

"Why?" Liu Ji asked sincerely.

Qin Yao explained: "I originally thought that the boss didn't have door-to-door delivery service, so I wanted to bring you here so that there would be an extra person to carry the bags."

"So, you are lucky." Escaped.

Liu Ji wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. He blew on the back of his still hot hand and was forced to follow Qin Yao home.

The two of them remained silent all the way.

The weather has been sunny these days, and the roads in the valley are relatively easy to walk on.

The autumn is already in full swing. The woods on both sides of the road have been dyed with a layer of golden orange. When the wind blows, the fallen leaves fly everywhere.

The scenery is extremely beautiful, but it is too quiet. Even in broad daylight, it makes people feel uneasy when walking there.

Liu Ji glanced at the woman striding ahead, and secretly felt lucky that he was not walking this mountain road alone.

He looked at the surrounding woods rustling in the wind, quickened his pace and caught up with Qin Yao.

"My dear, do you think this road is particularly deserted? It's not even winter yet, so why don't people go out? I haven't seen anyone in half a day."

Qin Yao looked around and didn't feel it was deserted at all. She had walked there alone before and there was no other change except that the leaves had turned yellower.

But seeing Liu Ji's cowardly look of looking for something to talk about, he asked sarcastically, "Are you scared?"

"No way!" Liu Ji said nonchalantly, "I just heard that there are a lot of bandits coming here this year, and I'm a little worried about being robbed."

"Forget it. You've taken my kindness for granted." He said this, but his body was honest enough to quicken his pace in order to keep parallel with her.

The two walked for a while and entered another narrow valley through a gap.

The wind was howling in the valley, and the sun above had disappeared into the clouds at some point, dimming the light in the entire valley.

Liu Ji looked left and right, and always felt that something was strange.

He is not one to keep secrets, he speaks out whatever comes to his mind.

"Ma'am, don't you really think this road looks spooky?"

When asking this question, Liu Ji was mentally prepared to be ridiculed.

Unexpectedly, the person next to me suddenly stopped.

I looked back at him and said, "Yes."

"W-what?"

Liu Ji's hair stood on end instantly.

Just as he was about to ask her if she was deliberately scaring him, before he could even say anything, he heard footsteps coming from the hillside on the left.

Liu Ji was stunned when he saw five or six robbers rushing down the mountain and blocking his way.

There really are robbers!

It's over, it's over, what should I do now?

Oh my God, they still have knives in their hands!

"My wife, give them all the silver you have. Our lives are at stake. I heard that these robbers are only after money. If we take the initiative, maybe we can still have a way out." Liu Ji said tremblingly.

According to common sense, he could still think of this at this time. Although it was cowardly, it was already the best way for an ordinary person to survive.

But Qin Yao is not common sense.

She raised her hand in displeasure, signaling him to shut up.

Liu Ji looked at the gap behind him and thought that if he turned around and ran, the other party would not have a horse and he might be able to escape.

But before he could take action, Qin Yao had already questioned the six robbers on the opposite side: "Robbery?"

The people on the other side seemed to have not expected that the young couple would remain calm, and one of them laughed and said, "Young lady, you are not talking nonsense!"

Qin Yao asked again: "Money or life?"

The arrogant man on the other side laughed and walked towards her and Liu Ji, saying as he walked: "I want both money and life!"

As soon as they finished speaking, two of them raised their knives and rushed towards them to kill them.

They were numerous and all desperate criminals, so they would never make the mistake of leaving someone alive and causing trouble for themselves.

"OK."

Qin Yao understood.

In that case, she had no more worries.

His originally calm eyes became extremely sharp, he clenched the knife in his hand, and like lightning, he slid the knife towards the neck of a robber!

Blood gushed out and she dodged to the side.

The knife in his hand turned into a sickle that took his life, and he shuttled between them, simple and fast, killing one with one strike!
