Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 365 Passersby Work Hard to Live (33)
Asking shop staff to help run errands is a tactic often used by wealthy families.
Shen Yao didn't even blink when she was buying things, especially since there were quite a few people following behind the mother and son. They were all stunned as they watched Shen Yao act as if she was going to buy everything in Yangcheng.
A steady stream of shop assistants delivered packaged items to the East City Inn.
Apart from anything else, this unrestrained attitude alone made the City Lord's Mansion feel a lot more at ease.
It was obvious at first glance that the Liu family did not regard the breakdown of negotiations with the City Lord's Mansion as a major matter, otherwise they would have fled in a panic long ago. How could they continue to buy on a large scale?
Liu Jingyan: ...
Liu Jingyan looked at the things that could not be piled up in the lobby of the inn. He did not blame Shen Yao, but was thinking about how much would be wasted when they left.
"No, sending them back to Zhuangzi or the demon tribe's defense line can save a lot of daily expenses."
Although what is sold outside is not as good as what they produce themselves, the burden on Zhuangzi is increasing every year. Although the entire Yingchuan provides supplies for the Liu family, no one will complain about having too many things.
Shen Yao waved her hands, with obvious fatigue on her face after a tiring day, "Didn't you say that grandpa would come?" With Liu Xiuwen's help, no one dared to snatch these things away.
Liu Jingyan walked up to Shen Yao and said, "Grandfather will go directly to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow."
Shen Yao:...Hmm?
"We're leaving early tomorrow morning?" Shen Yao looked at Liu Xiuwen, who was already on his way and would be able to show up at the City Lord's Mansion early tonight, and did not expose Liu Jingyan's lie.
"Let's leave early in the morning and ask the innkeeper to deliver the things to the City Lord's Mansion." Liu Jingyan was unaware that Shen Yao had misunderstood him. This person really didn't know that Liu Xiuwen had come here early.
After all, there is a time lag in delivering letters. Even if Liu Xiuwen rushed over as soon as he saw the letter, it would still take him two days.
Liu Jingyan must have known something about the content of the letter he wrote himself.
But this time, Liu Jingyan underestimated how much Liu Xiuwen valued him (Liu Mingjin to be precise), and thought that a round trip would not be too much trouble, so he simply flew here alone.
Thanks to the system positioning, Shen Yao knew the exact time when Liu Xiuwen arrived in Yangcheng, and then deduced that they would be able to leave smoothly tomorrow morning.
The couple came to the same conclusion through different paths, so they simply thought the same thing.
Waving their hands, the couple left the difficult matter to the eldest family member to solve. Without any embarrassment, they washed up and lay down to sleep.
As for the swordplay that will happen in the City Lord's Mansion...what does it have to do with them?
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone got on the carriage outside the door.
Liu Mingjin looked at his mother with his pair of sparkling puppy eyes, full of admiration.
I didn't expect that my mother's words were so accurate. They are really leaving.
"Sit still and don't move around. The next town we are going to is three days away from here." They would have to stay in the wild for two nights.
"Mom, will we encounter the same situation as the past two days?" Liu Mingjin blinked his eyes, very curious.
What happened that night left a deep impression on Liu Mingjin's mind.
Although people's memories will gradually fade away with the passage of time, this is not the present time, and Liu Mingjin can still recall most of the content.
Shen Yao neither shook her head nor nodded, but reached out and touched Liu Mingjin's face, "We haven't experienced it before, so no one can guarantee it."
Maybe it will happen, maybe it won't. The world here is ever-changing, and years of chaos have provided fertile ground for some strange things to grow.
Just like a small Yangcheng, there is a mountain spirit hiding that can destroy the entire town.
She slept soundly last night and the people of Yangcheng were unaware of it, but just a distance away from the city wall, a fierce fight broke out.
Liu Xiuwen did not hold back, but attacked with all his might, directly destroying the Lord of Yangcheng and the mountain spirit that was chasing them.
The news was told by the system after Shen Yao woke up. At that time, Shen Yao and Liu Mingjin were having a meal, and Liu Xiuwen was sitting in the next room and talking to Liu Jingyan who did not come out.
These things were done behind the backs of Shen Yao and others, and Shen Yao simply pretended not to know.
"Okay, your father is here, let's get ready to go." Seeing Liu Jingyan coming out of the inn, Shen Yao put her hands away and leaned back against the soft pillow.
When Liu Mingjin heard that his father was coming, he hurried to the window to look out.
His eyes just happened to meet Liu Jingyan's. Liu Mingjin subconsciously shrank his shoulders, put down the curtain in his hand, and turned around obediently.
The carriage started moving in a moment, pulling the replenished supplies forward until it was out of the tall city gate.
Liu Jingyan lifted the curtain and walked in after the carriage had been traveling for a while.
His expression has returned to normal, no longer as ferocious as when he just left the inn.
Liu Mingjin leaned forward, clenched her fist and gently hit Liu Jingyan's shoulder.
Liu Jingyan: ...
Liu Jingyan sighed helplessly, "You," Children are too curious, and this is something that is difficult to change no matter how many times they emphasize it.
He wanted to pull Liu Mingjin over to talk to him more, but when he met his son's innocent eyes, Liu Jingyan could only say "forget it" to himself and told him with a stern face to stay in the car for the time being.
Because there was a child in the carriage, Liu Jingyan did not mention to Shen Yao that Liu Xiuwen was looking for him.
Only after it got dark and they had set up the tent did Liu Jingyan tell him everything that happened in Yangcheng.
The mayor of Yangcheng openly violated the principles and has been dealt with by Liu Xiuwen.
However, there are still many people living in Yangcheng, and a new city lord is needed to manage it. Liu Xiuwen plans to send a branch of the Liu family to take over Yangcheng in a legitimate manner.
Shen Yao was surprised. In recent years, the Liu family has been controlling the Yingchuan area by hiding behind the scenes and has not put its mind on it in the open.
Why did he suddenly change his attitude? Liu Jingsheng hasn't taken anyone to the Lin family's territory yet.
"I want to show it to the Lin family and find out where the Lin family's bottom line is."
The Lin family is dissatisfied with the Liu family but wants to form an alliance with them. The Liu family knows that the Lin family is dissatisfied but still wants to join in. Isn't it just for the position above everyone else?
Liu Jingsheng was about to leave, and Liu Xiuwen thought about the problems of the Lin family, which led to today's test.
After hearing this, Shen Yao worried that this move would bring danger to the people who were about to go to the Lin family's territory.
"No, the time when Big Brother went to the Lin family was exactly the day when the human race held an alliance to resist the demon race, and the location was in the Lin family's territory."
Otherwise, how could Liu Xiuwen feel at ease letting Liu Jingsheng take his two extremely talented great-grandsons with him.
Although this human alliance was just a cover-up, there were many outsiders in the Lin family's territory at that time. For the sake of their own face, the Lin family would not do anything that would damage their own image.
"Perhaps the Lin family also took into account the large number of outsiders, and the Liu family would find it difficult to refuse the marriage with them, so they revealed the alliance between the two parties in front of outsiders to increase their bargaining chips," and by the way, covered up the inside story that the Lin family wanted to hide.
The Lin family's attitude changed obviously. The Liu family had long wanted to investigate, but no matter whether they sent people or went themselves, there was no suitable opportunity.
Now they have a reason. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, the Liu family will definitely not let it go.
The two of them took the opportunity to talk about this matter again, but they couldn't participate in any further discussion, so they could only drop the topic and go to bed.
After staying in a tent in the wild for two nights, they finally saw a familiar town.
He went in to replenish a bunch of supplies and met with the city's managers to make sure there were no problems before leaving in the carriage.
Maybe it's true that each person has his or her own side. Their identities are very useful in Yingchuan area. No matter what the temperament of the town managers is, they will always be nice to them.
Until the carriage left Yingchuan area and arrived at the new clan territory.
"Mom, where is this?" Liu Mingjin opened his eyes and looked out the window.
Last night, just as they were trying to find a place to rest, they were attacked by a group of birds as long as their arms and had to drive the carriage on the road at night.
Liu Mingjin could only lie in the car and sleep. He was woken up several times while still groggy, and there were faint marks on his chubby white face.
"This is Qing'an County. Go further and you will enter Qing'an City."
Qing'an County is adjacent to Yingchuan, an area where resources are not very abundant.
The clan that manages this place is named Shang. They are locals and have been rooted in Qing'an for hundreds of years.
In short, the Shang family does not have a very good reputation, especially since they had driven people away before. This is the area with the least population in the surrounding areas.
They came to Qing'an County this time because they had to pass by here on their way to a place.
"We won't stay here, Jin'er. Be careful when you go into the city later."
This is not the same town as before, so there will be no danger even if the two of them go out.
Shen Yao has a new set of adaptation rules every time he goes to a place.
Liu Mingjin nodded. He understood that he just had to listen to his mother.
The carriage continued forward, passing the tall mountains and arriving at an endless plain.
They walked forward in a dusty manner, and occasionally they could hear a few voices different from their own.
These are ordinary people living in the surrounding area, and some simply hide in the mountains.
After all, everyone knows that the Shang family is not honest. Unless they can't walk or are too much of a burden, those who can run choose to leave Qing'an.
'The land here is very desolate,' with patches of land overgrown with weeds.
Shen Yao sighed, thinking that the people at the bottom of society would be most affected by the war. Their homes, which they had built with great difficulty, would be destroyed, and they would become a pauper.
You can tell that these fields are of good quality just by looking at them, but now they are barren and no one comes to take care of them, leaving the wild weeds growing wildly around them.
'You have to walk forward for a while before you can see cultivated land, but those are the fields of the Shang family.' Ordinary people have long lost their qualifications to be farmers and have become tenants hired by the Shang family.
The life of tenant farmers was even worse than that of farmers. After working hard for a year, the remaining food was just enough to fill their stomachs. If they got sick, they could no longer be tenant farmers and became servants who had signed indentures to sell themselves.
Relying on such means, the Shang family has long dominated the entire Qing'an County.
Now, everything inside and outside Qing'an County belongs to the Shang family. If the Shang family were not timid and afraid to take action, they might have become the emperor.
'So we need to resolve this war as quickly as possible,' calm the disputes and stabilize people's livelihood.
As if she saw the merits about to fly towards her, Shen Yao asked about the progress of Liu Jingsheng and his group.
Since he had already left Yingchuan, Liu Jingsheng should also set off for the Lin family's territory.
The system answered affirmatively, "We have left, but we encountered some trouble on the way. It's not too dangerous, but we will suffer a little."
Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, looking very interested, "Is it so dangerous outside?" She felt it was okay, at least all the troubles she encountered were successfully solved.
"It's different. There are other people involved." Besides, the Lin family doesn't want to see the Liu family arrive at the jurisdiction intact. It would be best if there were some accidents along the way and some people were lost. This is what they really think.
Powerful allies are good, but what they want most is an ally who can always depend on them.
They would be afraid if the Liu Family was strong, but would be useless if the Liu Family was weak. It would be best to let the Liu Family maintain a moderate strength so that they would feel at ease when using them.
Shen Yao:......
"These people just think too highly of themselves," he said, as if looking at someone who is not calculating.
The Liu family also hopes that the Lin family will fall. It would be best if all those standing in their way would meet with accidents, and they themselves would be lucky enough to gain both fame and fortune.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Ambitious people will do the same." The Liu family is now going down the same path.
'Please keep an eye on them for me. If there is any danger, please remind me in time.'
Shen Yao herself cannot help, but she can use resources to make the system take action.
However, when the day comes that she takes action, it can only be said that the Liu family is facing a life-and-death crisis, and the world is on the brink of destruction.
Otherwise, Shen Yao couldn't imagine who could hurt a few children with great luck. Even the villain couldn't stop them from going against the Son of Heaven.
What's more, there are no big villains in this world. In fact, because the world is not stable, there are a large number of lucky people, big and small, who have shared a lot of luck.
Through the art of observing qi and daily care, the luck of Shen Yao's four children has become extremely good. Although they may get into trouble occasionally, they can always turn danger into safety and turn misfortune into fortune.
It was the same this time. The trouble the system mentioned was nothing more than encountering a group of demon soldiers. The two sides fought directly, and in the end, Liu Jingsheng's side won.
After all, the demons can now move freely in the human territory.
Except for some cities that they failed to capture, they could swagger into the remaining cities and kill people for fun without restraint.
Liu Mingxuan and Liu Mingchen hated this kind of situation. Whenever they encountered it, they would chop it down without holding back.
Liu Jingsheng didn't say much about this. He didn't like this kind of world, but the human race was not a group that could unite as one, otherwise today's disaster would not have happened.
Shen Yao and others are going in opposite directions from Liu Jingsheng and others, and there is no intersection between the two sides for the time being.
While Shen Yao was being harassed by the Shang family of Qing'an County, Liu Jingsheng and others were busy killing the monsters.
When Shen Yao moved to a new territory and successfully got rid of the Shang family, Liu Jingsheng and others looked at each other in surprise and were wary of each other.
……
Shen Yao and the others stopped along the way. Liu Mingjin, who was with them, saw too many towns and cities, and thus understood the complexity of human nature.
After a year of walking and coming, Shen Yao and others finally returned to the village.
Liu Mingjin is one year older. He has grown taller and more mature.
He no longer looked forward to going out with joy, but instead took one step at a time, allowing his practice time to quietly extend.
