She stuffed the shoes into his bag and said with red eyes: "I don't have anything good for you at home. You will definitely use up shoes when you go out. Take these three pairs with you first. I will make them for you later. Wait for you next year."
Come back with the caravan and I'll give you some more."
Zhou Yin responded, patted his chest and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't suffer hardship if I follow the caravan."
Qian nodded and sent the people all the way to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. Only then did the people in the village know that Zhou Yin had sold him.
And the employer they went to work for this time was Zhou Yin's owner.
The villagers stood silently under the big banyan tree and watched the group of people leave the village and go up the mountain road.
When they arrived at the county seat, the people in the business immediately took over this group of people, separated them and arranged them.
The goods sold by this firm include tea, cloth and medicinal materials, and there is also a batch of grain in it, which was an order received from the Wu family when they passed through Shangzhou in the beginning of spring.
Spring had just begun at that time, and although there were signs of drought, I didn't expect the water to be so serious, and things were blocked on the road...
Nowadays, the world outside is not good, and there are refugees everywhere, so the big manager wants to clear all the goods in Luojiang County, and they can take the money and leave.
By now, most of the goods have been cleared, and there is still a small half left. The chief steward decided to take the caravan back first. He has also contacted the buyers for the remaining goods. They will come over one after another to hand over the goods. At that time, he only needs to count the goods.
Just give the goods to them.
Zhou Dalang's mission is to cooperate with the people left in the business to guard the goods. When the buyers come, they have to move and load the goods...
Zhou Yin separated from them and went to see the chief steward with his baggage.
The chief steward smiled at him and said, "You're here just in time. Go change some clothes and come talk to me after dinner."
Zhou Yin agreed, took a baggage, and was led to a room to change clothes.
Although it was a servant's clothes and not brand new, it was still much better than what he had worn before.
Zhou Yin put on his clothes, looked at his face in the water, and became satisfied.
Perhaps because he had been hungry for a long time, the store gave him a bowl of porridge and a plate of steamed buns.
Zhou Yin finished his meal carefully, burped lightly, and went to find the chief steward with satisfaction.
The chief steward took him out and went directly to the city gate. He pointed at the sparse crowds of people coming in and out of the city gate and said, "Did you see that?"
Zhou Yin nodded, "I saw it."
The second steward also looked at it with a confused look on his face, not knowing what they saw.
Zhou Yin said: "There are very few people leaving the city, and not many people entering the city, but there are many soldiers guarding both sides, more than the people entering and exiting the city. Today we entered through the west gate, and it is the same there."
The chief steward nodded, "What do you think?"
Zhou Yin said uncertainly: "Chief steward, can't we get out of the city?"
The chief steward glanced at him approvingly and said, "It's okay for people to leave the city, but things can't go out."
Zhou Yin understood that their county magistrate had tried his best to save Luojiang County.
but……
"What does the chief steward mean?"
Chief Steward: "Find a way to get out."
Zhou Yin: "...Big manager, I am just a bastard. If the younger one had that ability, would he be so hungry that he would sell himself out?"
The chief steward patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "As long as I lead the caravan out of this city gate, I think you will have a way."
Zhou Yin lowered his eyes and said, "It's no problem for people and carriages to go out, but I'm afraid I won't be able to take food and goods out."
"I only bring the rations for the caravan. I will keep that batch of food in Luojiang County and sell it in two days when the food price is about the same." The chief steward said: "You just need to find a way to take our carriages, horses and money out.
.”
Zhou Yin pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.
Zhou Yin took a bag of grain from the chief steward, divided it into small bags and carried it outside. When he came back in the afternoon, he had it all done and said to the chief steward: "We will leave the city at 00 o'clock tomorrow."
Mao hour is when the city gates are opened.
"Can money and belongings be left out?"
Zhou Yin nodded, "Our business is not local. As long as we don't bring bulk goods, they will turn a blind eye and let us leave."
The chief steward breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Well done, go and have a rest and get up early tomorrow."
Zhou Yin responded.
As soon as he left, the first manager and the second manager laughed and said, "How about it? I saw the wrong person, right? Rats have their own way. Don't underestimate these people. He can live so freely in the county.
Doorway.”
It's just that the status is too low and there are few resources available, which is why we are trapped here.
The chief steward was full of confidence and believed that he would be able to use Zhou Yin to his advantage and train him in the future.
However, God did not fulfill people's wishes.
I don't know if he was too hungry or if it was his first time out and he was not used to the local environment. He fell ill.
The journey was very difficult. There were many refugees on the road. They needed to avoid the strong group of refugees. There were also riots in some places, so they needed to avoid them.
So it was only a five-day journey, but they had to walk for half a month to get there.
When he arrived in Shangzhou, Zhou Yin was already ill and could not get up. As soon as he entered the city, the chief steward went to see a doctor.
The doctor suspected that it was an epidemic, but was not sure, so he could only prescribe two sets of medicine to him first.
After Zhou Yin ate it, it didn't have much effect. The caravan couldn't stay here for him. After weighing it, the chief manager decided to keep him.
When he made this decision, he felt as if his heart had been torn out, "You are the one I like. I didn't expect that you couldn't even accompany me home."
Zhou Yin, whose hand was held:...
The chief steward took out his deed of betrayal and handed it to him with a distressed look on his face, "If I take you with me, you will definitely die. If you stay here, there may be a way to survive. You, you..."
Zhou Yin glanced at the deed of betrayal, shook his head and said: "Boss, please take the deed of betrayal with you and leave me here. Come back next year to look for me. If I am still alive, you will definitely find me. If I die, you will find me."
Yes, you can also send a message to my home."
Although the chief manager really wanted to do this, after all, he really liked Zhou Yin, he still put the deed of betrayal into his hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You have no books and no criminal record. If you stay here, it will be very difficult for you to do so."
It's easy to be treated as a refugee, so just take this deed of betrayal."
"Oh, it means that we are not destined to be masters and servants, but we are destined to be friends. If we meet again in the future, don't forget me as a friend."
Only then did Zhou Yin respond.
The chief steward paid him a few days' rent and gave him a sum of money to take and let him treat his illness.
If he can't be cured after all the money is spent, that person will probably die.
The caravan just left. Zhou Yin stayed in an inn and took medicine on time every day. His condition didn't get worse, but it didn't get better either.
After the money was spent, he had no choice but to leave the inn.
