This pawnshop was naturally not the one from yesterday. As soon as Yu Xiaolian entered the pawnshop, she followed the same routine as yesterday and made another miserable sale.

But unexpectedly, the one-eyed pawnshop owner looked around with the Pleasant Goat, but he never made any intention of offering a price to keep the Pleasant Goat.

Moreover, the glances he occasionally cast towards Yu Xiaolian made Yu Xiaolian feel a little panicked.

"Will you accept this? If not, I will go to another house and ask."

The one-eyed shopkeeper saw that Yu Xiaolian was a little anxious, so he smiled and said he would take a look again, and asked the waiter to pour her some sugar water.

Yu Xiaolian stared at the sugar water, not daring to drink it, and felt a twinge of uneasiness in her heart.

It happened that two more customers came in from the pawn shop to redeem their things. Yu Xiaolian took this opportunity to get the Pleasant Goat back.

After walking out of the shop, Yu Xiaolian originally planned to go to another pawn shop to exchange money, but unexpectedly found someone following her.

Hey, this pawnshop owner was just as she suspected. Seeing that she was a child, he wanted to hack her things.

Although this plastic product is not valuable in modern times, it was definitely a unique and rare item in ancient times. If he was willing to pay a few hundred taels, Yu Xiaolian would do it. After all, she had all these things.

But this evil-hearted guy doesn't even want to spend a penny, and wants nothing more than nothing.

The plan to go to the next pawn shop could only be put on hold temporarily, so Yu Xiaolian deliberately walked into a deserted alley.

The strange thing was that the man behind him saw her entering the alley, so he didn't follow her into the alley, but turned around and went back.

Yu Xiaolian took a look into the alley and discovered that there was only one house in the alley, with a red painted gate and two stone lion houses at the door. Look at the plaque above, Ji House.

This family looks very wealthy and mysterious, and the fence in the yard is very high.

When Yu Xiaolian saw that no one was following her, she turned around and went home.

It seems that selling all of Yangcun for money is not feasible. The risk is too great. She should honestly find a place to sell snacks tomorrow and keep a low profile.

"Shopkeeper, that kid entered the alley of Ji's house, and I didn't dare to follow him in."

"Ji's family?" The pawnshop owner waved his hand, indicating that the waiter should leave.

Although the Ji family is not one of the richest families in Yangcheng, it is not their turn to sell family heirlooms. It seems that the black boy knew that someone was following him, so he deliberately walked into the alley of the Ji family.

Although the Ji family is not rich and powerful, Mrs. Ji's two sons are not easy to mess with.

The eldest son of the Ji family is an executioner. He has chopped off many heads over the years.

The second son is a cobbler, and his profession is not much better than that of his elder brother.

After the prisoner was beheaded, if his family members wanted to bury the prisoner with all his tail intact, Ji Er would have to be responsible for sewing the head and body of the corpse together.

The two brothers are engaged in a special profession that may seem unlucky to normal people, but it must be said that it is a high-paying profession.

Moreover, it is rumored that the two brothers often engage in tomb robbing secretly.

In addition to Ji Da and Ji Er, the eccentric old lady of the Ji family is also good at dealing with strange poisons.

For such a Ji family, no one in Yangcheng who knows about it dares to provoke them.

Yu Xiaolian was lucky today. If the person who followed her hadn't seen her entering the alley of the Ji family and thought she was sent by the Ji family to sell stolen goods, she would have lost both her life and money by now.

When Yu Xiaolian returned home, she was still a little panicked. In a society governed by the rule of law, there were still robbers who committed crimes. In ancient times, they were killed silently. There was nowhere to complain. After all, there were no cameras.

When she was at the pawn shop, the one-eyed boss enthusiastically asked her to drink sugar water, but she didn't drink it out of precaution. Now it seems that if she had drank the sugar water, she probably wouldn't have been able to leave the pawn shop.

There are really bad people in every age.

She originally wanted to lead the person following her into a deserted alley and spray him with pepper spray, but unexpectedly the person turned around and went back.

Yu Xiaolian, who was still frightened, felt for the first time how difficult it was to live in ancient times, when everything could be remembered.

Mrs. Sun has been making clothes all morning. It is not cold yet, so the summer quilt can be used as a cover. The quilt can be made later. It is better to make a new set of clothes for the three of them first.

The first thing the Sun family did was Yu Changhe's. Yu Changhe was the head of the family, so of course he had to do it first.

When Yu Xiaolian entered the house with a dark face, Mrs. Sun was shocked, "What's wrong with your face?"

It was still clean when I went out early, but in the blink of an eye it seemed like I had rolled through a mud puddle.

"I'm fine." Yu Xiaolian told Sun what happened, and Sun was so frightened that she repeatedly told Yu Xiaolian not to go to the pawn shop again.

After what happened, Yu Xiaolian didn't dare to go there anymore. She was a weak person, and if she met someone with a bad heart again, she wouldn't know what tricks they were playing secretly.

After repeated assurances from Ms. Sun, Ms. Sun felt relieved.

Yu Xiaolian took out ten silver ingots from the space, totaling one hundred taels, and placed them on Sun's Kang, asking her to put them away and keep them for home use.

Mrs. Sun refused to take it, saying that it would be safest to put it in the space. Even if a thief came to the house, he wouldn't be able to steal it. If she wanted to use it, she would ask Yu Xiaolian for it.

Yu Xiaolian followed the principle that eggs should not be placed in one basket and asked Sun to keep the money. If her space suddenly disappeared, wouldn't they have to go back to the miserable life before?

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun thought it made sense, so she put away the hundred taels. But now that the house was empty, there was no place to hide it, so she had to hide it under the blanket first.

Mrs. Sun said to Yu Xiaolian, "Go and wash your face quickly. I will measure your size later. I will go out in the dark tonight and I can let you wear new clothes tomorrow."

Yu Xiaolian took a look and saw that Yu Changhe's clothes had begun to take shape, and praised Sun again in her heart. She is really an action person.

Yu Xiaolian washed her face, asked Sun to measure the size, and then ran to the backyard to feed the horse. Dahong had already eaten yesterday's straw bag, so Yu Xiaolian decided to improve its food and feed it some ingredients today.

Just as I was adding good ingredients to Dahong, I heard a knock on the wooden door in the backyard.

Looking through the gap in the door panel, I saw that it was the twin brothers who had come to deliver firewood yesterday.

Yu Xiaolian opened the door.

There are more firewood today than yesterday, thirty bundles.

The two brothers piled the firewood neatly, and then asked Yu Xiaolian a little shyly if he could give them some water to drink.

There is a well in the backyard, so Yu Xiaolian will not be stingy with the water.

"Wait, I'll get you some new water."

The water just fetched from the well is ice cold with a hint of sweetness, which is the best way to quench your thirst.

The two brothers drank several bowls of water.

The two brothers drank enough water and said they would burn charcoal at home tomorrow, and when the charcoal was ready, they would bring it to her.

Yu Xiaolian asked, "Where is your home? Is it far from Yangcheng?"

"My home is in Taohua Village on the outskirts of the city, not far from here, about half an hour's walk."

Yu Xiaolian asked again, "Can you tell me your names? And why do you two come to Yangcheng to sell firewood? Where are the adults in the family?"

The two children only have questions and answers.

"I am the eldest, my name is An Ning, and I am ten years old."

"I am the second child, my name is Anle, and I am also ten years old."

The two of them said in unison, "We are twins. People in the village call us Da'an and Xiao'an."

Although he is a country boy, his words are not impolite at all.

It can be seen that their parents raised their brothers very well.
