Chapter 338 Beating someone with a sack

"Hey! You! Why did you let this kid register?"

Seeing Qiao Ran standing aside, the guard stepped forward and pulled her arm, asking in a very unhappy tone.

A cold light flashed in Qiao Ran's eyes, and she pinched the guard's wrist with one hand, freed her arm, and then coldly replied: "I queued up myself, and I will let whoever I want to register register. I want you to take care of it." ?”

The guard was so angry that his teeth were itching, but now they were standing in front of the Master. Only Qiao Sihai was registering in front, and the Master could see them as soon as he raised his head.

Afraid that the master would see them having this dispute, the guard had no choice but to give Qiao Ran a hard look.

I secretly decided in my heart that when the young master signs up later, there will be something good for them!

The guard took two steps back and whispered something to the young master. The young master nodded, and the guard strode outside the queue.

Qiao Ran glanced back and saw the guard walking towards a luxurious carriage, then saying something to several similarly dressed guards beside the carriage, and pointing towards Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran turned her head and gently pulled the corner of her lower lip.

When she looked back, she saw the young man standing behind her, staring at her with evil eyes.

Qiao Ran moved her fingers, and a wisp of powder hit the young man's clothes.

After Qiao Sihai finished registering, the two squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the street outside.

Behind him, two people dressed as guards followed sneakily.

Qiao Ran remained calm and pulled her fourth uncle toward an alley.

"Ran Ran, doesn't the street go that way?"

Qiao Sihai asked strangely.

Qiao Ran didn't look back and said, "Let's take a shortcut. We can also go through this road."

Qiao Sihai had no doubt that he was there and followed her into the alley, followed by the two figures behind her.

The alley was very small, and after turning a corner, the two people following behind were dumbfounded.

The long and narrow alley in front of me was empty, with no one around.

Where have people gone?

Just as they were stunned, two thick big sacks suddenly fell over their heads, and their eyes immediately turned pitch black.

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming amount of punches and kicks fell on their heads and bodies.

There was no chance to resist. Both sacks were tied tightly, and the people trapped in the bags were like trapped animals in a cage. All struggles and resistance were in vain.

In this empty alley, the atrocity lasted less than a cup of tea, but when the bag was untied, the two people inside had their faces covered with horrible bruises, their eyes were closed, their bodies were curled up, and their whole bodies were filled with tears. He had been beaten to death.

At the other end of the alley, Qiao Sihai, who was waiting anxiously, saw his eldest niece coming back. He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Ran Ran, have you solved the problem? Are you okay?"

Qiao Ran waved her hand coolly: "Fourth uncle, how can something happen to me? Come on, let's go shopping."

Qiao Sihai felt relieved when he saw that Ran Ran did not look injured.

Although he knew that Ran Ran was powerful, they were two guards, both from the Lian family, and he was worried that Ran Ran would suffer.

Now I know that I worried too much.

Also, he felt like he was dreaming when he remembered that his eldest niece had grabbed one of his arms and was carried up like a cloud, and he quickly hid at the corner of the alley.

If the person in front of him wasn't really his eldest niece, he would have thought he had met some god or mountain spirit.

Just be your eldest niece! No matter how rebellious she is, he knows that she will not harm him or the Qiao family, and that is enough.

"Ran Ran, please don't expose your skills to others in the future, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

As an elder, he did not forget to remind this niece who was only a few years younger than him, but was much more powerful than him.

Although she was on the road to escape from the wilderness before, Ran Ran was braver and faster than ordinary people. One person could deal with almost hundreds of refugees who came to rob her, and she was not afraid of even confronting ferocious beasts.

But this is the capital after all, different from those weak refugees and dumb beasts.

There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this capital, and there are all kinds of powerful people.

Those royal families, high officials and wealthy families would definitely have very powerful guards and thugs. He was afraid that Ran Ran would expose her skills to outsiders and offend others, which would bring trouble to herself.

Qiao Ran never resents the concern of her elders.

She nodded obediently: "I know, Fourth Uncle. Didn't I bring those two people to this remote alley on purpose so that no one could see them? Don't worry, I also gave those two people amnesia medicine, etc. When they wake up, they won't remember what happened. Those two people who bumped into you and took your position, I have already given them the punishment they deserve."

"Ranran, thank you!"

Qiao Sihai didn't know what else to say except thank you.

As an elder, he wants a junior to protect him and worry about his affairs. He is really ashamed!

However, being able to have such a wonderful niece like Ran Ran was a blessing he had cultivated over many lifetimes!

The uncle and nephew went to the bookstore and bought some pens, ink, paper, inkstones and some books. Then they went to buy some cakes and snacks for the family, and brought some toys for the little ones.

Qiao Ran thought for a while and then went to the grain store here to ask about the price of grain and seeds.

If you don’t ask, you won’t know that the price of food here is actually twice as expensive as that in Qingzhou Prefecture, and the price of a bucket of rice is fifty cents more expensive than that in several prefectures near the capital!

You know, a bushel of rice is equivalent to 12.5 kilograms. One kilogram of rice costs a few cents, and a hundred kilograms costs several hundred cents. How can a family with a large family and food consumption quickly afford it?

Fortunately, their village had food sent by Butler Zhou, Shopkeeper Chen, and Butler Zheng from General Zheng's mansion. Together with the old, worm-infested grain sent by the government, it was enough to sustain them until sowing in the spring.

When spring comes, flowers bloom, and all kinds of wild vegetables, mushrooms, wild animals, etc. can be easily obtained. They can be sold in the city in exchange for food, and it will not be a problem to support them for three or two more months.

In his free time after spring sowing, he can also teach the villagers to grow potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, yams, taro, peanuts and other crops.

Sweet potato leaves can be eaten as soon as they grow, and they are also a healthy vegetable!

Potatoes can be harvested in 60 to 100 days, and early-maturing varieties can be harvested in 60 days, which can greatly reduce food pressure.

Then as long as you persist until the first batch of grain matures, you have nothing to fear.

In fact, there’s no need to worry if the food hasn’t been planted yet, there’s still a lot of food in her space! When the time comes, just find a reason to take it out and share it with the villagers.

Qiao Ran thought about it and asked about the prices of some grains and vegetable seeds.

The price of seeds is much more expensive than grain, and Qiao Ran has seen it. Although those grain seeds have been screened, they are not as good as the ordinary grain in her space.

The hybrid rice, improved grain, and vegetable seeds of later generations are countless times better than those of ancient times.
