The more people, the greater the strength! Everyone carried back and forth several times. Finally, all the things the rioters had plundered were moved to the roadside. Only one injured cow remained. Several strong villagers were lifting it onto a cart. The cow had not yet died, but it looked like it wouldn't survive. Once they found a place to rest in the early morning, they would kill it for everyone to have a taste of meat!
"Alright! The items are mostly moved. Let's go over too!" Su Minghui said, carrying the silver and walking towards the roadside with the ox cart. He had to go and tell everyone about this good news first. And see how the silver would be distributed.
Su Minghui couldn't stop smiling. He had never imagined that one day he would be worried about how to divide silver!
Su Muqing walked to Wang Shi's ear and whispered, "Auntie, I need to go relieve myself over there. I just fell and found some silver, so I ran over quickly. I haven't had a chance to go yet! I'm about to burst!"
Wang Shi almost burst out laughing when she saw her anxious expression. Thinking that young ladies were shy, she forced herself to hold back. "Go quickly! Do you want your Cui Ping sister to accompany you?"
"No, no! I can't go if someone is next to me. None of you are allowed to come over!" Su Muqing whispered as she ran away!
Su Cuiping waved her hand. Smiling, she said, "Alright, alright! Do you think anyone wants to smell your stench? Hide yourself well, don't let anyone see you. Hahaha!"
"Crazy girl~" Wang Shi wanted to pat Su Cuiping's head again upon hearing her words.
"Nyah nyah nyah~" Su Cuiping hid behind Lin Rongrong while making faces at her mother.
Su Muxuan saw this and thought Su Cuiping was playing hide-and-seek with him. His mouth stretched into a smile, and he danced with his hands, reaching out towards Su Cuiping!
Seeing that they were not following, Su Muqing walked to her previous spot and, using the dry grass around to shield her, picked up a stone and began to dig a hole in the ground.
After digging for about two minutes, she saw a bit of dark red in the soil. She touched it with her hand. It should be the box that 217 mentioned. Since she didn't know how big the box was, Su Muqing deliberately retreated a little. As long as she could touch it, it would be fine.
"Receive!" Su Muqing pressed her finger against the wooden box and silently chanted in her heart.
Where the ground had been flat before, after a rustling sound, a considerable pit appeared. Two other boxes also showed a bit of themselves. Su Muqing quickly collected them into her space. In her haste, she misjudged the distance and fell directly into the pit!
Su Muqing... she didn't expect to avoid falling into a pit after all!
"Muqing, why are you covered in so much dust? Did you fall into a pit?" Su Cuiping asked with some confusion as Su Muqing walked over, covered in dirt. Didn't she go to do her business? Why did she look like she had rolled on the ground?
"Oh, don't mention it. Let's go, let's hurry back!" Su Muqing said, dusting herself off and urging the others to go back. She didn't want to talk much about falling into the pit!
...
"Qing丫头 is back! Quickly, make way."
As they rejoined the main group, they felt the atmosphere was a bit strange. Everyone had a somewhat dazzling smile on their faces, especially those who had previously ostracized the siblings, either openly or subtly. Their eager and enthusiastic expressions made Su Muqing's scalp tingle!
"You're back? Qing丫头, these uncles and aunties, as soon as they heard that you found the silver, they said they wanted to thank you first. They even said you are the lucky star of our village!" Su Minghui's voice was very loud. He added the words "lucky star" himself. He was deliberately saying it for certain people to hear.
Su Minghui truly looked down on many people here. In the morning, they had scorned the siblings as burdens. But as soon as they heard they had found silver and wanted a share, they immediately came to flatter and curry favor! Where was the demeanor of elders? Their behavior was truly unsightly!
Su Muqing listened to them, smiled obediently, and then said generously, "My brother and I can have no worries thanks to the care of the village elders. Now that we have another sister, we will still rely on you, uncles and elders! When my uncle and the others have discussed it, they will tell us how to divide it. Actually, no matter how much or how little we get, it's still an income. When we reach the next town, we can at least buy some things for the family."
As soon as everyone heard Su Muqing's statement that she would share, their impression of her greatly improved. People were praising her generosity. Some said she was filial, others said she was kind. Even more said that they could tell from a young age that Su Muqing would achieve great things when she grew up!
Su Minghui and the others: ......? Do you have to be so fickle?
However, for Su Muqing, such enthusiasm was not a bad thing. At least in her mind, 217's voice was constantly broadcasting. In just this short while, she had gained over a thousand gratitude points. Converted into contribution points, that was over a hundred points. Adding to what she had before, she was close to accumulating two hundred contribution points.
This was only from the gratitude emotions generated by the people present. Su Muqing guessed that once the silver was actually distributed, the data would definitely surge again. It seemed she needed to find an opportunity to enter her space later. If the boxes contained gold, silver, and jewelry, she would directly upgrade her space to level three and unlock more skills. Having more skills never hurt!
After organizing the collected items, everyone had to start moving again. Fortunately, these rioters had several ox carts. Otherwise, with so many things, their original ox carts alone might not have been able to carry it all. Villagers were always reluctant to throw things away, let alone during these difficult times. They would be unwilling to discard anything!
When Su Muqing returned to the rear of the team, she specifically glanced around. The group of strange people from before had already disappeared. It seemed that when the three of them went to move things, those people had already set off.
Strictly speaking, these items should have belonged to those people. After all, the rioters were dealt with by them. Yet they left without receiving anything. As for the rioters thrown into the ditches by the roadside, they were probably in so much pain that they had fainted, or they had already died. In any case, the previous wailing sounds were completely gone. Of course, no one would care about their situation!
What Su Muqing didn't know was that because it was too dark now and they couldn't see clearly without torches, they didn't see the scene in the ditches. When later refugees passed by here in a few days, they would see dozens of bloody, dismembered corpses piled by the roadside. Some people would be so scared that they would wet their pants on the spot!
