The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 188 Picking up the bargains

Several people outside the door tiptoed to the deck, opened the door, and entered the cargo hold to pick up the goods.

Su He hesitated again and again, but still did not dare to go out. She was surprised that this group of people succeeded so quickly. The crew on the ship and Xu Wansheng on the third floor were dealt with so quietly.

Forget it, since the person who came is so powerful, she should stay away from him. Her family is here, and if anything goes wrong, there will be no way to regret it.

After Su He made up her mind, she signaled Yanzhi and Miaomiao behind her to take care of themselves, while she continued to eavesdrop.

The entire ship seemed exceptionally quiet. Apart from the sound of wind and water, the only sounds were the suppressed breathing of the three men with scarred faces.

Xiao An felt inexplicably nervous, and after following the boss to carry out a box, he asked about the pick-up.

"Brother Dao, has the person who is going to pick us up arrived?"

Scarface frowned. Logically, the person should have arrived by now.

"I'll go take a look, you guys continue to carry the boxes."

I saw Brother Dao walking to the south by himself, carefully identifying the ships in the distance.

"Here it comes! Hurry up."

Brother Dao was delighted and signaled the younger brother behind him to lift it faster.

Xiao An and Xiao Sheng were so excited that their hands loosened as they were lifting the box, and it fell to the deck with a dull thud.

Both of them broke out in cold sweats.

"It's okay. They've all taken drugs. This little noise won't wake them up."

Xiao An didn't know whether he was comforting himself or Xiao Sheng. He wiped the sweat from his palms on his body and carried Xiao Sheng to the stern of the deck.

"Hurry! They're coming."

Scar helped pass the box they had brought over. Two people were already there to help. "Hurry, go get the second one."

Xiao An and the other man hurried back. When they successfully put down the second box, Xiao An wanted to go, "Boss, let's go get a few more."

"Hurry up and go. If you miss, go ahead. It's almost dawn now and they'll wake up soon."

Having taken everything that needed to be taken, Scarface didn't want to say anything more and used the rope to jump onto the waiting boat.

Xiaosheng was timid, and when he saw the boss leaving, he quickly pulled the rope and went down. Xiaoan looked back at the open door of the cargo hold, and followed him down with heartache.

Su He only heard a few loud bangs, and soon the cabin was silent again.

Su He decisively said goodbye to Yanzhi, asked her to lock the door, and then rushed out quietly.

The corridor was still pitch black at this time, and the doors on both sides seemed like they would open at any time. Su He shook off the goose bumps on his arms and rushed forward courageously.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Su He finally saw the door of the cargo hold, which was still wide open. Su He quickly looked around and took out a flashlight to shine inside. There were several clear footprints on the stairs at the entrance. Su He thought to herself that it was a close call, because if she had stepped in she would have left her own footprints. Her feet were small, and there was a difference between her and those thieves.

Although this was ancient times and there was neither surveillance nor professional detection equipment, Su He still did not dare to take it lightly.

Since you can't climb the stairs, why don't you just take the things in there?

Su He looked around again and put the folding ladder in the space into the cargo hold. The folding ladder was leaning against the original wooden ladder in the cargo hold. Su He made up his mind and went down.

Before she stepped on the ground, she went into the space to change into a new pair of shoes and covered her hair with a hair dryer cap. Then she left the space, turned on the light, and put all the boxes back into the space.

After he finished, he climbed up again, put away the ladder neatly, checked to see if there was anyone around, shone the flashlight around, and after making sure that nothing was left behind, he ran from outside to the stern along the retreat route of the thieves, quickly changed his shoes and took off his hair-drying cap, called Yanzhi softly, and the door opened all of a sudden.

Su He squeezed in, and Yan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Su He was unharmed.

"That group of people ran away. Everyone might have been drugged, so they haven't woken up yet. Remember, we are also unconscious. No one has left this door today."

Yanzhi found her backbone when she saw Su He coming back, and she did whatever Su He said.

"I see, Lotus, do you want to change your clothes? You smell."

Yanzhi couldn't see clearly, but when she approached Su He, she smelled a smell of dust mixed with a hint of fragrance. She didn't know what her cousin had done when she went out, but she vaguely knew in her mind that this should not be known to others. In that case, it would be better to change her clothes.

Su He was shocked. He thought it must have been contaminated in the cargo hold. There was a box in the cargo hold that smelled of sandalwood.

"Cousin, mother made two identical ones for both of us to wear. My one is yours."

Yanzhi took out her own set, and it was exactly the same as Suhe's.

Su He thanked gratefully and changed quickly.

"Yanzhi, leave the door open for me, I will throw this clothes into the river."

Su He packed up the clothes, opened the door and went out, turned a corner, put the clothes into the space, waited for a while and then went back.

"Sister, did those thieves steal anything?"

Miaomiao had been sitting next to Tiantian. She watched her sister finish packing before she moved closer and asked.

Su He felt guilty when hearing the word "thief". "Their target is the family on the third floor. I don't know what was stolen. It's probably silver. They don't like us peasants, so they just want to stun us and keep us out of the way."

Miaomiao seemed to understand something. "Those bad guys like to steal from rich people. It happened to us in Ling Village before. Wasn't that landlord killed? The same thing happened to this family on the third floor."

Yanzhi leaned on the other side of Su He and nodded in agreement, "Miaomiao is right, it's a good thing we are wearing tattered clothes, so people don't look down on us."

Su He's mind buzzed, and he was suddenly inspired by his sister's words.

These rich people are fat sheep in the eyes of those who have ulterior motives. If they only have money but no power or background, they will be the same as these people, and if they don’t die, they will be seriously injured.

Su He lost interest in buying a farm. She might not be able to keep it even if she bought it, so she decided to wait until Mu Tou became an official. She thought it would be better to settle down in the village in a low-key manner, build a better house, and live a stable life by farming.

"Yes, Miaomiao said it very well, so we peasants shouldn't have so much silver. The silver was lost upstairs, and I'm afraid they will cause trouble for us, and maybe search our luggage."

"Cousin, just keep 50 taels of silver with you. Let me keep all the other jewelry and silver. I'll find a way to hide them. I'll return them to you when it's safe. I'll go knock on grandpa's door to inform them. You stay inside the house."

Yanzhi nodded quickly and went to get the silver bills and gold bars.

After Su He took it, she went out. It was already dawn outside. Su He gently knocked on her grandfather's door. Her grandfather, her younger grandfather, her eldest uncle and Wang Bin lived there.

After knocking for a while there was no sound. Su He wondered if his grandfather and the others had been knocked unconscious.

"Grandpa, it's me."

Su He called softly next to the door, and it opened immediately. Su He fell in without warning.

"Lotus, why did you run out?"

It was Wang Fugui who opened the door. He pulled Su He in and closed the door nervously.

Su He went in and saw that all four of them were awake.
