It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 212

Old Master Fang walked into the city tremblingly and found a corner where he could not be easily discovered and sat down.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the doormen turned pale, broke out in cold sweat, curled up and covered their abdomens, and moved one after another to the toilet not far away.

The pain in the anus was so unbearable that not only could they not take turns on duty, they also had no intention of pursuing the culprit who had caused them to suffer this crime.

Jiang Yan and others who had returned quietly saw that the city gate was unguarded, so they immediately seized the opportunity and ran into the city.

Those waiting outside the city gate looked around in surprise, and then squeezed into the city, fearing that they would be left behind and stopped outside the city by the gatekeepers.

Because there were so many people, the noise made by the swarm of people running around attracted the curious gazes of passers-by nearby.

Because they were too confident in the strict attitude of the county's gatekeepers to not miss a single one, no one thought that the city gate was wide open and unmanned at this moment, and naturally no one could guess that this group of people in a hurry had simply evaded the entrance fee.

To be precise, among the nearly 100 people returning home, only Mr. Fang paid the high entrance fee.

But with the addition of five more people to the team, the total "temporary gang" of eleven people, each person contributed a copper coin, plus some food, it cannot be said that it is absolutely not a loss, but at least it has returned to the entrance fee standard of two or three years ago.

After receiving the news that Mr. Fang had removed his disguise, the "temporary gang" also rushed westward without stopping.

After this incident, I wonder when those doormen will be able to recover and report to the county magistrate to arrest them...

When it was completely dark, Jiang Yan accidentally caught sight of the waning moon in the sky while running, and suddenly realized a serious problem that had been overlooked by everyone.

"The city gates are closed after nightfall, and we can't get out in time."

Yes... All the members of the "temporary gang" were a little confused. They had been busy traveling in the wild day and night these days and had forgotten such an important point. No one mentioned it during the afternoon discussion.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Fang whispered, "How about we wait overnight and leave tomorrow when the city gates open?"

"Wait until tomorrow... just guard the city gate and you can capture us." Kui Niang said in a long tone, "Alas~ If I had known earlier, I would have waited until tomorrow to take action, and it wouldn't be like this now."

If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have rushed out of the house if we could have regretted it. Lady Li didn't like to hear meaningless and discouraging words, so she asked directly:

"How about we find a way to sneak out of the city gate?"

"Let's give it a try," Kui Niang's expression didn't hold much hope, but she had already made plans:

"Jiang Cao, take out those two precious croton seeds of yours and try them again. See if you can send all the doormen into the toilet."

Jiang Yan: ...I suddenly can’t bear to let go.

In order to return to Dongshan Village safely, Jiang Yan made another effort in Xiakou County.

Since the effect of the poisonous mushroom powder in her hand could not be accurately controlled and the amount of powder had not been replenished, she thought of the famous laxative medicine croton powder.

As for croton, the name suggests it is a kind of bean, but it cannot beautify the skin or nourish the body, and it can cause diarrhea if eaten. Not many people buy it, so it must be sold very cheaply.

Jiang Yan, who was frugal and planned to grind flour by himself to avoid being cheated by others, ran to the grain store with full confidence. After looking around, he couldn't recognize which one was croton.

There was no other way, Jiang Yan could only ask the waiter, but the waiter didn't know either, so she could only ask the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper knew about croton seeds, but unfortunately, they were not sold in the store.

Jiang Yan still remembers the shopkeeper's incredible expression and his earnest advice.

"I don't know where you heard about croton, but it's expensive and extremely poisonous, so only doctors can get it. If you want to fill your stomach, you'd better buy some ordinary soybeans from the store."
