Chapter 9 That woman is too amazing
Yunyi was disappointed but also understood, since iron in ancient times was a government-controlled commodity and not something that ordinary people could easily possess.
The original owner was bought by Xia Songshi. Although she was nominally Xia Tianyin's wife, they neither had a wedding ceremony nor consummated their marriage, and naturally, she was not registered as a household member.
Household registration requires a marriage certificate to be obtained from the government office, which involves paying money. Therefore, many families here do not obtain marriage certificates or household registration for their daughters-in-law in order to save money.
Many families don't even register their daughters' household registration, since they'll eventually get married and there's no need to spend the money.
To put it bluntly, the original owner was an unregistered resident in Xiajiazhuang and had no proof of residency, so he had no right to purchase iron products.
"Brother Blacksmith, I don't have a household registration certificate, but my family really needs a tool for chopping wood and weeding. Could you possibly make an exception?" Yunyi asked persistently. "I have money, and I won't tell anyone."
"This..." The blacksmith hesitated.
"Please, my home is in the village. I used to have a sickle, but I lost it. I can't possibly use my only kitchen knife to chop firewood," Yunyi said pitifully.
[Tsk tsk.] Sixteen couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. [Boss, you're quite the expert at playing the victim now.] Because it doesn't need to make a sound or open its mouth to communicate with Yunyi, no one can detect it.
No one even noticed that there was a living creature in the basket.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Yunyi, he realized that she had temporarily blocked him. He was furious, but in the end he gave up and decided that eating was the priority.
"Alright, since the young lady has put it that way, I do have something here that I can give to you privately if you want it, but you can't tell anyone else." The blacksmith seemed reluctant, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke, still keeping his voice low.
"Okay." Yunyi nodded with a smile.
The blacksmith then led her to the backyard and took out a small axe: "I secretly forged this with the iron I saved up. Although it's small, once it's engraved and you attach the handle, it'll be fine for chopping wood."
Yunyi looked at the tiny axe, about the size of a baby's fist, and couldn't help but laugh: "How much silver?"
"Give me five taels, but don't tell anyone, or we'll both be in trouble."
Yunyi took out six taels of silver and handed it over: "Don't worry, I won't recognize you once I leave. Help me open the seal and get a sturdy handle."
……
The journey from Liyu Town to Xiajiazhuang was not short; it took an hour by oxcart. So, after buying everything she wanted for the day, Yunyi hurried back.
An hour later, it will be dark.
The area is surrounded by mountains, and traveling in the dark is very dangerous.
They were surrounded by people shortly after leaving the town.
[Boss, I said I wanted to be a wolf, but you insisted on selling that wolf. I wanted to be a tiger, but you wouldn't let me. Now I'm just a monkey. Who can I beat? You won't let me do this or that, you won't let me do anything...] Sixteen started muttering to himself.
Yunyi immediately took off her basket, glanced at the five thugs surrounding her, and pulled out the axe handle that the blacksmith had given her. It was a two-foot-long piece of white ash wood that had been meticulously crafted: "Come at me all at once."
"Wh...what?" The thugs seemed not to understand.
"Didn't you say you wanted to rob me? Then hurry up, I'm in a hurry to get back to dinner." Yunyi stretched her arms and legs. "Since you're not going to do anything, then I won't be polite."
Before the group could even react, they screamed in agony as they were thrown one after another into the nearby ditch.
They're still stacked up like a human pyramid.
Yunyi glanced at the group of people, then slung her basket over her shoulder, picked up Sixteen, and left.
"Big...Big brother...you...you guys hurry up and get up!" The person at the bottom was almost out of breath and could only speak intermittently.
"I want to too, Fifth Brother, get up quickly..."
"Big brother, that's second brother upstairs..."
The five people finally climbed out of the ditch, but one's leg was swollen, another couldn't lift his arm, and Yunyi was nowhere to be seen.
"Big brother, that woman is too powerful." Fifth Brother muttered, rubbing his swollen arm. "I didn't even see how she made her move, and then..."
"Shut up." The boss slapped him on the head, but ended up pulling his shoulder, making him grimace for a while before recovering. "You talk as if I saw it clearly."
The group immediately fell silent.
"Big...Big Brother." The fourth brother, who had been pressed to the bottom, suddenly turned to look at the eldest brother. "These days, we've been suppressed by Tiger Head and his gang to the point of being unable to lift our heads. If...if this woman could join us, that would be great."
"Don't even think about it." The eldest brother slapped the third brother again. "Besides, she's a woman."
The third brother curled his lip, thinking to himself, "What's wrong with women? They can hunt black bears and white wolves, and they can even take care of the five of us brothers." But he dared not say this, otherwise he would get beaten up, and he couldn't beat his eldest brother anyway.
Yunyi had already walked far away, but in order to avoid being caught up by those behind her, she turned into the mountains, found a bay to wash off the disguise on her face, and then quickly headed towards Xia Family Village.
"Boss, ever since we reunited, I've never understood how you, in your current body, which is just an ordinary girl, can possess such formidable fighting power? Before, you were incredibly strong climbing mountains and trees—were you secretly taking other dogs with you?" Sixteen couldn't stay calm any longer. "Waaah, am I not your only one anymore?"
"Soul power." Yun Yi rolled her eyes speechlessly. If it weren't for the sealed space, she really wouldn't want this thing; it was such a nuisance.
"Oh my god, boss, your soul power has actually arrived? But it shouldn't be this weak." Sixteen was a little conflicted because it didn't have enough energy to sense its master's situation. However, in the previous three thousand small worlds, its boss's soul power was already quite strong. In the last plane, it didn't even need to lift a finger; its gaze could kill.
“Every world has its rules. If I use my soul power, wouldn’t that be cheating? Do you think the Heavenly Dao would allow it?”
The sixteenth silence is based on this principle.
"My current soul power has only enhanced my physique, making me a little stronger than ordinary people. Also, if you keep babbling, I'll eat boiled monkey brains when I get home tonight."
sixteen:……
Meanwhile, at home, Xia Songshi was very uneasy after Yunyi left, but she dared not show it.
She wanted that woman to come back, but at the same time she was worried that the woman wouldn't come back, so she was very conflicted.
Of course, the seven treasures felt the same way.
