The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 199 Exile 26

Yang Tiaotiao heard a knock on the door and was about to open it, but was stopped by Chao Tiancai.

He shook his head to stop Yang Tiaotiao from opening the door.

"Is there anyone inside? Chao Laoliu, you came here first, please take us in since we are from the same tribe!"

You knocked on the door again, and her words were so sincere and heartfelt that people couldn't help but feel softened.

But Chao Tiancai, the straight man, still did not move.

The twenty-four people standing behind Youshi were either holding wooden sticks they had picked up or just standing there shivering.

"Chao Laoliu, I know you are inside, please open the door, it's really cold outside, we are almost freezing to death!"

Yu's voice became more and more urgent, and Chao Tiancai replied slowly: "You can come in if you want, but you have to pay. Once you come in, you have to stay until the beginning of spring, and you can't do it without enough money!"

Chaotian finally spoke, but when the others heard this, they immediately kicked the door a few times in frustration.

The first person to curse was a young and strong man. Chao Yao didn't know him and thought he was most likely a student who was implicated or a subordinate who was involved in other rebellions.

"It's already this late, and instead of helping each other, you're trying to extort money from us. How can you do things this way? We, the group of people implicated, should have united as one, so that we can get out of this situation in ten years!"

Chao Qi's family was one of the very few who were able to survive. He looked at the group of people and sneered, then walked forward, took out a gold leaf from his arms, and handed it in through the crack in the door.

"There are still eight people in our family. This gold leaf is an advance payment. The rest of the silver will be given to you after our whole family goes in."

Chao Tiancai looked at the gold leaf handed to him through the crack in the door. There was a word "Chao" printed on it, which was a unique mark of the Chao family.

After receiving the money, Chao Tiancai actually didn't dare to open the door. With so many people outside, how could he resist?

Chao Yao walked over holding Chao Yuebai's hand. She also understood Chao Tiancai's concerns.

If she wants to leave with Lu Fufeng in the future, Chao Tiancai and the others will need help living here, otherwise they will have to face so many jackals, tigers and leopards every day, and there will be crises every moment.

The Chaoqi family is a good one. They didn't leave any family members behind along the way, and all of them survived. They also have a lot of money. Just based on these two points, they can definitely become partners of this family.

"Dad, you guys go in, I'll do it."

Chaotian disagreed, "How can you, a little girl, fight against these people? It doesn't matter, at worst we can all block them outside the door."

"It's okay, Dad. I can handle it."

Chao Yao pointed to another small door, and Chao Tiancai immediately understood what it meant.

She was signaling to Chao Qi and the others that they could sneak in through the small door.

"Dad, Mom, you guys take my brother in first. I'll talk to them over here."

Yang Tiaotiao didn't want to agree at first, but when she met Chao Yao's eyes, she obeyed.

After the three of them entered the inner room, Chao Yao said to Chao Qi's family outside: "You can come in and stay if you pay in advance, but we only have one guest room, so the eight of you can only stay there."

Chao Qi was overjoyed. "Sure, as long as we can get in, we will figure out how to live there ourselves."

When the others heard Chao Yao relax, they immediately shouted:

"Why? Why let them in? Chao Laoliu, if you let them in, you must let us in as well! Don't forget, we are from the same tribe!"

"Daughter of the Chaoliu family, we are your elders. If we die outside, you will be unfilial!"

"We have no money on us, how can we give you money? Let us in, and we will give you the money when spring comes next year!"

"Yes, yes, yes. When next spring comes, we will definitely make some money with all the land we have."

"How could you be so cruel to leave us outside in this freezing weather?"

"Open the door, open the door, it's freezing!"

Chao Yao ignored the chattering of these people and directly sent a message to Chao Qi and his family, "There is a small door on the right, you can come in from there."

After Chao Qi and the others heard the noise, they did not doubt it too much and just thought it was drowned out by the noise of these people.

Without saying a word, these people sneaked past from the back, and when they were about to enter through the small door, others noticed them.

Chao Yao quickly opened the door and let the whole family in.

When the others saw Chao Qi's family running in, they also hurried over.

But just as he was about to reach the entrance of the small door, he was blocked outside by an invisible gust of air.

"Let us in!"

"Hurry up and let us in. Why are you letting them in but not us?"

Chao Yao ignored their voices. After letting Chao Qi's family in, she closed all the doors.

As for the others, let them fend for themselves.

She thought the noise outside was too loud, so she set up a barrier to prevent these people from disturbing her family.

Qian still had that warm look on her face. She walked over with a smile, looked at Chao Yao, and kept expressing her gratitude.

"My dear daughters from the Sixth Family, thank you so much this time. Without you, our family might not be able to survive in this icy and snowy place."

Chao Qi looked around. The place was very clean and tidy, and it looked very warm.

"This place is so warm, it feels like hot weather."

Chao Yao smiled and pointed to the guest room, which was where Lu Fufeng used to live.

"Your family will live in that place from now on. This house has a heated bed and a heated wall. The heated bed is more than enough to accommodate ten people."

This was the first time they saw a kang. They touched it and found it was very warm.

"If people sit on it, the coldness of the whole day will be driven away, right? With these things, we don't have to worry about the cold all year round, right?"

Chao Qi's father, Chao Yinghe, was sitting on the kang, his weathered face full of shock.

"I wonder if all these people in the north live like this. It's much more comfortable than our winter in Shangjin City, right?"

The whole family was extremely curious about the entire room. They touched here and there and exclaimed in surprise from time to time.

Seeing that they had adapted to the new environment, Chao Yao said to them, "We have two meals a day. The money should be paid in advance. You can give the money to my father. The firewood needed for the kang is in the warehouse. You can move it yourself. When you come to live in our house, it is impossible for my parents to cook all the meals, so you need to do it yourself."
