Chapter 247 Surfaced
"Old man Li, bring it here, please?" The honest driver looked arrogant, raised the corner of his mouth and said in a cold voice.
"I don't have any money." Old man Li said this, but his right hand unconsciously covered his chest.
The two drivers looked at each other, laughed at the same time, and approached Old Man Li step by step. The others wanted to stop them but were powerless.
The honest driver reached out and grabbed one of Old Man Li's arms and turned his arm behind his back. The thin driver also grabbed his other arm in the same way and turned it behind his back.
The honest driver behind Old Man Li grabbed his hands and held him tightly in front of him.
"What are you doing? This is against the law. I'm going to sue you." Old man Li was so scared that he screamed and yelled. His panic had reached its peak and he couldn't even imagine what was going to happen next.
"Okay, go ahead and sue us. If the government can catch us, it will be a credit to you." The thin coachman sneered and put his hand into the arms of old man Li in front of everyone in the Li family.
Seeing his actions, Old Man Li twisted his body frantically, trying to throw the hand out of his arms, but with the honest driver restraining him from behind, how could he make any big movements?
I could only watch as the skinny driver took out a heavy cloth bag from his arms.
That was all his fortune. Old man Li wanted to snatch it back from him and struggled to pull his hands out from behind.
The honest driver noticed his intention and held his arms even tighter. Old man Li could only watch as the skinny driver opened the cloth bag.
If looks could kill, the skinny driver would have been chopped into pieces by him.
Not to mention that the skinny driver didn't know what Old Man Li was thinking at the moment, even if he knew, it would have no effect on him. He had no idea how many people he had killed, so how could he be afraid of an old man like him?
The cloth bag in his hand was quickly opened, and it was indeed full of silver. The thin coachman counted it and found that there were a total of thirty-one taels of silver.
"Brother, this family is so poor, but I didn't expect that they had all the silver here with this old man. There is a total of thirty-one taels of silver." The thin coachman was quite satisfied with the silver he found.
"It's really worth our hard work. We can go to Huamanlou and have a good time for a few days." The honest coachman smiled obscenely, and he felt a lot more favorable towards the Li family members who had been served by him for two days.
"The silver is mine, give it back to me." Old man Li's eyes were red with anger and he wished he could fight them to the death.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that he had got the money, the honest driver let go of Old Man Li and kicked him hard.
It's not that he is so merciful, he just did it for the sake of the money. If it were the same as in the past, he would have been knocked down twice with one kick.
Besides being angry, everyone in the Li family was also confused. How could Old Man Li have so much silver on him?
As far as they knew, the old woman sold twelve taels of silver and asked Li Xiaoxiao for five taels of silver for travel expenses, which added up to seventeen taels. Where did the other fourteen taels come from?
They also spent a lot on food and accommodation during the past two days, which means they spent even more than this before.
Could it be that these fourteen taels of silver were the leftovers from before?
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes changed color when they looked at Old Man Li again. At that time, Old Man Li was still short of ten taels of silver. If he had these ten taels of silver, Old Man Li's leg could be saved.
And Li Laosi, if he had the fourteen taels of silver, he could also go find the famous doctor that the old doctor mentioned. Perhaps Li Laosi would be able to speak now.
But Old Man Li did not give the silver to any of them, but hid it secretly. If they had not encountered the two robbers this time, they would not have known how much silver Old Man Li had.
"Let's go." The honest driver waved to the thin driver. Now that he had the money, he must reward himself.
"You can't leave." Old man Li hugged the driver's legs tightly, tears streaming down his face. "You left my family here in the wilderness. If we encounter wolves, tigers or leopards, we will all be dead."
Old man Li's wailing brought everyone back to their senses. Now was not the time to think about the fourteen taels of silver. They were about to be left in the wilderness.
"Please give us a way out. This place is far away from our home. How can we go back without money?" Jiang screamed and cried for her parents.
"Two brave men, please at least leave us enough money for the trip back home. We are a family of old, weak and disabled people, and it is freezing cold. Please have pity on us." Liu said with such grievance that she actually shed tears.
"Big brother, look at my body. I will never be able to stand up again. My fourth brother is also disabled. You know the situation at home. I won't ask for more from you. Just give me the money for your trip home." Li Dajiang is worthy of being an educated man. He is good at playing the emotional card and speaking with emotion and reason.
As expected, after hearing his words, the two of them hesitated. They specialized in this kind of robbery and had robbed many people, but their family was the worst off.
The honest driver hesitated for a moment, took out a tael of silver from his pocket and threw it to Boss Li.
Then the two of them each drove a carriage, threw all the Li family's things on the ground, and quickly ran away without a trace.
The cold wind was blowing, and the Li family members were either sitting or lying on the ground. Each of them had a heavy look on their face and their mood was at its lowest.
"Mom, I'm cold." Li Xiaobao spoke first. He had been sitting on the ground for a while. Although his mother was holding him, the wind still made him shiver all over.
Jiang hugged Li Xiaobao tightly, and suddenly she found that she had strength in her hands. She smiled and started crying: "Oh my God, this is such a sin!"
Little Niuniu looked at her mother crying and laughing, and she also burst into tears.
Li Laosi was already in a bad mood, and when he heard the crying of a child, he became even more furious.
"Ah, ah." Although he couldn't speak, Li Laosi grabbed something on the ground and threw it at Jiang to vent his anger.
"Why are you yelling at the child, you bastard? If you have the guts, go after those two robbers. They only know how to bully us mothers." Jiang had lived with him for many years, so she naturally knew his temper. She knew without guessing that he was scolding the child, and she got so angry that she started quarreling with him.
"Enough, it's already this late and you're still in the mood to quarrel here. The important thing is to think about how to get back home." Li Dajiang held the one or two taels of silver in his hand, and he didn't know what words to use to describe his current mood.
He had never felt so frustrated before. He thought his lameness was destined.
Unexpectedly, his father, who always said that he loved him, actually hid the silver and watched his leg being broken.
"Dad, those people want ten taels of silver. If I gave them my legs would still be fine. Why don't you give them?"
