Mr. Yangui

Chapter 163 Chapter [-]

The warehouse is very large and divided into many rooms, most of which are for grain. The layout is very good and dry. The walls are made of high-quality green bricks without gaps. They have been polished repeatedly to make them look smooth and moisture-proof and rodent-proof.

The small rooms are filled with refined grains, but they are blocked by locked and heavy doors. The large rooms outside are filled with coarse grains, which are packed in burlap sacks and stacked on long wooden boards padded with bricks, which is very neat.

The outer room is near the gate, with moonlight coming in, so you can see the situation a little bit.

Li Wuchang picked up a sack of coarse grain, weighed it a little, and found that a bag of grain weighed about sixty catties.

"Come on, you carry this bag on your back, and I'll take the other bag." Li Wuchang carefully placed the bag of food in his hand on the half-grown child, and then let go.

thump!
The young man leaned forward and knelt down on the ground. Fortunately, Li Wuchang had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he dragged the bag of grain without causing any injuries.

Alas, although this young man is not very old, he is still fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is quite tall. On the surface, it should not be a big problem to carry about [-] catties of grain, but at this moment his legs and feet are weak. He is a village elder. Big ones, not doing rough work is negative, it should be hungry, resulting in lack of strength.

"I... I'll try again." After the young man said weakly, he took the food from Li Wuchang again. Unfortunately, after working hard for a long time, his face was flushed, but he couldn't carry the food. And very eager to move this bag of grain away.

Oh, how to move it?

The outside gate was locked, and he had to climb over the wall. How could he get over it with a bag of grain.

Li Wuchang shook his head helplessly, and whispered: "I'll come, you watch from the front, let's go out together."

As he spoke, he easily threw two bags of food on his shoulders, signaling the young man to run away together.

Seeing Li Wuchang carrying two bags of grain so easily, the young man was taken aback for a moment, but finally realized that the two of them were just thieves, so he hurriedly left the warehouse first.

After coming out, the young man carefully supported Li Wuchang again, for fear that he would fall.

The two came under the corner again, Li Wuchang used a little force, and threw all the food over the low wall, then grabbed the young man's hand, raised his breath, and the two jumped onto the thick wall.

The young man was completely stunned, Xin Dao was also a thief, but the younger brother in front of him was much stronger than himself, not to mention his strength, and he jumped very high.

Li Wuchang had no time to take care of the young man's thoughts, so he could see all directions by the moonlight.

What a rough scene.

The terrain of the owner's mansion is relatively high, and there is a large area of ​​flat land around it, the ground is hard, there is a farmland below, a mountain forest not far from the right, and a mountain on the left and in front, but they are far away.

"Where is your home? I'll take you back." After jumping off the fence with the young man, Li Wuchang asked the young man where he lived, and helped people to the end. With this thin young man, he would definitely not be able to carry a bag of grain home. .

The young man didn't know why Li Wuchang was so kind to him, but hearing Li Wuchang's tone was very gentle, he judged in his heart that Li Wuchang must be a good person, pointing to the mountain on the right, weakly said: "It's on the mountainside... Brother, what's your name, my name is... I'm Goushengzi."

Leftovers?
Nima, this name is too lofty.

Of course Li Wuchang knows that this is a nickname, and most people would choose a nickname, calling it cheap, because it is easy to support, but hearing the legendary name of Goushengzi, he still couldn't help laughing, Of course, he didn't show it on the surface, he just replied with a smile: "My name is Li Si... let's go, I'll take you back, it won't be good when someone finds out."

This young man lives on the mountainside on the right. It seems that he is the son of the farmer's family in Dingmao Bingzhuang. Help him. By the way, it is good to take advantage of the night to look at the terrain casually. Anyway, I can't sleep now.

The owner's mansion is not far from Goushengzi's home, less than three miles away. With Li Wuchang's skill, even if he carried two bags of grain, he could climb halfway up the mountain without much effort.

In front is Gou Shengzi's home.

Li Wuchang put the grain on the ground, smiled at Goushengzi, and said: "Okay, I'm going back, you ask your family to carry the grain in, I won't go to your house."

After that, he turned and prepared to leave.

"Brother Li, you... don't you want food?" Seeing that Li Wuchang had put down both bags, obviously giving them all to himself, Gou Shengzi couldn't help asking.

"I'll just steal another bag, but you are so skinny. If you go again in the future, you must be careful. Don't be caught by the new owner. It's not good to be beaten up. I've heard that. The owner who came here is a kid from a rich family in Chang'an City, so he must have a bad temper." Li Wuchang warned.

"I don't want to go either. My father told me to be a man with a backbone, but my family has no food. My father's legs and feet are inconvenient, and my mother is not in good health. The harvest season has not yet come, and this year's season is not good. The harvest is estimated It won't be very good, I haven't eaten for several meals, I only ate some wild vegetables." Gou Shengzi was a little embarrassed.

"Is it like this in Zhuangzi?" Li Wuchang frowned.

"Isn't Brother Li from the Zhuangzi?" Gou Shengzi asked back.

"Oh, I'm also from the Zhuangzi, but I usually go hunting in the mountains, and I don't deal with everyone very much." Li Wuchang concealed it casually.

Hearing the words, Gou Shengzi muttered first: "No wonder I haven't seen Brother Li, I've seen almost all the boys in the village."

Then I answered Li Wuchang's question: "This time of year is the most difficult time. Every family is about the same. If the adults in the family are not injured, they can go to Nanshan to hunt prey or something. Other families can only cook wild vegetable soup. Those eunuchs He is not a good person. He knows that there is no harvest in the village, and he brings thugs to ask us for money in different ways all day long. He only knows to bully us. The bandits will run away when they come, huh!... I hope the new owner of the village is a good person, I won't bully you guys."

Li Wuchang was emotional when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him: "Don't worry, it will be fine if you get over it, you go back and ask your father to help you carry the food, I will go back and steal a bag to go home."

After that, he left directly.

Listening to Gou Shengzi's complaints, Li Wuchang's heart became very complicated, and finally he felt a burst of sadness.

Grandma, bear, what happened recently, why did you become so sentimental?
This is not a good thing!

"Brother Li, be careful, thank you Brother Li today."

From behind came the voice of the dog leftover.

Li Wuchang did not leave. After turning a corner, he jumped onto a big tree and carefully stared at the place where the two broke up.

Not long after Gou Shengzi left, he brought a middle-aged man with a limp. It seemed that this was the legendary wounded soldier.

"You son of a bitch, where did you steal these things?" The middle-aged man was very angry, scolded Gou Shengzi loudly, and raised his hands to beat Gou Shengzi severely.

The dog leftover was very frightened, and tremblingly said: "Father, I see that there is no food at home, and my mother has also fallen ill, so... so I went to the owner's house and stole two bags of grain. You can beat me, but don't be angry." Broken body."

After hearing Gou Shengzi's words, the middle-aged man lowered his raised hand again, and said harshly, "How did I teach you? How could you do such a thing... What if you get caught? , that's not a joke, if it gets out, where do you want my old face to go?"

After a pause, he took a closer look at the two bags on the ground, and asked in doubt, "What's the matter, you, a kid, can carry such two big bags of grain?"

Gou Shengzi raised his hand and said: "It was a big brother named Li Si who helped me. He is also from the Zhuangzi. I heard from him that there was no food in his house, so I boldly went to the owner's house to steal food. The two of us I happened to meet him, and he helped me, and he carried these two bags of food back for me."

The middle-aged man murmured: "Li Si? There aren't many people with the surname Li in Zhuangzi. There is only one family at Xishankou. I remember that he doesn't have a son?"

Gou Shengzi continued: "He said that he often goes hunting in the mountains, so he rarely interacts with everyone. He is very strong."

The middle-aged man no longer studied it carefully, and said: "You are not allowed to do this kind of thing in the future, or I will break your legs, and you will have no bones at all. Forget about this trip, and return the food to the owner after harvesting. I don’t know what kind of person the new owner is.”

After a pause, he said, "Pick up the food and put it on my shoulders, let's go home."

Seeing that his father didn't care about it, Gou Shengzi was very happy. He quickly put two bags of grain on his father's shoulder with all his strength, and then went home with his father.

Li Wuchang saw the figures of the two disappear, jumped down from the tree, and gave a wry smile.

Nima, it seems that it is an extremely difficult job.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun arrived afterward, and they all followed quietly. Seeing Li Wuchang's worried face, they didn't speak, and they roughly understood what had happened.

From the pair of father and son, we can see the general situation of Zhuangzi.

Li Wuchang thought for a long time, and said: "Brother Xun, Ming Lun, get ready, let's start with this Zhuangzi, and do something real."

Seeing Li Wuchang's extremely serious expression, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun nodded in agreement.

To be honest, being able to do something down-to-earth is exactly what they want.

Zhao Xun said: "Currently, there are two urgent matters for Zhuangzi. One is the food problem. The grain has not yet reached the harvest season, and most of the farmers do not have grain. The other is the problem that exists in most places in Yongzhou. It is the banditry. Our Zhuangzi is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one of which is the Nanshan Mountain where bandits are swarming. Although Zhuangzi is poor and bandits will not invade on a large scale, small-scale bandit teams should often come to make trouble, and the village households live scattered. This problem can be solved. It's going to be tricky."

Jiang Minglun nodded in agreement.

If the bandits were gathered together, it wouldn't be such a trouble. Just find an opportunity to kill all the bandits in this area. In the current situation, it would indeed be a headache.

The enemy is dark and we are clear, the place is large, the terrain is complex, and it is easy to hide.

Li Wuchang said: "The two points mentioned by Brother Xun are indeed problems that need to be solved urgently, but I have to add two points, that is, trust and confidence. I want the farmers to trust me and believe that I will cover them. , so as to unite and build confidence in the future, believing that the days to come will only get better and better."

After a pause, he continued: "Starting tomorrow, you will take people down to understand the specific situation, and explain it to you. You must pay attention to your attitude. It is best to go to every household and bring some small gifts. I will also Make an unannounced visit, and after we understand the situation, we will discuss countermeasures together, and I will not appear publicly until I have a specific method.”
