Chapter 216 A Bad Premonition
It was the first time for Shen Jiayan to see Dazui and Huzi, and judging by their faces, they were not treacherous.

Seeing that they were uncomfortable and didn't dare to look at themselves, they didn't speak, just nodded, and leaned against the carriage, closed their eyes and got up.

Dazui and the others saw that Shen Jiayan closed his eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief visibly.

Look at Mu Tianze again, he opened his mouth to speak, but Mu Tianze put his finger in front of his mouth, signaling them not to speak.

The four with big mouths looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and even their breathing restrained a little.

They didn't speak, the carriage swayed like a cart, making people drowsy.

Not long after, except for Mu Tianze and Dazui, they all leaned against each other and took a nap.

When we arrived at Sifang Town, it was already mid-afternoon. At this time in the past, there was no one to be seen except the residents of the town.

Today is the peak season for buying mountain goods. At this time, there are still people from nearby villages on the street. Some of them rushed to the town after a long distance, and some of them have sold out the mountain goods and plan to buy some things they need at home. home's.

So it was quite lively.

The commotion woke up Da Zui and Hu Zi and the brothers, they all rubbed their eyes and opened the curtain to look outside.

Even Mu Tianze and Shen Jiayan, who had been resting with eyes closed and not falling asleep, looked outside through the curtain.

The goals of the two were very consistent, because they had to pass through the street where the mountain goods store was collected, and saw several familiar idlers along the way, but Shi Qi was not seen.

Mu Tianze breathed a sigh of relief first, he didn't think too much about it.

On the contrary, Shen Jiayan felt that something was wrong. At this time in the past, shouldn't Shi Qi be guarding next to the Shanhuo shop?
What's more, the position that Shi Qi had been staying before was replaced by a big man with a sturdy build, who was yelling at several other idle men, and it seemed that he was a man in charge.

What about Shi Qi?

Shen Jiayan's heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.

After going back and settling down, it would be best to let Da Zhuang or Da Zui go to the town to inquire about the situation.

He kept on driving, and finally arrived at the town. The coachman stopped the carriage and asked Shen Jiayan for advice. He thought of buying some hot water from the tea stand, and feeding the mules and horses with some water, otherwise they would be afraid of the mules and horses. Can't bear it.

Shen Jiayan agreed, looked at Dazui and the others, motioned for Mu Tianze to come over, and whispered a few words.

Mu Tianze's expression froze, he turned his head and ordered Dazui to take Huzi and the two of them down, buy some hot water, and then go to the steamed stuffed bun shop next to him, buy a few baskets of vegetarian steamed stuffed buns, let everyone fill their stomachs, and inquire about it by the way Let's see if there are any news stories about the mountain goods shop in this town recently.

When Dazui and Huzi heard that this was their forte, they took a handful of copper coins from Mu Tianze and got out of the carriage in a hurry.

The coachman over there sat down by the tea stall, ordered a pot of hot tea, took out two hardened steamed buns from his pocket, gnawed them with hot water, and asked the owner of the tea stall to feed his mules and horses. Some dry feed, then feed a bucket of water.

The owner of the tea stand agreed, and while serving hot water for people, he asked the children of the family to come out to feed the mules and horses.

Dazui and Huzi divided the work, one went to buy hot buns, and the other followed the driver to order a pot of hot tea.

The owner of the tea stall saw that they got off a carriage, so he couldn't help asking a few questions. They didn't look like people from the town, were they here to visit relatives and friends, or to buy mountain goods? ?

Because in previous years, many people from the county town took the opportunity of visiting relatives and friends to come to the town to buy some cheap mountain products, so the owner of the tea stall also regarded them as such.

The coachman was going to answer truthfully, but Dazui took the lead and said that they came to seek refuge with their relatives.

The coachman looked very winkingly, hearing what Da Zui said, and then thinking that this guest came from the county government, he shut up and acquiesced.

Over there, Dazui took advantage of the opportunity to inquire with the owner of the tea stall, asking about the local customs, what special products are there, and while talking, he talked about the idlers at the door of the mountain goods shop.

Da Zui is not very old, he is very good at business, and he speaks nicely. In addition, the tiger bought plain steamed buns. The two sat at the tea stall and watched the tea stall owner's son come over after feeding the horse. Seeing them swallowing their saliva while eating the buns, he generously stuffed two vegetarian buns for the tea stall owner's son.

The owner's son didn't dare to pick it up, so he was stuffed into his hands by the big mouth. He only said that he was a newcomer and didn't know the rules of this place.
The owner of the tea stand was happy and nodded, so his son dared to take the steamed stuffed bun, but he was reluctant to eat it. He took it to the back room and said that he wanted to share it with his younger brothers and sisters.

Now another group of guests came, and the tea stall owner went to greet them again.

When the son of the tea stall owner came out, he was pulled by Dazui and sat beside him, and he was given a bun to sit and eat.

The son of the tea stall owner took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, looked at Da Zui and Hu Zi as if he were his own brother, reciprocated, heard that Da Zui and the others were interested in the idler at the door of the mountain shop, and before asking, he told what he knew The beans were poured out of the bamboo tube, and they were shaken off cleanly.

Although the coachman didn't know what Dazui and the others were doing asking about this, he was also very sensible. After eating the dry food, he drank a few more sips of water, got his belly full, and went to look after his mules and horses.

When Dazui and the others were full, they went to buy a few baskets of steamed stuffed buns and loaded them into the carriage. The coachman whipped his whip and drove out of town.

After getting into the car, Dazui and the others first handed the buns and the remaining copper coins to Mu Tianze.

Mu Tianze first picked out a basket and gave it to Shen Jiayan, then took another one for himself, and gave the rest to the other two little beggars, one named Tiedan and the other named Gousheng. The two had a meal in the morning. He was picked up by the carriage in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to prepare dry food.

Most of the day had passed, and I was already so hungry that my chest was on my back, and I buried my head in gnawing on the buns.

Only then did Da Zui slowly arrive at the news he inquired from the son of the tea stall owner.

That's all for other things, mainly the Shanhuo shop, but a strange thing happened.

I heard that among the gangsters in the Shanhuo shop, there is a leader named Shi Qi, who is very valued by the owner behind the Shanhuo shop. It is almost autumn when the Shanhuo shop starts, and the shop here is handed over to Shi Qi.

It is said that the owner only sits in the county seat, and it is enough to come over occasionally to have a look.

Shi Qi was in charge of the Shanhuo shop, and he was barely considered a figure in the town, but he didn't take much money after gaining power, and he was still the same as before.

For some reason, the owner of the mountain shop the day before yesterday angrily brought a few people back to the town in a carriage, only ran towards Shi Qi, and once they met each other, he asked the people around him to take Shi Qi down.
