Chapter 293
As expected, the facts were not far from Nuan Nuan's guess.

Hei Lao San directed the two tigers to a small village very close to the water, which should be regarded as a fishing village and farming.

This village is not as big as Nanhe Village, and the population is not large. It may be because of the different living environment. The people here, regardless of children or adults, have red faces. This may be directly related to the water and soil here.

The situation in the village is not optimistic, and the faces of the people you see after entering the village are all sad. Many old people who are old and unable to walk are sitting on the big rock in front of their house with dull expressions, staring into the distance in a daze.

Huang Xiu in the car was even more worried when she saw the situation outside, she whispered to Wen Nuan, "Brother Wen, why are those people outside so lifeless?"

Before Wen Nuan could speak, the youngest black boy in front of the carriage spoke, and this was obviously meant for Wen Nuan, who seemed to be the master among the three of them.

"Our place wasn't like this in the first place. It's because of insect plagues and other incidents. If I, the black three, hadn't been forced to corner, I wouldn't have offended you guys."

Nuannuan didn't answer, but was just thinking about what he saw along the way.

Compared with Lushui Town on the other side of Zijin Mountain, although it is not far away here, it is really a completely different scene. The grass on both sides of the road is mottled into pieces, and the crops in the field are only left In the part half a foot away from the soil surface, the ears of wheat that hadn’t turned yellow had disappeared, and even the leaves were as bleak as winter, leaving only bare brown branches.

And on the only remaining plants, you can still see many locusts that are wriggling, fully mature and mostly yellow.

Obviously, the disaster is already serious, even if there are countermeasures, this year will be a year of no harvest.

Hearing Hei San's words, Huang Xiu didn't dare to speak again, she was still a little afraid of the leader of the robbery, so she sat honestly beside Nuannuan.

At the nearest place by the river in the village, Hei San stopped the carriage, apparently already arrived at the place, Nuan Nuan was not polite, directly opened the curtain of the car and jumped out of the car, but turned around and told Huang Xiu and Er Hu, "You wait outside first. , you don’t need to go in if the master speaks.”

Huang Xiu knew that Miss Nuan didn't want them to follow her into danger, but...would they be more worried if they waited outside.

She just wanted to talk, Wen Nuan had already walked into the big yard with a row of boats tied by the wall, without giving Huang Xiu and the others a chance to protest.

Erhu, who was able to go out with Nuannuan, was naturally clever. He directly signaled Huang Xiu to return to the carriage. He knew that when the situation was unclear, it would be the greatest help for the two of them not to cause trouble for the owner. There is a boss who is in charge, and it must be right.

Nuan Nuan carefully looked at this not-so-large yard. It was very quiet at this time, and there was no difference, except that there were more fishing tools, and there were a lot of sundries such as carts.

Most of the house and courtyard walls are made of yellow mud, with a large door. The house does not look like the owner's place, but it really has a bit of a gang atmosphere.

Hei Lao San turned around and stretched out his hand towards the main room to greet Wen Nuan, "Little doctor, please sit inside first, and I will go to greet my eldest brother and second brother!"

Is this the big head and the second head?
Wen Nuan nodded slightly, and walked into the room without hesitation, but only sat not far from the door, giving up the seat inside.

When he was not very old, a group of people came in from outside the yard, and the third black boy followed behind with his head drooping. The two people walking in front were both wearing vests with arms exposed, and cloth scarves wrapped around their heads.

Walking into the main room and seeing Wen Nuan who had already got up, he cupped his hands and apologized when he came up, "Sir, I'm sorry, my three brothers are so heartless and did such a wrong thing, please don't argue with him, I will compensate you on his behalf .”

Wen Nuan also bowed his hands politely, without saying a word, the other man also joined hands with the previous man, "Sir, the three of us are sworn brothers, this is my eldest brother Du Xing, next is my second son Sun Zhao, the third son of my family After doing this, I disturbed my husband, and our two brothers asked him to kowtow to you and apologize."

When the elder brother and the second brother were outside, they heard the black third brother who couldn’t lie tell the story back and forth, and he had already cleaned him up. Now that he heard the second brother say this, the third black obediently responded Feeling the warmth, he straightened up and prepared to kneel down.

You can't really bear the warmth, who knows if this is someone else's temptation.

He stretched out his hand to stop him, "It's all right, it's not a big deal. Hei Lao San said that he wanted me to help him check the insect infestation in the village, don't you know?"

What Nuan means is to ask someone to come out and explain clearly, don't be like the black three, just ask three questions and don't know.

And in this first impression, the eldest brother Du Xing should be a red-faced guy who is more upright than You, but the second brother Sun Zhao is a master with enough mouth and brain.

A few words can tell a person's general character, which is also the experience accumulated by countless readers in Nuan's previous life.

Du Xing invited Nuannuan to take the seat, but Nuannuan did not refuse. Hei Lao San believed that he was a doctor. In this era, doctors and teachers are highly respected, so it is not too much to sit on the main seat.

Most of the people who followed were dressed like Du Xing, and they were all wearing white waistcoats that were convenient for work. Many layers of cloth were sewn on the shoulders, which should be a sign that trackers would have.

Du Xing sat down and yelled at Hei Lao San who was still standing stupidly in the middle, "You still haven't handed over the sir's money to me."

Hei Sankuhaha, with his aggrieved face, sent the money he had snatched from Nuan Nuan and the others to the table in front of the head. Still standing there.

"Sir, I was the one who neglected to discipline my younger brother. He...is not bad in nature. Please forgive him once."

Nuannuan didn't take the money, but looked at Hei San who was sitting next to Sun Zhao and asked, "What are you going to use the money for?"

When Hei San was called, he suddenly raised his head, but his face was full of guilt and anxiety. After Du Xing glared at him, he lowered his head like an angry daughter-in-law, and replied in a low voice, "I want to send it to a few families in the village who have run out of food."

Not for his own squandering, but for the people trapped in life in the village, Wen Nuan took a high look at Hei San, and at the same time got rid of the grudges in his heart.

"Brother Duchene, what's the situation here now? Can you tell me?"

Before Du Xing could speak, he sighed, "Little Mister, you also saw it on the way here. Everything is gone, and all the crops have been ruined by those beasts. To be honest, you can tell me that there are indeed a few in the village. Those who are not rich at all have already started digging grass roots to feed themselves."
