Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 84 084 Send someone to search
Of course the Xu family caravan didn't think so.

When sending people out, they thought that they could bring a large number of servants to help them, so that they could get enough protection for the next journey, and they could get rid of the fleeing team with a bad temper.

But now the result is completely different from what they thought. It's fine if the extra manpower has not been recruited, and the original carload of cloth and five people have all been recruited.

It's really meat buns beating dogs, or, stealing chickens is not enough to lose money.

Xu Gui panicked, the old housekeeper was a loyal servant for many years, and he would never betray, even if something happened.

What can happen?
Those servants were carefully selected, they were old people in the family, they would not betray, even if they betrayed, they would not betray all of them, and they would never be in the state where there is no such news.

I'm afraid it's a problem with the Wang family's earthen castle.

Both Yang Erlang and Ji Xiucai talked about the problem of the royal castle, alas...

It was too late to say anything at this time, I could only think about what to do next.

But what can I do?

Xu Gui thought for a long time, knowing that the matter was urgent and serious, but he racked his brains and couldn't think of a solution.

At this time, he began to think of the good old housekeeper.

When he encountered this kind of predicament before, the old housekeeper always pointed out the direction of thinking for him, analyzed the current situation with him, and finally gave him ideas to solve the problem.

Now, the steward next to me can do things and talk normally, but when it comes to this kind of time, he shuts his mouth and shrinks back, which is useless at all!
Xu Gui was very irritable. At this moment, there was a sound of notification from outside.
"Boss, Mr. Yang and Miss Mu are here."

Xu Gui's footsteps faltered, he didn't want to see these two people at this time, but he also knew that it would be impossible to see them at this time,
"Invite them in."

Xu Gui's face returned to the previous friendliness and kindness, but under the tone of irritability and weakness, it looked a little fake.

"Why are you here? Come sit down and talk.

Xiao Li, hurry up and make a pot of good tea! "

Mu Yu and Yang Erlang didn't care about this, sat down at the table, and said straight to the point,

"Xu Shaodong's family, we are here to discuss with you about the Wang family's earthen castle and the journey."

Xu Gui's expression froze, and he said embarrassingly,
"Ah, this matter, this matter..."

Muyu said,

"We heard that the people sent by Xu Shaodong's family have not returned yet. I don't know what Xu Shaodong's family thinks? What are they going to do?"

Xu Gui didn't want to answer this question, but Mu Yu had already stated the question directly, so he couldn't avoid it, so he had to say embarrassingly,
"They, they may have stumbled on the road, they may not have found our camp.

Wait another day, and one day they will be able to find it. "

Mu Yu frowned, he didn't expect that at this time, the matter was so clear, Xu Gui could continue to deceive himself and others like this.

How about waiting another day?
People who can't come back still can't come back. Will they have to wait another day, another day, or wait like this forever?
Yang Erlang disagreed with Xu Gui's statement, he shook his head,
"We have already rested here for a day, and there is no need to rest for another day, it will delay our journey.

Moreover, it is too dangerous to continue to stay here, and it is too close to the royal castle. "

This time, no one said that the Wang Family Tubao was a local family, or that they had maliciously speculated.

Xu Gui didn't speak, he didn't refute Yang Erlang's words, nor did he fully agree with them.

At this time, Mu Yu took the initiative to act as an existence to adjust the atmosphere,

"Xu Shaodong's family, we know you can't let go of the old butler and the others, so I have an idea."

"What's the idea?"

"We have to hurry, but we can't just leave people behind, at least we need to know what's wrong with them, right?
We can send a few more people out to find the old housekeeper and the others..."

"That's good, let's do it."

Mu Yu and Xu Gui talked a few words, they discussed the details and settled the matter.

There were two people on each side, a total of four people, and they were given an ox cart and food for a few days, and asked them to search for the old housekeeper and the others near the royal castle.

It's best to find someone to bring him back. If not, you have to find out some relevant information. If you really don't get anything, you have to return within two days.

If it succeeds, there will naturally be rewards.

Xu Gui recognized this method very much, and was about to do it right away, so Mu Yu went with him, and Yang Erlang went to arrange the departure tomorrow.

Xu Gui quickly vacated an ox cart, prepared food and water, and found a candidate.

Mu Yu also speeded up and found two people, one is Song Gao, who is cautious and smart, and the other is a man who needs to support his family, he looks strong and powerful.

Xu Gui said that if you do a good job, you will be rewarded a lot, and everyone cheered up for a while, wishing to set off to find someone right now.

Seeing that things went well, Mu Yu felt a lot more relaxed, and she left after telling Song Gao to be careful.

……

The next day, the fleeing team continued to set off, and the search group of four also set off in the direction of the Wang Family Castle.

Song Gao obeyed Mu Yu's instructions all the way, and walked carefully, walking very slowly.

A person on the other side of the caravan scolded him for not wanting to contribute, and just wanted to spend time to go back. The people on his side also had some opinions, because if he didn't do something, he wouldn't be rewarded.

Song Gao had to speed up a little, and not long after, they found someone in the roadside ditch.

The others jumped out of the car excitedly to check, and came back disappointed after a while.

It turned out that they were two half-dead refugees from starvation, not from the Xu family they were looking for.

At this moment, Song Gao got out of the car and went to check. The two refugees were so hungry that they looked like they were still breathing. They were so dirty and thin that they could hardly be seen as human.

Song Gao was a little disappointed, he still thought about taking him back if he could be saved.

As someone who has accepted several refugees into the team, he clearly knows that Mu Yu hopes to have more people join them, although he doesn't quite understand why, one more person means one more mouth to eat, how can he afford so many What about people?
However, since this is Mu Yu's idea, he should just do it.

Anyway, if you don't want it anymore, just drive it away.

He withdrew his hand from playing with the two people, and was about to leave when one of them raised his hand and grabbed him.

When he turned his head, he saw one of them staring straight at him with his eyes open, his eyes filled with prayers, his mouth opened and closed, but he was speechless.

Looks like it's still alive.

He thought about it, and said something to the man,
"Will you come with me?"

The man's eyes lit up again, and he nodded with difficulty.

Song Gao picked up the man and went back to the cart.

This person is not as heavy as the big yellow dog he raised when he was a child, and he began to feel that this person would not survive, which is probably a flashback.

The man from the caravan who was against him before started to say something again, it stinks, takes up space, eats nothing, and doesn't do business...

Song Gao ignored him and continued to direct the other two to move forward carefully to find clues.

Soon the man shut up.

They found a clue.
