Chapter 90

"Ms. Peony, we will go down the mountain with you to buy grain. You, a girl, cannot carry so much grain. We strong guys all have a lot of strength." The son of the village chief scratched his head. , with a simple and honest look, but his mind turned quickly.He said he was going to help carry the food, but he actually told Fang Xiao that the food here was not enough for them to eat for a long time.This plan was done really well, and he deserved to be the successor to the village chief.

"You are going to work without paying, and you want to take advantage of my granddaughter. It's not that cheap. All the money for buying food today will be credited to your heads. Then you will not lose money!" The man was stunned for a moment, and nodded Said: "No loss, no loss, we live here, but we haven't paid the rent yet. Ah Zhan, Ah Tie, Ah Niu, Xiao Wu, you four will go down the mountain with us to collect food." The son of the village chief Hurry up and dispatch people to prepare to go down the mountain.

"This big brother, what's your name?" Fang Xiao was not in a hurry. Today's breakfast was made by the women in the village. They also knew that there were a large group of children raised on the mountain, so the food came out so quickly.With the help of the women of the village, she too was freed from the kitchen.

The village chief's son was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet, so he quickly smiled and said, "Hey, look at my memory, my name is Tang Zhan, these are my brothers who grew up together, Li Tie, Zhao Niu, Zhang Zhan, Tang Wu. My girl is called Xiaoniu. Miss Peony..."

"Don't get close to my granddaughter. This is the money to buy grain. Take it down the mountain to buy grain." Doctor Liu came out of the house, holding a money bag in his hand, and stuffed it into Tang Zhan's hand.

Tang Zhan's dark face suddenly turned a little red.But those brothers of his had a rather unsightly expression on their faces.Tang Zhan quickly thanked Dr. Liu, and pulled his brother away from here.Doctor Liu saw them walking away, and gave Fang Xiao a wink, Fang Xiao followed Doctor Liu into the house.

Cai Lao was already sitting in the room, cleaning out his old tobacco pot.Seeing Fang Xiao coming in, he nodded, listened to the movement outside, and then lowered his voice and said, "Girl, those men are all practitioners. However, they are all superficial skills, but that Tang Zhan has good skills. You are no match for the old man's [-]% power. These people live here and don't know what they will do. In the past two days, you should be more careful with them and let them leave as soon as possible."

"Cai Lao, do you think they are sent by the National Teacher?" Dr. Liu asked suspiciously.

"No, judging by the way they walk, they don't seem to come from the National Teacher's Mansion, but rather from the army." Cai Lao said in a deep voice.

"Could it be a spy who came in from the barbarians?" Fang Xiao was startled and asked quickly.

"No." "No." This time it was Dr. Liu and Cai Lao who answered Fang Xiao in unison.Cai Lao said: "The barbarians are used to fighting immediately, and they don't take this kind of route. They can only be people from our military, maybe they are deserters."

"It's troublesome if they are deserters. They will definitely not leave here easily." Dr. Liu said with a frown.

"Hmph, feed them some of your medicine then, I can't leave them if I can't think about it." Cai Lao didn't really care that they were deserters. "If it is a spy sent by the capital, it will be troublesome."

"We are guessing here and there. Why don't we just ask them and tell them directly. We can see that they are from the army. Just ask them what they want." Fang Xiao didn't want to play guessing. Go to the game and make your own comments directly.The two old men glanced at each other, shook their heads, and said, "You are too young to know the dangers of the world. You should go down the mountain and go to the hospital quickly. Let me and your master worry about these things. Just be careful not to be The man's honest appearance has been deceived."

"Grandpa, what did your hometown say, am I so easy to deceive?"

The two old men nodded at the same time.Fang Xiao was speechless.After being knocked down the mountain by two old men, Fang Xiao had no choice but to rush to work first.No matter what kind of situation you will face in the future, only if you have a skill, can you have an extra skill to make money.At least not to starve to death in the future.Fang Xiao has been practicing for so long, and he is still struggling with food and clothing.She's messed up, and it's really miserable. There's no way, it's all because of the many children she brought in.

Fang Xiao's speed is still much faster than Tang Zhan and the others.She went down the mountain empty-handed, but those people were pushing a few small carts.So I didn't run into it on the road.When I went down the mountain, I saw a few people walking back with their heads down. Judging from their appearance, they should be villagers living nearby.Fang Xiao quickly grabbed an aunt and asked, "Auntie, have you finished shopping at the market? How come it's so early?"

"Hey, a notice was posted in the city today, saying that Beishan Village was occupied by barbarians. Now the city is under martial law, only going out, not entering. Young man, don't rush into the city, go home and let your family come Go hide on the mountain. Well, maybe one day, the barbarians will attack our village." The aunt left in a hurry after speaking.

"Auntie, which seat are you going to hide in?" Fang Xiao hurriedly asked behind the auntie.

The aunt pointed at the mountain behind Fang Xiao.Fang Xiao is really happy.In this way, another batch of refugees will be ushered in their village.What can be done.Fang Xiao quickly turned around and ran up the mountain. Just halfway up the mountain, she happened to meet Tang Zhan and the others who were pushing a cart down the mountain. She said to them: "Now the city is under martial law, only going out but not entering. You may not be able to enter." Otherwise, you go to the nearby villages to collect some grain. Anyway, they are going to hide in the mountains, and the grain will still be robbed by the barbarians, why don't you go and buy the grain first." Tang Zhan wrinkled Frowning, nodded, pointed at A Zhan and said, "A Zhan, go to the gate of the city to find out what's going on. A Niu, let's go to other villages to collect grain. Be quick and try not to let the barbarians Get the food and grass before us. If you don’t have enough money, give them an IOU. Be sure to bring the food back to the mountain.”

Several people split up and acted.Fang Xiao didn't care about them, he had already passed them and ran to the cottage.Tang Zhan looked at Fang Xiao's back and thought for a while, but the most important thing at the moment was the food issue.He didn't care about the many, and rushed towards the neighboring village.

When Fang Xiao returned to the stockade, Mr. Liu and Mr. Cai were sitting together discussing something. Seeing Fang Xiao rushing in, Cai honestly couldn't hold back, and a sudden millet knocked on Fang Xiao's head: "Female Every family with children is about to blow down a forest by walking, have you thought about how to marry a good family?"

When Fang Xiao heard this, she felt a little dazed, and shook her head quickly, but when she thought about it wrongly, she could always bring up the topic of getting married no matter where she walked.He quickly grabbed Cai Lao's hand that was about to knock again, and said, "The city is under martial law. I heard that the villagers in the nearby villages are planning to go into our mountains to hide from the barbarians. What should we do?"

"What?" Dr. Liu and Cai Lao said in unison, looked at each other, and frowned.

"Hurry up and find a way to bring Xiao Xin up the mountain."

"Isn't there no food to buy?"

The two old men said at the same time.Fang Xiao nodded and shook his head again, making the two old men a little awkward. Fang Xiao hurriedly said: "I'll go down the mountain right away, and find a way to sneak into the city to bring Xiao Xin back. Regarding the food, Tang Zhan and the others They have already gone to the homes of the villagers in the neighboring villages to buy them. They would rather pay the IOUs to buy the remaining grain from the villagers’ homes up the mountain, and they will definitely not make it cheaper for those savages.”

The two nodded after listening, Doctor Liu thought for a while and said: "Ah Xiao, there are only four of them, and they can only go to four villages if they go separately. Go to a village farther away and see if you can collect some more food and come back. If the villagers at the bottom of the mountain want to take refuge on the mountain, let them use food as food and lodging expenses, and don’t let them make the food cheaper for those barbarians. After you go to the villages to convey our intentions, then go to pick up Xiao Xin."

"There are two secret passages in my house, one leads to the backyard of the town hall, and the other leads to the Earth Temple outside the city. After you enter the Earth Temple, under the seat of the father-in-law of the land is the secret passage. Entrance." Cai Lao also hurriedly said.

After receiving the orders from the two elders, Fang Xiao turned around and ran down the mountain again.She remembered that the Earth Temple was two miles outside the Dongcheng Gate. Fang Xiao first ran to a small village outside the Dongcheng Gate, and saw Li Tie pushing a cart from a distance, knocking on the doors of other people's houses from house to house.Fang Xiao thought, he was the only one, and the publicity must be very slow, so he ran up, just as the family opened the door, and saw a young man he didn't know, pushing a cart to collect food.So he waved his hands vigorously, saying that his family didn't have much food, and he was about to go out with the food to seek refuge, and he would not sell the food.Fang Xiao stepped forward and stuck his foot in the courtyard door that the man was about to close. Seeing that it was an aunt who closed the door, he hurriedly said, "Auntie, if you have any extra food, sell it to us instead of giving it to those The barbarians who called. Besides, our family leader on the mountain said that if you want to hide in our stockade, you will use food as food and lodging expenses. As long as you hand in enough food, you will be allowed to hide in the stockade. You agree You can tell other people in the village that if the big guys want to take refuge in the mountains, they will use food to pay for board and lodging.”

"Are you from the Tiger Village?" The aunt nodded and said, "I will talk to the villagers. Everyone may not necessarily go to the Tiger Village, isn't there an empty Wild Wolf Village there? Maybe we will go Avoid in Wild Wolf Village."

"I live in Yelang Village, and Uncle Hu lives in Tiger Village. The policies of our two villages are the same. You can tell the big guy. The surplus, the food that cannot be taken away, will be sold to our people, and there will be more. If you get some money, you might be able to choose a good room to live in." Fang Xiao hurriedly said.

The aunt thought about it for the same reason, and said, "I'll talk to you guys."

"It's best to tell the village chief that if you go up the mountain late, you will suffer a lot if you run into a barbarian." Li Tie also said quickly, "I'm from the mountain village, and the people in our village live in the wild wolf village now. Here, all the food in our village has been robbed, and those barbarians are not polite to us villagers. You better move quickly."

Fang Xiao asked the whereabouts of Li Tie's four people again, picked a village where no one went, and was about to go there to convey the meaning of Dr. Liu and Cai Lao, so he hurried to pick Yang Xin home.
