Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Chapter 21 Encountered a food thief
"Is there anything else to buy? If you don't want to buy, go out and don't get stuck here..." In the spacious lobby of the grain store, there were many people watching, but few people were willing to buy. The clerk impatiently began to chase people out.

At this time, the grain store is most in need of customers, so there is no need to show off at all.

However, few people left, they were still there with their arms stretched out, not knowing what they were waiting for.

The waiter sneered, walked over, and said with contempt to the man squatting on the ground who was still crying, "You have time to cry here, why not go home and pack up quickly and go beg for food, the food is only at this price." , it is possible to double several times a day. Who said there is a drought now? Is it cheap for our shop to collect grain everywhere? It was also bought at a high price, and it is still available in the shop. Even if it is burned with high incense, you still think it is expensive? Bah! In two days, you may not be able to buy it even if you have gold and silver..."

The last sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

Yes, if the drought does not ease and there is no hope of harvest in the second half of the year, then no matter how much money there is, there will be no place to buy grain. By then, we will have no choice but to wait for death.

After recognizing the reality, even though they were bleeding from heartache, many people started to take out money from their pockets to buy food with trembling hands. However, they didn’t ask for much. Ten pounds of this, twenty of that, no one dared to really spend all of it. With everything on the line, everyone is still holding on to a little luck. Perhaps, the court will provide disaster relief later, and then food prices will come down...

Xu Huaiyi felt compassion in his heart, but his face was calm and almost indifferent. What could he do if he couldn't bear it anymore?He has no abilities now, and he is still at the bottom, so how can he manage others?

Even if he stood up at this moment and tried his best to persuade everyone not to wait any longer, buy food as soon as they had money, and leave as soon as possible to escape famine, no one would listen to him.

Therefore, he could only watch helplessly.

The grain store was busy, and everyone bought almost the cheapest beans and millet. No one cared about the sixty-cent pound of wheat.

Xu Suiji waited in line numbly. When it was his turn, the grain shop clerk saw that he was wearing a patchwork jacket, and his eyes became even more contemptuous and impatient, "How much do you want? Just don't open your mouth for two or three kilograms. It's not troublesome..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a voice, "One hundred catties each of beans and sorghum!"

The expression on the guy's face suddenly froze.

Before it was over, Xu Huaiyi said calmly, "Fifty catties of wheat, are there any millet and adzuki beans? If yes, ten catties each. If there are mung beans, ten catties too."

The lobby was quiet for a moment.

Then there were whispers among each other, and all kinds of eyes fell on Xu Huaiyi, as if they were wondering what his identity was, and he was able to buy so much food with "rich money".

Xu Huaiyi didn't want to slap the little guy in the face so innocently, but the look in his eyes was so disgusting, and he had planned to buy so much, so, well, it wasn't that he wanted to cause trouble, it was just that he couldn't hide. past.

The clerk at the grain store was a little embarrassed and angry, but when he saw Xu Huaiyi's calm eyes, he was wary and did not dare to get angry. He honestly collected and bagged all the grain for him.

Xu Huaiyi stared with interest at the rice bucket used to weigh grain in ancient times.

The boy thought he was afraid that he would be short of food, so with a shake of his hand, the food in the rice bucket suddenly appeared.

Xu Huaiyi, "..."

And what about this advantage?
The total of several types of grains totaled nearly 14 catties, which cost him [-] taels of silver. In previous years, with this much silver, he could buy more than [-] catties, but now...

Xu Huaiyi led the mule and left with several bags of grain.

Along the most prosperous road in the county, I successively bought some linen, pots and pans, a small stove that can be used in the car, and also went to the blacksmith shop to buy a machete.

There are things for self-defense in the RV, but they are not easy to take out directly, so you still have to prepare a few self-defense things that can scare bad guys. A machete is very good. It is more than 30 centimeters long, has an edge, and can chop down trees. , it could also cut people, it was heavy in his hand, and it cost him nearly five taels of silver.

After finishing the shopping, Xu Huaiyi was so hungry that he bought a few steamed buns from the roadside and ate them while driving the car to go home. When he left the county gate, he found someone staring at the food in the car.

That look was filled with evil intentions.

Xu Huaiyi pretended not to know on the surface, but his vigilance level was already full in his heart.

Is this going to cause chaos?
If you can’t afford food, do you have to rob it openly?
It's still a clear day... Xu Huaiyi wanted to scold his mother, but he was not afraid. His years in the army were not in vain. With his skills, he could beat four or five strong men without any problem, not to mention, his hands There are weapons inside.

As we get further and further away from the city gate, there are fewer and fewer people on the road.

Xu Huaiyi took out the machete and wiped it slowly with a piece of linen cloth. The bright blade was so bright that people could not open their eyes under the scorching sun.

The few people who were following him in secret couldn't help but pause in their footsteps.

"I'm afraid this is going to be a tough fight..." Some people wanted to back out. Food was rare, but it wasn't worth risking their lives to grab it.

But some people are not willing to give in, "What about the hard fight? How can we brothers not be able to defeat him?"

"But he has a knife in his hand..."

"We still have sticks in our hands."

"But……"

"Okay, stop being such a bastard. You have to do this business even if you don't. Think about how much food you still have at home? If you don't rob it, what will your wife, children, and children eat? You have money. Go buy it? In this world, if you are not ruthless, then just wait for death."

The man finally fell silent.

If he robbed, he might die, but if he didn't rob, he would definitely die. Therefore, he had no choice at all.

When the mule cart slowly reached a small forest, it was stopped by someone.

Xu Huaiyi looked at the four people intercepting in front of him. They were all wearing patched shorts and had a piece of cloth covering their faces, revealing only a pair of fierce and greedy eyes.

"Is there something wrong with the car you stopped?"

Among the four, the strongest one came out, pointed to the food in the car, and said without mincing words, "Leave the food, we only want food, not human lives."

If I were a timid person, I would probably do it obediently.

But Xu Huaiyi will definitely not tolerate them. "My family is also waiting for food to save their lives, so I'm sorry to have to obey. You should think of other ways to ask for food."

The other party sneered, "Are you sure you don't want to give it? Then don't blame us for being rude..."

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "If you have the ability, just do it."

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine. Brothers, come on..."

The leader shouted, and rushed towards Xu Huaiyi with a stick as thick as his arm. If the stick fell on his head, he would have to open it on the spot.

Xu Huaiyi turned aside and dodged nimbly. He immediately swung the machete and landed on the opponent's arm without hesitation. At this time, the last thing he needed was to be soft-hearted.

"Ah..." There was a scream, and blood flowed like water, shocking the other three people who rushed over.

This is not only a tough guy, but also a ruthless character.

Especially Xu Huaiyi standing there with a machete in his hand, his eyes sharp and cold, like a ruthless machine that harvests human lives. How can this scene not make people frightened?

The three people hesitated for a moment with pale faces, then picked up the still bleeding man and ran away in a panic.
