It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 107

There are more than 50 cottages in Qingniu Mountain, including the old and the weak, women and children, there are about 5,000 bandits. Toad Village has tens of thousands of catties of grain, but it is a drop in the bucket, unable to support the more than 5,000 people.

Su Ying introduced Cheng Dalei into the backyard house, and when the stove was on fire, the house gradually warmed up. Cheng Dalei took off his robe and sat cross-legged on the kang.

"Why do you think of meddling with this business?" Su Ying.

"Every day there are people dying in front of you. If you can't see it, it's fine. If you see it, you can't pretend you can't see it."

Su Ying stared at Cheng Dalei's face for a while, filled the teacup in front of her, and said slowly, "There is no food you want in Ye Yecheng."

"No food?" Cheng Dalei opened his eyes wide.

"The drought is thousands of miles away. Not only does Ye Yecheng have no food, but the entire Youzhou City does not have the food you want. And now the price of food has skyrocketed, you can't afford it even if you have money."

"Can I grab it?"

"Grab 100,000 to 200,000 catties of grain?"

"It's not realistic."

"Ha ha."

"Is it really impossible?" Cheng Dalei.

"But it's not that there is no way, it's just that ordinary people can't do it."

"Actually, apart from being a little more handsome, I am quite ordinary."

"..." Su Ying.

...

"The only things you can exchange for food in your cottage are those peppers. Fallen Leaves City is just a small place in Youzhou, and Youzhou is also a small place in the empire. The entire empire is poor in the east and expensive in the west, rich in the south and cheap in the north. If you want to exchange food, you can Going to the south." Su Ying dipped her hand in the tea, drew a line on the table, and finally stopped at one point and wrote two words: Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is cooked, and the world is full. From ancient times to the present, Yangzhou has been the granary of the world.

"How far is it from here to Yangzhou?"

"Through Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, you can always walk in three or five months."

Cheng Dalei looked at Su Ying speechlessly, and said with a clear expression: "Aren't you talking nonsense? When I come back, everyone will almost starve to death."

"It takes so long to travel by land. Fallen Leaves City is close to the sea, so you can walk by water. It takes five days to get there with a good wind, and it takes about half a month to go back and forth."

"Fifteen days?" Cheng Dalei thought for a while: "It seems that there is only one way left."

"This is when everything is going well, but the sea is turbulent and changing rapidly. Pirates, river bandits, and local tyrants, if one is not good, there is no return. There were many people who took this road, but it was a near-death experience."

Cheng Dalei stood up straight and grabbed the robe on the kang: "Then it's settled, you help me prepare a big boat, I'll use it tonight."

When I walked out of the door, the cooks in the courtyard were all there. In winter, the business of Hu Di Lao was deserted. Generally speaking, they have been very busy recently.

"Master, I'm leaving now, don't you stay for a while?"

"Go, go, can't rest."

Cheng Dalei left the Fallen Leaf City and quickly returned to Toad Village.

"Master, what are you doing, it's such a cold day?"

Toad Village and Harmony, because the weather is too cold, they don't even have daily training. The scattered people on the school grounds all came out to digest their food when they were full.

"Get busy, brothers, you have to work."

...

After Gao Feihu was injured, he has been in bed to recover from his injuries, and he has recently improved. But he didn't want to go out of the house. The key was that he didn't know what to do when someone asked him for food.

Feihu Village is the largest force in Qingniu Mountain, but there are many people who eat a lot of food every day. Thanks to the hundreds of catties of grain that I exchanged from Toad Village, I lasted a few days.

But until today, Feihu Village will soon run out of food. How can I get through this long winter?

Every meal time, there are countless pairs of eyes looking in the direction of Toad Village, drooling at the smoke rising from there.

"Toad Village has tens of thousands of catties of grain."

"People don't have to go hungry, I wish I could live in Toad Village."

Gao Feihu could always hear some of these voices, but there was nothing he could do. If possible, he would also like to join the Toad Village.

"Master, I have an idea..." Yu Qiuran walked into the room and said.

"Master, you have an idea!" Gao Feihu's eyes lit up: "Do you have a way to get food?"

"No."

"What's the idea then?"

"I sent a few quick-handed brothers to sneak into the Toad Village while it was dark."

"Steal some food?" Gao Feihu's eyes lit up again.

"No, stealing is probably enough. We set fire to the granary of Toad Village, and then everyone will die together, and then let them go wild."

Gao Feihu looked at Yu Qiuran for a long time: "Master, you are cruel enough."

"Liang Xiaofei is a gentleman who is not poisonous and not a husband. Why should everyone starve to death and live in Toad Village?"

"Burning people's granaries, such an immoral thing, will kill off the descendants..."

"good news"

"good news"

At this time, the sound of the gong came from the foot of the mountain. As soon as the sound reached his ear, Gao Feihu felt a pain in his head.

I haven't heard this voice for a long time. Why did it sound again? What the hell is Cheng Dalei doing?

"Damn, I'll go and see for myself. If he wants to be a ghost again, he will burn his granary."

Gao Feihu was furious and rushed to Toad Village with Yu Qiuran in person. When he arrived, he found that too many people had gathered under Toad Ridge. The leaders of all the villages and villages have arrived. It seems that everyone has not enough to eat these days, and everyone has enough time to spare.

"Gao Zhaizhu is here, Gao Zhaizhu..."

Gao Feihu walked over and said, "What the hell is the Toad Village doing this time?"

"We just arrived, and we haven't figured out what happened yet, and we probably came up with some bad idea."

"Master Gao Zhai, let's discuss it. Let's join forces and lay down the Toad Village."

At this time, the gate of Toad Village opened, and everyone looked over, only to see Gao Feibao and Little White Wolf who came out first.

"Brother, Cheng Dalei didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"He dares! I'm fat without seeing me. Brother, you are thin."

More than a dozen people were all white and fat. Gao Feihu watched this scene, and he was worried about him in vain. Judging from his appearance, he should have been caught in the first place.

Cheng Dalei only came out at this time and waved at the people at the foot of the mountain.

"Everyone, everyone..."

"Cheng Dalei, what are you doing, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?"

"Everyone, let me tell you some good news. Starting today, Toad Village will start putting porridge."

The leaders at the foot of the mountain were still chattering and talking. Suddenly, all the voices were quiet, and everyone came back to their senses. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were looking at Cheng Dalei.

"Did I hear it wrong?"

"He's telling the truth, shouldn't he play us?"

"Is he so boring?"

"Have."

"Cheng Dalei, what are you doing and why are you doing this?" Gao Feihu stared at Cheng Dalei.

"Why?" Cheng Dalei touched his nose and said very seriously: "Because I am a good person."
