BXBX NOVEL Chapter 213: hearsay
The villagers in Fangshan Village are fierce and aggressive, and they have a bandit spirit. The officials have a bad impression of the villagers and advise them not to stay overnight.
Even if you stay overnight, don\'t expose yourself, especially don\'t show that you are rich. Although the villagers are not brave enough to seek wealth and kill, but stealing property or talking to a lion, those people will definitely do it.
After the boat passengers heard about it, a group of people touched their pockets. At that time, they were running for their lives and had no money on them. They were afraid that if they went, they would bring shame on themselves and be kicked out.
According to the description of the yamen servants, the villagers are idiots, and they have been suing the government all the year round. The yamen servants said that there are people who drown in the river every year.
"Even Longtan and Tiger\'s Den, we have to go, there is no choice."
Li Haitang looked at Zhang Ruyi, who was burnt out, shook her head and sighed, she was not familiar with the road conditions, and she couldn\'t find any herbs around, so she had to go to the village to ask a barefoot doctor for a pair of medicines, if she dragged on, she would die.
Finally, several people discussed, Ji Qiu carried Zhang Ruyi on his back, and several people ran towards Fangshan Village in the direction pointed out by the yamen servant.
Walking on the road, I met villagers from Fangshan Village driving an ox cart. The ox cart had a roof made of broken linoleum, and wooden barrels were placed underneath, revealing a small piece of white.
"Brother, stop!"
When Li Haitang saw the bullock cart, she trotted for two or three kilometers, gradually exhausted, but she really couldn\'t burden her husband Xiao Lingchuan. When she was sad, she fell asleep and had a pillow. Seeing the bullock cart, she Shouted with excitement.
The driver was a man in his thirties, his arms were as thick as her calves, and his muscles were well developed. Looking at Kong Wu\'s strength, he didn\'t look simple and honest in his bulk, and his eyes revealed shrewdness.
While the group was looking at him, the big man was also looking at everyone, he said slowly, "What do you want me to do?"
"Brother, my sister has a fever and is in a coma. Our group is going to Fangshan Village ahead. Can you take us in a bullock cart?"
Of course, the shelf in front is too small to hold too many people, so let Zhang Ruyi pass first, and Li Haitang can hold on for a while if he doesn\'t hurry.
"No, I want to sell steamed buns at the front!"
The big man refused. The steamed buns on the car were made by the villagers. He had to go and return quickly before the rain was too heavy. There were also warm tofu nao. Those boat passengers were hungry and cold, so they must be able to sell for a good price.
Send these people to the village before they come out. Not to mention that the steamed buns are cold and affect the taste, it will waste time. The people from the yamen come to give out porridge. money\'s?
After all, it was all about money, and Li Haitang was not short of money, but when she remembered what the yamen servant said, she looked embarrassed and hesitated, "Brother, how about we buy all the steamed buns, and you just go back to the village after you finish the task. , How about taking my sister back first?"
The man hesitated, but still shook his head. It seemed that he was a bit of a bully. Besides, how long would the six people have to eat the two big buckets of steamed buns? He thinks it is more practical to sell by the river.
"When you get to the river, the steamed buns may not be sold."
Xiao Lingchuan squeezed his wife\'s hand, and flickered without changing his expression, "We were in the porridge shed just now, and saw people from the yamen steaming steamed buns. It should be out of the pot by now, and everyone will give two."
The implication is that the yamen gives steamed buns without money, and also gives hot porridge, even a man in his prime can eat half full, so there is no need to spend money to buy it from the big guy.
"Since when did the Yamen become so generous?"
The big man muttered, seeing that the faces of the people did not change, he believed it a little more, this time the official ship was hit by a disaster and many people died, the court must send someone to investigate thoroughly.
In order to show himself, the magistrate of the county will definitely put on a show and gain a good reputation for nothing. If he can be appreciated by the peak, he might be able to rise to the top.
"I still have a big pot of tofu flower here."
The complexion was loose, the big man was bargaining, and the blue clothes followed suit, and just had a chance to talk.
Several people expressed that they were feeling cold all over, and they happened to have a big bowl of alcohol for each of them first.
The tofu flower is tender and white, braised in an iron pan, blended with shredded carrots, fungus, coriander, etc., and shredded pork, it is very solid.
After eating a bowl of tofu flower, Li Haitang felt less tired, and it was no problem to insist on walking to the village.
After some haggling, the big man is shrewd in business, and he is quite honest. There are many people in his group, so it is best to live in the village head\'s house. The village head\'s house has an old house at the west end of the village. It was originally allocated to the second son, but his second son I go to work in the city and come back once or twice a year.
Now the house is empty, everything is ready, let them live for a few days, so they can feel more comfortable.
The big man\'s words fit Li Haitang\'s wishes, and the last few people discussed, Lu Yuanqing, Zhang Ruyi and Li Haitang, who was a doctor, rode in a bullock cart, and the rest of them rushed on the road, basically arriving at Fangshan Village.
After arriving in the village, the big man led a group of people straight to the barefoot doctor\'s house. Seeing that Zhang Ruyi was seriously ill, the other party grabbed the medicine without any money, and told everyone to find a place to rest quickly.
"Ah? I didn\'t mention the money. Could it be that the lion will open his mouth in the future and won\'t be able to leave the village without giving money?"
According to the hearsay from the yamen servant, Lan Yi had formed a preconceived notion, and when she saw that the barefoot doctor didn\'t ask for money, she began to feel delusional and dreamy.
After only going out for a few days, so many accidents happened, she was already frightened, without any sense of security.
Li Haitang looked at the medicinal materials, and found that they were just right, and the dosage was quite accurate.
However, the entire group was exhausted, and they couldn\'t change places even in Longtan and Tiger\'s Den. They found the village head and let them live in the old house with almost no trouble. They also asked the village head\'s eldest daughter-in-law to bring eggs and vegetables from the house.
"You settle down first, just let me know if you need anything."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief took out the things at home, and the bedding should be dried every once in a while, otherwise it would smell musty. She and her mother-in-law came to clean the yard two days ago, and the house is still clean.
On a rainy day, the house will inevitably be damp, and the quilt will also be damp. Xiao Lingchuan lit a brazier and heated hot water in the stove. There are exactly three rooms, so it doesn\'t look crowded.
Li Haitang was puzzled. Aside from the shrewd accident of the big steamed bun seller, the people in the village seemed to be very simple, which was different from what the yamen servants said. But, perhaps, this might be their disguise. It depends on people, but you still can\'t see the surface. A group of them came to borrow the house, and they didn\'t intend to take advantage of it. The money that should be given must be given, and no one is short of that, as long as the other party doesn\'t go too far and takes advantage of others\' danger.
