Chapter 18 18 Catch Ding

Chapter 18 18. Catch the young man

The roe deer weighed 30 kilograms, and the people from the Sihe Chamber of Commerce gave him 36 large coins.

Li Yuan spent 13 big coins on the spot to purchase 30 kilograms of corn and 10 kilograms of beans, divided into two bags.

After that, I spent 5 big coins to buy 1 catty of salt; I spent 5 big coins to buy a small bag of icing sugar and some candles.

This leaves 13 big coins.

These days, salt and sugar are luxury goods. Li Yuan is already satisfied to be able to carry so much back.

Zhao Feng's face was a bit dark, because the other person seemed to be planning to stay for a long time when he bought so many things, and was not planning to leave with him.

He thought for a while, looked at Li Yuan's back in the distance, then rushed into the snow, shouting: "Wait, wait!"

Li Yuan stopped and said politely: "Brother Zhao, what's wrong?"

Zhao Fengdao: "Li Yuan, let me give you another explanation.

If you join the Sihe Chamber of Commerce, you will also follow the third lady with me.

Although the third lady is suppressed, she is very capable and will definitely have a place in the chamber of commerce.

You and I are following Miss Third now. When Miss Third really comes to power, we will all be great contributors and there will be great benefits. "

His words completely dispelled Li Yuan's last hesitation.

Sure enough, every force will be divided into factions.

Whenever there are factions, there will be conflicts.

If a young lady wants to rise to the top, she needs people below her to fight for her.

There is chaos outside, but there is still chaos inside

However, Zhao Feng is just a bad guy. How much power does he have in the chamber of commerce? If he had power, he would not be assigned to a place like Xiaomofang to sell grain.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao. I will consider it carefully when I go back.

If you want to join the Sihe Chamber of Commerce, come here within three days, right? "Li Yuan pretended to be thinking.

"Yes! Just come here within three days," Zhao Feng said, "I'll be waiting for your good news."

Li Yuan nodded, carrying the bag again, and returned in the snow.

It's snowing heavily.

All traces of human beings have been wiped out.

Step by step, the young man walked a not too long distance and returned to the eaves of the hut.

He put down the sack and shook off the snow.

Madam Yan had heard the commotion and opened the door. She saw him with silvery hair and giggled, "He looks like a little old man."

Immediately, she turned around to pour hot water for her man to wash his face and hands.

But before he took two steps, Li Yuan grabbed his hand.

When Li Yuan pulled it, Lady Yan exclaimed, like a blue butterfly flying out.

Li Yuan hugged her and spun her around in the snow.

It turned around three or four times before stopping.

Lady Yan was not a boring person either. She didn't say anything after she stopped, but quietly tightened her hands around her man's waist.

Li Yuan also hugged her.

The two of them just clung to each other stupidly, standing in the middle of the snow in the yard.

The snow has not been swept away, and the snow is about knee-deep.

Above the sky, there is still a vast expanse of goose feathers.

After a while, both of their hair turned white.

Lady Yan chuckled and said, "What are you doing?"

Li Yuandao: "Your hair has turned white too."

Lady Yan smiled and said: "That's a good meaning. This is God telling us that we will grow old together."

Growing old together, in this world, is such a fairy tale dream

Li Yuan thought about his "immortality" and was stunned for a moment. Then he hugged his wife tightly and said, "I bought you icing sugar."

"Sugar frost!" Lady Yan laughed happily.

Li Yuan picked her up and walked into the house.

At night.

The young couple lay together and talked pillow talk.

"When I went to the Sihe Chamber of Commerce, I heard people inside say that they will withdraw in three days."

"What's wrong?"

"It's said that the Red Lotus Bandits have revolted."

"Red Lotus Thief? It should be the Red Lotus Sect, right? I've heard a little bit about it, but I can't remember who said it."

"Red Lotus Sect?" Li Yuan searched his memory and found that there was none. This meant that the original owner did not exchange much information with the outside world.

Lady Yan said: "The natural and man-made disasters in the south were too serious, and the Red Lotus Sect was born at this time.

It is said that the leader of the Red Lotus Sect can turn food into talisman water, and after drinking a bowl, he will not be hungry for a whole day.

Many refugees followed him and even placed portraits of him in their homes, worshiping him like a god. "

"Drink a bowl of Talisman water and you won't be hungry for a day?" Li Yuan sneered.

But suddenly, he thought of something.

If the Red Lotus Thieves really attack, will the government recruit troops?

If there is a conscription, he will definitely have to go, which is not good.

For a moment, he fell silent.

Is it possible that we should still follow Zhao Feng and leave?

No, that path is even more unstable.

This is seeing that the situation is not good, and like a gambler, he moves everything to another place that he cannot see clearly, thinking that it will not be worse.

But the ending is often unsatisfactory.

Li Yuan suddenly said seriously: "Sister Yan, I want to tell you something."

"What's wrong?" Lady Yan was stunned for a moment.

Li Yuan whispered in her ear: "After a while, if there is news that the Red Lotus Bandits are attacking the county, I will hide in the mountains in advance, and then return home quietly at midnight."

"Huh?" Lady Yan took a long time to react.

But after she came to understand, Madam Yan whispered: "Will you be discovered? And is it safe for you to hide in the mountain?"

Li Yuandao: "It won't be discovered."

time flies.

Three days later, Zhao Feng did not wait for Li Yuan or come to the door, but left directly with his people.

Li Yuan continued hunting as usual.

Uncle Wang and the restaurant also opened up the line of buying and selling.

Uncle Wang was an honest man, and Li Yuan's prey was also of good quality, so the restaurant was willing to buy meat from this "first-hand market".

In a blink of an eye, another nine days passed.

In Xiao Mo Fang, Li Yuan began to be low-key. Once he came back and deliberately scratched his skin with a stone, and then told others that he had encountered a blind bear, and then showed a look of fear.

This performance directly caused his "prestige" to plummet.

In the next few times, he came back later and later, and the prey he caught became smaller and smaller.

On the ninth day, he simply came back empty-handed, saying that he had not hunted anything.

Brother Xiong couldn't help laughing when he heard the news, and Feng'er had already slept in his bed and rolled with him.

After hearing the news, Feng'er said charmingly: "Brother Xiong, you are still awesome. Li Yuan is far behind."

Brother Xiong smiled and said: "He is OK, not bad."

Feng'er said: "Brother Xiong, when will you marry me?"

Brother Xiong said: "Soon, soon."

On the other side, Qian Er also smiled after hearing this.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the whole Shanbao County seemed to be boiling.

The government runners ran around and began to forcibly arrest people to fight against the strong enemy.

"The Red Lotus Bandits are coming! It's time to defend our country!"

"What are you talking about? I'm not asking you if you want to go, but you must go!"

"You have two men in your family? Then draw lots and pick one."

"You only have one man in your family, so you must go!"

"Go, go, go! What are you talking about? If you don't go, are you colluding with the Red Lotus Bandits? Go!"

For a while, people were complaining, and the scenes of separation of flesh and blood and separation of couples were everywhere.

Xiao Mo Fang

Brother Xiong was still sleeping with Feng'er in his arms when the door was knocked.

"Who is it?" Brother Xiong asked in a rough voice.

Feng'er also said in a strange voice: "Don't you know Brother Xiong is resting? You don't have a good eye."

The voice fell.

Bang! !

The door was kicked open directly. The yamen runner glanced inside, looked inside, and said: "Lu Ergou, right?"

Brother Xiong:.

After seeing the ferocious yamen runner, he lowered his head, avoided Feng'er's eyes, and said honestly: "Yes."

The yamen runner said: "Recruitment! Put on your clothes quickly and follow us."

On the other side.

The door of the Qian family was also pushed open.

Qian Erzheng was eating meat and drinking with a group of ruffians, but saw the yamen runner running in.

Qian Er was stunned for a moment and said, "You guys."

The yamen runner said directly, "I wonder why so many houses are empty, it turns out they are all here! Let's go, recruit soldiers!"

Qian Er took out two silver coins from his arms, handed them over quietly, and whispered, "I am a brother to your Constable Liu."

The yamen runner slapped the silver coins away and said, "Constable Liu is no longer on duty here, go, go, go!"

Behind him, a plainclothes officer holding a knife was leaning against the door frame, watching the scene coldly.

A few hooligans were still arguing, but the plainclothes officer stepped forward and threw all the hooligans to the ground in a few seconds like an eagle catching a chick, and they dared not resist anymore.
