Chapter 1764 Gujiacun

Aunt Xiong almost kicked her burden, but Aunt Tao grabbed her and said, "Ten pounds. The vegetables in your basket are good, we want them all."

Oh, he's still a generous patron.

The woman was very happy and immediately quoted the price. After seeing Grandma Tao nodding, she happily gave Grandma Tao ten pounds of old rice and all the melons and vegetables.

Aunt Tao didn't answer, but Aunt Xiong did and gave the woman some money.

The woman also noticed that this Aunt Tao was not easy to mess with. Thinking of the previous Baihu who was also not easy to mess with, she felt anxious and said in a compensating way: "Auntie, don't think that we are trying to trick you. , we also have tasks... For the sake of you helping me complete the work, let me give you a warning. Don't just go to the hotel with others on this journey. The people who drag you to the hotel are much darker than us. ”

The woman finished ordering, and after she finished speaking, she pointed to the remaining rice, flour and grains in the basket and said, "Mom, would you like some more?"

"It's enough." Aunt Tao didn't ask for it, turned around and left to tell Gu Jinli about it.

Gu Jinli frowned and felt angry: "If I hadn't known that this was Gaoshui County, I would have thought we had entered a bandit's den. Who is so bold?"

Aren't you afraid of punishment from above?

She also knew that anyone who dared to deceive passers-by so blatantly must have someone involved in the Yamen.

Then he said: "Mommy, don't eat those rice and vegetables. After walking a few miles, throw away the basket together, lest they drug us and come to rob us at night."

It's not that she wants to think bad things about people, it's just that this group of people gave her this feeling.

"Old slave, I'm going to tell you guys right now that I won't touch the things given by those people." Aunt Tao didn't waste any time, and immediately got off the carriage to tell Aunt Xiong.

After learning that Han had also bought a load of grains and vegetables, he went to Han's carriage to remind her.

Mrs. Han was very grateful and said, "It's not that I eat it myself. I'm just like grandma, who buys things in a routine."

Then he told Aunt Tao the news he asked about.

After hearing this, Aunt Tao went back and told Gu Jinli: "The person who was buying things wanted to invite Mrs. Zhang and the others to stay in Linshui Village in front of them. After Mrs. Zhang declined, the woman selling things got angry and said, please, please If you don’t go there at this time, if you come back to our village if you encounter some kind of disaster, we’ll have to pay double the price.”

After hearing this, Gu Jinli thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid there are some traps on the road ahead... If there were no ambush, I wouldn't have said such words that were sure that we would be in trouble."

Aunt Tao was shocked: "Is there any royal law for this? How dare they? General Xu is still in Daokouigou, and he is not afraid of being found out?!"

Gu Jinli said: "What's there to be afraid of? Among the people who have experienced the disaster of war and survived, who is still pure and kind? In order to live an easy life, he will naturally do his best to harm passers-by."

As for General Xu, he is currently busy with Daokougou and guarding the capital, and has no time to pay attention to such trivial matters.

Gu Jinli found Danian and asked him to wait for Qin Sanlang and tell him his worries.

"Yes." Danian took the order and went.

Less than half an hour later, Qin Sanlang came back from fetching water, got on the carriage, and told Gu Jinli: "We have sent You An and others to explore the road, Xiaoyu, don't worry."

After hearing this, Gu Jinli finally felt relieved.

Qin Sanlang was worried about her, so he didn't get off the carriage and walked with her for a while. After seeing You An and the others, he stopped the large group.

You An came over to report: "Sir, madam, those evil people really dug a trap, and there were poisonous insects in it. After we took off the cover on the trap, a group of people came over and dragged us, asking us to stay in Linshui Village, saying that they There are insect attractants in the village that can help us attract insects.”

Qin Sanlang's face was as cold as frost... He had seen local snakes taking money from passers-by, but he had never seen such evil things like raising poisonous insects as traps.

It seems that these people should not be given insect attractant medicine for free. They have to pay for it, so they dare not raise poisonous insects like this.

"Let You Xi take the people to stay, check Linshui Village, and follow after finding evidence of the crime." Qin Sanlang originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but it involved raising poisonous insects and harming passers-by, so he couldn't ignore it.

"Yes." You An went down to make arrangements, and reminded You Xi to be careful and not mess up the task.

You Xi agreed and stayed with half of his men, disguised as passers-by, and moved into Linshui Village.

Gu Jinli and the others ran all the way towards Gujiacun.

Gujiacun is not far from Gaoshui County. It can be reached in a day's walk. If they take a carriage, it will be more than half the speed.

You An and the others were still at the forefront, responsible for sweeping the road and sweeping out several traps.

But there are no poisonous insects inside, just some traps to prevent passers-by from moving forward.

After the traps were pulled out, the village that set the traps and Zhuangzi were very angry. The villagers and the servants of the village came out to beat people and extort money, but they were beaten back by You An and others.

With the road cleared like this, the large team led by Qin Sanlang can travel smoothly.

However, this delayed their trip, and by the time they arrived at Gujiacun, it was almost dark.

You An and the others had already entered the village and scanned it. They were now standing at the entrance of the village waiting for Qin Sanlang and the others. When they saw people coming, they came up to report: "Master, the village is empty. There are a few refugees here. We gave them some money and sent them Clear away."

"The village is not very deserted. I heard from the refugees that passing caravans knew that no one lived in the village and would come in to stay temporarily."

Finally, he said: "My subordinates feel that they may have lied, and have sent people to follow them... This village is not simple, it is weird, do we still want to go in and live there?"

You An was brought out by Qin Sanlang, and he was very good at doing things. After going into the village and scanning it, he felt that Gujiacun didn't look like it had been abandoned for a long time.

The old well in the village has been cleaned, and good water is coming out of it.

You An explained the situation in the village in detail and waited for Qin Sanlang's reply.

Qin Sanlang only said one word: "Stay."

This is Xiaoyu's hometown. Whether it's really abandoned or someone set up a trap to eat passers-by, they have to go back.

It's best if nothing happens. If something happens, resolve it thoroughly to avoid having to go back and solve it all over again.

"Yes." You An responded, leading Qin Sanlang and the others.

A large team entered the village in a mighty manner.

You An has sent people to clean up some of the better houses in the village. Two of them are still large brick houses with tiles, one belongs to the old Gu family and the other belongs to the village chief Gu: "There are passing caravans, escorts, and soldiers. I have stayed in the village, and the houses are not deserted and can be occupied by people."

I have to say that the old Gu's house with large blue bricks and tiles is really grand. There are three main rooms and two wing rooms on the left and right. They are all very spacious. One wing room is as big as three modern rooms.

Later, they bought green bricks and built an additional room to serve as Gu Youwen's study.

But Gu Jinli's family has never lived in such a good house for a day. Her family lives in an old mud house at the back.

Ironically, this large house with blue bricks and tiles was built with her grandmother's dowry money, and the additional study room was built with her father's working money.

Mrs. Kuang looked at the old Gu family's house and sighed: "Sanlang's wife, I didn't expect your hometown's house to be so nice. It looks grand even in the dark. When it gets bright tomorrow, I'll have to take a good look at it."
