Chapter 1007: Sail Home
Yang Xianmao came to Mihang and found that there were more people than usual, and they were all bought one by one.
A few of them Ren Yang Xianmao had seen, and they had taken a boat in the evening to see the fishermen who had collapsed the channel.
He immediately knew, those people also thought that once a section of the channel was cut off, it would be difficult for them to go out to transport grain, and the price of grain would soon soar, so before it rose, they should quickly buy the grain first, and never say anything about the collapse of the channel, lest the news spread, and the shopkeeper would stop selling grain immediately when he knew about it, and it would be better to buy the grain now.
Seeing this, Yang Xianmao was a little anxious, and hurriedly rushed in. When he arrived at the counter, the guy was busy selling rice, and he was too busy to greet him. He took out an ingot of gold, slapped it on the table, and said: "I am the new Yang Langzhong, I want to buy grain, is your shopkeeper here?"
The words of the newcomer were like a lion's roar, which immediately made everyone stop and look at him in horror. Because Yang Xianmao has made a lot of waves in the disaster avoidance village in the past few days, especially when the street stopped the fight between Qian Shanren and the beggar gang, and also defused Qian Shanren's thunderous blow with one move, showing superb martial arts that are staggering. At this moment, he suddenly appeared in Mi Xing and reported himself to his home, which of course caused a shock.
A guy who was carrying food for the fisherman hurriedly threw the food to the fisherman. shouted at the inside: "Go and report to the shopkeeper." The newcomer Yang Langzhong is here. To buy food. ”
After that, he ran over and nodded and said, "You want to buy food, how much do you want?"
Yang Xianmao said: "I want a cart of grain. ”
The guy was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you want so much food?"
"You don't have to worry about it, load me a cart of grain at once, and the price will be as you said. As soon as possible. ”
"Our shopkeeper is coming soon, why don't you talk to the shopkeeper and give you a discount, the shopkeeper admires you very much. In the past two days, if there is nothing to do, I have said that there is a great Langzhong, and the people are blessed, and they can find a place to see a doctor, so that they will not be delayed by those quacks......"
Yang Xianmao interrupted him: "Don't say it, I'm really busy, and I don't need to discount it, just load a car for me immediately according to your price." The shopkeeper has used it, so hurry up!"
With that, he took out another ingot of silver and slapped it on the table with a bang.
The guy saw that Yang Xianmao's face was cold, and he didn't look like a joke, so he quickly turned his head and ordered: "Hurry up and lead the carriage to load the grain, hurry up, Lang wait." ”
A guy came out of it, laughed with him, and said to Yang Xianmao: "Zhuo Langzhong, I'm really sorry, our shopkeeper is dealing with an urgent matter, and he will come out immediately, you sit in the hall for a while, and I will make you tea." ”
Yang Xianmao waved his hand and said: "No need, I have something urgent now, I am really in a hurry, I hope you will transfer some more manpower and load me with food immediately, quickly, is half a cup of tea enough?"
As soon as the fellows heard that half a cup of tea was about to be loaded with a cart of grain, they glanced at each other, and then at the two nails of gold on the table, quickly nodded in agreement, and ran in like a fly, and called a few more men to quickly carry the grain from the granary. Soon a cart of grain was loaded and wrapped in a piece of cloth and tied up. Yang Xianmao had already settled the account with the account office and paid the money when they loaded the grain, and after coming out, he said: "The carriage is borrowed for me, and the grain is unloaded and sent back." ”
The guy said, "We'll take care of delivering it to you, and we can also help you unload it." ”
Yang Xianmao said: "No need, I'll catch the car by myself." ”
The fellow said yes. Yang Xianmao flew on his horse, raised his whip, drove the carriage, and walked forward along the street
Yang Xianmao's carriage had just rushed into the darkness, and the shopkeeper rushed out of the back room, covered with sweat, and said loudly: "It's not for sale, it's not for sale, all the grain is gone, take it back quickly." ”
A man was handing over a bag of grain to a fisherman, and when the fisherman heard this, he snatched the bag of grain, put it on his shoulder, and went out. The two of them immediately grabbed each other, and then punched and kicked. The fishermen outside also rushed in, and the guys met them again, and there was a scuffle.
Shopkeeper Liang hurriedly called a few more guys to come up, and then the scene was calmed, and the fishermen stood at the door and scolded, saying that they had already paid, so why not sell. Shopkeeper Liang had no choice but to say that those who paid would forget it, and those who didn't pay would not be sold. The fishermen knew that the other party must have known the news of the collapse of the channel, so they stopped selling, but fortunately they also bought a lot of grain. Don't scold and drive away.
Originally, the rice shop was going to close when it was almost dark, but these fishermen kept buying rice and delayed it. When the shopkeeper Liang learned that a lot of rice had been sold, he was angry and anxious, and beat his chest.
Yang Xianmao drove and did not go to Guo's sister-in-law's house. He had already figured out on the road, food should never be placed in Guo's sister-in-law's house, because the news that he bought a cart of grain should be nothing now, and when there is a real famine, those hungry people don't care about anything else, they will look for food everywhere, and the news that they have a cart of grain will soon spread all over the village, and it will be difficult for these people to gang up to rob themselves, and the so-called heroes are difficult to defeat with four hands. Yang Xianmao decided to hide the grain.
The place he chose was Namsan Mountain.
Because so far, he is the only one who can enter Nanshan safely and come out, and the three Pang brothers can only enter and exit with him, otherwise they would have died long ago, so it is the safest to hide the grain in Nanshan, and no one dares to go in to find it.
The key is to find a hiding place where the beast can't find him. It can't be too far yet
By this time it was already dark. There is no one left by the river. Yang Xianmao parked the car on the beach closest to the river, the night covered everything, and walked forward from here, about half a mile to the pier where Guo and his sister-in-law parked their boats.
The boats were tied to stakes by the dock and would not be locked, as the village was completely enclosed. The water from this Qingshui River is water that comes out of the underground river, and there is no way out. The road out on the other side is currently blocked. The people who went to the disaster shelter village would not know the way out at all unless they were guided by Sister-in-law Gu and a few of them. Therefore, you can rest assured that you can boldly put it on the shore, and no one will steal it.
Yang Xianmao found Sister-in-law Guo's boat, there was no one on the shore, even if someone saw Yang Xianmao propping the boat away, they wouldn't say anything, and now basically everyone in the town knows the relationship between Yang Xianmao and Sister-in-law Gu.
Yang Xianmao propped up the boat to the place where the grain truck was parked, and then carried the bags of grain to the cabin, which was invisible from the outside. Then he drove the carriage back and returned it to Liang Mixing.
When Liang was in charge of the grain store, the guy came to pick up the car, looked unhappy, and said to Yang Xianmao: "It turns out that Mr. already knows that the passage out has collapsed and blocked, so he hurriedly ran to buy grain." How do I know I'm blocked by our shopkeeper and scolded me? - How can there be any reason why others pay money to buy food. ”
Yang Xianmao smiled, returned the horse to him, and then turned around and left Mi Xing. He first went to a nearby armory shop and knocked on the door, bought a single knife, and bought a dagger to stick in the shaft of his boot. Straighten out the zipline in the sleeve. Then he carried a single knife and walked briskly back to the river.
The boat was still quietly parked there, and he slowly carried the boat to the other side of the river, although his rowing skills were not very good, but it was relatively easy to hold the boat with the penny than rowing, especially at the bow of the boat, and the two sides could be supported alternately.
The boat reached the other side of the river, and he docked it behind a more secluded rock. Then hike up the mountain to find hidden places. This place can't be too far away, and it can't be too close. It's too much effort if it's too far. If you get too close, if someone ventures in, you might steal the food.
Yang Xianmao entered the depths of the dense forest, and the surroundings were quiet, and he stopped as soon as he took dozens of steps, because he felt that the pores of his scalp were expanding. A danger was looming at him, and he didn't know what it was.
He stood there, feeling where danger was coming. Soon, he sensed danger coming from behind. The speed is not fast, but it is very hidden, there is almost no sound, if Yang Xianmao is not tempered by the Yin and Yang True Fire, people become extremely agile, and they will not notice it at all.
As soon as Yang Xianmao turned around, he saw thousands of silk threads behind him overwhelmingly pressing down on him, as if they wanted to tie him up and strangle him.
Yang Xianmao held a single knife in his hand, and he did not use the knife to cut the thousands of silk threads, because these silk threads were important guards to protect his grain from others in the future. He immediately rushed forward, so fast that the threads could not catch up with him. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out dozens of steps.
Then he heard the clatter of something brittle under his feet, and he knew at once that it was the sharp grass under his feet, trampling and shattering. Only the soles of his feet, which have been tempered by the true fire of yin and yang, can resist this seemingly soft, but actually very sharp grass.
Yang Xianmao was hiding from the ubiquitous invasion while looking around, looking for a suitable cave to hide or something.
He saw a huge banyan tree with a dozen people hugging each other, with a hole in it, but it was shallow. Yang Xianmao was happy in his heart, some of the trunks of such trees are empty, and they may be used to hide grain.
But he searched for several oversized trees, but none of them found a hole in them.
There were sharp grasses everywhere along the way, as well as silk threads and branches that crept in from all over the place from time to time, but they were all dodged by Yang Xianmao with extremely fast speed. Fortunately, Nanshan was full of huge trees that more than a dozen people could hold over, and Yang Xianmao quickly found a huge tree hole behind a tree.
After entering this tree hole, it was about the size of a room. It's dry inside.
Yang Xianmao carefully checked whether there was animal feces on the ground and whether there was any smell of animals. If there is, it may be a place of sacrifice for animals, and if food is stored, animals will spoil it.
For fear of checking and finding no odor or animal droppings, this is a natural hiding place.
While he was inspecting, suddenly there was a rattling sound at the mouth of the tree hole. Originally, there was a dim moonlight that could barely shine on the scenery in the cave, but now it is invisible. He turned his head to see a large canopy of branches coming in from the outside to get him.
Yang Xianmao was taken aback, he wanted to reach out and cut it, but if it was cut, there would be nothing to protect the grain, and these branches were useful.
Yang Xianmao's eyes flashed, and he found that there was light above the tree hole, and he couldn't help but feel happy, there was a hole above the tree hole.
Without thinking about it, he immediately hit the zipline hook and hooked the inner wall of the tree hole. With a pull of his hand, his whole body rose into the air, and when he flew one or two feet high, his eyes lit up, and he saw a small tree hole, he immediately reached out and grabbed it, stopped his body, and took the zipline back, and drilled out of the small tree hole.
There happened to be a branch outside, very straight, and he got out and stepped on it. This is a great place to hide food. At this moment, Yang Xianmao noticed that the trees began to bend towards him, and apparently, he was discovered by these strange trees.
He immediately jumped down, rolling on the ground, overpowering a patch of grass like steel needles, believing that his clothes should be torn. And the trees immediately turned their heads and chased after him.
Yang Xianmao immediately ran back. Along the way, there were trees to intercept them, but they were all dodged by Yang Xianmao's extremely fast figure.
Near the river, he encountered three ferocious wild boars. Silently, he burst out of the grass and rushed out towards him. If it weren't for Yang Xianmao's quick reaction and the fact that he had been guarded in advance, he immediately hooked the tree trunk with a flying rope and flew over, he would have been intercepted by these three wild boars.
Yang Xianmao rushed to the river and looked back. The dark Nanshan Mountain was still silent, and there were much fewer lights on the other side of the river, because it was already late at night.
Yang Xianmao began to move grain. He only carried one pack at a time, because he had to dodge the attacking branches and silk threads, otherwise, he could carry two packs and have another one in his hand.
He carried a bag of food all the way forward, because he already knew what would happen along the way, and he dodged it even more calmly. He quickly came to the tree hole, threw the grain into the tree hole, and quickly crossed the obstacles back to the river.
The second time he came to the hollow with the grain, he was worried that the bag of grain he had thrown there had been swept away by the branches, but to his relief, the bag was still in the hollow, and it seemed that these horrible ghost trees had little interest in lifeless food.
Bag after bag, he moved a boatload of grain into the cave. However, he left a bag of grain on board for this time.
He used his divine power and moved a few grinding plate-like boulders to block the hole in the tree. He also cut down a few branches and planted them in front of the tree hole to camouflage.
Pack it all up, it's already late at night. He broke through the encirclement of the branches and others again, returned to the river, drove the boat back to the dock, and returned to Gu's sister-in-law's house with the bag of grain.
