Chapter 137: Clichés

After getting Daddy Wen's task, Wen An'an and the others wanted to go outside to inquire about the news that day, but they were stopped by Wen Qing'an.

After all, they have been on the road for so many days, and both adults and children are physically overwhelmed. Moreover, this matter of inquiring about the news cannot be completed in a while.

After two days of adjustment, Wen Qing'an finally agreed to let Wen An'an and them go out to find out the news in the name of shopping and shopping.

However, before coming out, Wen Qing'an and Wen Shi warned them that safety should be the first condition. If they find out that the person surnamed Nie is not a good person, then they don't have to continue to inquire, so as not to be targeted by others unknowingly.

After several people swore by the gambling curse, and Wen Anze vowed to bring his younger siblings back intact, the two couples let their four children go.

Looking at the pitiful number of pedestrians compared to other counties and towns, Wen Anan asked the others strangely: "Why are there so few people on the street?" ”

"Even so, I wonder if the sun is already high when we come out today. Even if you go to bed again, you should wake up. But look at how many people there are here."

"Hmph, it seems that we really didn't come out in vain this time. Let's find a place to inquire."

With that, Wen Anze took the other three children and walked to a small food shop.

One person ordered a bowl of ravioli, and the four of them sat there and waited.

However, while waiting, Wen Anze started talking to a woman who was sitting next to him, drooping her head and about to fall asleep.

"Auntie, are you here to eat wontons too?"

Hearing the question, the woman did not pay attention to it at first. It wasn't until Wen Anze asked a second time that the woman opened her eyes and looked at him.

When she found out that Wen Anze was asking herself, the woman was still in a chaotic sleep, and suddenly disappeared without a trace, and suddenly came to her senses.

"Oops. Look at me, I'm sleeping, little brother, you didn't hear anything talking. But I can't blame it, the main thing is that there are too few customers in our store, and no one usually talks to anything......"

Let's go, the aunt before the meeting showed no signs of stopping, Wen Anze had to interrupt her with a smile: "Auntie, is it that the population of your place is too small." When we first came, we didn't seem to have a lot of pedestrians on the street. ”

"Little brother, who are you?" Halfway through the conversation. The woman wandered vigilantly over several of them.

Seeing the woman's guarded gaze, Wen Anze hurriedly explained to her: "Auntie, don't be afraid, we are not bad people. It's just that we happened to pass by here with the Lord's house, and it was only out of curiosity that we inquired about you."

After talking for a long time, the woman really looked at Wen Anze and them at this time.

When I saw Wen Anze, they were all half-grown children, although they were only dressed in coarse cloth clothes worn by ordinary people, but they spoke politely. Not like some bad guy at all.

Coupled with the fact that several people looked well-behaved and honest, the woman was relieved.

As soon as the guard was lowered, the woman's words poured out of control like a flood.

"I see that you are from other places. If it's a local person. How could it be that I didn't know anything. Even a one-year-old doll understands, that's not, the son of your sister-in-law's family is a little older, and when he sees me, he speaks quietly......"

I found that the woman was talking and going off topic. Wen Anze hurriedly interrupted her, "Auntie, is there something wrong with you people here?"

It's good that Wen Anze didn't mention it, he mentioned it. As if she had found a bosom friend, the woman suddenly grabbed his hand and held it tightly: "Little brother, if you don't say it, you are a person who has seen the world." You don't know how much our people here have suffered. It wasn't like that in our county before, if it weren't for that."

At this, the woman turned her head and looked inside and outside the snack shop, and saw that there was no one, so she pulled the bench and leaned over to them.

"You don't know, we weren't like this here before, if it weren't for those bastards coming here, our county would be very prosperous."

The woman's sudden stop made Wen Anze and the others all look at her in confusion. Until finally Wen Anze tentatively spoke: "Those bastards? ”

"Oops, after waiting for a long time, you finally asked"

As soon as she spoke, she immediately gave a few people to Lei De and scorched them inside. What a wonderful flower does this aunt have to be to make such a move.

With the cooperation of Wen Anze's 'tacit understanding', they finally got a lot of information from their aunt.

I don't know how many years ago, some bandits gathered on a hill near them, and they usually robbed houses, but they only came to the county every once in a while. Most of them are robbing passers-by and merchants.

I don't know which way they offended the gods in the process of robbery, and later some soldiers came, under the banner of strangling bandits, and ended this den of thieves.

Although the bandit leader was killed, the remaining bandits were not cleaned up, and many of the bandits fled here to hide.

Later, I don't know if Lu Dao didn't have time to arrest people as a soldier, or if he was too lazy to arrest them, anyway, they didn't continue to arrest the group of minions who fled to the county, and finally left like this.

The rest of the bandits saw that the dragons were leaderless, and they had no idea of going back, so they settled here.

But they are accustomed to getting something for nothing, and how can they have the heart to engage in a proper livelihood, and those who are the last to work in this place have become gangsters.

At first, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but as the number of gangsters grew, so did their boldness.

Four or five years ago, those people even began to bribe people from the government. The government took their money, and they turned a blind eye to the protection money they collected in the county.

Not only protection fees and land fees, but also fees for a period of time and even on the streets, which made the people panic.

In the end, some people who have relatives in other places go to their relatives, and those who have no relatives can only stay here and be exploited by them.

"It's so shameless, in broad daylight"

Seeing Wen Anhao's indignant slap of the table, the woman hurriedly got up and ran to him, covering his mouth: "My little ancestor, I beg you, if you let that group of people hear this, our family will have to close down." You are doing well, but you can't bring trouble on us."

Seeing Wen Anhao's face getting redder and redder from being suffocated, Wen Anan hurriedly went to pull the woman's hand: "Auntie, let go, my brother is about to die." Don't worry, he won't talk nonsense anymore."

Seeing Wen Anhao nodded, the woman let go of him with trepidation.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem"

It wasn't until his younger brother's coughing stopped that Wen Anze looked at the woman sitting back again: "Auntie, what's the name of the current gangster?" ”

"What are you asking about this, you don't want to learn well and become a gangster, right?"

It is estimated that many children here have been damaged by the gangsters on the street.

So when Wen Anze inquired about the gangsters, the woman even looked at them with a stern gaze.

In order to dispel the woman's concerns, Wen Anze even raised his hand to Wen An'an: "What did the aunt say?" Can I still take my sister to be a gangster? The reason why I inquired was because we were going to be here for a while, so I was afraid that if we were not careful, we would offend those gangsters. ”

Turning his gaze to Wen An'an, although the little girl was a little weird with a veil, she didn't look like a bad boy when she heard her talk just now.

"I don't know what the current gangster leader is called, but everyone calls him Brother Biao."

Sure enough, the man who was called Biaozi by Master Jiang was the leader of the gangsters.

"Then, does that Brother Biao have any opponents?"

Seeing that the woman shook her head suspiciously, Wen Anze and Wen Anhao glanced at them a few times.

No, that biaozi didn't say there was a ......

"Oh, that's right," the woman clapped her hands and shouted, immediately drawing the attention of Wen Anze and the others.

Looking at the strange gazes of Wen Anze's children at her, the woman laughed dryly, and then beckoned them to come around: "I heard that the kid surnamed Nie is not right with Biaozi."

Wen Anze's shining eyes aroused the woman's sense of accomplishment in gossiping, although the people would only talk about this topic in private, but at this time, the woman told them like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"That Nie boy, in fact, is not a great person, he usually sells firewood, does odd jobs or something. Originally, it was not easy to make a living, and those bastards still collected so much money, and he went back and forth, so he and Biaozi did it."

"Isn't he afraid of being alone?"

"Hehe, little girl, look at what you are asking, how can he be the only one. Although that Nie boy is as strong as a cow, he is not a cow, it is difficult to be so stupid. I haven't met him, but I've heard that he's upright and righteous, so he has a lot of friends, and if anyone is bullied, he'll have to help him. This back and forth has also become a force" (to be continued......
