The young man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ling'er fixedly, "You... Who are you? ”

"Brother Yuanbao, it's me, me, take a closer look?"

The young man stared at Ling'er up and down, still confused! Ling'er looked down at herself and patted her head, by the way, she is now a girl's version of Yang Ling'er, and when she was fooling around on the mountain, she was a boy's version of Xiaoshi, no wonder Yuanbao didn't know it! She smiled awkwardly, "Oh, I'm sorry, maybe... I recognized the wrong person! Brother, do you want to carry a basket and a bamboo basket? ”

Yuan Baohu looked at her suspiciously, nodded and said, "How do you sell this basket of bamboo baskets?" ”

Ling'er smiled and said: "The market price is ten wen for one basket and five wen for a bamboo basket, but I think my brother is kind, if you want these two things, you can give a total of ten wen, then the bamboo basket should be given to you!" ”

The young man was about to pay for it, when he suddenly heard someone nearby shouting: "Yuanbao, Yuanbao!" Where did this kid go? ”

The boy threw something and ran in the direction of the voice: "Hey, here, here, come right away!" ”

Ling'er stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that the man was standing in front of the stall selling rice and grain across four or five stalls, and the stall owner happened to be Xiaohuzi's father, and the person who called the ingots...... Liang Daming?! The one who brought himself into Liangjia Village!

Ling'er was surprised and delighted, and informed the old lady and Yue'er, saying that they would go to Xiaohuzi's stall to have a look, and they would come back in a while, and then go to their position in Yuanbao. It's a pity that she finally squeezed in front of Xiaohuzi's stall, but Yuan Bao and Liang Daming were missing, so she pulled Xiaohuzi to ask.

It turned out that Liang Daming came to buy rice grain, and his tone was very loud, saying that he wanted as much as he wanted, and at least ten loads, Xiaohuzi's field was not much, in addition to his own rations, it would be good to have a dozen or so loads left every year, they only shipped five loads today, and sold a lot of them scatteredly, so people naturally didn't look down on them.

Ling'er silently calculated, a load of one hundred and twenty catties of grain, folded into eighty catties of rice, the grain here is precious, the average adult has three or four loads of grain a year as rations, even if it is very good, ten loads at most is only enough for three people's rations for a year.

In this way, a few loads of grain is really not much, the people in Liangjia Village do not grow grain, they only rely on collecting medicine and hunting for a living, and one or two hundred people in their village have to buy nearly a thousand loads of grain in a year!

However, most people don't buy when they are gone, at most they save for a month or two, why do they buy so much at once? And the autumn harvest is coming soon, the new rice after the autumn harvest is naturally better, and there are many people selling rice and grain at that time, why don't Liang Daming wait for a month to come back? By the way, there is still a long way to go from Cangmang Mountain, why don't they go to Banlin Town to buy it?

Thinking of the fact that she was inexplicably kicked out of Liangjia Village before, Ling'er was still confused, and she always wanted to ask the people from Liangjia Village, not to mention that there were other things, since she ran into it today, she naturally couldn't let it go, so she asked Xiaohuzi where the two people were, and chased after them.

She inquired all the way in the market, and went to see all the stalls that sold rice and grain, and it was not surprising that almost all the stalls that sold rice and grain in large quantities had been asked, some to see the condition, and some to ask the quantity, whether they could come to pick up the goods, and basically did not bargain! It seems that they really want to buy it, but they feel that it is too little!

This market is too big, it is not easy to find one or two people, she thought about it, and simply ran to the vicinity of the town entrance, where there is a big tree more than ten meters high, and you can see the entire market square clearly by climbing up, so it is convenient to find people.

She swooped up the tree and hung like a monkey on the tree in search of her. After about a quarter of an hour, Ling'er suddenly found that there were several ox carts parked not far from the tree, some of which were already filled with grain bags, and the car was not waiting for the child Sanwa from Liangjia Village.

She was so happy that she slipped down from the tree, and wanted to come up to greet her, but with a little hesitation, she ran to a nearby stall and bought a set of old boys' clothes to put on, and then straightened herself up, and then ran in the direction of the ox cart in high spirits.

When the ox cart approached, several men were putting grain bags on the ox cart, and if they looked closely, they were all acquaintances, and they had seen them in Liangjia Village, but they couldn't remember their names clearly. She watched for a long time, until Yuan Bao appeared, he jumped out at once and patted Yuan Bao on the shoulder: "Hey! Ingots! ”

Yuan Bao was so frightened that he jumped away, and reached out to pull out the hunting knife hidden in his boots, Ling'er hurriedly said: "Hey, Brother Yuanbao, don't be, it's me, little stone!" ”

Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment, stared at Ling'er for a while, and pointed at him with a wide open mouth in surprise: "Small... Small stones! ”

"Yes, it's me, little stone, Brother Yuanbao, I've been looking for you for a long time, and I finally met you! Hey, the last time I was with you at the bonfire, why did I wake up and suddenly be in a cave? ”

Yuanbao's face changed a few times, and finally stood up with a straight face, and said lightly: "You recognize the wrong person!" ”

"Huh?" Ling'er couldn't believe her ears! Mistaken person? Is this obviously an ingot? Call him and he will answer!

"Yuanbao, what are you doing? Come and help! A man next to him called, Yuan Bao ran over with a promise, the man stared at Ling'er twice, Ling'er grinned politely at him, and greeted: "Hello uncle!" ”

But they just slanted at her with a straight face, and then ignored it, walked into the crowd and continued to work! Ling'er frowned, what is the situation? Why don't all the people in Liangjia Village know themselves? Could it be that the few days when I went to Liangjia Village were just a dream, but these people were obviously standing in front of them so truly, and they didn't even change their names!

The more Ling'er didn't understand, the more she wanted to figure it out, so she flattered and walked around the ingots, and Brother Yuanbao shouted happily! The so-called 'reach out and don't hit the smiling person', although Yuan Bao is tireless, ignores Ling'er, and even hides around, but he can't drive away the enthusiastic Ling'er.

Seeing that the ox cart was about to be full, and the people of Liangjia Village were about to set off, Ling'er was in a hurry, and ran to the side with the ingots, and the ingots shouted while struggling: "Let go, let go, little stone, what are you doing?" ”

Ling'er turned around and laughed when she heard this: "Brother Yuanbao, you really know me, go, I'll invite you to eat big buns!" ”

Ling'er dragged Yuanbao to the steamed bun shop not far in front of the archway in the town, and bought several large buns for Yuanbao, Yuanbao frowned and said: "I don't want it, you can eat it yourself!" ”

"Brother Yuanbao, I haven't had time to thank you before you took me to that secret valley last time, let's take this bun as a thank you gift for the time being, and I'll treat you to delicious food in the future!" By the way, Brother Yuanbao, what happened to the valley? Have you been there lately? ”

Yuan Bao looked around nervously, lowered his voice and said, "You be quiet, that place is a forbidden place in our village, and you can't go casually!" ”

"Hehe, Brother Yuanbao, you finally admit it, why don't you pretend not to know me!"

Yuanbao's face changed a few times, looked around, and pulled Ling'er to the alley on the side. The two of them found a secluded place to stop, and after Yuan Bao looked around to confirm that there was no one, he turned around and said, "Little stone, don't you mention the past, okay?" My grandfather has to keep me in a few months if he wants to talk to you again! ”

"Huh? Why? I didn't do anything bad? ”

"You haven't done anything bad, but you're not from our Liangjia Village! Grandpa said that the people of our village have been hiding in the mountains for hundreds of years, and ordinary people are not allowed to bring them in! ”

"I... Am I also an ordinary person? ”

"What do you think?"

Ling'er pursed her lips and rolled her eyes: "It's not ordinary, it's not ordinary, my strength is greater than others!" ”

"What does it matter to us whether you have a lot of strength or not?"

"It means that I am not an ordinary person, I still want to go to your village to play again!"

"No! Don't go, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes, if you are caught by my grandfather and uncle, they will definitely take you to feed the wolves! ”

"Huh? No, didn't I help you? ”

"My grandfather also gave you a lot of herbs as payment, we have already settled off!"

Ling'er pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "Cross the river and tear down the bridge!" ”

Yuan Bao glared at him and looked outside, "Little stone, no, I'm going back, don't call me again when you see you in the future, just treat us as if we don't know each other!" ”

Yuan Bao said that he was about to run out, Ling'er grabbed him, squatted down and hung on him to prevent him from leaving, Yuan Bao said anxiously: "Oh, little stone, what are you doing?" Let me go! ”

"Don't let it go, my matter hasn't been solved yet, don't you want to leave if you don't answer my question!"

The two of them tugged for a long time, but Yuan Bao had no choice, so he stopped and said, "Okay, what do you want to ask, hurry up, I'm going back in a hurry!" ”

"I didn't do anything bad in Liangjia Village, did I? Why did you throw me out for some reason? ”

"How can you throw it, it's obviously lifting...... Oops, forget it, my grandfather said that you are an outsider, and it is impossible to stay in our village, in case you go out and talk nonsense, and leak the secrets of our village, our village will be in danger, for the good of everyone, I have to send you out, understand? ”

"What nonsense? I can't just tell me! ”

Yuan Bao glared at her, Ling'er stuck out her tongue, and thought for a while: "That... The valley ......"

"Don't ask that, it's a forbidden place, I was locked up by my grandfather for a whole month last time for this, don't hurt me!"

Ling'er pursed her lips and thought for a while, "That... So what are you doing down today? ”

"Buy food!"

"I know, why do you buy so much?"

"Where is it, my grandfather told us to buy at least a thousand quintals in half a month, and we can only buy it in the market, really! Trouble is dead! ”

"Huh? A thousand quintals! There are only a few people in your village, so you are not afraid of mold if you buy so much? ”

"Don't worry about this, we have to buy a lot of food anyway, do you have it at home?"

"My family?" Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth, "My family's grain is still in the rice grain shop, and I haven't changed the money yet!" ”

Speaking of this, Ling'er's eyes rolled: "Hey, by the way, Yuanbao, you need a lot of silver to buy food, right?" Where did the money come from? ”

"Of course it's for medicinal herbs!"

"Medicinal herbs? Are you selling medicinal herbs? Does Cordyceps sell? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
