Before entering the city, I found someone to watch the car, there was no market today, Situ Yan spent more than two pennies to find someone to watch the car, handed over the mule cart to him, first went to the bookstore to copy the book for a while, and when it was almost noon, I found a place where no one was, hid in the ring and dressed up according to yesterday's appearance. After carefully looking at it from head to toe to make sure that there was no problem, he went out of the ring, and then turned around the street around the Ding Kee grocery store to determine the route of retreat, and then went straight to the back door, and took out the sack containing coarse salt from the ring while there was no one.

knocked on the back door, the door that was opened by the guy who beckoned her yesterday, "Honorable guest, the shopkeeper has asked me to wait here early in the morning, please come in." ”

"No need, go and ask the shopkeeper to come over! Let's just say I've brought something. "Of course Situ Yan won't enter the courtyard, so once things change abruptly, there will be no way out.

When the guy saw that he was not moving, he hurriedly answered "yes", and then went into the shop to call someone.

When it was almost noon, the shopkeeper Ding couldn't sit still, and followed his brother and sister around the house all the time, thinking about whether he would be fooled, and wondering if their affair was revealed for Situ Yan to find out, and when he was anxious, he saw the guy who arranged to take care of the back door come to report that people and things had arrived.

The two looked at each other excitedly, Shopkeeper Ding went to see Situ Yan first, and his younger brother hid aside, also afraid that Situ Yan would bring other helpers.

Shopkeeper Ding first exchanged a few words with Situ Yan, and then looked at the goods, "Distinguished guest, you are a first-class product, I don't know if you still have it in your hand, and I want it at this price." ”

"I said yesterday, I can't lose you, as for the inventory, it's not there now, and there will be a chance in the future!" Situ Yan thought that if this person was reliable, it would not hurt to trade a few more times, otherwise it would be a matter of a one-shot deal.

When the shopkeeper Ding heard that there was no stock, he saw that there was no one around, only Situ Yan alone, so he made up his mind to eat this batch of goods for nothing, handed over the silver money to Situ Yan first, and let people take the goods into the store. politely invited Situ Yan into the shop to sit and rest. Seeing his words flickering, Situ Yan politely declined the kindness of entering the shop to rest, checked the silver ingot in his hand, exactly 20 taels, took a few steps back and was about to turn around and leave.

I saw that the shopkeeper Ding stepped forward and grabbed her, and no longer had the appearance of Yingmei smiling just now, and shouted, "Catch the thief!" Someone stole money! ”

Situ Yan secretly screamed badly, put the silver into the ring with a backhand, and took a little bit of the numb tendon of the shopkeeper Ding, forcing him to let go, and then ran away.

Ding's shopkeeper's younger brother got the letter and led a group of men to chase after him. Situ Yan is small and has short legs, which has both advantages and disadvantages, and she is more flexible when she moves and moves, but her speed is slow. If I hadn't checked the surrounding route before, I would have caught up with the people behind me by this time.

But even so, before turning out of the second street, the people behind her were still chasing closer and closer, she dodged into the alley next to her, and when she saw that there was no one inside, she squatted down and pressed her hand to a stone shadow, and her mind moved into the ring. She didn't know what the ring looked like to outsiders at this time, so she didn't dare to be careless, for fear that someone would pick it up. Only then did he deliberately press his left hand to a dark place.

Shopkeeper Ding, his brother and his companions followed closely into the alley, but there was no trace of Situ Yan, "What about people? Where has this man gone, you guys go over there, look for it. Second brother, if you take a few people who have seen this kid to the city gate to block it, I don't believe that I can't catch him. ”

"Big brother, be careful." When he had finished speaking, he called the Venerable Master and went to the gates of the cities to keep guard.

Situ Yan waited for nearly an hour before changing back into her original clothes, washing her face, withdrawing from the ring, checking her probe, and seeing that there was no one around, she went to the embroidery workshop to change some cloth, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

Before the person arrived at the city gate, she saw the person who took the lead in chasing her guarding the edge of the city gate, dressed in a messenger suit, "It seems that this Ding shopkeeper has something to do with this person, there is no benefit, and he will not chase so closely." ”

She looked at the clothes on her body again, and then swaggered over. Guarding the south gate is the brother of the shopkeeper Ding, when he first saw Situ Yan, he felt that this person's figure was very similar to the kid he was chasing, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but after a closer look, he found that these two people were dressed completely differently regardless of their appearance, so he glared at Situ Yan angrily, and deliberately looked at Situ Yan's back basket, and saw that there were only some cloth heads and rags in it, and there was no string of copper coins, and there was no silver after touching Situ Yan's waist twice, so she let her go.

Situ Yan pretended to be frightened, hugged the back basket, shook his legs and thanked him while taking two steps, the more like this, the more the brother of the shopkeeper did not suspect Situ Yan, he remembered that the kid who ran away was very slippery, and he ran very fast, he was a bold and careful, completely different from this kid.

When Situ Yan turned around, her face was no longer frightened, she put the basket on the car, and drove back to Lijia Village.

Ding's shopkeeper's younger brother stayed guard until the city gate was closed, and he didn't see Situ Yan, who was easy to look out, out of the city, so angry that he went back to Ding Ji's grocery store, and he couldn't even eat, "Big brother, did you say that kid originally lived in this county?" ”

"No, he stole the things of the owner, how could he sell them locally, listen to his accent, and have a bit of Beijing flavor, maybe it came out of the house of a Beijing official, how can we have a Beijing official in this county?"

"Then we have been on guard for a day, why haven't we seen anyone?"

"Either the boy was too cunning and let him run, or he found a place to hide first, and waited for us to be careless so that we could get out of the city. Tomorrow you find someone to draw his portrait and stick it to the city gate, and you will really arrest him as a thief, and I don't believe that I can run away from him. ”

"It's only like this, otherwise I'm alone, where can I keep it. But if someone else catches me, my merits will be gone. ”

"You, that news is provided by you, no matter who catches it, you can't be missed. Don't do things, just stare at the front of you. ”

"It's still the case that the eldest brother said, that's okay. I'm still hungry, so I'll go back first. ”

The two thought that they were sure of everything, but they didn't know that they couldn't find Situ Yan in the end, so they could only resign themselves to believing that the person had already run away. I was so angry that I didn't eat for a few days.

Situ Yan, who returned home, first fed the mules with warm water and forage, and then went to prepare lunch. It's also quieter than usual when eating. In the afternoon, there were a few drops of rain, and she didn't bother to go out, so she slept until near Shen before she got up, first took out the twenty taels of silver, looked through it carefully, and made sure that no one had done anything to do it, and then put the silver away again.

This sale of illicit salt is too risky, if it weren't for the space ring this time, with her physical condition, she would definitely not be able to escape, but if she didn't sell illicit salt, she couldn't make money guarding a salt well, and she was unwilling. Why is it so difficult for this ancient person to eat with a mouthful of food, the more he thinks about it, the more powerless he becomes, and people lie down on the kang, and their hearts are very chaotic.

When eating dinner, I saw Li Dalang and a few people coming back, all of them were soaked, Situ Yan hurriedly boiled water to change the clothes for a few people, and cooked ginger soup to make a few people sweat after drinking two large bowls in a row, and then started to eat dinner.

The four of them chatted while eating, and Li Sanlang realized that the little sister had not made a sound all the time, and sometimes she was still flustered while eating, "Little Wu, are you uncomfortable?" You didn't talk much at noon, because you were tired these days. ”

When San Lang said this, Erlang put down his rice bowl, and Da Lang also reached out and touched Situ Yan's head to make sure that there was no fever, so he carefully looked at the little sister's complexion.

"Brothers, don't worry, I don't have anything, I just went to the market yesterday, and I found out that I can't take out this salt and sell it, and I feel a little unhappy."

"I still think what's the matter, we can't sell it, we eat it ourselves, there is salt in this dish, and it tastes delicious." Li Dalang is also a pity in his heart, but if he sells illicit salt, he wants to cut off his head, even if the little sister wants to sell it, he also disagrees.

"Yes, Xiao Wu, if you look at this lot of salt, we can still take it as a gift, and if it doesn't work, we can make some pickles to eat. In short, it saves money to buy salt, and that's a lot. Li Sanlang's words touched Situ Yan at once, "Yes, it can be made into pickles, why does she only think about taking the straight road and forgetting to move forward in a roundabout way, as long as the purpose is the same, she can make money." ”

People figured it out, and their spirits ran back, "Thank you, brothers, I figured it out." I'll start making pickles tomorrow, and when I go to the market next time, I'll go sell pickles. ”

"Little Wu, someone has bought this pickle too?"

"Why not, second brother, you think, this official salt is expensive, most people can't afford to eat it, we sell pickles, but it's much cheaper than that official salt, take it home and stew it with wild vegetables, that dish doesn't have a salty taste." I think I can sell it, and there are a lot of dried vegetables in my house that I dug with my fourth brother years ago, such as small garlic and dog treasure. ”

"It's good that Xiao Wu is happy. If there's anything we need to do, just squeak. Li Dalang thinks it's good that the little sister can be happy, as for whether she can sell it, it's nothing, it's a big deal to eat it slowly at home.

"There's nothing you need help with, my brothers are working very hard in the fields these days, if the work in the fields is not busy, let's rest at home!"

"We are not tired, we have cattle in the fields, and we eat medicinal food. That's all the work in the field, and the four of us are busy, and we are not tired at all. I can take a nap at noon every day, but in the evening I still feel that I am mixed up. When a few people saw Situ Yan smiling as before, they were happy, and the tiredness on their bodies was swept away. They just want their little sister to be happy like this forever, and they feel distressed when they see their little sister worrying about making money.

"When my brothers are still growing up, I can't be careless, I don't pay attention to it when I'm young, and I'm sick when I'm old." A few more people read the book for a while, and then they rested.
