According to later historical records, Jiangtou Village was a turning point in the entire Civil War. If it weren't for the more than 100 families in Jiangtou Village who "borrowed grain" from Shi Yuan, the more than 700 people led by Shi Yuan would probably starve to death. After the end of the war, this originally unstable Jiangtou village became stable, and an ancestral hall was built here, but it was the door of more than 100 families in this Jiangtou village......

Things were far smoother than Shi Yuan had imagined, although the people of Jiangtou Village were not very happy. This deceptive use of forceful means is also somewhat shameful...... But the people of these Jiangtou villages are accustomed to these things. It's just that in this way, they all feel a little novel.

As a rich land, this Jiangtou village has a lot of surplus grain for every household. Three days' rations for ten people may be a lot, but these people can also take it. It's just that what makes them a little confused is ...... This time, these soldiers did not ask for food, but they asked for dry food......

Towards evening, more than 700 people, each of whom received his share of rations. And the morale that was already low was also boosted. Except for Shi Yuan, of course.

Standing at the door of Old Man Kong's house, he couldn't knock on the door for a long time. He didn't know how to face Old Man Kong, and he didn't think about what to say to Old Man Kong. He wanted to just leave, but it seemed a little inauthentic to do so. And seriously, as the only person who knows his background, Old Man Kong feels that this side is still very necessary to see.

All the people in the village had already withdrawn from the village, and at this time, it was approaching evening, and the smell of cooking smoke was everywhere in Jiangtou Village, which had been busy for a while...... It looks peaceful, but the smoke and gunpowder are just a river apart.

"Squeak~" Just when Shi Yuan made up his mind and was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened. Then I saw Old Man Kong walking out of it......

"Uh, Cumber, you're so late, where are you going?" Taking advantage of the lights in the house, seeing the solemn face of Old Man Kong, Shi Yuan asked with a smile.

"Why haven't you left yet? Are you worried that I will leak my secrets and come here to kill people? Old man Kong pressed his hand on the door, and hit the knocker on the door "ding", which sounded a little irritating, so he reached out and pressed the knocker, and replied with disdain.

"What kind of murder, Kong Bo, you really like to laugh...... Haha......" Shi Yuan heard it, so he said haha, seeing that Old Man Kong didn't speak, just looked at him straightly, he stopped and looked at Old Man Kong with a serious face, "Uncle Kong, I'm leaving, come here to say goodbye to you." ”

"Farewell? That's all? Old man Kong grabbed the knocker with his hand, looking like he was about to close the door at any moment.

"Uh...... Maybe we can go in and talk? Hearing that Old Man Kong didn't seem to welcome himself, Shi Yuan asked tentatively.

After hearing this, Old Man Kong hesitated, and finally let go of his body and said to Shi Yuan, "Come in!" ”

"Hey!" Shi Yuan responded, and followed Old Man Kong into the gate.

At this time, it was just getting dark, and Old Man Kong's wife was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, and there was a bench next to it, thinking that Old Man Kong should have been sitting here before. But I don't know what the old couple who were arguing about before are talking here.

"Mother-in-law, are you okay?" Shi Yuan glanced at the things in the courtyard, and then asked the old man Kong's wife.

"You're here? Have a seat! Compared with Old Man Kong, his wife's attitude towards Shi Yuan is not bad.

Shi Yuan heard it but didn't say much, so he sat next to him. Rubbing his hands, he was thinking about what to say, but he heard the old man Kong who followed behind him say: "Old woman, it's not early, you can go into the house and rest!" In this way, he obviously wanted to talk to Shi Yuan alone......

"Say it! What do you want to talk to me about? When his wife went in, Old Man Kong also sat next to Shi Yuan, took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table, opened his mouth to ask, and picked out the oil lamp on the table.

"Uh...... Actually, there's nothing to say, but I want to apologize to you......

"Forget it!" Before Shi Yuan finished speaking, Old Man Kong interrupted him, "You've already done it, so there's no point in saying this...... When are you going to go to Chongzhou? ”

Old man Kong would have asked, and this question was directly related to this important matter. Shi Yuan hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but finally replied: "Tonight! ”

"Are you going to leave tonight? That's good...... It's okay......" Old man Kong didn't know what he was thinking, he muttered in his mouth, and sighed softly, "How are you going to enter that Chongzhou City?" ”

"This ...... I haven't figured it out yet. ”

"Then you should think about it, your rations are only for three days, don't come back to harm the village when the time comes."

"I will. Within three days, I wanted to ...... Cumber, you should be able to see your three sons! Old man Kong's words were thorny, but Shi Yuan didn't care, but replied with kindness.

Old man Kong, who was holding tea, heard Shi Yuan say this, and his hands obviously trembled. Obviously, no matter what he thinks of Shi Yuan or this matter, he still cares a lot about his three sons.

"If that is the case, I will give you all this year's harvest when the time comes. But...... Until then, you'd better take care of yourself! I don't know how to fight, but there are more than 700 people, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you're looking for death......" Old man Kong may be excited in his heart, but he doesn't have any mercy on his lips.

"Yes!" Shi Yuan nodded in response, and then stood up, "But when the time comes, I don't need your food, if we take Chongzhou City, I will return all the food we took today." ”

With that, he turned and walked towards the gate. He still hadn't figured out what his purpose was for coming to Old Man Kong, but he was a lot more sure-footed in his heart.

"Boy! Although I think you are very annoying, the old woman said, let me give this to you. Seeing that Shi Yuan was leaving, Old Man Kong stopped him, and then took out a burden from under the table.

"It's ......"

"Don't ask me, this is for you by the old woman. As for what's inside...... I don't know. Old man Kong said, and it was impossible to say that he stuffed this burden into Shi Yuan's hands.

Shi Yuan took the burden and took it in his hand, it was not too heavy, and it seemed to be something like clothes. But I don't know what she does for herself...... glanced into the room, but didn't make a sound, then took the baggage and turned away......
