"Xiao Zhi, the caravan has already set off and headed north." Early in the morning, shortly after breakfast, Ma Er got the news and came to report to Zhiwen.

North, whatever, follow first.

"How many people have you ever found out?"

"There are more than 20 vehicles of all kinds, and I estimate that there are nearly 200 people." Ma Er touched his chin and thought about it.

Compared with the number of people Zhiwen saw when he came out of Jiezhou, there were twenty or thirty more people, so I guess there were people who stayed in Puzhou at that time.

After pondering for a moment, Zhiwen made a decision and said to Kewang, Dingguo and Li Zhi beside him, "Pack up your things, let's all follow." ”

The other party has a lot of manpower, and if you don't do your best, even if you buy it with a lot of money, the other party may not sell it, and you will have to do it.

"What about the clothes that have not been finished in the shopkeeper Song?" There are still two hundred sets of clothes owed to them, and Xiao Yingniang is worried about them.

"I can't take care of this much," Zhiwen replied, "Let's eat this batch of goods first." ”

It's not that Zhiwen doesn't want this batch of clothes, but after eating this batch of manganese, what will happen to him, how far away from Puzhou will be by then, and whether he can return here, I don't know, so don't lose a big one because of a small one.

Besides, Bai got 300 sets of cotton clothes, and the orphans wore them, and there was a lot left, which could be kept as a reward for the refugees in the future, which could be regarded as making up for the losses inside the wall.

With the order of Kewang and Dingguo, the orphans took action and began to pack their things, while the refugees did not need Li Zhitong to pass on at all, as long as they saw the movements of Zhiwen and their shacks near the carriage, those who were willing to follow would follow their footsteps, and those who did not want to go would not be forced.

Song Kangnian followed with a dark face to clean up his things, he wanted to run away with what he wanted last night, who knew that he was drunk the night before, he didn't sleep well, and he was tired again yesterday, he slept this night, he didn't wake up, he missed the opportunity, now they are leaving, but how can he be good.

What Song Kangnian didn't know was that fortunately he didn't do anything last night, otherwise he would definitely be caught by the night watch.

His eyes inadvertently fell to the side of the carriage, but he was surprised to find that there was a lot less grain, not only the grain bags piled up in the open space were gone, but even a few bags of grain were left on the carriage.

Song Kangnian was startled, and hurriedly looked for the three sacks that he had specially marked, but fortunately, they were all well placed in a carriage.

......

"Brother Li and sister-in-law Li, this is our son-in-law." Xiao Si introduced Fan Yongdou to Da Li and his wife with a smile.

"Mr. and Mrs. Xian, please take a seat." Fan Yongdou nodded gracefully.

In order to show the importance he attaches to the two of them, Fan Yongdou met the two in his room, which has a special hall in addition to the bedroom.

As soon as the two of them sat down flattered, Xiao Si continued: "Are the two of you demonstrating in front of our son?" ”

"Oh, oh!" The husband and wife didn't even know how to speak in front of Fan Yongdou, the woman took out the needle and thread she carried with her and began to knit a sweater, but she could knit quickly without looking, but now she was clumsy, and after a while, she made several mistakes.

"Male... Childe, that's it. The woman stammered.

The man took out his tools, opened the bag and began to spin the thread, but like the woman, his hands and feet trembled, and he kept making mistakes.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Fan Yongdou smiled and comforted, in his eyes, knitting sweaters was still fresh, but after a few glances, he concluded that as long as this work fell in the eyes of those weavers in Jiangnan, it would not be long before it could be perfectly reproduced, or even higher.

As for spinning wool into thread, it is even less worth mentioning, no different from silk and cotton.

He was interested in how the light, soft wool in the bag was made.

"Two, this wool comparison is your real secret, right?" After Da Li and his wife stopped being nervous and slowly calmed down, Fan Yongdou suddenly asked.

"Huh?!" The two who were busy were asked by him, and they all raised their heads to look at him for some reason.

Seeing the two of them look like this, Fan Yongdou suddenly had a bad feeling and lost his patience, "Let's open the skylight and say something, did you make this wool that can be spun?" ”

The two shook their heads, and Fan Yongdou's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden, "Then where did this wool come from?" The voice was already a little harsh.

"I got it all from Mr. Li."

"Mr. Li? Who is it? ”

"Mr. Li is Mr. Li, we fled with Doctor Sun, distributed the work, and distributed money and food."

"And he made this wool?"

"No," Da Li shook his head, "a few days ago, he hired someone to wash the wool, and I washed it all." ”

"Oh," Fan Yongdou hoped in his heart again, "will you wash wool?" ”

"Yes, it's very simple, just put the wool in a jar with water and rub it constantly, almost rinse it with another kind of water, and finally dry it." Da Li said, "It's just that the smell is too bad, and the water burns your hands very much." ”

"Water! What water? ”

"Then I don't know, we'll be ready when we get to the mountain."

Xiao Si saw that the scene was not quite right, and knew that he was afraid that he would smash the errand, and his heart trembled, as if he looked around, and saw the leader of the guard at the door quietly waving to him, looking anxious.

Xiao Si silently retreated to the door and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" Say it. ”

"The three bodies are gone, and the wagon is now full of food." The leader also said in a low and fast voice.

They came back a little late last night, thinking that they would still have to take the food out of the city for processing today, so they didn't unload their things, and piled them all on the car.

This courtyard has been wrapped by them, there will be no outsiders, and there are people keeping vigil at night, and there is no abnormality, which shows that the bag was transferred yesterday outside the city.

Xiao Si was stunned by the news, and before he came back to his senses, he heard Fan Yongdou drinking behind him, "Muttering, what are you doing?" ”

After Fan Yongdou's interrogation, he knew that what they knew was just skin, and the real core thing was not known at all.

According to his temper, blasting these two out at this moment is already cheaper for them.

It's just that to find out the situation of those refugees, you have to rely on these two people, thinking of this, Fan Yongdou barely got angry.

Unexpectedly, he saw Xiao Si and the leader of the guards muttering at the door, and Fan Yongdou couldn't control the anger he had just suppressed, and shouted to ask the two of them.

Xiao Si was so frightened by this sound that he sat on the ground with a "poof", turned around and crawled in front of Fan Yongdou, and cried, "Childe, the little one is wrong, the little one is wrong..."

The leader of the guards was also frightened, and followed behind Xiao Si in a few big steps, and knelt down without saying a word.
