Chapter 157: Inquire about the news

Liu Ci was really hard to refuse when he heard this, thinking about it carefully, Xiao Fangzhuo's clothes were almost wet, and he definitely had to change them, if he wanted to change his clothes, it was really difficult for her to be a woman here.

"Alright then, thank you Sister Gao."

In the face of the two thanks, Sister Gao's face never let go, and after hearing Liu Ci's agreement, she turned around and left directly, Liu Ci looked at Cang Changfeng, and then looked at Xiao Fangzhuo who was already lying on the ground.

"Changfeng, I'll trouble you to watch him tonight." Seeing that Cang Changfeng nodded and agreed, Liu Ci followed behind Sister Gao and left.

After Liu Ci woke up the next morning, the figure of the eldest sister Gao was no longer in the house, she went to another room, Cang Changfeng and the coachman were also awake, they also changed Xiao Fangzhuo's clothes last night, and now Xiao Fangzhuo is sleeping on his clothes.

"How's he doing?" Liu Ci quietly asked about Xiao Fangzhuo's situation.

"He's fine, he had a fever last night, but it's down now."

Listening to Cang Changfeng's words, Liu Ci looked at Xiao Fangzhuo again, judging from his complexion, he seemed to be really fine, and now he can sleep so soundly, eighty percent of it is already well.

Thinking of this, Liu Ci also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Cang Changfeng in a somewhat ridiculous tone: "If something happens to him, won't our 100,000 taels of silver be wasted?" ”

Cang Changfeng looked at Liu Ci's appearance, smiled and nodded, it was true, but then he yawned Liu Ci noticed his movements, and asked with some concern: "Did you not sleep all night last night?" ”

Hearing Liu Ci's words, Cang Changfeng shook his head with a smile, and said in a somewhat joking voice: "Shouldn't I be optimistic about our 100,000 taels of silver?" ”

"Okay, you can go and rest for a while, even if you squint a little, it's good, if you stay up like this, your body will not be able to stand it." Originally, they spent a lot of effort on the road last night, and because they didn't sleep all night because they took care of Xiao Fangzhuo, they must be tired now.

"Okay, I know, I'll go rest later, but if you have any action, remember to call me, I'm not familiar with life here, I don't worry about you going out alone."

Hearing Cang Changfeng's advice, Liu Ci couldn't help but smile: "I'm not a three-year-old child now, don't worry, I'm measured, you should go to sleep now, otherwise when we do business, you will definitely be listless." Liu Ci said as he pushed him into the room.

Cang Changfeng was a little helpless, but there was no way, he was indeed a little tired now, and told Liu Ci again: "You must call me when you go out." ”

Liu Ci didn't pay any attention to him, and after pushing her into the room, he brought the door up by the way.

It's impossible for her not to act, and now that they are all resting, she can take this time to inquire about the news first, and it will be more convenient to collect information when the time comes.

When Liu Ci was just about to go out, he met the tall sister who came back from outside, and when she saw Liu Ci preparing to go out, she frowned and asked, "Where are you going to go?" Is your companion alright? ”

"They're still resting, and I'm going to take this time to take a look outside."

"It snowed heavily at dawn, and now the road outside is not easy to walk, so if you are fine, don't go out." After the tall sister finished speaking, she walked inside with the basket on her back.

Liu Ci looked at the scene outside, the road is indeed not very easy to walk, but if you want to know the information, you don't necessarily have to go outside to understand, isn't there just someone in this home who can understand?

Thinking like this, Liu Ci followed behind Sister Gao, and when she took off the basket, he stepped forward to help, looking at the bark inside, Liu Ci couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister Gao, what are you doing with these?" ”

"This year's drought has caused all the crops in the field to die, almost no grain has been harvested, and this is the only thing I can eat now in the cold winter."

Liu Ci was also a little surprised to hear this, she did notice that the weather was dry this year, but because they had been collecting information in the township for a while recently, they had not come into contact with the affairs of the village, so they did not expect that this year's weather would make the people who grow crops like this.

Liu Ci continued to ask, "Could it be that all the people in the village eat this?" ”

"It's already good to have this to eat, and now many families don't even have this to eat, if I hadn't run away today and found a tree that hadn't been peeled, I wouldn't have had these harvests."

Sister Gao's tone was a little relaxed, obviously quite satisfied with today's harvest, but these words made Liu Ci couldn't help frowning.

Shangning Village is very special compared to other villages, because it is far away from the town, and there are no other connected villages around, so the daily life supply is completely self-sufficient, and other villages may be able to get relief from the town in time, but the situation in Shangning Village is not so good.

"Sister Gao, take the liberty of asking, is there a village chief in Shangning Village?"

"Village chief, what village chief?"

"It's the one who runs the village in charge."

Hearing Liu Ci's explanation, Sister Gao seemed to remember something, and immediately said indifferently: "It seems that there was indeed such a village chief in the past, who was sent down from the town, but he was young and vigorous, and he felt that this place was too poor, so he left later." ”

Hearing this, Liu Ci couldn't help but be a little speechless, has this village been so poor that the village chief has run away?

"Is there anyone in the village who can talk to them now?"

Hearing Liu Ci's words, Sister Gao thought for a while, and then said: "There is no one, every household in the village knows each other, there are only twenty families in total, and any important things are discussed." ”

Liu Ci originally wanted to follow the previous method to collect information, but he didn't expect that there was no one who could lead this village, but even so, because this village is relatively small and there are not many households, so from this aspect, their work is not so difficult, and Zhao Fangcai said that everyone knows each other, does Sister Gao know all this information?

Thinking of this, Liu Ci rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and asked Sister Gao, "Sister Gao, I have a question now, I wonder if you can tell me?" ”

Sister Gao originally answered Liu Ci's words honestly, but after a while, she also realized that something was wrong.

He looked at Liu Ci a little strangely and said, "Aren't you just passing by here?" Why are you so curious about the village? ”
