The old woman who was the most able to speak in the past did not speak, and the whole table was silent in an instant, and only the sound of everyone eating remained.

As soon as the meal was finished, the old woman hurriedly instructed her son, "Son, didn't this girl say that she was in a hurry, why don't you hurry up and send her there, if it's too late, what if you can't catch up with Heyuan County." ”

"Oh, oh, okay, right away", Wu Xinlin nodded in response.

After what happened before, he finally realized why Lang Jing had that remark, but it was a pity that he couldn't look at people's eyes before, which almost embarrassed her.

Fortunately, the other party was witty and invisibly resolved it.

"I'm sorry, my mother, she's also unintentional."

When the two came to the outside of the county office, Wu Xinlin's face was full of apologies.

But seeing Xue Langjing waving his hand indifferently, "It's okay, isn't it just two hundred taels of silver, if you don't have it, there will be no one, let's earn it slowly, haha." ”

"Haha, Lang Jing is really atmospheric", Wu Xinlin also laughed, it seems that the other party really didn't take it to heart.

After laughing, he asked, "Is Lang Jing still working in the city today?" ”

"Of course", why should we disrupt our itinerary because of unrelated people.

Wu Xinlin said, "Then at lunchtime, the eldest brother asked your sister-in-law to prepare the meal and send it to you, it will be regarded as our reparation, how about it?" ”

Hearing him say this, Xue Langjing thought of the meal that made her eat extremely satisfying, could it be that she really didn't want to miss it when she encountered such a good craftsmanship and the biggest food in the world.

After thinking about it, he agreed, "Cheng, but I'll pay for the meal, we're principled people." Also, you can bring it to me after you finish eating, so we won't delay your meal, right? ”

"Okay."

Bidding farewell to Wu Xinlin, Xue Langjing walked in the direction where the dock was located.

There were noticeably more people working on the docks than she had met before.

But think about it, instead of planting some food in the village that is likely to be robbed, it is better to come to the town or the city to work, and those bandits will not dare to rob here.

Along the way, she also discovered that there were many people working in the city.

Alas, with such fierce competition, it seems that her salary today may be greatly reduced.

It's not easy to make money!

When it comes to looting, in fact, the people are not stupid, knowing that those bandits often come to loot, why do they insist on growing food that is destined to be robbed? Isn't this a cheap bargain for nothing?

In fact, after harvesting the grain, they would hide some of it in advance in the hidden caves in the mountains.

Otherwise, according to the posture of the bandits who are eager to scrape off a layer of ground every time they grab grain, the money and grain are all robbed, and what will the people eat and drink in the future? How to survive?

Isn't it just the money and food that was originally hidden in the mountains or hidden cellars?

Unlike other places, the bandits in this village are all refugees from other places, and the people of this county can't get in even if they want to, because those bandits don't trust them at all and won't accept them.

And the villagers in this county and the bandits have a common enmity, even the second-rate people in the village who are disgusted by the villagers will not want to join the bandits.

Because of this, those bandits do not know where they hide their money and food, and no one will tell them.

Of course, it is obviously impossible to hide it all, it would be too fake, and the bandits will not be stupid to such an extent.

It is the people who grasp this degree on their own.

But where is this degree so easy to grasp, everyone wants to hide a little more, and is unwilling to hand it over.

In the end, it was up to the elders with the highest prestige in each village, as well as the Lizheng, who said that they would hide as much as they wanted.

Besides, these bandits are all from the lowest level of homeless people, and their eyelids are also shallow, and they don't know the truth of sustainable development.

I never wonder if I would starve to death if I robbed the people of their food, and whether they would be able to grow food for their own looting in the coming year.

On the contrary, because they can grab money and food every time, the looting is even more unscrupulous, and they only know that they are robbed in waves.

Fortunately, these are all things of the past, and when Wu County ordered the soldiers to take these bandit villages one by one, the people will no longer have such scruples.

Come to think of it, she really did a great thing!

She had to make a good note of this in her travelogue.

Well, let's get down to business.

Today's work is really not very good, especially when there are many people, there is less work, and she alone robbed more than ten people of their jobs, and she was the only woman present, so she was naturally hostile again.

Therefore, when she heard someone call her to eat, all the workers cheered and sent her away.

The cheers almost made her think that she was quite loved by everyone, if it weren't for the way everyone looked at her horizontally and vertically before, she would have believed it.

In the end, Xue Langjing took his small cloth bag to the steward to settle the wages in the 'love' of everyone.

After taking the money and luggage, she left with the Du family, who was waiting there, that is, Wu Xinlin's wife, and found a quieter place to have lunch.

After taking the food box, Xue Langjing thanked the other party and started eating.

Du's craftsmanship really didn't have to be said, she didn't want to leave this place anymore, so she gave a thumbs up and praised the other party while eating, "The food cooked by Mrs. Sister-in-law is really delicious." ”

Her compliment instantly made Du Shi cover her mouth and chuckle, "If it's delicious, my sister will eat more, I brought several portions for my sister." ”

No, the food box brought by Du Shi is much larger than the ordinary food box, and it is a full box of food.

She took a cursory look, and there were at least five or six servings.

After eating a few bites, she couldn't help but ask the other party, "Can my sister-in-law have lunch?" ”

At this point in time, if she said that she had already eaten, it would be a little early, and if she said that she hadn't eaten yet, it would be a little late, and for a while, Xue Langjing really couldn't tell if the other party had eaten or not.

Although she asked Wu Xinlin to tell her to eat well and come back before.

I heard Du Shi reply, "I've eaten it, my sister can eat it herself." ”

"Oh."

Xue Langjing continued to bury her head in eating.

After a while, she suddenly heard Du Shi call her again, "Sister." ”

"Huh?" Xue Langjing looked up at her, waiting for her next step.

I saw that Du Shi pondered for a while, and then said leisurely, "My husband Jun is the only son in the family, and he has been passed down for three generations. ”

"Hmm", Xue Langjing seemed to vaguely understand what she wanted to express, but this was someone else's family matter, and she didn't take the initiative to get involved, so she only hummed.

I heard the other party continue, "Now my husband is twenty-six years old, and he still has no children under his knees, and I have fallen ill because my body was not well adjusted when I gave birth to Yao, and it is difficult to get pregnant. ”

Xue Langjing didn't know how to answer, so she just bowed her head and continued to eat.
