Chapter 396: Can a Child Deliver a Letter Successfully?
"Okay, go and come back quickly, stay safe." A child still has such courage, Chu Lingyi is proud of him and hopes that everything will go well for him on this trip.
Others don't understand why they choose a child, not to mention that they can't do it physically, and even whether the direction can be clear is a problem.
These are exactly what Chu Lingyi is worried about, but it is easier for other adults to expose the target. However, Chu Lingyi still firmly believes that this child can do what Chu Lingyi requires.
Mu Li had already arrived at the neighboring village, and he took a special look at it, and there was no tail behind him. It's okay that no one is tracking.
Mu Li saw an eldest lady, so he went up and asked where there was food for sale. The eldest lady looked at Mu Li, "You want to buy food?" ”
"yes, I'm going to buy food. Auntie, do you know where to sell? ”
The eldest lady glanced at Mu Li a few times and hurriedly left, as if Mu Li was a man-eating monster.
What's going on? Didn't the village chief say that there are sales here? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?
Mu Li wiped his face and asked the others where there was food to sell, but their reactions were exactly the same as the eldest lady just now.
It's all here, Mu Li can't go home empty-handed, no matter what, he has to find a way to buy something back.
This time, Mu Li directly took out the silver and gave it to an uncle, and then asked where there was food to sell.
The uncle took the silver and put it in Mu Li's ear. "The people who have just come to Fuda have already robbed everyone of their food. Even if there is food, it will not be sold to you easily. ”
"What kind of people from Fuda have been here?"
Mu Li really thought that Fuda was hiding in the mansion because he was afraid of them, and he didn't dare to take action, but he didn't expect him to turn the direction to other villages and loot other villages.
"Girl, I advise you to hurry up."
"Thank you, sir."
It was impossible for Mu to leave, unless she could buy food. It's just that the old man is right, who will be willing to take out their own food at this time? Wouldn't it attract the eyes of others?
Mu Li didn't dare to announce it loudly outside, saying that she wanted to buy food at a high price. Isn't it misleading people to think that he is a blessed person?
Mu Li continued to walk forward, the street was empty, not even the people who set up stalls, I am afraid that after the people from Fuda came, they had already been swept away.
This made Mu Li worried.
Mu Li, who was forced to be helpless, had to knock on the door one by one, but no one paid attention to Mu Li. But Mu Li didn't give up, so he couldn't go back to see the village chief and Chu Lingyi empty-handed.
Finally, there is a family that is willing to open the door for Mu Li, Mu Li saw that this is not the eldest lady she saw before, she actually lives here. Seeing the eldest lady Mu Li, she didn't have much hope, thinking that she would close the door in the next second.
The eldest lady looked out of the door and quickly dragged Mu Li in. "Girl, I still have a little food here. If you want, you can, take a little. ”
"Auntie, how embarrassing is this." Mu Li never thought that the one who was willing to sell him food was actually the lady just now.
The eldest lady lives here alone, and she doesn't need much food on weekdays, and Fuda has to come to sweep from time to time, so she doesn't dare to eat, and she really can't buy it anymore.
"You take it, I thought you were Fuda, so I had a bad temper with you just now."
Mu Li didn't have much left in the rice bowl of the eldest mother, and he lived here alone, if he bought the eldest lady what to eat. Although the eldest lady said that she could buy it again if she was gone, Mu Li always felt embarrassed.
Mu Li asked the eldest lady if she knew if other people had extra food at home, Mu Li could buy it elsewhere, and leave it for the eldest lady to eat by herself.
"Girl, just take it, the people of Fuda have just left, and now everyone's house is empty."
The eldest lady also watched Mu Li knock on the door from door to door to buy food, so she was willing to give half of what she had left. If there is no real shortage of food, they will not knock on the door from door to door.
"Thank you, auntie, I really don't know how to thank you, you are life-saving food."
Mu Li wanted to give the eldest mother a bag of silver taels, and the eldest mother shirked not to say that she usually had no other expenses alone, or so much silver. Hidden in the house, it will also become the bag of Fuda at that time.
Mu Li asked the eldest lady why the situation in this village was different from that of Shuile Village. It's also under the control of Fuda, why is the situation worse in Shuile Village?
"Is that so?"
It turned out that it was because of Lingshui Village, where the eldest mother was located, and the village chief and Fuda were old acquaintances, so they started lightly. No, the villagers of Lingshui Village can't survive. In this way, Lingshui Village is a blessing in misfortune.
The bag of grain in Mu Li's hand can be described as weighing a thousand catties, it was the eldest mother who pulled it out of her rice jar and gave it to Mu Li, this love Mu Li will always remember in his heart, and he will return it when he has the opportunity in the future.
"Auntie, thank you for your food."
The village chief's wife and children were still waiting for this ration, and Mu Li couldn't stay long, so he said goodbye to the eldest mother.
As soon as Mu Li walked out of the entrance of Beishui Village, he saw that Fuda's men had turned back again. Mu Li hurriedly hid, but fortunately he was not discovered. It's just that they've already swept once, so why are they coming again? These gang of people who have suffered a thousand knives really don't have a good thing.
Mu Li waited for Fuda's men to go away before coming out.
"Stop, where are you going? What's in your hand? ”
Mu Li was stunned for a moment, and slowly turned around, fortunately he was a person with a raw face. "I'll go back to my mother's house, here are the clothes." Mu Li deliberately pretended to be timid, wanting to confuse the past.
"Bring it to me and show it."
How could Mu Li show him? Once he finds out, won't he reveal his identity, and if he wants to get out of this Lingshui Village at that time, I'm afraid it will be impossible. Besides, Chu Lingyi is not by his side at this time, if he really fights and knocks over the food in his hand, wouldn't it be a pity?
"It's all ordinary clothes, what's there to see." Mu Li said and took out all the silver in his pocket and gave it to him. "I hope you smile at a little heart, but I'm in a hurry to get away at this moment, you see ......"
The man took Mu Li's silver and weighed it a few times. "Go, hurry up, don't let me see you."
Mu Li understood that he just didn't want his accomplices to find out that he had accepted other people's money, so he hurried Mu Li away.
"Thank you, thank you." Mu Lilou tightened the burden in his hand, and hurried to Shuile Village, it was really a false alarm.
It's just that the people of Fuda came to Lingshui Village again for some reason, so they felt that they didn't have enough to loot and wanted to loot again. It's really hard for the villagers of Lingshui Village.
However, Mu Li didn't have time to think about these things at this time, and he had to deliver the food in his hand to the village chief's wife as soon as possible.
Chu Lingyi stood at the entrance of Shuile Village, looking in the direction of Lingshui Village.
