Chapter 68: No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat

The movement in Gaofeng City is too big.

Soon, the newly appointed county magistrate Wang Xinren organized a team of young and middle-aged people who survived in the city. Let them follow a few leaders appointed by him personally, and go directly to the surrounding villages.

Let them hurry up and collect all those valuable things.

So, from this day on, they set out.

They climbed over the mountains and reached one by one the landing points.

About a day later, they arrived at Wujia Village with only their own feet.

However, Wujia Village has long been flooded. Although the flood water had receded by this time, the place was covered with silt. The thatched houses, which were not sturdy, were all washed away.

And the fields in the fields, the rice that is about to grow and mature, have long been submerged and cleaned.

Now they're all dead.

Seeing that this village, like the villages that I had passed before, was bleak and uninhabited, Wang Xinren's eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law began to complain about their brother-in-law at this time.

"Brother, tell me, is my brother-in-law deliberately trying to toss us?"

"Look at this place, it's originally inhabited by a bunch of poor ghosts. Now that it's been washed away, what's left here? ”

"I saw that there was no place, it used to be Gongtian. It's all rice. And what has become of it now? The whole area is full of silt......"

Hearing his younger brother say such a thing, the eldest brother who had the heart and the city government spoke up at that time.

"Second brother, can you be more patient when you talk and do things?"

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat! As long as we work a little harder and find more ways to scrape a few times, we can still smash out a few taels of oil and water more or less! ”

"Why do you say that our brother-in-law can make a fortune when he becomes an official? Isn't it because we don't let go of every opportunity to get rich? ”

Hearing his eldest brother say this, his second brother Zhao Mingde couldn't help but refute it at that time.

"But,...... Big brother, this mosquito is too difficult to catch, right? ”

"Look at our team, we still have to eat and drink every day. Running to the mountain where this bird doesn't every day, when will it be a head? ”

"You see that the people in this place are generally yellow and thin, and the clothes they wear are empty. Some people looked like the skeleton. Didn't you pay attention to the fact that when we were sitting in that open space eating dry food, some of the people around us had green eyes! ”

When Zhao Mingde said this, he began to pat his chest.

"Big brother, think about it carefully, we have been busy for so long, when did we squeeze out the oil and water?"

"In my opinion, we should go back as soon as possible. There are no wealthy families here, and there are no rich people in the countryside, they are all a group of poor turtles living in the mountains, we run up and down the mountains every day, tired to death, but, so far, we haven't got a copper plate! ”

"So I thought, what we're doing is useless. The errand assigned by my brother-in-law is really too frustrating. ”

Zhao Mingde's eldest brother, Zhao Minghui frowned tightly when he saw his second brother, and said such a thing with a serious face, after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly nodded lightly.

Zhao Mingde saw him nodding, and his eyes were wide at that time.

"Brother, do you think the same way as me?"

"Brother~, I really think that the places in this ravine are all poor nests, and there is no oil and water to squeeze."

"You see, I've been doing business all these years without losing money. So I thought, we still have to hurry up and seize the opportunity, we will go back in a hurry, I will go to the field to buy some food, and quickly transport it to sell. ”

"At that time, won't I make a lot of money by selling my grain at a high price? This is better than us taking a lot of people and horses here!! ”

Hearing his second brother say this, Zhao Minghui was finally persuaded by him.

Zhao Minghui raised his hand and touched it gently, after the beard on his chin was removed, he suddenly turned his head and said seriously to his second brother.

"Second brother, I think what you said still makes some sense."

"We've been tired for a day or two,...... We'll take a break there now, and then we'll get back to it. ”

When he was lying on the ground, Zhao Minghui also whispered to his younger brother.

"Actually, I don't think we need to toss so much. But my brother-in-law always dislikes it, and there is too little oil and water in the county. Pulling cartloads of things out and transporting them out, he said that he had also received hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If you look at it some time ago, the one that was distributed to us was only 3,200 taels! ”

"I just married a little wife some time ago, and she wants to buy fat powder and clothes that are fashionable in the capital. She wants to eat well, drink well, play well, and sleep well every day, how can you say that the little silver my brother earns is enough? ”

Zhao Mingde heard his eldest brother complaining, so he subconsciously pouted.

He thinks that his eldest brother, it is all self-deprecating!

Who called his brother, greedy and lustful?

If he hadn't been greedy for spending, he would have saved a lot of money a long time ago.

While the two brothers were thinking about their own thoughts, some villagers who had moved to the mountains to live hid in the forest, nervously observing the movement here.

There are many bandits in the mountains.

Moreover, they tend to kill people without blinking.

After a regular raid on a village, they would kill all the people there and set fire to the corpses.

Some have seen the tragedy with their own eyes.

Therefore, the people in this area, whether they are from Wujia Village, or from Jiajialing and Wangjiatun, they will be particularly vigilant.

They are always worried that those outsiders who are born in their eyes will enter and leave their place and step on them.

After stepping on the point, their bandits will be well prepared, run to them, and attack them.

Since many villagers knew the importance of this matter, in less than two hours, the Wu family living in the cave soon learned that there was a suspicious team of people and horses parked in the area of Wujia Village.

In this regard, the people of the original Wujia Village, who had already lived in the bunker, began to discuss intensively who was coming.

If they are like them, they will also have the surname Wu. I came to visit relatives and friends. Well, these people have to meet with them no matter what.

If these people can't have a relationship with the Wu family and the eight poles.

Then, they must hide well. Don't let anyone else find out.

If it is discovered, it may lead to some trouble.
