When the eldest sister-in-law said this, Xiaoya was also listening.

He stole a glance at Wei Jin's expression and turned to go about his own business.

At night, he took out the jade bone flute again, hesitated for a while but still didn't blow it, and was about to put it away when he heard a little unusual movement.

"You really don't want to go back?"

A faint voice sounded, and Little Fang's fingers tightened for a moment, then let go.

"How did you find it?"

"Will you not come to me, will I not come to you?"

There was no light, just a little starlight, and Xiao Fang looked at the window. There was a man standing there, with a familiar face, but it seemed like a world away.

"This is not the place to talk, you go back first, tomorrow morning in the woods outside the town, I will find a way to find you."

The man was not in a hurry, nodded and did not rush to leave, but looked at the room, shook his head and chuckled before leaving.

After he left, Xiaoya stood by the window and listened for a while, but did not notice any movement, and then closed the window and went up. Bed to sleep.

The next morning was a routine day to buy firewood. This matter has always been the responsibility of Xiaoya. The firewood sellers live on the edge of the forest, a total of three, mainly responsible for providing firewood to the Zhangcun workshop, and they also provide firewood from the Weijia flour shop, which is transported once every three days, and Xiaoya borrows the workshop's mule cart to pull it.

When they arrived at the empty dam outside the three gates, Xiaoya gestured to the other party, saying that he wanted to go into the forest.

The other party didn't suspect anything, he just thought that Xiaoya was going to be convenient, and smiled to reassure him that he would soon be able to load the firewood for him.

After entering the deep jungle, Xiaoya looked left and right, and then whispered the word "come out".

It is estimated that because he has not spoken for a long time, his voice is hoarse and low, with a dryness.

"Little grandpa, what are you doing here? Why not contact us? ”

The man had been following Xiaoya last night, and as soon as he appeared, he hurriedly asked questions.

"The mother and son used medicine on me, I was powerless to resist before, and I finally found a chance to escape, I originally wanted to contact you, but something happened, so I stayed."

After Xiaoya said a few words, his voice was a little better.

"You leave two people to lurk in secret, and you bring the others back. Tell Brother Qi, I still have something to do, and I am not in a hurry to go back for the time being. ”

"Anything else? What's up? Are you really going to like that village girl? ”

Xiao Yayin glanced at the man suspiciously: "Don't talk nonsense." She is my savior, and if you talk nonsense, I will cut out your tongue. ”

"Okay, okay, I won't say it. But I can't go back like this, Seventh Brother has to kill me. Why don't I stay and let Daikin take someone back to report the news first? ”

"No, you have to go back." Xiaoya sank his face, "That mother and son still have a back hand." They contacted the Nanban tribe, those barbarians are ready to move in the mountains, don't you go back to the town, do you really think that the Zhennan Gong can be suppressed? ”

Speaking of the three words "Zhennan Gong", a trace of hatred flashed on Xiaoya's face.

"They contacted the Nanban tribe?" The originally frivolous tone became low, and the man faded instantly. Go frivolous, "Does the little grandfather have any evidence?" ”

"The poison in my house came from the Southern Barbarians, but I was lucky enough to meet a master who helped me solve most of it, and the rest is fine. In addition, the Wei family and several other families in the north have sent many children of the clan to the south in the past two years, and I suspect that they are planning something, and they also need to lurk and observe. You go back and tell Brother Qi truthfully, and he will know what to do. ”

"No, how can you be poisoned if you don't solve it? Brother Seven will kill me. ”

Xiaoya's face sank: "Do you listen to me?" ”

The other party was stunned for a moment, nodded aggrievedly and left.

Realizing that the time spent was not short, and it was not good to continue to stay, Xiaoya rubbed his face, reined in the momentum he unconsciously emitted, and walked out of the forest. Two wild ginger plants were also dug up on the way.

"Brother Xiaoya, it's all tied. Can I take your car to town? ”

It was a half-grown child who spoke, carrying a basket with something he didn't know what to do.

Little Tooth nodded, pulled the boy into the car, whipped his whip, and drove the mule cart to the town.

After going back to unload the firewood, and returning the mule cart to the past, Xiaoya was busy and began to collect the firewood accumulated in the yard.

The whole firewood must be stacked against the wall, otherwise it is easy to accumulate ground air and become damp. Scattered firewood was also collected and stacked next to the stove. He's done these things very easily now, and it hasn't taken half an hour to clean up the whole yard.

"Xiaoya, the day after tomorrow, you go to borrow Uncle Zhang's mule cart and go to Teacher Dabao's place. I'm about to prepare things for the festival, I'll go to the county seat tomorrow to buy it, and you can send it over when the time comes, and bring Dabao back by the way. ”

Xiao Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded.

Wei Jin glanced up at him and looked up and down for a while: "You've grown again, right?" The hem of the trousers is a little shorter. Ming'er, I'll buy you a few ready-made ones, change them first, and then sew some clothes for you after the holidays. ”

Wei Jin has never treated his younger siblings harshly in these aspects, and he also treats Xiaoya equally.

Clothes can cost a few dollars, and the time she sews clothes is used for business, and she can buy I don't know how many sets of money she earns.

Xiaoya used to refuse, but now he is used to Wei Jin's style of doing things, so he only nodded and smiled, and then raised two fingers.

"Two sets? Okay, the clothes in the county don't look good either. Wait until the next time I go to the state capital to buy a good one. ”

She ripped through the notebook next to her and jotted down what she had to do.

Now there are too many things and complicated, and it is always easy to forget what is going on, and after writing it down, it can also let Sihuaer also learn to read and take care of housework, killing two birds with one stone.

At this moment, several people came to the door, dressed not like locals, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they asked for a lot of pots and helmets and cakes, saying that they would take them away and eat them on the road.

Xiaoya looked up and saw the leader of the man, and the other party smiled and bared out a mouthful of white teeth.

"You're here to buy tempeh, too?"

"No, I passed by here, and I heard that your hot powder pot helmet is delicious, so I came here. By the way, I saw that there is a sugar mill in your town, and the business of this sugar shop doesn't seem to be very good? ”

The sugar mill was made by the mayor of the town, or bought from Wei Jin, but for some reason, the mayor didn't seem to have any plans to make it bigger, and the daily output was only for a small amount of purchase from the surrounding counties and villages.

Wei Jin is not without curiosity about the mayor's plans, but the recipes have been sold to others, and people don't need to explain what they want to do, plus there are many things in their own house, and over time, they actually forget that there is still this industry in the town.

This group of people was more curious about the sugar mill than the tempeh shop, after all, they said that they came from the south, and there were fewer people eating tempeh there, and there were more people who liked sweets.

Seeing that they were very interested in brown sugar, Wei Jin thought about it, pointed in the direction of the mayor's house and asked them to talk directly to the mayor.
