After Su Rongrong and Wen Gong stayed in the mountains for a few days, the two of them decided to go down the mountain.

It's just not decided where to go now.

Before, Bai Chenyang said that they were going to Beijing to take the exam, and they had already been confirmed. It was deliberately said by the people of the prefectural government, the purpose of which was to lure them out.

Wen Gong knew that the incident was fake, and he was a little depressed in his heart, but he quickly pretended not to care.

"It's impossible for us to go back to the village now, and the county magistrate may be sending people to look for us." Su Rongrong looked at Wen Gong and said.

It had been a few hours since they descended, but they didn't know where they were supposed to go.

After thinking about it for a while, the two decided to go somewhere else first.

I don't know if it's because I've been more diligent in running the mountains recently, and the two of them have walked around the mountains several times unconsciously.

But that mountain was not the same mountain they had lived in before, but somewhere else.

After looking at the sky, it turned out that I didn't know when, the sun had already set.

"Wen Gong, we have to find a place to live quickly, otherwise it's getting late, and we will have to sleep on the streets."

From the mountain to the inn, distance is a matter of consideration.

"We've been to this mountain before, and it was the one when it flooded. I remember there should be a bandit's den nearby, why don't we go and borrow them for a night? ”

The bandit den that Su Rongrong said was the bandit den that kidnapped Lin Guo before and later took her in.

Wen Gong agreed with Su Rongrong, and the two of them immediately walked over.

By the time they reached the gate of the bandits' den, it was already late.

There were no torches around, and the air was cool at night, so there was no one outside.

"I guess they're all eating at home." At night, Su Rongrong and Wen Gong, neither of them could see whose face clearly, so they could only rely on their feelings to see each other.

Su Rongrong knocked on the door, and it took a long time before someone came to open the door for them.

The man who came was a subordinate from the bandits' den, and before he came out, he was scolding inside the house.

"Knock knock, knock a ghost ball, knock, who will appear in the middle of the night, aren't you a starving ghost, smelling the wine of our cottage, and running away from our bandits' den?"

The person who came was carrying a torch, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Su Rongrong and them.

I was so frightened that I threw away all the torches in my hand, and then immediately picked them up.

"Miss Su, it turned out to be you. Why did you get here on this big night? ”

The man told them to go in first, it was cold outside, and it would be warm to go back and eat something.

The man walked in front of Su Rongrong and them, and happily ran to the bandit leader and said, "Boss, Miss Su has gotten along with her old friend." ”

"Why did they come over this big night?" The bandit leader touched his hair, and then he saw two people entering.

Wen Gong told the bandit leader about their situation, hoping to stay with them for a night.

"Well, you will live in the same house tonight. In fact, you don't have to be so polite, you can stay as long as you want. ”

Then let them eat, and it happened that the two of them did not eat because they were in a hurry.

During the meal, several of them talked about the previous events.

The topic was first posted by the bandit leader.

"Haven't you two been helping the people build canals so that the big guys can live a good life?"

Hearing what the bandit leader said, the two of them nodded, didn't they just go to help because of the people? Later, because of these things, he is now hated by the county order.

"You don't know, there were no floods before, and the price of water should be reduced. After all, the great flood was everywhere, and if you are thirsty, you can drink water from a ditch, and you will not die of thirst. ”

After saying this, the bandit leader did not continue.

He looked at Su Rongrong's expressions, and when he saw their puzzled eyes looking at him, he himself smiled first.

"It's also to blame you for being far away, and you've been arrested by the county order recently, no wonder you don't know."

They knew that the bandit leader wanted to say something, and the two of them listened quietly.

"But I didn't expect that the price of water sold outside now has not only not decreased, but has risen."

Brought it up? Su Rongrong has been busy with her own affairs recently, and she hasn't noticed the situation outside at all.

It's not that the water source should be continuously sensed when there is a big flood, why is it mentioned again?

"Isn't it? I don't know who said it, but there were dead people's bodies in the great flood, and there were domestic animals that were washed away by the flood before, and the water was full of bacteria and dirty, and whoever drank it would get sick. ”

The knights do have this situation, but it should be in the minority.

"If the poor people in the family are poor, they will also buy water?" Su Rongrong was puzzled by this, after the major flood incident, there were already few people with food reserves in the family, and it was a problem to eat, where could they still consume high water bills.

"The water seller is also a human spirit, knowing that there is no money in the people's homes, he watches the sale, and the price of water is sold according to the actual situation in the people's homes."

"For the rich in the family, the water will be sold at a higher price, and the poor will take the things in the family to pay for it, and the price will be cheap."

Listening to what he said, the merchant who bought the water was still a veteran.

Su Rongrong couldn't help but think of the gang of people who sold water when she and Wen Gong went to the countryside to visit Wen's mother for the last time.

Could it be that before, the people of the county order didn't catch them all and let them get up again.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Bai Chenyang's various reactions when she first saw Bai Chenyang, and when she fought with or related to those people later.

In the past, because he didn't have any suspicions, he felt that he was normal, and he didn't think badly in his heart.

After the face-to-face incident, they saw that Bai Chenyang was a person, and they had a lot of reason to suspect each other.

"I just want to tell you about these things. After all, it's rare for you to come and spend a night in our cottage. ”

The bandit leader just said casually, just have fun and let them listen to it.

Who doesn't know that the county order is arresting them everywhere now, is it possible that the bandit leader is still eager for Su Rongrong to overthrow the county order now?

"Come, come, drink, drink." The bandit leader gave Wen Gong a glass of wine, touched a glass with him, and then asked Su Rongrong to eat vegetables.

The two men chatted with the bandit leader until after eight o'clock in the evening, and then returned to their room, and as soon as they returned to the room, they began to discuss things.

"Just now he said that the price of water was raised, and I suspect that Bai Chenyang did it." Su Rongrong explained his suspicions to him.
