In the afternoon, the women and girls stirred the mustard heads, which had been squeezed three times, with spice powder and paprika, and then put them in jars and sealed them.

After that, the cabbage is cut into shreds, and after the water is also squeezed dry, it is put on a clean bamboo sieve and taken outside to dry......

After all this, the sun is about to set.

The villagers learned the trade and got the meal tickets, and they all went home happily.

The fourth aunt looked at the neatly arranged jars, a plate of shredded cabbage, and the sausages that were still drying, and felt very satisfied.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: This is probably because I don't panic when I have food in my pocket...... Hehe, on days like this, I really wake up laughing when I dream......

That night, Jiang Yu closed his notes, walked to the big stone at the door and sat down as usual, letting go of his senses to patrol the area around the mountain pass.

After a while, I didn't notice anything unusual, so I went back to the house and went to sleep.

Not long after she fell asleep, two heads poked out on the hillside southeast of the village......

It was Lao Liu and the bearded man, and a few little minions were still not far behind them.

There are many wild beasts in this mountain forest, and if they leave them alone, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen, so even if they will be held back, they have to take them with them.

Fortunately, they also consciously took root behind them obediently and did not cause trouble for them.

"My mother, when did so many houses pop up here." The bearded man's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

By the moonlight, he could also see the neat farmland in the col and the terraced rice fields on the hillside, "This doesn't look like bandits, but like a serious village......

"I don't know if it's bandits, but I'm sure this is no ordinary village." Lao Liu opened his mouth and said, "Didn't you notice that there seem to be a lot of lanterns in this village?" ”

"That's really ...... It's so strange, it's so late, why are you lighting so many lanterns? Do you want to illuminate the ghosts? No one is watching, not afraid of fire! ”

"That means someone must be watching...... Let's walk around the village......"

A few people didn't go far before they found a team of people patrolling at the edge of the forest, there were not many people, and there were only a dozen people in a team, but they couldn't stand the team!

They only walked around for a small half circle, and they found four teams.

When the patrol had gone far, they walked a little further and found a plank.

A wooden stick was stuck in the ground, and the plank was nailed to the stick, which stood out in the woods, and what was written on the board......

The bearded man looked left and right, and couldn't understand what was written on it, so he could only scratch his head and say, "Lao Liu, do you recognize the words on it?" ”

Lao Liu looked at the bearded man speechlessly: I don't know you or not?

Of course, the bearded man knew, he just subconsciously asked, and then he asked a few little minions behind him, and none of them knew how to read.

"Forget it, love what words you want."

As he spoke, the bearded man was about to go around the plank, muttering in his mouth, "I don't know what planks to stand, and I still write, so I don't believe they all know ......."

You must know that they are such a big cottage in Dahua Mountain, and those who have read books seriously are only one of them, and there are few people who can recognize a few words.

The bearded man was engaged, but he didn't notice that a team of escorts was walking this way......

Seeing that they were about to be discovered, fortunately, Lao Liu reacted quickly and quickly took them to hide.

The sound of the branches crossing his body made Zhang Tao, the leader of the team, pause, "Did you hear any sounds?" ”

The others also stopped to listen, then shook their heads, "No." ”

Zhang Tao listened carefully for a while, didn't find any movement, and shook his head, "Forget it, it should be some kind of small animal running over, let's go." ”

After Zhang Tao and the others walked away, Lao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary village was so tightly guarded, if it was just him, it would be easy to sneak in, but now, ...... Lao Liu glanced at the few oil bottles that followed behind him, and sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, let's go back to the cottage first, report the situation here to the big boss, and see what the big boss says."

The bearded man was still unsatisfied, "Huh? This is going back? Why don't you catch someone and ask? "He hasn't had enough of it......

The bearded man still wanted to fight for it, but he was dragged away by Lao Liu without saying anything......

The knife and they watched this scene in amazement, and only came back to their senses after half a ring, and hurriedly followed.

What they didn't know was that they didn't come forward, but they were lucky.

If they take a few more steps, they may step on the wild boar traps buried by the villagers......

This is used by the villagers to prevent wild boars, worried that some villagers will be injured by mistake, so they deliberately set up a wooden plank, writing: There is a trap ahead! Please detour!

Although not everyone can understand the words on it, everyone knows why this wooden board is erected, so naturally they will not approach it stupidly.

What Lao Liu didn't know was that not long after they left, Zhang Tao, who was more and more worried about it, returned to check it out again.

Fortunately, Lao Liu was cautious and covered up their traces before leaving, plus the moonlight was blocked by the canopy of the trees, and the brightness of the lanterns was limited, so Zhang Tao didn't notice anything abnormal......

After Lao Liu and the others left, they hurried overnight and did not return to the cottage until dawn......

At this time, Yang Shaoqing was eating breakfast in his room.

Yang Shaoqing sat at the table with a leisurely face, snoring and drinking porridge in one hand and holding a meat bun in the other.

This meat bun is a new popular food in Fucheng, and it is said that it came from the north, and it is his favorite recently.

Yang Shaoqing took a bite of porridge and a mouthful of buns, and when he was eating happily, someone outside the door came to report: "The big boss, Uncle Liu and the fifth master are back." ”

Yang Shaoqing was stunned, so fast?

As soon as he thought about it, a bearded voice came from outside, "Big boss, hurry up, come out, there's something big!" ”

The bearded man hurried to the door, but stopped at the door and did not enter the house rashly.

Everyone in the cottage knows that the big boss doesn't like others to enter his house at will.

Now the whole cottage, except for the big boss himself, only the flower aunt in the kitchen can enter this house to help the big boss clean up.

Even the bearded man could only obediently be at the door, urging in a loud voice, "Big boss, are you up?" ”

Ben was expecting them to stay out for two more days and be quiet and quiet, but they came back so soon...... Yang Shaoqing expressed regret.

However, if there is really anything important, Uncle Liu will not squeak.

As for what the bearded man said about something big, he knew it too well, and the translation was: "There's something to do!" ”

Listening to the urging outside, Yang Shaoqing sighed resignedly, stuffed the last mouthful of buns into his mouth, and swallowed the two mouthfuls of porridge at the bottom of the bowl......
