Chapter 152: Fire in the Night

Because I had to go out the next day, I didn't do business at home that day.

After breakfast early in the morning, the brothers left home together and went out of the village, and as agreed, they went to inform each family.

The people who will be notified are all close to the family, and others have more mouths, believe it or not is secondary, and if you don't appreciate it, you can't turn your head and scold you.

There is no need for Gu Jia to worry about the affairs of the family, because seeing the current form, the shopkeeper Tong secretly hoarded some food in case of emergency.

He was not worried that the situation in the fields would improve after the rain, but if that was the case, it would be better, and he would rather live in peace than have any natural or man-made disasters.

Food or something, when there is a famine, there is a solution to the famine, under normal circumstances, there is a normal solution, but it really doesn't work, and the grain can be sold over there before the blockade of the Yama Weir.

In the heart of the shopkeeper Tong, everything was calculated, and occasionally, he would talk to Gu Jia, and Gu Jia agreed with this.

On Zhao's shopkeeper's side, Xu started to be a little irritable because of the previous incident, and recently, he was a little absent-minded.

The business in the store was business as usual, but he didn't feel anything about the mood of the people in and out of town.

It's as if it doesn't matter if there is a famine or not, it has nothing to do with him.

There was a guy in the shop, reminding him to stock up on some food, even if it wasn't to make money, but to think about it when there was a famine.

However, Shopkeeper Zhao didn't seem to hear it, he was still absent-minded every day, and the more he was like this, the tighter Gu Jia stared at him.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and Changjiu's business here is getting better and better because Gu Jia has given him more new tricks.

But everyone's hearts are not very steady, because until now, no rain has fallen.

Shi Xu's body has recovered well after more than three months of recuperation, and Wei Yi gave instructions to let him change the previous person back when he is completely recovered.

Speaking of which, he has been in contact with Gu Jia for a lot of time and knows a lot of things, and compared with the other one, it is more convenient for him to appear in front of Gu Jia.

Shi Xu is naturally willing, these days of cultivation, Gu Jia often comes to see him and brings him a lot of things.

Some are new product trials, and some are idle and thinking about it themselves.

It's not that Shi Xu is regarded as an experimental object, all of them have been tried by Gu Jia himself, and he has also eaten them for others, and after being recognized, he gave them to Shi Xu to taste.

After knowing that, Shi Xu would take over the matter of protecting her again, and Gu Jia was still very happy.

"Xiao Gu, you said that the surname Zhao has not moved, was it because you were scared before, so you gave up?"

In the past three months, Shopkeeper Zhao has been really quiet, so quiet that Shopkeeper Tong feels unusual.

In the past, whenever there was an opportunity, Shopkeeper Zhao would definitely block him, but now......

It was as if he had never known him, and he never bothered him again.

"Who knows, I'm afraid it's the calm before the storm." Gu Jia responded that she had thought about this matter in the past few days, and she always felt uneasy in her heart.

Perhaps, it comes from a woman's sixth sense.

Shopkeeper Tong didn't know that she was a girl, she knew it herself, although the age of this body was not very old, but her actual age was not too young.

has experienced a lot of things in her previous life, and Gu Jia understands that the more a dog bites, the less it barks.

"By the way, shopkeeper, who knows where you hoard food?" Suddenly thinking of something, Gu Jia looked at the shopkeeper Tong and asked.

"Where to hoard food? Don't worry, they're all old guys, you can trust them. ”

There are not many people who know that he is hoarding grain, and when Gu Jia asked him to hoard grain, he deliberately said that the less people know, the better.

People who know must not have any habits, such as drinking, fun, etc.

Secondly, the people used must only use trustworthy old people, and the kind of people who usually don't like to talk much.

Shopkeeper Tong understood what Gu Jia meant, so he did everything she said.

"In this way, except for those who are in charge of guarding the grain depot, you can find some family members and watch in the dark, and it is best to prepare some water as soon as possible, in the place where the grain depot is placed."

"Prepare water?" Looking at it, he can understand that he doesn't think it's necessary to prepare water.

"Yes, prepare water, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, although you are food, but once a fire is burned, food will not be food."

"I think it's better for you to be more prepared than not to be prepared, and who knows what might happen next?"

When she said this, Shopkeeper Tong thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he made preparations according to what Gu Jia said.

What the shopkeeper Tong didn't expect was that two or three days after the preparation, at night, someone suddenly smashed the door, and the shopkeeper Tong knew that someone had set fire to the grain depot.

Fortunately, I was prepared in advance and found it in time, and the loss was not large, otherwise, all the hoarded food would have to be burned, which is not only about money, but also about whether everyone can survive in the future.

Standing in the place where the grain was placed, looking at the burned place, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of the shopkeeper Tong.

He was very glad that he had listened to Gu Jia, otherwise...... The consequences are really unimaginable.

What he didn't expect was that the person who set the fire was exactly what he trusted, thinking that there would be absolutely no problem.

When I asked, I found out that he suddenly became involved in gambling and owed debts, so he was coerced, and if he didn't set fire, his whole family would die.

This made Shopkeeper Tong angry, it was too unexpected, and he felt more and more that his choice was right, if it wasn't for Gu Jia, he was afraid that he would ......

He didn't dare to think about the consequences.

When Gu Jia knew about this, it was already the morning of the next day, and the shopkeeper Tong found her and took her to the place where the grain was placed.

"Since there is one time, there may be a second time, so let's change the place where the shopkeeper places these grains."

"It's best to send someone to check bags and bags to see if there is any problem with the grain." Set fire to poison, this is something that people may do, in case the shopkeeper Zhao prepares with both hands, the fire fails, and the poison succeeds......

After that, there was really a famine, and instead of starving to death, he was poisoned, and the shopkeeper Tong would definitely die.

Even if the government didn't arrest him, he would be beaten to death.

Because of the fire before, for Shopkeeper Tong, Gu Jia's words were like a holy decree.

Although he had never seen the Holy Decree, he knew that it was always right to listen to Gu Jia's caution.

Gu Jia could think of it, and through Gu Jia's words, he could also think that for the sake of his own life and everyone's life, it would be more troublesome at this time, so it would be more troublesome.
