Chapter 177: The Disappearing Rice Grain
After Ling Feng and Mo Lingfeng left the Ling Mansion, Ling Feng did not return to the Mo Mansion, under her urging several times, Mo Lingfeng did not go back, and followed her all the time, she had no choice but to take him, so she simply let him follow.
"I'm worried about your injuries too."
"I know, don't worry, I'm used to it."
The two walked through the noisy streets, Ling Feng was full of thoughts about what birthday gift to give Mo Lingfeng, he was looking for her for her birthday for the first time, and he couldn't get two mouthfuls of food for others to pass away. Fortunately, she now has a silver ticket in her pocket, and she can finally afford to buy something valuable.
But looking at Mo Lingfeng, he doesn't seem to lack anything, especially the things outside his body that money can buy, how much he wants, what should he give him?
"You don't want to give me a birthday present, do you?" Mo Lingfeng guessed.
Is it that obvious? Mo Lingfeng instantly poked her heart, Ling Feng looked left and right, and denied: "It seems that you don't lack anything, I'm thinking about how to accumulate vitality quickly, last time I saved you, it only lasted a few days." ”
"I don't need you."
"Okay, didn't I let you follow me? How's it like to feel safer with me, right? ”
"Well, I feel safe in my heart, and when I see you, I feel safe."
Ling Feng suddenly remembered that when he first returned to Yang City some time ago, on the day he was about to assassinate the Seventh Prince, he had gone to the temple to ask for a peace charm, and he still had it with him at this time. She stopped, walked to a place where there were fewer people on the side of the road, took out the peace charm, and couldn't help but tie it around Mo Lingfeng's waist.
"Happy birthday to you, a birthday present."
"Looks like you don't think this thing can bless you, but it's really useless."
"Disgusted? Then I won't send it. Ling Feng looked up at him, and when he said this, he always felt that Mo Lingfeng felt that she was using this kind of little thing to perfunctory him, it was too shabby, he didn't want it, so she wouldn't give it away, so he untied it and prepared to take it away.
"It's been sent, how can there be any reason to take it back? I didn't say I hated it. ”
Mo Lingfeng took advantage of the situation to hold her hand and didn't let her take it off.
"Going to the temple to ask for these little things is just to seek psychological comfort, where would you really expect to turn evil into good fortune with a piece of talisman paper. However, I sincerely wish you that you can turn evil into good for the rest of your life, no matter in or out of your dreams, as a confidant, I will still remember you. ”
Ling Feng said sincerely.
"I know, it's enough to have your words." Mo Lingfeng's heart warmed, with a smile in his eyes, and the loneliness in his heart for many years seemed to disappear in an instant.
The two walked around the city a few times, and Ling Feng found that in recent days, the price of rice and meat had risen, and ordinary people were complaining.
After a little inquiry, I learned that this was due to the high price of rice, grain and livestock purchased by the Mexican government in the first half of the year, and many farmers sold their livestock and the rice they planted to the Mofu province.
As a result, the supply of food and meat in the market exceeds the demand, and the price naturally rises, and there is no momentum of price reduction.
"There are a lot of business contacts in my house, many of which are not taken care of by me, I have a lot of things, where do I have the leisure to take care of it."
The two sat in the teahouse, and Mo Lingfeng took a leisurely sip of tea while explaining.
Ling Feng naturally understood that what he said was the truth, Mo Lingfeng had almost lost his life several times, where would he handle the business dealings in the mansion carefully. Presumably, it was all taken care of by his cronies, but Mo Lingfeng was shirking his responsibility, even if he didn't handle it personally, he knew more or less.
"If you sell me rice, I will use it to help the poor people, do good deeds, and also accumulate vitality."
Ling Feng seized this opportunity, on the one hand, he was realistic and thought about himself. If it weren't for the accumulation of vitality, where would she care about such idle things, anyway, she would feed the whole family by herself and not be hungry.
"The rice and livestock that were bought are gone."
Mo Lingfeng suddenly said seriously.
"Mo Lingfeng, you're coaxing me to play, how did you disappear? You...... You just said that you don't know about these things, so you're going to slap yourself in the face now. ”
Ling Feng was quite skeptical about what he said, and Mo Lingfeng saw that she didn't believe it, so she explained again: "Really, when did I lie to you?" ”
"Have you lied to me less? This sentence is very familiar, and scumbags will say so. No three-year-old child will believe you. ”
Mo Lingfeng shook his head helplessly and told her what had happened.
Three months ago, Mofu did buy a large number of rice and livestock on the market, because of the huge quantity, so, the rice grain was put in the warehouse, all the livestock were slaughtered, sold at a low price, the rice grain in the warehouse was guarded by a special person, but suddenly disappeared overnight.
He was usually too busy to deal with this matter.
It was supposed to be a good deed, but it was self-defeating, resulting in the current situation.
Ling Feng pondered, although Mo Lingfeng usually seemed to care about the business dealings in his house, but he only looked at it on the surface, the family business of Mo Mansion was Mo Haotian's life's work, Mo Lingfeng was full of expectations for this, and he would definitely run all the businesses under the command of Mo Mansion well.
He is always kind-hearted, and occasionally doing this kind of loss-making business seems a little stupid, but it may be ......
"You're missing me because you're missing me...... So...... That's why you're doing this stupid business? ”
"Well, my head is squeezed by the door, can't I?"
Ling Feng blushed instantly, not knowing what to say. Three months ago, she was still on the island, and she had not yet returned to Yangcheng, and she did not know how many similar things he had done.
Mo Lingfeng then explained the situation at that time. The door of the warehouse is well locked, even if the guards are not well guarded and the rice grain is stolen, who will transport all the rice and grain in several warehouses overnight without leaving a trace?
It's wicked. He was too busy with trivialities to track down something that could not be traced to the source.
"I asked Xiao Qi to check everything that should be checked, but they couldn't find any clues, there was no trace left in the warehouse, all the food was gone, I couldn't trace it at all, this is beyond my ability."
This kind of ridiculous thing, Mo Lingfeng didn't say a word to her before, although Ling Feng couldn't help much, but he was a little ashamed at this moment.
Both he and Xue Beijie could risk their lives for her several times, but she never asked them how they had been doing in the past two years.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I care enough about you, not as much as you do to me." She said guiltily.
"Isn't it a big deal, just a bamboo basket to draw water? What do you have to feel guilty about, the reason why I didn't let you out of the ink mansion is because I am worried that this kind of evil thing will happen again, in case you also disappear, I won't be able to find you. ”
