Chapter 48 Transporting Grain
No matter how much intrigue people have behind their backs, the rising and setting of the sun will not be affected in the slightest.
When the sun rises, a new day begins.
Early in the morning, Luoyun Village has begun to be lively. The sound of human voices and cows kept coming, and occasionally there was Wu Miao's stunned voice.
"The movements are all sharp, today's grain transportation is a big thing, and it cheers me up."
"Let's go."
When Deng Yueru came to the gate of the cottage, she found that there were already 20 ox carts parked here, and it was estimated that all the ox carts on the cottage had been pulled over, which was quite spectacular.
"It's all ready to go."
This time it was Wu Yue who led the team, and Wu Miao also followed to guard the grain truck, and Xie Jin also sent a team of scouts to follow him, specifically to prevent someone from tracking and eliminating the traces of the convoy.
"Okay, then hurry up, and you must rush to the valley outside Fuyun Town when the time comes."
Turning over the horse, Deng Yueru waved to everyone, and then the convoy moved slowly.
Although the mountain road is not easy to walk, there are hidden roads in the cottage, which are slightly easier to walk than other wooded places. Slowly, the convoy finally came to the valley where the goods were received.
"Ah,...... Miss Yueru, you're here. ”
Duan Yu, who had been waiting in the valley, immediately ran out as soon as he saw Deng Yueru's figure, but as soon as he opened his mouth, under Deng Yueru's sharp eyes, he swallowed back the fairy who almost shouted.
"Well, the grain has arrived, right? Thank you for your hard work, just leave the rest to me. Come, this is the two hundred taels of silver for the final payment. ”
Very satisfied with Duan Yu's knowledge of current affairs, Deng Yueru turned over and dismounted, took out two silver tickets from his arms and handed them to him.
"Yueru, do you need my hands to help you carry food?"
took the silver ticket and threw it to Steward Duan behind him, Duan Yu walked to Deng Yueru's side and asked earnestly.
"No need, I have enough manpower, you all get up early in the morning and start busy, and you will go back to rest."
On the side, Wu Yue stepped forward and whispered to inform him that the amount of grain was correct, Deng Yueru raised her eyes and looked at the dozen or so big ox carts of the Duan family parked outside the valley, turned her head and smiled at Duan Yu.
"It's okay, we're not tired, I'm ......"
Duan Yu wanted to say something, but the Duan steward on the side suddenly pulled him aside and stepped forward with a smile.
"Miss Deng, I'm sorry that our young master didn't rest well, and he was a little confused. We don't need us here, so we'll go back to Madame first. ”
"Well, okay, thank you Duan, please thank Madame on my behalf, and I'll visit you when I have time."
Deng Yueru glanced at Steward Duan twice, and felt that this Steward Duan was very good at reading people's eyes, much stronger than Duan Yu of the white eye.
Soon, the Duan family's convoy left the valley in a queue, and Duan Yu was also pulled into the carriage by Steward Duan and followed the convoy away.
Deng Yueru waved his hand, and Luoyunzhai's convoy entered the valley and began to load the grain quickly, while the scout team that had been hiding behind also began to scatter around, checking if there were anyone watching.
Everyone was very fast, and in less than two quarters of an hour, five hundred stone of grain was loaded onto twenty ox carts.
"Pay close attention to your surroundings, don't let people follow you, and remember to remove traces on the ground."
With a command to everyone, Deng Yueru turned over again and returned to Luoyun Mountain with the convoy.
After the convoy had gone some distance, the scout team followed behind the convoy and began to use twigs, sand, and other objects to erase the traces of the convoy's passing.
On the other side, after Duan Yu was pulled to the carriage by Steward Duan, he was in a state of confusion until the carriage came out of a certain distance, and he did not react.
"Hey, Steward Duan, what are we doing leaving in such a hurry, I still want to say a few more words to Miss Yueru."
"Young master, can't you see that Miss Deng obviously doesn't want us to stay there. Before going out, Mrs. explained that we just have to do what Miss Deng says, and we must not cause trouble to Miss Deng. ”
Looking through the window of the carriage, the valley was long gone, and Steward Duan explained.
"Why doesn't Miss Yueru want us to stay there? It's just a batch of food, what secret can it be? Besides, don't I also kindly want to help? ”
After listening to Steward Duan's words, Duan Yu was even more confused.
Duan Yu, to put it bluntly, is a bit talkative and has low emotional intelligence, and seems to be stupid in reading. Although he usually walks around, he has little contact with people, but as long as he is a friend he deems to be, he likes to always surround that person and talk about some and some things.
Regarding the characteristic that Duan Yu only talks to people he likes and people he is familiar with, there is nothing that the Duan family does not know, and many people have been poisoned by Duan Yu.
"Young master, everyone has their own secrets, Miss Deng doesn't want us to know, then let's leave, anyway, the business has been completed, no matter what Miss Deng wants to do with this batch of food, it is her business, and it has nothing to do with us."
If we have to stay where we are, it will not only delay Miss Deng's affairs, but also make Miss Deng feel that we don't know how to be polite. ”
Steward Duan still didn't understand Duan Yu when he looked at it, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Okay, I know, then I can only talk to Miss Yueru next time I see her."
Finally understood what Duan Guan meant, Duan Yu looked out of the carriage with a regretful face, I really hope that Deng Yueru will be able to come to Duan's house tomorrow.
"By the way, Yueru said that her family has a juggling team, and I forgot to ask her where the team is, so that I can go and see it when I have time in the future, it's a pity."
In Duan Yu's regretful thoughts, the Duan family's convoy walked into Fuyun Town and returned to the Duan family's mansion.
"The owner of the village, I didn't expect the grain to be transported back so smoothly."
On Deng Yueru's side, the convoy hurried cautiously all the way, and it had returned to the foot of Luoyun Mountain in more than half an hour.
"Well, it did go well. Wu Miao, you tell everyone to be careful, the sooner you are about to get home, the more you can't take it lightly. Let the scouts also pay more attention, the secret path back to the cottage must not be discovered by outsiders. ”
Sitting on the horse and looking at the back, Deng Yueru turned her head and commanded Wu Miao.
On the secret path up the mountain, there are people guarding the cottage every other distance, which is related to the safety of the cottage, so it has always been the place that Deng Yueru pays the most attention to.
"Don't worry, I have already ordered it to go down, and no trace will be found. I've just checked it, and these scouts have cleared the traces so well that I can't see it at all. ”
The concealment techniques used by these scouts were all taught by Deng Yueru before, so now Wu Miao's eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Deng Yueru.
