Xu Yang heard the Chenghuang Ye of Ganxiao County propose to help him carry the grain, and as soon as he solved his urgent need, he smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't need you to help me with this little thing now." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoYou are the gods of the underworld, so naturally you can't stretch out your hand to the yang, otherwise it won't add numbness to you. I'll take care of such small things myself. If I have something, I will call you and others to help. There's nothing left for you to do, you can step down. ”

When Lord Chenghuang heard that Xu Yang didn't need his own help, he was also happy, and retreated: "Yes, master." Small retirements. With that, he turned and left.

Xu Yang saw that Chenghuang Ye had left, and thought that Ming'er must get up early in the morning and successfully buy food from Ganxiao County. Xu Yang looked around, and then quickly went back to the place where Ma Zichen and the others were resting.

After Xu Yang returned to the place where everyone was resting, except for the four monks who were still sitting there, everyone was still sleeping in the tent. Xu Yang got into the tent of Yin Su'e and Liu Xiangping, and saw that the two girls were still asleep, so he immediately sat there cross-legged, while cultivating, waiting for the dawn to come.

The next day, when the sun just jumped out of the east, the sky was still bright, and Xu Yang and Dahu Xiaohu had already driven the carriage towards Ganxiao County. When the three of them arrived in the city, it was still early in the morning, so there were no beggars blocking the way, so the three of them entered the city smoothly.

However, when Xu Yang and the three of them arrived at the first grain store in a carriage, they didn't think that there were people who got up earlier than themselves, and the black pressure was overwhelming a group of people who bought grain to surround the grain store, so that the three of them couldn't get in at all. And just when the three of them were queuing up to buy food, the people around them also began to curse, some turned around and left, and some continued to line up to buy food.

The three of them stood on the carriage and looked towards the grain store, only to see a wooden sign hanging at the door of the grain store, which stated the prices of various grains, among which rice was divided into three types. The rice that Xu Yang and the others wanted to buy was produced locally, and I saw that the price was written "Hubei Province Rice: one stone and six taels of silver"; while the lowest-grade rice was written "one stone and three taels of silver"; and one of the rices named Daohuaxiang was written "one stone and ten taels of silver".

"It's just that people won't be allowed to live, and the price of grain will rise every day, and it will remain high, and the price will be one day a day, how can they survive? Damn grain merchants, who not only raise the price of grain, but also stop collecting copper coins, will be punished sooner or later. Many grain buyers scolded and scolded.

The owner of the grain store was furious when he heard a few people who bought grain cursing him, and he shouted, "Little ones, blast these poor ghosts out for me." I don't have money to buy food, and I dare to scold in front of me, it's really impatient. As he spoke, a few people with big shoulders and round waists rushed towards the troublemakers, punching and kicking them, and the troublemakers got out of the way.

After being punched and kicked by the people of the grain store, these troublemakers could only run away from the door of the grain store with their heads in their hands.

And just when Xu Yang saw the people in the grain store driving away these troublemakers, the voice of the grain store owner came to his ears again: "Don't everyone think that the price of grain is high? Today's grain is all bought, close the door! Collect the accounts!" After speaking, the little two men in the grain store began to close the door.

"Boss, wait! You still have grain to sell in your store, why don't you sell it? They are too expensive, but we are not too expensive! We buy it! I don't have any rice at home, and if I don't buy it, I will only be hungry." Many people buying rice shouted.

When the owner of the grain store saw that everyone was blocking Xiao Er from closing the door, he was furious, his face was as angry as a pig's liver, and he shouted with his saliva splashing at the top of his voice: "You damn poor bastards, forget it if you starve to death, why do you eat so much? I am the boss, I have the final say, and I will sell it out when I say it's sold out." If you stop me from closing the door again, I'm going to beat someone. I can say in advance that I will not be responsible for anyone who stands in my way, and I will kill them!" After speaking, he shouted to Xiao Er and the others: "What do you see, there are dead people standing there? Why don't you hurry up and close the door." ”

Seeing the boss's annoyed and angry appearance, Xiao Er and the others hurriedly beat the customers out of the store, inserted the door panel, and closed the door of the grain store in an instant.

Xu Yang and the three of them widened their eyes, seeing that the things in front of them were changing rapidly, and before they could squeeze in front, let alone touch the grains of rice, the grain store was already closed. Suddenly, the people who bought the grain left the grain store one by one and went to other grain stores.

Xu Yang and the three of them saw that before leaving, they didn't forget to kick the door twice, and they didn't open the door. Xu Yang and the three of them saw that the people who bought the grain had already left, and there were only three of them left at the door of the grain store. Xu Yang sighed heavily, and also drove the carriage towards the other grain stores.

And just as Xu Yang was heading towards other grain stores, the doors of every grain store were full of grain buyers. Moreover, what made Xu Yang and the others most angry was that whenever they walked to the door of a grain store, they had not been inserted into the crowd, and they had not queued up to buy food, the grain store would be closed.

Therefore, Xu Yang and the three of them walked back and forth in the city, and found that all the shops that bought grain were closed, so that they returned empty-handed. As a last resort, Xu Yang had no choice but to buy some ridiculously expensive baked cakes in the city and take them back so that everyone could spend today.

Ma Zichen and the others saw that Xu Yang and the others came back depressed again, and they had never bought food, and now it was just past noon, and they couldn't help but be angry and cursed again and again.

Liu Xiangping stomped her feet angrily and said, "We can't buy grain in rice-producing places, let alone Yu Province, which is suffering from famine. Why don't we buy some baked cakes and take them with us, and just keep going?"

Xu Yang saw that everyone was spinning around like ants on a hot pot, but the four monks remained calm and nailed there without hurry. Xu Yang thought that he couldn't buy food with silver, and he was still two months away from Longjing, and he had to pass through the disaster and famine of Henan Province, if there was no food in his hand, he would naturally not be able to successfully reach Longjing.

And just when Xu Yang was also anxious in his heart, he couldn't help but think of what Chenghuang Ye said, and for the sake of today's plan, he had to steal some food to tide over the difficulties. Xu Yang said: "Don't worry, let's go to the city in the evening." Presumably, these grain stores will open in the evening. ”

"Brother Xu, don't be whimsical, how can you do business at night? I think we should hurry as soon as possible. Dahu said.

When Ma Zichen heard that Xu Yang was going to enter the city at night, he naturally saw the shops selling grain all the way, which never opened at night, and was just about to laugh at the other party, when he suddenly thought that the other party often did something about stealing, and thought: "Could it be that Xu Yang wants to take advantage of the cover of the night and steal grain?" This guy is a lawless person, and he can be called the ancestor of thieves. Although the act of stealing is shameful and hateful, we are also forced to make this decision. Otherwise, we will go to Longjing hungry. Thinking about it, he looked at Xu Yang with a smile.

Xu Yang saw that everyone doubted him, and he also saw Ma Zichen looking at him with a smile, and he knew that the thoughts in his heart had been guessed by the other party.

"Everyone buys food during the day, but never at night, and whether they can buy it or not is only known when it gets dark. Don't worry, I'll be sure to buy food in the evening. If we can't buy it, it's not too late for us to leave!" Xu Yang said with a smile.

"Since Brother Xu swears that he can buy grain, he must definitely buy it, so everyone should believe each other! Besides, when did Brother Xu let us down!" Ma Zichen said.

Everyone thought that they had to listen to Xu Yang for the sake of today's plan, otherwise they would have to suffer along the way. So they sat down under the tree, and waited for the day to get dark.

Everyone usually only hates that the days are short, and the day passes in the blink of an eye. But now they were waiting for the night to come, and now they realized that the day was so long that it was always impossible to get through.

Ma Zichen also secretly asked Xu Yang how to get food from the city, but Xu Yang smiled and said that it would be kept secret. Therefore, while reviewing his homework, Ma Zichen was also looking forward to the night coming soon.

In the middle of the night, the dark clouds were shrouded, and the stars and the moon were all hidden in the dark clouds, making the sky and the earth black and oppressive, and the five fingers could not be seen. In the middle of the night, I saw Xu Yang and Dahu Xiaohu sitting in a carriage, who had appeared in the city early, waiting for the time to come.

The big tiger and the little tiger looked at Xu Yang suspiciously, puzzled that the sky was dark, and the pedestrians in the city had disappeared, but none of the grain stores around had ever opened, and they didn't understand how the other party wanted to buy grain?

Xu Yang also saw the doubts in the hearts of the two of them, and said to the two of them: "No matter what happens for a while, don't shout, otherwise it will not be good to attract officers and soldiers." ”

Seeing Xu Yang explain to himself earnestly, the big tiger and the little tiger were even more confused, and they couldn't understand how the other party wanted to buy food, and where did they go to buy food? The two couldn't help but nod their heads, and held their mouths with their hands to prevent themselves from screaming.

Xu Yang saw that the two of them were holding their mouths, and saw that there was no one around, and shouted: "Om Blue Pure Law Realm!" As soon as the voice fell, nine puffs of black smoke suddenly came out of the ground, and the wind was blowing, and nine figures appeared next to the carriage.

Fortunately, Xu Yang blindfolded the two horses in the carriage in advance, otherwise he would have seen these nine people and neighed wildly. And the big tiger and the little tiger saw nine people with flickering bodies appear in front of and behind him, and saw that these nine people were all fierce and vicious, and couldn't help but tremble in fear, and concluded from the yin qi emanating from the other party's body that this was definitely not a human being.

The big tiger and the little tiger saw that the only one was dressed in the auspicious cloud beast official mansion, wearing a treasure crown, holding a jade wat in his hand, but he looked no different from the city god, and he also looked like a person;

After the big tiger and the little tiger saw the nine people appear, they immediately prostrated in front of Xu Yang one by one, and said: "Knock on the master, I don't know why the master called the little ones over?"

When the big tiger and the little tiger heard the nine people call Xu Yang "master", they couldn't help but be frightened, and they couldn't understand how these people called Xu Yang the master?

Xu Yang saw that Chenghuang Ye and others were coming, cleared his throat, and said, "I asked you to wait over, just to ask you to wait to steal some rice for me, that's all." ”

The Chenghuang Ye of Ganxiao County heard that Xu Yang let him and others steal food, and although his proposal last night was rejected by the other party, he didn't expect that after a day passed, the other party actually agreed with his idea, which shows that the other party was also forced to make this decision. Lord Chenghuang said: "It is our honor to be able to do our meager help for the master. I know that the food there is easy to steal, so I ask the master to sit here for a while, and I will come when I go. ”

"Wait a minute. You only need to steal ten stone rice for me, you don't need to steal more, otherwise it will bring you countless hemp turns, which is not good. Xu Yang said.

The reason why Xu Yang only asked Chenghuang Ye and others to steal ten stones of grain was that he was worried that after he went back, he would have to spend some words on Liu Xiangping and others. In addition, ten stone meters is just enough to fit your own carriage, and if there are too many, the carriage will not be able to accommodate it.

Cheng Huang Ye and the others originally planned to steal a hundred stones, but they didn't think that Xu Yang would only let him steal ten stones, wouldn't this be an easy thing for him. Suddenly, the nine people of the City God nodded yes, and then disappeared into the ground and disappeared from Xu Yang and the others.

Seeing that the nine people disappeared out of thin air, the big tiger and the little tiger suddenly looked at Xu Yang with wide eyes, and his heart was also full of all kinds of doubts, and he didn't know where to start?

Xu Yang also saw the big tiger and the little tiger looking at him in horror, and said with a smile: "If there is anything, let's go back and talk about it." You two rest assured, these nine people are the city god and eight little ghosts of Ganxiao County, and they can definitely rest assured that they can do things. ”

Just as Xu Yang was explaining to the big tiger and the little tiger, the nine people of the city god had already returned to Xu Yang's carriage, and each of them came with a bag or two of rice. Xu Yang asked the nine people of Chenghuang Ye to put the rice in the carport, while the big tiger and the little tiger stared like copper bells, and saw that the nine people of Chenghuang Ye did not disobey each other, so they obediently placed the rice in the carport.

After Lord Chenghuang instructed the little ghosts to put away the rice, he asked Xu Yang, "Master, do you have anything else to order?"

"There's nothing to do, you can leave later. Xu Yang said.

The nine people of the City God Ye sang a song to Xu Yang, and then turned around and left here. Seeing that the nine people were gone, Dahu Xiaohu hurriedly ran to the carport, opened one of the bags, and saw that it was different from the rice he usually ate, and he was stunned.
