Chapter 21

Halfway through, the little second brother handed the two of them a mask with blue fangs.

After Liu Yan took it, she said, "This is also to protect privacy?" ”

After putting it on, the little second brother said, "Oh, yes." ”

After Liu Yan put it on, she couldn't leave the thin belt behind the mask for the wind, and when the second brother saw this, he sighed: "The relationship between the two husband and wife is really good. ”

It can be seen that Liu Yan is in charge of this family.

If it was changed to before, this is deviant, even if this dynasty is empty, it also respects men, and women teach their husbands and children at home. But now the world is in chaos, and there are many chivalrous men who stand up by women, and the second brother is not surprised, but he is envious of the relationship between the husband and wife.

Feng Buli's face was slightly moist, "Don't say anything about my lady, you haven't said anything about taking care of me along the way." ”

It seems that it is the shared suffering that produces a strong and solid feeling.

The auction house was halfway up the mountain, not covered in snow, and there were several strong-looking men with large knives waiting outside the carriage at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that Liu Yan was carrying a big burden in her right hand and a big hammer hanging from her waist, these people couldn't help but look up. But the wind did not leave the empty hands and limped oil bottles, which made several men look down on them......

The carriage went all the way up the mountain, and Liu Yan opened the curtain in the carriage, and saw a person squatting in the snow barefoot, grabbing a handful of snow and wiping it on his stomach.

Liu Yan was a little dazed, "Little second brother, what is that person doing?" ”

The little second brother glanced at it and suddenly said, "Oh, he's going to the toilet." Now there is no toilet for him, it is burned as a matchstick for heating, and after going to the toilet, he can only make the snow on the ground clean. Speaking of this, the little second brother doubted life for a while, "But there are not many stocks in the stomach now." ”

It means that there are not many people who can pull out the poop.

The curtain was lowered by the wind, "I will not see these in the future." ”

Liu Yan thought for a moment and nodded.

Also, it's easy to be compassionate when you see too much, and it's better to be kind to yourself if you have that kindness to strangers, who knows if strangers are good or bad? The overflow of kindness always does more harm than good.

"Here we are."

It's a mountain village.

The villa used to be surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it was a place for the owner to rest, and now it is rented to the pavilion manager for auction.

The little second brother led them to the rockery of the villa.

In front of him, there was a table of eight immortals, and the man with a mustache crossed Erlang's legs, chewing the spout of the teapot, looking comfortable.

Liu Yan estimated that more than 80% of the teapot was boiled in snow water, just pretending.

"What good goods did you bring?"

Liu Yan threw the heavy thing on the table.

The bearded man's eyes widened.

What did he see?

Bacon! At least ten pounds!

Now the official eunuchs, except for those in the capital, which one does not lack meat and fresh fruits? But every house is closed, and there are good things hidden for themselves to eat, who dares to take them out? The catastrophe is said to last for more than three years!

The bearded man almost choked on the snow water boiling in the teapot, "This, this, are you really willing to take it out?" ”

Liu Yan nodded, and before she could speak, the man said again: "If this is the case, these don't need to be auctioned, our dealer is willing to buy them for fifty taels." ”

Ten taels of silver per pound of meat, which is equivalent to a sky-high price. The ancients attached great importance to good land, one acre of good land and more than a dozen taels of silver, a pound of pork and an acre of good land to hire beauty? Who's so proud?

"The little lady is worried that the price will be higher at auction? Don't worry, no one at the auction can afford to pay a high price of fifty taels. ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "The right to be good friends with the dealer, but I and Xianggong are rarely heard, can you let us see this auction?" ”

"Of course, this way, please."

After Liu Yan accepted the silver on the spot, she was led by the man through the rockery, through the corridor, and to a study. The man twisted the porcelain mechanism on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf opened slowly like a door.

"This is only the entrance, there are many exits, and someone will lead the two of you out when you fall. Two people inside please. ”

Liu Yan glanced at the dark passage, it was not narrow, the two of them could pass side by side, there were lamps burning on the wall, a few lights were lit, and a few were extinguished. It was about the dealer who realized that there was no other manpower to make the oil lamp for the time being, after all, it was now a problem to eat generally.

It's a little dark, but I can see the road under my feet.

"What do you say is the dealer behind this?" As soon as Liu Yan spoke, the echo resounded through this dark passage.

Feng Buli seemed to hear the movement, and made a boo gesture at Liu Yan, who instantly understood. This is being watched.

The two of them were speechless all the way, and only after passing through the dark passage did they discover a spectacular scene.

It was like a cave, and countless secret passages converged here, and they walked for about an hour, estimating that it might take longer to touch other secret passages.

At each of the exits of the secret passage, there was a person, perhaps a woman dressed as a maid, or a man dressed as a servant, holding an oil lamp, about a hundred people.

They were greeted by a maid who made a gesture of invitation, "Two, please come here." ”

There are steps at the exit of each dark passage, but the steps are not narrow, and Liu Yan does not leave the steps with the wind.

Finally, reach the ground.

The field here is quite large, with a stage, and various tables and chairs are placed under the stage, but there is no melon and fruit snacks and tea to entertain. There were only two people who shared a table with them, and they came with various identities.

Liu Yan swept the circle, and actually saw the refugees dressed in the crowd.

The refugee was so conspicuous that no one was willing to share a table with him for fear of flea infection.

"Don't look at it, he's here to make up the numbers." A man at the same table said.

Liu Yan and Feng Buli looked at each other, and Feng Bu Li: "This brother Tai, it seems that this is not the first time to come?" ”

"Before the natural disaster, it was very lively here, there was everything, even the palace tributes were common, and the beauties and delicacies were constant. You look at the present. The man knocked on the table and sighed: "I don't even give melon seeds, but this can't be blamed on the dealer, now there is a shortage of resources everywhere, and it would be good to have a place to rest without anyone to disturb." ”

"What you just said ...... make up the numbers"

"It's just to invite old customers to decorate a lively scene." The man leaned to the side of the wind and whispered, "Give me a few taels of husked grain, what about you?" What did you get? ”

Feng Buli glanced at the man, "Brother Tai doesn't look like he is short of silver." ”

The man sighed: "I can't make a ghost grind if I have money here, and I can't buy food if I have money." ”

Man: "Don't hide it from you, I am walking the rivers and lakes, most of the money is stored in the bank, who knew that this disaster would come, oh roar, the small money bank has fallen." Speaking of this, the man felt a pain in his heart, "The big money village is still standing, but I can't believe it, so I found a place to hide it by myself, and brought it here to see if there is any food." Can...... Forget it, let's talk about it, you'll see later. ”

Feng Buli bowed his head slightly, and said: "We didn't receive the grain from the dealer, but we brought some good things to the dealer." ”

"Oh, seller, what are you selling?" The man didn't pay much attention.

"Bacon."

"Oh, bacon."

"Fifty pounds."

"Fifty pounds...... What?! The man stood up excitedly, noticed the gaze thrown around, hurriedly suppressed his heartbeat, sat down, and asked in a low voice, "What you said is true?" ”

"It's like a fake."
