Chapter 59: Concealment

The shopkeeper led Shen Qiushui to the warehouse, and quickly weighed out the grain that Shen Qiushui wanted to buy, packed it in a sack, and moved it to the back door of the rice grain store.

At the back door, several sacks of bulging grain were piled up, and many workers carried them onto wooden carts.

The shopkeeper commanded people to move the grain bought by Shen Qiushui to the back door.

Seeing that it was inconvenient for Shen Qiushui to take the child alone, he kindly asked:

"Guest officer, we have a special convoy for transporting grain in our store, do you need it?"

Shen Qiushui was stacked with the things she bought in front of her, there were several bags, she couldn't move them alone, even if Mo Changtian was there, she couldn't finish them in one trip.

Regarding the proposal of the shopkeeper, although Shen Qiushui was moved, he was a little hesitant.

After paying for the food, she only had a fraction of what she left, and I was afraid that it would not be enough to pay the fare.

"How much does it cost to run your fleet?" She asked.

"If you run alone, it will cost fifty yuan, if you stop by the way, this price can be reduced by more than half, guest officer, you don't have much of this thing, you can wait to see if there is a way." Which village do you live in? I'll help you ask. ”

The shopkeeper had a very good attitude and did not discriminate against Shen Qiushui because she was wearing poor clothes.

Shen Qiushui reported the address, and the shopkeeper asked her to wait in place, and he went to see if he could find the convoy on the way.

Shen Qiushui, who was pulling the two children, nodded, and after the shopkeeper left, he took the two children and walked a few steps outside the door to make way for the porter.

Workers carrying goods in the aisles at the door come and go, and the temperature is the most comfortable in this season, but these workers are sweating profusely.

Carrying more than 100 catties of grain from the warehouse to the wooden cart outside the door, back and forth, tired and red-faced, earning all the hard money, such a job is not easy to find.

The price given by the rice grain shop is much higher than that of the wharf unloading the goods, and if you want to be a rice grain shop as a porter, you have to have something to do with it.

"Mother, when will Daddy come back?" Mo Yu, who was a little bored waiting, pulled his mother to speak.

Shen Qiushui pinched Mo Yu's face, it was soft, she had eaten well at Granny Luo's house these days, Mo Yu had some meat on her face, and she felt better when she pinched it.

Mo Yu deliberately pursed his lips, puffing out both cheeks.

Shen Qiushui let go of Mo Yu's little face and replied, "Mother doesn't know when your father will come back." ”

Mo Changtian was in a hurry, she didn't even know what the other party was going to do, she only knew that Mo Changtian asked her to wait in the grain store.

Mo Yu was not disappointed when he couldn't get an answer, but pulled Mo Dong to play a game of slapping.

Mo Dong was a little unhappy.

He didn't like such a childish game when he was sensible.

However, every time Mo Yu stared at Mo Dong intently with her big watery eyes, Mo Dong was ruthless in the end, disarmed and surrendered, and directly compromised.

Mo Dong stretched out his hand extremely reluctantly.

"Hey, hey." Mo Yu smirked, and immediately high-fived Mo Dong, muttering in his mouth: "You shoot one, I shoot one, a child has meat to eat......"

The child's soft voice rang out at the back door.

Shen Qiushui stood against the wall, quietly watching the two children play.

She didn't know how long she had watched it, and she couldn't count how many times she had read the children's song in Mo Yu's mouth.

The shopkeeper who had received Shen Qiushui before walked out of the back door, looked around for a moment, and saw the three Shen Qiushui who had retreated to the side.

"Guest officer, you are lucky, there is a transport convoy passing through Qinghe Town, you can take a ride, I have already told the coachman, just give a fifteen cents."

This price is within Shen Qiushui's acceptable range, and fifteen wen seems to be very expensive, but it is not.

After all, it takes most of the day to walk from the county seat to Huaishu Village, and they can also take a hitchhike back with the goods, saving time and effort, and fifteen wen is not a loss.

"When does the convoy leave?" Shen Qiushui asked.

"Don't leave in time."

Shen Qiushui thought to himself: One o'clock in the afternoon should be enough to wait for Mo Changtian to come over.

She nodded, took out her money bag, and counted fifteen copper plates to the shopkeeper.

After the shopkeeper collected the money, he immediately asked people to move several bags of Shen Qiushui's grain to a convoy not far ahead.

Most of the convoy is a wooden cart pulled by a donkey, and there are several oxen mixed in the donkey, and if you look closely, you will find that the wooden cart of the convoy is uniformly carved with bird-like carvings.

The porter carried Shen Qiushui's goods onto a wooden cart pulled by a donkey, and the shopkeeper led Shen Qiushui to recognize the people in the convoy.

The leader of the convoy glanced at Shen Qiushui and said, "You can walk around, just come back before the time, there are people here to watch, and things will not be lost." ”

She nodded, but she didn't leave, just stood beside her.

These things are the future rations of the family, and Shen Qiushui doesn't dare to be careless.

The two children were squatting in front of her and picking at the weeds that grew in the corner.

Not long after, Mo Changtian found the back door of the rice grain shop.

When he entered the rice grain shop, he didn't see Shen Qiushui and the three of them, so he pulled the shopkeeper to ask, and he was lucky, and as soon as he asked, he asked the shopkeeper who received Shen Qiushui.

"Daddy!" When Mo Yu saw his father appear, he immediately grinned and rushed towards Mo Changtian.

A pair of small hands held high.

Mo Changtian scooped Mo Yu into his arms, hooked the tip of Mo Yu's nose, and walked towards Shen Qiushui.

After approaching the station, he asked Shen Qiushui what he bought.

Shen Qiushui told Mo Changtian about the grain he bought and the convoy.

She raised her eyes and looked at Mo Changtian, "What did you do just now, why did you go for so long?" ”

"......" Mo Changtian met Shen Qiushui's gaze, his eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously concealed the matter about Mu Zhuzi, "I just met an acquaintance, and I caught up and said a few words." ”

Mo Changtian made up a lame excuse.

If it was before, Mo Changtian would not hide Shen Qiushui's life experience, but now he guesses that his life experience is related to the previous dynasty, but he doesn't dare to speak easily.

The remnants of the previous dynasty were hated by the imperial court, and once they were discovered, they would be disposed of immediately.

He can bear this danger alone.

Hearing this answer, Shen Qiushui did not doubt it, nodded, and muttered, "That's ......"

"Would you like to go shopping?" Mo Changtian asked.

Shen Qiushui naturally thought about it, and it was very boring to stay here.

"But what about the grain?" Shen Qiushui swept around the people in the convoy, stepped forward, approached Mo Changtian's ear, and whispered his doubts.

After all, it is the ration of a large family, so I have to be cautious.

Mo Changtian looked at the cute appearance of the little woman in front of him who was afraid that she would be hungry if she lost her food, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

"The fleet of this rice grain shop has a good reputation, and the grain they transport has never been lost." He explained.
