Li Sanlang was happy at first, and then thought of a possibility, and then began to worry.

"Who did that?"

Li Erlang shook his head: "I don't know, many people are investigating, but they haven't found out yet, it stands to reason that there are so many people in Heifeng Village who want to ...... One or two people can't do it at all, but there are too many people to leave traces, but according to Liu Zhutou, there are no footprints in the cottage at all, and there are no traces of fighting, as if those few masters are sleeping to death. ”

This made Li Sanlang also afraid.

"Is there a ghost?"

Li Erlang glared at him: "I don't believe in these ghosts and gods the most, if there are really ghosts, Heifeng Village has long been destroyed and I don't know how many times, where can I wait for now?" ”

Li Sanlang was even more frightened.

After a while he asked, "What about our food?" ”

Li Erlang sighed: "It's all gone, Liu Zhutou and they found the warehouse, and after opening it, there was nothing, and someone must have asked someone to take it away." ”

"What should I do?" Li Sanlang was shocked and annoyed: "What should we do if we can't find food?" Do we really want to go back to the village? ”

Li Erlang, who has always been shrewd, is now at a loss.

The grain is gone, and it is not possible to transport the grain again in a short time, and it will cost a lot of silver taels to buy food again, which will undoubtedly consume the Li family.

But if you can't pay the grain on time, the Li family's reputation will be smashed, the most important thing is that the customers who buy the grain are not weak and can be bullied, and they also have a background background, and the Li family can't pay the grain, so they have to lose double the family's money, otherwise they will have to suffer a lawsuit.

Thinking about it this way, there were really wolves and tigers in the past, and now there is no way to advance or retreat.

Li Erlang could imagine it, and Li Sanlang naturally thought of it.

He got up and walked out.

Li Erlang called him: "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Sanlang said loudly: "I'll go and kneel down and beg Tan Qi, before I said let's go directly to the door to beg, you just think too much, so around the bend want Tan Qi to help our family...... If I had asked for as I had said, I would not have said that the food had already been brought back. ”

Li Erlang pounded the table again: "You, go." ”

Now there is really no other way than to ask for talk about Qi with an open face.

The reason why Li Erlang was reluctant to ask for it before was because he couldn't let go of face.

Earlier, when they were in the village, the life of the Li family was much better than that of the Tan family.

Li Erlang is about the same age as Tan Qi, he is smart and clever when he is a child, other children also love to play with him, and the people in the village also praise him.

And Tan Qi was not very sensible when he was young, he was naughty and mischievous, and the people in the village often compared Li Erlang with Tan Qi, and took Tan Qi to elevate Li Erlang, which made Li Erlang very proud.

Later, when the Li family's business became bigger, they moved to the county seat, and then moved to Fucheng, and Li Erlang didn't take Tan Qi seriously.

He felt that Tan Qi would not be able to catch up with him in his life.

Who would have thought that it had only been so many years, Tan Qi had actually studied, and he was very talented, and he came to Xiucai after less than a year of studying.

No matter how capable Li Erlang is, he is just a businessman, but if Tan Qi passes the exam, he will be the master, and this gap makes Li Erlang a little uncomfortable.

It is precisely because of this that Li Erlang is reluctant to bow his head and beg Tan Qi.

But now Li Erlang has to bow his head, otherwise, the Li family will be finished.

Before Li Sanlang walked out of the door, Li Erlang chased after him.

"I'll be with you."

The brothers went to the inn together, and first asked the shopkeeper where Tan Qi lived, and the shopkeeper smiled: "It's really unfortunate, this talker has just gone out." ”

"Where did you go?" Li Erlang asked anxiously.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Where do you know this, aren't people finished the exam, there is nothing to do now, but you can't take a good turn in Fucheng." ”

I don't know where to go, so the Li brothers don't dare to look for it, for fear that they will miss it again if Tan Qi comes back.

There was no way, the two had to find a seat in the hall, Li Sanlang ordered two plates of dried fruit snacks, and asked the shopkeeper to make a pot of tea, and the brothers waited while drinking tea.

This is several hours.

After drinking several pots of tea, and the snacks were about to be full, Li Sanlang made a few trips just to the thatched house.

Seeing that the sky was almost dark, Tan Qi and Tan Jiao came back with big bags and small bags.

Seeing Tan Qi, Li Sanlang hurriedly stood up and said hello: "Talk about the second brother." ”

Tan Qi turned his head and saw Li Sanlang beckoning to him, and he carried the things he bought: "Why are you here?" ”

Li Erlang also stood up and said: "It's not that you can't get old, I'll pick it up with my third brother, what did you buy?" If you want me to say, what do you do with these things, what don't you have at home? ”

Tan Qi smiled: "If there are only your brothers in the family, it doesn't hurt for us to come to the door empty-handed, but there are elders in the family, we can't just go empty-handed, at least we have to prepare gifts for the elders, in addition, we don't know how sooner or later we can come to Fucheng again when we go back this time, we have to bring something rare to the family, no, after a day of shopping, I thought about tidying up and going over, I didn't expect you to be so anxious." ”

"Isn't that afraid that you won't go?"

Li Erlang came over and took Tan Qi's hand: "Which room do you live in, go, go, help you clean up." ”

Tan Qi smiled and took the two upstairs.

When he entered the room, Tan Qi closed the door, and Li Erlang knelt down with a plop.

"Tan Erlang, please help us."

Tan Qi's face was as usual, but Tan Jiao was startled: "Second Brother Li, what are you doing?" ”

Tan Qi bent down to help Li Erlang: "Second brother, hurry up, what kind of friendship do we have, if you have something difficult, just say it, why do you make such a big courtesy, isn't this tormenting me." ”

Tan Jiao also came over to help Li Erlang.

Li Erlang snorted a few more times before he got up: "I was really embarrassed to ask for help before, but now I am desperate, so I have to ask for help, and please help us think of a way to help us when we were young." ”

Tan Qi helped Li Erlang get up and sat him down: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Li Erlang said with a bitter face about the destruction of Heifeng Village: "I don't know which strongman did it, not only did he kill a few masters, but even the savings of Heifeng Village over the years were swept away, and our family's food was gone...... I really couldn't help it, so I wondered if I could ask Mr. Gao to come forward to help ask for a call or two, let us slow down for a while, and we would definitely make up for the food. ”

Tan Qi frowned: "It's the Hu family who wants food?" ”

Li Erlang nodded.

Tan Qi also made a bitter face: "Second brother, this is the Hu family, Mr. Gao is only afraid that he will not have such a big face...... Second brother, I want to help you, but how can I help this? ”

Li Erlang lowered his head, and Li Sanlang wept silently: "How is this good?" Is it really going to be ruined? ”

Just when the Li family brothers were anxious, Tan Qi drank a sip of water and slowly spoke: "I know a person, his family has a lot of grain, why don't I help you pull the strings, let's buy the grain first and hand it over to the Hu family, this matter will be solved, the only bad thing is to lose more money, but as the old saying goes, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as the family is there, this money can be earned sooner or later." ”

What else can I do?

The Li brothers could only admit it: "Please go and ask one or two earlier." ”

When the Li brothers left, they didn't mention letting Tan Qi go to his house to live, and Tan Qi was also happy.

Sending the brothers away, Tan Qi made a pot of tea with a smile.

Tan Jiao packed the things he bought separately and put them in his luggage: "Second brother, does your friend really have so much food?" ”

Talking about the mystery of Qixiao: "It doesn't matter if there is one, as long as I can make it up for the Li family." ”
