I didn't grow up fooled, and I won't let my guard down against this profiteer.

"Since Brother Qiao asked, I also said truthfully, this cabbage is not easy to grow than this rice, from the beginning of planting, to harvest are in the period of lack of water, in order to make these acres of cabbage grow, our family is in turns to carry water and water vegetables, now think about it, my shoulder still hurts." After I finished speaking, I rubbed my shoulders with my hands.

Then he said: "But, our relationship is still here, you just helped us solve this big problem, and if you want to buy some cabbage, I can't help but buy it, so you see, you have no opinion on the price of cabbage and rice." ”

Qiao Mu still had a smile on his face at first, but after listening to my words, the smile on his face was a little reluctant.

Jiang Zhi saw that I was almost messing around, so he shouted: "Nonsense, what are the old ladies talking about, hurry up to the kitchen to see how the meal is prepared." ”

I saw Jiang Zhi's eyes, shrunk my neck and went out, Jiang Zhi is unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

"Brother Qiaomu, don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense, she just has long hair and short knowledge, but what about it, your sister-in-law has a sentence that is right, this cabbage is really not easy to grow than rice......

Before I walked out of the living room, I heard Jiang Zhi say a few words. I played the vanguard, hoping that Jiang Zhi would not drop the chain, and he must negotiate a good price with the profiteer Qiao Mu.

At noon at the dinner table, the two of them were in harmony again, saying that the brothers were very affectionate, and finally entertained Qiao Mu and his brother, and put the gate of 6,000 kilograms and 6,000 kilograms of corn into the body they used to pull diesel fuel, and let them pull the cart back on the same road.

After returning home, I quickly asked Jiang Zhi. How did the cabbage seller talk, why didn't there be any movement?

Jiang Zhi also drank a little wine at noon, and at this time he borrowed the strength of the wine. pulled me into his arms, made a fierce intimacy before letting go of me, and said: "Silly daughter-in-law, this cold day, even if he wants to buy it, he can't take it away, and if he takes it back, it will become a frozen cabbage, but I bite the price to death." Let's suffer a loss, two catties of cabbage for one catty of rice, if he thinks it's okay. When the weather warms up, let's pull it back with the sweet potatoes, if it feels expensive, then we can't do anything. We don't have much cabbage left this year. But when he left, I asked my mother to bring him some sauerkraut and dried potatoes, so that he could taste it first, and I was not afraid that he would not take the bait. ”

I pushed him over and said, "What if he buys it from another village, then we won't be able to sell it at all." ”

At the beginning, I didn't expect the crops to be sold, but when people asked, they were moved. If you can't sell it, your heart will be like a cat scratched.

Jiang Zhi buried his head in my shoulder and neck. said sullenly: "Last year, when I left our house, no one in our village grew a decent cabbage, and the people in these ten miles and eight towns must be the same, and he couldn't find a second one if he wanted to." You can rest assured. ”

I listened and asked: "Then is this called a monopoly, so why can this price still be raised?" ”

Jiang Zhi raised his head and glanced at me, and said: "You just want to do a hammer deal, I also want to ask the arbor to give us some diesel next year, and you think that the farmers are fools, last year's weather was like that, all villages must be trying to fight drought and ensure the harvest, you must not underestimate the wisdom of the working people, don't make this year's vegetables better than what we plant." ”

I listened to the teachable nod, and I sincerely hoped that the farmers would have a good harvest this year, so that as long as there was a flow of food, the society would not be so turbulent.

Today at the dinner table, we also invited a few of them to Lao Zhangtou, and had a meal together, Qiao Mu told everyone a lot of things outside, to sum it up is chaos, because there is no food, there are various forces emerging in various places, in a pure water processing plant in J City, three waves of owners have been changed in a month, of course, now it is to see whose fist is hard, who can achieve the final victory, the last wave of the master of the pure water processing plant is to kill all the people there originally, before occupying the place. People have now begun to organize people to work overtime to produce pure water with snow in this winter, and prepare to exchange food with people in the summer.

If you ask them how they have a little, it's another wave of people, occupying the power plant, and whoever wants to use electricity pays for food. In short, outside the safe zone, there is no one to take care of it now, and those who have the ability to form gangs to strengthen their own power, and then go to seize the resources they think are indispensable in the city, waiting for people to exchange for food.

Of course, there are also people who don't want to work, and they still want food, what should they do, then they will become robbers, running around everywhere, and if they are caught, they will burn and plunder, and they are the kind of people who have passed today and have no tomorrow. Qiao Mu also specially reminded us that there has been such a group of people in the county recently, and they have robbed no less than 3 villages, and there have been casualties in each village, and in the end, they were all robbed of food. Qiao Mu said that there are almost no villages as calm and serene as ours now, and he hopes that we can do this for a long time.

I arrived first, quickly grabbed Jiang Zhi's hair, pulled up the big head buried in my neck, and said, "Don't we also strengthen our defense, it would be bad if that gang of robbers found someone." ”

"I know, don't worry about it, I've asked Chengzi and Brother Li to take those young people in our village to be on guard and ensure that they can't let those people take advantage of the loopholes." Jiang Zhi said.

But, there are some things that can't be said, as soon as they are said, they develop as they say, on the night when Qiao Mu came to deliver diesel, Jiang Zhi sat up on the bed in the space, and I woke up when I heard his movement next to me.

Before I could ask, Jiang Zhi said, "Daughter-in-law, hurry up, let's go out, I have a bad premonition again." ”

When I heard Jiang Zhi say this, my drowsiness was gone, so I quickly dressed up with Jiang Zhi and got out of the space.

The house is still quiet, we listened attentively, there was no strange movement, but Jiang Zhi's hunch is unlikely to be wrong, since he got this ability, every time Ichi's hunch is very accurate.

Jiang Zhi thought for a while and said, "You watch at home, I'll go out for a spin." With that, he put on his coat, opened the door and went out.

At this time, Li Cheng and Li Shanqing also got up when they heard the movement, and when they saw me sitting on the sofa, they asked what was going on, and I said that Jiang Zhi had a bad premonition, and now go outside to take a look.

Li Cheng and Brother Li also put on their clothes when they heard this, and wanted to follow over to have a look.

Watching them leave, I felt a little unsure, always thinking about what to do.

After about ten more minutes, I heard a loud noise outside, I was stunned, this was a gunshot, I heard it, I was a little panicked, and I hurriedly ran outside.

At this time, Qu Ma and they also heard the voice, I quickly told them to lock the doors and windows at home, and don't open the door when anyone comes.

I got dressed and ran in the direction of the gunshots.

At the head of the village, Zhang Wanfu's house and Zhang Fanyu's house had a lot of figures and flashlights shaking outside, I took out a large emergency light from the space, chose a place close to these people, put it on the wall on the side of the road, turned on the switch of the light, and hurriedly hid my figure.

As soon as the emergency light shone on, I saw the scene in front of me clearly, Jiang Zhi, Li Cheng, and Li Shanqing stood in front of several bloated men, one of whom was still holding a gun in his hand, which was probably the gun he had just fired.

The big men looked at the wall where the lights were looking, and the person with the gun also pointed the gun at the emergency light, "Third brother, scrap that lamp." A big man shouted at the big man with a gun, it is estimated that he lives in the dark all year round, and he is not used to being illuminated by lights when committing crimes.

But the third child just held the gun and gestured, and did not shoot, it is estimated that he is not accurate, and he is also afraid of wasting bullets.

At this time, the sound of walking also came from the village road behind, probably because the villagers heard the movement and wanted to help.

Jiang Zhi shouted at the back: "Go back, don't go any further, such a gangster has a gun." ”

As soon as the words fell, the footsteps of the advance stopped, did not continue to move forward but did not retreat, probably I wanted to hear the situation in front of them, if Jiang Zhi and them were in danger, they would also have time to save them, I nodded secretly in my heart, there are such conscientious villagers, it is not in vain that Jiang Zhi works so hard.

Then I heard Jiang Zhi shouting: "Daughter-in-law." ”

I quickly stepped forward and put away the emergency lights on the wall, just now to show Li Cheng and Li Shanqing the direction of the enemy, Jiang Zhi can see at night.

Now that the enemy's position is clear, there is no need for the lamp to shine. As soon as the lamp was put away, I heard several sounds in front of me.

The gunshots were not remembered again, and after a few minutes, the front was quiet again. Jiang Zhichong shouted behind him: "Everyone has been caught, come a few people, and carry these gangsters to the village committee." ”

I turned on the emergency light for everyone again, and saw Zhang Fanyu open the courtyard door and rush out, punching and kicking the bad guys on the ground.

Jiang Zhi asked at this time: "Brother Li, are you okay, where did you shoot just now?" ”

"It's okay, it's just scratched skin." Li Shanqing replied.

"Brother Li, thank you just now for blocking a shot for me. Xiaoyi, come over and help Brother Li home, give Brother Li medicine, and give Zhang Fanyu the emergency light. Jiang Zhi commanded.

I obediently gave Zhang Fanyu the big emergency light in my hand, and when I came to Brother Li's house, I saw that the clothes on one of Brother Li's arms were stained red with blood, and a small pool of blood was dripping on the snow, but it was not as light as he said. I quickly grabbed him and helped him home.

When we walked home, we saw Li Cheng pulling two bad guys who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, like dragging a dead dog, dragging forward.

The other people who came to help did the same, dragging the bad guys with their hands and feet tied to the village committee. (To be continued......)
