The shopkeeper was visibly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure.

"What nonsense, when did I collect your money, where did it come from called Hanako, get out!"

The young man was angry and red-eyed, "You were in this shop seven days ago, you accepted my silver, and you said that you would take rice in five days, how can you not admit it, that is the next ration for one of our villages!" ”

"What about the evidence, is there any evidence?"

"At that time, you clearly recorded it in the account book, but when I came the day before yesterday, you tore it up."

"I don't know what nonsense you're talking about, there is no evidence, if you dare to make trouble again, you will be sent to the government to prison!"

Saying that, the shopkeeper wanted to push the young man away, but his strength was obviously not as great as the other party, and he quickly glared at the two guys next to him, and the three of them worked together to drive the young man out of the store, and the shopkeeper even picked up the stick on the side and beat the other party several times.

Looking at the young man who fell to the ground, the shopkeeper sneered and took a sip.

"This is the town, but not your poor and sour village, if you want rice, you can exchange it for money, and if you dare to mess around, Lao Tzu will report to the official immediately, and when the time comes, see if the official will help you or Lao Tzu!"

In the crowd gathered around him, there was an uncle who couldn't stand it anymore, so he helped the young man and spoke in a low voice.

"It's not once or twice that the shopkeeper of this rice shop has done this lack of morality, and every time he deceived the people in the village who came to buy rice. But he is a relative of the master of the Yamen, and his arms can't twist his thighs, so you should spend money to buy a lesson, young man. ”

"I'm here to buy rice for the whole village, there are only some old people left in our village, and this rice is really used to save lives!"

The young man's two thick eyebrows were completely twisted together, and his face was full of guilt.

After listening to him, I learned that he was from Dayang Village, and there are basically only a dozen families left in the village now that there are only a dozen lonely and widowed old people without children, and he was adopted by the villagers when he was a child, and has been staying in the village since then.

Now there is really no way to live, and this time he bought rice with the money of the whole village, in order to prepare some food, and then everyone went to escape the famine together.

Hearing the young man's words, the people around him couldn't help but sigh.

And the shopkeeper saw more and more people, knowing that he was afraid that he would not be an adult today, so he asked the guy to close the door.

Hua Yan glanced at the young man again, didn't say anything, but quietly went to the back wall of the rice shop, and then neatly turned over and entered the backyard.

"Shopkeeper, that man is still outside and refuses to leave, or let's give him some rice and send him away." In the backyard, the guy said to the shopkeeper's opening.

"Fart, how precious rice is at this time, a poor boy, it's not that I haven't seen anything more difficult than him, if I don't leave tonight, I'll find someone to beat him, and then throw it away."

Seeing that the shopkeeper had said this, the man didn't say anything more, and soon went back to work.

Hua Yan hid in the dark, waited for the shopkeeper to leave, quietly searched in the backyard, and soon found the location of the warehouse.

Although the door was locked, the window was not closed tightly, Hua Yan climbed through the window and found that there were about 30 bags of white rice piled inside, in addition to some brown rice, beans and flour.

Thinking of the shopkeeper's face just now, Hua Yan opened the space and began to load supplies inside.

Twenty sacks of white rice were filled in one go, and half of the brown rice, beans, and flour were filled before stopping.

Looking at the things left in the warehouse, Hua Yan closed the space and decided to stop.

Although there is the shopkeeper's money fraud in the front, she is quite at ease pretending to be these, but now in these years, it is better to leave someone else a way out.

There was finally some food in the space, and Hua Yan felt a little more relieved in her heart, and left over the wall again while others were not paying attention.

Back on the street, Hua Yan saw that the beaten young man was still guarding outside the closed rice shop, refusing to leave, so she stepped forward to tell him that someone said that someone could help him get back the food, and asked him to wait at the intersection outside the town in half an hour.

The young man was skeptical, and some doubted that Hua Yan had colluded with the shopkeeper to trick him into leaving. Looking at Hua Yan's appearance, he really doesn't look like a bad guy, and if he can't wait for half an hour, he can come back again, so he responded and left in three steps.

Hua Yan took three taels of silver and went to buy some salt and sugar.

After all, salt is really inseparable, and as for sugar, it is to prevent hypoglycemia on the road.

The salt in this town is sold in rations, and you can only buy two catties at a time, Hua Yan originally thought about whether to find someone to help buy it on her behalf, but when she asked the price, it has now risen to five hundred wen a catty, so she gave up this idea.

After buying sugar and salt, Hua Yan bought some cheap gold sore medicine, just in case.

And when she was about to leave the town, Hua Yan thought about it, folded back again, bought two large pieces of oilcloth, and asked the store for two smaller cloth bags by the way.

After buying these, there were only a few hundred Wen left on his body, and some of the things were put into the space, and Hua Yan walked quickly outside the town.

After leaving the town, I saw the young man waiting at the intersection from a distance, and there was another person beside him, because he couldn't see his face clearly because his back was facing away, and there was a wooden cart next to the two.

Hua Yan found a fairly hidden place in the forest on the side of the road, and then took out five bags of white rice from the space, as well as one bag of brown rice and beans, and after putting them away, she quickly went to call people, but after getting closer, she found that the person next to the other party turned out to be the middle-aged man who helped her carry water down the mountain before.

"It's you, uncle!" Hua Yan was pleasantly surprised.

The other party obviously didn't expect it to be Hua Yan, so he was stunned for a while and nodded.

It turned out that he was in the same village as the young man, and in the village about four or five years ago, the people in the village called him Uncle Yang. When he came, he broke his arm and was wounded, and he has remained in the village ever since.

I usually don't like to come to the town, but today I am entrusted by the old people in the village to help the young people and take care of them.

The young man and Uncle Yang followed Hua Yan to the forest, and when they saw that there was really food, the young man was overjoyed, but after the joy, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

It is impossible for the shopkeeper of the rice shop to be so kind, and give him the grain, can he say......

"This girl, this ......"

Hua Yan didn't hide it, "You should be able to guess how this thing came about, I just came to the town to buy things today, and someone couldn't see what the shopkeeper did, so he taught him a lesson, but he didn't want to show up, so please let me give you these things." ”

"Thank you so much!" The young man was grateful.

This is the life-saving food of the people in their village, and he can't care much about how it came at this time. What's more, he paid the money, and the shopkeeper of the rice shop should have given him food.

It was Uncle Yang who glanced at the grain, "It's too much." ”

The young man looked at it again, "Yes, it's really a lot, I can spend up to three bags of grain and one bag of brown rice for the money I spend, and there is an extra ...... in this."

"Those people are gone, and I can't find them, so you can take them, and take them as compensation for you from the shopkeeper of the rice shop."

After speaking, Hua Yan instructed him to put more dry firewood on it after loading the rice to cover it up.

Although there may not be any robbery along the way, it is still necessary to be just in case.

The young man was very grateful, and after thanking him again and again, he packed the car and left according to Hua Yan's words. Uncle Yang looked at Hua Yan, although he still had some doubts about the source of things in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just nodded at Hua Yan again, and his expression also showed a little gratitude.

And Huayan didn't delay any longer, and hurried back to Huajia Village as soon as possible.

Before entering the village, he took out oiled paper and a pound of salt and sugar from the space, and used two cloth bags, each containing half a bag of white rice and flour, and then carried it into the village.

Walking all the way home, before entering the courtyard, Hua Yan saw Hua Qingshan and Xia's who were not very good-looking, as well as the He family opposite them......
