After buying food, Zhao Zhu hurriedly left, and after a while, he found that someone was following him.

He deliberately walked a few small alleys without getting rid of them, knowing in his heart that this group of people was probably eyeing his food.

After all, the price of the grain sold by those thieves is so high, there are many people who can't afford it, and they can't afford it, so they can only rob others.

After a few more alleys, he ran away quickly, finally shaking off the group behind him.

Only then did he cautiously walk towards home.

Zhao Chu sighed quickly, and he didn't know when the imperial court would send troops to suppress these thieves.

When he went out before, he passed by the cold drink shop, and saw that the building was empty for a long time, and there was a corpse, and he didn't know what happened to Aunt Wang.

He smiled bitterly again, now he can't even take care of his own family, and he still has time to think about others.

But he thinks that he still has some friendship with Ning Changrong in the end, and he also hopes that Wang Xiujuan and them are safe.

……

"Big brother, why are we selling food to these people? Wouldn't it be okay to just grab their money? What are you doing with all this food? ”

Hu Dadao sat in the county hall and said:

"You know what? If these people don't have food to eat, won't they be in chaos? Do you know how many people are in this county? At least tens of thousands. We are only more than 5,000 people, although many people have been added recently, but there are only more than 6,000 brothers in total, and these people are all locals in the county, if the whole county rebels against us, it is not certain who these people will help at that time, how can our brothers get rich? ”

"Anyway, we won't be able to take all the grain in the granary when we leave, so we just sell it to these people, and by the way, we can make some money to take it away, and when the time comes, we will have silver, what can't we buy?"

"Big brother is tall! Why didn't I think about it? ”

"Haha, okay, don't say these good sounds, how are those clans knocking?"

The subordinate sitting on the right side of Hu Dadao replied: "I estimate that it is almost the same, today I killed the grandson of the old man Wang, and he was not willing to hand over 20,000 taels." It has always been said that their family has no money. ”

Hu Dadao nodded with satisfaction, "Try to kill his son tomorrow." ”

……

Everything is easy to solve on this mountain, pots and pans, these can be temporary.

But there's one thing you can't eat without eating.

That's salt.

You can't do any work without salt.

Ning Changrong and Ning Village Chief both have cattle, and if they are in the mountains, they can still eat some grass, but they don't have to worry about it.

As for salt supplementation, these two cows rely on salt horn grass.

It is Ning Changrong earlier, I heard the people in the village mention something, people will be poisoned if they eat it, but animals can eat it, and two cows can eat salt horn grass, which can replenish the salt needed by the body.

But they can't eat it, and the salt used on this mountain is all from Ning Changrong's family.

Being able to survive until now is already the result of saving and saving.

After listening to the news reported by Wang Xiujuan, the logistics director, Ning Changrong thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, I'll take someone to the official road in a few days to see if I can meet a few merchants and buy some from them." How many more days can it last, right? ”

Wang Xiujuan nodded, "Save a little use, and it can last for more than ten days." ”

Ning Changrong looked at the black spot that was grazing in the distance, and said with a smile: "It has a better taste than us in the mountains." You don't have to be fed anymore. Fortunately, there is salt horn grass, otherwise with these two cows, this salt will have to be removed again. ”

turned his head and said to Wang Xiujuan again: "By the way, mother, how are the peppers you planted?" I remember you didn't say there were pumpkin seeds in there? If this is planted, it will be considered a kind of food at that time. ”

"Don't worry, it's good. This place is very fertile. It won't be long before the chili peppers are ready to eat. When the time comes, let's eat more and get rid of the moisture in our body. ”

Ning Changrong was relieved after hearing this.

After talking to Wang Xiujuan for a few more sentences, he went to pick people and take people down the mountain, Ning Daniu's right-hand man, he would definitely take it, Ning Husheng recently got a crossbow made by Xixi asked Sun Carpenter to make, he practiced very diligently, and his accuracy was not bad, so he could be added.

Plus his second brother Ning Lao Er is about the same.

Since Ning Qingxi asked Carpenter Sun to make a crossbow for the whole village to use, everyone knows the importance of this thing, and they will practice it when they have time.

Now it can barely be regarded as a soldier for all people, but when it encounters the enemy, it is not certain what kind of performance it will be.

But bluffing is enough.

When Ning Changrong went to find Ning Husheng, the other party was still practicing shooting accuracy.

"Whoosh!"

"Not bad!" Ning Changrong clapped his palms as he approached.

Ning Husheng was a little embarrassed when he heard it, "It's not as good as Xixi, Shui Qiang shoots better than me." ”

Ning Changrong encouraged: "Xixi was born. "That's what he paid to pile up! If this can catch up with his daughter after ten days and half a month of exercise, then he didn't spend it in vain before?

"Shui Qiang's family is a hunter and makes a living from hunting, if this quasi-head is not good, what do they live on? Don't compare yourself to them. ”

The two chatted for a while.

Ning Hu only remembered, "By the way, Changrong, why did you suddenly come to me?" ”

Everyone knows how busy Ning Changrong is, and it is usually difficult to find him. Why do you still have time to hang out with him for so long?

Ning Changrong patted his head, "Look at my memory, I'm here to inform you, let's go out of the mountain the day after tomorrow, I want to go to the official road to see if we can meet merchants, we have some things to buy, and others can be slowed down, this salt can't be bought." ”

Near Taixi County, Ning Changrong also took people to see it a few times, and until now, the gate is tightly closed.

From a distance, you can see that the color of the flagpole planted in the wall is not the same as before.

Naturally, he wouldn't run over there to die. But the nearest county seat near this is Taixi County, and if you want to go farther, you are afraid that there will be risks on the road. You can only squat on the official road first to see if you can meet the merchants. If it really doesn't work, I'll have to find another way.

"Okay, no problem."

After informing Ning Husheng, Ning Changrong went to find Ning Da Niu and Ning Lao Er.

Village Chief Ning and his little grandson had just come back from outside, and before they could say hello, Ning Changrong's figure had already gone away.

"What are you doing here? What's the matter? ”

Ning Husheng honestly told Ning Changrong what he had told him.

Village Chief Ning said: "There are so many of us, it is true that we have to consume a lot of salt, that is, Evergreen They have prepared in advance, alas, our group of people owe them a family." ”

Village Chief Ning paused and said solemnly: "When you go out, you have to protect Changrong well, even if you risk your life!" Did you hear me clearly? ”

Village Chief Ning thought very clearly, his son died, that is, he lost a son, and according to Changrong's temperament, he would definitely not ignore their family, if Ning Changrong was gone, then their group would definitely not be found.

Ning Husheng said with a straight face: "Dad, don't worry, before my son falls, I will definitely not let Brother Changrong get hurt." ”
