Lin Yiming continued to cultivate after returning to the village.
On the sixth day, the people from the village who had gone to the town to buy grain finally returned.
Horse-drawn carts loaded with grain drove all the way into the village from outside the village, on a rugged path. Villagers with excited faces gathered at the head of the village.
"It's great to finally have food!"
"Yes, with food, even if the harvest is not in recent years, we can survive for a while. ”
"This is thanks to Yiming, if it weren't for Yiming, how would we have the money to buy food. ”
In the midst of the villagers' discussions, Zhang Sanbo, who took the lead in buying grain, commanded the people who went to buy grain to stop the carriage.
"Folks, we're back. Now every family should send someone out, and we will divide the food. Zhang Sanbo shouted at the top of his voice, and in the cheers of everyone, he opened the wooden barrels containing grain one by one.
Suddenly, a round and full grain of wheat came into everyone's eyes.
Soon, under the command of Zhang Sanbo and several famous old men in the village, as well as Lin Yiming's sister Lin Ning, everyone began to distribute food.
A grain of grain was quickly divided by each family, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
Suddenly......
"What is this!"
Suddenly, just as the grain in the barrel had just been divided, a man who had been given the grain pointed to the bag containing the grain and shouted loudly.
Hearing his shout, the crowd rushed towards the barrel. At this glance, everyone was suddenly surprised.
In the barrel, it was no longer wheat grains, but wheat bran, that is, ears of wheat!
"How can there be bran?"
Zhang Sanbo exclaimed in surprise, stretched out his hand to fish in the wooden barrel, and suddenly, he fished out more wheat bran, wheat grains can be eaten, this wheat bran is not edible.
There was wheat bran, and the people continued to look for it in the barrel without believing in evil, and soon the whole barrel was turned over, and it was almost all wheat bran and many stones.
"What about other barrels? Look at other barrels. ”
Someone exclaimed, and everyone opened several other barrels.
Like the first barrel, the top of these barrels is filled with wheat grains, but the bottom is wheat bran, and there are many stones in them so that no one can notice the difference in weight.
"Fooled!"
Looking at the wheat bran in a place, Uncle Chen, who was known as a prestige in the village, was darkened in his eyes and fainted.
"What a sin, what a sin!" Zhang Sanbo sat on the ground at once, he was responsible for buying food, but now he was deceived, how could he be worthy of everyone.
"I ...... I ......" Zhang Sanbo opened his mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
The rest of the villagers, who went to buy food, almost fell to the ground softly, and while crying, they kept beating the ground with their hands, breaking their hands, still not noticing, still clapping and shouting.
Lin Yiming didn't expect to be able to give birth to this scene in front of him.
The situation in front of them is nothing more than two kinds, one is that Zhang Sanbo and they together deceive him, and the other is that Zhang Sanbo and they are really fooled.
Lin Yiming believes that Zhang Sanbo and they should not lie to themselves, so it should be Zhang Sanbo and they are fooled.
With a sigh in his heart, Lin Yiming stepped forward, found a villager who went to buy grain, and asked softly, "Where did you go to buy grain?"
"The town's Compassion Farmer Commercial Bank. ”
As soon as they heard the name of the firm, the villagers in the village immediately shouted loudly: "Minong Commercial Bank, since they have deceived us, then we will go to them, we can't just let others deceive us." And those grains, we still have several boxes of grain that have not been opened, these are all evidence, and when I get there to show them, I don't believe they can deny it!"
"Yes, find them!"
Lin Yiming stood in the crowd, listening to the excited crowd, and suddenly said: "We must go to them, this time I will go with you, it just so happens that the children in the village have taken a medicinal bath, and they have also stabilized." Just in time. ”
Lin Yiming said this, but he sighed secretly in his heart, the villagers in the village are too kind, let them go to find it, maybe they will let others deceive them again. It's good that I'm still a human being in two lives, so this time, I'll follow it and see it once.
Everyone had no objection to Lin Yiming's words, the money for selling grain was made by Lin Yiming, and now, Lin Yiming wants to follow once, how could they refuse.
After everyone discussed it, they set off early the next morning.
Because the village is open to water, the young people in the village have stayed. The fields had been abandoned for a long time, and now that they had finally been able to get water, they could not leave.
The young and strong stayed, and only the old farmers came out. What's even more embarrassing is that they have no money to take the official road, so they can only take the ordinary path.
Although the money for buying grain last time was said to be from Lin Yiming, it is impossible for the villagers not to pay a penny, everyone has made up the money, but the majority is Lin Yiming's.
Everyone drove out in a carriage, but they did not encounter any robbers and thieves along the way.
It was getting dark, and the crowd had to stop, find a place, and start setting up their tents.
It took three or four days to get from Nanlin Village to the town. In the meantime, you have to sleep out overnight.
After the old farmers skillfully set up their tents, they immediately began to look for dry firewood and start living. The most feared bandits who sleep in the wild are wild beasts, so it is necessary to prepare enough dry firewood as soon as possible, most wild beasts are afraid of fire.
It was not yet completely dark, but the flames were already lit. As the flames danced, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from afar.
In just a few moments, on the desolate and rugged road, figures emerged from everyone's sight.
"Bandits!"
Lin Yiming followed the firelight and the moonlight that had just risen, and after seeing the appearance of the group of people in front of him, his heart suddenly tightened, there were thirty people in front of him, and each of them was strong and healthy. Several of them were holding a Pu knife in their hands, and one was riding a red war horse.
This is a war horse, not a bad horse that pulls goods, although this war horse does not look pure in color, and it should not be young, but it is very, very surprising to have a war horse.
As soon as more than thirty bandits appeared, they immediately surrounded Lin Yiming and the others in the middle.
Lin Yiming took a step forward without a trace, and walked to the front of everyone in the village, his hands under his sleeves were already tightly clenched, although the number of old farmers in the village was not a lot compared to the other party, but he really wanted to fight. How could the old peasants be the opponents of the bandits. No matter how strong or low these bandits are, each of them is a warrior. Especially the guy on the horse.
Lin Yiming's gaze fell on the red war horse, only this one thief was riding a war horse, so it was no surprise that he was already the leader of the bandits.
The most surprising thing was that this leader did not show his face at all, and on his face, there was a blood-red ghost mask that looked extremely hideous and terrifying.
Why would an ordinary bandit cover his face?
Lin Yiming wondered in his heart, could it be that this thief has another identity, and he is very famous, so he wears a mask. If that's the case, then it's a big problem.
Compared with ordinary bandits, obviously, the thief in front of him is more considerate.
When the old farmers saw the bandits appear, although they were afraid, they still pretended to be brave and stood behind Lin Yiming.
As the bandits surrounded everyone, among the bandits, a very short stature, as thin as a bamboo pole, as if a gust of wind could blow it away, the extremely obscene bandit came out more and more, walked to the opposite side of Lin Yiming, pointed at everyone and said loudly: "Leave something, you can get out!"
As soon as Lin Yiming heard the other party's words, he was a little relieved in his heart, fortunately, these thieves just robbed money and didn't kill people, so it would be easy to do.
Taking a step forward, Lin Yiming said to the thief in front of him, who knew that he had a bad stomach at a glance: "The things on our carriage are just some wheat bran, and it's useless for you to take them away." ”
"What? Wheat bran, don't try to deceive Lao Tzu!" On the thief's face, a mustache slammed upward, full of disdain: "Grandpa has crossed more bridges than you, don't try to deceive grandpa." It's all wheat bran, and you need to find so many people and still pull the wagon away?"
