Chapter 143: Buying Bricks One Change
Hu Yingjie is the eldest grandson of the head of the village of Hu, although he has rarely walked around outside these years, but what he should know has not fallen, who burns the brick kiln nearby, who burns it well and the price is fair, he really knows, seeing Xu Huaiyi's sincere and polite question, he reported a place name.
It's just that the expression is a little weird.
Xu Huaiyi doesn't know what he is weird, a person with a big heart, just this little benefit, just jump over if he doesn't know, his curiosity is not so heavy.
However, other things should be asked clearly, so I enthusiastically chased him and asked a lot of things, even which temple monk chanted the scriptures and spent less money, but did not ask about the plague that caused Hutian Village to almost wipe out the village five years ago.
Hu Yingjie has thought of a word to deal with, who thinks, a word is useless, pondering all the way, and not coming up with a reason, after going home, he reported to his grandfather 1510 about going out to do errands in the morning, and at the end, he couldn't help asking, "Grandfather, why didn't he ask?" Haven't you heard of it yet? ”
The village chief murmured, "No, these victims can leave their hometowns to escape from the famine before the disaster gets out of control, which shows that they not only have eyesight, courage and courage are not bad, more importantly, they also went all the way to the capital, you see that their dress is a little shabby, but their spirit and complexion are not like they have been offended, the most commendable thing is that their food and belongings are also in ......."
Speaking of this, he paused, and a fine light flashed in his cloudy eyes, "In this Xujia Village, there are capable people, such a person, assigned to our village, how can he not ask clearly in advance?" When they came yesterday, they saw that there were so many empty houses in our village, and there was no surprise on their faces, and it was obvious that they had already inquired. ”
Hu Yingjie is not stupid, he reacted at the slightest mention, and his indifferent eyebrows suddenly deepened, "Then they don't ask...... Because of avoidance? ”
Village Chief Hu sighed complicatedly, "Perhaps, there is no shortage of smart people in this world, that young man named Xu Huaiyi is not simple, contact him in the future, grow a few more eyes, don't be tricked." ”
"Yes, grandfather."
At this time, Xu Huaiyi, who was considered not simple, was buying green bricks, and the brick kiln recommended by Hu Yingjie for him was still very reliable, the price was fair, and the quality was not wrong.
The other party was quite enthusiastic at the beginning, and the money-making business came to the door, how could it not be welcomed? But after the negotiation was completed, it was time to load the car, and when I asked if it was sent to Hutian Village, my face changed.
The steward looked at him like he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Xu Huaiyi, "......"
You don't have to exaggerate that, do you?
The brick kiln steward dared to ask again, "This little brother just said...... Where to send it? ”
Xu Huaiyi repeated in a straight voice, "Hutian Village." ”
The brick kiln steward's eyelids jumped, and he laughed dryly, "Hehe, Hutian Village, it's really ...... there." Hehe, I haven't been here for many years, and the road is not familiar. ”
In other words, I don't want to make any money.
Xu Huaiyi only deeply realized how deep the people's fear of Hutian Village was at this moment, and he said with a big grin, "It's easy to say that the road is not familiar, I know, wait for the car to be loaded, I am in front, you follow, you will not go wrong......"
Brick kiln manager, "......"
Why don't you understand the rejection? Too tactful?
His eyes were too straightforward, Xu Huaiyi was amused, pointed to himself, as well as Meng Erzhu and the complaint who came with him, and pointed out his identity with a smile, "We are all disaster victims, we fled from Qingzhou, and we only moved to Hutian Village yesterday, I don't understand anything, my eyes are black, and the poor master in the yamen said that if we are assigned there, we can only go there." ”
The brick kiln manager suddenly realized, "No wonder......"
No wonder when he came to buy bricks, those people in Hutian Village hadn't come out and walked around for many years, or he would have been startled when he heard it just now.
Xu Huaiyi knew what he was curious about, so he continued, "It's not easy for us to inquire about the past affairs of Hutian Village, but since we have been assigned there, we have to live, right?" Fortunately, there are a lot of empty houses in the village, so that we don't have to sleep in the wilderness anymore, okay, there is a place to go, don't you say? ”
The brick kiln manager nodded subconsciously, no, no matter how bad Hutian Village is, it is also a place to settle down, otherwise wouldn't he be a homeless person? His eyes flashed, "What, you all slept in those vacant houses last night?" ”
Xu Huaiyi's face was frank, "Yes, we have all bought it, the house is not expensive, and the preservation is okay, just clean it up a little, speaking of which, it really saves a lot of effort." ”
The brick kiln steward continued to inquire curiously, and his tone was mysterious, "Then you all sleep soundly?" Did you hear any strange movements at night? ”
Xu Huaiyi shook his head, "No, there is no movement, we all sleep until dawn." ”
He really didn't lie to him, he went to the transfer procedures with the villagers in the morning, and everyone chatted together, and when it came to this, except for some fear at the beginning, he really fell asleep when he couldn't get through, and he didn't even have a dream, not to mention how fragrant his sleep was.
The brick kiln manager was skeptical, "Really? ”
Xu Huaiyi patted his chest categorically and said, "It's true, besides, you look at the faces of our brothers, as if they can't sleep well?" ”
That's really not like it, more than he looks at the spirit, the brick kiln manager muttered in wonder, "Then why does everyone say that there are dirty things in Hutian Village, and they run out at night?" ”
Xu Huaiyi didn't answer this, and instead said, "If you really don't feel at ease, then that's it, you send the bricks to the entrance of the village, and we move home by ourselves, the money is still the one we talked about just now, what do you think?" ”
Speaking of this, the brick kiln manager was embarrassed to get up, "Then how can it be, a yard is a yard, our brick kiln don't look small, you can never do that deceptive thing, the rules set when the kiln was built, home delivery, how can you not count?" ”
When Xu Huaiyi heard this, he hurriedly thanked him.
The other party said politely and urged the people below to hurry up and load the car.
After driving the mule cart on the road, Gao Zhuang said in a low voice, "Huaiyi, it seems that the people in these neighboring villages have a deep prejudice against Hutian Village. ”
Xu Huaiyi said disapprerovingly, "It's okay, one day, the people's impression of Hutian Village will change, just look at what we say and do, isn't it an example just now?" ”
Hearing this, Gao Zhuang thought about it, and after a while, his eyes brightened and asked, "Huaiyi, do you have any good ideas?" Let's talk about it, let's follow the joy. (End of chapter)
