    Fortunately, it was getting late at this time. When Jiang Dashan and Mr. Xie rushed to Xie Wu's hiding place, the sky became dark.  The two of them didn't even bother to talk to Xie Wuduo. They just put their things on their horses and rode back.

    They didn¡¯t stop until it was completely dark and they could no longer travel.

    "Let's find a place to rest on the spot. Be careful." Jiang Dashan said.  Along the way, he knew that no one was following him.  But there is no guarantee that no one will follow during the night.

    "What's going on?" Xie Wu asked.

    "Afraid that if we buy a lot of things, we will be targeted by someone?" Mr. Xie said lightly.

    "It's hard to say for sure. Maybe people here are just curious about them. After all, the two of them bought so much food and brought horses with them, which really gives people reason to doubt.  After all, this is a small county, and it is estimated that there are very few people like them coming to purchase.  If not, people will think that they are not good citizens, and they may even be bandits who come out to purchase and inquire about the situation.  Although they traveled a lot and passed through many places, in fact they never encountered serious bandits at all.

    They ate dry snacks with the cold water they brought with them, and the three of them filled their stomachs roughly.  We found a sheltered place and rested.

    "Xiao Wu, be more alert at night and don't doze off. I'll take a nap first and I'll change with you in the middle of the night." Mr. Xie was worried before he fell asleep, and he made another confession.  He and Jiang Dashan went to the city and were much more tired than Xie Wu, so they handed over the task of keeping watch to Xie Wu.

    "Okay. Go to sleep, I understand." Xie Wu complained softly.

    Young Master, this makes him seem as if he is not keeping vigil seriously.  Although this was his first night vigil, he didn't have to keep vigil in front of him at all, and he didn't even see a single person.  But it was different here. They were carrying so much food, so of course he knew to be extra careful.

    But it was a peaceful night, nothing happened.

    The three of them walked back for more than an hour. Jiang Dashan said unwillingly: "We rarely go out, so we go back with four to five hundred kilograms of grain. Three families can't eat for a long time if they share one share. We only bought salt."  Ten kilograms, eaten up in a month or two.¡±

    "You want to go back and buy some more?" Mr. Xie asked.

    In fact, he also had this idea in his heart. After all, he planned to leave Luwei Village quickly and go to Beijing.  He wouldn't worry if there wasn't enough food left at home.  The food purchased this time is only enough for everyone to eat for two months.  After that, they left, and only a few women and children were left in Luwei Village. It was difficult to buy food so far away.

    "Well. If I don't get more this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it next time? People here seem to doubt us." Jiang Dashan said.

    He and Mr. Jiang raised food together last year. They traveled to several places and managed to collect 50,000 kilograms of grain. It was because of this food that Mr. Jiang and his family were killed.  At that time, he knew that not only were some places suffering from famine, but some people were also taking the opportunity to hoard food.  This small county town has not yet been affected, probably because of its remoteness, allowing them to buy food smoothly.  But no one can tell what the situation will be like here if the time is longer.

    "I feel the same way. But we didn't do anything bad." Mr. Xie said.

    "Why do you care so much? If I go there again, I want to see the excitement." Xie Wu said.  Every time the young master always asked him to hide aside with his horse, which not only bored him to death, but also made him worry about the young master.

    "Let's go cut some bundles of firewood and pretend to be selling firewood. We'll go in again and buy some food." Mr. Xie suddenly remembered that there was someone who came into the city at the same time as them to pick up firewood and sell it. They could do the same thing.

    "This is a good idea. Let Xie Wu go and take a look this time. Maybe they won't care if it's someone else." Jiang Dashan said.

    The three of them stopped going and gathered firewood on the spot. Fortunately, this place was originally a desolate hilltop with no one. There were a lot of dead grass and branches, but they were only twigs. They seemed to be of poor quality when sold.  Then, the three of them picked up and chopped things and headed up the mountain. They gradually deviated from the road and unexpectedly encountered a nest of wild rabbits in a small depression covered with tender grass.

    The three of them were very skilled and used their own methods. Wherever they could let them go, they managed to catch seven fat wild rabbits in one go.  Except for the three largest ones that were shot and wounded, two of them were tied up by Xie Wu with a rope. Mr. Xie actually knocked two of them unconscious with stones.

    "We got a good harvest this time." Xie Wu said with a smile.  These wild rabbits grew very fat. He wanted to kill the rabbits, skin them and roast the rabbit meat immediately.

    "Stop drooling, we will sell these wild rabbits, plus these firewood." Mr. Xie interrupted his sweet dream.  The wild rabbit is definitely better than himA piece of coarse cloth, covered tightly.  Then the two of them went to two grocery stores respectively and bought ten pounds of salt, a few snacks, some assorted candies, several knives of bacon, large coarse porcelain bowls, and earthen jars and jars.  After picking up a few, Ling Ling always packed another big backpack.

    Then, Mr. Xie used a thick steamed bun as reward, and found two children and bought ten pounds of salt for them.  When passing by a shop that specializes in buying pens, inks, paper and inkstones, Mr. Xie thought about it and spent three taels of silver to buy some ordinary pens, inks, papers and inkstones.  Pens, ink, paper and inkstones were more expensive than food. Although he brought some of these things, they were all high-end goods and could not be used casually.

    This kind of ordinary stuff is just enough to enlighten children.  Dalang Xinhu and Xiao Shitou Ping'er are all old enough to study.  The Xie family are all illiterate, no matter how high their level of literacy is, but they still have the ability to educate several children.

    This time the two of them are not as eye-catching as before. After all, it is very common for people to carry large backpacks and carry handbags on their shoulders.  There were many people going to the market, and the two of them deliberately made themselves look miserable, not much different from ordinary villagers.  Even when buying pens and ink, people never expected that they could actually spend three taels of silver in one go.

    However, when they look at them like this, others take it for granted that their whole family supports one scholar.  Those whose families have scholars tend to have a higher status. The boss was very polite to them later and even wanted to recommend some books to them, but they had no use for those books.  It would be better for him to keep two books silently.

    The two of them carried a lot of things on their shoulders, on their backs, and in their hands.  Seeing that he was almost out of the city gate, Mr. Xie still felt that he had not bought enough grain. After experiencing the pain of lack of food, he always felt that it was rare to buy food, so he should buy more and save it for the time being.

    But today, the two of them didn¡¯t dare to bring the horses in, and they didn¡¯t dare to buy hundreds of kilograms of grain like before.  In the end, the two of them discussed it, went to the cooked food stall, rounded up all the steamed buns, steamed buns, pancakes, etc. that had not been sold out, and cut up another package of braised pork, which was enough to fill another basket.  Seeing that they couldn't take it anymore, the two stopped and happily left the city.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
