  Chapter 327 Weird

  Yan Lao Er and Yan Yu followed to collect food for a few days.

   I also met several villages where grain was ordered by the grain dealer. After comparing their voices and appearances, they were all the same person.

Yan Lao Er murmured to his daughter: "I don't know where the grain merchant came from. He visited all the villages near Huju. Fortunately, he didn't make an order from house to house, otherwise we would be too embarrassed to grab the grain ordered by others. .”

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Father, are you still embarrassed? Didn't you say that you are quick and slow, and you let me ride a donkey back to the village to collect money and pull vegetables to call people, lest people go back on their word, and stare at one person when I go to a village?" Village, we must let the people in our village bring food back..."

Yan Lao Er glared: "How can a grain merchant compare with us? He is in business, and it is normal for him to make money and lose money. We need these grains to survive, so we have to prioritize. Judging by his posture of collecting grain, he should be a big deal." Merchants, it's okay, just pay some travel expenses and labor, and you can afford it.”

"It's not necessarily a compensation. If we can't get the grain here, he can go elsewhere..." Yan Lao Er snorted and asked in confusion: "Why doesn't he go to Linhai to collect grain? Linhai Mansion is calm this year and it is a bumper harvest year." , the climate over there is better than ours in Guanzhou, so there is no need to hoard so much grain for the winter, so there is more surplus grain? Sigh, where is this grain merchant from? Why are you looking far away?"

   These days, I just want to grab the food back to the village as soon as possible, and I don't have time to think about these details.

  When it was mentioned at this time, both father and daughter felt strange.

  Yan Yu thought about it carefully, and made sure no one mentioned where the grain merchant came from, only that it was a foreign government.

  You can come to Guanzhou from outside the government, usually you will only take the official road of Gufeng, or enter Changping from Linhai.

  If you enter from Gufeng, Gufeng City is sealed, but the surrounding villages and towns are safe, wouldn't it be more convenient to collect grain nearby?

  If you come from Linhai Mansion, you can collect grain directly in Linhai Changping, why go so far to come to Huju...

  Let's talk about transportation, Huju is only accessible by land, so it's not as cheap as the waterway on the other side of the sea.

  Yan Lao Er and Yan Yu knew how much food was negotiated, because they ate all the food and transported it back to Xiao'an Village.

   "We've been talking about this grain merchant, but we've been following you, Uncle Liang, and the others for several days, but we haven't met him once." Yan Er said.

  This is very unreasonable.

   It stands to reason that the grain was negotiated, and it was agreed that someone would come and take it away after paying the tax. They walked so many villages, they must have met one or two people.

  But these days, not even a single person is seen.

   It's like, deliberately avoiding them.

  Yan Yu thought for a while, and asked: "Father, if it were you, someone robbed you of the deal, but the other party has a background in the government, you would consider yourself unlucky, so let's forget it?"

"That's definitely not possible. You have to show your face. When you meet someone, the way here is to admit bad luck and pay compensation. If you don't do this business, you have to talk to the other party to make people appreciate it. Knowing how to deal with people, one more friend and one more way, maybe you can use it in the future, it's not certain.

   There are also people who have a bad temper, so you can't just forget about it, making noises, making some noise to vent your dissatisfaction, it's all possible.

   There is no movement here, which is really rare. "Yan Lao Er said.

  Yan Yu turned round and round in place.

  The little brows became tighter and tighter.

"Father, go and ask again, what does the grain merchant look like? What kind of clothes do you wear, what accent do you speak, how many people do you bring with you, how did you get here, whether it's an ox cart or a donkey cart or a mule cart, since they are foreigners , go directly to Murakami to collect grain, someone needs to point it out, is there anyone here to introduce..."

  Yan's second son became serious when he heard his daughter's question so detailed.

   "What did you think of?"

"I just think they're weird." Yan Yu frowned and said, "I hope it's just me thinking too much, but father, this grain merchant has nowhere to go, no whereabouts, and suddenly popped up to collect grain in Huju... If you say it's the nearest It is convenient for transportation, and the closest one is Huju over there!"

  She pointed in the direction outside the pass.

  Yan's second child was shocked!

"Oh my God! How can I think it looks so similar when you say that!" Yan Lao Er patted his thigh, "Bei Rong can come over the mountain, come down from the top of our village, and come down from the top of the next village. Those Beirong people who came to our village look a lot like the people in the Guan, they don't look like anything on the surface, they can practice speaking, and they also have money to buy food... Yes, they have a lot of money, no, no can match up.”

  Yan Yu nodded, so she said that no matter how much she inquired, since she was in a border town, she could not be too careful.

  Yan's second child immediately went to ask someone.

  In order to prove it in many ways, he rode his daughter's bald donkey to several villages.

  Yan Yu waited anxiously while preparing for the worst.

She found Luo Da and said to him, "Uncle Luo, I just heard from the servants that the second master of the government office asked about the arrow towers and walls of our village, and he seemed not very happy that the elder master sent someone from the quarry helper."

  Luo Dali immediately stopped what he was doing, and hurriedly asked, "What else are you talking about?"

"Those yamen servants also said that the second master probably thought that we needed manpower to help us with other tasks, and the high wall of the archery tower was just mentioned, and felt that the second master was deceived by us." Yan Yu looked aggrieved. appearance.

Luo Da digested it for a while, and said: "It's okay, let's sit upright, after the busy few days, we will seize the time to build walls and buildings. There are already shadows on those archery towers, and the walls will be built quickly. There are a lot of people doing this work in the village now, as long as the ashes promised by the old man are brought in, we will surround the walls as soon as a year ago."

   Luo Da also became ruthless.

   This is intended to stop work in cold weather, so as not to let the second master be picky, so as to save people and things from becoming yellow.

   "Hurry up and let people see our watchtower, the second master will believe it?" Yan Yusha said seriously: "When we go back, we will help move the bricks."

  Luo Dao: "It's no use, you and your father can go outside to collect food in peace, and when we go back at night, we can just work in the dark for two days."

  He thought what Xiao Er said was right, so he set up the archery tower and stood it there first, so that the second master would know that they were not talking empty words.

  When Yan Laoer came back, Luo Da and the others had already transported grain back to the village.

  Yan Yu knew something was wrong when she saw her father's face.

   "I'm afraid it's really the grandsons of the Beirong gang. I asked a lot of people, and they all said that the grain merchant was accompanied by a few guys. They looked strong, big-shouldered, and didn't speak. The grain merchant was alone to deal with it."

   "The clothes she wears don't fit well, like ready-made clothes bought in a store."

   "They had an ox cart, and the grain merchant was sitting back and forth, but someone recognized that the ox cart belonged to a cart dealer, probably just bought it."

  “No one introduced them, they went to Murakami by themselves and said they wanted to buy food.”

   "I chatted with people for a while. Guess what, the villages they plan to collect grain have all been harmed by Beirong, and they know who they want to lead the way."

   "There is one more..." Yan Laoer said word by word: "They left in the wrong direction. They didn't go to the city or the town, but to the mountains. Do you think they live in the mountains?"

  Yan Yu was silent.

   "It's probably my father. They don't have household registration, so they can't live in an inn."
