Chapter 144 This couple has a great relationship
Lin Shiqi said, "Go inform Manager Xu and tell them to be on guard."
"What if they don't believe it?" the little mute girl asked again.
Lin Shiqi scratched his head, "Let's think of a way with all our ability first. If they don't believe us, then we have no other options. We can't report this to the authorities. No one will believe us if we do. Let's go and inform Manager Xu first. We can't just ignore it."
"good."
The mother and son turned around and said something to Zhou Laoer and the others.
"Second brother, Ya Niang said she wanted to stay in the county town to accompany her father to take the exam. We will not go home these few days. We will wait in the county town for my husband to finish the exam, and then we will go back together."
Zhou Laoer asked, "Where do you two live?"
"Just stay at the inn, or stay at Xu's Trading Company. Don't worry about us. You guys go back first."
"All right."
Zhou Laoer and his companions drove the carriage back.
Lin Shiqi and her companions had been to Jixiang County many times. They had money and were on good terms with the Xu Company, so they were not worried that they would have nowhere to go.
The men who were escorting the carriage also made fun of him.
The couple has a really good relationship. They don’t want to be apart during these days of exams. And their adopted daughter is also very filial.
…
Lin Shiqi returned to Xu's Trading Company again, and Manager Xu was a little surprised.
I asked her what was the matter, maybe something was left behind or the accounts were not settled?
He also brought some pastries to treat the little mute girl.
Lin Shiqi just said that he had something urgent to discuss and needed a place to talk.
Manager Xu was a little confused.
Arriving at the back room, Lin Shiqi said, "Manager Xu, do you know that our Taohua Village was attacked by bandits last year?"
"Of course I know." Manager Xu was confused.
He was the manager of the Xu family and had also helped the Zhou family. During the period before the New Year, the price of tofu increased by one cent per pound.
"Last year, when bandits attacked the village, our Zhou family was well prepared because we discovered the snake-shaped logo of Sheshan Village on the wall of our backyard in advance. I was wandering around your Xu's business shop just now and found the same snake-shaped logo..." Lin Shiqi said in a low voice.
On the way here, her little mute mother thought for a long time and came up with a good idea.
The snake-shaped logo was drawn by Xiao Ya Niang.
Sure enough, Manager Xu was shocked when he heard this.
"really?"
"If you don't believe me, go and have a look. There are several snake marks. It seems that they were newly painted. Has Xu's company taken any unusual actions recently?"
Xu's company's expression changed.
"It's the time of the month when our branches come to reconcile accounts. We might really be targeted by bandits. Thank you, Madam Lin, for letting us know. Thank you!"
Lin Shiqi replied, "We have had the same experience. Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find out. If someone were to target us, it would be terrible. Manager Xu, you have to be on guard!"
"I will send a letter to the boss right away to call a meeting with the managers and shopkeepers, and report it to the government."
Xu's Trading Company has several big bosses. The shops are big and there are many investors. The biggest boss used to be from Jixiang County and now works as an official in the provincial capital. All affairs are handled by Manager Xu.
Lin Shiqi said, "That's fine. If you need our help, we are willing to help Xu's Company with all our strength."
Manager Xu looked at the slender Lin Shiqi, and then at the little girl who couldn't speak...
"No need. It's good enough that you came to inform our company. The robbers are too dangerous. You should avoid them. You don't need to deliver goods to our company in the next few days. It won't be too late to deliver goods to our company after we get through this robbery."
Lin Shiqi nodded, "This is a county town, unlike where we are in the countryside. In a county town, no matter how rampant the robbers and bandits are, they can't come in broad daylight. We won't delay the delivery, but they don't dare to steal our business during the day. They will probably come at night, so we have to be more careful at night."
"OK."
Manager Xu had no intention of being polite with Lin Shiqi anymore. Such a big thing had happened and he was the biggest manager in the entire shop and had a huge responsibility.
After asking Lin Shiqi to take him to see the snake marks, he hurried away.
It's not a good idea to cause too much trouble to Lin Shiqi and his mother.
Coincidentally, there is a small inn next to Lin’s Trading Company.
Lin Shiqi went to the inn and asked for a room upstairs, where the mother and son stayed temporarily.
You never know when the bandits from Snake Mountain Village will come, so they both have to be prepared.
Robbers would not come during the day, so she sent the mute girl out to buy food. Then, when she was the only one left in the room, she used two concentric locks to enter the space.
Returned home successfully.
…
At the same time, Zhou Lang in the examination room was writing furiously, when suddenly, he had an idea.
He sensed the vibration of his half of the concentric lock.
It seems to be asking whether to open the concentric lock space.
Zhou Lang consciously agreed.
The next moment, he felt that Lin Shiqi had entered the Concentric Lock Space.
It seems that even if he is not around, giving her the half of the love lock can still be used.
It's just asking him for his consent remotely.
That's good.
immediately,
Zhou Lang frowned. Did Lin Shiqi enter the space at this time out of curiosity? Or did something happen?
If it's just curiosity, that's fine.
If something happens...
I thought a lot all of a sudden.
When Zhou Lang saw the hourglass in the middle of the examination room, he forced himself to collect his thoughts and began to concentrate on the exam.
…
Let’s go back to Lin Shiqi.
She entered the concentric lock space sequentially and was happy at first.
"After taking the dog Zhou Lang's lock, I can really enter the space. Not bad, not bad. If dog Zhou Lang makes me unhappy again, I will kill him and steal his lock..."
She muttered to herself and headed straight for the storage room.
A place to store weapon boxes.
The last time Taohua Village was hit by robbers, they only had real guns and loaded bullets.
Afterwards, everything was attributed to the Mountain Goddess, but some bullets were left behind, which were handles and no one knew when they would bring disaster.
It's different now.
There are so many weapons to choose from in these large boxes.
But she knows everything, she has no experience in this field and doesn't know how to use it.
Only drones she had used before.
The drone she used is a civilian one, which is particularly useful for shooting videos in the wild.
She came in to get this thing.
Use a drone to send a message to Zhou Lang.
She couldn’t enter the examination room, nor could she get any information in.
Zhou Lang took exams during the day and not at night, so he was given a message to climb over the wall at night to guard Xu's company.
She had a hunch that the third in command of Sheshan was a ruthless character, and Xu's firm might not be able to keep it going on her own.
Even if they asked soldiers from the government office to guard it, they might not be able to do so.
If it's like last time, if they can't rob, they will destroy it and burn down Xu's business, which will also be a fatal loss.
When it comes to dealing with robbers, Zhou Lang is indispensable.
The little mute girl can help, but she is just a child after all, and we can't let her take risks.
