Chapter 128: Playing Tricks
Zhao Hua said, "Please make way!"
The woman was driven away again.
She gritted her teeth in her heart, but after thinking of something, she suddenly smiled, glanced at them, and then stepped aside.
The people behind continued to come forward to get the steamed buns.
There were two fat women nearby, who had already received the steamed buns. They looked at the coquettish woman with mockery.
One person said, "Look at her, she's being so coquettish again!"
Another sneered, "She thinks the people here are just like us in the mountain..."
Before they could finish their conversation, they were interrupted by the middle-aged man's cough.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The two women were startled, and quickly shut up and turned away.
After they left, the middle-aged man looked at Liu Changying warily, and found that he had no expression and was still handing out steamed buns, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
The middle-aged man walked away.
Liu Changying raised his eyebrows as he looked at his back!
Mountain?
Is it a copycat?
After Liu Changying and the others distributed all the steamed buns, they planned to leave.
When I passed by the middle-aged man, I happened to see him talking to a young man from the village.
The young man is an honest child in the village, sixteen years old, and his name is Hao Xiaodou.
The middle-aged man asked him.
"My little brother, you look kind to me!"
"Have we met before?"
Hao Xiaodou scratched his head shyly.
"The farthest I've been is to town! Uncle, are you from town?"
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, "We came from the south, it's a bit far!"
"Then it seems I recognized the wrong person, sorry!"
Hao Xiaodou quickly waved his hands.
"It's okay if you admit your mistake!"
Hao Xiaodou thought that this uncle was so nice! Speak softly.
The middle-aged man's smile was even gentler, as if he was an elder whom Hao Xiaodou had known for a long time.
“I don’t know much about our village!”
"But I found that the people here are very kind and hospitable!"
Hao Xiaodou was happy, "Yeah, the people here are all very nice!"
The middle-aged man continued, "I also found that our village seems to be bigger than other villages!"
"The road in the middle is also wider than that in other villages!"
"Why is that?"
Hao Xiaodou did not doubt him and explained, "The reason why the road in the middle is so wide is because we have a temple fair every year!"
"The road is narrow, and there are too many people coming to get around!"
When talking about the temple fair, Xiaodou looks very proud.
“The temple fair in our village is so big!”
"There are so many people coming to the temple fair every year!"
"All the dignitaries from the county and town will be here!"
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered.
He continued to ask with a smile, "Then our temple is really popular!"
Hao Xiaodou nodded.
"Of course!"
"This year in our village, because sometimes the seventh sister helps!"
"This year, the income of all families has more than doubled compared to last year!"
"My family sells tofu!"
"I also earned three taels of silver more than last year!"
"The money offered to the temple is even more!"
Hao Xiaodou didn't notice that the eyes of all the people who were fleeing lit up when they heard his words.
The middle-aged man's smile became obviously more sincere. What else did he want to ask?
At this time, Liu Changying stepped forward and patted Hao Xiaodou on the shoulder.
"Xiaodou, why don't you leave? I heard your mother calling you!"
Hao Xiaodou was stunned, waved to the middle-aged man, and ran away.
The middle-aged man was obviously disappointed.
He also wanted to ask about the specific situation.
His eyes flashed and he suddenly looked at Liu Changying.
It was too dark just now and he didn't look carefully. Only now did he realize that this villager was really too handsome.
No wonder she rushed over...
However, no matter how handsome the people in the village are, they are just fools who can only farm.
He thought about it and spoke to Liu Changying with a smile.
"Thank you so much, brother!"
"Please bring us so many steamed buns!!"
"We haven't eaten in days!"
"To be honest, if we don't eat, we really can't hold on!"
Liu Changying had a dull expression and looked a little dull.
"Oh, then you should eat more!"
And then, nothing happened!
Middle-aged man...
"You, you are such a good person!"
"Good things will happen to good people!"
Liu Changying...
"Yeah, I think so too!"
Middle-aged man...
Kind of speechless.
"I heard from that kid just now that there is a temple fair here!"
"very nice!"
“We also have a temple fair in our town!”
"What a pity! Alas!"
The middle-aged man looked regretful.
Liu Changying still had no expression.
"Oh! What a pity!"
Middle-aged man...
Damn it, can he still talk properly...
Seeing that Liu Changying was about to leave, the middle-aged man quickly spoke again.
"Brother, when is the temple fair in our village usually held?"
Liu Changying said, "August 1st!"
The middle-aged man seemed to be thinking about something.
"Oh, that was just a few days ago!"
Liu Changying nodded.
"Um."
The middle-aged man chatted casually for a few more words. Of course, he was the only one talking, and Liu Changying responded with irrelevant remarks.
The middle-aged man was almost injured...
If Liu Changying wants to leave again, the middle-aged man will invite him in directly!
Go back!
After returning, Hao and the others were waiting.
They were relieved to see that he was safe and sound.
"How about it?"
"Can you see anything?"
Liu Changying nodded, "It's basically confirmed! They are definitely bandits!"
"Because most men have calluses on their hands, probably from using weapons for a long time!"
"Their leader has been intentionally or unintentionally asking about the village!"
"Especially those related to temple fairs!"
"Obviously they are eyeing the money for the tribute!"
Bai Shuang covered her mouth in shock, "What should we do now?"
"Should we notify others?"
Liu Changying nodded, "Time is running out, we have to act separately."
"We can't alert the enemy yet!"
Soon, except Bai Shuang who was watching over the house in the yard, everyone else went out!
Liu Shiqi was the youngest, and originally no one allowed her to go. But given Liu Shiqi's fighting ability, everyone could only let her do what she wanted.
Liu Changying went to the village chief's house.
When the village chief heard what he said, he was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his back.
"So what should we do now?"
"It's definitely too late to go to the county seat and report to the police now!"
The village chief regretted that he had been too soft-hearted before. That will lead the wolf into the house!
If we don’t handle it right now, the whole village will be buried with us…
The village chief was so anxious that he was like an ant on hot pan, running around on the ground.
Liu Changying quickly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, Village Chief, I have a way..."
