In addition, Shanshui Village has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and abundant forage. With a sufficient supply of forage every day, the plants grow very quickly.
After selecting more than twenty male rabbits that hadn't been eaten yet, Fan Jin went with Hu Wenhua to the prefectural city to sell them.
Most families in the village have two or three animals. They get up early, kill them, and then each person carries them to the village entrance to gather.
When Fan Qian saw Hu Wenhua driving the donkey cart and the plump rabbit on the cart, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
Then she saw Fan Jin next to the carriage, pursed her lips, and looked away.
They're just a few rabbits. If we hadn't been poisoned in front of our house, we would have raised them to be much fatter than theirs!
Everyone else greeted Fan Qian and Hu Wenhua.
The two responded one by one.
Soon everyone who had gone out gathered. Those who needed to buy grain pulled their carts back, while those who didn't need to buy grain didn't pull their carts, but they still had some odds and ends to buy. Since there were too many vehicles around and it was inconvenient to be out, everyone decided to carpool.
There were thirty people in total who went out, carrying thirty large knives. As before, the knives were hidden under the car and could not be seen from the outside.
The old village chief led his men to escort the group to the village gate. Only after watching the procession gradually disappear into the distance did he return to close the gate and instruct the young men on patrol to be on their best.
Only after receiving a resounding response did they return home to await further news.
Today is the first time we're selling rabbits. This is a major event that will determine the future livelihood of the village, and it's something that every household is very concerned about!
Fearing a low selling price, and even more afraid of not being able to sell at all, people were worried about the current grain prices in the prefectural city, as well as the safety of their family members who had gone out. Those who remained in the village repeatedly went to the village gate to ask if the people who had gone out had returned.
The boy guarding the sandbag dike replied with a grin, "No, I didn't get home until dark last time, so I probably won't be early today either."
The people below have always been like that.
Then they heard the boy who had just answered shout again, "He's back! He's back! The rabbit seller is back!"
As the sound of the gong echoed throughout the village, people from every household put down their work and came out to join in the fun.
Shui Qing and the others heard the sound of the gong and followed it toward the village.
The gate opened, and every man who entered had a beaming smile on his face, except for Fan Qian.
The old village chief felt reassured upon seeing this.
Others stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
"Has it been sold?"
Xu Laosan spoke first: "Sold! It sold very smoothly."
Upon hearing that the sale had gone smoothly, the onlookers breathed a sigh of relief.
He hurriedly asked again, "What's the price?"
"Who bought all of them?"
Will those people buy it again next time?
Amidst the commotion, it was difficult to hear clearly. The old village chief raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, but everyone was too excited, and the scene was temporarily out of control.
Finally, Fan Xiaoliu climbed onto the embankment and banged on a gong to signal everyone to be quiet, and only then did the situation stabilize.
Li Wenyang said loudly enough for everyone around to hear, "There are many more disaster victims now, and the roads in the prefectural city are not very smooth. We were squeezed everywhere. Fortunately, Wenhua led the way, and we were able to find a place."
After that, none of the people dared to put the rabbit on the vehicle; instead, they held it tightly in their hands.
The city was not as peaceful as before; several robberies were seen on a short street!
Crying, cursing, and stomping sounds kept filling the air; everyone could only take care of themselves and couldn't think of others.
They followed Hu Wenhua closely all the way to the destination.
