Chapter 719 721. Nothing
But once they arrived, they were disappointed.
There were some stalls, but they only sold eggs, chicks and other things brought by the farmers themselves.
The noodle stalls they imagined did not exist at all.
"There's really nothing here," Gu Mingdong had never seen such a desolate place before, "Let's go back, there's nothing to buy."
Gu Leping pursed his lips and silently crossed himself out in his heart. This place is really poor. It would be difficult to do business here.
Gu Benluo didn't expect that he came here with high hopes, but returned disappointed. "Forget it, let's go back to the inn. There should be breakfast."
What if I don't go back? I can't just open my mouth and drink in the northwest wind here.
When the brothers returned to the inn arm in arm, Gu Wenheng just glanced at them coldly and lowered his head to eat his breakfast.
Gu Benluo and the others carefully walked around and came to another table, where Mingfeng had already prepared breakfast for them.
There is a big difference between following Gu Wenheng's side. Just now, they took a look and saw at least a dozen items on the table, and each of them was a fine pastry. Their table only had a big pot of multi-grain porridge and some buns and multi-grain steamed buns.
They are accustomed to this situation.
Gu Wenheng had already made it clear to them that he didn't bring them out to enjoy themselves and show off. They had to eat and live with the guards below, and also help do what they could on the road.
When Gu Benluo first started eating these things, he was a little uncomfortable. But when he saw the Gu brothers eating with relish, his appetite also improved and he slowly accepted them.
Before leaving, Gu Wenheng glanced at their table and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Realizing that Gu Wenheng was about to leave, Gu Benluo and the others did not dare to delay. They quickly finished the porridge in their bowls, grabbed two buns each, and quickly chased after him.
"I have already asked the county magistrate. It's not far, but the road there is narrow and carriages can't get in." Jiang Mili stood beside Gu Wenheng. "Sir, should we go there now, or should we ask someone to repair the road first?"
We followed them all the way to Yi Province. The guards were not only good at protecting their masters, but were also experts at clearing mountains and building roads.
"No, since it's not far, let's just walk there. Notify everyone and let them get ready." Gu Wenheng was not planning to go to the county government office, "Find someone to lead the way."
As soon as I walked out of the inn, County Magistrate Kuang was already waiting there.
Captain Chen went to inform Xinsheng Village yesterday, but he did not return all night, so he will lead the team personally today.
Fortunately, there was a lawyer who knew the place, otherwise it would have been a real joke this time.
Xinsheng Village
Captain Chen could have returned to the county town yesterday, but the villagers went to several hilltops to hunt, and only a few people stayed in the village.
Even if they wanted to notify, they couldn't notify everyone. Captain Chen had no choice but to stay and search the mountains and fields with them.
Due to this delay, it was already dark. It would not be safe to go out of the mountain alone at night, so he had to spend the night in the village.
Early the next morning, looking at the villagers standing there in a row, Captain Chen asked them to take care of their own fields. It was a bit too deliberate for them to gather in the village to welcome the Censor.
"Why would they, such high-ranking officials, come to our place to suffer?" Boss Yu shook his head. "We have lost a lot of prey since we came back last night."
"This is the difference between being an ordinary citizen and a bandit," Wu Xiaoliu used a hoe to clear away the weeds that had just sprouted, "Actually, this is quite good, because it means we don't have to hide anymore in the future.
Before you came back, I asked Captain Chen about this. We now have land to farm, a house to live in, and a household registration all because of this Lord Gu.
This is a person who has done us a great favor. Let alone waiting here for a day, I would be willing to offer him a longevity tablet."
"Really?" Boss Yu stopped what he was doing and said, "So it seems like he's a good official?
Will you not mind our previous identities and not make things difficult for us when the time comes?"
Wu Xiaoliu, "You're overthinking it. Such a big shot wouldn't even take us seriously.
He came to take a look, probably to see if the local officials took his words seriously.
It doesn't matter if we make less money. We were able to sell so many prey before, probably thanks to this adult.
Without him coming, we can't sell it at a high price.
Tell your brothers over there to stop looking so stern. People who don’t know might think we don’t welcome them.”
Boss Yu looked back and realized that this was true. These people were in a bad mood today. If someone didn’t know, they would think someone owed them dozens of taels of silver.
He also realized that this was not right. After all, their Xinsheng Village had not yet elected a new village chief. If he failed at this moment, he would never be able to compete for the position of village chief in the future.
He didn't bother to continue chatting with Wu Xiaoliu, and went over to call everyone together. When everyone dispersed, they all had smiles on their faces.
"Do you think my expression looks good? Does it look like I'm happy?" Tian Laimi rubbed his face hard and showed a smile that he thought was happy.
"You are smiling maliciously, I guess the kids will avoid you if they see you." He Lu smiled at him, "I'll learn from you and show your teeth.
See if this is a lot better.”
Boss Yu felt helpless when he saw such a fool. “You two stop grinning like idiots here. If someone doesn’t know, they might think you are up to something bad.
If you can't laugh, try to think of happy things. You are making me feel creepy. It's better to keep a straight face than before."
The two people who were disliked didn't mind and grabbed the people next to them and read their smiling faces.
Boss Yu glanced at Gu Letian and took back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Knowing that he has this kind of personality, I don't think he can change it no matter how difficult it is.
Gu Letian, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up at this moment, "Boss, I wonder if I can ask them about the news in Shangjing later?"
"You want to find out about your family," said Boss Yu, but he was not optimistic. "It seems that you were lost not far from Shangjing, but such a big shot would not know the life of the lower class.
Don't be so stupid as to give money to those people. It's not easy for us to save some money. It's better for you to stay here and find a wife and have a child in the future, which can also be regarded as continuing the incense of your Gu family."
Even though Gu Letian usually doesn't like to keep quiet, this person has something wrong and can't hide it on his face at all.
Back then, he brought the person to the mountains, and after much trouble, we were able to dig out some information from him. It would probably be difficult to find his relatives like this.
As for going back to my hometown, let's not joke about it. It's simply not feasible to walk thousands of miles back on foot.
