Chapter 206: Guarding against thieves
The next day when she entered the city, Tang Caiyun stuck her head out of the mule cart and looked at the bustling scene of people coming and going on the street, her eyes full of curiosity.
She had never been to the county town when she was 40 years old. Not to mention the county town, she rarely went to the town. It was not her turn to do the shopping at home, and she was only fit to be a slave at home. She only went to the market in the town with her parents when she was unmarried. She still remembers the string of candied haws her father bought for her. It has become a sweet memory that she often recalls over the years.
"Aunt, it's too early now. You should come with us to the store and sit for a while. We will send you to the county government office when it gets light." Tang Luwu said to Tang Caiyun beside her.
"Okay." Tang Caiyun nodded repeatedly.
Song Ruize drove the mule cart, and Qin Huiyin accompanied him. Originally, Song Ruize did not allow her to accompany him, but she felt that he was too lonely, so she insisted on staying by his side.
Song Ruize put the cloak on her, tidied it for her, and wrapped her up tightly, leaving only her little face exposed.
He found himself getting more and more accustomed to her company. If she was not around, he would feel empty, as if the colors had disappeared and his world was black and white again.
"The Sisters' Chuanchuanxiang is in front." Qin Huiyin pointed ahead. "Brother, if you are free, come to me and I will make you your favorite food. However, I will be away from home sometimes. After all, you still have to come back to the village often."
"Um."
The mule cart is parked in the parking area.
Song Ruize got off the car and harnessed the mule cart.
Chuan Chuan Xiang does not do breakfast business, so there are no waiters working there right now.
"Sister Luwu, take your aunt inside to sit for a while and get some food."
They left early and didn't have breakfast.
Tang Yixiao had already gotten off the car at the entrance of the clinic, and took Tang Sanmei back to the clinic for further treatment. Tang Sanmei could now make simple sounds, but she had not yet fully recovered.
"What about you?"
"I walked my brother back to the dam."
"It's a bit far from here to the dam. I can go back by myself." Song Ruize said.
"I want to go for a walk. I won't have time to go out for some fresh air when I get busy later. Can't you let me go out for a walk?" Qin Huiyin said, pulling Song Ruize away.
The morning market is always very lively. In the past, Qin Huiyin was busy with her business and had almost no time to hang out. When she was free, the market was over and the atmosphere was gone.
Qin Huiyin moved among the crowd.
Song Ruize followed closely behind.
Qin Huiyin bought a lot of snacks and gave half to Song Ruize, who ate them all obediently. Even though some of the food tasted strange to Qin Huiyin, he didn't waste it and ate her share as well.
It takes a long time to walk from the Sister Chuanchuanxiang shop to the dam, but when Song Ruize saw the entrance to the dam, he realized for the first time that this distance was not long, and was even a little short.
"Sister-in-law Chuntao, Sister-in-law Juying..." Qin Huiyin saw Xiang Chuntao, Wang Juying and four others doing business at the gate of the dam, and went up to see how they were doing business.
Jiang Qibin and others were having breakfast there. When they saw Song Ruize appear, they hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Ze, if you don't come back, we will go look for you."
When Song Ruize heard what he said, he knew that trouble was coming again.
There were thousands of workers in the dam, with all kinds of people and all kinds of conspiracies. He, a young man, became the dam chief, but few people accepted his advice and many of them wanted to cause trouble.
He glanced at Qin Huiyin and winked at Jiang Qibin.
Jiang Qibin understood that he should not tell the bad news in front of Huiyin. Forget it, since the person is back, they can deal with it slowly behind closed doors!
"Is there any trouble?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"No. Brother Ze is the chief, and there are many things waiting for him to deal with! Once he leaves, everyone will lose their backbone." Jiang Qibin said.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period. I'll treat you to breakfast today, so feel free to eat as much as you want. You should also help my brother share the work in the future, as he can't handle it all by himself."
"Can we eat?" Jiang Qibin looked at Song Ruize.
Song Ruize glanced at him and said, "Here you go, don't you want to eat it?"
"I will eat it, of course." Jiang Qibin said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Xiang, give me another twenty skewers of meat."
"Brother, I'll go back first." Qin Huiyin said.
Song Ruize nodded: "Okay."
Qin Weiyin walked a long way and when she looked back, she saw Song Ruize standing in the same place where he had just been. His eyes were fixed on her and he waved at him.
Song Ruize responded by imitating her.
"Brother Ze, stop looking and go away." Jiang Qibin lay on top of him.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Song Ruize said calmly.
"While you were away, those evil spirits played tricks again!" Jiang Qibin said, "Last night, my brothers and I caught a few little mice who actually wanted to steal materials and sell them. It seems that this is not the first or second time, I am afraid they have been selling for a while. Because the quantity is not large at a time, and we are also losing it every day, we could not find it. This time we caught them red-handed."
"Has it been tried?"
"They are very stubborn and say it was their own idea. But, these few minions can't accomplish such a big thing. No matter how stupid I am, I know there is someone behind them directing them."
"Let's go and take a look."
"Okay."
In the cave, several men who were tied up tightly looked at Song Ruize walking towards them with his back to the light, and they shuddered collectively.
As soon as this guy appeared, the whole cave became gloomy and terrifying.
He is obviously young, and many of them can be his father, so why do they still feel instinctive fear when they see him appear?
Song Ruize pulled out the dagger, which flashed silver.
The blade slid across the face of one of the men, and the cold touch brought a sharp pain.
"I am best at peeling off a piece of animal skin completely. If you want to sell the animal skin for a good price, the animal cannot die. The skin must be peeled off while it is still alive. When the skin is peeled off, the animal is still breathing and calling out. In fact, there is no difference between humans and animals. Maybe you can try peeling off human skin to see if it is fun."
"How dare you...this is worthless human life..." the person next to him cursed.
"This is a dam, with thousands of people working here every day. It's not surprising that an accident happens occasionally, right? Anyway, as long as you pay a little silver as compensation, your lives will be bought out." Song Ruize said as he slashed the man's neck with the dagger.
"Ah... don't kill me..." the man screamed.
"No need to interrogate him, just deal with him directly! As long as that person makes a move again, we will know who it is. Why waste time with a few dying people?" Song Ruize stood up.
"Okay, boss, you're right. We'll deal with them immediately and make sure no one will notice, as if they had never appeared." Jiang Qibin grinned.
"Before they die, I will peel off their skin first. Those who have offended me cannot die too easily. They must enjoy the process of death."
