Chapter 316: Searching for Food



Now Duan Yidao is spending the whole day in the courtyard with Zhao the blacksmith, working on how to make a bed crossbow. Last time he was away for a few days looking for materials, so there's no reason for him to disturb them at this moment.

Zhang Rushan said, "With Uncle Wei here, there shouldn't be any problems."

Ji Ming glanced at him quietly without saying anything, thinking, this is far from the truth.

"What's the matter? Can it be more important than finding food?" asked Gouwazi stupidly.

Song Yuehua said, "Don't worry, I will go with you."

The three of them didn't show much emotion after hearing it, but when Ji Ming said that he would find Jin Shaoyang again, Erguotou and Gouwazi both excitedly agreed.

Song Yuehua, "..."

Next, based on the information provided by Ji Ming, the few people selected a family with the surname Zhao and another family with the surname Gan.

According to Ji Ming, the Zhao family is in the food business and has two large warehouses at home. The rice and grain used on a daily basis is all brought back from other places by his brother-in-law who runs a business. Each time he brings back enough for one or two years. As long as people are there, there will definitely be enough food.

The Gan family originally did reselling business in other places. Later, the world became worse and worse. He took all his money and bought three shops in the county town with his wife and children. He rented two of them to other merchants and opened a small pub.

This person was very cautious. There was not even a dog hole at the bottom of the wall. Any hole dug by a dog would be blocked up the next day. Before going out, he would check the lock three times before he dared to leave with peace of mind.

"I'm not sure whether Manager Gan is still in the county. If he is, he must have stockpiled a lot of grain." Ji Ming said.

The four of them discussed for a long time before deciding on the general route and plan.

The three of them then got up and went home. As soon as Gouwazi opened the door of the living room, he saw Xie Yu and the two kids squatting at the door and eavesdropping.

Everyone: "..."

Gou Wa Zi said awkwardly, "Hey, then we'll leave first."

After saying that, the three of them immediately slipped away.

"Sister Song, I…" Xie Yu blushed and was so flustered that she didn't know how to explain.

Song Yuehua brought them in, sat in front of the three and said, "I will go out with them tomorrow. As for what we are going to do, you have heard it."

"Sister, do we have to go?" Xiaobao asked.

Dabao also asked, "Do we have to go?"

Song Yuehua said, "Master has taught you that if the lips are cold, the teeth will perish, right? Only when the village is safe can we be safe. Besides, you don't want Grandpa Zhou, Grandpa Ma, Grandpa Zhu, and so many friends to have no food to eat, right?"

Xiaobao lowered his eyes and said nothing. Dabao shook his head desperately and said, "I don't want to."

"Just wait for me at home and listen to Master Xie's words, okay?" Song Yuehua said.

After talking with her family, Song Yuehua went to the compound and Zhou's house respectively. After saying hello to Duan Yidao and Zhou Dafu, she returned home to check and wipe the arrows in the quiver again.

Xiaobao also sat over, holding a small rag, and helped wipe it.

"Don't hurt your hands." Song Yuehua reminded.

Xiao Bao said without even looking up, "I'll be careful."

The two sisters wiped the long arrow clean and put it back into the quiver, then Song Yuehua carried Xiaobao back to the house.

"Big sister, I'm grown up now. I don't need to be held anymore."

"When you grow up a little bit, I won't hold you anymore."

"All right."

The next morning, when the five people just arrived at the entrance of the village, Song Yuehua hesitated and said, "Gou Wa Zi, you just got married, how about..."

"It's okay, it's only a few days," Gou Wa Zi said with a laugh, "It's not good for a man to spend all day with his wife."

Everyone: "..."

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything." Song Yuehua waved her hand and turned away.

This time, they had to walk the entire way to the county town. Song Yuehua pulled the cart for most of the journey, and the more she walked, the more uncomfortable she felt.

She stopped, loosened the handle of the cart, turned around and looked at the five people sitting on the cart and asked, "How dare you do this?"

Erguotou said with a smile, "You pull first, and we'll each pull for a distance."

"Okay then," Song Yuehua also sat on the boardwalk, "Erguotou, it's your turn."

Erguotou had no choice but to stand up, walk to the front, and start pulling the cart. The moment he started pulling, he regretted it. After only walking for an incense stick, he was panting and said, "Dog boy, it's your turn."

"Second brother, you are too weak." Gouwazi didn't believe it and almost sprained his waist after taking a step.

When it was Jin Shaoyang's turn, he was not as useless as the previous two. Song Yuehua calculated the time and asked Ji Ming to go up and take his place.

Ji Ming finished the last stretch without saying a word.

Zhang Rushan, who had not pulled the cart the entire time, smiled and bowed, saying, "Good strength, brave men."

"You are just a weak scholar, so I won't make things difficult for you." Gouwazi said proudly.

Song Yuehua couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gouwazi felt that Song Daya was making fun of him.

When they arrived at the gate of the county town, the gate was tightly closed. Song Yuehua greeted the guard and threw five taels of silver into the gate. The guard then quietly opened the door a crack and said, "Miss, why are you here?"

The guard recognized Song Yuehua, but before she could make friends, the guard said in embarrassment, "Miss, no one is allowed in now, you should go back quickly."

"I have a house in the county. Here is my house deed. Take a look." Song Yuehua stuffed him with another five taels of silver and said, "We are not refugees. We have a place to live and food to eat. We won't cause any trouble. What are you afraid of?"

The guard saw that the people behind Song Yuehua were dressed neatly and did not look like refugees. He held the silver in his hand and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you must leave quickly after you come in."

After the five people entered the city, they first came to You Mansion. The lock of the gate was broken. After going inside, they found that there was no big problem. Except that it was a little messy, the iron pot was dug out, and all the pots and bowls were stolen, there was no other loss.
