A dog boy dressed in satin and wearing a melon hat squatted under the tree at the head of the village, holding a bowl and sucking on the braised noodles in the bowl.
The minced meat stew for braised noodles was filled with chili pepper, and he was sweating profusely after eating it.
Zhao Wu on the side took a white flour steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, took a bite, and bumped him with his shoulder, "Hey, Senior Brother Li, did you say where the food was sent? Was it sold or something? Did you say it would be sent back?
"
As the accountant of Niuxin Village, he couldn't help but wonder when he saw the numbers on the account disappearing one by one.
"That's not to say, he is now a god, coming and going every day." Gou Wa said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Seeing his family's food being carted away every day without getting any money back was even more uncomfortable than killing him. I have never seen such a wasteful person.
"What if there is a famine and our village has no food?" According to Zhao Wu's calculation, in a few days, the granary under the ancestral hall will be empty enough for rats to escape.
"Hey, I asked Senior Brother Li about this, what do you think he said?" After a moment, Gouwa licked up the last bit of marinade at the bottom of the bowl with his tongue.
"What did you say?" Yang kid came over with a bowl in hand to chat.
"He said how could there be so much famine? Didn't the big man give away so much gold, silver and jewelry, but he still couldn't buy food?"
"No matter what happens, if people in our village go all the way to Beijing carrying a bowl to beg for food, then our Emperor Liang will still be in charge of the food. Can he still ignore it?"
"Did Senior Brother Li say this? Why doesn't it sound like his tone? You didn't make it up yourself, right?" Zhao Wu looked unbelieving.
"Hey, he really said that at the time. I just followed his words and said a little more."
"You have such a bad mouth, you always add fuel to the fire to whatever is said in your mouth."
After hearing Zhao Wu's words, Gou Wa suddenly lost his composure and quickly stabbed him with words.
"Zhao Wu, I heard that you haven't given up on Xiao Man yet? You even asked the salesman to deliver a letter to her. How many words do you know? Just write a letter."
These words immediately made Zhao Wu anxious. He picked up the crutch next to him and threw it at him. "Don't ask about other people's affairs! I know more words! The teacher said that I can even pass the scholar examination!"
Just as they were arguing, the child next to Yang ran all the way along the dirt road to meet Yi Zhan in front. "Senior Sister Bai! You are back!"
When they heard Bai Lingmiao's return, the two of them immediately put aside their arguments and hurriedly greeted him.
"Junior sister, hasn't Xiaoman come back?" Zhao Wu stretched his head and looked at the White Lotus Sect-style battle.
"Move away! I asked someone to find her!" Gou Wa pushed Zhao Wu away and complained to Bai Lingmiao who was patting the child's head.
"Junior Sister Bai, Senior Brother Li is crazy again. Please take care of him quickly. He is about to empty our house!"
Immediately afterwards, he repeated what Li Huowang did with more vividness and jealousy.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, he won't be able to move it."
"Yes, when you find him later, you scare him, and then you tell him that you can't live with him again if he does such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself!"
"Although we are rich now, this is not how we live, otherwise we would be emptied of all our gold and silver."
Bai Lingmiao shook her head gently. As she turned steadily, the honor guard behind them separated, revealing a grain cart with deep wheel marks.
Soon the bags of grain were delivered to the darkroom of the ancestral hall, gradually filling the darkroom that was already empty and beginning to echo.
"Junior sister Bai, where did all this food come from?" Gouwa stared at this scene in shock.
He took a step forward and was about to say that he didn't need to carry it in and put it outside. But when Senior Brother Li asked for it, he had to move it out again and again, which was time-consuming and laborious.
But when he thought about it, he didn't say anything. It was better this way, at least it would save him money. "Junior Sister Bai, where did all this food come from?"
"The donations from White Lotus followers are not limited to poor people who believe in White Lotus. Also, don't tell them that I brought these grains."
"You really don't want to persuade him?" Gou Wa looked surprised. The couple wasted money together. Are they crazy?
"Since he wants to do something, why should I hold him back? Since he is my man, then I should help him accomplish what he wants to do."
Gou Wa stretched out his hand and scratched the side of his face, which was white and yellow. He hesitated for a while and then asked cautiously: "Are you okay?"
Ever since this year passed, the two parents-in-law have been feeling strange.
Bai Lingmiao shook her head, turned around and sat on the gorgeous white sedan, which was carried by the white donkeys towards the village.
"Is this just a walk? It's not easy to come back. Let's have a meal before leaving, kid! Go and kill the pig!"
"Next time, the old mother Wusheng has returned to her throne. There are a lot of things going on in the White Lotus Sect. Someone will replenish the granary regularly in the future. Please take care of her."
"Then if you don't let me tell you, then Senior Brother Li can also feel that something is wrong. He is not blind, and can't he see that this place is just like a grain basin that will never be cleaned?"
"It's okay. I understand him. As long as he has enough food, he won't pay attention to such minutiae due to his personality." Bai Lingmiao's sedan did not stop and gradually left Niuxin Village.
"By the way, Senior Brother Zhao Wu, Sister Xiaoman told me not to send those letters again. She said she didn't know how to read."
The mighty Bai Lian team left, leaving Gou Wa and Yang Kid behind, laughing and gloating at Zhao Wu's misfortune.
————————
Li Huowang bent down and walked into a cellar, and saw Miao Guihua following the monk and learning to sprinkle water on the ground to keep the cellar dark and humid.
The monks and the people of Daqi carefully broke off the mushrooms one by one and put them in brand-new straw baskets.
The complexion on their faces has obviously improved a lot. Although they only eat one dry and one thin meal a day, at least they are real food.
This cellar is larger, and the walls and floor are densely covered with baskets filled with soil. These are black soil outside the city, which is used to grow mushrooms.
After a quick look around, Li Huowang found the target he was looking for and walked deep into the cellar. Zendu, the abbot of Zhengde Temple, was bending down to pick mushrooms seriously.
"Does the dignified abbot of Zhengde Temple also come to grow mushrooms? Don't you need to help others with their children?"
Chandu straightened up and said, "Amitabha, Donor Li, in today's world, adults are starving to death. How can anyone have children?"
"Go up and chat." Li Huowang raised his chin and left the cellar.
In a remote ruins, Li Huowang asked Chandu: "Are your people keeping a close eye on you? Then the Mo family didn't cause any trouble, right?"
Chandu shook his head, "Although the Mo family is an evil cultivator, they have brains after all. They know the importance."
"The Mo family's valuable weapon, with their help, this Youdu is gradually changing back to its original appearance."
