Chapter 7 Buying Grain and Being Defrauded (Part 2)

Lin Yiming continued to practice after returning to the village.
On the sixth day, the people who went to the town to buy food finally came back.
Carriages filled with food drove from outside the village, on the rugged path, into the village. Villagers with excitement gathered at the entrance of the village.
"Food is finally there, it's great!"
"Yes, with food, even if we have no income in recent years, we can still survive for a while."
"This is thanks to Yiming. If it weren't for Yiming, how could we have the money to buy food?"
Amid the villagers' discussions, Zhang Sanbo, who took the lead in buying grain, directed everyone who went to buy grain to stop the carriage.
"Friends, we are back. Now every household is sent out and we will share the food." Uncle Zhang San shouted at the top of his throat, and opened the wooden barrels containing food amid the cheers of everyone.
Suddenly, round and full wheat grains came into everyone's eyes.
Soon, under the command of Zhang Sanbo, several famous old men in the village, and Lin Yiming's sister Lin Ning, everyone began to share the food.
Grains of grains were quickly separated by households, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
Sudden……
"What's this!"
Suddenly, just as the food in the wooden barrel was just 10% away, a man who was assigned to the food pointed to the bag containing the food and shouted loudly.
Hearing his shouts, everyone headed towards the wooden barrel. When they saw it, everyone was shocked.
In the wooden barrel, what appears is no longer wheat grains, but wheat bran, which is the skin ears of wheat!
"How could there be wheat bran?"
Uncle Zhang exclaimed and reached out to grab it in the wooden barrel. Suddenly, he took out more wheat bran. The wheat grains could be eaten, but the wheat bran could not be eaten.
When they found wheat bran, everyone didn't believe it and continued to search in the wooden barrel. Soon the entire wooden barrel was turned over, and it turned out that it was almost filled with wheat bran and many stones.
"Where are other wooden barrels? Look at other wooden barrels."
Someone exclaimed, and everyone opened several other wooden barrels one after another.
Like the first wooden barrel, the top of these wooden barrels are wheat grains, but the bottom is wheat bran. In order not to notice the weight difference, there are also a lot of stones inside.
"I've been fooled!"
Looking at the wheat bran all over the ground, Chen Bo, who was well-known in the village, suddenly fainted.
"It's really a sin!" Uncle Zhang San sat on the ground. He was responsible for buying food, but now he has been deceived. How can he be worthy of everyone?
"I...I..." Uncle Zhang opened his mouth, opened his mouth and spit out blood, and fainted.
Almost all the remaining villagers who went to buy food fell softly to the ground, crying, and constantly pounding the ground with their hands, breaking their hands. They still didn't notice it, and they were still slapping and shouting in their mouths.
Lin Yiming never expected that the scene in front of him would happen.
There are only two kinds of situations in front of you. One is that Zhang San and the others joined together to deceive him, and the other is that Zhang San and the others were really fooled.
Lin Yiming believed that Uncle Zhang and the others would not lie to him. To put it this way, Uncle Zhang and the others would be fooled.
With a sigh in his heart, Lin Yiming stepped forward and found a villager who went to buy food. He asked softly: "Where did you buy food?"
"The town, Mercy Rural Commercial Bank."
As soon as we heard the name of the business bank, the villagers in the village shouted loudly: "Miscenary Rural Commercial Bank, since they have deceived us, then we will go to them. We can't just let others cheat. There are still several boxes of grain, and we have not opened the seal. These are all evidence. When we go there to show them, I don't believe they can still deny it!"
"Yes, go find them!"
Lin Yiming stood in the crowd, listening to the excited crowd, suddenly said, "We must go find them. This time I will go with you. It just so happened that the children in the village took medicine and bathed, and they had stabilized. There was just the time."
Lin Yiming said this, but he sighed in his heart. The villagers in the village are so kind that they ask them to find them, and maybe they will be deceived by others again. After all, I am still a human being for two lifetimes, so I will follow them to see them once this time.
Everyone did not object to Lin Yiming's words. The money for selling food was made by Lin Yiming. Now, Lin Yiming wants to follow him once, how could they refuse?
After everyone agreed, they set off early the next morning.
Because the village is filled with water, all the young and strong people in the village stayed. The fields have been abandoned for a long time, and now they have finally completed water, so they cannot leave.
The young and strong people stayed behind, and the only one who set out was the old farmers. What was even more embarrassing was that they had no money to walk on the official road, so they could only walk on ordinary paths.
Although the money for buying grain last time was paid by Lin Yiming, it was impossible for the villagers to pay a penny. Everyone raised the money, but the big one was Lin Yiming.
Everyone drove a carriage, but they did not encounter any robbers along the way.
As the sky gradually became dark, everyone had to stop, find a place, and start building a tent.
It took three or four days to walk from Nanlin Village to the town. During this period, you must sleep outside overnight.
After the old farmers skillfully set up tents, they immediately began to look for dry firewood and started to live. The most feared bandits who came out when they were sleeping in the wild are wild beasts, so they must prepare enough dry firewood as soon as possible. Most wild beasts are afraid of flames.
The sky was not completely dark, but the flames had already ignited. As the flames leaped, waves of chaotic footsteps came from afar.
In just a moment, on the desolate and rugged road, figures emerged from everyone's sight.
"Bandit!"
Lin Yiming followed the fire and the rising moonlight. After seeing the group of people in front of him, his heart suddenly became tight. There were thirty people in front of him, each of whom was strong and healthy. Several of them were holding Park Knife in their hands, and one was riding a red war horse.
This is a war horse, not a bad horse that delivers goods. Although the war horse looks not pure in color and should be not young, it is already very surprising to have a war horse.
As soon as more than thirty bandits appeared, they immediately surrounded Lin Yiming and others.
Lin Yiming took a step forward without a trace and walked to the front of everyone in the village. His hands were already tightly clenched under his sleeves. Although the number of old farmers coming to the village was not as large as that of the other party, they really wanted to fight. How could the old farmers be the opponents of the bandits? No matter how high or low the strength of these bandits were, each of them was a warrior, especially the one riding on the horse.
Lin Yiming's eyes fell on the red war horse. Only this bandit was riding the war horse. So if nothing unexpected happened, he was already the leader of the bandit.
What was most surprising was that the leader did not reveal his face at all. On his face, there was a blood-red ghost mask that looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.
Why does an ordinary bandit cover his face?
Lin Yiming was surprised, could this bandit have another identity and is very famous, so he wears a mask? If this is the case, then it will be a big trouble.
Compared to ordinary bandits, it is obvious that the bandit in front of them is more considerate.
When the old farmers saw the bandits appear, they were afraid, but they still pretended to be brave and stood behind Lin Yiming.
As the bandits surrounded everyone, one of the bandits was very short and thin, as if a bamboo pole could be blown away by a gust of wind. The extremely vulgar bandits emerged more and more heavily, walked to the opposite side of Lin Yiming, pointed at everyone and shouted: "Leave something, you can get out!"
When Lin Yiming heard the other party's words, he felt a little relieved. Fortunately, these bandits just robbed money and did not kill people, so it would be easier to do.
Taking a step forward, Lin Yiming looked at the bandit in front of him, who knew he was full of bad water at first glance, "The things on our carriage are just some wheat bran, and it is useless for you to take them away."
Chapter completed!
