"Okay, eat it. Even if we ask us to buy it, would you dare not buy it? Eat it first, aren't you hungry?" After that, he took a sip of mutton soup first. It was a bit hot at this time. The bowl I gave them was not a small bowl, but a sea bowl. It was very large. This bowl must be at least two pounds, and the taste was really good. In order not to be targeted by Ye Tan, the shopkeeper added a lot of mutton into it, ate a few bites of cake and then a bite of bacon. This felt really comfortable.

But the shopkeeper stood beside Ye Tan and said to those people, "If you think it's not enough, please drink mutton soup in our store for free."

His idea was that even if he didn't make money today, he had to serve Ye Tan. Otherwise, what if he had other ideas, what would he do?

"Okay, ignore them. You put this big cake in four packages, and then put the braised meat in thirty kilograms." Ye Tan did not have the habit of bullying the little people, because he was a little person in the past, so he knew the sadness. Maybe in the eyes of the big people, this thing is nothing, but in the life of the little people, maybe this is all the so-called survival.

"Oh, I'll go right away." Although my heart was bleeding, I still asked someone to prepare. At the same time, I put the pancake in it with a good white linen cloth and pulled it out with a cover, so that the taste would not be left.

Then he also gave very enough mutton. Ye Tan wanted 30 kilograms, so he gave at least two muttons, fifty kilograms of meat. It was really hard to bring mutton soup. Otherwise, he would really want to take all the pots to Ye Tan.

After they had finished eating, the big cakes and meat were placed on the horse's back. Then Ye Tan stood up and went off the horse, making the detectives stunned. Isn't it? This is considered to be a waste of food. Although they dare to do this normally, they are just a little bit. They took almost 70% of all the food in this small shop a day. Doing so, aren't you afraid of impeachment by the censor?

However, Ye Tan invited everyone to dinner today, and they didn't have much interaction with them, so they turned over without caring about it.

When Ye Tan and others left here, the shopkeeper's feet became soft and he sat on the ground. Although the ground was very cold, he felt a little disappointed and didn't know what was going on.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?" The young man ran over and asked before he had time to pack up all the dishes and chopsticks.

The shopkeeper sighed, "It's not open today, so it's closed."

Then I slowly stood up, just as I was about to leave here and go back to sleep, but I was shook my eyes by a shiny thing.

I quickly walked over and found that there was one more thing on the table, a piece of silver. Although it looked not big, it was not small. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty had relatively little silver, so it was more expensive. The silver had to be at least five taels, which was about five jin of coins, and he couldn't make so much in a day. Thinking that the person sitting here just now was Ye Tan, he suddenly understood in his heart that the guys at Shiweixuan were right, Ye Hou never ate other people's food in vain, and had never eaten anything before.

He held the silver in his hand and felt unprecedented warmth. Then he said to the guy with moist eyes, "It's normal business today. There is no braised mutton, so I'll sell fresh ones. I'll go kill the sheep now."

The guy looked at the shopkeeper in confusion and found that he was a bit too much. The fresh mutton was sold directly in this season, but it was actually a loss. Because the price was high, fewer people would buy it. If the price was low, he would lose money. However, the store was not his own, so let him do it.

Apart from Chang'an City, the group headed straight to Mo Village.

The roads in the past are different from those in the present. If they were placed in the present, it would only take an hour to get there. However, although there were official roads in the past, in the eyes of those who have been to Songzhou, this is just a fool, which is a bit like the situation that many people encounter when they were young. When it comes to road construction, they will send people to transport several trucks of mud on the road, and then it rains. Originally, although the road was bumpy, it was already very solid, and there would be no trampling on it if you stepped on it. However, once the mud on the paving road was covered, it would be all mud on it, which was very annoying.

Although it has not rained recently, it has snowed. After the sunshine, the ice and snow melted. They did not arrive in Mo Village until noon.

The leader was named Li Xuan. Seeing the surrounding terrain, he said to Ye Tan, "Ye Hou, this place should be Mo Village."

Ye Tan saw a relatively tattered black wood brand at the entrance of the village. It said Mo Village. This guy is actually literate. It’s not simple.

This village can be seen from the entrance of the village. Although it is not big, the location chosen is good. It happens to be in a small valley. You can get here by walking about a mile from the intersection of the valley. Then you can see a large cluster of weeds covering a small hill. You can walk around the hill to see the sign just now.

In the past, people in the past built villages, in addition to considering farming and water sources, they also needed to consider bandits and beasts. Especially the latter, if you are not careful, you may be robbed by bandits. Moreover, bandits in the past would not know how to rob some of them. They would not be merciless if they lived today and had no tomorrow. They naturally would not show mercy. Not to mention wild beasts, they could find a place on some hills to hunt after leaving the city for no more than a hundred miles from Chang'an.

Li Qian and his men rushed into the village quickly, and then came out after a while and said to Ye Tan, "Yehou, the village is empty, but it was not a disaster, it should have been moved away. The room is still clean, but there are no pots, pans, etc., so I should have gone somewhere else."

Li Qian was also a senior constable, but he still found nothing special, especially this place was just an ordinary deserted village. There were many villages like Datang. Although he always said he wanted to register his household registration, there were still countless fugitive households and other illegal households. To be honest, no one knew when these people died.

Ye Tan didn't expect that he had found nothing, and was a little disappointed, and waved, "Send someone to find out if there are any hamlets within fifty miles nearby, I'll go in and take a look first."

Although he didn't understand what he meant, Li Xuan still took people out.

As soon as he walked into this village, Ye Tan felt a scent of corruption. I don’t know what this thing was. Anyway, Ye Tan had never seen it before, but he could just feel that the defeat here may be the so-called popularity of the so-called place where there are people.

There is still no grass on the ground here, but there are some snowflakes. The footprints on it are believed that they are from Li Zhen and the others just now, and then there are rows of wooden houses. Although they look simple, the traces on it can be seen that these people have lived here for many years.

Ye Tan walked from this to the other end and spent a stick of incense. He even found a path behind the village that was not very difficult to walk. However, this path should be the lifeline of the village. The so-called lifeline does not mean that there is gold and silver, but that this thing here can save everyone's life at critical moments. After all, the entrance to this village is very hidden, but because it is too hidden, the entrance to this village becomes a lock. If you are not careful, it may be locked. Then, once you encounter an enemy or irresistible factor, you may be in trouble because you can't rush out.

Sometimes, the cunning rabbit has three holes, but it is also learned from people. This has nothing to do with knowledge, but it has to do with people's experience.

He walked back from the other end of the village again and found along the way that the ground was full of land, and there was no stone slab or other, but it was not possible. Even if they would take away some grinding stone pestles, it would be unlikely, because these things were very heavy. In the past, sometimes, stone pestles were considered curse or worship in a village, but once they could not take them away, they would be buried and might come over and take them away in the future.

Ye Tan checked the entire village inch by inch and did not get any results. He did not find any clues on the pattern on the old purse before, so he could only frown and climb onto the roof.

Because the houses here are not high, I didn't see anything special when I went up, so I could only look around.

The mountain here is not high, which is a bit similar to the Yejia Village at the time. However, the hills in the south seem to have more lush trees, which means that the water source there is relatively sufficient, while the ones in the north are much bare, which means that all the trees there have been cut down.

After looking for a while, Ye Tan suddenly found that the noon sunlight shone directly in the lush forest, and with a faint light, as if something was there, he ran away directly, and then came to such a place, but couldn't help laughing.

There is actually that stone pestle here, but it is not buried in the land, but hanging in the middle of a few trees. However, there are many wooden stakes around these trees, and there are traces of chopping on the wooden stakes, which are definitely not for sharpening the knife.

Ye Tan walked over, reached out to touch the holes, and found that the holes of these wood were very delicate. It can be seen that some people were making swords or swords very fast. Although the Tang Dynasty had just been founded a few years ago, there must be countless such people in the countryside, but it appeared here, which has to be said, a bit strange.

Ye Tan saw a platform in front of him. Although he had been moved, he could still see that there should be a pool before. Not far above these stones, there was a spring water that had been blocked with yellow mud but was impacted by water. If all the stones were restored, it could be seen that this place was actually a place to take a bath after martial arts practice. At this time, he suddenly stopped and seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and said that the stone slabs were moved away, and then he saw the pattern on the purse on the bottom stone slab, but the pattern on the stone slab looked even more ferocious.

Ye Tan let out a long sigh, then turned around and left here. When he returned to the entrance of the village, Li Xuan happened to stand there and looked at him and asked, "Who is Ye, what did you find?"

"What's wrong with what I asked you to do?" Ye Tan did not continue, but asked back. These things are really not suitable for everyone to know.

"There is a mountain twenty miles away from here, called Xiongshan. It is said that there is a bear on the mountain, and there is a small village called Xiongshanzhai. I heard that there are more than 30 bandits and other people on it. They passed through local caravans through hunting and robbing, and nothing else is left."

In this era, in some places, even if only a dozen people would occupy the mountain as king, because if they were not like this, they would not survive. Generally, these people were defeated soldiers, robbers, bullies, gangsters, etc. Some people said that some were good people going up the mountain, but in general, they could not survive because they did not have enough food to support these people.

It is unlikely to gain any benefit by identifying a person by virtue of good or bad.

People don’t need it, so such a bear village is a good place.

"What's the name of the village leader?" Ye Tan continued to ask, walking outside the village at the same time.

"I heard that Ma Sandao is a powerful character. The long sword in his hand usually takes less than three times. As long as it comes out, he can cut off the head. He is very strong and is a powerful character. At the same time, the more than 30 people in their village are almost all good players and are not easy to mess with." Li Qian said everything he knew very seriously, and seemed to not understand what Ye Tan meant.

Looking at the sun outside, although he was not too hungry because he had a good morning, it was lunch in half an hour. Li Xuan didn't understand why Ye Tan still wanted to go out.

After a group of people got on the horse, Ye Tan pointed at Li Qiang and said, "Where is Xiongshan Village, where is it? Take me to see now."

"This." Li Qian was about to say something, but another person was taken first. "Ye Hou, I know."

So the sound of horse hooves from a group of people left here with a bang. The small door at the entrance of the village was not closed properly. Soon, this place would become a paradise for wild beasts.

Following a unique road here, they soon arrived at a foot of a mountain. Looking from here, they found that the mountain was not high, but the forest was dense, and it seemed that someone had repaired it. In addition to some doors made of logs, there was also a huge rock at the foot of the mountain with three words that looked like a dog climbing: Bear Mountain Village.

However, because it was cold, there was basically no one at the foot of the mountain, and the wooden door was locked with iron chains. It seemed that I didn't plan to come out recently.

As soon as Ye Tan and others stopped, Ye Tan heard some small sounds on the mountain. It seemed that they were just loose on the outside and tight on the inside. In fact, it was easy to understand. Otherwise, they would have been taken over by someone long ago.

"It's here." The detective who had just stepped forward pointed to this and looked dirty. I don't know where the majestic and imposing words written in the books of many people came from. Anyway, Ye Tan didn't see that. In winter, there are not even green leaves, and there are piles of dead trees, which doesn't keep warm. It's a big deal.
