The horse-faced man looked around and found that there were very few people to greet him, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Hey, Fang Yun, aren't you tired of eating chicken every day? I heard you complaining yesterday!"
The man named Fang Yun, when he heard the horse-faced man calling his name, he cursed secretly in his heart and hurriedly retorted: "You idiot, don't put the P, my favorite is chicken!"
After saying that, he immediately picked up a piece of fat chicken with chicken skin on it, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
Others saw it and picked up their chopsticks one after another, rushing to grab the chicken in the basin.
As for the basin next to it containing fried pork with celery, no one cares about it anymore.
Cheng Hanzi was stunned and felt a little baffled. Is this chicken really so delicious?
Suddenly he felt something was wrong. He turned around and found Liu Mang standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.
"Mang, hello, Brother Mang!" Cheng Hanzi stammered and shouted.
"What, isn't the chicken delicious?"
Cheng Hanzi swallowed.
For some reason, he felt that if he said it was not delicious, something extremely terrible would happen.
"Okay, it's delicious."
"If it tastes good, just eat more."
After hearing this, Cheng Hanzi hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and put them into the basin.
But everyone just ate too hard, and now there is only a chicken butt left in the basin.
Cheng Cheng cried silently in his heart, put the chicken butt into his mouth, bit and chewed hard, and swallowed every bit.
"Young man has a bright future!" Liu Mang patted Cheng Hanzi on the shoulder and praised him.
Cheng Hanzi:......
"In this current situation, it would be great to have meat to eat." Liu Mang said with emotion.
After dinner, Liu Mang walked home.
He was considering whether to cooperate with Zhao Mazi, the pig butcher in the village.
After all, there are hundreds of people in Tangkou, and there is a huge demand for pork.
"Forget it, you can't enjoy all the benefits, and you can't do anything bad. I've probably offended some people by taking over the chicken supply."
"And unlike Qi Dazui's family, Zhao Mazi's family doesn't have a good relationship with my family. After all, my dead cheap dad had many conflicts with Zhao Mazi during his lifetime."
"And the gang can't eat a single pig for two days. Pigs can't have more energy than people, so they can't make much money."
When Liu Mang came to the village, he met Wang Sunshi on the road.
But when I saw her oval face, red lips and white teeth, her skin was as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg. Especially her big eyes, which were dark and moist, as if they could talk.
She also has a curvy figure that even linen clothes can't hide, which is quite eye-catching.
The other party was carrying a sack and his arms and legs were wrapped in sackcloth. He was obviously rushing to the black bear forest.
"Why are you going alone?" Liu Mang frowned.
If we follow the large army of women in the village, our safety will be much better.
Being alone, let alone wild beasts, would be very dangerous if you encounter a big man with evil intentions.
"I, I want to dig more wild vegetables and bring them back to dry." Wang Sun bit her lips. For some reason, she felt a little happy when she heard the reproach hidden in Liu Mang's tone.
"What's wrong with me?" Wang Sun's face suddenly burned like fire, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Liu Mang.
Liu Mang didn't notice it, and frowned: "My mother should have sent food to your family in the past two days."
"I, I confiscated it..." Mrs. Wang Sun lowered her head and murmured, "I can't just take your stuff. Others will gossip about it, and I won't be able to bear it."
This stupid bitch! Liu Mang was speechless.
The two were silent for a moment, and Liu Mang didn't know what to say, so he subconsciously asked: "Wang Laizi hasn't hit you recently, has he?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Mang thought he was going to suffer.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wang Sun suddenly raised her head, her face turned a little pale, and she stared at Liu Mang angrily, and then walked past him without any hesitation, never looking at him again.
Liu Mang wished he could slap himself in the face twice. He really didn't like to pick up any of the pots.
"I have such a mouth, no wonder I couldn't find a girlfriend in college."
Liu Mang shook his head, his mood became worse, and he hurried home.
"Mom, did Wang Laizi's family confiscate the rice I asked you to deliver two days ago?"
"Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you. Mrs. Wang Sun said that there was still some food at home for the time being, so I took it back." Mother Liu said nonchalantly while washing the vegetables.
"Hey, I'm just being polite, why do you take it seriously?"
"How about I send it over tomorrow? You are so attentive, and it makes it seem like my family owes her family." Liu's mother complained.
"Forget it, no need." Liu Mang walked around the house irritably.
"I'm going to Qi Dazui's house."
"Don't bring any more chickens, we won't be able to eat them at home."
"I know."
Liu Mang walked out of the door, but did not go to Qi Dazui's house for a moment. He subconsciously came to the stone bridge.
There were more vendors on the stone bridge than before, and the bridge was so densely packed both on and under the bridge that it was difficult to walk.
Liu Mang asked about the prices of eggs and vegetables and found that they had dropped a lot from their peak.
This is because in recent times, the other six cities in the southeast have come to the aid of Liangcheng and won several waves of battles, which greatly dampened the arrogance of the black horse bandits.
Moreover, the imperial court shipped a lot of grain from the Central Plains, which suppressed the rising grain prices. Nowadays, new rice is more than 30 yuan per pound. Although it is still much more expensive than before Liangcheng was conquered, it has been accepted by many people.
Liu Mang crossed the stone bridge and arrived at Shenjia Village in the long future.
When he came to the door of Yin's house, his expression changed. The iron lock he had hung on the door had been broken, and the door was half open.
Liu Mang strode into the courtyard, and the sight in front of him made him furious.
"Trampling on the horse! Who did it!"
In the flower garden against the wall in the courtyard, all the flowers and plants were thrown carelessly on the ground, and the soil on the ground had obviously been turned over several times.
The thatched shed was knocked down, the stove was smashed, and even a big hole was dug under the two peach trees in the yard, exposing the roots of the peach trees.
The house was in even worse condition. The wooden door was broken, tables and chairs fell to the ground, the bed was smashed, the blankets on the floor were gathered up and thrown aside, and every floor tile was dug up, exposing the soil underneath.
"grass!"
Liu Mang looked very ugly. Mr. Yin and Mr. Zhong were so kind to him that he passed on his martial arts, but he didn't even take care of their home.
Although they may never come back to live again, this is ultimately their own negligence!
"Obviously I'm looking for martial arts secrets."
"You're so brave, it's most likely a gang crime."
Liu Mang walked out of the door, went to Old Man Huang's house next to him, and knocked on the closed door: "Uncle, are you at home?"
Liu Mang shouted several times, but there was no response.
He felt something was wrong in his heart, so he pushed open the door of Old Man Huang's house with a little force.
An extremely unpleasant odor hit my face.
Liu Mang looked up and saw an old man with gray hair lying on the ground at the window on the west side. The clothes and the ground were covered with dark red dried blood.
For a moment, Liu Mang was in a daze.
He thought that when Old Man Huang asked him to stay at home, he could have a chance to get close to Old Yin.
He thought of Old Man Huang's simple smile and the tea he often brought to him.
Liu Mang's eyes were red, his mind was a little confused, and his heart was filled with murderous intent.
