Chapter 119 I Support You Spiritually (Please collect recommendation tickets)

Liu Lang took a mouthful of porridge, picked up a piece of pickled radish, and chewed on the ground: "Is it wrong? Why is it wrong?"

Xiao Qimei sat down at the dining table: "Yesterday, I checked the latest warehouse-out ledger and found that the current grain storage in the granary is much less than the balance number on the ledger."

Liu Lang put down the bowl and said, "That is to say, some of the food was stolen by others?"

Xiao Qimei looked around and saw no one, so she nodded solemnly: "I hope not, but apart from this explanation, I can't find any other reasonable reason."

Liu Lang touched his chin: "Then have you told the old man?"

Xiao Qimei shook her head: "This is just my guess. There is no evidence now, so I dare not speak nonsense. After all, my Uncle Yao was in charge of the granary before, and I have just come back. If Uncle Yao knows, he thinks I will give it to him. Wear small shoes."

"Besides, my Uncle Yao is just a name in the granary, and someone else is in charge."

Liu Lang asked casually, "Who is it?"

"Lin Chunping is Zhao Feng's good friend."

"is her?"

Liu Lang was a little surprised: "Then what are you going to do?"

Xiao Qimei lightly shrugged her shoulders: "I can only investigate secretly to see what's going on before making plans."

Liu Lang stripped off the porridge in two or three mouthfuls: "I support you mentally, let's go."

Xiao Qimei rolled her eyes at him: "I thought you were going to help, but in the end, that's it?"

Liu Lang grinned and said, "If you want me to beat someone up for you, you can just squeak. But if you want me to help with the investigation, no, no, old Liu, I can't do this kind of meticulous work."

After waving his hand, calling Wang Yingxue, Liu Lang got off the car and went straight to the garage.

At noon, Luo Hao came and saw that the cab of the truck was equipped with barbed wire, so that even if a living corpse pounced on it, it would not be able to get into the cab for a while.

Liu Lang was shirtless, doing electric welding work, and a few big and small guys installed a ram on the front of the car, apparently planning to arm the truck to the teeth.

"Okay, brother Liu, I didn't expect you to do this job." Luo Hao said sincerely, Liu Lang really gave him too many surprises.Especially yesterday's move to drive away the living corpses really shocked him.

Liu Lang put down his tools and asked Zheng Wu to replace him. He poured himself a glass of water and said, "It's no big deal to mess with it. By the way, let me ask you a question. Is there a vegetable garden on Ningfu Street?"

Luo Hao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, that end is Zhao Feng's territory. I rarely go there, but I haven't heard that they are building a vegetable garden. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just ask casually."

However, Liu Lang remembered that last night, the skinny monkey rode a small three-wheeler, which seemed to come from the granary.

There is no vegetable garden on Ningfu Street, so why is the skinny monkey lying? Could it be that the barrel contains night fragrance?
This matter is very doubtful, after all, the manager of the granary is Zhao Feng's best friend.Maybe the part of the grain that was lost in the granary is now on Ningfu Street!
Suddenly, Liu Lang heard a commotion outside, walked out of the gate and saw dozens of people yelling towards the old house of the Xiao family.

Luo Hao ran out, his face changed a little, he didn't care to say hello to Liu Lang, and chased after him.

Liu Lang squinted his eyes, turned back and continued with his work.These people probably went to trouble the Xiao family, but nothing should happen.Taking a step back, even if they wanted to make trouble, if the Xiao family couldn't keep it under control, they might as well let someone else do the job of managing the ancient city.

This might be a good thing for the Xiao family.Of course, this is just the idea of ​​a petty citizen named Liu. He is not interested in knowing how the Xiao family will deal with it.

He just wanted to refit the truck as soon as possible. Once it was confirmed that Tang Ming was in Hongxing Paper Mill tomorrow, Lao Liu could say goodbye to Gucheng.

Ancient City Granary.

Xiao Qimei was in the office checking the grain output records of these days, when footsteps sounded, Luo Hao ran in: "Miss, go home and have a look, something happened."

Xiao Qimei raised her head sharply, but she remained calm. She put the ledger into the drawer and locked it, before saying, "Let's go, let's take a look."

In front of Xiao's house on the top of Xiaowolong Mountain, dozens of people surrounded the gate of the old house, clamoring to see Xiao Zhengfeng.

When Xiao Qimei arrived, she could barely squeeze in, so Luo Hao called a few guys to open a passage for her to come out.

Only then did Xiao Qimei successfully arrive at the gate, she raised her hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.

After the crowd calmed down, she cleared her throat and said, "Everyone, my grandpa is old. If you have any questions, just tell me."

A middle-aged woman with a thick body and a spunky appearance stood up and said: "Miss Xiao, can you really represent the Xiao family as a delicate young lady? In my opinion, it is better to invite Mrs. Xiao out, otherwise, Mr. Xiao Dong will also become a Ah. As for you..."

She shook her head with a displeased look on her face.

Xiao Qimei smiled lightly: "My surname is Xiao, why can't I represent the Xiao family. If you don't want to talk to me, please come back. The Xiao family doesn't owe you anything, on the contrary, I'm doing my best to help you solve problems. I hope you don't take Xiao The family's kindness, it's better to treat it as a bully!"

The middle-aged woman was suddenly speechless. Xiao Qimei's words were neither arrogant nor humble. She couldn't find an excuse for the attack, so she had to snort and retreat into the crowd.

"Miss Xiao, since this is the case, let me say a few words on behalf of everyone." A middle-aged man wearing glasses squeezed out of the crowd. He had a fair face, small eyes and thin lips, and he coughed dryly, "That's it, we want to Ask. Mr. Xiao told everyone before that due to the limited food, we would have porridge for breakfast and dinner, but we would ensure that we would have a dry meal at noon, so that everyone would have the energy to work."

"But why did the lunch at noon turn into porridge? The porridge is almost like boiled water. Is this different from what the old man promised?"

Xiao Qimei said indifferently: "I told the kitchen to cook porridge instead. I'm not afraid to tell everyone that there is not much leftover food in the granary now. It can't be the same as before. I hope everyone can understand."

The middle-aged woman jumped out and said, "No, I went to help the granary last week. There is still a lot of food in the warehouse, and there are many bags of rice alone. It's only a week, how can I be in an emergency so soon, don't be Was it eaten by a mouse?"

After she finished speaking, she looked hard at the gate of Xiao's house, clearly there was something in her words.

Xiao Qimei laughed: "Sister, you want to say that our Xiao family secretly deducts everyone's food, right?"

The middle-aged woman curled her lips: "I didn't say that."

Xiao Qimei said in a bright voice: "Please think about it carefully, if our Xiao family wanted to withhold food, if we didn't open the city gate at the beginning, and would not save everyone, wouldn't that be all right?"

"Based on the food collected in the city, if it's only used by our Xiao family and the original residents of the city, it can last for a month or two."

"But how did we do it? We let the big guys come into the inner city to take refuge, formed a joint defense team to maintain order, and tried our best to let everyone survive. But now, you are suspicious of our Xiao family, don't you think this is very contradictory? ?”

Xiao Qimei paused, glanced across the audience, and then continued: "If you are not at ease, then this is fine, I will open the granary now. Then we will distribute the food equally, and everyone will take care of their own affairs, but after the food is finished In the end, the Xiao family will not care about your food and clothing issues."

"What do you think of this method?"
