The town is very small, and all the grain sellers in Baiyang Town are together. When everyone hurried over, they saw several shops closed, with only a few people wandering around the door.

"Hey, young man, why is this store closed?"

This time, Yang Dashan led the team. Seeing that all the shops were closed, he stepped forward to ask reluctantly.

"I don't know. I came here early in the morning and waited, but the door was never opened."

The person being questioned also came to buy food with a bamboo basket at his feet and did not understand the situation.

Seeing that he didn't get any result from his questions, Yang Dashan went up and knocked on the door. The shops were not far away, so the people traveling with him saw this and went to knock on the doors one after another.

Under normal circumstances, there would be people guarding these shops. Even if they were closed, the guards would live in the backyard and open the doors when they heard someone doing something.

But it is rare that there is no response after everyone knocks on the door for so long.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Bai Qingyun winked at Bai's father, then quietly left the crowd and went to the backyards of several shops.

"Huohuo, check if there is anyone in these shops. Most importantly, check if there is any stock in the warehouses of those grain stores!"

With Bai Qingyun's current strength, it is still a little difficult for him to climb over the courtyard wall and fly over the eaves and walls. What's more, this is somewhat similar to the situation in his previous life. In order to prevent accidents, Bai Qingyun brought Huo Huo with him.

The bamboo stays at home to watch over the house and prevent any accidents.

Huo Huo received instructions from his master and quickly shrunk his body. He nimbly climbed over the courtyard wall and soon disappeared.

"Master, this grain store has been emptied out. Even the tables and chairs inside are gone. There is only one empty room left."

In order to promptly feedback the situation to Bai Qingyun, Huo Huo conveyed it to Bai Qingyun through his consciousness the next second after he discovered the situation.

"I understand, Huo Huo, you can continue to look at the other ones."

When I saw Huo Huo again, it was already an incense stick later, and the situation he found out was not much different from the first time.

Every store is just an empty shell.

Just like when he left, Bai Qingyun quietly appeared at the end of the team, then walked up to Bai's father and told him what he had learned.

Father Bai looked at the people waiting in the cold wind, and couldn't bear to tell them the truth, so he said, "It's getting late. I see that Hongyun Restaurant in town is still open. Let's go eat something to warm up!"

The prices at Hongyunlou are much cheaper than those at Zhiweixuan, and it is a more suitable place for ordinary people to spend money. It is also very cost-effective for everyone to have a bowl of hot soup noodles.

"Brother Bai, Miss Bai, it's been a while since we last met. Please take a seat."

The person who received us was the shopkeeper Xu. The shop had the new recipe sold by Bai Qingyun, and business had always been good. Although the business this time was not as good as before, there were still some people from the town coming to eat there.

Shopkeeper Xu invited all the people from Dayang Village to their seats, called the waiter to greet them, and led Bai Qingyun and Bai's father into the private room.

"Miss Bai, this is something the young master asked me to give you. The young master told me not to open the envelope in front of others."

Along with the several thousand taels of silver notes handed to Bai Qingyun by Manager Xu, an envelope was also enclosed.

Looking at the thick stack of banknotes, Bai Qingyun knew that Zhu Yu's sales must be going smoothly.

After opening the envelope, Bai Qingyun was shocked by the message inside. There were not many words in it, and the whole thing was: Leave Bingzhou!

Businessmen and officials all have their own information channels and are always able to retreat before danger comes.

Zhu Yu's words let Bai Qingyun know that Bingzhou Prefecture was experiencing a turmoil, but Bai Qingyun didn't know what kind of thing it was that caused so many shops to move away.

"Manager Xu, I see that many shops in the town are closed. I came to the town with the villagers to do some shopping. I wonder if Manager Xu has any information on when these shops will open?"

Bai Qingyun certainly knew that these shops would no longer open, but while many shops were closed, Hongyunlou was still open, which made Bai Qingyun wonder what was going on.

"Miss Bai, you don't know that Hongyun Building will not be open tomorrow. I was asked by the young master to wait for Miss Bai here. If Miss Bai hadn't come here today, I would have gone to Dayang Village tomorrow."

“Why is the store closing down when it is doing well?”

"This... Xu doesn't know the specific reason, but I got the news from the young master that the store will be moved to Jiangzhou Prefecture. The family is also packing up these two days, and they will be leaving soon."

It is not a wise choice to hurry on the road at this time! But Bai Qingyun knew that Shopkeeper Xu had said almost everything he could, so he did not continue to ask.

When there were only two people in the box, Father Bai asked, "Little one, are those shops really emptied?"

Even Bai's father himself didn't know how Bai Qingyun found out.

It's impossible that he pried the lock from the back door to check! But such behavior is no different from thieves in Dazhao.

Bai Qingyun released Huo Huo from the space, as she was bored being alone in the space.

When he saw Huo Huo, Bai's father also knew the source of Bai Qingyun's information, and he did not pursue the authenticity of the news any further.

In fact, the fact that Bai Qingyun was able to tell the news meant that she had confirmed it, but she subconsciously denied this possibility in her heart and was unwilling to believe the fact.

The fantasy was shattered and finally I had to accept the reality.

"Dad, I do have some food here, but how do I get it out?"

There is no doubt that the town's granary had been emptied without anyone knowing.

Bai Qingyun had only two choices: either take everyone back to the village in disgrace and live on the potato stockpile, or take out the excess food stored in the space to help everyone out of their predicament.

"Let's go back to the village first. We still have some food at home. If it doesn't work, we can use it to buy some for the villagers."

It was too risky to take the grain out of Baiyang Town. Everyone in Dayang Village knew that the Bai family had sold most of their potato harvest, giving everyone the impression that they had surplus grain at home.

As for how many there are, that is up to the Bai family to decide.

"Little one, how much food do you have?"

"It should be no problem to feed the entire Qujiang County!"

In fact, Bai Qingyun was still being conservative. With the current production speed of the space, the food in it is enough to feed the people of Dazhao for a whole year.

It’s just that Lin Jinyu had gathered a lot of crystal cores some time ago, and the two of them traded more than one million kilograms of grain.

The crystal cores traded this time include not only level one, but also many level two and level three crystal cores, so the cost of exchange is even higher.

There is not much food nowadays, but it is still enough to feed the entire Dayang Village for three years.
