North and South groceries

Since autumn and winter, many merchants and dignitaries have come to Lishi County, and now there are still some people stranded in the county. Just looking at the appearance of these people, no one can tell how many of them have filled their stomachs with bad water.

Luo Yong is not naive enough to think that all of them are good people, and there will always be some people with ulterior motives mixed in.

Simply this time, it wasn't any powerful boss who made the move this time, but Feng Si's few low-level people. If not, it would be really hard to say what the fate of Aunt Yin would be.

What happened this time reminded Luo Yong, as well as people in Xipo Village and even the entire Lishi County. Since then, everyone has become a little more wary of strangers. Merchants and idlers feel that as soon as they go out for a walk, they will be greeted by several eyes immediately.

Some people who had been to Lishi County a few years ago felt the difference in the atmosphere when they came back this time.

"What's the matter, what happened in Lishi County recently?" After entering the familiar guest house, he couldn't help asking.

"You haven't heard of it yet? A few days ago, some gangsters took a young lady from Xipo Village into captivity. Luo Sanlang and others chased her all the way to Fenzhou, and managed to find her back." Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, In the hall, other guests enthusiastically explained.

"There are such things?" The visitor asked in surprise.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. This man just arrived today. It is true that the little lady in Xipo Village was taken captive, but Na Luo Sanlang has not yet arrived in Fenzhou." Other guests on the side were also chattering to correct.

"I heard that it was their village chief, and the little lady's father, who went with several officials sent by Governor Hao."

"Indeed."

"However, Luo Sanlang had inquired about Feng Si's background in the city before, otherwise this matter would not be so easy."

"Then why didn't Luo Sanlang go to Fenzhou?" Some people thought that with the character of that coffin board, he would definitely commit suicide to pass there.

"Why else? Can't ride a horse." Someone in the store laughed. In this era, not being able to ride a horse is definitely not something to boast about.

It’s just that he can’t ride a horse so what, but Feng Si and the others can ride a horse. , but it only took half a day.

Thinking that Luo Sanlang is only sixteen years old, but he has already taken root in Lishi County so deeply. This time, the matter of Mrs. Yin not only showed everyone the influence of Luo Sanlang in Lishi County, but also Let some people with bad intentions see clearly that this coffin board is not easy to mess with. This time they can chase Aunt Yin all the way to Fenzhou, so what about next time?Who else wants to try it?

"Then Xicheng handles the case very quickly." Someone said.

"Naturally." A young businessman at the table next to him said with a smile: "From Lishi County to Taiyuan Mansion and Chang'an City, you have to pass through Xicheng County. You can see that it took only one year last year. So how many more shops are there in Xicheng County than in previous years?"

"That's right, the rest of us have to stop in Xicheng County every time we pass Luliang Mountain."

"The God of Wealth is in trouble, who dares to neglect."

"Unless that brain is full of paste."

"If this matter is not handled well, some people are afraid that they will have to follow suit."

"The few people around Luo Sanlang may not be enough for them."

"If that's the case, it won't be long before Lishi County has to go back to what it was before."

"Naturally, it will not be of much benefit to Xicheng County."

"..."

Not only in the city, but also in Xipo Village, the villagers have been discussing privately. Ever since Mrs. Yin came back, she has been bedridden. If you take care of it carefully, you can still raise it back.

Only the villagers are dissatisfied with the Yin Dalang couple, and the entire Yin family in the village has to look at people's faces.

On this day, Tian Cun was gathering all the villagers for a meeting, but the place was chosen at Lin's house, because only their house in the village had such a big hall.

Being selected as a place for the whole village to discuss matters is of course a more honorable thing. Lin's mother ordered several daughter-in-laws to boil hot water for the villagers to eat, and took some dried persimmons to distribute to the children who came to join in the fun .

Mother Lin has always been frugal, and her fingers are tightly sewn. The reason why she is willing to take out the dried persimmons this time is because she was criticized harshly by the villagers a while ago. Be generous once.

"... about the matter of the Yin family, Saburo, you can also talk about it." When it came to the matter of Yin Dalang and his wife, Tamura asked Luo Yong to express his opinion. After all, the fuse of this matter was Yin Auntie's knitting skills. , I learned from the Luo family.

As soon as Tian Cunzheng said this, everyone in the hall cast their eyes on Luo Yong. At this time, Luo Yong was sitting on the hot kang. It counts as one, and Luo Yong counts as one.

"It's good that the person is back, other things don't matter too much." Luo Yong said:

"Everyone may not know that the reason why Yin Dalang went to Qin's house to pick up people that day was because of my urging. On that day, I heard from my elder sister that Mrs. Yin was supposed to come back on the fifth and sixth day of the lunar new year. When I didn’t see anyone until the eighth day of the lunar new year, I felt a little worried.”

"How can you know in advance?" Someone in the hall wondered.

"How could I know in advance? It's just a little bit of worry. Since Aunt Yin has a coveted skill, there are naturally people who covet it. You should have some precautions on weekdays. It's not just Aunt Yin, Other girls in the village who can knit sweaters and villagers who can make tofu should also be careful." Luo Yong reminded everyone.

"Oh..." When Luo Yong said this, even the elders in the village felt that their situation was not good.

"The more the situation is like this, the more people in the village must be of one mind, and we must never break our promises for our own self-interest." Tamura said at this time.

As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to those members of the Yin family. After hearing what Mrs. Yin said, those scoundrels hadn't learned the knitting skills, but the Yin Dalang and his wife didn't care about this. He took his crafts seriously, and with a quick glance, he knew that he was going for money, and almost killed all the girls in the village.

From the perspective of the villagers, once this craft is passed on, the value of these girls in their village will immediately drop, and how many people will miss out on a good marriage. Isn't this harmful to life?

The members of the Yin family were all bowing their heads at this moment, looking at a loss. Needless to say, after experiencing this incident, their family's status in the village would definitely drop drastically.

How to deal with the problem in front of me, although Yin Dalang and his wife were deceived by lard, they are not bad people. To put it bluntly, if this matter is changed to other villagers, those people may not all be able to see it Deqing can bear it, but he is just an ordinary farmer, and you can't ask them with the standard of a moral model. Luo Yong also has a mediocre relationship with them, and he never thought of handing over his back to them, so naturally he has nothing to do with them. Very demanding.

Luo Yong cast his eyes on the old people in the village and Tian Cunzheng, only to find that they were all looking at him.

"Cough." Luo Yong rubbed his nose and asked Tian Cunzheng, "This time Mrs. Yin was taken captive by the gangsters. The villagers of our Xipo Village worked together and helped a lot. You see, the Yin family is Shouldn't it be something to say?"

Tian Cunzheng glanced at Luo Yong, seeming to be dissatisfied with his displeasure, and at such a time, he still wanted to save face for the Yin family. It was obviously an apology, but he insisted on saying it as a thank you.Now that Na Luo's words have reached this point, he can't refute them anymore, so he said by the way:

"I don't need to mention the money. Since the villagers have worked hard for the Yin family before, then the Yin family should repay them with their labor. There is a stone mill in the village, so I asked the two of them to grind it for everyone for a month. You can see it." good?"

"..." All the villagers moaned, seeming a little dissatisfied.

"Let's do it this way." At this time, another old man on the kang said: "Although Yin Dalang and his wife are greedy, they have no malicious intentions, and they were still deceived by that traitor, so I punished them for a month. "

"In my opinion, we have to settle the accounts with Mrs. Yin and her uncle's family first."

"Yes, we really think that people in Xipo Village are so foolish!"

"Go tomorrow!"

"It also tells those who want to follow the example to see the consequences."

"Yes! I think about this matter these days, and the more I think about it, the more afraid I become."

"Take it seriously, we must stop this sign."

As soon as Yin Dalang and his wife were cheated by their relatives, the villagers were filled with righteous indignation, mainly because they were also afraid that such a thing would happen to them one day, so they must put on a tough stance at this time Come.

A group of people made an appointment, and went to Mrs. Yin's house early the next morning. A group of men from Xipo Village, carrying hoes and shoulder poles, went there and cleaned up Qin Silang and his wife. All the money that went in was spat out, and some compensation was also made.

They took the money to the newly repaired Xu's Guesthouse at the entrance of Xipo Village, ordered some food and wine, and a group of men ate it up.

Don't care about what's in your heart, just chew your meat and eat your vegetables. There are no obstacles in your life. There are only about [-] families in Xipo Village, and there are many people in the village. Ding withered, if they don't unite with their own people, who else can they count on.

The next day, Yin Dalang and his wife were helping people grind soybean milk at the Caoting. Many villagers brought over their soaked beans, and Luo Yong also brought some beans over.

It's not that Luo Yong is greedy for this little free labor. He took the beans over just to show his attitude, whether it's apology or gratitude, he expressed his willingness to accept it, so he took the beans over for them to grind.

At the beginning, some people in the village were unwilling to take beans to grind for them, but after being persuaded by familiar villagers, their attitudes basically softened.

It is also very hard to grind the mill all the time. Yin Dalang and his wife worked hard for several days, and they felt a little weak.

On this day, the old man of the Yin family came to the Caoting with his hands behind his back, pushed away the eldest son who was pushing the millstone, and went to push the millstone by himself.

"Aye!" Yin Dalang and his wife both shed tears.

"Cry so much, be careful of salting the tofu from the villagers." Old Man Yin scolded.

Another day, Yin Sanlang and his wife also went to help, and the family took turns pushing the mill, pushing the stone mill in Caoting without stopping for a moment.

A few days later, another neighbor who was familiar with his family came to help push...
