The Concubine of Crossing

Xiaodouzi counted the amount of grain that people in the village wanted to sell, and found that there was quite a lot. Luo Laibao was satisfied with this.

After counting the quantity, and calculating the required vehicles and the number of round trips, Luo Laibao kept walking around the grain with a very serious look on his face.

Li Xiao watched with interest from the side, only thinking that his man was very good-looking.Occasionally, Luo Laibao would turn his head and show him a smiling face, and his heart immediately felt as if he had eaten a ripe little peach, which was sweet.

However, his thoughts were racing, and Li Xiao began to think about the news that Luo Laibao revealed to him today.

The first problem is the severe drought a year later, which is a natural disaster.However, such natural disasters are only regional. Although there is no artificial rainfall in this world, food and water can be prepared in advance and transported there.

This is more labor-intensive, but it can also give the migrating people more survival possibilities and allow more people to survive.

The second is man-made disasters, and the biggest reason for this incident is that the second prince colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. Such an emperor is obviously the biggest reason for this situation. If there can be a wise king who cares about the people, then this world will not have the kindness that Noble has. Talk about those miserable futures.

So...how about he try to assassinate the second prince?

If the source of this tragedy is eliminated, such a tragic future will not appear.

This thought flashed through my mind, and it was out of control.However, the second prince is gone, who knows if there will be a third prince or a fourth prince?

Let the second prince make the whole country into that, these princes are obviously not capable enough.

Li Xiao suddenly felt a headache, and felt that this question was a bit difficult to solve.He is better at fighting, and it is really difficult for him to use his brain.

When Luo Laibao came over after finishing his work, he saw his daughter-in-law was in a daze, she stretched out her hand and waved in front of his eyes, seeing Li Xiao regained consciousness, he immediately showed a smiling face, "What are you thinking, so preoccupied?"

Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "Laibao, let's go to Kyoto."

Kyoto, the center of the power vortex, was a place he didn't want to go to, but now he offered to go there.

Since the future is so tough, they always do something about it.Even if they are not for the so-called people in the world, they have to fight for themselves and for the relatives they care about.

Luo Laibao looked at Li Xiao firmly, then nodded, "Okay, let's go to Kyoto to open a shop!"

I don't know if they are thinking about the next preparations, but everyone was silent on the way back. Hemerocallis, who was a little excited after learning a lot from Xiangniang, also fell silent instantly.

Niu Dazhuang was afraid that they would not know the way, so he sent them back again. When he got back to the place where Mr. Cao was, he watched them get on the bullock cart, and made an appointment to pick up the goods here tomorrow. Many times faster, it quickly disappeared into the woods.

After Niu Dazhuang left, a few people remembered that they had two ox carts, but there was only one driver.Luo Laibao gritted his teeth, "I'll do it!"

Li Xiao smiled and patted him, "Let me come, I am strong."

Luo Laibao: "..." He thinks this is a technical job, and has nothing to do with strength.However, he obediently sat in the back and muttered at the same time, "I know you are strong..."

Sanzi and Xiaodouzi looked at each other, but they didn't hear anything.

When Li Xiao shook his hand holding the whip, he almost fell to the ground.

After all, Li Xiao is a novice. It is easy to see others catching up, but it is very troublesome to do it by himself.If you don't smoke, the cow refuses to go away, but if you smoke it, you are afraid that your hands will be too strong and the cow will hurt.

When they rushed back, the city gate was about to be closed. If the guards hadn't seen them slow down the speed of closing the gate, they might have to sleep outside the city tonight.

For this reason, Xiaodouzi gave the soldier some money with a wink.Sure enough, the face of the soldier who took the silver changed a lot, and he reminded him very thoughtfully, "It's getting late, be careful."

When they arrived at the inn, Zhou and Luo Changfu had been waiting for a long time, and they were relieved to see them come back safely.

Mrs. Zhou was still rambling on, "Why have you been here for so long? Next time, either come back earlier or don't come back. It's not safe to walk at night!"

Li Xiao felt a warmth in his heart, and being tied down by others all the time, this is the feeling of home.

Seeing his daughter-in-law nagging, Luo Changfu hurriedly said, "Okay, come over for dinner! It's so late, the children must be hungry."

As expected, Zhou's attention was diverted, "Yes, yes, eat quickly, we will talk after eating."

Everyone: "..."

Li Xiao was not very hungry, because something went wrong at noon, and he didn't dare to let himself be hungry anymore. He brought a lot of fruit from the village when he left.Originally they planned to buy it, but after knowing that they would buy so much food, the villagers were unwilling to accept their money, and spontaneously took out the fruits they had collected at home and gave them to them.

So Li Xiao walked all the way to eat, and Luo Laibao would feed him while he was driving, for fear that he would look hungry and make Li Xiao feel a little helpless.Luo Laibao is blatantly wanting to make him a fool.

After dinner, the two did not go back to their own room, but entered the room of Luo Changfu and his wife.Luo Laibao said that they were going to Kyoto.

The couple looked at each other, and Zhou hurriedly said, "When? I'll pack up now." She obviously forgot that they are still living in the inn, and they can pack up and leave without packing up.

Luo Laibao quickly stopped her, "Mother, this time it's just me and Li Xiao going."

Zhou's family paused, and Luo Changfu also looked at his son.

Luo Laibao smiled and said, "We're just going to explore the road, it's nothing. Besides, my grandfather and grandmother are already old, mother, don't you show your filial piety in front of them?"

Not only his grandfather and grandmother, but even the Zhou family and Luo Changfu are not too young. Luo Laibao doesn't want them to work hard with him and be frightened.

Apart from Li Xiao, his parents are the most important soft flesh in his heart. This Lanzhou is not among the original ten cities, and the drought has not affected it. Luo Laibao feels that compared with Kyoto and Pucheng, this place is obviously much safer.

He hoped that both his parents would stay here, well, and his grandparents would take care of him, so that he would not have to worry about the future.But he said, "Father, I want to ask you to help look after the shop. This time we buy it at such a price, it will definitely ruin many people's fortunes, and there will definitely be people looking for trouble."

Luo Changfu nodded, it wasn't his first day in this line of work, so he naturally knew the rules.He actually wanted to remind his son, but thinking about this kind of thing, his son should be clear about it, so he didn't say it. Now that his son brought it up, it is obvious that he knows the way here.

Luo Laibao said, "Father, we opened the shop to stockpile food, don't be afraid that the food won't be sold, you can collect whatever you want."

He also thought clearly about the revenge of those shops, at most it was just a few things.Either find someone to make trouble, or unite to suppress his price.

After all, they charge a high price, but those shops charge a low price, so they can sell it at a price lower than their purchase price.At that time, their prices will be too high, and others will not want to come to their shop to buy. If it is an ordinary shop, it is estimated that they will be able to pay back to their hometown.

But they don't have anything now, they just have a lot of money, they can't sell it, but they can buy it more easily than others. They also have their own ships, and if they buy too much, they can be transported to other cities, so there is no need to be afraid of commercial suppression.

As for those who come to make trouble, his family Xiaoxiao is so powerful, no matter how many people come, they can be beaten to the ground.

It's just that now that they are about to leave, Xiao Xiao can't do this kind of thing.So Luo Laibao decided to be ruthless, "If anyone is looking for trouble, they can go directly to uncle and the others. As long as they have said hello, no one would dare to make trouble at our house."

This is the advantage of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, otherwise Gu Guo is so big, why would he agree to come to Lanzhou so far away.

Although Luo Changfu felt that it was not good to bother the Yue family, he still nodded his head to indicate that he understood.

Luo Laibao talked a lot more, and when he finished speaking, it was Zhou and Luo Changfu's turn to start talking. In their hearts, Luo Laibao had always been the treasure they protected under their wings. It's because they have been following them all the time so they are so relieved.

Now they want to let a child who has been protected by them go out alone, how can they rest assured.

The couple kept talking non-stop, babbling over and over again, Luo Laibao and Li Xiao were just sitting there listening, neither showing any look of impatience on their faces.

It wasn't until Luo Changfu couldn't help yawning that they realized that it was getting late, and Mrs. Zhou slapped her head, "Oh, you are not leaving tomorrow, why are we talking so much, you all go Go to bed and sleep."

Several people laughed.

I don't know if he thought about what happened that day during the day, and Luo Laibao had another nightmare at night.In the dream, he found that Li Xiao died beside him, and he held his body blankly, motionless, thinking that it would be good to just starve to death together.

However, such an idea obviously failed to come true. The room where they temporarily lived was pushed away. When the yellow and emaciated refugee saw the corpse in his arms, his eyes lit up immediately.

Luo Laibao watched too much with such eyes, and because of such eyes, Li Xiao never dared to let him go and concentrate on looking for food.

Luo Laibao, however, seemed to wake up suddenly, when those rushing to capture Li Xiao, he desperately resisted, desperately scratched Xiao Xiao who wanted to take him back.

However, his legs have long been disabled, so he couldn't use his strength, so he was photographed aside casually.

He has never hated his broken body for a moment, nor has he hated anyone so much.He desperately crawled over, grabbed all the things he could grab and threw them at the refugees.

Until he was ripped apart, until he was strangled, until he completely lost consciousness...

Luo Laibao woke up from the bed covered in sweat, and was hugged tightly by Li Xiao.

Li Xiao hugged him, rubbed his face against his face, and comforted him non-stop, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here..." My heart is so distressed, just because Noble is in his dream The heart-piercing way of calling his name made my heart throb and hurt.Now he somewhat hates the self in his previous life, how could he be so useless, unable to even protect a person he likes?

Under Li Xiao's comfort, Luo Laibao gradually came to his senses. He stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly, and it took him a long time to say "um" from his mouth.

His Xiaoxiao is still there, still alive.

Thank goodness.

We are all still alive.
