Caesar took a plate of vegetables and put them on the small wooden table in the courtyard.

Li Xiurong limped and sat down at the wooden table. When Jue Ming turned around, his whole body stopped abruptly, standing still and giggling.

What happened to Li Xiurong?Cassia glanced at him suspiciously, then turned and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Not seeing Cassia Ming, Li Xiurong hurriedly moved to a chair and sat down.

The breeze blew across the courtyard, carrying the aroma of food.

After breakfast, Caesar will go down the mountain to have a look.

Cen Daonian nodded, "It's very chaotic outside, don't go too far."

After leaving the courtyard, Jue Ming realized what "chaotic" Cen Daonian was talking about.

Today, a protruding part at the foot of Panshan collapsed, rolling rocks and mud toppled half of Li Xiurong's small courtyard, and the house was buried in mud and rocks, along with the vegetable field in the backyard.

It is a breed that has been crossed for several generations.

Cassia squatted beside the opened vegetable field, supporting the weak vegetable seedlings.The vegetable seedlings were first soaked in water for a few days, and then crushed by the soil. The roots and stems were all broken, and it was obvious that they could not grow again.

This vegetable field can only be given up.

Cassia went down the mountain for a walk. Because of the high terrain and smooth drainage, only a small part of the seedlings were lost in the field of Uncle Shi's house. Most of the seedlings in the mountain were like this. It was only because the rushing flood disappeared suddenly, as if it was discouraged in Damo Township. The damage suffered by Damo Township was far smaller than that suffered by the nearby upstream villages.

Li was leaning on crutches, at the gate of the ancestral hall, looking at the Panshan Mountain in the distance.

If it is said that the previous gods might have been done by manpower, then this time Damo Township escaped the flood, it is beyond the reach of simple "manpower".

The God of the Mountain has really appeared.

Jueming also saw that the roofs of many houses at the foot of the mountain were torn off by the wind and rain, and trees as thick as an adult's thigh fell and crushed the courtyard walls.

Now that there is no time to repair the houses, the senior elders and the head of the household organized the villagers to help themselves. First, they arranged for the uninhabitable houses to find a place to live, and then organized the young and strong to dredge the paddy fields in Damo Township.

Everyone else, check the seedlings in the field by yourself.

It has been rainy for months and flooded, and many seedlings have been destroyed.

The villagers miraculously discovered that the bean sprouts grown from the divine seed bestowed by the mountain god only lost some leaves in the flood, but the roots were intact.

Jueming wanted to go to the town to take a look, but the dirt road along the river was soaked and battered, and when he stepped on it, the yellow mud rolled over, not to mention that his shoes got stuck directly, and it was easy to slip.

So Caesar wisely chose to go home and toss the little Miao Miao who was crushed by the mud at the back of the yard.

After waking up from Cassia, it never rained again, and it was sunny for several days in a row.

The temperature gradually rose. When Damo Township was about to be cleaned up, the Yamen organized the townships to crush the dirt road beside the road, mix it with some things, water it and compact it, and after a few days in the sun, the dirt road returned to its usual smoothness.

The rice and vegetables at home have been eaten, so Caesar volunteered to go to the town to buy vegetables.

Compared with grocery shopping, there is one more important thing that Caesar wants to keep from Cen Daonian.

Now that the flood has just passed, the fields in many places must have suffered, and the price of rice noodles will also rise accordingly.

If the villagers near Yang County can't produce plants in the fields this year, the price of grain will be even higher in autumn and winter.

It can be regarded as a good deed every day, and Jueming intends to find a remote place to rent and secretly send out the seeds.

Just as Jueming took the silver, before he closed the courtyard door and took two steps, Li Xiurong's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Where are you going?"

"Go shopping for vegetables." As Jueming said, he walked quickly down the mountain without stopping.

"Wait! I'm going too!" Li Xiurong threw the sword into the room and quickly chased after him.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Jueming started to run along the ridge of the field with the money in his pocket.

After running for a long time in one breath, Li Xiurong should have been thrown off, Jue Ming slowly stopped his pace, panting for breath while walking slowly.

"Why are you running so slowly?" Li Xiurong's voice rang above his head, Jue Ming was stunned, and looked up at the tree, Li Xiurong jumped down from the tree with a "crash", "Master has been waiting for you here for a long time, hurry up .”

Jue Ming wanted to cry, but when did this Li Xiurong run to the front?He was like a brown candy, he couldn't get rid of it.

After walking two steps, Li Xiurong realized that Jueming hadn't followed, so he couldn't help but stop and wait for him, then turned his head and urged, "Hurry up, I haven't eaten breakfast yet."

"Oh—" Cassia Ming replied, quickening his pace.

With Li Xiurong following, he had no choice but to finish shopping and go home early.

The two walked along the main road and walked slowly to the town. This town was called Shantang Town. Further on, it was the county seat of Yang County, which was closer to the county seat. The town had a complete range of goods. , now that the flood has just passed, there are only a few kinds of green vegetables. Although the price is expensive, it is still reasonable

Vegetable farmers stacked the green vegetables neatly on the clean coarse cloth, and they were green and pleasing. Cassia walked and watched, and selected water spinach, wax gourd, and eggplant.

There was still lettuce here, Jue Ming couldn't help but stop, took another handful of lettuce, checked the scale, and paid off the copper.

There were many vegetable sellers in front of him. Jue Ming held the vegetables, and when he saw someone selling bitter melon, he asked without turning his head, "Do you want to eat bitter melon?"

Yet no one answered.

Jue Ming turned around to look, how could there be any shadow of Li Xiurong on the street?

They came together and left without saying a word.Cassia was so depressed that he bought three bitter gourds at once, and decided to let Li Xiurong taste the taste of bitter gourd.

Ever since he learned how to hunt, the Cen family has always been able to eat wild game from time to time. There is meat in the house. Jueming glanced at the melons, fruits and vegetables on the street, then turned to another street in Shantang Town, and went to a grocery store to buy a bag of sugar. This is Cen Chaoan's favorite.

"Boy, if you don't kneel down and kowtow to apologize to me today, and then lose money, you will never get out of this door!"

Someone was making trouble in the grocery store, and Jueming had already carried his foot in. Afraid of getting into trouble, he backed out again, intending to change stores.

"Dare to speak wild words in front of my young master, am I getting impatient?"

There was another voice from inside the door, Cassia Ming's head was covered with black lines, he raised his retracted foot again, and stepped into the grocery store with one step.

In front of the counter, there was a man in a soap-colored gown, who else could it be if it wasn't Li Xiurong?Ever since he descended from Panshan Mountain, Li Xiurong changed out of his red clothes and put on low-key black clothes.

Even so, it can't hide his flying and proud temperament. He was born different from the hooligans in ordinary towns.

It's a pity that the man's eyesight is dull, and he didn't see anything special about the boy who was a circle shorter than him in front of him.

Jueming stepped forward with a bunch of vegetables in his arms, "What's going on?"

Seeing Jueming coming, Li Xiurong was overjoyed, "How do you know I'm here? The young master was shopping here, and this guy bumped into him. He insisted that I bumped into him, and he wanted to pay a thousand copper coins."

"Pengci?" Jueming put the dishes on the counter, luckily it wasn't Li Xiurong who caused the trouble first.

At first, Jueming didn't know why the gangsters didn't bump into anyone, but bumped into Li Xiurong. He glanced at Li Xiurong's hand, and Jueming discovered the reason.

Whoever buys something directly brings a large piece of silver!I'm afraid that the daily turnover of the grocery store will not be able to keep up with the piece of money in his hand!

The hooligan leaned half-length on the counter, surrounded by a few young men around them, forming an airtight semicircle.

The errand of the grocery store wanted to cry but had no tears. This local ruffian was the tyrant of Shantang Town. He was here to collect "street security fees" today, but he didn't expect to meet a rich and stupid boy, and then there was a conflict.

Knowing the cause and effect, Jue Ming didn't panic, took out copper coins, and said to the person huddled in the counter: "Shopkeeper, I want to buy a bag of candy."

Li Xiurong, as if he had been reminded, took out a lump of money, "That's right, I haven't paid for the things I bought."

Cassia gave him a sideways look, "I'll pay for it as well."

Now they are still showing off with money, if the people in the grocery store take it, those gangsters will definitely not let this store go.

The little World War II shrunk under the counter tremblingly reached out to touch the copper coins on the counter. After a while, there was an extra bag of sugar and a bamboo basket on the counter.

"Is this what you bought?" Jueming carried the basket to Li Xiurong, and Li Xiurong waved his hand, "I see that many people on the street carry this on their backs, so they don't need to carry a bunch of things in their hands, so..."

"I'm going to buy one for you too."

Cassia was taken aback, it turned out that he didn't walk away on purpose.

"Hey!"

The ruffian was left out in the cold for a long time, and his face was full of resentment, "Did you say enough is enough! That kid, lose money quickly!"

Jueming turned his head and said with a smile: "How about we go outside the street and talk? I'm afraid it will affect the business of the grocery store here." If you do anything, the store may be smashed if you are not careful.

The ruffian saw that the boy's companion seemed to be a winking person, fighting here, affecting the positive image, so the ruffian nodded in agreement, "Okay, then go out and talk!"

So, two rows of minions stood in a row at the door, and Jue Ming put the freshly bought vegetables, sugar, and rice noodles into the back basket, and walked out of the store with Li Xiurong in the lane between the minions.

I don't know, I thought it was the head of the gangster who went out to patrol the streets.

The sun was shining outside, and the wind was blowing, bringing a touch of dry heat.

Caesar asked in a low voice, "Will you fight?"

"Hey, young master, I will fight all over Bianjing." Li Xiurong boasted.

Cassia: "Give me the silver first."

Li Xiurong took out his money bag and handed it to Cassia Ming.

Caesar Ming counted the ruffians, there were five people on the other side, they were just mobs, with Li Xiurong around, there should be no problem.

A group of people left the town and went to the side road.

The local ruffian folded his arms and held a piece of barnyard grass in his mouth, and the young man on the side shouted: "Get out the money!"

Cassia Ming went under the tree, groped to put down the back basket, and stretched his muscles with his fists.

"Bah!" The hooligan spat out barnyard grass, "Are you looking for trouble!?"

Li Xiurong put the silver in his pocket and put it away, "I have never been afraid of fighting, let alone a little ruffian like you!"

Hearing the wild words from the boy in black, the hooligan laughed coldly, "I don't even look at who I am, brothers, come on!"

"Let them taste what it's like to toast without eating fine wine!"

——This ruffian is quite cultured.

Every astronaut must undergo various trainings, and only after all the indicators meet the standards can he be eligible to enter the "traceability" cabin.

Although Cassia Ming's body is weak, he has fighting experience that ordinary people don't have!

Four or five people rushed forward. Li Xiurong was the devil king of the family since he was a child, and he didn't pay attention to this kind of person.

The two stood next to each other, staring closely at the punks opposite.

The little gangster on the opposite side also stared closely at the two people on the opposite side.

——They look very difficult to deal with.

Both sides think so.

"Do it!" the local ruffian urged, and the hesitant little ones rushed up together, their fists fell like raindrops, Jue Ming blocked a few times with his military fist, and sadly found that this group of people didn't follow the routine at all Come on!

After a fight, both of them were painted, and the ruffian squatted beside Li Xiurong who was lying on the ground, "Should I hand over the money directly, or should I hand it over after another meal?"

Jueming took out the purse from his bosom, the ruffian saw it, grabbed it, weighed it, it was not light.

So the hooligan got up and kicked Li Xiurong, "Seeing that this is your first offence, I will spare you this time. Next time you see me, remember to go around! Road! Go!"

"Go! Brothers, go drink!"

A group of hooligans cheered and hugged the ruffian head and walked towards the town.

Li Xiurong lay on the ground like a salted fish without a soul.

Pain all over, distraught and indignant.Since I was a child, I have never been so embarrassed.

"They're leaving, hurry up, let's go quickly." As Jue Ming said, he threw an object and hit it on his chest. When Li Xiurong touched it, it was white silver! ?

Li Xiurong: "Isn't it for them?"

"Go!" Jueming jumped anxiously, "There are stones in the purse."

Li Xiurong got up from the ground in a hurry, put away the money, and the two turned their heads to see that the group of punks seemed to be nailed to the ground. A group of people formed a circle, head to head looking at something.

After a while, one person shouted in grief and indignation: "We have been fooled!"

Hearing the sound, Li Xiurong ran fast with his back basket in one hand and Cassia in the other.

The gangster gritted his teeth, "Chase!"

Clouds hid the sun, leaving shade below.

The two ran along the path, leaving behind the group of punks for a long time, and gradually passed through the woods. Fields and cottages came into view. Seizing the opportunity, Jue Ming asked the passers-by next to him that this village was a water grabber. Wangli Village, across the village is Damo Township.

Li Xiurong looked back and took Jue Ming's hand, "No, we have to hide first, they are about to catch up."

While talking, Li Xiurong took Cassia, who had no time to react, to the broken house on one side, bypassed the gate and the east wall, and hid behind. There was a yard behind the broken house, with overgrown weeds in the middle, and half of the earth wall collapsed. It was probably caused by the flood some time ago.

Li Xiurong stepped on the edge carefully, stretched out his hand, "Come on."

Jueming put his hand on it, and Li Xiurong pulled him up with all his strength, and the two hid in the grass half a person's height, close to the corner of the wall.

Xiao Luo jumped out of the woods, looked around, and there was no one in the village, "Brother, I lost it, what should I do?"

"Hmph, they must be living in this village. Just ask which village it is, and we'll come directly to them next time to settle the score!"

This is the first time that a local ruffian has been tricked by someone in so many years. No matter whether it is the common people or the shopkeeper, whoever is obediently "contributes" the money bag in his hand.

Not only did he not get the money this time, but he was also tricked, can you not be angry?

The little guys scattered and wandered around the village while inquiring. After making sure that they didn't see the two, a group of people cursed shamelessly and turned back along the way they came.
