Lu Yan glanced at him lightly and said with a faint smile: "I have something even more despicable. I'll just pack you up and send you back. I think Lord Shen will be very happy."
Shen Xingye: "..."
After a while, he sighed and leaned back on the chair softly.
"you are vicious!"
"Isn't it just a matter of checking taxes? It's a trivial matter. How can such a trivial matter bother me?" He waved his hand indifferently.
Lu Yan stood up, opened the window, looked at the bustling crowd on the street, his eyes flashed.
"Don't be careless. Think about it, no one has found out for so many years. This matter must not be simple."
Shen Xingye frowned, and the playful smile on his face disappeared instantly. "What do you mean," he pointed at it.
Lu Yan nodded, "But this is just a guess, but I guess they are pretty close. Their methods are not very clever, but why has no one reported it for so many years? Didn't they find it? Obviously not, so,"
There is someone above, or instigated by someone above. This person is so powerful that everyone is afraid of it.
The two looked at each other. They clearly didn't say anything, but they were like mirrors in their hearts.
"I understand." Shen Xingye lowered his head and his voice became much deeper.
"Yes." Lu Yan hummed lightly, "So let's try not to reveal our whereabouts these days, and be more careful when entering and exiting."
……
Su Ziling took Li Zelan to buy meat from Butcher Yang, some spices, and some glutinous rice, thinking that they would grind it into powder and then cook some small glutinous rice balls, which would be added to the ice powder tomorrow.
When the two arrived at the city gate, several people were already waiting beside Old Man Li's oxcart.
Seeing the two of them coming out, Old Man Li brought the cow over and said to them with a smile: "It's pretty fast. I just told them that it would take half an hour, but I didn't expect you to come out."
Su Ziling smiled apologetically at everyone, "I'm sorry for keeping everyone waiting."
After finishing speaking, she fixed the backpack and the two got on the ox cart. Only then did she have time to answer what Old Man Li said, "It's not bad. The situation is better than we thought. Old Man Li, we will come tomorrow morning. I guess we will be able to come." It’s relatively early.”
"It's okay, just call me when you get to the village entrance." Old Man Li readily agreed.
The few people sitting in the car were quite cramped along the way and spoke in low voices. Their ears perked up when they heard Old Man Li mention the ice powder fruit.
"Qing girl, I'll go back with you in a while. I'm thinking of sending the ice powder fruit and mushrooms over there. I heard that these mushrooms will become stale after being stored for a long time. I guess your aunt won't be able to keep her idle. Maybe I went to the mountains to pick it up again.”
Su Ziling wanted to say that they could take it back all at once, but then she thought that she and Li Zelan just couldn't take that much.
Originally, the meat in the backpack was heavy enough, but with the fungi and ice-pink fruits, they might not be able to carry it back.
"Okay, just in time. I told my aunt today that I will pick some plums later."
"What's so delicious about that thing? You can go get a few persimmons and eat them back. It's sweet." When Old Man Li heard her asking for plums, the folds on his face wrinkled together. He was obviously sour. It's not easy.
Su Ziling explained: "I took it back and dried it in the sun to make vinegar. Everyone in my family likes to eat cold dishes, so a lot of vinegar is needed. The plums are sour when eaten now, but after they are dried, they can be used to soak in vinegar." Very fragrant.”
"Really?" Old Man Li was dubious, "Then I'll go back and ask your aunt to try some exposure."
"Well..." Someone interrupted the conversation between the two.
Su Ziling looked back at him, but the man didn't dare to speak again.
Old Man Li didn't look back, but he knew who it was just by hearing the voice.
"Erwazi, what do you want to ask?"
Erwazi swallowed his saliva. He fell into the river when he was a child. He developed a fever the same day after he was fished out. The fever persisted for several days. Fortunately, he survived. Unfortunately, his IQ stayed at the age of seven or eight.
He is afraid of strangers, doesn't dare to speak, and is submissive.
Before he could speak for a long time, Old Man Li sighed, "Just say whatever you have to say, don't be afraid."
for a long time.
Erwazi asked tremblingly: "Uncle Li, the ice powder fruit you are talking about is the fruit on the ice powder tree?"
Old Man Li nodded, "Yes, that's it. Everyone is picking them recently. Isn't your mother going too? I met her yesterday."
Erwazi's eyes lit up a little, "Uncle Li, I know where they are, can I pick them and sell them?"
Although the words were addressed to Old Man Li, his eyes fell on Su Ziling timidly.
"Okay, you pick the yellow ones and that kind of thing, and then you can bring them over with the villagers." Although she didn't know what was going on with him, looking at his clear eyes, Su Ziling went out of her way to explain it to him. one time.
Hearing that it was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, and they kept rising.
The person next to him patted him on the shoulder, "Didn't your mother not let you go up the mountain? You are not allowed to go secretly!"
Erwazi lowered his head and said in a small voice, "I don't go up the mountain, I pick it nearby. I want to help my mother. She has lost weight recently and has a cough." He frowned and said, "My younger siblings are bad guy,"
After he finished speaking, he added, "So is my brother!"
Su Ziling always thought that his words and expression were strange. Until now, she had a vague suspicion in her heart.
Of course, what Old Man Li told her next also confirmed that her guess was correct.
Recently, after the people in the village have finished harvesting the crops in the fields, they have begun to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, peppers, and ice powder fruits.
Erwazi's mother also went, but she refused to take him with her, mainly because she didn't trust him.
So he only vaguely heard the ice powder fruit, but he wasn't sure if it was the one he knew.
His mother is over fifty this year. Logically speaking, fifty is not considered old, but her mother has worked hard for half her life, and her head is gray and her waist is bent.
His father went to the battlefield when he was still young, and never came back. At first, there was money for pensions in the court, but then it gradually became less and less. In less than half a year, it was only one point. All gone.
There is also a younger brother at home, who was still young when his father passed away, so his mother took care of the two brothers alone.
His younger brother got married two years ago, but his younger siblings are lazy. No, the old mother should have relaxed a lot, but now that there were more people in the family, her waist was bent even more.
He just thought that he would also help pick and earn one penny a day, which would make him thirty penny in a month. Thirty penny could buy six kilograms of corn, enough for the two of them to eat for several days.
