Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

After signing the document with the two middle-aged men, Xu Yuan went to Fumanlou on purpose and explained the situation to the old lady who came to open the door every time before leaving.

I took my two children to the steamed buns shop and bought a few steamed buns. I also went to the grain shop and bought two kilograms of peanuts, which people here call ground beans.

These peanuts were still in their shells, and no one had ever seen such a thing before. Xu Yuan saw the price tag and tried to sell them at six cents to see if he could.

After all, these strange things are very rare.

Seeing that Xuyuan wanted two kilograms of rice right away, the store owner was very happy and gave Xuyuan some extra rice. The family was running out of brown rice and coarse noodles, and they also had to prepare some soybeans for bean sprouts. After all, some villagers didn't leave the county town often, so if they ran out of soybeans, they would usually buy them from Xuyuan.

After Xuyuan bought what he needed at the grain store, the back of his backpack was almost full. He also needed to buy some oil for the house, so he went to the butcher's shop. He thought that he would visit someone's home and couldn't go empty-handed, so he took another piece of meat with the right amount of fat and lean meat, and bought some fat slices, put them in the backpack, and then went to the dried fruit shop.

There are children at home, and children like sweet things the most. Lao Gao was not there at the moment, and a young man was watching the store. He made a wish and took some sweet dates.

I also asked my two younger brothers what they wanted to eat.

When the two kids came into Lao Gao's dried fruit shop, they were very excited, after all, the osmanthus cake was really delicious.

"Big sister, do you want to buy some of this osmanthus cake?"

Although many people had just eaten steamed buns on the street, they still couldn't help swallowing when they saw the shelves full of cakes and dried fruits this time.

"Okay, buy them." Xu Yuan had just taken the money. Although he had just spent a lot, he could still afford these desserts. The main feature of Lao Gao Dried Fruit Shop was affordability.

After buying the desserts and paying the bills, I saw that there were fewer and fewer people on the street, so I started walking towards where the ox carts were parked, carrying my things.

·······

"Yue Lai, you stay here and I'll go buy some food and bring it back later."

Liu Yuelai nodded.

There were no customers at this time, and the surrounding vendors were closing their stalls one after another, so Liu Zhushan didn't worry that he would be too busy. There were still some items left on the stall that had not been sold, so Liu Zhushan planned to close the stall after buying some food.

Not long after Liu Zhushan left, the person who had been hiding in the crowd at the back and spying for a long time saw that there was no one around and was about to order the people at the back to move forward, when Xu Yuan drove Dahua over.

What bad luck.

He cursed fiercely in his heart and slowly retreated.

Xu Yuan noticed the abnormality with his sharp eyes, and was cautious. He secretly exchanged the eavesdropping powder from Xiao Jiu and sprinkled it behind the leader without anyone noticing.

"Yue Lai, you've been setting up a stall in the county town recently. Have any strange customers come to see you?"

"No, we don't come here every day. This is the second time we come to the county town." Liu Yuelai was puzzled when he heard Xu Yuan's question, but he also kept it in mind.

Xu Yuan suspected that the people in charge of the mountain village had not given up and were still doing these dirty things in secret.

Don’t let me catch who it is. After all, my golden finger is not for decoration.

"It's okay. I met a mysterious passerby when I was shopping before, so I just wanted to ask you if you have met such a person."

"How long has your father been gone?"

When Xu Yuan saw that Liu Zhushan was not at the stall, he guessed that he had gone to buy something.

"I just left not long ago. You wait here for a moment."

Over there, Liu Zhushan hurried to the grain store and bought two kilograms of brown rice and coarse noodles. He also saw the peanuts, but when he saw the price tag, he gave up the idea.

He then went to the butcher's shop, weighed a pound of pork with a little bit of fat, and hurried back.

When Liu Zhushan hurried back to his stall, he saw Xu Yuan and the others waiting there from afar, and felt very embarrassed.

"Xiao Xu, you must have waited for a long time."

Seeing Liu Zhushan coming over in a hurry, "No, Uncle Liu, take your time, there's no rush."

·······

The ox cart was moving, and Liu Zhushan was driving in front. Liu Zhushan and Liu Yuelai were pushing the cart to the county town, and now they were parked behind the wishing cart.

Xu Yuan looked back with a serious face and gave Liu Zhushan a look.

Liu Zhushan also noticed it and thought to himself that this was really too outrageous, so he drove the ox cart directly in the direction of the group of people.

"Boss, they seem to have discovered us, should we retreat?"

"Let's go. If we are discovered, it will be difficult to follow us next time."

Seeing that the group of people had left, Liu Zhushan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Xu, you have to be careful with your two little brothers. I suspect it's the same thing as last time. They are so bold and still refuse to give up."

"Don't worry, I will."

With Dahua's help, the two-hour walk was reduced by half, and they soon arrived at the big rock with the Zhuhou Village logo.

The roads in Zhuhou Village are different from those in Hsinchu Village. The roads here are not so winding. They are all well-developed paths, very flat, with few steep slopes.

After entering Zhuhou Village, you can see piles of straw everywhere. Chickens, ducks and geese are also wandering around the village, and there are a few puppies chasing the chickens and ducks.

There were a few children chasing and playing around, and every household had their doors tightly shut. Liu Zhushan drove Dahua around a small path and then walked towards the back of the mountain. The further he walked, the fewer houses there were.

"Sister, there are so many bamboos here!" Many people couldn't help but admire the beautiful scenery.

"Big sister?" At this time, Guozi had no time to cover his mouth, and he spoke out in a crisp voice.

It was too late for many to react, and they looked annoyed.

Xu Yuan was surprised to see Liu Yuelai and looked over, "Xiao Xu... Sister Xiao Xu?"

When Xuyuan heard this, he thought it was a strange name.

Liu Zhushan laughed out loud and didn't show any surprise.

"Uncle Liu, when did you know?"

"I'm not very good at seeing. Of course I didn't find it. It was Xiaojuan who recognized it."

It turned out to be the girl named Li Juanhua. She has really good eyesight.

Anyway, I just want to make things convenient for myself, but it is a bit troublesome to dress up.

"Here we are, right here."

After climbing up this slope, you will enter a bamboo forest, which is very quiet. From afar, you can see bamboo houses hidden in the bamboo forest, which is very mysterious.

The breeze made a rustling sound, and the bamboo leaves fell slowly from above.

Wang Shan was clearing the wasteland not far from the bamboo house. He saw an ox cart coming from afar. The person driving the cart in front looked very familiar.

"Dad, Dad, you're back. What a big bull. Whose is it?"

Zhou Daquan, who was behind, heard Niu Niu and rushed out as well.

Liu Xiaoyu ran back from the house happily, carrying a small backpack.

When he saw the Xuyuan siblings behind him, he instantly became quiet.
