Chapter 276

The officer's face was full of joy when he heard the words. Although a basket of vegetables and two buckets of water were not enough for them to take home, it was not bad to be able to eat delicious fresh vegetables in the yamen. He and the vegetable basket were lifted from the car.

Seeing that there was nothing left in the car except people, Lu Anlang let out a long sigh when he saw that a few pairs of staring eyes also disappeared.

If he was the only one, he wouldn't be afraid of those people coming to grab water and food, but the rest of the car besides him were either children or women, no matter how good Hao'er could fight, he would be no match for four hands. After walking to many secluded places, he dare not say that he can protect these people.

The master said to an officer: "Go and tell the brother guarding the city gate that Brother Anlang is one of his own, and don't collect his city gate tax when you leave the city and enter the city."

The officer smiled and agreed, and said to Lu Anlang, "Brother Anlang, come with me in the car."

Lu Anlang thanked him and drove the car to follow. When he came to the city gate, the officials and the city gate army let them go. After leaving the city gate, Yuxiang was still counting: "The city gate tax of [-] yuan per person is not counted. Young master, there are five of us, so we saved a hundred Wen, and an ox cart saved thirty Wen. Although my uncle can sell these two buckets of water and a basket of vegetables for more money, he made friends with the Yamen. It will be convenient for the people here to do things in the future, my uncle is really smart."

Lu Anlang blushed again after being praised, thinking that this Yuxiang could really talk, so could it be that Qi Nanqin likes her so much.

Because there was nothing in the car, the journey was very peaceful, and we soon arrived at Daxi Village.When we left the village in the morning, the road surface was still clean, but there were many stones on the road at this time, the big ones were as big as watermelons, and the small ones were as big as fists. Lu An drove the car carefully to avoid those stones.

Yuxiang asked strangely: "Who threw so many stones on the road? Is it because you don't want people to walk?"

Lu Anlang frowned, but Jiang Caiyue saw such a scene in her previous life, and explained: "Throwing these stones on the road makes the car unable to go fast. If someone comes to the village and wants to grab something, they can also transport it after driving the car." don't go."

Lu Anlang said: "There were no such stones on the road in the morning, but now they are everywhere. Could it be that something happened in the village?"

Jiang Caiyue was also worried about this. After bypassing the stone road, Lu Anlang accelerated the speed of the bullock cart, and soon saw the entrance of the village, and saw people pushing carts out of the village entrance. The carts were full of large and small stones. Lu Anlang glanced at Lu Youcai and asked, "Brother Youcai, what's the matter?"

Lu Youcai stopped the car, wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "A group of people came this morning, more than 100 of them, all of them were holding big knives, and they would grab things when they entered the village. At that time, there were only about fifty people patrolling the village. The village head was afraid of hurting the villagers and did not let them confront them head-on. Fortunately, everyone hid their things, and they didn't dare to wait too long. They only grabbed a few things and some water and ran away. They all came by car, and when all the people in the village gathered, they would run far away and couldn't catch up. The village head asked us to move stones to block the road at the entrance of the village. Next time someone wants to enter the village to grab something. It's not so easy to run."

Lu Anlang said angrily: "It's shameful, do you recognize where those people are from?"

Lu Youcai shook his head, "Those people covered their faces when they entered the village, so they couldn't see what they looked like, but since they covered their faces, they were probably afraid of being recognized. We all guessed that the people in the surrounding cities were crazy with thirst."
