Chapter 73

Erpeng nodded after hearing this and said, "You can rest assured walnut."

After giving all these orders, Walnut shouted standing in front of the opened bag of sweet potatoes.She shouted: "Uncles and aunts passing by, you want to buy big and sweet sweet potatoes, come to me, they are cheap and delicious."

With the cries of walnuts, many people in the market gathered around, asked the price and bought them. The dozen or so bags of sweet potatoes were almost sold out under the constant promotion of walnuts.Zhengshan and Erpeng laughed when they saw this.

At this moment, the few people who thought it was too expensive came back again, looked at the sweet potatoes they bought, smiled and said to Walnut: "You only have so much left, so the three of us bought them all, you Can you sell it to us cheaper?"

Hearing the words of the three people, Walnut shook his head and said, "This is not good. My sweet potatoes are really good. If you want to buy them, hurry up, or they will be sold out in a while."

Seeing that the price could not be lowered, the three sweet potato buyers felt that her sweet potatoes were very good, so they bought them anyway.

After Walnut finished buying sweet potatoes, the three of them led the car and Zhengshan Erpeng went around the market, bought some daily necessities, and bought some delicious food, and then drove the car to go back. I just walked through the market At the exit, Zhengshan suddenly saw a person selling books, he walked over, squatted there and started reading.

Walnut led the ox cart while talking to Erpeng. While talking, Erpeng suddenly said, "Walnut, Zhengshan is gone."

After hearing Erpeng's words, Walnut turned to look behind the car, but Zhengshan was nowhere to be seen.

Walnut stopped the car and looked around, only to find that Zhengshan was squatting in front of a book-buying booth not far away, reading a book.

Seeing this, Walnut said directly to Erpeng, "Sit in the car, let's go and have a look."

Walnut led the car to the place where Zhengshan was reading, walked up to his back, patted his shoulder and said, "What book are you reading?"

Hearing Walnut's voice, Zhengshan put down the book in his hand and said, "It's a book about the art of war, it's very nice."

Hearing what Zhengshan said, Walnut looked at him and said with a smile, "I never thought you could read! How come I don't know when you learned it and who you learned it from!"

Zhengshan listened to Walnut's words, laughed hehe, scratched the back of his head with his hands a little embarrassedly and said: "As long as I can remember, my father taught me to read, there are many books in my house, and I read them every night before I go to bed. .”

Hearing what he said, Walnut smiled and said, "Since you like this book so much, you should buy it.

Without giving Zhengshan any chance to refuse, he took out the book and handed it to the book seller.

Seeing this, Zhengshan hurriedly said to Walnut, "Don't buy it, this book is so expensive that it costs [-] copper coins! The money for buying this book is enough for you to live for ten days and a half months."

Listening to what he said, Walnut smiled and said, "Since you like to buy it, just buy it. Money has a price and knowledge is priceless."

After the words fell, Walnut handed the book to Zhengshan and said, "Take it carefully!"

After buying the books, Walnut looked at Erpeng and Zhengshan and asked, "Is there anything else to buy. If there are no more, let's go back."

Zhengshan and Erpeng listened to his words, and shook their heads at the same time, indicating that there was nothing more to buy.

Hearing what the two said, Walnut pulled the ox cart and was about to leave. Suddenly, Walnut felt something was wrong, and her intuition told her that there seemed to be a few strange eyes staring at herself and Zhengshan.She looked over according to her feeling, and saw a plainly dressed young man looking at herself and Zhengshan. When she realized that she was looking at them, the young man's eyes suddenly dodged and he looked around.

Walnut stood there holding the ox cart and watched, suddenly feeling puzzled, at this moment Zhengshan stood beside her and asked, "Walnut, what's wrong with you, why don't you leave?"

Hearing Zhengshan's words, Walnut looked away, and looked around himself, but found nothing unusual.

Wei Wei thought for a while, and said, "Zhengshan, sit in the car! We'll go home right away."

After the words fell, Walnut hurried to the car and walked home. On the way, Walnut and Zhengshan started chatting, and only heard Walnut say: "Zhengshan, when we were about to come out of the market just now, I found that someone seemed to be watching us, you Could it have something to do with the two thieves from last night?"

Hearing what Walnut said, Zhengshan's expression changed and he said, "Why don't I know when it happened?"

Walnut smiled and said, "You're all focused on reading, so you still have the time to observe the people around you!"

As soon as Walnut finished speaking, Erpeng said: "Walnut, you feel it too! I just saw a man who has been with us for a long time. I didn't pay attention at first, but then I watched us go, and he left. , We stopped and he stopped, only then did he know that they were following us, Walnut, what do you think he followed us?"

Hearing what the two said, Zhengshan thought for a while and said, "It should be related to this car! After all, thieves never leave, and last night, not only did the thieves leave the car at your house, do they want to leave it behind?" Can you get the car back?"

Hearing Zhengshan's words, Walnut nodded and said, "Then help me analyze it and see who the thief is."

Zhengshan sitting on the ox cart heard what Walnut said, thought for a while and said: "It seems that this cart is not from our village. If so, someone should know the cow and the cart, but we are carrying grain around the village. When I walked out, I met a lot of people, but no one asked, which means that the cow and the cart are not from our village."

Hearing Zhengshan's analysis, Walnut felt that it made sense, but after thinking about it for a while, she came up with a different opinion, so she heard her say: "What you said makes sense, but if it weren't for the people in our village, where would it be?" As for the people in the village, my family just had a bumper harvest in less than a day, so it’s impossible for the people in the village outside to be so well-informed, right?”

Zhengshan listened to Walnut and said: "You are right, but the news that your mother took people to your house to grab food yesterday spread in this village. Do you think that people in this village heard about it? They colluded with people from the countryside outside, otherwise, how could these two thieves have the courage to drive a car to your house to steal things."
