Chapter 2409 Dark under the lamp

 "And me!" Li Qianyu stretched out her head and squeezed in between the two of them. Li Luo glanced at it and stepped aside a foot in disgust. She was very smart and knew how to paint her little face.

Dusty and dirty, he looks like a little beggar who has been hungry for who knows how long.

Su Tan'er reluctantly hummed, steeled herself, and refrained from looking back at the suffering people of Sujiazhai. After entering the village, everyone was no longer interested in admiring the scenery, and hurried to the Sujiazhai Medicine Hall. The door was open.

, someone was collecting the medicine, Su Tan'er's eyes narrowed slightly, she recognized that person, he was an uncle in the clan, he used to be quite close to her, and she was very familiar with her. Su Tan'er's heart moved, and just as she was about to say hello, Li Luoqing

He patted her shoulder lightly and gave a vague signal. In addition to the old man, there were three or five clerks in the medicine hall. They looked very smart, but there was a fierce look between their eyebrows. She didn't know the seriousness, but

But Li Luo could tell that they were all bandits with blood on their hands, spying on people who came in and out of Sujiazhai to sell medicine.

The old man was a little surprised when he saw someone coming to sell medicine. Life was not peaceful, and few people came to Sujiazhai to deliver medicine. He just looked a little numb and confused, as if he was waiting to die.

The middle-aged man recognized the old man and stepped forward and called: "Brother from the Seven Clans."

The old man raised his head and stared blankly for a moment. It took him a while to recognize the person and forced a smile: "Yuan'an, why are you here?"

The middle-aged man put down his pole and replied honestly: "Brother, I'm here to deliver the medicine."

The corner of the old man's mouth twitched slightly and he said: "It's a long way to go."

"Yes." The middle-aged man sighed with emotion, "There is little salt and oil in the village, so there is really nothing we can do about it. I can't help but come."

While he was talking, a boy came forward. The old man's face changed slightly, he coughed, and stared at the herbs in the load without saying a word. The boy smiled and asked seemingly casually: "Where are you from, brother?"

?”

The middle-aged man took off the herbs and replied: "Falcon Village."

"Falcon Village? It's not close."

"Well, we have to walk on the road for several days."

"Is it still peaceful?"

The middle-aged man nodded, then shook his head. The old man's heart tightened, and he winked at the middle-aged man behind his back. He didn't seem to see it, and said without any thought: "On the way, I met the king of the mountain patrolling the mountain. I checked two people.

Time, nothing else."

"Oh, are they giving you a hard time?"

The middle-aged man replied blankly: "It doesn't really matter, I just messed up the herbs." His tone was a bit of a vague complaint.

The man smiled and looked down at the herbs in the load: "Are you all from Falcon Village?"

"There are also those from Yangshanjian. It's a long way, so let's go together."

The waiter looked at the group of eight people and stayed on Li Qianyu for a moment. Li Qianyu opened his big eyes and looked left and right blankly, curious at all times, but also seemed to be cautious and scared at the same time.

The little country bumpkin who has never seen the world played the role so vividly that Fengli was amazed. She also felt a bit threatened and oppressed. If she were to follow the young master lingeringly, in the future, she would be so good at pretending to be stupid.

You have to be better than yourself.

The clerk didn't doubt her. If there was something wrong in his heart, he wouldn't be so calm and flawless.

"Uncle Clan, collect the medicine." The clerk reminded the old man. The old man came to his senses and agreed solemnly. He sorted the herbs and gathered them together. After counting them, he asked them whether they were bartering or calculating money. The middle-aged man looked carefully.

He looked at it again and again and whispered, "It's less than before."

The old man secretly sighed, less is better than nothing. If he had done it earlier, let alone changing money, he might have lost his life.

The middle-aged man discussed with a few people, and half of the money was exchanged, and the other half was bartered. The clerk had no doubts. Most of the time, people who came to sell medicine were like this. It was rare that they all exchanged money, and bartering was the most common. There were not a few people who did half and half.

After collecting the medicine, the load was replaced with oil, salt and other things. It was much lighter and a lot empty. The old man waved goodbye: "The medicine has been collected, then I won't keep you. Go back as soon as possible. I have been out for so long.

It's time to wait." The old man had good intentions and didn't want to keep them. Today's Sujiazhai is in troubled times. If you stay here, you might know when disaster will fall from the sky. When the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be about losing money to eliminate the disaster, but about saving your life.

it's here.

The middle-aged man looked at the sky and said honestly: "Brother Qizu, you see it's getting late. Can you let us stay overnight and go back early tomorrow morning?"

Normally, Sujiazhai has a special residence for foreigners to stay, and they never drive people away. If they come to deliver medicine, they will stay for a few days, at least one day, and it won't matter if it takes more than three or five days, like

It is rare for people not to accept guests like this today, let alone the middle-aged man and the village owner who are still related to each other. However, things are different from the past. Keeping guests is harmful. The old man wants them to leave quickly, but he can't do it directly.

He said, with a sullen face and said nothing, hoping to tell them to look at the situation and leave on their own.

At this time, the waiter smiled and said: "Okay, the rooms in the living room are empty. You can stay and have a rest. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning. Uncle clan, they have worked hard all the way, so they should wash away their travel dust and be out of the way."

The old man shivered and replied quickly: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way."

"Guys, please come with me." The waiter greeted and enthusiastically led everyone to the living room. The old man looked at the retreating figures of the group and shook his head and sighed. Forget it, it's time for fate. I hope they can be safe.

Get through this ordeal.

The living room is in a yard behind the medicine hall. There are about ten rooms, most of which are empty. The waiter asked them to choose a room to live in at will, and then left. Just when Su Tan'er was about to speak, Li Luo shook his head gently and said through the voice

: "Let's talk after we get in, they haven't left yet."

Su Tan'er's heart froze, and it turned out that someone was peeping in secret, so she stopped talking and went into the house with Li Luo. Li Qianyu wanted to follow in, but unexpectedly, Gan Qi and Feng Li pushed him to the left.

The two people from Falcon Village first went to the right room to rest. The middle-aged man said a few words, then turned around and knocked on the door of Li Luo and Su Tan'er's room. After Li Luo opened the door, they chatted casually for a few words.

She turned sideways and let him into the house. Everything was normal and natural, nothing unusual. However, if you got closer, you could see the middle-aged man's pale face and slightly trembling legs. He was in danger and had to tell Li Luo what he had told him.

It would be really difficult for him to keep his face from showing flaws. If it were just a little longer, it’s hard to say whether the flaw would be revealed.

About a moment later, the middle-aged man left the house and returned to his room to rest. There used to be a village woman who helped cook in the living room to prepare meals for the overnight guests, but now she has long disappeared. There is rice and rice in the kitchen.
