Li Yang's eyes flashed slightly, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart, but his expression did not change, and he still looked humble.
"Uncle, are you kidding? Aren't we forced to do this? You see, these game meats are collected from the mountains and are fresh..."
Li Yang said while pointing at the wild animals.
Sure enough, when the thin man heard this, there was a trace of salivation in his eyes.
However, he quickly restrained himself and returned to his contemptuous look again.
"Haha~ You are so poor. Do you think everyone is as hungry as you are?"
"This big brother taught me a lesson."
"I think you also want to make a fortune."
The thin man sneered, looked at Li Yang and said.
"Brother, how dare I? The harvest has not been good recently. I just want to exchange these things for some food that can satisfy most people's hunger."
Seeing Li Yang's attitude, he stretched out his hand to stop hitting the smiling man. It was hard for the thin man to say anything unpleasant.
"Look at you, this makes the Sa family an unreasonable person."
When his mouth opens and closes, the thin man bows his hands and looks a little angry.
"The Sa family just made harsh remarks. Little brother, please don't take it personally."
"Where, where."
Li Yang was polite, and then continued: "Uncle, what happened to you?"
The thin man sighed and shook his head: "Well, you've seen it too. Today's food prices are so high that ordinary people like us can hardly survive."
It turned out to be about food.
Li Yang's mind was spinning, and he couldn't help showing an anxious look on his face: "In that case, why don't uncle find someone to buy it?"
“Isn’t this affordable?”
The thin man sighed: "My three-year-old child was waiting for this meal, but now there is only half a bowl of porridge left. The child is suffering."
"Uncle, let's do this. You can use some of my mushrooms and game to make porridge for the child. Who can't bear the pain?"
After Li Yang finished speaking, he handed the basket full of wild animals to the thin man.
The thin man was stunned for a moment, but he refused to accept it: "This is inappropriate, how can you get it for free? No, no, no."
Li Yang firmly placed these things in the thin man's hands: "Uncle, just accept them."
"We can all carry it as adults, but children can't carry it."
"this……"
The thin man hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then I, Wang, will accept this friendship!"
Li Yang handed over something with his hands trembling a little, and the man seemed to have thought of something.
"Here, little brother and father-in-law, are you still going out of the city tonight? Why don't you just go to my house for the night?"
Wang Dao himself is a character who doesn't like to owe favors. He has decided to invite Li Yang to his home for a meal tonight and send them out by the way.
"Why is this so embarrassing?" Li Yang said hesitantly.
"Hey, we're all farmers, what's there to be embarrassed about? Come on, I'll take you in to rest for a while."
With that said, Wang Dao took the lead and walked towards the square.
Village Chief Liu looked at Li Yang, who nodded after being silent for a moment.
Their current situation really just needs to find out information. It would definitely be better if they had a place to stay.
"Let's go."
"Well, let's go."
With that said, Village Chief Liu carried the bamboo basket on his back, and Li Yang followed Wang Dao in the ox cart and walked deeper into the Bluestone City.
In the square, hundreds of people had gathered at this time, some of whom were wearing coarse linen clothes and were obviously not from wealthy families.
Moreover, their clothes were more or less stained with dust and dirt, and it looked like they had not taken a shower for a long time.
"Who are these people?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't talk."
"What are you afraid of? They've already arrived at the square, why are you afraid of them?"
"Shut up, don't forget, there is a dog here."
…
The people around him were talking a lot, but they never made any big noise.
Just when Li Yang and Village Chief Liu were still curious, Wang Dao spat angrily.
"Dog officer!"
Although this sound was small, Li Yang's health was very good after practicing martial arts, so of course he heard it.
He was secretly shocked and couldn't help frowning at Wang Dao, but he didn't speak. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him.
Li Yang glanced at the people, and he found that there was no fear in their eyes, and there was even a hint of hatred and excitement in their eyes.
This surprised Li Yang, but he was not ready to meddle in other people's business, so he and Village Chief Liu followed Wang Dao and moved forward.
At this time, the people in the square gradually dispersed, leaving only a few people watching.
Soon, Wang Dao led Li Yang and Village Chief Liu into a courtyard.
This courtyard is not too big, but it is kept clean and tidy. The walls of the house are also made of bricks and tiles. It can be said that apart from keeping warm and keeping out the cold, it has no beauty at all. There are three rooms in total.
"Little brother, you can just live here. I'll go cook for the children first. If anything happens, just call me."
Wang Dao confessed and left.
Li Yang entered the house and looked around, and found that although the house was simple, the beds and bedding were complete.
Putting down their backpacks, Li Yang and Village Chief Liu sat on the edge of the Kang and began to discuss.
"General, what are we going to do after this?"
Li Yang touched the stubble that had grown out, thought for a while and then spoke.
"Village Chief, our first task now is to inquire about the situation of the city and those who defend it. Moreover, I think this Wang Dao is not simple. His attitude towards these people is a bit strange."
Village Chief Liu nodded and frowned slightly: "Indeed, this Wang Dao's behavior is a bit weird. He is friendly to us, but he seems to have some hidden purposes. We must be careful in our next actions."
Li Yang thought for a moment, and then continued: "We can take advantage of Wang Dao's enthusiasm and have more contact with him to see if we can get more information from him. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the movements of other people to see if there is any There is no other force to turn to.”
The village chief took a puff of dry tobacco and nodded in agreement: "These generals can make the decision."
Sensing that Village Chief Liu was a little worried, Li Yang said with a smile: "Don't worry, Village Chief, I have confidence in my own strength. We will try to keep a low profile and not attract unnecessary attention."
Just as the two were discussing their next plan, Wang Dao walked in, holding a bowl of steaming mushroom soup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Little brother, father-in-law, the food is ready, come and have a taste."
Yang and Village Chief Liu looked at the steaming food in front of them, salivating and couldn't help laughing.
They understand that it is crucial for them to establish good relationships with the people of this city.
