Chapter 28 Small Village

Lu Xiaofeng originally wanted to cite a few more things he had experienced as cases to prove his words, but at this time, he sharply saw the door of the small house being opened.

So, he immediately turned his head back and pretended to be concentrating on eating, but in fact he was still staring at the cabin with his peripheral vision.

Sure enough, after a while, the man who had interacted with Humatu before walked out of the hut, pushing a large cart with several shriveled large sacks on it.

He pushed the cart all the way out of the city. The guards guarding the city were obviously very familiar with him. They even stood at the gate of the city and chatted a few words, all about common things.

The guard also said that it would be too hard for him to go out to the city to collect vegetables every day, and he enthusiastically wanted to help him find a wife.

Without saying a few words, the man left the city smoothly. He pushed the cart slowly on the loess road, and the wheels left deep scratches.

"Come on, let's follow. There must be something hidden in that cart!"

They followed immediately.

The man pushed the cart all the way to a small village in the west of the city. It was already the middle of the moon and the surroundings were silent.

Tonight is a rare windless night. The stars and moon hang in the sky, reflecting the tranquility in the world.

Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Qi were still following this man closely. They saw him stop under a crooked neck tree at the entrance of the village. The two of them also stopped immediately and ran up the poplar tree next to them.

The two of them lowered their heads and hid them in their wide and thick leather jackets. Looking from a distance, they looked like two large sand vultures that originally lived here.

After the man stopped the cart and saw that no one was around, he bent down and stretched out his hand to open the buckle on the floor of the cart. Then he grabbed the floor with both hands and pulled it out with a little force.

It turned out that he had already modified this cart with a mechanism, and he had hollowed out the bottom plate, which could hide many small items.

Although the bottom plate is a few inches thicker than a normal cart, as long as you put some empty bags or the like on it, it won't be easily discovered.

And he placed a lot of gold coins between the two floors. There were so many gold coins that Lu Xiaofeng could tell by just looking at them from a distance and counting them roughly.

This would explain why his cart was obviously empty, but the ruts were so deep.

After pulling out the bottom board, the man took an empty sack from the trolley and poured all the gold coins into it.

After putting all the gold coins into the sack, he then dug a big hole under the tree. Perhaps he had done this many times, so the land seemed particularly soft, and he had almost no holes when digging. The sound came out.

After burying the sack containing the gold coins, the man put the bottom plate back again, and then learned two more crow calls before pushing the cart leisurely into the village.

He walked to the third room from the left, then pushed the door open and walked in with the person and the cart. There seemed to be another person in the room, and their conversation could still be vaguely heard.

"...It's a bit late today?"

"The vegetables are sold out... Let's drink some wine... Go to sleep..."

In order to hear clearly what they were talking about, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Qi left the poplar tree and quietly lay down on the eaves of the man's house.

Unfortunately, not long after they came over, the people in the room stopped talking. After a while, they could only hear two snores one after another.

However, fortunately they have just moved their positions.

Because, about a quarter of an hour after the people in the room fell asleep, a tall and strong figure walked over from the other end of the village.

When he came, he happened to pass by the poplar tree where Chu Qi and the others were hiding before. If they had not changed positions at this moment, they would have been discovered by now.

This person's purpose was very clear, and he was also heading for the crooked neck tree at the entrance of the village.

He was carrying a hoe behind his back. Although he was dressed like a farmer, his figure was extremely upright and he didn't look like an ordinary person.
