Li Yunze finished the noodles in the bowl and said, "I'll go out and explain to Dakui later.
If someone comes to us tomorrow, let him ask for rent from those people, saying that we rented his room for two days and didn't even pay him the rent. "
Ye Yutong thought his idea was a good one, nodded and said: "We didn't have much interaction with Da Kui, but Butler Yu saw us when we were putting things away that day. We were afraid that he wouldn't find us and would jump over the wall to embarrass innocent people. "
Today I saw Da Kui and his wife having dinner. Each of them only had a small black-faced steamed bun, and their life was difficult. When she was leaving, she left some food for the two of them.
Dakui is a nice person, a very honest young man. He has helped a lot in the past two days. Although they gave him money, the two of them are really dedicated.
Ye Mingzhe went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Ye Yutong and Li Yunze came out of the room.
Dakui and his mother had already fallen asleep. When they heard a knock on the door outside, they knew it was Li Yunze and the others, so they hurriedly got up from the bed, opened the door and let them in.
Li Yunze told him what had offended the housekeeper today, and taught him how to deal with the people he found.
Dakui smiled honestly, "It's okay, we are leaving here soon. If you have no place to go, you can stay at my house."
Ye Yutong asked in surprise: "Dakui, it's so chaotic outside now, with victims everywhere, where are you going?"
Dakui sighed and said helplessly: "The price of food is getting higher and higher now, and the breakfast shop can't be opened. My mother and I are going to join my uncle."
"Where is your uncle? Is it far from here?"
"It's about ten days' journey from here, on the other side of Qingshan Town. But my uncle doesn't live in the town. They are hunters in the mountains. They live in the mountains all year round and rarely go out. They usually make a living by hunting."
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong looked at each other, Qingshan Town? Isn't that the town where they bought the bamboo basket?
Da Kui's uncle should be hunting on the outskirts of Lingnan Mountain, not far from Qingshan Town.
It's really nice to go there, it's better than spending time in the city. The drought will be more severe next year.
When the time comes, things from outside won’t be able to come in, and the only food in the city will become more and more expensive, so it’s better to leave early.
Ye Yutong said worriedly: "There are so many victims on the road now, are you and my aunt not safe?"
Although the mountain road to Qingshan Town is steep and rugged, a small number of victims still walked that way, mainly people who went into the mountains in search of food.
If they go back, they can take the two of them with them, but if they want to visit other towns, they can't go together.
Dakui said with a smile: "I used to follow my parents on mountain trails to see my uncle. Although the trail is a bit difficult, few people know about it, so we are not in a hurry, so we can walk slowly!"
After speaking, he looked at the two of them, hesitating to speak. He hesitated for a while, and then said: "If you have no place to go, you can go into the mountains with us. There are many wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains, so it is no problem to have enough food and clothing."
Afraid that the two of them would not understand the situation in Qingzhou City, they lowered their voices and said, "Food in the city is getting more and more expensive. How can ordinary people like us afford it? If you have somewhere to go, let's leave early."
Li Yunze patted his shoulder appreciatively. Dakui looked naive, but unexpectedly he was quite considerate.
He smiled and said: "We still have some things to do here, and we will be leaving in two days. When are you and aunt going to leave?"
"I originally planned to stay in two days. Since I have offended the housekeeper, let's leave early tomorrow morning. Anyway, it doesn't matter if we go one day earlier or one day later."
Li Yunze said apologetically: "Then we will send you and your aunt off tomorrow morning."
Dakui waved his hand and said: "There is no need to send anything, and there is nothing. It can be pulled in one cart. We don't go through the city gate. There is a path into the mountain in the north. It is very hidden. Not many people know about it. We go directly into the mountain from there." "
The three of them talked in the room again, and then Li Yunze and Ye Yutong took their leave, found a remote place, and entered the space.
Because it was too late, there was no time to prepare anything else. Ye Yutong cooked ten salted eggs, ten salted duck eggs, and a few white eggs.
I went to the basement again and packed some flatbreads and fried noodles that I had made before, and asked Dakui and his wife to take them with them to eat on the road tomorrow morning.
The next morning, just after dawn, Ye Yutong and the others came out of the space.
Li Yunze carried a basket on his back, which contained food for Da Kui and his wife.
Dakui and his mother had already loaded everything on the cart. They didn't bring much, just a few quilts and clothes. There were two bags wrapped in the quilt, which should be food.
The rest of the things were locked in the house. They just went to hide with their uncle for two years and would come back later.
"Dakui, here's some food for you and Auntie to take on the road." Li Yunze put the basket on his cart.
"No, no, we've brought food."
Dakui opened a cloth bag and showed them. It contained a dozen black noodle steamed buns and some dried vegetables.
Li Yunze ignored his refusal, put the backpack on the cart, patted him twice on the shoulder and said, "Let's set off early! Pay attention to safety on the road."
Dakui saw that he couldn't refuse, so he accepted it embarrassedly.
He thought it was just a few steamed buns or something. After leaving the city, when the two of them were sitting on the road to rest, they lifted up the straw on the basket and were shocked to see what was inside.
Da Kui Niang said worriedly: "Da Kui! Why do those little brothers give so many things? How much is this worth? We can't ask for such expensive things, why don't we send them back?"
"Mom, we've been gone for so long. If we go back now, I'm afraid we won't be able to find these little brothers. Let's just keep our things and repay them when we have the opportunity in the future."
He peeled off a salted duck egg and gave it to my mother, "Mom, eat it!"
Da Kuiniang hesitated for a moment, then took it. Her son was very filial, and if she didn't eat, he wouldn't even move.
After Ye Yutong and the others sent Da Kui and his wife away, they entered the space directly.
After breakfast, I changed my clothes and went shopping again.
They bought all the salt shops in Qingzhou City, and there were already more than a hundred kilograms in the space.
Chen San promised to help get a few hundred kilograms last night. If his promise can be fulfilled, they will not have to worry about salt in the next few years.
It doesn't matter if they can't get it. At worst, they can stay in Qingzhou City for a few more days and buy a little every day, which will be enough to eat for a long time.
The day went smoothly. Li Yunze went to Dakui's shop several times to observe, but he didn't see anyone suspicious.
But he knew in his heart that it was impossible for Butler Yu to just let it go like this. The man was a vengeful man who was determined to retaliate.
I'll deliver something to Chen Mansion again tonight. I'll leave the city immediately after getting the salt. I can't stay here any longer.
