Chapter 127
After buying the food, Inspector Zhao left in a hurry. After walking for a while, he found someone following him.

He deliberately walked a few small alleys without leaving, knowing in his heart that this group of people was probably after his food.

After all, the price of grain sold by those thieves is so high, there are many people who can't afford it, and if they can't afford it, they can only rob others.

After a few rounds around the alley, he quickly ran away, finally throwing off the group of people behind.

Then he walked cautiously towards the house.

Detective Zhao sighed quickly, and didn't know when the imperial court would send troops to suppress these bandits.

When he was going out earlier, he passed by the cold drink shop, and saw that the building was already empty and there was a dead body. He didn't know what happened to Aunt Wang and the others.

He changed his mind and smiled wryly, now he can hardly take care of his own family, and he still thinks about others.

But he thought that he still had some kind of friendship with Ning Changrong, and he also hoped that Wang Xiujuan and the others would be safe.

……

"Brother, why do we have to sell food to these people? Why don't we just grab their money? Why waste the food for nothing?"

Hu Dadao sat high in the lobby of the county government office and said:
"What do you know? If these people have no food to eat, wouldn't these people become chaotic? Do you know how many people there are in this county? There are at least tens of thousands. We only have more than 5000 people. Although we have added a lot of people recently, but There are only more than 6000 brothers in total, and these people are all locals in the county, if the whole county rebels against us, it is not certain who these people will help, how can our brothers get rich?"

"Anyway, we won't be able to take all the grain in the grain depot when we leave, so we might as well sell it to these people, and we can make some money to take it away. When we have money, what can't we buy?"

"Brother is tall! Why didn't I think about it?"

"Haha, well, don't say these are nice, how are those clans doing?"

The subordinate sitting on the right side of Hu Dadao replied: "I reckon it's almost the same. Today I killed the grandson of the old man Wang, but he is not willing to hand over 2 taels. He keeps saying that their family has no money."

Hu Dadao nodded in satisfaction, "Try killing his son tomorrow."

……

Everything is easy to solve on this mountain, pots and pans can be temporarily removed.

But there is one thing that cannot be avoided.

That is salt.

You can't do anything without salt.

Both Ning Changrong and Village Chief Ning have cows. If they are on the mountain, they can eat some grass, so don't worry about it.

As for salt supplementation, the two cows depend entirely on salt horn grass.

It was Ning Changrong, who heard from the villagers that people would be poisoned if they ate it, but animals could eat it. The two cows ate salt hornwort, which could replenish the salt needed by their bodies.

But they couldn't eat it. All the salt used on the mountain belonged to Ning Changrong's family.

Being able to survive until now is already the result of saving and saving.

After Ning Changrong listened to the news reported by Wang Xiujuan, the chief logistics manager, he thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, I'll take someone to the official road in a few days to see if I can meet some merchants and buy some from them. It should be How long can it last?"

Wang Xiujuan nodded, "Save it up, it can last for more than ten days."

Ning Changrong looked at the black spot that was grazing in the distance, and said with a smile: "It has a better life on the mountain than us. It doesn't need to be fed. Fortunately, there is salt horn grass, otherwise the two cows will be added." , this salt has to be removed again.”

Turning around, she said to Wang Xiujuan: "By the way, mother, how is the pepper you planted? I remember you said that there are pumpkin seeds in it? If it is planted, it will be regarded as a kind of food by then."

"Don't worry, it's growing well. This place has good fertility. It won't be long before we can eat chili peppers. At that time, let's eat more to get rid of the moisture in our bodies."

Ning Changrong was relieved after hearing this.

After chatting with Wang Xiujuan for a few more words, he went to pick people up and lead them down the mountain. Ning Daniu, his right-hand man, would definitely take them with him. Ning Husheng recently got a hand crossbow that Xixi asked Carpenter Sun to make. can be added.

Adding his second brother Ning Laoer is almost enough.

Ever since Ning Qingxi asked Carpenter Sun to make hand crossbows for the whole village to use, everyone knew the importance of this thing and practiced it whenever he had time.

Now it can barely be regarded as a soldier of the whole people, but when encountering an enemy, it is not certain what kind of performance it will have.

But bluffing is enough.

When Ning Changrong went to find Ning Husheng, the other party was still practicing shooting.

"Whoosh!"

"Not bad!" Ning Changrong approached while clapping his hands.

Ning Husheng was a little embarrassed when he heard that, "It's not as good as Xixi, even Shui Qiang shoots better than me."

Ning Changrong encouraged: "Xixi was born with it." He spent money to pile it up!If he could catch up with his daughter after ten days and half a month of training, wouldn't it be in vain before?
"Shui Qiang's family is all hunters, and they live by hunting. If you can't do this, how can you live on it? Don't compare with them."

The two chatted for a while.

Only then did Ning Husheng remember, "By the way, Chang Rong, why did you suddenly come to look for me?"

Everyone knows how busy Ning Changrong is, and it's hard to find him.Why do you still have time to chat with him for so long?

Ning Changrong slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory, I'm here to inform you that we're going to go out the mountain the day after tomorrow, and I want to go to the official road to see if we can meet a merchant. We have some things to buy, and the rest You can take it easy, you can’t buy this salt.”

In the vicinity of Taixi County, Ning Changrong also took people to see it a few times, and until now, the gate has been tightly closed.

It can be seen from a distance that the color of the flagpole inserted on the city wall is not the same as before.

Naturally, he would not run over there to die.But the nearest county seat is Taixi County, and if you want to go further, you are afraid that there will be risks on the road.I can only squat on the official road first to see if I can meet a merchant.If it doesn't work, try again.

"Okay, no problem."

After notifying Ning Husheng, Ning Changrong went to find Ning Daniu and Ning Erer.

Village head Ning and his little grandson just came back from the outside, and before they had time to say hello, Ning Changrong was gone.

"Why did Evergreen come to see you? Is there something wrong?"

Ning Husheng honestly told him what Ning Changrong had told him.

Village head Ning said: "With so many of us, it really takes a lot of salt. That is to say, Evergreen and the others have prepared in advance. Alas, we all owe their family."

Village Chief Ning paused and said seriously: "When you go out, you have to protect Changrong well, even if you risk your life! Do you hear me clearly?"

Village head Ning thought very clearly that his son died, that is, he lost a son, and according to Changrong's nature, he would definitely not ignore their family. If Ning Changrong disappeared, then their group would definitely have nowhere to go.

Ning Husheng turned serious and said, "Father, don't worry, before my son falls down, Brother Changrong will never be hurt."
