The warehouse is very large, divided into many rooms, most of them are placed with grain, the pattern is very good, very dry, the walls are built with good green bricks, there are no gaps, and after repeated polishing, it looks very smooth, moisture-proof and rat-proof.

The small rooms were filled with fine grain, but they were blocked by locked, heavy doors, and the large rooms outside were coarse grain, packed in burlap bags, and placed on long wooden boards cushioned with bricks, which were very neat.

The outside room is close to the gate, and the moonlight comes in, so you can see the situation a little.

Li Wuchang picked up a sack of coarse grain, weighed it a little, and found that a bag of grain was about sixty catties.

"Come, you carry this bag, I'll take the other one. Li Wuchang carefully placed the bag of grain in his hand on the half-grown child, and then let go of his hand.

Thump!

The young man leaned forward and fell to his knees, but fortunately, Li Wuchang was quick and dragged the bag of grain, so that there was no injury.

Alas, although this young man is not big, he is also fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is quite tall, and on the surface it should not be a big problem to carry about sixty pounds of grain, but at the moment his legs and feet are weak, he grew up in the countryside, and he has not done rough work, he should be hungry, resulting in no strength.

"I ...... I'll try again. After the young man said weakly, he took the grain from Li Wuchang's hand, but unfortunately after working hard for a long time, his face was red, he just couldn't carry the grain, and looking at his expression, he was very eager to move the bag of grain.

Alas, how to move?

The outside door is locked, and he has to climb over the wall, how can he climb through it with a bag of grain.

Li Wuchang shook his head helplessly, and whispered: "I'll come, you watch in front, let's go out together." ”

As he spoke, he easily threw two bags of grain on his shoulders and motioned for the young man to run away together.

The young man was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Wuchang carrying the two bags of grain so easily, but finally realized that the two were just thieves, and hurriedly left the warehouse first.

After coming out, the young man carefully supported Li Wuchang again, for fear that he would fall.

The two came to the corner again, Li Wuchang used a little force to throw the grain over the low wall, and then grabbed the young man's hand, and jumped to the thick wall.

The young man was completely stunned, his heart was also a thief, but the young brother in front of him was much more powerful than himself, not to mention his strength, and he jumped very high.

Li Wuchang had no time to take care of the young man's thoughts, and by the moonlight, he looked in all directions.

It's a rough scene.

The Zhuangzhu's Mansion is on higher ground, surrounded by a large area of flat land, with hard geology, a field below, a mountain forest not far from the right, and a mountain on the left and in front, but they are far away.

"Where is your home? I'll send you back. After Li Wuchang jumped off the fence with the young man, he asked where the young man lived, and helped people to the end, with this thin young man, he would definitely not be able to carry a bag of grain home.

The young man didn't know why Li Wuchang was so good to him, but listening to Li Wuchang's tone was very gentle, he judged in his heart that Li Wuchang must be a good person, and pointed to the mountain on the right at the moment, and said weakly: "It's on that mountainside...... This brother, what's your name, my name is ...... My name is Dog Leftover. ”

Dog leftovers?

Nima, that's too tall a name.

Of course, Li Wuchang knew that this was a nickname, and most people would take a nickname, and they would call it cheaply, because it was so easy to feed, but when he heard the legendary name such as the dog leftover, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, of course, he didn't show it on the surface, but replied with a smile: "My name is Li Si...... Let's go, I'll send you back, and it won't be good if someone finds out later. ”

This young man lives on the mountainside on the right, and it seems that he is the son of the Zhuang family of Ding Mao Bingzhuang, help him, by the way, take advantage of the night, and look at the terrain casually, Hengzhi can't sleep now.

The owner's mansion is not far away, less than three miles, and with Li Wuchang's skills, even if he carries two bags of grain, it doesn't take much effort to climb halfway up the mountain.

In front of it is the dog's leftover home.

Li Wuchang put the grain on the ground, smiled at the dog leftovers, and said, "Okay, I'm going back, you ask your family to carry the grain in, I won't go to your house." ”

Then he turned and prepared to leave.

"Fourth Brother Li, you ...... Don't you want food?" Seeing that Li Wuchang had put down the two bags, obviously all for himself, the dog leftovers couldn't help but ask.

"I'll just steal a bag again, but you're so thin, if you go again, you must be careful, don't be caught by the new owner, it's not good to be beaten, I've heard, the new owner is a rich kid in Chang'an City, and his temper shouldn't be very good." Li Wuchang admonished.

"I don't want to go either, my father told me to be a man to have backbone, but I have no food at home, my father's legs and feet are inconvenient, my mother's health is not good, the grain has not yet reached the harvest season, and this year's season is not good, it is estimated that the harvest will not be very good, I have not eaten several meals, only ate some wild vegetables. "The dog leftover is a little embarrassed.

"Is this like this in the Zhuangzi?" Li Wuchang frowned.

"Isn't Brother Li from Zhuangzi?" asked Gou Yuzi rhetorically.

"Oh, I'm also from Zhuangzi, but I usually go up to the mountains to hunt, and I don't deal much with everyone. Li Wuchang casually covered up.

When the dog leftover heard this, he muttered first: "No wonder I haven't seen Brother Li, I've seen almost all the guys in Zhuangzi." ”

Then replied to Li Wuchang's question: "This time of year is the most difficult, every household is almost the same, if the adults in the family are not injured, they can still go to Nanshan to hunt prey or something, other people's families can only boil wild vegetable soup, those eunuchs are not good people, they know that there is no harvest in Zhuangzi, and they still take thugs to ask us for money all day long, they only know how to bully us, and the bandits will run away when they come, hum...... I hope this new owner is a good person and won't bully everyone. ”

Li Wuchang sighed with emotion when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to comfort: "Don't worry, just get through it, you go back first and ask your father to help you carry food, and I'll go back and steal another bag to go home." ”

With that, he left directly.

Listening to the dog's complaint, Li Wuchang's heart became very complicated, and finally there was a burst of sadness.

Grandma is a bear, what's going on lately, how did you become so sentimental?

That's not a good thing!

"Brother Li, be careful, thank you Brother Li today. ”

There was the cry of a dog leftover from behind.

Li Wuchang did not leave, and after turning a corner, he jumped onto a big tree and carefully stared at the place where the two broke up.

Not long after the dog left, he brought a middle-aged man, who walked with a limp, and it seemed that this was the legendary wounded soldier.

"You dog baby, where did you steal these things?" the middle-aged man was very angry, loudly reprimanded the dog leftover, and raised his hand to beat the dog leftover.

The dog leftover was very scared, and said tremblingly: "Dad, I see that there is no food at home, and my mother is also sick, so I ...... So I went to the owner's house and stole two bags of grain, and you can beat me, just don't be angry. ”

The middle-aged man listened to the words of the dog's leftovers, raised his hand and put it down again, and said fiercely: "How do I usually teach you, how can you do such a thing...... If you get caught, it's not a joke, where do you want my old face to go?"

After a pause, he took a closer look at the two bags on the ground, and wondered: "What's the matter, just because you're a kid, can you carry such two big bags of grain?"

Gou Yuzi raised his hand and said: "It's a big brother named Li Si to help me, he is also a person in the Zhuangzi, I heard him say that he has no food at home, so he has the courage to go to the owner's house to steal food, the two of us just bumped into each other, he helped me, and he helped me carry these two bags of grain back." ”

The middle-aged man muttered: "Li Si, we don't have many Zhuangzi surnamed Li, there is a family on the Xishankouzi side, I remember that he has no son?"

Gou Yuzi said: "He said that he often goes into the mountains to hunt, so he rarely deals with everyone, and he has a lot of strength." ”

The middle-aged man no longer studied in detail, and instructed: "You are not allowed to do this kind of thing in the future, otherwise I will break your leg, and I will have no backbone at all. ”

After a pause, he said, "Carry the grain and put it on my shoulder, and let's go home." ”

Seeing that his father didn't care, the dog leftover was very happy, and hurriedly put two bags of grain on his father's shoulders with the strength of milk, and then followed his father home.

Li Wuxian saw the two figures disappearing, jumped down from the tree, and smiled bitterly.

Nima's, it seems to be a very difficult errand.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun arrived later, they all followed quietly, seeing that Li Wuchang was full of worries, they didn't speak, and they also roughly understood what happened.

From this father and son, we can see the general situation of Zhuangzi.

Li Wuchang thought for a long time, and then said: "Brother Xun, Minglun, get ready, let's start with this Zhuangzi and do something real." ”

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun saw that Li Wuchang's expression was extremely serious, and they both nodded yes.

To be honest, being able to do something in a down-to-earth manner is exactly what they want.

Zhao Xun said: "At present, Zhuangzi has two things that are top priorities, one is the problem of eating, the grain has not yet reached the harvest season, and most of the Zhuangzi households have no grain in stock. Second, there are problems in most places in Yongzhou, that is, banditry, our Zhuangzi is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one of which is still the Nanshan where bandits are full of gangsters, although Zhuangzi is barren, bandits will not invade in a big way, but small-scale bandit teams should often come to make trouble, and the villagers live very scattered, and this problem will be very tricky to solve. ”

Jiang Minglun nodded in agreement.

If the bandits are gathered together, it will not be so troublesome, just find an opportunity to kill all the bandits in this area, like the current situation, it will indeed be a headache.

The enemy is dark and we are clear, the place is large, the terrain is complex, and it is easy to hide.

Li Wuchang said: "The two points mentioned by Brother Xun are indeed problems that need to be solved urgently, but I have to add two points, that is, trust and confidence, I want the dealers to trust me, believe that I will cover them, so as to unite and build confidence in the future, I believe that the future will only get better and better." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Starting tomorrow, you will take people down to understand the specific situation, explain it, you must pay attention to your attitude, it is best to go to every household, bring some small gifts or something, I will also make a secret visit, and after understanding the situation, we will discuss countermeasures together, and I will not show up in public until I have a specific method." ”
