At the entrance of the village, beside the two wooden carriages, there were already four young and middle-aged villagers. Xiaosi was still nowhere to be seen. These four people were the flexible juniors of the village. This time, they were going to town together.

Their main job was to drive the carriage and help them load and unload the goods. When they saw Sister Hua, they greeted her warmly. In the eyes of their peers in Trench Village, Sister Hua was considered to be the first sister, and they listened to her greeting very much.

From Mangzi Three, The reason why everyone is doing this, The sacrifice made by Village Chief Hua for the village was one of the reasons. Of course, this was only the cause. Most importantly, Sister Hua had always acted swiftly and had won the hearts of the people. Everyone respected and loved her from the bottom of their hearts, so it was not wrong for everyone to listen to her. Instead, this made the younger generation in Trench Village very united.

To put it in a nutshell, Sister Hua was born to be a leader. Everyone was happy to lead everyone to do whatever they wanted from the bottom of their hearts.

Under Sister Hua’s command, the four young men in the village hurriedly put two strong oxen on the wooden cart while the dawn was faint. The greatest coolie for this trip to Qiushui Town was these two oxen. It was impossible for a man to pull them by hand.

The four of them were all very well-mannered, and they had good jobs along the way. The two of them exchanged for each other, and the interval was one day. This way, everyone wouldn’t be too tired.

“Mangzi Three, get Xiaosi. Isn’t this guy coming today?” Sister Hua frowned and asked Mangzi Three to call Xiaosi, thinking that he had drunk too much last night.

“We’re here! We’re here!”

At this moment, Xiaosi’s voice rang out. Everyone turned around and saw that good fellow, he was running slowly out of breath. Behind him was a big cloth bag, and the sound of crashing came from his running bag.

Mangzi Three’s eyes lit up and his mouth cracked into a smile.

Sister Hua frowned and said, “Xiaosi, what did you bring?”

“Ha … good stuff, I’ll show you later. Let’s go. Yo, Sister Qing is here too? Are you coming with us?” Xiaosi smiled and greeted Sister Qing. Then, he said to Qin Feizheng, “Good morning, Brother Qin!”

Qin Fei nodded and Sister Qing giggled, saying that his father wanted him to go to town to choose books for the children.

For some reason, Qin Fei felt that Sister Qing’s gaze was often glancing at him, as if he was observing him. He didn’t care either. Perhaps he was curious. After all, he was an outsider, so it wasn’t strange for everyone to be surprised.

Hearing this, Xiaosi winked at Mangzi Three. Mangzi Three raised his chest and looked valiant, tacitly understanding each other.

The villagers hadn’t come out to give them away. This kind of thing happened once a month. Everyone was used to it. According to the custom, everyone would first incense the White Tiger Sacred Idol and pray sincerely before embarking on this expedition.

The bull pulled the wooden wheels and rolled around, leaving behind a few lines of shallow marks on the rubble. Qin Fei and Mangzi Three Xiaosi were in front, while Hua Jie Sister Qing and the others were behind. They guarded the bull cart in the middle and left the village. They walked on the not-so-spacious main road, gradually leaving the village further and further away until they no longer saw the shadow of the village and disappeared into the boundless dawn.

The first ray of sunlight appeared in the eastern sky. The red sun jumped out of the ground and began to bring light to the world. Ten miles away from Trench Village, Qiu Feng Village was brightly lit and noisy overnight. This was a village several times larger than Trench Village. The houses it had built were also more exquisite and spacious, and it could be seen that they were many times richer.

At this moment, the villagers of Qiu Feng Village were a little panicked. They squeezed together on the open space at the entrance of the village. Over a thousand people were clamoring, and more than a dozen of them had anxious expressions on their faces.

In the middle of the crowd, there was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe. His eyes were gloomy and fierce. He stared at the noisy villagers with displeasure and said in a deep voice, “Shut up! It’s been a whole day and night. Shu’er and the others have died without a corpse or a person alive. What’s the use of all of you?”

“Village Chief, we searched the mountains for so long. We searched all the places they might have been to. Nothing happened. Did they get eaten by wild beasts?” A villager said.

The malicious man was Qiu Feng Village Chief, Yang Shu’s father, Poplar.

Poplar said coldly, “Impossible! Shu’er and the others are the best hunters in the village. They know how to choose when they encounter ferocious and unstoppable wild beasts. They will not act blindly. Something must have happened!”

“Village Chief, I have news!” At this moment, a youth stood out.

“You know, say it!” Poplar’s eyes lit up, and his expression became even more sinister.

“I remember when I was playing with Brother Yang the night before yesterday, he mentioned that he found something interesting near Trench Village. He vaguely mentioned that he would be there yesterday and that he would definitely get what he wanted at that time.” Said youth.

Poplar walked up to him and said happily, “Where is Trench Village? Where exactly is it?”

“He didn’t elaborate, but he said that he wanted to play with the mandarins when the time came.” The youth tried to recall.

“Water! Very good! This is a useful clue. Everyone, search in the direction of Trench Village. If you encounter any places with water, search carefully. We must find them!” Said Poplar. The villagers quickly dispersed and left the village in groups of five. They entered the mountain and headed in the direction of Trench Village.

Soon, it was dawn, and the sound of wheels rang out on the main road. The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent mountain path.

A group of nine people was rushing along the mountain path. The cargo on the two oxcarts looked heavy, leaving four clear mud ditches on the road.

The big bag on Xiaosi’s back crashed and Mangzi Three whispered, “Xiaosi, what did you do today?”

“Hehe, we went to the old village chief’s house to get some wine!” Xiaosi said proudly.

Qin Fei glanced at him. This fellow always couldn’t forget wine. He went to steal the green fruit wine brewed by the old village chief again. He was really an unsatisfied white-eyed wolf. He was only treated to wine last night, so he wasn’t satisfied.

Mangzi Three patted the bag on Xiaosi’s back and said, “So much this time?”

“Hehe, it’s not much. It’s only about twenty kilograms, but it’s enough for us to drink on the way!” Xiaosi smiled.

Qin Fei shook his head and said, “Xiaosi, it’s wrong of you to do this. How can you take other people’s things without greeting them?”

Xiaosi laughed, “Brother Qin, we didn’t steal it this time. The old village chief told us to take it.”

“Who would believe you!” Qin Fei glanced at him.

Mangzi Three said, “Don’t worry, Brother Qin. Actually, Old Village Chief Xiaosi doesn’t object to it. He just told him to drink less. Don’t be an alcoholic at such a young age! Actually, the ingredients for Old Village Chief’s brewing were all made by Xiaosi. The Old Village Chief only used cooking skills, and now it’s 70-80% passed on to Xiaosi.”

“Then why are you still afraid that Sister Hua will tell the old village chief that you stole wine?” Qin Fei asked doubtfully.

Every time Xiaosi heard Sister Hua say that she wanted to complain, she immediately obeyed.

“Hehe, it’s all because of Sister Hua! We’re all scared when she gets angry! It’s better to follow her!” Xiaosi smiled.

Qin Fei saw that his eyes lit up every time he mentioned Sister Hua, so he couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Are you so afraid of Sister Hua? Do you have other intentions?”

Hearing that, Xiaosi’s skinny face instantly turned red. He hurriedly shook his head, “Brother Qin, don’t joke. How dare we have any other intentions? I’m just afraid that she will only do this!”

Mangzi Three smiled and said, “You brat, you’re not kind. Brother Qin, let me tell you, Xiaosi treats Sister Hua like I treat Sister Qing!”

Qin Fei instantly understood. He looked at Xiaosi nervously and asked, “Are you afraid Sister Hua will know?”

Xiaosi hurriedly nodded, “Stop, can’t we admit it? We just like Sister Hua and feel bored if we don’t talk to her for a day! Sometimes we really want to be as bold as Third Brother chasing Sister Qing, but we just see Sister Hua being cowardly.”

“What do you think I’m doing?” When Sister Hua heard everyone talking about her, she and Sister Qing walked forward and stared at Qin Fei and the others.

Xiaosi hurriedly dodged behind Mangzi Three, his face flushed red and he was very nervous, while Mangzi Three threw his eyebrows at Sister Qing. Qin Fei smiled and said, “Xiaosi said you just now!”

“Brother Qin” Xiaosi panicked and hurriedly used his eyes to stop Qin Fei, afraid that he would say it out loud.

“Xiaosi called me? You’re fat, aren’t you? What did you say about me?” Sister Hua grabbed Xiaosi’s ear and put her other hand on her waist, looking like a tiger.

“Sister Hua, please let go. We didn’t say anything!” Xiaosi panicked and begged for mercy.

Mangzi Three laughed and said happily, “Sister Hua, let me tell you, he stole Grandpa’s wine again!”
