The food in the cave soon filled half of the cave, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.

Jiabao'er nodded and said to the village chief: "We have saved enough food, it's time to save medicinal materials."

The village chief wanted to ask but did not dare to ask. Did the old man in the dream say what he wanted to do with so much food and medicinal materials?

In several villages they had to pass before returning to the village, they had already noticed the convoys delivering food.

What if I follow the traces and find it?

In the blink of an eye, he saw the wild wolf in the cave, and his heart returned to his stomach.

Buying medicinal materials costs too much money. Fortunately, there are enough jade stones on Yushan Mountain. Even the fallen ones are not picked up and sold out. Even if the money flows out like running water, the village chief is not so distressed that he can't sleep.

People in the village go to work in the fields every day, including the village chief and Lao Hu, who often take Ximuluoyi Jiabao'er out.

Every time he goes out, he brings back many things for everyone to share, from salt to cloth, as well as brown sugar and grain.

The village chief said that they went out to look for work and carried Jiabao on their backs. Everyone in the village knew without explanation that Cui and Chen Hao had no time to look after their children. Jiabao lived in the village chief's house and had the status of his own granddaughter. Carrying Jiabao on his back

She went out to look after the children.

And it was this baby in everyone's eyes who broke the village chief's cognition time and time again and brought piles of food, cloth, and medicinal materials back to the cave. The cave was almost full.

But she said that she could find another cave and continue to store her things.

The village chief couldn't sit still, "Do you still want to save?"

Jiabao'er nodded, "Save it."

Master said, the battle front is very long and countless villages will suffer.

No matter how much you save, it may not be enough.

The village chief gritted his teeth and said, "Then save it, Xi'er, you and Master Luo will carry out some more jade and sell it."

Sun Xi clicked her tongue.

Jewelry shops in the county have already set their sights on these jade stones. They said they had never heard of jade mines nearby and asked several times where they got them.

In order to be safe, Sun Xi ordered his secret guards to carry the jade to farther places to sell it. The price was higher, and the supply exceeded demand.

He didn't tell the village chief this.

Instead, he stared at the mountain-like pile of things and began to think.

Will such a big deal alarm the government?

The town to which Kanghe Village belongs is called Shanhe Town. Shanhe Town is located on the border and has barren land, making it a notoriously poor and remote place.

When it was originally transferred to Ping'an County, it was said that Magistrate Liu was very reluctant.

If the state government hadn't reduced local taxes by half, Shanhe Town would really have become a despised child, refusing to be accepted anywhere.

But now, in Ping'an County Government Office, Magistrate Liu stared at the thing in his hand in a daze.

"Are you sure this is from Shanhe Town?" Magistrate Liu asked Master.

The master quickly handed over his hand: "It's absolutely true. In order to be on the safe side, I ordered the jewelry shop to keep an eye on these people and notify my subordinates as soon as they arrived. I led someone to follow them and found that they were buying jade after they had finished selling it.

All grains, whether brown rice or coarse grains, were collected. The subordinates sent people to follow them and found that they were going to the most remote Kangshan Village. Everyone knew how poor that place was. How could they get so much money? Otherwise, where would they have come from?

Come with so much jade in exchange for food?"

hiss.

Magistrate Liu's heart was in his throat.

What do these people want to do?

Not long ago, a group of craftsmen were arrested in the county next door. They were also hiding in mountain villages and going out to purchase goods in the name of the villagers.

After he was caught, he was implicated in a wide range of things, and even the county magistrate was imprisoned.

It had only been less than a month, and something so strange happened under his nose, so he had to be extremely vigilant.

"Since then, my subordinates have never seen them selling jade, but the people in the grain store said that they still buy grain, and they also asked the grain store to help purchase grain from other prefectures, and the deposit was sufficient."

After the master finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at County Magistrate Liu, "All these things have made my subordinates suspicious. Report it to the master quickly. If there is something, we won't have no defense at all."

"You did the right thing," County Magistrate Liu praised with admiration: "In troubled times, it is right to be more vigilant. A big thing happened next door just because of loose ends, and we can't follow in their footsteps. In this way, you send people to Kangshan Village and Kanghe Village.

Take a look, and if you find anything wrong, don’t make it public. We’ll figure out countermeasures when you get back.”

"Yes." Master responded and exited.

Kanghe Village.

Jiabaoer and the village chief sat in the yard, eating the snacks brought back by Sun Xi, and listening to Lao Hu calculate how much he had saved in total.

Although they didn't know it, they were shocked by this calculation. Unknowingly, they spent more than three thousand taels of silver.

Everyone looked at Jiabao'er in shock, which made her feel scared, "What's wrong, grandpa? Is there something wrong?"

The little guy speaks more and more clearly and fluently, just like a little adult.

The village chief swallowed hard and said, "Everything is correct. It's just that I spent too much money and scared grandpa."

When Jiabao'er heard this, she jumped down from the chair, ran to the village chief on her short legs, stretched out her short arms to hug him and said, "Grandpa, don't be afraid. Jiabao'er earns a lot."

Give all the money to grandpa."

If you spend more, you won't be frightened by a mere three thousand taels.

Ouch, the village chief was so moved that he almost shed tears.

I also tolerated the questions I was going to ask.

No matter what she was bought for? As long as Jiabaoer asked him to do it, he would do it.

Garbo's dream has never come true. He believes that there must be some opportunity for Garbo to do this, so he just needs to wait patiently.

Sun Xi took out two banknotes and handed them to the village chief: "Grandpa, this is the money I used to sell jade in the state capital this time. The price offered by the state capital was high, and I sold it at a good price. It happened to be the same as the grain store.

The appointed day is coming soon, so we don’t have to worry about money to collect food."

Jiabaoer looked at the two pieces of paper. She didn't know the characters and didn't know how many taels they were.

Those who don't understand are given to the village chief, she is only responsible for eating them.

After swallowing the snack in one gulp, Jiabaoer stretched out her fat little hand and said to Sun Xi in a sweet voice: "I saw you selling candies, take them out."

Sun Xi put her hand back and said, "I won't give it to you. If you eat it again, you will turn into a pig."

Jiabao'er's eyes were filled with tears instantly, and she was about to cry as soon as her mouth shrank, "Grandpa, Brother Xi said that I am a pig."

Sun Xi:I...

The little wolf who had been lying at Jiabao'er's feet raised his head and bared his teeth at Sun Xi, looking fierce and fierce, making everyone laugh.

At this moment, the little wolf's ears suddenly became ridged and turned left and right.

Just when everyone thought it was being funny, it suddenly stood up and howled at the starling in the sky.

The expression on Jiabao'er's face instantly became serious.

The little wolf said to the starling: It smells like a stranger, coming with the wind from the other side of the mountain.
