Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 256 I Explode

"A Guang, who are you talking to? Why don't you come in?"

The backyard door was pushed open, and a man who looked like a yamen runner came out and looked curiously at the two people standing outside.

Ah Guang frowned, and immediately remembered something important. He quickly greeted Gu Qinghan, "Since you know me, let's find a time to have a good chat next time."

After thinking for a while, he took out a wooden sign from his arms and threw it to Gu Qinghan, "Take this and come find me here when the time comes. See you later, kid."

Waved and turned away.

Gu Qinghan fumbled with the wooden sign in his hand and looked at the closed door with a gloomy expression.

……

On the street

The gongs and drums sounded, and a team of soldiers on horseback came. The "bang bang bang" sound echoed throughout the street. Passers-by who were still strolling on the road began to look over there. When each household heard the sound, they all came out of their homes to take a look.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Look, behind you." a woman exclaimed.

"The action is so quick this time, it really solves my worries." The vendor at a stall nearby shouted excitedly.

"boom!"

"We have caught the criminals this time. Don't worry, you can enjoy the parade in peace. The prefect said that we should let everyone enjoy the Lantern Festival in peace."

The leading officer struck a gong and explained to the crowd.

"Great, that's great!" Everyone applauded.

Xu Yuan heard the noise, looked over there and nodded with satisfaction.

Those guys who were so arrogant just now were now lying on the car behind like corpses, with their hands and feet tied up.

When did the bailiffs in this yamen become so efficient?

After this safety hazard was resolved, the passers-by who had just been scared and rushed home finally felt relieved, and passers-by on the street also started to walk around.

The deserted street now began to see passers-by one after another.

Xu Yuan sat at the table, crossing his legs and flipping through a storybook.

The guests in the back were still playing Landlord fiercely, getting louder and louder. One big man even stood up, stepped on a stool, picked up the cards in his hand and slammed them on the table, shouting excitedly, "I bomb."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"I finally won!"

There was a loud "bang" followed by screams and gasps.

Xu Yuan put down the book, put it in his arms, walked to the back, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Pay me money! Sir, you broke my table. How can I do business now? Pay me money."

"Uh..." The big man raised his hand awkwardly, touched his head, and looked a little at a loss, smiling foolishly at Xu Yuan.

The joy of winning on his face disappeared instantly.

Ruined.

It was so hard to win a game, but in the end I had to pay some more before I got the money.

Oh my, what is going on?

"Hahaha, Lao Jin, why are you so excited? Luckily I dodged quickly."

"Yeah, you, why are you so strong? You almost scared me to death just now."

There were two middle-aged men sitting nearby, one was gloating while the other had just come to his senses.

"I'm sorry, little girl." The big man didn't play dirty and quickly apologized to Xu Yuan, "If you want compensation, how much do you want?"

Looking at the table that was broken into pieces by his own slap, the big man complained inwardly.

This is too unreliable.

Xu Yuan was a little surprised to see that the big man had a righteous look on his face and had no intention of escaping, but he did not embarrass him, "Just give me eight cents."

These tables and benches were all rented from Manager Hu's storage room. They were all old and shabby things, just a piece of wood and four pillars nailed together, and were not worth much.

When the big man heard the price, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was within his affordability. He thought the girl would ask for a high price, so he generously gave her six coins and said, "Girl, you don't have to give me the two coins you just won. We are even now."

After saying that, the big man left with a look of pain on his face, and his two brothers followed him and left as well. From time to time, there were sounds of laughter.

Xu Yuan put the broken table aside and sat back in front again.

……

Hsinchu Village

It was a hazy night with only a few lights lit up here and there in the village. The doors of all the houses were closed and it was extremely quiet.

When Grandma Pan saw the wound on her old man's head, she felt very distressed. "What can I say about you? Why is your luck so bad? You were fine when you left, but why are you injured when you come back?"

"Fortunately, you have Miss Yuan to help you with the charcoal."

"Enough, enough. Look how long you've been nagging me. My ears are all callused from listening to you all the time. When I go out to do things, I can't control what happens." Grandpa Pan leaned on the kang, picking up peanuts, throwing them into his mouth one by one, and then he grabbed a handful and put them in Grandma Pan's hand.

"Old lady, have some. These are the spiced peanuts that the girl Xuyuan made. They are delicious."

"Grandpa and grandma, it's time to soak your feet." The two brothers Pan Dahai and Pan Xiaohe came in each carrying a bucket of water and placed them next to the earthen kang.

Grandpa Pan waved his hand, "Okay, leave it alone for now. The time is running out. You guys go back and rest."

"I don't know how Xuyuan is doing in the county town. She's all alone outside." Grandma Pan looked at the Chinese medicine bags soaking in the bucket and felt a little emotional.

After listening to his wife's mumbling, Grandpa Pan smiled and said, "Who said that only the wishing girl went to the county town alone?"

"Really? It's good that you're not going alone. At least you'll have someone to accompany you on the way back." When Grandma Pan heard that she was not going alone, she felt relieved. This girl Yuan was alone all year round, and except for Xiaozhi, she hadn't been close to any girl in the village, so she didn't have anyone to confide in.

This girl is a little too strong and sensible.

"Aren't you curious about who he went with?" Grandpa Pan asked back.

"Who else could he go with? He should be that girl Xiaozhi." Grandma Pan guessed.

Grandpa Pan shook his head, "No."

"If it's not that girl Xiaozhi, who else could she go with?" Grandma Pan glanced at her old man, who looked gossipy, and immediately became curious, "Who is it?"

"Tsk, who else could it be? Didn't you hear what Lao Wang said?"

"Really?" After hearing this, Grandma Pan remembered and patted the bedside with her hands, a smile broke out on her kind face.

"If it really works, Xiaoyuan will have someone to rely on, and she won't have to work so hard. It's not easy for a girl."

Grandpa Pan nodded, "But I think it's a little difficult. After all, Yuan girl doesn't need anyone to rely on her and can live well."

"It's up to them. We, the elders, can only watch."

"Ah sneeze..."

Xu Yuan, who was sitting at the stall, sneezed violently several times, untied the cloth bag, and put the hat inside on his head.

But don't catch a cold.
