Chapter 263: Someone Is Scouting the Area?
Grandma Qin was stunned.
She immediately asked: "Grandma moved back, what will you do?"
"I live in the mountains with Wolf Wolf, it's very convenient." Shen Ningning said.
She was used to going up and down the mountain, and the Black Wolf King would pick her up and throw her on his back at any time.
Grandma was different. She was not used to riding a wolf to travel.
So, for the sake of grandma's safety, Shen Ningning suggested that she temporarily move back to the village house.
Grandma Qin was of course willing.
She liked to have someone to chat with. If she lived in the village, they would all be familiar people.
But the only thing Grandma Qin couldn't let go of was Shen Ningning.
But the little guy persuaded her again and again, and Grandma Qin couldn't help but hug the heads of Wolf Three and Wolf Four.
"If I live in the village, how can I get along with these little guys?"
Wolf Four hummed and made a coquettish sound like a puppy.
It said that Grandma didn't need to worry about it, it would run down the mountain to steal food by itself.
The Black Wolf King looked at it.
Wolf Four immediately changed his words: "Awoo~"
It meant that he would go down the mountain to visit grandma by himself.
Shen Ningning laughed sweetly and crisply: "Grandma, everyone agrees, you can move down temporarily."
"Later, I'll ask my brother to bring people to help me clean the ice and snow, and when it's not so slippery, you can move back."
Grandma Qin agreed.
Shen Ningning helped Grandma Qin pack the clothes and bags she was going to wear.
There was no need to bring any food, because Jiang Zhi lived in the village house, and Shen Ningning had already filled the kitchen with food.
Just took a few more sets of thick quilts and coats.
It was not safe to send too much firewood down, so Shen Ningning planned to transport it down every three days.
Now the firewood in the village house should be enough for grandma and Jiang Zhi.
When Shen Ningning led the group of wolves and helped Grandma Qin down the mountain.
The little guy suddenly saw a sneaky figure walking around at the entrance of the village out of the corner of his eye.
She shouted, "Who are you looking for?"
The man was startled when he saw Shen Ningning and the wolf pack behind her.
He asked hesitantly, "Is Yang San here?"
Shen Ningning frowned, "Yang San? You've got the wrong one. There's no such person in Xiangyun Village."
The man waved his hand, "Then we must have gone to the wrong place."
He turned around and left in a hurry, as if he was running away.
Grandma Qin wondered, "This face is too strange."
The entrance to Xiangyun Village is relatively hidden, and because it is adjacent to Wolf Mountain, everyone knows that there are many wolves here, and strangers dare not approach at all.
Even those who come to Xiangyun Village to visit relatives have to be accompanied by relatives in Xiangyun Village before they dare to come in.
Otherwise, if they accidentally run into two wolves, they will definitely be scared to death.
Shen Ningning felt something was wrong.
That person, is he here to scout the place?
During the drought, people robbed food to save their lives.
What's more, now that her reputation is growing, Xiangyun Village has followed her and stockpiled a lot of things.
It will definitely be targeted by people with bad intentions.
Shen Ningning's eyes were clear, and she came up with an idea.
The villagers came and went, and saw Jiang Zhi helping Grandma Qin move things home.
They couldn't help but gather at the door of the village house.
"Grandma Ningning, are you going to move back to live?"
Grandma Qin sat on a round stool to rest, surrounded by wolves to block the cold wind for her.
She smiled kindly and said, "Yes, the mountain is frozen and slippery. Ningning felt sorry for me, so she let me move back to live first."
Grandma Chen was the happiest: "That's great, haven't you eaten yet? My family just prepared the meal, you can bring Ningning to my house to eat."
Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly said, "Grandma Chen, there is no room for you at your house, let's go to my house, I just stewed meat."
While Grandma Qin was chatting with the villagers with a smile, Shen Ningning told Jiang Zhi in the hut.
"Sister Jiang, are you going to report to General Chen soon?"
Last time Jiang Zhi won, General Chen asked her to recover from her injuries and then go back to the camp.
Jiang Zhi nodded: "Soon, I will have to go after resting for about half a month."
Shen Ningning calculated the time and it was just right.
For the past half month, grandma will live in the village house. With Jiang Zhi by her side, nothing will happen.
During this period, she asked her brother to find someone to remove the ice and snow.
"Sister Jiang, I'll leave grandma to you during the time she lives in the village."
"Don't worry about that. I will take care of her as if she were my own grandma."
After Shen Ningning made her plans, she saw that Grandma Qin had been taken to dinner by Grandma Chen.
They called the little guy to go with them.
However, Shen Ningning said: "Don't rush to eat. Everyone, come with me to the village chief's house. I just have something to say."
The villagers gathered at the old village chief's house.
The wolf pack waited in the yard.
"Ningning, what do you want to say by calling everyone here this time?" asked the old village chief.
Shen Ningning said: "Grandpa village chief, uncles and aunts, get ready."
"Take out one or two cotton clothes and cotton cloth, as well as some food, and go to the street to resell them."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Why, Ningning?"
"Yes, you asked us to buy before, and everyone spent so much effort to stock up a lot, why do you want to sell some again?"
"Although we have surplus now, we are afraid that it will not be enough."
Shen Ningning's face was serious.
Her eyes were dark and clear: "We must do this, otherwise, those who are desperate will come to the village to rob."
"People will fight desperately when they are forced into a desperate situation. It's not worth it for two supplies."
When the little guy said this, everyone understood instantly.
The old village chief hurriedly called everyone together: "Go back and take a look, take out one or two items, don't show off your wealth when you go out."
"If someone asks, just say that you don't have enough things at home and you are tightening your belt to make a living."
"If anyone brings trouble to the village, don't blame me for being rude!"
After the old village chief said this, the villagers went home and rummaged through their boxes and cabinets.
They had a lot of things saved. Each family found a few clothes and some rice and flour to sell for silver.
Whenever someone asked, they complained according to what Shen Ningning and the old village chief taught them.
They said that they didn't have many houses at home, and they didn't have much silver left. They had to exchange some money, otherwise they couldn't afford to buy things.
In this way, the news spread among the people.
Xiangyun Village was not as abundant in supplies as they imagined.
However, what surprised the villagers was that before the cold disaster, the mink fur that was bought for thirty taels could now be sold for three hundred taels!
There were so many people buying it that they almost broke their heads!
This time, every household turned some of their supplies into silver and put it in their hands, which made them feel more at ease.
That evening.
Uncle Deng quietly went to the city and visited Wang Qiaoer and her son in the small yard where he stored firewood.
"Here, this is a bag of silver, about fifty taels, you buy some food for Fugui." Uncle Deng handed the silver to Wang Qiaoer.
"So much silver?" Wang Qiaoer's eyes widened: "Where did you get it? Did you get rich?"
Uncle Deng said: "I sold some clothes and food a while ago. I came to help you without my father's knowledge, so you must not make a fuss. Okay, I'm leaving."
He touched Deng Fugui's head, and did not dare to stay for long. He left quietly under the night.
Wang Qiaoer stared at the bag of silver, thinking: "How can it be sold for so much money?"
