Chapter 204: Gratitude (first update)

Manager Liu finished his words with a stuttering and trembling voice.

The boss promised that this information must not be leaked, but if he didn't leak it, he felt that he would die.

 Even if he wants to make money, he must first have a life.

This girl, for some reason, those eyes made him instinctively feel fear, as if she had been killed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

 He did not dare to look into this girl's eyes.

 He works for his employer, has come into contact with a lot of people of all kinds, and has some judgment of his own.

 Having these judgments, he can also seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

 So he realized that this girl must not be messed with.

When Manager Liu said these words, the expressions of everyone present in the village changed instantly.

 Many people were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

 “What? That’s why!”

 “They are so cruel, but fortunately they haven’t sold the grain yet.”

“The price of food has doubled? Is this... a war?”

“Thanks to Shuyun and Zhiluo, otherwise we wouldn’t know this.” Shuyun is Mrs. Cui’s name.

“Yes, thanks to Sister Cui for reminding us just now.”

“If Zhiluo hadn’t been so powerful, no one in the village would have known the news.”

The people in the village were really shocked and frightened when they heard these words.

They are all a little scared. If they sell the food, they will not be able to eat enough for the war outside. They may not be able to buy food with money, not to mention that food is so expensive.

 There was an old lady who was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.

"There is a war, what should we do? What should we do if the war reaches our side of Beizhou? The wheat harvest will be in more than two months. Can we still harvest wheat?"

"how so?"

 “If I had known earlier, I would have saved more food last year!”

 “You can’t sell the grain anymore.”

Everyone's face turned pale, they were in a panic, and they didn't know what to do.

Everyone knows how scary war is, and you can die if you are not careful.

There was also a stooped aunt in the village who cried: "I just sold fifty catties of grain. I sold fifty catties of grain. What should I do? Can I still get it back?"

Someone sighed and said, "She is also selling food in a hurry to raise money for a betrothal gift for her son to marry."

"How can I care about these things at this time? Only by keeping food in hand can I be safe."

Jiang Zhiluo looked at the aunt and knew that her family was in very poor conditions.

She glanced at Manager Liu and said, "You know what to do, right?"

Manager Liu nodded hurriedly, "I know... I know."

 He is a smart man, he knows what to do, "They can, they can get the food back."

Upon hearing this, the grain sellers breathed a sigh of relief, gave the copper coins they had collected to Manager Liu, and took their grain back.

Then Manager Liu was wondering if this would be all right.

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Manager Liu, raised a strange arc at the corner of her mouth, stood up and left.

The manager Liu felt that nothing happened, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly led the people and carriage away in despair.

 At this time, people in the village rushed up to thank Jiang Zhiluo.

“Zhiluo, I really want to thank you very much.”

“Yes, yes, Zhiluo, it’s really thanks to you this time. If it weren’t for you, everyone wouldn’t know what to do, and they wouldn’t know the news at all.”

“Zhi Luo, my aunt won’t obey anyone, so I will obey you. I will believe what you say from now on.”

“Zhiluo, everyone doesn’t know how to thank you.” Everyone gathered around Jiang Zhiluo, wishing they could hold her hand and thank you.

 Look at the look in her eyes, that gratitude.

Of course, everyone just thanked Mrs. Cui, who is also Yang Shuyun.

Jiang Zhiluo was a little uncomfortable facing such a scene.

“By the way, Zhiluo, what do you think everyone should do? Do we need to prepare anything? Do we still need to run, or can we hide in the mountains? But there are wild beasts in the mountains..."

“That’s right, Zhi Luo, I believe you. I think you are great. Can you tell us what we should do?”

Everyone is now looking at Jiang Zhiluo with trusting eyes.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Don't panic too much. It's hard to say whether the war outside will reach Beizhou, but it's time to stock up on food. It's best to prepare some salt..."

 She told everyone some things that needed to be prepared.

 Everyone nodded seriously and remembered.

As if thinking of something, Jiang Zhiluo said: "By the way, the locust trees are in bloom. You can pick the locust tree flowers to make buns and make dumplings. You can also make locust flower eggs and cold locust flowers. You can cook them all."

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, go pick the locust flowers and eat them with cornbread and locust flower buns when you get back. Make more and you can eat them for a long time."

“Zhiluo, thank you, aunt. Thank you.”

An aunt who had just gotten the food back held Jiang Zhiluo's hand, her eyes were red, and she didn't know what to say to thank her.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Auntie, it's okay. I just didn't scare you."

"How could that happen? You are helping us. How can we not know the good news?"

“You are as good as your father. I heard that those people in Xingshan Village were able to settle down safely all the way to Xingshan Village thanks to your father’s leadership.”

 It is not surprising to everyone that Jiang Zhiluo knows some Kung Fu, and everyone also knows that Jiang Xiangchuan knows Kung Fu.

It's okay for a daughter to learn some self-protection skills from her father.

 Besides, if you can learn some skills these days, it’s just a matter of ability.

 Looking at everyone's reactions, Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, she wasn't afraid of everyone being afraid. Once fighting broke out outside, Jiang Zhiluo thought she would use her skills to make everyone afraid.

Unexpectedly, the reaction of the villagers was different from what she imagined.

Seeing everyone sincerely thanking her and looking at their expressions, Jiang Zhiluo was slightly touched in her heart.

Mrs. Cui wanted to pay attention to Jiang Zhiluo, but she was blocked by the villagers. Everyone surrounded Jiang Zhiluo and talked in a hurry.

Mrs. Cui felt like everyone was competing with her for Zhiluo. She felt a little sour in her heart, but she was also happy.

Everyone likes Zhiluo, and she is proud and happy.

After everyone was sent back, when Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui were walking home, Mrs. Cui said: "Zhiluo, are you really okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Mom, I'm fine. Wasn't it a little rough just now?"

"Who dares to say that you are rude? You are protecting my mother, and my mother is happy."

 Not only was I happy, but I was also moved, and it felt very heartwarming.

 Even her daughter has never been so considerate.

Mrs. Cui took Jiang Zhiluo's hand, and the two of them went home affectionately.

“By the way, do you want to tell your parents about this again?”

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Let's go after lunch. I told them before that they should have stocked up some food. My father will definitely tell the villagers not to let them sell food."

Jiang Zhiluo also went to her parents' house to talk to her parents after buying food before.

Her parents naturally believed what she said. The reason why she didn't tell the villagers before was that they might not believe her if she told her.

 And it doesn’t necessarily mean that a war will start. It’s not good to make people panic.

It would be bad if Beizhou was not affected and everyone spent money to buy things and hoard them, thinking it was useless. Then they would complain later.
