After dinner.

After comforting Zhou Xiaomi, who was holding on to him, he rode towards Old Qin's house.

Yang Yuemei was used to it and didn't ask any more questions.

Although there is nothing for him to appraise recently, the old man worked hard before and brought something to reward him when he came back.

When we arrived at the place, it was Aunt Hua who opened the door, but she looked as haggard as she could and her whole body was a bit limp.

Zhou Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

The other party smiled at him and then turned around and returned to his room. At this time, there were three children and a man in the room.

When they came upstairs, Qin Xiao saw him coming up and immediately ran out of his room, "Brother Xiaochuan, when did you come back."

"Oh, I came back last night. This is something for you." After saying that, he handed the velvet flower in his hand to Qin Xiao.

The other party took it in surprise, then his face turned red and he said softly: "Thank you."

"cough…"

Old Man Qin on the other side couldn't stand it anymore and coughed lightly.

Zhou Xiaochuan saw the other party's teasing smile and said, "Hey, old man, your throat feels uncomfortable?"

But then he stopped smiling because he felt that neither Qin Xiao nor the old man looked very good.

Old Qin glanced at him angrily, "Do you still want to come and take a look? What did you bring?"

After speaking, he looked at a bag in Zhou Xiaochuan's hand.

"Old man, your nose is really sharp."

He smiled, put the bag in his hand on the table, and took out some things from it.

Ten kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of corn flour, a roast duck, a kilogram of peanuts and a bottle of Luzhou Laojiao wine.

The old man's eyes lit up when he looked at the things on the table.

Then I thought about it.

He said to Qin Xiao next to him, "Xiaoxiao, send some food to Aunt Hua and the others."

Qin Xiao heard the words and said softly, "How much will you give me?"

"Five pounds of corn flour will be given to each family."

After hearing what Old Man Qin said, she took the food bag and went to distribute the food.

Qin Xiao put two small bags of food on it and prepared to walk downstairs.

"Wait a moment!"

Qin Xiao turned to look at Old Qin suspiciously.

Old man Qin thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until Xiaochuan leaves before sending it off."

After hearing this, Qin Xiao put the things at the entrance of the stairs.

Looking at the puzzled Zhou Xiaochuan, Old Qin smiled and said, "Do you feel like I'm a good guy?"

Zhou Xiaochuan shook his head gently after hearing this.

"If you hadn't brought something today, I wouldn't have given it to them. Did you know? The food you brought today is enough for a month's worth of food downstairs."

Hearing what Old Man Qin said, he was silent for a moment.

Old Man Qin picked up the bottle of wine on the table and looked at it, "I know you can get food. If possible, send me some."

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and did not answer: "Old man, when did you start worrying about the country and the people? Let's eat first."

Then he called Qin Xiao to come over.

The whole roast duck was eaten by two people in a while. They probably hadn't eaten enough for a long time.

After he was full, Old Qin touched his belly and said, "Okay, when you come back, you won't be afraid of going hungry anymore."

Zhou Xiaochuan chuckled.

After leaving the old man's place, he went to Hu Laosan's place.

Originally, he was planning to go there in a few days because someone might be targeting him.

But after thinking about it, I decided to go there.

He rode his bike to the vicinity of Hu Laosan and stopped before he reached the place.

"Hey, is that some kind of sound?"

"..."

The person next to him held his breath and listened for a moment, and then said:

"No, I didn't hear it. Did you hear it?"

The other party saw this and listened for a while, but felt no more movement.

"Oh, I guess I heard wrong."

"I've been waiting for more than ten days, do you think I'm still here?"

"I don't know. If you can't wait for ten days, just wait for another ten days."

"Come early, I can't stand feeding mosquitoes here every day."

…

I got so many jade stones last time, and my thoughts have now reached a distance of 50 meters.

In this dark night, this distance can completely guarantee safety.

From what Zhou Xiaochuan could sense, there were quite a few people nearby, basically in groups of three.

But he didn't go back. If he could still be discovered despite taking precautions, it would be really useless.

Carefully avoiding the crowds everywhere, he rushed towards Hu Laosan.

"Damn, you are making such a big move just to catch me. Are you not afraid that you are just a white glove like Hu Laosan?"

Because after walking less than 500 meters, he actually discovered more than a hundred people. As for other places that were not within the range of his perception, there should be people. Gu

There are also many people from the woods who have been trading before.

I cautiously groped around Hu Laosan's yard. Fortunately, there was no one next to the yard, but there were still people in the grass not far away.

There was no one else in the yard, Hu Laosan was in his room, and the two Pan brothers were sleeping in another room.

After walking around for a while, I came to the back corner. There was a window right next to Hu Laosan's bed.

He hesitated for a moment, then knocked lightly on the window, the sound was inaudible. Then he stuffed a piece of letter paper inside.

Although the knocking sound was very small, Hu Laosan, who was lying on the bed and not asleep, heard the sound immediately. He sat up suddenly and listened carefully.

It was indeed a knocking on the window.

"who?"

But at this time Zhou Xiaochuan heard the other party's voice and just left in a hurry.

"Did I hear wrongly?"

Hu Laosan didn't feel any movement from the outside world, so he hesitated and turned on the light in the room.

"This is…"

Hu Laosan's house was originally next to the window, and a piece of white paper was stuffed into the gap in the window and you could see it at a glance.

He took the letter over and looked at it, and his expression changed.

Then he hesitated and woke up the two Pan brothers.

"Third brother, what's wrong?"

Hu Laosan said calmly: "Driving out, I have something to do."

The two of them whispered softly when they heard the words, and then followed him out of the yard.

The people who were watching outside looked at the car going out and immediately became energetic.

However, it didn't take long before I felt something was wrong, because Lao Hu drove the car without stopping at the grove, and drove directly into the distance.

The leaders looked at each other.

"what to do?"

"What can I do? Can you catch up? Notify the superiors immediately."

Hu Laosan drove to a place according to the instructions in the letter and waited there for more than an hour. Then he drove to another place.

At this time, Zhou Xiaochuan rode his bicycle to his destination.

The old site of the textile factory. This is the former textile factory building. It was later relocated and left a vacant factory building.

And there are no residents nearby anymore.
