Chapter 962 Buying Grain at Night
Bai Song and Yan Xu were unaware of the four people's thoughts, and saw them all refuse in unison.
I have this inexplicable feeling that I've done something wrong.
Yan Xu touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and drove away from the courtyard.
The two stayed until the afternoon before returning.
Fortunately, they remembered their important business of buying grain that evening and did not drink at Jufangzhai.
Moreover, they also packed a lot of food to take back with them.
As soon as the two parked the carriage in the courtyard, many people rushed over, drawn by the smell.
Yan Xu managed to squeeze out with only a food box; the rest of the food was snatched up by his men.
Seeing the soldiers' happy expressions, Yan Xu also smiled, a rare occurrence for him.
Bai Song straightened his clothes, which had been jostled, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's go and deliver some good food to Brother Lu and Uncle Zhuang!"
Yan Xu agreed, and the two went inside.
Inside the house, Old Man Zhuang was delighted to learn that the two had brought food from Jufangzhai.
This old man was originally a meat lover, but unfortunately, circumstances didn't allow it.
I haven't had a proper meat meal in a while, and I'm really craving it.
Seeing that the food box was filled with layers of meat and vegetables, he was so happy that his teeth were showing!
Lu Qingqing, Qin Lang, and Sun Yue also smelled the aroma of meat and went over to join them.
Immediately, disregarding the fact that they had only eaten lunch a little over an hour ago, the four of them picked up their chopsticks and ate another meal.
Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Bai Song was also very happy.
He and Yan Xu had been eating at their place for free before, and now it was their turn to repay them.
Moreover, Brother Lu and his group still need to go out to buy grain tonight; they have over two thousand catties of their own grain inside.
Putting everything else aside, this involved a huge risk.
If it weren't for Brother Lu and Brother Qin saying that having too many people would be too conspicuous, he would have insisted on sending people over to help.
Time quickly passed and evening arrived. Lu Qingqing watched as darkness fell outside.
Seeing that it was almost time, I went out.
The four had just left in their carriage when Bai Song also went out with his men.
The remaining people closed the courtyard gate and waited anxiously.
Lu Qingqing and her three companions drove the carriage through the bumpy road.
Four carriages lined up and headed towards the western part of the city, where they had arranged to meet Wang Daniu.
In the pitch-black night, only the clattering sound of four horse-drawn carriages could be heard.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang had walked this road many times and were already familiar with it.
Lu Qingqing, who was at the front, deliberately avoided the larger potholes and led the carriages behind her.
Qin Lang, who was at the very back, kept glancing behind him to make sure no one was following him.
Caught in the middle, Old Man Zhuang and Sun Yue were traveling through the city at night for the first time.
Looking at the houses on both sides of the road, I always feel like someone might be hiding nearby.
For safety's sake, none of the four spoke.
This situation made the two of them even more nervous and afraid.
But at this point, there's no way to back down.
The two had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue on their way.
In their extreme fear, the two had no time to pay attention to the road conditions.
They simply followed Lu Qingqing's carriage ahead, turning left and right along the way, and after an unknown amount of time, they finally stopped.
When Lu Qingqing stopped at the place she had agreed upon with Wang Daniu, she looked at the long alleyway on her right.
The alley was so dark that even the moonlight couldn't penetrate it.
But she knew there were people inside.
After the carriage stopped for a few moments, several people emerged from behind the house on the left.
"Hero, it's me, Wang Daniu!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Qingqing turned her head to look.
Wang Daniu led the brothers he had robbed that night and ran over.
They didn't stop until they reached the carriage.
