Chapter 369 Trouble
Return to the store.
Xu Wenyan put the red and blue-black fabrics in the store first. In the next two days, Xu Wenyan would draw a rough sketch and then consult some famous embroiderers in the county.
Xu Wenyan was still confident in Wang Cuijuan's craftsmanship.
After packing the cloth, the three of them prepared to go back.
I have to attend Madam Wei’s birthday party the day after tomorrow. Xu Wenyan really doesn’t like having contact with such a big family.
But this is also impossible. When doing business, you rely on your connections.
Xu Wenyan has not been in any trouble since he opened the shop. One reason is that he has close ties with the Wei family, and Mrs. Wen is a long-term VIP guest of his.
It can be said that in Feng County, no one dares to provoke the Wei family.
Another point is the Zhang family. All the famous restaurants and families in the county know that Xu Wenyan also has some relationship with the Zhang family.
Along the way, Xu Wenyan was thinking about what birthday gift would be best.
..........
In Jixiang Village.
Chen Xingjie came to Chen Sanlin's house and learned from Xiaoman that they were not at home.
"Then Xiaoman, please do me a favor."
Seeing Chen Xingjie so anxious, Xiaoman asked, "What's the matter?"
"Old Zhao's wife is about to give birth. He is working today. You have a mule cart at home. You can pull it back for him." Chen Xingjie hesitated and said, "But since they have a large family, I think you may have to walk back."
Xiaoman nodded: "It's okay, I won't be gone for long."
After saying that, Xiaoman drove the mule cart towards Xujia Village.
The livestock in the house are very smart. After walking on the road many times, they can recognize the road even without human guidance.
When they got there, Xiaoman shouted, "Brother Zhao, my sister-in-law is about to give birth."
After Xiaoman finished speaking, the men from Jixiang Village passed the message over one by one. In less than half a minute, three men ran out from the crowd.
"Xiao Man, how is my wife?"
Xiaoman got off the car and said, "It's okay. The village chief notified you early. You can get on the car. It's okay for the mule to run for a while."
"Thank you, thank you." Old Zhao shook Xiaoman's hand, and the whole family hurried home.
This mule cart can't run if there are too many people on it. In fact, people run faster than it, but their endurance is not as good as that of mules.
It was okay to be here, so Xiaoman looked around. This road had been under construction for more than a month, almost two months.
There is strength in numbers. This has always been the case in every dynasty. No matter how large the project is, it can be completed as long as there are enough manpower.
The further you go, the fewer people there are.
Because most people are dealing with the big potholes in the middle section of the road.
It took three or four days to fill this pit, and only a small half of it was filled.
This was how roads were built in ancient times. Some places took a long time to dig, and some places took a long time to fill.
In modern times, it is only half a day's work for an excavator.
Seeing that it was still early, Xiaoman walked forward for a while.
You can still vaguely see the route that people have taken before.
There were a few trees in front that attracted Xiaoman's attention, and he moved forward through the weeds.
Xiaoman was wearing a black dress today, which wrapped her up quite tightly.
When we got closer, we saw two tall soapberry trees. The soapberries on the trees were already ripe and some had fallen to the ground.
Xiaoman remembered that Xu Wenyan had asked him for soapberries before.
The soap used for bathing was made by Xu Wenyan using soapberry. In the past, when he was in the state, Xiaoman had also used soapberry, but the effect was not as good as the soap made with soapberry.
Xiaoman looked back and compared carefully. The two big trees, Haozi and Haozi, were not on the main road. He went back and told Chen Xingjie to ask the villagers not to move the two trees.
Looking at the dense forest ahead, Xiaoman continued walking forward for a while, thinking that there might be more nearby, so he tried to look for them as much as possible.
Xu Wenyan knows a lot of strange things, so maybe he can find other good things.
Xiaoman picked up a stick and swung it to push the weeds in front of him aside.
After searching for a while, I actually found two soapberry trees, but these two were smaller than the ones I found before.
Just as he was about to leave, Xiaoman heard a slight noise in the grass.
That sound sounded like it could only be made by some small or medium-sized animal. Xiaoman changed to a thicker wooden stick and walked forward, using it to peel away the grass.
In just a moment, a cold light stabbed towards Xiaoman.
Xiaoman reacted quickly, swinging the stick and hitting forward.
"Uh-"
A shouting sound came from the front, and Xiaoman realized that it was a person covered in blood.
Xiaoman's attack just now hit the person's arm.
The dagger was knocked to the ground.
Xiaoman quickly picked up the dagger and looked at the person in front of him.
The person on the ground squinted his eyes and must have been a little unconscious, after all, he was bleeding so much.
The man was only wearing a middle-length shirt, with his hair loose, and there was a mole under his right lip.
"Wei Ren?"
When I was serving in the army under Wang Zeren, I heard Wang Zeren talking about him. The incident in Guihua Village was indeed his dereliction of duty.
In Wang Zeren's words, he is cruel, brutal, has great ambitions, and is also a playboy.
Wei Ren shook his head and carefully identified the person in front of him. He was not a bandit and looked somewhat familiar.
"Ahem... Hey, kid." Wei Ren stood up unsteadily and leaned against a tree: "Take me out."
Xiaoman looked at him expressionlessly.
Seeing Xiaoman was about to leave, Wei Ren also panicked: "I asked you to take me out, cough cough... Don't you understand?"
Xiaoman had no intention of stopping.
Wei Ren was also panicked. He was not afraid of death, but if he fell into the hands of the bandits, not only would he not have a good end, but his family would also be implicated.
"Damn it, I told you to stop! Take me away... or kill me."
Xiaoman threw the dagger to him.
"Please."
"Fuck, hahaha, I really met a tough guy." Wei Ren barely supported himself and moved forward a few centimeters and picked up the dagger.
"Boy, take me with you. I will reward you handsomely when we get out... Ahem, please."
Xiaoman chuckled: "Isn't this speaking human language?"
To be honest, Xiaoman was also afraid that this guy would die here. The Wei family only has this man, and he will be the one to inherit the family business in the future.
If he died here, the new commander Zhaoxin would probably cause quite a stir here.
What if I were discovered by someone with ulterior motives?
The trouble is big.
