The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

It was still early, so Chu Xiao did not go back directly. Instead, he went to several grain stores to inquire about the price of grain.

After the autumn harvest, farmers would pay taxes and keep enough food for their families, and the rest of the grain would be sold to grain stores. There was more than one grain store in a county, so usually before the autumn harvest, the grain store would send people to the fields to check on the crops.

After roughly estimating the harvest, they decided on the grain in advance. In order to have a good competitive environment, they allocated the land to each grain store, which would collect grain from which villages.

So when Chu Xiao came to the grain store to ask about the price of grain, the clerk had to first confirm which village the person was from. If he went to another grain store, the boss would have to argue with others and he would lose his job.

Healthy competition does have certain benefits. At least the grain prices will not be inflated, and the purchase price is a little higher than that in Anning Town.

There are only two grain stores in Anning Town, and they are said to be related by marriage. As long as the price is not outrageous, it is up to them to order more or less.

Just like these miscellaneous beans, the price in Anning Town has dropped by 30% compared with previous years. But although the price here is also low, it has only dropped by about 10%. If Chu Xiao sells all the miscellaneous beans in the space, he will definitely make a profit.

But of course he would not sell it. How could he bear to sell the cheap grain at a lower price after getting it with great difficulty?

Not only that, he also wanted to buy some food, but not too much, just one or two hundred kilograms would be enough. After all, the silver left in his space was limited, so he had to go to the capital to exchange his ten gold lumps for silver.

Chu Xiao carried two bags of grain out of the grain store, found an empty alley, packed up the things, then went out from the other side and took a detour back to the post station.

They didn't know if it was a coincidence or just a narrow road for enemies, but before they even got out of the alley, they heard a lot of dogs barking, as well as the sound of messy footsteps mixed with men's panting curses.

"Damn it, when did so many stray dogs appear in the county?"

"Run, run, stop talking nonsense." As Chu Xiao spoke, he saw seven or eight men running towards the alley.

They had no choice but to run this way, as there was a dead end ahead. But as soon as they turned around, they saw Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao blocking the way, with no intention of giving way at all.

There were people blocking the way in front and dogs chasing behind, so the men got so angry that they started fighting without saying a word.

They were all idle people in the county town. As they mixed together, they gathered together and inexplicably formed a group. They usually collected protection fees, worked as thugs to collect debts for gambling houses and money houses, and committed petty thefts when they had no work. Most of their targets were outsiders.

It doesn't matter if they are discovered. They are just ordinary people without any weapons. As long as we scare them, they will have to hand over the money obediently.

However, they were unlucky this time. Although the total amount of silver and money in Yan Zhenshen's pocket was only a little over one or two taels, Chu Xiao was a vengeful person.

If he hadn't encountered this, he would have just planned to let the man be chased by the dog, but now that he had encountered this, he could only say that these people deserved it.

After beating up these seven or eight men, Chu Xiao used no special powers or hidden weapons. He stretched his muscles and bones with every punch.

This was also the first time that Yan Zhenshen witnessed his husband's skills. Although he was not strong enough, he was more than agile. If he were a bystander, he would definitely praise his good skills.

But as a man, Yan Zhenshen couldn't suppress the smile. The man standing shoulder to shoulder with him was his husband. Even if he didn't have those mysterious supernatural powers, he was still such a powerful guy.

"Woof woof woof." Chu Xiao and Yan Zhenshen beat up the guys. The stray dogs and cats at the entrance of the alley were scared and retreated repeatedly, but they did not disperse immediately.

It was still sniffing something and staring at this side with a fierce look, as if waiting for them to relax so that it could pounce and bite them.

Chu Xiao didn't know what the purple gold vine seeds tasted like, but seeing how obsessed these wild dogs were, if he didn't take them back, these people would be torn to pieces by the wild dogs as soon as they left.

He is not the Holy Father, but he is not a person who commits murder without reason. Coming from the end of the world, what he wants most is to stay away from the blood and gore and live a peaceful and stable life.

While robbing several people's wallets, Chu Xiao also took back the seeds of the purple gold vine.

He looked down at the people huddled together and snorted, "If I see you again, I'll beat you up until your mothers can't even recognize you."

There was a stubborn guy who was a little scared after being beaten. He shrank behind others with only half of his face exposed, but he still did not forget to threaten: "You, do you know who our boss is?"

Chu Xiao smiled indifferently: "Who is it? The county magistrate, the prefect, or the emperor in Kyoto?"

As he listed the names, each one was more impressive than the last, and for a moment he actually felt that his own boss was not that important after all.

But it was just a momentary thought before he spoke again: "You, you are committing treason?"

"How am I being rebellious? The whole world belongs to the emperor, so does this place belong to the emperor? The prefect and the county magistrate are the parents of this place, so does it belong to them to maintain the stability of this place?"

Chu Xiao curled his lips and smiled: "So, who is your boss, and how dare he compete with the emperor?"

"You..." The man was unable to find any words to refute for a while. If he couldn't win in the past, he would definitely start fighting with curses.

But at this moment they were too passive. They couldn't win the fight or the scolding. They could only shut their mouths in defeat, like eggplants hit by frost, completely wilted.

"You stole my silver, and I robbed yours. I'll just pay you back. That's it. But if you dare to cause trouble again, I won't mind. To be honest, even a hundred or eighty of you can't kill me. But if I don't die, none of you can save your life."

Chu Xiao's words were purely a threat. To be honest, he was not lying. If he used his supernatural powers, a hundred or eighty ordinary people would be no problem at all.

But he still hated trouble. If someone came to cause trouble for no reason, he would feel very unhappy just thinking about it. He even had the idea of ​​killing the person to prevent future troubles.

Seeing his sudden murderous look, those people shrank even tighter, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. They regretted very much why they provoked such an evil spirit, and were very afraid that they would die here today.

"We dare not, we dare not, we won't dare to do it again." Several people begged for mercy again and again, wishing they could kneel down and kowtow to him a few times, and then swear to the sky.

"I'm back."

Chu Xiao's hand was held, and he suddenly came back to his senses, retracted his extremely cold gaze, and said with some complaints: "Brother Shen, their bones are so hard, my hand seems to be broken, it will hurt a little."

"Let me see." Yan Zhenshen quickly loosened his grip and lifted Chu Xiao's hand. He saw that there was indeed a large red area on his hand due to the force he used, but fortunately there was no broken skin and bleeding. "I'll rub it on you with medicinal wine when we get back."

The two men walked out of the alley as if nothing had happened, and were even discussing what to eat for dinner. The people who were left in the alley looked at each other, unable to cry.

They really lost both the wife and the army. Now they dare not go to the boss to complain. It is better for them to go home and recuperate for a while until these two evil spirits leave.
