041 The Woman Who Stole Aboard

"Where's Xu Chu?"

"I didn't see it."

"Just now I saw him pushing a cart full of rice ears away."

Xu Chu stayed and naturally had to work with everyone.

Wolong Village finally ushered in a good harvest.

It was too difficult for him to bend down with a sickle to cut the wheat.

So he was asked to be responsible for delivering the rice ears that everyone had cut back to the village.

As a result, during the lunch break, I found that the person was missing.

Zhuge Tian asked, "Did anyone follow him when he left?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Most of the people in the village are harvesting rice in the rice fields today.

Those who are responsible for delivering the rice ears are those who are strong enough.

When everyone fills up a cart, they are allowed to take it away.

So there might be a few minutes between each car.

"..." Zhuge Tian was speechless: "I guess he got lost again."

Sure enough, the people who went to look for him soon found Xu Chu pushing the cart by the river.

If he hadn't remembered that he didn't need to cross the river to return to the village, he probably wouldn't know where to go by now.

Zhuge Tian said helplessly to Wudie, who had already finished her studies with Zhuge Liang in the morning, "Follow him in the afternoon and show him the way."

"Okay!" Huang Wudie patted Xu Chu's shoulder maturely. "I'll take you this afternoon. I guarantee there will be no problem."

Xu Chu also nodded naively.

Although there were some minor incidents, the harvest was completed quickly.

Zhuge Liang stared at the account book he had kept with wide eyes.

The 2000 mu of rice fields finally yielded 20 shi of rice.

What Zhuge Tian said about the 100 dan per mu yield is true! !

Not only him, but everyone else in Wolong Village who had farmed or had some knowledge of farming was stunned.

Did they really grow this?

It is true that one acre of land can produce 100 stone of rice!

Liao Hua even lay down in the pile of rice.

"Okay, let's dry it for a few days, and then turn some of the paddy into rice and store it in the granary. This will be available for everyone to eat later."

"Some of it is packed in bags and sold."

Zhuge Tian looked at Gan Ning and said, "It's up to you."

"Don't worry!" Gan Ning nodded. "I've already had a large ship prepared on the Yangtze River. We can first break up the cargo and sail out of Xiakou using small boats, then load onto the large ship."

Jingzhou has enjoyed peace for a long time, so the price of grain is cheap.

However, there are still many wars in the north, and many forces are short of food and grass. It is naturally most cost-effective to transport these out and sell them.

But this matter cannot be made public, or to put it simply, it can only be smuggled.

Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu had just defeated Cao Cao, and you are now transporting a large amount of grain out to sell. Who knows who you are selling it to?

Fortunately, Gan Ning and his men were on the waterway.

In the end, a total of 150,000 dan of rice was loaded onto many small boats.

"Kong Ming, Wolong Village is handed over to you. If there is anything that is difficult to solve, please find Old Man Huang." Zhuge Tian said to Zhuge Liang while standing at the bow of the boat.

"Don't worry, brother."

"Zhongkang, follow Kong Ming and make sure he's safe."

"Ah."

Zhuge Tian said goodbye to a few people, then went downstream in the night.

"Hanxing, there's a big wooden box over there. What's in it?"

Liao Hua and Gan Ning followed Zhuge Tian out, and he asked curiously.

"Is it another divine weapon?"

"Guess." Zhuge Tian smiled slightly.

To be honest, leaving Wolong Village was a risky move for Zhuge Tian.

After all, his convenience store is there, and that is his biggest trump card.

But he didn't know whether it was because he was too quiet and wanted to take action, or because life after coming to the Three Kingdoms was much more comfortable than in the end times, but he, who had just turned eighteen, also wanted to take some risks.

In the end, it was decided to let Zhuge Liang stay at home while he took people out to sell food.

Moreover, this time they planned to head eastward after leaving Xiakou, without coming into contact with the forces of Sun Ce, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu in the Jiangnan and Central Plains areas. They would go directly out to sea from the Yangtze River and then head north.

That's where food is most scarce.

Zhuge Tianchuan had two funny guys, Gan Ning and Liao Hua, so it didn't feel boring.

In a few days, they arrived at the waters near Jianye along the Yangtze River.

Zhuge Tian was fishing at the stern of the boat that night, looking at the moon and stars. Suddenly, there was a click, and he saw a hook flying up from the side and hooking the side of the boat.

Zhuge Tian gently put down the fishing rod, took out a crossbow arrow from the quiver on his waist and put it into the crossbow on his left arm, then pulled out a dagger from his boot and walked over quietly.

I leaned forward slightly and saw a figure pulling a rope and trying hard to climb up.

There was a bamboo raft below, and I guess this person was paddling the raft to get closer to them.

Zhuge Tian didn't say anything either. He just aimed his crossbow at the newcomer and watched him climb up quietly.

"Huh!" The man never looked up and just kept crawling.

When he was finally about to reach the side of the ship, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to hold the side of the ship, and then looked up, he saw a crossbow arrow with a cold light in the moonlight pointing at him.

He never imagined that someone was waiting for him quietly.

He screamed in horror and loosened his grip on the side of the boat.

Just as he was about to fall, he felt his wrist tighten and was held by Zhuge Tian.

This man wanted to get on the boat stealthily, so Zhuge Tian of course had to find out his identity.

It was only when I heard her scream just now that I realized it was actually a woman.

"what's the situation?"

Gan Ning and Liao Hua rushed out with their men and saw Zhuge Tian raising his hand and pointing a crossbow at a woman leaning against the side of the boat.

"I don't know, this... the woman just used this to climb up, and I caught her."

"Hey, you're quite brave!" Gan Ning said disdainfully.

If Zhuge Tian hadn't been fishing here today, there would have been guards here, and it wouldn't have been easy to sneak onto Gan Ning's boat.

"Tell me, who sent you? What's your purpose?"

Zhuge Tian asked.

"Who sent me here? My dad wanted me to marry a loser, but I didn't want to, so I ran away."

The woman rubbed her stomach and said, "I was hungry, and since you had such a big boat, I decided to steal... to get some food."

He looked at the crossbow in Zhuge Tian's hand and said unconvincedly: "If you hadn't attacked by surprise, it's not certain who would have caught whom."

"So you're quite good at fighting?"

"Of course, even if there are ten or eight of you, I can handle them!"

The woman gave them a provocative look and said, "How about this? Let's have a fair fight. If I win, you can let me go... or give me some money and send me off."

"Okay!" Gan Ning agreed without hesitation before Zhuge Tian could say anything.

After being on the boat for a few days, it was really boring without Xu Chu to practice with.

Zhuge Tian didn't care about him. It would be more convenient to beat him up and then question him.

Love the fragrance and cherish the jade?

For these three brothers, it doesn't exist at all.

Seeing Zhuge Tian put away the crossbow, the woman saluted Gan Ning, and then suddenly attacked when Gan Ning returned the salute.

"puff!"

"boom!"
