Chapter 548: Being a Naughty Child in Troubled Times 11

"Didn't you sleep well? What were you doing? Did you follow his little rat brothers to steal?"

Gun Gun said jokingly, but unexpectedly Bai Qiu nodded.

"No, you really went to steal?"

Gungun looked at her in surprise.

Bai Qiu said in a low voice with a mysterious expression: "His brothers found out that a batch of arms had arrived in the provincial capital. It was said that they were brought by foreigners and wanted to trade with someone here. So he took his brothers there and stayed there for two nights. After the transaction was completed, he took money from both sides..."

Then both sides suspected that the other side did it, and went to ask the other side for an explanation. Of course, neither side admitted it, and they ended up fighting, and both sides suffered losses.

Lao Hui and his friends returned home with a full load and also had a great time watching the excitement. In addition, they rushed over after hearing the news, so they really didn't sleep much for four or five nights.

After dinner, Xiao Yun and Xiao Erhei ran to Lao Hui's room, wanting to hear the details. As soon as they entered, they saw the guy sleeping sprawled across the big kang.

Xiao Erhei climbed directly onto the kang and pinched Lao Hui's slightly pointed nose.

It has to be said that these animals that have become spirits will retain some of their own appearance characteristics, like A Yuan's somewhat long neck, Bai Qiu's somewhat short hands and feet, Fox Lao San's fox eyes, Liu Qing's narrow pupils, and Lao Hui's pointed nose and mouth.

It’s not that they can’t change into something else, but they prefer their original appearance and are very satisfied with their appearance, so when they change, they will subconsciously retain some of it.

Lao Hui was snoring, but suddenly his nose was pinched and the snoring stopped abruptly. Without even opening his eyes, he hugged the little fat boy and started rubbing him.

Little Erhei screamed and squeaked as he was rubbed by him, but he couldn't break free. Later, he was tickled and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. In the end, he could only beg for mercy, "Ahahaha~ Uncle Hui, I was wrong~ Hahaha, I will never pinch your nose again~"

Lao Hui then let him go, and Xiao Erhei quickly climbed to the other end of the kang. He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that Lao Hui could not catch him.

Xiao Yun shook his head in amusement. This little Erhei really never grew up and his personality was always like a naughty child. He often played like this with a group of elders in the space, and everyone spoiled him.

As she thought about it, she opened her arms towards Lao Hui, and Lao Hui naturally reached out and carried her onto the kang. There was no other way, he was too short, so there was no way he could get on the kang by himself.

The two little feet stepped on each other's heels, and the two little flower shoes fell to the ground. She crawled to Lao Hui and sat on the thick mattress with her short legs crossed. The place where the kang mat was laid was too hard, so it was more comfortable to sit on the mattress.

"I heard you went to the provincial capital a few days ago and collected a batch of good stuff? How did it go? Tell me about it."

Lao Hui was amused by her behavior and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her chubby face. He withdrew his hand awkwardly after being glared at.

"I heard about the recruitment from the little mice before Fox Third sent me a message. Those foreigners had already contacted an adjutant under Yao Shenglin. That adjutant was the brother-in-law of Yao Shenglin's son..."

"Are those foreigners little squash?"

Xiao Yun interrupted Lao Hui.

Lao Hui shook his head. "No, it was John Bull's people. But the weapons they brought here are very problematic. They weren't made in their country and are more advanced than current technology. I suspect they may have come from the Three Provinces."

Xiao Yun frowned, "If that's the case, it'll be troublesome. Don't underestimate the luck of Tiandao's daughter. These people will probably be exposed soon. The problem is that if they find out about us, chaos may break out, and we're not ready yet.

Contact Liu Qing and have him check to see if they've been exposed. If not, find a way to clean up the mess. Then we'll go deal with those people tonight and try to stabilize this area before Lao Hei can make his move."

Lao Hui nodded seriously, "I'll send a message to Liu Qing right away."

After saying that, he took out his communicator and started editing text messages. This is safer than making a phone call. If the other party is busy and inconvenient, he can check the message later.

But it was obvious that nothing was wrong on Liu Qing's end. He called back in less than ten seconds and asked what the specific situation was.

Lao Hui gave a brief explanation, and Liu Qing said that he would ask the little mice over there to check it out, and then hung up.

The rats over there were the ones Liu Qing asked Lao Hui to take with him when he left, in order to collect intelligence and gather news for him. The team developed a lot on their own over there, and the team was quite impressive.

Every time Xiao Yun thinks of this, he will think of an idiom - snakes and rats from the same nest.

……

It would probably take a while to get news from Liu Qing, so Lao Hui went to have breakfast first, and then followed Gun Gun and Bai Qiu to the village chief's house.

Lao Hui's new identity is Lao Hei's elder brother. He rushed here overnight after hearing that his younger brother was arrested. This is more in line with the actual situation. It would be strange if his relatives in his hometown did not react after such a big thing happened.

The village chief first expressed his gratitude, saying that Fox Old Third only helped out out of respect for his relative from the Xiong family, and then said that the village would definitely take good care of Gungun and his mother and son. Someone would patrol there at night to prevent people from outside the village from causing trouble while there were no young and strong people in the village.

Lao Hui also exchanged polite words with the other party and said that he would stay here for a while, one to wait for news from his younger brother, and the other to take care of his younger siblings, nephews, nieces and sister.

This way, he could get a clear answer and save others from making random guesses. After all, there were only women and children at home, and a disabled person who cooked. It made sense for him, the uncle, to come and look after the family. Besides, there was also his "sister" Bai Qiu.

After leaving the village chief's house, the three of them went to take a walk around the fields bought by Lao Hei. The wheat in the fields had almost been harvested and should have been cultivated immediately, but the young and strong men in the village were not there, leaving only women and the elderly. Cultivating the fields is a physical job and it would be a problem when the time comes.

It is inconvenient at this time. If it were a few decades later, we could get a tractor to plow the land, or in earlier years, we could buy some oxen. But now there are no tractors and no place to buy oxen, so we can only rely on manpower.

Lao Hui received a reply from Liu Qing in the field. Xiao Xinyue had indeed discovered the thief, but he was planning to play the game and play the long game to catch a bigger fish. In order not to alert the enemy, he had not yet investigated outside. There was still a chance to clean up the mess.

Gungun immediately sent a message to Laohei, telling him about the situation, as well as the suspicious identities of the adjutant and Yao Shenglin's daughter-in-law. These could all be used, and he asked him to act according to the circumstances.
