Perhaps Chen Xing’s gaze is too blunt, so that the shopkeeper is a little difficult to resist, he moved away from his gaze, his eyes flickered as he said: “This, these things are all ordered, so it can not be sold to you.”

 

Chen Xing looked at the rice displayed, felt that it was not quite right, in order to be sure again or point to those rice and asked, “These all have been ordered?” The shopkeeper, facing Chen Xing’s slightly questioning gaze, nodded his head stiffly, and said in a somewhat helpless tone, “Yes ah, sir, these are all ordered by the customers on the other side of the room.”

 

Chen Xing raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper, looking at his eyes as he avoided it. He thought it was a bit strange but he didn’t think much of it, so he nodded his head to show his understanding and left. Anyway, this is not the only rice shop in the city so it would be the same if he went to another shop. It was just that he had worked with them for so long that he had subconsciously chosen this one.

 

Therefore, Chen Xing, very understandable towards the shopkeeper, nodded his head and said in a gentle tone: “In that case, then I do not force someone to do something he is unwilling, I will go to another house to look at it.”

 

Hearing Chen Xing say something like this, the shopkeeper’s face appeared a little hesitant, and finally, as if he was concerned about something, he did not say anything.

 

On the contrary, Qiu Shi who followed beside Chen Xing, left a glance at the shopkeeper, looked at him with a weak and guilty look, his heart had several points of speculation. He did not say much, just silently pushed the cart and followed Chen Xing’s back.

 

Chen Xing also did not know whether today’s ‘yellow calendar’ is not right or the whole city was against him.He then took Qiu Shi to several rice shops, but they were either all ordered or not sold. It took him an hour to make the trip, which was supposed to take half an hour. He had to spend an hour on the journey yet he hadn’t bought a single grain of rice.

 

“Little Boss, do we need to go there again next?” Qiu Shi looked at Chen Xing who was frowning and sitting there, not knowing what he thought about. He asked him in a low voice.

 

Chen Xing sat on the stone bench, eating the candied fruit given to him by Gu Lang before he left home, looking at the street in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking about.

 

After hearing Qiu Shi’s question, Chen Xing seemed to have thought of something, slowly shook his head and sighed: “No need, We’ll go back first!”

 

At first, when they didn’t get to buy any rice, it could only be said that it was a matter of their luck, but later on, after running to so many houses, they obviously had rice but didn’t sell it to him, which made him think more about it. He felt that they were being targeted, and in such a blatant manner. If this is the case, then no matter how many homes he went to are the same, why would he bother to spend these thoughts? Why not go back and think about what to do, then it’s the right thing to do?

 

Thinking like this, Chen Xing silently sighed, and then stood up towards Qiu Shi beside him and said: “Let’s go, we go back.”

 

When Chen Xing led Qiu Shi back to the shop, the shop had been completely cleaned up, and Gu Lang was sitting at the counter watching the pedestrians on the street, seemingly waiting for their return.

 

Chen Xing very obviously saw that when Gu Lang saw him, his originally no expression face suddenly bloomed with a smile, which let his accumulated fatigue from running the whole day become slightly relaxed.

 

Gu Lang came out from behind the counter, came to the side of Chen Xing as he just wanted to say something to him, out of the corner of his eyes, he scanned the empty cart behind him.

 

Thinking of today’s Chen Xing out of the door before the words, Gu Lang gradually gave birth to a not so good premonition, then he looked at Chen Xing in front of him, only to find that his face with a seldom seen fatigue look, he could not care about that much as he directly asked out, “You go out today, but not too smooth.”

 

Hearing Gu Lang’s slightly concerned words, Chen Xing’s originally strong shoulders collapsed in an instant, raising his eyes to Gu Lang with a bit of a petulant tone that he himself hadn’t even realized as he said:

 

“I think I should be targeted. When I went to buy rice today, they did not sell it to us. I think that the Zhao family must be the one behind this, but I don’t understand why they’re doing this, and what the benefits or advantages are for them?”

 

Gu Lang frowned, his face became a bit ugly, he had imagined the Chen family’s tactics or methods, but he did not think it would be such an underhanded (low hand) method, it’s really a bit ridiculous ah!

 

Gu Lang looked down at the frustrated Chen Xing, comforted him, “Nothing, if no one in the city sells it to us, no big deal, we just have to go to a distant place to collect it, that’s it.”

 

Chen Xing also thought about this problem, but the ancient traffic (communication) is not convenient, if they go to the village to buy, or run to other places to buy, not to mention the cost of this problem is also the incur loss through delay.

 

But things having reached this stage now, Chen Xing had no better solution, he could only nod his head after Gu Lang’s words, as if he agreed with his opinion.

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s sullen look, gently rubbed his head, and said in a gentle and soothing voice: “It’s alright, it will be fine. The Chen family can’t control everything with one hand, this county is so big, it’s not possible for every rice shop to listen to him. After we pass this period of time, and then find a way to get justice for ourselves.”

 

Chen Xing heard Gu Lang’s words, nodded his head fiercely, he felt that Gu Lang is right, they first put the immediate difficulties of the past, and then think of ways to get justice for themselves.

 

Chen Xing, who had thought it through, immediately pulled himself together again, and, with a little spirit, began to think of a way out. Soon, he made a judgment, he first went to look at the remaining rice shops, estimating that it can still be used for three days of the amount. Immediately after that, he asked Qiu Jiu and Qiu Shi to go out and ask around to find out which rice shop could sell rice to them.

 

Chen Xing originally thought that even if the Chen family has some prestige in this city, but it is not possible to do a single hand to cover the sky (shut out the sky with one hand—hide the truth from the masses; hoodwink the public), there will always be that one or two fish that missed the net, which can bring him some good news.

 

Unfortunately, things can not be as what Chen Xing wished, wait until Qiu Jiu and the others come back, what they bring was not good news, on the contrary, he let Chen Xing’s heart feel more and more depressed.
