Chapter 126 A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake

Xu Da and Ah Ji stopped hesitantly, only to see two servant-like people approaching them. "Yes, that's you guys. What do you do?"

"Us? Let's go into the store to buy something?" Xu Da and A Ji were still wearing the clothes they had worn to work in the morning. Although they didn't look tattered, they were dirty. Coupled with the smell in the backpack, it was not hard to mistake them for refugees.

One of the servants quickly showed a look of disdain. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by another servant: "Can you two wait until my master finishes talking to the shopkeeper before going in?"

"Okay, everything is based on first come first served, so we'll wait a little longer."

"Thank you."

Seeing that the servant was quite polite, Xu Da took Ah Ji to a place not far from the grocery store to sit down and wait.

"Master Xu, why don't we go to the restaurant to buy it?" After waiting for an incense stick of time, no one from the grocery store came out. Several waves of people who wanted to go into the grocery store to buy things had been asked to leave by the two servants.

Xu Da frowned at the two servants, then he left after listening to Ah Ji's words. The servant who had sneered at Xu Da and the others laughed at them: "Look, two poor bastards, how can you afford to buy things? You said I was biased, but you're not leaving now."

"Be careful with your words and don't cause trouble for the young master." The servant who spoke politely turned serious. He stared at the figures of Xu Da and the other man, and felt that he was not wrong. Xu Da was not a refugee.

The refugees don't have Xu Da's spirit.

"Tsk." The servant who had just sneered at Xu Da and his friends was about to continue laughing when he saw Xu Da and A Ji carrying baskets and walking into the only restaurant in the town.

"Sir, please come in!" As soon as Xu Da and Aji entered the room, the waiter came up to them warmly with a handkerchief covering his face.

"Waiter, how do you sell your wine?" Xu Da didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

The waiter's eyes lit up and he immediately introduced the wines sold in the store. Xu chose a middle-level one and bought one or two taels of silver.

When paying the bill, Xu Da gave the waiter a few extra coins, "Waiter, do you know what's going on in that grocery store?"

When the waiter heard this, he knew what was going on. Today, many people who went to the grocery store to buy wine were stopped by the two servants and came to his restaurant.

Of course, he had found out everything about this matter.

"Sir, you've asked the right person!" The waiter took the copper coins that Xu Da gave him and pointed at the two servants and said, "Those two are servants of the Qi family. They have been here for two days."

"Qi family?"

"They are also fleeing here." The waiter continued to explain that it was said that the Qi family had discovered the drought was going to happen early, and the whole family had made preparations to move south in advance.

The Qi family's escape was naturally different from that of the Xu family. The Qi family set out early and hired an escort agency. With more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages, they arrived in Ninghai County half a month ago.

Ninghai County and Shanglu County are next to each other and very close to Shangshi Town.

Ninghai County is more prosperous than Shanglu County, but as soon as the Qi family arrived in Ninghai County, they offended the largest boat gang in Ninghai County. The boat gang was the local tyrant and had forbidden the Qi family from doing business in Ninghai County.

The Qi family refused to believe in evil and gave gifts all over Ninghai County. However, they still could not make money, so they moved from Ninghai County to Shanglu County.

"Master Qi came here yesterday. The Wu family's grocery store is inherited from their ancestors, so there's no way they can sell it. Look, they've been trying to get it for two days."
