Li Yuanfang explored all corners of Enyifang, but still did not find anything, Li Yuanfang couldn't help becoming nervous!

Leaving Enyifang, Li Yuanfang hurried back to Julai Inn to meet Di Renjie!

"My lord, Di Chun is gone!" Li Yuanfang said with a bow and salute!

"What?" Di Renjie stood up abruptly and asked in astonishment: "What happened? How did Di Chun disappear?"

Li Yuanfang said with a face full of remorse: "Since my humble position has been separated from the adults today, I have been observing the activities of Enyifang at a tea stall outside Enyifang. Hearing the tea stall owner said that a large number of young and strong All the labors entered this Enyifang, but I only saw Di Chun go in and not come out! I was a little worried about Di Chun, so I checked around Enyifang, and indeed I didn’t see Di Chun and the others coming out. At night, I sneaked into Enyifang. Check, this is a big Enyi Square. After there are no customers, it is very deserted. There are not many people in total. I have searched almost all the houses in the square, and there is no shadow of Di Chun and the others!"

Di Renjie stroked his beard and pondered. Suddenly, Di Renjie asked: "Yuanfang, can you see that Enyifang has carts and horses today?"

Li Yuanfang said, "Is the adults afraid that they would transport Di Chun and the others away by using carts and horses as a cover?"

"Well! I can't rule out this possibility!" Di Renjie said anxiously!

"My lord, I have been staring at Enyifang, and there are no carts or horses driving out or entering!" Li Yuanfang said very positively!

"This is really weird, the good-natured man, after entering this Enyifang, disappeared? Have you ever found any marks left by Di Chun?" Di Renjie asked!

Li Yuanfang didn't speak, and shook his head gently!

"What's the matter with you? It only takes a few days for the delivery of so little, when will it be delivered next time?"

"Satisfied, you are the old customers, can I send you some more, next time? We don't know if we can have it next time!"

"Then you are too deceitful? Suddenly it is out of stock. What should we do as the chef? How can we open this business?"

"I can't control this, that's all, do you want it? Don't we take it away right away! Now this is very expensive?"

"We can endure without charcoal. Now there is so little firewood? It's winter now. How do we live?"

Suddenly there was a quarrel in the yard, Di Renjie frowned slightly, walked out of the room, and Li Yuanfang also followed!

As soon as I left the house, I saw the shopkeeper Fang walking from the front hall to the backyard!

"What's the noise? I don't know how many guests live in the courtyard?" The shopkeeper Fang asked!

"No, the shopkeeper, look, they are getting more and more excessive. The charcoal was gone before, and the firewood sent now is only so little, and there is no guarantee that it will be delivered next time!" The guy complained red-faced!

"Shunzi, what's the matter with you? We have been cooperating for so many years, and you have been supplying charcoal and firewood. If this breaks, how can we explain it to the guests?" The shopkeeper Fang asked the delivery person!

"Treasurer Fang, you don't know, it's because you are our old customers, my shopkeeper asked me to send these. Let me tell you the truth, we don't know what to burn!" Shunzi said embarrassedly!

"What? Your charcoal-burning business doesn't have firewood to burn yourself? Don't you open your eyes and talk nonsense?" The shopkeeper Fang said suspiciously!

"Treasurer Fang, it's hard to say anything. To tell you the truth, the source of our charcoal and firewood is mainly from Daqingshan. You know that, but this Daqingshan was closed when it first entered autumn. At first there were some forests at the foot of the mountain. , We can still hold on, but not long ago, the entire Daqingshan Mountain was sealed off. Every day it was guarded by officers and soldiers. No one was allowed to approach it. Let alone go up the mountain to chop wood, it was until the cattle and sheep went to the foot of the mountain to eat some grass. No!" Shunzi said sadly!

"Is there anything else? I'm sorry, thank you for me, the shopkeeper Gao, sorry!" The shopkeeper Fang apologized again and again!

"Forget it, forget it, do you think of a way?" Shunzi waved his hand, turned and pulled the empty carriage to leave!

"Wait a minute!" Di Renjie shouted suddenly!

"Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry to disturb Mr. Huai to rest!" The shopkeeper Fang quickly apologized!

"It's okay, it's okay, I just want to ask him something!" Di Renjie said, pointing to Shunzi who came to deliver the firewood!

"Shunzi, come here, Mr. Huai asks you something!" The shopkeeper Fang hurriedly shouted!

"Hey!" Shunzi threw the rope in his hand, turned and walked over! "This old gentleman, what do you want to ask?"

"Oh, this little brother, I'm bothering you, the old man just heard what you said Daqing

Is the mountain closed? what happened? "Di Renjie asked!

"Mr. Hui, it's like this. About half a year ago, this government suddenly sealed off the deep part of Daqingshan. We were charcoal burning, so we pointed to Daqingshan to chop some firewood and burn charcoal to sell. This mountain is closed. Yes, the firewood in the mountains will naturally not be able to be cut. We can only pick some thick trees at the foot of the mountain, but you also know that there are not many trees at the foot of the mountain, and they are still very small. Our business is even more important. I can't do it, but now it's good, even the foot of the mountain is sealed, we can't do it at all!" Shunzi said helplessly!

"Why does this good-looking government close the mountain?" Di Renjie asked!

"How do we know? Daqingshan is guarded by officials and soldiers. If anyone sneaks up the mountain, if they are discovered by the officials, it will be a severe beating at the slightest level, and in the worst case, I am afraid that the head will fall to the ground?" Shunzi said!

"Okay! I see, I'm harassing!" Di Renjie said!

"The old gentleman is polite, I will leave if there is nothing wrong! Shopkeeper Fang, goodbye!" Shunzi said to Di Renjie and Shopkeeper Fang!

Shunzi left the Julai Inn, and Di Renjie went back to the room contemplatively!

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Li Yuanfang asked softly!

"Why is this government closing the mountain? Is there any secret in this mountain?" Di Renjie said to himself!

"Aren't there all notices in Fengshan? Let's go and see it?" Li Yuanfang said!

"Well! Well, we will go to Daqingshan tomorrow!" Di Renjie said!

In the morning of the next day, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang had a hasty breakfast, and then they pretended to be walking away and set off for Daqingshan!

Sure enough, they were stopped by the officers and soldiers in a place more than ten miles away from Daqingshan!

"Stop! What do you two do?" an officer asked!

"Junye, in Xia Huaiying, go to Fang Langzhong to treat illnesses and save people, and want to gather some herbs in the green mountains!" Di Renjie said respectfully!

"Langzhong? Picking medicine? Didn't you know that Daqingshan was closed?" The officer looked at Di Renjie and asked!

"My master and apprentice are here. I don't know why this great green mountain is closed?" Di Renjie asked!

"There are notices over there, go and see for yourself!" The officer pointed to a half-collapsed earth wall beside the road and said!
