"Xiaohua, stay near the livestock brigade for the next few days, or just stay at the brigade itself. Don't go too far," Elder Gu said while sipping his soup. 'Ah, this clay pot chicken soup is delicious!'
Hua Yusen nodded. "Yes, Elder Gu. I have indeed noticed some peddlers coming to our village these past couple of days."
Sun Haoran was taken aback and questioned, "It's normal for peddlers to come here, isn't it? After all, for little things like needles and thread, you can't always go to the county town. Besides, it's not like you use money; you trade for things."
"But those peddlers... they dress the part, but their demeanor is off. And they're coming too frequently. Before, we were lucky if they showed up three times a month. Now, they've come three times in a single week. And they're not just loitering in the village; they're even wandering over to the livestock brigade," Hua Yusen answered. "This morning, I tailed one of them all the way to Liujiawan before I turned back."
