Hu Feng doesn’t know what she was thinking on that little head of her, but looking at her face. She seemed very dissatisfied with the Rice Seller Boss’s behavior.
“He is a businessman. He is doing this to make more money. Isn’t this normal?”
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Hu Feng in confusion: “Normal? All the refugees haven’t come, but he already doubles the price? How will the refugees buy rice if the price is high? Where will they get the money? The people in the town might be panicking now, but how many people do you think will die from hunger later? Do you think this is so-called normal?”
Well, that’s not normal, but why does it matter to her? She was only a mountain village girl, who lived a good life in a few days. So, what can she do?
Hu Feng didn’t say anymore and just rush back to ride the oxcart.

When they passed by to a pastry shop, Bai Zhi went in and bought some snacks. Then, she saw the building opposite to the pasty shop. The building was built with brick tiles. It looked much stronger than any house in their Huangtuo Village. She wanted to build a two-story house, but using mud brick will make it impossible, so she was worried. However, she doesn’t know where to buy brick tiles. She really didn’t expect to see it right now.
Bai Zhi got an idea and run towards the young man who was aligning bricks on the wall: “Dage, can I ask you something?”
The young man was concentrating on putting bricks when suddenly someone yelled at him. The man was shocked and his control was cut off. The brick on his hand slipped and fell towards Bai Zhi’s head.
Bai Zhi was so scared to the point that she forgot to dodge.
She just stared at the brick that was falling on top of her head.
If it falls on her head, her small head will definitely smash.
Seeing that the bricks will fall on her head, Bai Zhi quickly closed her eyes. But at the same time, she felt pain on her waist and her body spin rapidly.
She escaped, but she heard the sound of the brick hitting someone’s body.
Hu Feng grabbed and hugged her body, and let her stood still.
“Dage, are you okay?” The young man who was aligning the bricks asked.
He had never seen someone stayed still after being hit by this big brick… …
Hu Feng released Ba Zhi in his arms and touched his back. He was not hurt, he just felt a little pain: “I am fine.”
At the same time, Bai Zhi returned to her senses. She hurriedly checked Hu Feng’s back to confirm if he was really alright. After confirming, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“That was dangerous, but thank you.” Bai Zhi was a little embarrassed, she can clearly avoid it. It’s just her brain suddenly stop functioning and forgot to escape.
Hu Feng stared at Bai Zhi coldly, then went back to the ox cart. He couldn’t understand why he was angry though.
Bai Zhi stick out her tongue and turned to face the young man who was aligning the bricks: “Dage, where did you buy all these bricks?”
The young man smiled and asked: “Why? Do you want to build a house too?”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Yes, our wooden house was blown over by the wind. I think the brick house is strong.”
The young man looked at Bai Zhi from head to toe, then smiled: “The bricks are not cheap, do you know how much a standard brick house like this will cost?” The young man pointed his finger to the brick house that will soon be completed.
Bai Zhi shook her head: “I don’t know, how much does it cost?”
The young man extended his five fingers and said: “Including the labor, it cost at least 50 taels.”
