Chapter 206 Cooperation
"This is it!"
The source of the sound was a wicker chair on the right side of the yard, on which an old man with white beard and hair was lying there basking in the sun.
Because of the angle, Wu Ze and the others failed to spot each other immediately.
"Uncle Liu, you just happen to be at home. These two friends are here to collect mountain goods. They want to go for a stroll in the mountains, so they want to ask you the way."
When the village head saw the old man, he immediately smiled and said.
"Got it, I'll talk to the two kids, you go and do your work."
The old man got up from the wicker chair, waved to the village chief and said.
Looking at the conversation between the two, Wu Ze suddenly felt that the old hunter mentioned in the original book was not that simple!
After the village chief left, the old man greeted Wu Ze and the two to the stone table in the yard, poured himself a glass of wine, and asked with a smile, "You two are really generous."
Wang Kaixuan didn't understand the meaning of his words, and said a little "ah" in a puzzled way: "What do you mean, old man?"
On the contrary, Wu Ze had a little understanding, knowing that the old man had seen through his plan, so he said with a smile: "It's nothing, just follow the trend."
He is not lying, but this is his true thought.
"Hehe." The old man chuckled, took a sip of wine boldly, and asked, "I don't know if you are only doing this business for this time, or are you planning to do it for a long time?"
Wu Ze replied without hesitation: "Of course it is a long-term cooperation. Good things in this mountain are rare."
Although there is a special supply of medicinal materials at home, those medicinal materials are only artificial products produced by farms. Now that a channel can be established, Wu Ze will naturally not just make a one-shot sale.
In fact, even if there is no such thing as Wang Kaixuan this time, he still plans to come here when he has time, not to mention that there are many rare and exotic animals in the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, just the natural medicinal materials in this mountain, even if he does not will let it go.
"I also know why you are here, take this thing."
The old man didn't say much, he lowered his head and rummaged through the small basket next to him, and quickly found a pamphlet and threw it to Wu Ze.
"This is?"
Wu Ze subconsciously took the brochure thrown by the other party, and looked at the old man with some puzzlement.
The old man smiled and got up and walked towards the rattan chair, and said as he walked, "Everything you want is here, which is more convenient than me telling you."
Wu Ze looked down at the booklet in his hand, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.
Only then did he realize that the booklet was not only very thin, but also bound with printing paper. It was really far-fetched to call it a booklet.
But now the meaning of the old man's gesture of seeing off the guests is obvious, so he didn't stay any longer, and left here pulling Wang Kaixuan who still wanted to ask something.
Let's take a look at the contents of this booklet first. Anyway, people will not run away here, so just lie down if you have any doubts.
"Wu Ze, what kind of riddles do you think this old man is playing?"
Wang Kaixuan glanced at the booklet with a blank cover in Wu Ze's hand, and asked in confusion.
"I know everything about this." Wu Ze didn't reply him, but just sighed, and opened the booklet in his hand.
After looking at it, he realized why the old man said that just now, because this booklet not only records the detailed route into the mountain, but also some taboos for walking in the mountain forest, the area where the beasts in the mountain are active, especially a hand-painted picture at the end detailed map of .
"Ouch!" Seeing the detailed content in this booklet, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but smacked his lips, and said, "The old man's basket must be full of such books, right? I really let him play the job of guiding the way." It's blooming!"
Just now when the old man took the booklet, he didn't avoid the two of them, so Wang Kaixuan also saw the whole process. At this moment, thinking that there seemed to be such booklets in the basket, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Not necessarily, if they are all the same, then it will be fine if you can't get them later. I don't think his rummaging action seems to be pretending." Wu Ze shook his head. He felt that those things might not be exactly the same as the one in his hand.
"Hiss—" Wang Kaixuan heard Wu Ze and turned his head to look at the distant door not far behind, and asked in a low voice: "You think the old man will not come up with fake tricks to fool people. If this attracts people If you go to the house of any wild beast, you will lose your skin even if you don’t die!"
"It's not good to say..."
Wu Ze also suspected this possibility. Judging from the many brochures prepared by the old man, it can be seen that there must be quite a few people who asked him for directions, and he felt that most of them should be grave robbers. People are polite.
So if you really dig a hole in it, it would be a bad thing.
However, Wu Ze still felt that something was wrong, because according to this statement, wouldn't the old hunter be afraid that someone would survive and come back to take revenge?
Unless... he is sure that those people will never come back...
Thinking of this, Wu Ze suddenly felt that this mountain village, which he didn't care about at first, was suddenly covered with a veil of mystery.
It's just that now is not the time to explore this matter, so he quickly let go of this idea, and once again focused on the "strategy" in front of him.
In order to avoid the loss of this "strategy" due to accidents in the future, Wu Ze and Wang Kaixuan decided to take advantage of the time before Wu Xie and the others came to try to remember the above content in their minds. After all, it is safer .
What Wu Ze didn't expect was that they waited until the sky was dark, and no third stranger entered the village.
Wang Kaixuan looked at the dark sky, frowned slightly, and asked, "Wu Ze, do you think you really went the wrong way this day?"
He had already calculated in his heart, and said that Wu Xie's speed was much slower than theirs, but now it's time to go even if it takes so long!
"I guess they should be working there and haven't left yet. We might not see them until tomorrow." Wu Ze closed the booklet in his hand and said slowly.
"I remember the village chief said that the branch secretary took some people to work on another mountain, so I hope we can leave tomorrow."
After hearing Wang Kaixuan's question, he immediately recalled the memory of this episode in his mind, and then remembered that Wu Xie and the others arrived at the village the next day.
At the same time, what the village chief said not long ago just verified this point.
"Then shall we wait?" Wang Kaixuan asked.
"Wait." Wu Ze nodded, but at the same time he didn't forget to comfort the fat man: "Even if they really don't come, don't worry, I have a way to find them."
"That's fine." Wu Ze had already said so, and Wang Kaixuan didn't say anything more.
Whether Wu Ze's speculation is correct or not, as long as he has a way to keep up.
Facts have proved that Wu Ze's 'speculation' is not wrong.
Early the next morning, they saw Wu Xie and Lao Xie following a group of villagers.
At this moment, compared to Wu Ze and Wang Kaixuan who had a good night's rest, the two looked a little tired, obviously they hadn't had a good rest.
However, Wu Xie was very excited to see an acquaintance here suddenly, and quickly said hello: "Wu Ze! Fatty!"
When he came to the two of them, he asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
Wang Kaixuan crossed his arms, and said in a strange way: "What's the matter, you and your little friend can come to explore, and Boss Wu and I can't go into the mountains for a stroll!"
"Why not, it's too powerful!"
Wu Xie knew that the fat man was still thinking about the last time they met, so he didn't argue with him, and just followed him.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." After the two of them said a few words, Wu Xie looked at Wu Ze and said seriously.
"We didn't expect it either, it seems that we are quite destined." Wu Ze also pretended not to know, and said with a smile.
He would never tell Wu Xie that the two of them were following them, and they just overtook the car yesterday.
If he really said that, then let's not mention what reaction Wu Xie will have, and the old itch who has been silent will definitely not do it.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, let's go, the fat man will cook for you himself."
After a brief chat, Wang Kaixuan grabbed Wu Xie's shoulders and took him to the place where he and Wu Ze lived temporarily.
Not long after eating, the branch secretary who brought Wu Xie and the others found him. On the one hand, he wanted to talk to Wu Ze about cooperation, and on the other hand, he wanted to fulfill his promise to let his children take Wu Xie Xie and Lao Xie went to the old hunter to ask for directions.
Wu Xie originally planned to take Wang Kaixuan with him, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by the old itchy, so in the end it was still the two of them who went there.
Seeing the figures of the two leaving, Wang Kaixuan curled his lips in disdain: "You said that this person is so boring, and he still hides it."
"It's understandable. After all, he and Wu Xie are friends, but we are just strangers." Wu Ze didn't take it seriously, anyway, no matter what the old itching had to say, he and the fat man must follow along the way.
Immediately, he chatted with the branch secretary about the cooperation. His goal was not just to get the mountain products of this village, but to take all the output of the surrounding mountains.
Now that everyone has cooperated, it is much better to ask the villagers to help introduce them than to go directly to the door.
Yesterday Wu Ze had already inquired about this village because there are always tomb robbers or expedition teams coming here to rest, so it has a high degree of acceptance to outsiders. Some villages around here have less contact with outsiders, so some people come to build a bridge A line will make things go more smoothly.
After Wu Ze's conversation was about the same, Wu Xie and Wang Kaixuan, who had gone to the old hunter's place, also returned here.
Because Wu Ze and Wang Kaixuan had already rented this unoccupied yard, the two of them didn't go to the house where Lao Yang used to live. After all, living there was far less convenient than here.
I don't know what the two chatted on the road, but it turned out that Wu Xie had convinced Lao Xie, so Wu Xie found Wu Ze and Wang Kaixuan after returning, and asked:
"I have information about a tomb here, are you interested?"
Wu Ze and Wang Kaixuan looked at each other, Wang Kaixuan grinned and said, "How can I miss your fat master about touching the baby."
This is what they were waiting for!
Now that Wu Xie brought it up on his own initiative, it would save the two of them looking for a reason.
"Exchange... stream information."
At this time, the old tickler who was following Wu Xie interjected.
Wu Ze nodded with a smile: "No problem, if you can kill two birds with one stone, this trip will be worth it."
Afterwards, Wu Ze said directly: "I also got news that there is an ancient tomb with an unknown age here, so I called the fat man to come over and have a look. What about you, are you in the same place as us?"
"No." Wu Xie shook his head: "What we are going to is a sacrificial pit, do you remember the bronze bell in the underwater tomb?"
"Bronze bell?" Wang Kaixuan looked at Wu Xie suspiciously. There were only two places where they had seen bronze bells, but now those two places have been completely destroyed, so it is not clear why Wu Xie mentioned this.
Wu Xie put his hand in his pocket, took out a small box, and opened the box to reveal the bronze bell inside.
"This is my little hair, old itchy." He first introduced the old itchy around him, and then continued: "He came here three years ago, found a sacrificial pit in the mountain, and brought out some bronze utensils. This bell is one of them."
"Hey! It's really that kind of bell!"
Wang Kaixuan moved closer to the bronze bell in Wu Ze's hand and took a closer look, making sure that it was the kind of bronze bell he had seen.
"Then you plan to go to the sacrificial pit again to investigate the matter of the bronze bell?" Wu Ze glanced at the bronze bell and asked.
He knew that Wu Xie was very curious, so he asked this question in order to act more like him.
"There are reasons for this, but there is also a plan to touch something." Wu Ze said, this is only one of the reasons, and more is that he also has to eat.
He didn't directly say that he came to Qinling because of old age and lack of money. Anyway, now that everyone has gone to the mountains, it's meaningless to say whether or not to talk about it.
"Then let's act together and go to both places, so we can have someone to take care of us when the time comes." Wu Ze nodded and said.
With the basis of the previous cooperation, and Wang Kaixuan as the glue, the cooperation is basically settled in a few sentences.
The four briefly exchanged the information they had, but when talking about what happened to the old hunter, Wu Xie gave a different version.
In his description, the old hunter has been persuading them not to enter the mountain at this time from the beginning to the end. After the last persuasion failed, he did not give the same brochure. Instead, he simply described the route to enter the mountain.
If it weren't for comparing the memories in his mind and finding that the route Wu Xie got into the mountain was the same as his own, and more rough, Wu Ze really suspected that there was something wrong with the old hunter's booklet.
Thinking about it this way, Wu Ze didn't hide any secrets, and took out the booklet very frankly.
Wu Ze handed the brochure to Wu Xie: "Do you want to see this?"
"Where did this thing come from?" Wu Xie took the booklet curiously, and after flipping through it briefly, he couldn't help asking.
In the eyes of a professional like him, this booklet is more useful than what he worked hard to get from the old hunter.
After all, the more detailed this kind of thing is, the better!
