Jumping beam clown mixed history
Chapter 149
Chuanshan put a simple barrier around the house, dragged Geng Er and ran away.When he ran away, he also kindly sent the watchman and patrolling villagers who were asleep outside the house into the house.
The county seat is easy to find, as long as you go to the place with the most mixed atmosphere nearby, it must be the place where the population gathers.
On the way to the county seat, Chuanshan stood on the shuttle with Geng Er in his arms and recalled the past: "My father once told me that no matter how hard an iron sword is soaked in water, it will rot, and even a stone with sharp edges will soak in water. The edges and corners of the water will also be worn away. Instead of being iron swords and stones that hurt people, it is better to be tolerant water at home, and water is not without temper.”
"Water?" Geng Er turned around and looked at this person, feeling a little like him.Strange and changeable, kind on the surface, sinister and vicious in the dark, even if you are in a desperate situation, as long as you find a little opportunity, you can find life through the cracks. When you are angry, it is like a flood. When you are in heat, it is endless. When you are gentle, it is sticky. Yes, Geng Er accidentally thought too much, his face was a little hot.
Chuanshan didn't know what Geng Er was thinking, just like chatting, he continued to talk to him in the dark night about his thoughts that he had never told others.
"My mother often told the family members at home not to let outsiders see the family jokes, and even if they wanted to quarrel, they had to close the door. So although our family has three generations in the same house and serves four elderly people together, there are few quarrels. They try not to blame me when things happen, and I try not to blame them for being partial."
Geng Er turned his head, stood on tiptoe and touched the head of his own tender grass, feeling sorry for him, this dead child must have often hid and cried secretly when he was young.
Chuanshan lowered his head and rubbed his face, "Be soft on the inside and strong on the outside. This is what I learned from my family. Because of the reputation of the bad star, I suffered a lot when I was young, and then I learned to use my brain when things happen. I know I can’t just do it blindly.”
Geng Er grabbed Chuan Shanhuan's big hand on his chest and leaned against him.
Chuan Shan rubbed against Geng Er, muttering to him about his childhood.
He talked about how he was bullied and how he got bullied back; he said how the elders in the family favored his younger siblings, but told him that the older ones should let the younger ones; that the younger siblings listened to the rumors outside and stayed away from him, which made him sad for a long time He said how happy he was that his siblings came back to him again and apologized to him.
He said that his mother blamed him personally, and that his father was making trouble everywhere; he also said how many injustices he had encountered, that his family stood up for him and quarreled with the villagers; in the end, he also said that he once liked a girl in the village, but because the other party scolded him Broomstar, he pushed her and became an enemy from then on.
Hearing this, Geng Er was blown away!
The man smirked and took several blows from the hammer, and took a few mouthfuls of the tender steamed buns along the way.
After a while, the two arrived at the largest and most populated county in the vicinity.
The word "He Yu" is engraved on the city wall, and it is about five or six hundred miles away from the refugee village in Chuanhai.
"Didn't your mother say that your sister and your brother-in-law came here to buy food? I don't know if they are still there? Maybe we can meet them." Geng Er remembered the name of the city.
Chuanshan also subconsciously searched for his sister's whereabouts.
The fourth watch has passed, and the fifth watch is approaching. It is the time when people sleep most soundly. Some people who need to get up early to do business have already lit the fire and started a day's work.In some inns, there are also guests packing and having breakfast, preparing to go on the road at dawn.
"I found them, they are in the north of the city." Chuan Shan took Geng Er straight to the north of the city.
Luo Chuanyong, Wang Luoshi is cooking breakfast on the simple stove in the courtyard of Datongpu.
This inn is the largest mule and horse inn in Heyu County. It has six courtyards, specially for merchants who have a lot of goods.The inn is very simple, there are no serious guest rooms, only Datong shop.
Tongpu is located in the yard where the mules and horses rest and store their goods. For the safety of their goods and mules and horses, the merchants do not pay special attention to their own treatment. If they pay attention to it, they will not live here.
The Chinese New Year is almost here, and there are not many merchants still walking outside at this time, and there are only a group of people from Mashan Village and their mules and horses in a large courtyard.
"Yongzi, it's so cold, why don't you sleep a little longer?" A young man who looked very neat and capable walked up behind Luo Chuanyong, wanting to take over the work from her.
Chuanyong refused, "You're already up, I can't sleep. You go and check the goods, and I'll call you when the meal is ready."
"Xia Qiu has already gone to count." The young man took the fire stick from his wife and asked her to do the light work of cooking porridge.
Chuan Shan and Geng Er arrived, but did not show up immediately.
Geng Er gave Chuan Shan a strange look.
Chuanshan was looking critically at his brother-in-law.
From the outside, his sister doesn't look like she's living well. Although the dress is clean, there are patches piled on top of each other. On the contrary, the cloth jacket worn by his brother-in-law Wang Songlin is [-]-[-]% new.
A villager came over with a pile of firewood, and greeted Wang Songlin and his wife quickly.
Wang Songlin nodded to him.
Seeing that the second-in-command and his wife were working, the villager was embarrassed to stand idle, put down the firewood, turned around and ran to feed the mules and horses.
"The third brother of the Chen family is more diligent than the others. You can see that others are still lazing in bed, but he got up when he heard us get up." Chuanyong looked at the villager and gave a compliment.
"Well, it's a winking one."
Chuanyong looked at the watery porridge, and tried to mix some wild vegetables into it, but couldn't find it anywhere.This place is barren and the weather is cold, so there are very few wild vegetables, and a few shepherd's purses outside the city are not enough for a meal.
"If we don't sell the cloth again, everyone may be hungry next meal." Chuanyong said worriedly.
"Businessmen in the city have lowered the price too low. If we just nod and sell it like this, we won't be able to sell it at a lower price in the future."
Wang Songlin was also very helpless. Everyone wanted to sell the linen as soon as possible so that they could be exchanged for grain and salt, but the cloth merchants in the city were united, no matter which one they went to, the price was the same.But at that price, they might as well keep making their own clothes.
"But we don't have the ability to go any further. You said that if we give those merchants some money..."
"It's useless." Wang Songlin shook his head. "Our cloth can't be sold for much, so how much can we bribe those merchants? Those cloth merchants don't care about our small change, and our cloth is not very good."
"Although it's not good, it's because everyone was starving and working hard to weave it. Everyone hoped that the cloth could be exchanged for food and seeds, and have a good year. Why can't those merchants..."
"Those businessmen are just like us. Everyone wants to make more money." Seeing that the fire in the stove was burning steadily, Wang Songlin took out two sticks of firewood and slowly boiled the porridge on the stove, then got up and walked over to comfort his wife.
"Don't worry, it's not that our cloth can't be sold, it's just that I want to raise the price a bit more. Today I'll go find Lao Zhao later. He's probably the best talker among those cloth merchants. I beg him, if he can add a little more, I will sell him the cloth. We exchange grain and salt, so we can go back sooner.”
"Songlin, it's hard for you." Chuanyong caressed her husband's lapel.It's a pity that they can't afford better clothes, and they don't have extra money to buy clothes. The husband can only dress so poorly to talk business with people.
It sounds like a business deal, but is it actually bending down to beg for help?Those merchants only looked at the clothes and didn't know how much embarrassment they had caused their husband, but fortunately her husband was able to endure them all.
"It's not hard for me, it's you who worked hard. You've been married to me for almost two years, and I didn't let you live a good life, and even let you run around with me in public." Seeing no one around, Wang Songlin sneaked up on his wife He put his little hand to his mouth and breathed.
"Fool, that's my choice." Chuanyong lowered his head and pursed his lips into a smile, and the young couple gradually moved closer together.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I have counted all the goods, and there is not a piece of cloth missing." An eleven or two-year-old boy ran over like an adult and shouted.
The young couple quickly separated.
Chuanshan was barely satisfied.
His sister lived in poverty, but the happiness in her eyes and on her face was not fake. It seemed that Wang Songlin was not only a responsible and bloody man, but also knew how to be gentle and considerate to his wife.The most important thing is that he is not blindly strong, but also knows how to lower his head for the sake of life.
But that wasn't enough, he had to take another look.
That child is Wang Songlin's younger brother, right?Looks good, and a little familiar.Huh?look familiar?
Chuanshan was about to look at the child carefully.
"You want to keep peeking at them like this?" Geng Er poked him, "Your grandpa is still soaking in the bucket, or should I go back first?"
Chuanshan realized that by the way, he was here to deal with business.Now that you see that your sister and brother-in-law are fine, you might as well let them go and do the important things first.
"No, let them do their business, let's do ours, let's go."
Before dawn that day, two rich young masters who behaved strangely but spent a lot of money appeared in Heyu County.
The two rich young masters are naturally Chuanshan and Geng Er. They first went to the largest restaurant in the area, called the shopkeeper, and offered him a large sum of money to make as many dishes as he could within two hours. Don't be precious as long as it is delicious, including the dishes sent out of the city, and finally settle the money according to the amount of dishes sent.
In order to save time, they asked the shopkeeper to find other restaurants and restaurants to cook together, no matter how much they made, they would accept it.
The shopkeeper was well-informed, and he didn't talk too much about asking the guests what they wanted so much food and drink for. Looking at the silver ingots they left behind, no less than 500 taels, after confirming that they were real silver one by one, he felt that he would not suffer a loss, so he waved his hand. Let the guys below get busy.
Then Chuanshan and the two went to the largest carriage and horse dealer in the area and bought all the carriages and horses they could sell without any bargaining.
The owner of the chariot and horse shop was both surprised and happy, afraid of being fooled, and even asked an old man to verify the authenticity of the money, and after confirming that it was pure silver with the official seal, he laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.As long as the money is real, who can be unhappy to make such a big business just after opening the door early in the morning?
Chuanshan and the two bought 24 carts and 48 mules.Two mules and one cart walked easily.
The owner of the chariot and horse shop temporarily traded chariots and horses with other chariot and horse shops because of insufficient stock.
When Chuanshan saw the two tall horses without variegated colors in the carriage and horse shop, he was tempted for a moment, so he simply bought them with money.
The combined price of these two adult colts was more expensive than twenty mules. The owner of the car and horse tour boasted that the two horses were rare in the sky and nothing on the ground, and it was normal to travel thousands of miles a day.
Geng Er didn't understand what Chuanshan was doing to buy horses. At first, he thought there was something special about these two black horses, but he took a good look at them. After watching for a long time, he came to the conclusion that they were "normal horses". Maybe run a little faster than normal horses.
Chuanshan didn't have the nerve to tell Geng Er the truth. In fact, he bought the horse to put it bluntly...just for the sake of face.
Not counting last night, today he will show up in front of all the villagers in Mashantun.As a man, of course, a tall horse is indispensable when you are in the limelight.
The carriage and horses were bought, and the two of them didn't need a coachman, so they asked the chariot dealer to put on the mules. After checking that there was no problem, Geng Er picked up the whip provided by the chariot dealer and slapped it, and the 48 mules all behaved obediently. They dragged their carts and lined up behind the two. No mule dared to overtake the car, and no mule dared to be lazy or play a temper tantrum.
Not to mention that the chariot dealers were very surprised at the fat boy's ability to tame the mules and horses, and that the two of them split up after buying the chariots and horses. business.
In order not to disturb the government, Chuanshan approached three grain merchants respectively, and gave them cash with the official stamp on the spot, and bought one-third of the three grain merchants' stocks according to their storage volume.They also asked them to help buy all kinds of good varieties of grains and vegetables suitable for the local land.
While the grain merchants were delivering goods outside the city, Chuanshan bought a large amount of steamed buns, pancakes, stewed vegetables, salty goods, various sauces and cooking ingredients; Pig farmers send hundreds of fat pigs outside the city, and piglets are also needed; after buying pigs, chickens, ducks and geese are also indispensable Place.
He is not afraid of people repudiating his debts, and he is not afraid of people shoddying good ones. Taking his money is a contract. If he doesn't counter the price, others can't cheat him, otherwise there will be backlash from the contract waiting.
Seeing that it was too cold, Chuanshan went to the winery to buy a lot of wine.
After buying food and drinks, the rest is to buy cotton and cloth. Chuanshan didn't go directly to buy the goods of his sister and brother-in-law. He just bought more than half of the existing cloth in the county. With such a sale, they must not be able to sell it The cloth will be sold easily.
As for why Chuanshan didn't go directly to his sister and brother-in-law?
Have you bought your own goods to give gifts to your family?
And from Chuanshan's point of view, even if he wants to help them, he has other methods. What's the point of subsidizing them with more than ten taels of silver?
Chuanshan bought a lot of cotton, cloth, brocade, ready-made clothes, shoes and socks, and even needlework.He also changed two boxes of big money.
This series of purchases is a long story, but the speed of transmission is quite fast, and it took only two hours to complete everything. After all, money can turn ghosts around. As long as there is real money, all problems will no longer be problem.
In the end, Chuanshan wanted to buy some salt, but he needed a salt ticket, and if he wanted to buy a large amount of salt at one time, he needed a salt certificate issued by the government.Although he can buy it by spending money to find someone, but firstly it is too troublesome, and secondly it is more conspicuous, so he will give up after thinking about it.
He thought it over, if his brother really planned to settle down in Mashantun, he would find out if there was a salt mine nearby, and just get him a salt well.
On this day, the merchants in Heyu County were all overjoyed. It took many years to see such a generous man, and he didn’t even ask for a bargain. Few people can live a prosperous and good year.
Happy to be happy, but many people are curious, why does this generous man buy so many things?And it's all clothes and food?
Some people said that the old man was having a wedding at home, and because he was in a hurry and had no time to prepare, he came out to buy temporarily.
Some people also said that the old man's family suffered a catastrophe, and he had nothing but money, so he came out to make up for the lack.
There are even those with rich imagination, guessing that the master predicted that there will be a catastrophe here, so he bought a lot of food and clothes in advance and hid them at home.
Curious and smart people are never uncommon. When Chuan Shan went to join Geng Er outside the city, someone secretly followed them.
Chuan Shan and Geng Er knew that there were people following behind them, but they ignored them.
Those people saw that they were riding tall horses, followed by 24 carts, hundreds of livestock followed obediently, and countless chickens, ducks and geese were put in cages and piled on the carts.
Because everything in Chuanshan was bought separately, the people who followed didn't know how much they bought. Just looking at the 24 carts and a large number of livestock, they already felt that it was exaggerated, but they didn't know that a large amount of things had been put into Geng Er. into his storage space.
Those who came to deliver goods and vegetables only saw Geng Er put things into the cart, but they didn't know that it was just a cover, and the cart now contained only grain and cloth.
The sky was bright, but I don't know if it was because of the bad weather. Not long after leaving the city, mist appeared in the fields in front of me.
The fog became thicker and thicker. Gradually, the people following them lost their way in the fog, and could no longer find the conspicuous group in front of them.
When those people finally waited until the fog cleared and returned to the city, the legend about the two rich men in the city immediately changed.
The rich people turned into demons from the deep mountains, and the food and food were naturally brought back by the old demons to raise the little ones.
This rumor shocked all the merchants who sold things to Chuanshan, and they all ran to check whether the silver had changed. After waiting for a long time to see if the silver was still silver, they felt relieved.Some people waited for several days to make sure that the money was safe before they dared to spend it.
Later, the local government also heard the news, and took a few of the silver for verification, and found that there was no problem, and in the end it was just a joke and didn't take it to heart.Merchants are therefore more at ease.
Go back and continue talking about Chuanshan and Geng Er.
When the two returned to Mashantun, none of the people in Mashantun had woken up.
Chuanshan temporarily placed the convoy and livestock outside, and returned to Luo's house with Geng Er first.
Nothing changed in the house or when they left.
Geng Er asked Chuanshan to fish out Grandpa Luo, suck up the moisture from his body, and put him on the kang.
The liquid medicine can be used six more times, Geng Er put away the tub and liquid medicine together.
"Grandpa will be well today?"
"You don't even look at how good things I use." Geng Er pouted.
Chuanshan watched Geng Er cover his grandfather with a quilt, and stretched out his long arms to hug Geng Er.
Geng Er raised his head, Chuan Shan lowered his head, and took the opportunity to bite him.
"You have worked hard today, let's find a place to rest, and we will definitely be busy in the future."
Geng Er wiped his mouth and said seriously with a stern face: "I will keep the account for you."
"Ha!" The man laughed, and hugged Geng Er tightly.
Geng Er wanted to eat from his bosom, but he heard the man whispering in his ear: "They're still alive, they're all still alive..."
Not only his family members feel like they are in a dream, but even Chuanshan is so unsteady that he needs to hug his lover tightly to be sure of the reality.
More than 400 years of separation, more than 400 years of worry...
Seeing his family members, seeing that they are still alive, he can treat the sick and in pain, and he can also think about how to make them live a long and healthy life. All these finally relieved him of the burden that has been weighing on his heart. I worry about my family's life and health every day.
As for the various difficulties that his family is currently encountering, he firmly believes that as long as he is there, these difficulties will not become a problem.He will solve everything so that everyone in the family can live a happy life in the future.
Geng Er felt his partner's complicated thoughts, and patted him on the back in a comforting way.
"It was only after I came back that I felt that everything that happened was true. I really escaped from the black prison, stepped into the world of cultivators, met you, met the masters, and became friends with you. Shuangxiu companion... I am actually a little scared now, afraid that I am actually still in the dark prison, and all this is just a dream I had.”
Geng Er poked him, "Then I'll bite you, if you feel pain, it's real, not a dream."
Chuanshan smiled lowly, his body trembling slightly, "Okay, then you bite me."
Geng Er stood on tiptoe, opened his mouth unceremoniously and bit.
Chuanshan turned his face and put his mouth together.
Geng Erfan was bitten and whimpered.
The two bite their mouths for a long time.
Geng Er seized the opportunity, caught the man's protruding tongue with his lips, closed his two rows of glutinous rice teeth, and took a hard bite.
"Hmm..." The bite was broken.
A man who has removed half of his worries has long been dissatisfied with his partner's constant avoidance of the great and beneficial act of double cultivation with him. How can he satisfy the energy and anger he has held back for more than 400 years in just one or two visits?
He was busy on Thick Saturn before, but now he is not busy, he thinks the rest of the time can be used for double cultivation, which can improve the cultivation base and deepen the relationship between the two of them, how good is it?
The man groaned, opened his mouth to bite the chubby boy's neck, and sucked a small piece in his mouth.
Geng Er let out a low cry.
"Turtle, I want you."
Geng Er blushed and raised his foot to kick him.Don't even look at where this is, the old people are lying on the kang!
"Look, my little brother is already greeting you."
Geng Er hummed, "Your brother is sleeping."
"This brother is not that brother, you clearly know it." Chuanshan looked at him resentfully, and shamelessly sent his slightly raised lower body to Geng Er.
Geng Er looked down at him, and said very seriously: "Let me hit it once, it feels pain, and it can retreat back to sleep obediently." This is his real experience.
"It said it prefers you to pick it up." Before Geng Er objected, the impatient man had picked up his second turtle and disappeared from the earthen hut again.
However, the later development was not as satisfactory as the man thought.
Chuanshan swore that if he knew this at the time, he wouldn't let his second turtle have time to talk.
As soon as he went out, Geng Er kicked him desperately and yelled in his ear: "How long do you want the whole village to sleep? Do you want people to treat us as monsters? I don't want to be chased away again. Hey! Xiao Sex devil, do you hear that?"
Of course Chuanshan heard it, but he wanted to pretend he didn't hear it.
"Don't be in heat at every turn. Think about your grandma's broken leg, think about your family members still starving and freezing, can you do it in this situation?" Geng Er pulled his ear hard.
Chuan Shan was so angry that he raised his head to the sky and screamed, pitying him for his lust, which was abruptly extinguished by his family's second turtle with a few words.
"Little tortoise, am I such a heartless person? I purposely leaked my aura and let them fall into a deep sleep. I didn't want them to take this opportunity to repair their vitality. Anyway, we are resting anyway, why? I like you no matter what you choose.”
"I don't like it!" Geng Er tried hard to stare at him.
"I really don't like it?"
"..." Geng Er hesitated. Lying is not a good thing. After thinking about it, he blushed and said in a low voice: "After your family is settled down, can we both cultivate together?"
"Okay, I'll let you owe it first." The man was helpless.It's all softened, now even if his second turtle strips naked to seduce him, he... can't work harder.
It's just that his second turtle obviously didn't want to give him a chance to work hard, sigh!
After a while, the watchman, who was sleeping very soundly in the room, suddenly felt a chill in his nose, shivered, and was the first to wake up.
When he saw himself wearing underwear, carrying a bag, and sleeping in the house with the quilt uncovered, he was so frightened that his mind immediately cleared up.
What's going on here?How could he fall asleep?Who moved him into the house?Why didn't he feel it at all?
And... If he read correctly, the ones next to him who were drooling in sleep were the villagers who were in charge of patrolling tonight?
"It's all up! It's broken, something serious has happened! Get up quickly!" The watchman raised his drum and banged it on the patrolling villagers, trying to wake them up from their sleep.
"Well, who is so noisy, I finally got a good night's sleep." This is the person who still wants to sleep.
"Dawn? Why did I fall asleep." This is still confused.
"Is something wrong?" This is more vigilant.
When several villagers in charge of patrol woke up one after another, they looked at each other a few times, and immediately jumped off the kang and ran towards the gate together.
It was broad daylight outside.
The patrols were more vigilant than the fighters. Several people rushed out of the house, and they didn't feel relieved until they saw that the village was quiet and peaceful, and there was no foreign invasion.
"That's weird, why did everyone fall asleep together?" The patrolling villagers discussed while looking around.
"I remember smelling a particularly pleasant scent of medicine before going to bed."
"Yes! I smell it too, is it drugged?"
"I don't think anything happened in the village."
"Be careful not to make a big mistake, we'd better read it all over again."
"Strange, the scent of the medicine is gone now."
"Don't you find it strange? We sleep for a while, and even wake up for a while."
"Yeah, what you said is so strange!"
"And have you noticed that no one in the village has woken up yet." The person who spoke turned pale.
"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed, they had forgotten the most obvious bit of weirdness.
"Hurry up and find the leader. You must tell the leader about this. You guys go knock on doors and wake everyone up."
The patrolling villagers split up and ran away.
The county seat is easy to find, as long as you go to the place with the most mixed atmosphere nearby, it must be the place where the population gathers.
On the way to the county seat, Chuanshan stood on the shuttle with Geng Er in his arms and recalled the past: "My father once told me that no matter how hard an iron sword is soaked in water, it will rot, and even a stone with sharp edges will soak in water. The edges and corners of the water will also be worn away. Instead of being iron swords and stones that hurt people, it is better to be tolerant water at home, and water is not without temper.”
"Water?" Geng Er turned around and looked at this person, feeling a little like him.Strange and changeable, kind on the surface, sinister and vicious in the dark, even if you are in a desperate situation, as long as you find a little opportunity, you can find life through the cracks. When you are angry, it is like a flood. When you are in heat, it is endless. When you are gentle, it is sticky. Yes, Geng Er accidentally thought too much, his face was a little hot.
Chuanshan didn't know what Geng Er was thinking, just like chatting, he continued to talk to him in the dark night about his thoughts that he had never told others.
"My mother often told the family members at home not to let outsiders see the family jokes, and even if they wanted to quarrel, they had to close the door. So although our family has three generations in the same house and serves four elderly people together, there are few quarrels. They try not to blame me when things happen, and I try not to blame them for being partial."
Geng Er turned his head, stood on tiptoe and touched the head of his own tender grass, feeling sorry for him, this dead child must have often hid and cried secretly when he was young.
Chuanshan lowered his head and rubbed his face, "Be soft on the inside and strong on the outside. This is what I learned from my family. Because of the reputation of the bad star, I suffered a lot when I was young, and then I learned to use my brain when things happen. I know I can’t just do it blindly.”
Geng Er grabbed Chuan Shanhuan's big hand on his chest and leaned against him.
Chuan Shan rubbed against Geng Er, muttering to him about his childhood.
He talked about how he was bullied and how he got bullied back; he said how the elders in the family favored his younger siblings, but told him that the older ones should let the younger ones; that the younger siblings listened to the rumors outside and stayed away from him, which made him sad for a long time He said how happy he was that his siblings came back to him again and apologized to him.
He said that his mother blamed him personally, and that his father was making trouble everywhere; he also said how many injustices he had encountered, that his family stood up for him and quarreled with the villagers; in the end, he also said that he once liked a girl in the village, but because the other party scolded him Broomstar, he pushed her and became an enemy from then on.
Hearing this, Geng Er was blown away!
The man smirked and took several blows from the hammer, and took a few mouthfuls of the tender steamed buns along the way.
After a while, the two arrived at the largest and most populated county in the vicinity.
The word "He Yu" is engraved on the city wall, and it is about five or six hundred miles away from the refugee village in Chuanhai.
"Didn't your mother say that your sister and your brother-in-law came here to buy food? I don't know if they are still there? Maybe we can meet them." Geng Er remembered the name of the city.
Chuanshan also subconsciously searched for his sister's whereabouts.
The fourth watch has passed, and the fifth watch is approaching. It is the time when people sleep most soundly. Some people who need to get up early to do business have already lit the fire and started a day's work.In some inns, there are also guests packing and having breakfast, preparing to go on the road at dawn.
"I found them, they are in the north of the city." Chuan Shan took Geng Er straight to the north of the city.
Luo Chuanyong, Wang Luoshi is cooking breakfast on the simple stove in the courtyard of Datongpu.
This inn is the largest mule and horse inn in Heyu County. It has six courtyards, specially for merchants who have a lot of goods.The inn is very simple, there are no serious guest rooms, only Datong shop.
Tongpu is located in the yard where the mules and horses rest and store their goods. For the safety of their goods and mules and horses, the merchants do not pay special attention to their own treatment. If they pay attention to it, they will not live here.
The Chinese New Year is almost here, and there are not many merchants still walking outside at this time, and there are only a group of people from Mashan Village and their mules and horses in a large courtyard.
"Yongzi, it's so cold, why don't you sleep a little longer?" A young man who looked very neat and capable walked up behind Luo Chuanyong, wanting to take over the work from her.
Chuanyong refused, "You're already up, I can't sleep. You go and check the goods, and I'll call you when the meal is ready."
"Xia Qiu has already gone to count." The young man took the fire stick from his wife and asked her to do the light work of cooking porridge.
Chuan Shan and Geng Er arrived, but did not show up immediately.
Geng Er gave Chuan Shan a strange look.
Chuanshan was looking critically at his brother-in-law.
From the outside, his sister doesn't look like she's living well. Although the dress is clean, there are patches piled on top of each other. On the contrary, the cloth jacket worn by his brother-in-law Wang Songlin is [-]-[-]% new.
A villager came over with a pile of firewood, and greeted Wang Songlin and his wife quickly.
Wang Songlin nodded to him.
Seeing that the second-in-command and his wife were working, the villager was embarrassed to stand idle, put down the firewood, turned around and ran to feed the mules and horses.
"The third brother of the Chen family is more diligent than the others. You can see that others are still lazing in bed, but he got up when he heard us get up." Chuanyong looked at the villager and gave a compliment.
"Well, it's a winking one."
Chuanyong looked at the watery porridge, and tried to mix some wild vegetables into it, but couldn't find it anywhere.This place is barren and the weather is cold, so there are very few wild vegetables, and a few shepherd's purses outside the city are not enough for a meal.
"If we don't sell the cloth again, everyone may be hungry next meal." Chuanyong said worriedly.
"Businessmen in the city have lowered the price too low. If we just nod and sell it like this, we won't be able to sell it at a lower price in the future."
Wang Songlin was also very helpless. Everyone wanted to sell the linen as soon as possible so that they could be exchanged for grain and salt, but the cloth merchants in the city were united, no matter which one they went to, the price was the same.But at that price, they might as well keep making their own clothes.
"But we don't have the ability to go any further. You said that if we give those merchants some money..."
"It's useless." Wang Songlin shook his head. "Our cloth can't be sold for much, so how much can we bribe those merchants? Those cloth merchants don't care about our small change, and our cloth is not very good."
"Although it's not good, it's because everyone was starving and working hard to weave it. Everyone hoped that the cloth could be exchanged for food and seeds, and have a good year. Why can't those merchants..."
"Those businessmen are just like us. Everyone wants to make more money." Seeing that the fire in the stove was burning steadily, Wang Songlin took out two sticks of firewood and slowly boiled the porridge on the stove, then got up and walked over to comfort his wife.
"Don't worry, it's not that our cloth can't be sold, it's just that I want to raise the price a bit more. Today I'll go find Lao Zhao later. He's probably the best talker among those cloth merchants. I beg him, if he can add a little more, I will sell him the cloth. We exchange grain and salt, so we can go back sooner.”
"Songlin, it's hard for you." Chuanyong caressed her husband's lapel.It's a pity that they can't afford better clothes, and they don't have extra money to buy clothes. The husband can only dress so poorly to talk business with people.
It sounds like a business deal, but is it actually bending down to beg for help?Those merchants only looked at the clothes and didn't know how much embarrassment they had caused their husband, but fortunately her husband was able to endure them all.
"It's not hard for me, it's you who worked hard. You've been married to me for almost two years, and I didn't let you live a good life, and even let you run around with me in public." Seeing no one around, Wang Songlin sneaked up on his wife He put his little hand to his mouth and breathed.
"Fool, that's my choice." Chuanyong lowered his head and pursed his lips into a smile, and the young couple gradually moved closer together.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I have counted all the goods, and there is not a piece of cloth missing." An eleven or two-year-old boy ran over like an adult and shouted.
The young couple quickly separated.
Chuanshan was barely satisfied.
His sister lived in poverty, but the happiness in her eyes and on her face was not fake. It seemed that Wang Songlin was not only a responsible and bloody man, but also knew how to be gentle and considerate to his wife.The most important thing is that he is not blindly strong, but also knows how to lower his head for the sake of life.
But that wasn't enough, he had to take another look.
That child is Wang Songlin's younger brother, right?Looks good, and a little familiar.Huh?look familiar?
Chuanshan was about to look at the child carefully.
"You want to keep peeking at them like this?" Geng Er poked him, "Your grandpa is still soaking in the bucket, or should I go back first?"
Chuanshan realized that by the way, he was here to deal with business.Now that you see that your sister and brother-in-law are fine, you might as well let them go and do the important things first.
"No, let them do their business, let's do ours, let's go."
Before dawn that day, two rich young masters who behaved strangely but spent a lot of money appeared in Heyu County.
The two rich young masters are naturally Chuanshan and Geng Er. They first went to the largest restaurant in the area, called the shopkeeper, and offered him a large sum of money to make as many dishes as he could within two hours. Don't be precious as long as it is delicious, including the dishes sent out of the city, and finally settle the money according to the amount of dishes sent.
In order to save time, they asked the shopkeeper to find other restaurants and restaurants to cook together, no matter how much they made, they would accept it.
The shopkeeper was well-informed, and he didn't talk too much about asking the guests what they wanted so much food and drink for. Looking at the silver ingots they left behind, no less than 500 taels, after confirming that they were real silver one by one, he felt that he would not suffer a loss, so he waved his hand. Let the guys below get busy.
Then Chuanshan and the two went to the largest carriage and horse dealer in the area and bought all the carriages and horses they could sell without any bargaining.
The owner of the chariot and horse shop was both surprised and happy, afraid of being fooled, and even asked an old man to verify the authenticity of the money, and after confirming that it was pure silver with the official seal, he laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.As long as the money is real, who can be unhappy to make such a big business just after opening the door early in the morning?
Chuanshan and the two bought 24 carts and 48 mules.Two mules and one cart walked easily.
The owner of the chariot and horse shop temporarily traded chariots and horses with other chariot and horse shops because of insufficient stock.
When Chuanshan saw the two tall horses without variegated colors in the carriage and horse shop, he was tempted for a moment, so he simply bought them with money.
The combined price of these two adult colts was more expensive than twenty mules. The owner of the car and horse tour boasted that the two horses were rare in the sky and nothing on the ground, and it was normal to travel thousands of miles a day.
Geng Er didn't understand what Chuanshan was doing to buy horses. At first, he thought there was something special about these two black horses, but he took a good look at them. After watching for a long time, he came to the conclusion that they were "normal horses". Maybe run a little faster than normal horses.
Chuanshan didn't have the nerve to tell Geng Er the truth. In fact, he bought the horse to put it bluntly...just for the sake of face.
Not counting last night, today he will show up in front of all the villagers in Mashantun.As a man, of course, a tall horse is indispensable when you are in the limelight.
The carriage and horses were bought, and the two of them didn't need a coachman, so they asked the chariot dealer to put on the mules. After checking that there was no problem, Geng Er picked up the whip provided by the chariot dealer and slapped it, and the 48 mules all behaved obediently. They dragged their carts and lined up behind the two. No mule dared to overtake the car, and no mule dared to be lazy or play a temper tantrum.
Not to mention that the chariot dealers were very surprised at the fat boy's ability to tame the mules and horses, and that the two of them split up after buying the chariots and horses. business.
In order not to disturb the government, Chuanshan approached three grain merchants respectively, and gave them cash with the official stamp on the spot, and bought one-third of the three grain merchants' stocks according to their storage volume.They also asked them to help buy all kinds of good varieties of grains and vegetables suitable for the local land.
While the grain merchants were delivering goods outside the city, Chuanshan bought a large amount of steamed buns, pancakes, stewed vegetables, salty goods, various sauces and cooking ingredients; Pig farmers send hundreds of fat pigs outside the city, and piglets are also needed; after buying pigs, chickens, ducks and geese are also indispensable Place.
He is not afraid of people repudiating his debts, and he is not afraid of people shoddying good ones. Taking his money is a contract. If he doesn't counter the price, others can't cheat him, otherwise there will be backlash from the contract waiting.
Seeing that it was too cold, Chuanshan went to the winery to buy a lot of wine.
After buying food and drinks, the rest is to buy cotton and cloth. Chuanshan didn't go directly to buy the goods of his sister and brother-in-law. He just bought more than half of the existing cloth in the county. With such a sale, they must not be able to sell it The cloth will be sold easily.
As for why Chuanshan didn't go directly to his sister and brother-in-law?
Have you bought your own goods to give gifts to your family?
And from Chuanshan's point of view, even if he wants to help them, he has other methods. What's the point of subsidizing them with more than ten taels of silver?
Chuanshan bought a lot of cotton, cloth, brocade, ready-made clothes, shoes and socks, and even needlework.He also changed two boxes of big money.
This series of purchases is a long story, but the speed of transmission is quite fast, and it took only two hours to complete everything. After all, money can turn ghosts around. As long as there is real money, all problems will no longer be problem.
In the end, Chuanshan wanted to buy some salt, but he needed a salt ticket, and if he wanted to buy a large amount of salt at one time, he needed a salt certificate issued by the government.Although he can buy it by spending money to find someone, but firstly it is too troublesome, and secondly it is more conspicuous, so he will give up after thinking about it.
He thought it over, if his brother really planned to settle down in Mashantun, he would find out if there was a salt mine nearby, and just get him a salt well.
On this day, the merchants in Heyu County were all overjoyed. It took many years to see such a generous man, and he didn’t even ask for a bargain. Few people can live a prosperous and good year.
Happy to be happy, but many people are curious, why does this generous man buy so many things?And it's all clothes and food?
Some people said that the old man was having a wedding at home, and because he was in a hurry and had no time to prepare, he came out to buy temporarily.
Some people also said that the old man's family suffered a catastrophe, and he had nothing but money, so he came out to make up for the lack.
There are even those with rich imagination, guessing that the master predicted that there will be a catastrophe here, so he bought a lot of food and clothes in advance and hid them at home.
Curious and smart people are never uncommon. When Chuan Shan went to join Geng Er outside the city, someone secretly followed them.
Chuan Shan and Geng Er knew that there were people following behind them, but they ignored them.
Those people saw that they were riding tall horses, followed by 24 carts, hundreds of livestock followed obediently, and countless chickens, ducks and geese were put in cages and piled on the carts.
Because everything in Chuanshan was bought separately, the people who followed didn't know how much they bought. Just looking at the 24 carts and a large number of livestock, they already felt that it was exaggerated, but they didn't know that a large amount of things had been put into Geng Er. into his storage space.
Those who came to deliver goods and vegetables only saw Geng Er put things into the cart, but they didn't know that it was just a cover, and the cart now contained only grain and cloth.
The sky was bright, but I don't know if it was because of the bad weather. Not long after leaving the city, mist appeared in the fields in front of me.
The fog became thicker and thicker. Gradually, the people following them lost their way in the fog, and could no longer find the conspicuous group in front of them.
When those people finally waited until the fog cleared and returned to the city, the legend about the two rich men in the city immediately changed.
The rich people turned into demons from the deep mountains, and the food and food were naturally brought back by the old demons to raise the little ones.
This rumor shocked all the merchants who sold things to Chuanshan, and they all ran to check whether the silver had changed. After waiting for a long time to see if the silver was still silver, they felt relieved.Some people waited for several days to make sure that the money was safe before they dared to spend it.
Later, the local government also heard the news, and took a few of the silver for verification, and found that there was no problem, and in the end it was just a joke and didn't take it to heart.Merchants are therefore more at ease.
Go back and continue talking about Chuanshan and Geng Er.
When the two returned to Mashantun, none of the people in Mashantun had woken up.
Chuanshan temporarily placed the convoy and livestock outside, and returned to Luo's house with Geng Er first.
Nothing changed in the house or when they left.
Geng Er asked Chuanshan to fish out Grandpa Luo, suck up the moisture from his body, and put him on the kang.
The liquid medicine can be used six more times, Geng Er put away the tub and liquid medicine together.
"Grandpa will be well today?"
"You don't even look at how good things I use." Geng Er pouted.
Chuanshan watched Geng Er cover his grandfather with a quilt, and stretched out his long arms to hug Geng Er.
Geng Er raised his head, Chuan Shan lowered his head, and took the opportunity to bite him.
"You have worked hard today, let's find a place to rest, and we will definitely be busy in the future."
Geng Er wiped his mouth and said seriously with a stern face: "I will keep the account for you."
"Ha!" The man laughed, and hugged Geng Er tightly.
Geng Er wanted to eat from his bosom, but he heard the man whispering in his ear: "They're still alive, they're all still alive..."
Not only his family members feel like they are in a dream, but even Chuanshan is so unsteady that he needs to hug his lover tightly to be sure of the reality.
More than 400 years of separation, more than 400 years of worry...
Seeing his family members, seeing that they are still alive, he can treat the sick and in pain, and he can also think about how to make them live a long and healthy life. All these finally relieved him of the burden that has been weighing on his heart. I worry about my family's life and health every day.
As for the various difficulties that his family is currently encountering, he firmly believes that as long as he is there, these difficulties will not become a problem.He will solve everything so that everyone in the family can live a happy life in the future.
Geng Er felt his partner's complicated thoughts, and patted him on the back in a comforting way.
"It was only after I came back that I felt that everything that happened was true. I really escaped from the black prison, stepped into the world of cultivators, met you, met the masters, and became friends with you. Shuangxiu companion... I am actually a little scared now, afraid that I am actually still in the dark prison, and all this is just a dream I had.”
Geng Er poked him, "Then I'll bite you, if you feel pain, it's real, not a dream."
Chuanshan smiled lowly, his body trembling slightly, "Okay, then you bite me."
Geng Er stood on tiptoe, opened his mouth unceremoniously and bit.
Chuanshan turned his face and put his mouth together.
Geng Erfan was bitten and whimpered.
The two bite their mouths for a long time.
Geng Er seized the opportunity, caught the man's protruding tongue with his lips, closed his two rows of glutinous rice teeth, and took a hard bite.
"Hmm..." The bite was broken.
A man who has removed half of his worries has long been dissatisfied with his partner's constant avoidance of the great and beneficial act of double cultivation with him. How can he satisfy the energy and anger he has held back for more than 400 years in just one or two visits?
He was busy on Thick Saturn before, but now he is not busy, he thinks the rest of the time can be used for double cultivation, which can improve the cultivation base and deepen the relationship between the two of them, how good is it?
The man groaned, opened his mouth to bite the chubby boy's neck, and sucked a small piece in his mouth.
Geng Er let out a low cry.
"Turtle, I want you."
Geng Er blushed and raised his foot to kick him.Don't even look at where this is, the old people are lying on the kang!
"Look, my little brother is already greeting you."
Geng Er hummed, "Your brother is sleeping."
"This brother is not that brother, you clearly know it." Chuanshan looked at him resentfully, and shamelessly sent his slightly raised lower body to Geng Er.
Geng Er looked down at him, and said very seriously: "Let me hit it once, it feels pain, and it can retreat back to sleep obediently." This is his real experience.
"It said it prefers you to pick it up." Before Geng Er objected, the impatient man had picked up his second turtle and disappeared from the earthen hut again.
However, the later development was not as satisfactory as the man thought.
Chuanshan swore that if he knew this at the time, he wouldn't let his second turtle have time to talk.
As soon as he went out, Geng Er kicked him desperately and yelled in his ear: "How long do you want the whole village to sleep? Do you want people to treat us as monsters? I don't want to be chased away again. Hey! Xiao Sex devil, do you hear that?"
Of course Chuanshan heard it, but he wanted to pretend he didn't hear it.
"Don't be in heat at every turn. Think about your grandma's broken leg, think about your family members still starving and freezing, can you do it in this situation?" Geng Er pulled his ear hard.
Chuan Shan was so angry that he raised his head to the sky and screamed, pitying him for his lust, which was abruptly extinguished by his family's second turtle with a few words.
"Little tortoise, am I such a heartless person? I purposely leaked my aura and let them fall into a deep sleep. I didn't want them to take this opportunity to repair their vitality. Anyway, we are resting anyway, why? I like you no matter what you choose.”
"I don't like it!" Geng Er tried hard to stare at him.
"I really don't like it?"
"..." Geng Er hesitated. Lying is not a good thing. After thinking about it, he blushed and said in a low voice: "After your family is settled down, can we both cultivate together?"
"Okay, I'll let you owe it first." The man was helpless.It's all softened, now even if his second turtle strips naked to seduce him, he... can't work harder.
It's just that his second turtle obviously didn't want to give him a chance to work hard, sigh!
After a while, the watchman, who was sleeping very soundly in the room, suddenly felt a chill in his nose, shivered, and was the first to wake up.
When he saw himself wearing underwear, carrying a bag, and sleeping in the house with the quilt uncovered, he was so frightened that his mind immediately cleared up.
What's going on here?How could he fall asleep?Who moved him into the house?Why didn't he feel it at all?
And... If he read correctly, the ones next to him who were drooling in sleep were the villagers who were in charge of patrolling tonight?
"It's all up! It's broken, something serious has happened! Get up quickly!" The watchman raised his drum and banged it on the patrolling villagers, trying to wake them up from their sleep.
"Well, who is so noisy, I finally got a good night's sleep." This is the person who still wants to sleep.
"Dawn? Why did I fall asleep." This is still confused.
"Is something wrong?" This is more vigilant.
When several villagers in charge of patrol woke up one after another, they looked at each other a few times, and immediately jumped off the kang and ran towards the gate together.
It was broad daylight outside.
The patrols were more vigilant than the fighters. Several people rushed out of the house, and they didn't feel relieved until they saw that the village was quiet and peaceful, and there was no foreign invasion.
"That's weird, why did everyone fall asleep together?" The patrolling villagers discussed while looking around.
"I remember smelling a particularly pleasant scent of medicine before going to bed."
"Yes! I smell it too, is it drugged?"
"I don't think anything happened in the village."
"Be careful not to make a big mistake, we'd better read it all over again."
"Strange, the scent of the medicine is gone now."
"Don't you find it strange? We sleep for a while, and even wake up for a while."
"Yeah, what you said is so strange!"
"And have you noticed that no one in the village has woken up yet." The person who spoke turned pale.
"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed, they had forgotten the most obvious bit of weirdness.
"Hurry up and find the leader. You must tell the leader about this. You guys go knock on doors and wake everyone up."
The patrolling villagers split up and ran away.
