In the years of ancient traders

Song Anan rolled over, brushed the clothes he threw by the river, and took out a dagger.

Song Shu hid behind the tree, almost stopped breathing.

The wild boar was very big, and somehow stimulated, it rushed towards Anan aggressively.

Fortunately, Anan was agile, turned around, made a detour, and led the wild boar to the other side.

Song Shu, who was hiding behind the tree, could not see and was about to come out.Just heard a shout: "Don't come out!"

It's Song Anan.

Song Shu was just curious at first, but he became worried after being called out like this.

He quickly rushed out from behind the tree, only to see the wild boar shaking its head, twisting its buttocks, and roaring frantically.

And Song Ananguang sat on the pig with his body, and inserted the dagger into the wild boar's neck, and the blood spurted out quickly.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Song Shu relaxed.

The wild boar was still dying, but it was useless, and soon Song Anan drained its blood and came back dragging the wild boar's thighs.

He's naked and dragging his prey.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a primitive man who came back from hunting.

Song Anan went into the water to wash it again, and then brought the wild boar back to the camp. The people in the team were very happy to see this prey covered in meat.They came out with only dry food, which was not the same as the food in Linzhou City.

The men under Song Shu cooperated with the soldiers under Anan to peel off the fur of the wild boar, cut the meat into large pieces and roast them for eating.

"Your arm needs medicine." Song Shu grabbed Anan.

In order to protect him just now, Anan rolled onto the ground naked, with a lot of bruises on his legs and arms.

Although this injury is not a serious injury, if it is not treated with medicine, it will be enough to torture people.

"Here." Yin Sheng took a nap not far away, and suddenly threw a bottle of medicine.

"Thank you, Second Brother Yin." Song Shu said.Sure enough, he is still an older brother, and he always takes care of his younger brother.

Yin Sheng glanced at Song Anan: "My wound medicine is very effective, but it hurts a lot when it is sprinkled on it. Don't cry for a while."

"No!" Song Anan retorted.

Is he the one who cries?Do not make jokes!

"Pain..." As soon as the medicine was applied, Song Anan pitifully tugged at Song Shu's cuff.

"It hurts so much?" Song Shu was so distressed that he didn't dare to sprinkle any more medicine, "I'll blow it on for you." He lowered his head and gently blew over the scrape on Song Anan's calf injury.

Song Anan was tugging on Song Shu's sleeve, but as soon as the breath hit his calf, his hand became stiff, and the sleeve easily slipped out of his hand.

"Does it still hurt?" Song Shu raised his head and asked.

Song Anan's heart was beating fast, he was a little hot, what is the pain?

He nodded: "It hurts."

"Tut tsk tsk." Yin Sheng turned over and stood up.

Even if his younger brother was shot right through by an arrow, he might not make a sound. Does this scratch hurt?Who are you bluffing?Not to mention, the medicine he gave contained labor pain ingredients, so it hurts, only Song Silang would believe it.

After Anan's face softened a little, Song Shu started to apply the medicine again, and it took a long time to apply the medicine while blowing.

The others had already finished the barbecue and were going to rest for a while before going on the road.There was only a little bit of residual heat left in the fire, and the barbecue left for Song Shu and Anan was placed on it.

The team was full of rough men, and the roasted meat was big and big. Song Anan took the meat off the rack and cut it into small pieces with a cleaned dagger for Song Shu to eat.

When Song Shu ate a piece, he peeled off a piece, which made his soldiers beside him stunned.

"Forgive me." When Song Shu was happy, Song Anan seized the opportunity to ask for forgiveness again.

In order to protect him from being injured, Song Anan cut meat for him so carefully, Song Shu was too embarrassed to get angry again, so he only said a few words to him in a pretentious manner.Anan didn't refute at all, and nodded seriously.

After eating and resting for a while, the team continued to move forward. After walking for more than ten days, they came to a small town in the southern border.

There is also a Songji hot pot restaurant in the town, which is the only decent restaurant here.

After walking for two more days, they will be able to reach the tribe where Wu Shichang and the others were detained. Song Shu decided to take a break now, and asked Song Anan to send his scouts to investigate first.

Under Yin Sheng's treatment, the wounded man who escaped has also recovered a lot.

Talk to them about the details of the time.

"When we went there, we drove lightly and didn't disturb them, but when we came back, we had already brought a lot of stones, and the movement was really big. The plants in the forest were densely grown. In order to facilitate the carriage, we had to cut down some trees, but they found them. It's..." the man recalled.

There are many uncivilized tribes in the southern border area, and they still live a life of slash-and-burn farming.

Although the fighting power is definitely not as good as the people sent by Song Shu, they are better at being familiar with the terrain, and the wounded said that the people in the tribe attacked by surprise, their weapons were smeared with medicine, and their limbs would go numb when they were injured.

The wounded who escaped were also poisoned with this medicine.

"It's not poison." Yin Sheng said, it's just that it will lose combat effectiveness, and it will be healed after two hours.

The wounded man nodded, that was indeed the case, otherwise he would not have been able to run back to Linzhou alone to ask for help.

"Report to General." The scout sent by Song Anan came back soon, "This tribe is not big, about a hundred people. The subordinates saw a man who looked like Wu Shichang from a distance. He showed no signs of injury. The others who were trapped People should be fine."

"That's good." Song Shu said.

This is the only way from Rila Mountain to Linzhou. If he wants to do cement business in the future, the limestone from Rila Mountain is an indispensable raw material.

If this tribe did not harm Wu Shichang and the others, they could naturally choose a more gentle way to negotiate with them.But if something happened to Wu Shichang and the others, Song Shu was not in the mood to greet others with a smile after being beaten, and he would definitely come back with revenge.

In this way, things may become big and troublesome.

Now that the people of this tribe know each other, it is not too embarrassing, but it is a good thing, and they can spend less effort.

"Some of this tribe should have come from the Central Plains. I heard that they occasionally speak official language, but they don't speak it very fluently." The scout said again.

The Central Plains dynasty was prosperous, and although the border tribes were slash-and-burn, it did not prevent them from going to fairs from time to time to exchange some living supplies. This must be how they slowly learned Mandarin.

In the evening, Song Shu discussed countermeasures with Anan.

Song Anan advocated hitting them directly and crushing them with violence.

Those prairie tribes in the north also come to invade from time to time, just conquer them.

At first glance, Song Anan and Yin Rong are quiet and unmoving, unlike father and son, but some concepts in his bones are really carved out of the same mold.

"You can't fight directly." Song Shu said, "The Yin family is becoming more and more powerful now, and it is the time when everyone is staring at me. Not to mention that resolving it with violence may cause disasters for my future business, and it may also be used by those who want to , spreading news that is not good for the Yin family."

Yin Heng has been operating in Yicheng for many years and has created a very good image for the Yin family.

Nowadays, not only the people of the original Yicheng Qizhou, but even the people in the territory that was conquered later, even the people in the Jianghuai area, have a good impression of the Yin family.

This goodwill is not easy to come by, and it will be more useful in the future, so it cannot be easily defeated.

"Just now the scouts said that Wu Shichang was left behind by the people of the tribe, and they can even move freely within a certain range, which shows that they also have something to ask from the original people among us." Song Shu said.

If you want something from each other, you can exchange and negotiate.

Compared with simple and brutal violent crushing, Song Shu still prefers this method.

But, who is going to talk about it?

Song Shuben said he would go by himself, but Song Anan was 1 unhappy, and his face turned dark immediately.

And it's impossible for Song Anan to go to this matter, he can't speak official Chinese well, so he can't understand his three-character classic, but don't fight again at that time, and his negotiation will be ruined.

During dinner the next day, Song Shu was still pondering over this issue.

"Little brother, give your brother another pig's brain." Yin Sheng chewed on the tripe and ordered Song Anan to boil something for him.

"Go." Song Anan casually pointed to a soldier.

The younger brother didn't come, but instead brought a thick and strong bodyguard.How can a soldier be as fun as a younger brother, Yin Sheng immediately let people go, and resentfully ate his own pig's brains.

They lived in Song Ji's hot pot restaurant for the past two days, and their food was much better than before.

It was the first time for Yin Sheng to eat hot pot, and he made a kind of medicinal pot bottom for clearing away heat and detoxification. Song Shu wrote down the recipe and planned to go back and sell it in the store.

"Hoo hoo," Yin Sheng exhaled as he ate something hot.

Song Shu sat next to Yin Sheng with a plate of duck intestines in his hand: "Second brother Yin, try this, it's crunchy and delicious."

Yin Sheng glanced at him, but he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

"The duck neck is the same as the tripe, and it's very particular about how to move it up and down. Once you scald it, pick it up, and then scald it again. Repeat this cycle several times, and the duck intestine will be more crispy." Song Shu said, and he also picked up a duck intestine. , I demonstrated it myself.

Song Anan also followed and brought the bowl to Song Shu, expressing that he wanted to eat too.

He took the duck intestines that were supposed to go into Yin Sheng's plate.

"Anan doesn't talk much, but elder brother Yin and second elder brother are different from him." Song Shu said.

Yin Sheng's duck intestines were robbed by Song Anan, so he had to rely on his own efforts. He fumbled the duck intestines while talking to Song Shu: "It's rare to see such a boring gourd like him."

"A'nan is actually very smart, brother Yin is also unparalleled, and the second brother is proficient in medicine, so he is definitely not bad." Song Shu said, pouring three pig brains into the pot.

"Song Silang, why don't you just say it, what do you want to deceive me about?" Yin Sheng said.

He hasn't returned for many years, and he doesn't know what Hengzhou looks like now, but he still knows that Song Ji has a very close relationship with the Yin family.This Song Silang has been with Yin Heng for a long time, and his speech is more and more similar to him, mother-in-law.

"negotiation."

Having been exposed of his intentions, Song Shu didn't panic, and said in a leisurely manner.

"No." Yin Sheng rebuffed, "You let Xiao Min go."

"A'nan just came back from the northern border. The road was full of dust and dust. He hasn't had a good rest yet. It's not suitable for negotiation." Song Shu said.

"Then you go by yourself." Yin Sheng said.

Song Shu shrugged and looked at Anan.

"No." Anan said firmly.

"My younger brother is from a farming family, and I haven't seen any big scenes. Of course, I still want Mr. Yin to join the horse." Song Shu said again.

Yin Sheng didn't drink his ecstasy soup, but ate the hot pot sullenly.

"Brother." Song Anan said suddenly.

"Damn it! Where is it?" Yin Sheng jumped up, throwing the hot pot soup all over the table.

He looked around, but there was no trace of Yin Heng.

"Boy, lie to me." Yin Sheng sat down again, pointed at Song Anan with chopsticks.

"If you don't go, call Big Brother." Song Anan said, "Come here, look."

As soon as Song Anan gave an order, his soldiers immediately stepped forward. Yin Sheng was a first-year doctor, surrounded by a group of well-trained elite soldiers, and he was no longer as calm as before.

"If you have something to say, you have something to say, so why don't I go to negotiate? Don't hand me over to the elder brother, he can take my skin off!" Yin Sheng shouted.
