Chapter 1: Luo Yu and Luo Hua
Outside Yuqing Mountain, there are only a few dozen dilapidated villages.
People work at sunrise, rest at sunrise, dig wells and drink, plough fields and eat.
Although the life is poor, it is also a very appropriate life.
Outside of the village, there are several teahouses made of wool and grass, serving a bowl of strong tea to passing merchants and swordsmen.
As the saying goes, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to eat the water, this Yuqing Mountain is rich in medicinal materials, and the beasts are also infested for a long time.
In order to ensure their own safety, these merchants usually hire a few knife men to protect them and avoid being robbed on the road.
These merchants would also collect some beast skins, which were also very profitable to transport to the city, and also added an extra income to the hunters here.
Therefore, in addition to farming, people here often go into the mountains to hunt to supplement their families.
A bowl of strong tea is fresh and refreshing, which makes people full of praise.
It's not enough to make a living.
"Luo Xiaoer, come to five bowls of strong tea. ”
"Okay, five big bowls of strong tea!"
I saw a boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, shuttling through these business trips from time to time, and his movements were also unusually swift, without the slightest drag on the mud and water.
This young man called Luo Xiaoer's name is called Luo Yu, but he is affectionately called Luo Xiaoer by these business travelers, they are already very familiar, and they will come to this Yuqing Mountain on time at this time of year to buy goods.
Luo Yu looks unusually delicate, if you just look at her face and dress up a little and say that she is a girl, some people will believe it.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Luo Yu shaved his hair into a full head of short hair, which not only looked extremely capable, but also added a touch of masculinity to his bronzed skin and slightly bulging muscles.
Compared with his handsome appearance, this young man's body is slightly flawed.
I saw that it was hunched over, and there was a high bulge on its back, which was unusually conspicuous.
It's a pity to look like this at such a young age.
"Boss Li, why is it late this year, I'm a little in a hurry!" Luo Yu looked at the business trip in front of him, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"What's the matter? What's your kid doing this year?"
"That's right, this year's fur is absolutely satisfying to you, and the number is thirty percent more than last year! And there's a fine fur!"
Hearing this, Boss Li's eyes also had a glimmer of light, but as a businessman, he also hid it in time.
"Don't bluff me, you kid, what good goods can you have, don't forget that I didn't make any money from those hares and goat skins you got before, if it weren't for your pity, I wouldn't have bothered to accept your goods!"
"Boss Li, you can rest assured this time, I, Luo Xiaoer, am a talker, and I don't want today's tea money!"
"Well, you're still sensible, I'll go over and see the goods later. ”
"Okay, you use it slowly!"
Hearing this, Luo Yu also let out a long breath, if they can't sell these furs this year, then they will be sad in the second half of the year, after all, when it comes to winter, his tea shop business will be much bleaker.
And he also wants to build a weapon in the near future, as long as he can sell this fur, then he can save enough money, which is something he has been looking forward to for a long time.
"High-grade spotted leopard skin, you kid can do it, this is a very rare animal skin, how did you get it!"
Looking at the spotted leopard in front of him, there was not the slightest damage to the fur, and Boss Li was also in disbelief.
You must know that the spotted leopard is an extremely ferocious beast, not only extremely fast but also attack power should not be underestimated, some adults have no way to take it, and it actually appeared in the hands of a boy who is only thirteen or fourteen years old.
You must know that this fur is sold in the city, and the profit is also unusually considerable, after all, it is rare and expensive, and there is no trace of defects, which is even more rare.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Boss Li's mouth.
"Boss Li, I squatted for three days and three nights, and carefully set up a few traps to capture him. And he was almost bitten by it, and his life was almost lost!" Luo Yu said with a palpitating look in his eyes.
"Okay, for the sake of our trading years, I'll give you ten taels of silver as you like, and I want all the furs here! This is the highest price I can give you!" said Boss Li as he looked at the other furs that were bundled together.
Hearing this, Luo Yu's eyes were also a little hesitant, and he didn't know what to do for a while, the weapon he fancied also needed ten taels of silver, if it was sold at this price, then they would only be able to drink porridge in the second half of the year!
"Boss Li, you just show mercy and give more!" Luo Yu looked at Boss Li with a pleading look.
"Okay, good, I see that you are pitiful, I will give you all my profits, and you can't add more than twelve taels at most!
"Okay, I agree!
Luo Yu gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, after all, there are many taels of silver, as long as they save flowers, the normal expenses are still enough for them.
The corners of Boss Li's mouth, who was about to walk out of the room, were also slowly raised, but when he looked at Luo Yu in his reincarnation, there was an expression of loss on his face.
"I'll just say, where can you find a good person like me, I am the only one here who can give you such a high price, and no one else can even think about it!
The men also understood it, and hurriedly loaded the furs into the carriage that was already waiting outside the door.
"No, you can order twelve taels, I'm adding ten cents to you, this is our tea money, I'm not a person who takes advantage of others!"
Boss Li looks like a good man, and even almost touched himself, in fact, at this time his heart has already blossomed, if this is a hand, it is conservatively estimated that it can be nearly a hundred taels, this is a profitable business.
At this moment, the curtain of the inner door was lifted. A tall figure walked out with a somewhat stumbling step.
It was a middle-aged man, who looked to be close to forty years old, but he was very tall and burly, but his dress was not flattering.
The torn robe was worn on his body, and there were not even patches on it, revealing the bronzed skin underneath.
The facial features that were originally quite upright were covered with a layer of waxy yellow, with sleepy eyes, hair messy like a bird's nest, and a beard that had not been tidied up for I don't know how many days.
His eyes were dull and yellow, and he was holding a wine jug in his hand, and the smell of wine on his body still made Luo Yu frown.
"Stop!"
Boss Li had already stepped out of the door, but when he heard the voice behind him, his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Brother Luo, have you just woken up? I still have two jars of good wine here, let them bring them to you later!"
Boss Li is such a smart person, he knows that he is at a loss, and he hurriedly diverts the topic at this time.
"Stop!"
A deep voice sounded again, and there was a hint of majesty in his tone, but it was hidden by the smell of wine on his body.
"Brother Luo, why do you still need anything?
"Fifty taels!"
The man picked up the wine bottle in his hand and took another sip of it, without even looking up at Boss Li.
"We are also a small business, fifty taels is really a bit much, for your sake, I will add ten taels to you!"
At this time, Boss Li also knew that he was at a loss, and after a little hesitation, he also hurriedly said.
"Sixty taels!" the man said again with a blank face.
Hearing this, Luo Yu, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the man standing beside him.
When he heard Boss Li say that he added ten taels, it was far beyond his imagination, and when he wanted to agree, he didn't expect it to be sixty taels.
Hearing this, not only did he not lower the price, but it increased by ten taels compared to the previous one, Boss Li's face also slowly froze, and his eyes were also scanning back and forth on the spotted leopard skin and the middle-aged man's body, as if he was hesitating about something?
And the swordsman standing beside him has already put his hand on the handle of his knife, as long as Boss Li gives an order, then they will not hesitate to make a move.
After a long time, Boss Li also secretly sighed, after all, as a businessman, what he pursues is harmony, and as a last resort, he will not easily tear his face, after all, he will come here in the coming year, and it will be bad for him to make his reputation stink.
Slowly, he took out a few ingots of silver from his clothes, counted them down to fifty taels, and put them on the ground.
Without too many words, the smile on his face disappeared, and after making a glance with the swordsman next to him, he turned to leave.
Looking at the fifty taels of silver in front of him, Luo Yu had never seen so much money since he was a child, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and he felt like he was dreaming.
The middle-aged man casually took the silver two in front of him in his hand, threw two without looking back to Luo Yu, who was still standing in place, and walked towards the village.
Looking at the swaying wine bottle, Luo Yu knew that he must go to the village to drink again.
And the man in front of him is his father!
Luo Hua, a former disciple of Qimen......
