664. Tinder on the Prairie
After Yan Liuyuan, Hassan and the others left, Su Lei, who was parked in the distance, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this transaction was too important to him.
What Yan Liuyuan said just now was right, he did smash the pot and sell iron to get these goods, and even took a small gold bar that he treasured to exchange.
The last gold bar on the bandit's body was hidden in the waistband of his trousers, and when he was worried about his life, this gold bar was a life-saving entanglement on the road.
Of course, only the more successful horse bandits could buy such a gold bar and hide it in the waistband of their trousers.
This small gold bar is about 50 grams, passed down from his grandfather's generation, and Su Lei took it from his father's hand, but he didn't expect it to break at his end here.
The money he got today was Su Lei's last belongings, all of which were exchanged for medicines and iron items, if Yan Liuyuan didn't come today, then he could only go to the market town to set up a stall.
None of the people in the stockade understood why Su Lei was so desperate.
But to be honest, Su Lei really thinks that the opening of the Northwest Trade Route is an opportunity for everyone, and it depends on him whether he can seize it.
At this time, Wang Ergou, who was next to Su Lei with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks, instigated: "Big brother, I have carefully observed, these people don't even have a gun, they are all knives, we have three earthen guns here, although there are many of them, but there are guns in the house There is no need to be afraid at all, how about it, kill them." ”
This person was really a little red when he saw the fur brought by Yan Liuyuan, after all, nine-tenths of the fur was brought back by Yan Liuyuan.
That's nine-tenths of that converted into money, but it's nearly a million!
The team of horse bandits suddenly fell silent, and Su Lei looked at Wang Ergou: "Robbed it, and then what?"
"This million is enough for our brother to eat and drink for the rest of his life, big brother, let's do this vote," he responded.
Su Lei smiled: "My ambition, one million is not enough." ”
After saying that, Su Lei led the team to the south, and their stockade was on the way from the Central Plains to the northwest.
On the way back, Su Lei found an opportunity to explain to Cui Qiang: "After returning to the village, find an opportunity to kill Wang Ergou quietly." ”
Cui Qiang was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Lei, he seemed to be puzzled by this decision, but in the end he didn't refute it, just nodded and agreed.
Su Lei glanced at him and said with a smile: "This Wang Ergou is too capable of causing trouble, the last time he fought with Hexi Village, wasn't it because he hooked up with the wife of the second head of the family, and he hasn't hooked up yet." If we want to take the right path in the future, this kind of person can't stay. ”
Maybe Su Lei could give Wang Ergou some money to let him leave to earn a living, but Su Lei was worried that this kind of person would leave resentment in his heart and give him extraneous branches.
So, it's better to kill it directly.
Su Lei is a horse bandit who licks blood at the tip of a knife to beg for a living, and he looks very polite in front of Yan Liuyuan, but he never hesitates to kill people.
Now that Su Lei wants to change his face, people like Wang Ergou must not stay.
Cui Qiang didn't speak, he was just a thug, there was no need to think so much, and he had already seen that Wang Ergou was unpleasant, and he would kill him if he killed him.
......
It took Yan Liuyuan two days to return to the tribe with Hassan, the horses are all fast horses, and the horses that have evolved on the grassland are like the divine horses in the storyteller's story, when the horses run, the sweat on the horses is rising from the cold air is making white mist.
The first thing Yan Liuyuan did when he returned to the tribe was to bother Sister Xiaoyu to cook a small pot of cabbage for herself.
Hassan watched in amazement, and he noticed that his master had a happy smile on his face when he ate the cabbage.
"Master, is it so delicious?" Qiqige next to her watched from the side, she is Hassan's daughter, and now she spends most of her time in Yan Liuyuan's tent, which is still explained by Hassan.
However, Yan Liuyuan didn't bother when she thought about things, and accompanied Yan Liuyuan in a daze, although Yan Liuyuan was in a daze for a long time every time, she didn't feel bored.
Yan Liuyuan looked at Qiqige with a smile: "If you want to eat, you can taste it." ”
Qi Qige listened and grabbed it, Yan Liuyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Didn't I teach you how to use chopsticks, come, eat with chopsticks." ”
Qiqige looked reluctant: "Master, do you dislike us for eating and using your hands too savage?"
Before the catastrophe, the people of the northern steppe had long used chopsticks to eat, but after the catastrophe, it was obvious that it was more in line with their own cultural attributes and more convenient for them to have hands.
I saw Yan Liuyuan shake his head and said: "I let the entire tribe use chopsticks, some people may think that I dislike you barbarism, but the purpose of using chopsticks is actually to be clean." You don't know how many bacteria you have on your hands, and you don't have the habit of washing your hands often, so you eat meat with your hands for many years, which is one of the reasons why the tribe used to have a very high rate of child death. ”
Kikige suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the child of the Bohan family is sick, and it would be nice to give him the medicine you brought from the south, it's amazing." ”
Yan Liuyuan nodded and said: "Although I brought medicine back from the south this time, I still have to be careful, including my stipulation that no one in the tribe can drink raw water, and must boil it to drink, which is also the reason." ”
Qiqige looked at Yan Liuyuan with a look of adoration: "Is there so much truth in the original?Master, how do you know so many things?"
As a result, Qiqige's expression suddenly darkened when he saw Yan Liuyuan: "It was all taught to me by my brother." ”
"Do you still have a brother?" Qiqige was like a cheerful bird, but Yan Liuyuan no longer answered her questions, but asked her to find her grandmother.
Qiqige understood that this was what Yan Liuyuan meant by wanting to be alone for a while.
But just as Qiqige lifted the tent, Yan Liuyuan saw someone coming in the distance through the opened curtain.
He walked out of the tent and waited quietly, the other party was very numerous, and the black clothes on his body were obviously from the Central Plains.
Hassan asked, "Master, do you want to intercept them?"
"Don't act rashly, tell everyone not to talk nonsense, I'll deal with it," Yan Liuyuan took a deep breath after speaking, in fact, he had never dealt with the Central Plains people, how to deal with the relationship with the Central Plains people, and still needed to improvise.
Gradually, the figure in the distance got closer and closer, and the other party came on foot, and there was a knife at his waist.
Hassan, for his part, called out all the light men in the tribe and waited for them.
However, when Yan Liuyuan gradually saw the flame symbol on the other party's chest, his pupils immediately contracted.
The nearly 100 people who came to the northern grassland turned out to be people from the Tinder Company!
Sister Xiaoyu looked at Yan Liuyuan a little nervously, and Yan Liuyuan smiled: "First ask why you came, let's start fighting." ”
