Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Grassland and Lai Ba

After Lai Ba turned a corner from the rugged mountain road, he held his breath, and every time he saw the endless grassland at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't help but feel the urge to bow down.

If the beauty of the green mountains lies in the majesty, then the grassland in front of it is the spokesperson of vastness, as far as the eye can see, the whole person will become light, the blue sky is at the end of the green earth, the white clouds seem to pour directly from the sky to the earth, although the momentum is urgent, but light, always gently floating on the horizon.

The white sheep were scattered on the ground like pearls, and from time to time there were majestic men on horseback shouting loudly to drive away the wolves in the distance, and the wolves were scared away, and at the same time the guinea fowl was frightened away.

Lai Ba sat down cross-legged, full of pride, behind him was his own caravan, a full twelve mules, each mule was carrying a heavy horse bag, this time, Lai Ba planned to change more cowhide and beef tendon, because the young man said, beef jerky is not sold well, the people of Chengdu Mansion can't afford to eat, and can only be transported to the more distant Kaifeng Bianliang City will be sold, but cowhide and cow tendon are in short supply, those who cook leather don't ask the price at all, as long as you have it, he wants it, because they only need to make cowhide into leather armor, No matter how high the price is, it will be sold.

He poured a big sip of wine and handed the wine bag to his brother, this time there were six people who came to the grassland with him, all of them were brothers of the same clan, and they could be trusted.

Before the sweat on everyone's body disappears, they have to set off, and there is still a long way to go from the small lake of trading. Once in the grassland, there was no need to worry about the robbers of Yuanshan, because they were full of fear of the Tubo people.

The Tibetans also like to kill people, and they also like to make cameo appearances as robbers anytime and anywhere, however, they have never heard of the Tibetans attacking the caravan, and the rule of not attacking the caravan has been determined since the distant time of King Gesar, even the most vicious Tibetans will not rob your goods, and the robbers in the Tibetans will meet the caravan. There will also be a fair trade, and according to Naxi's words, the caravan is more precious than an eyeball on the grassland.

Lai Ba had encountered "Moda", that is, robbers, a few times before, and they also needed to trade. Although the knives in those guys' hands are big and scary. The action is also very rude, and Lai Ba still likes to trade with the "Moda" because it is more profitable to trade with them. They don't like to live in tents, so they don't need cowhides, and they're happy to exchange the useless hides for a good iron pot.

Seeing that Xiaohu was in front of him, the Modas still did not appear, which made Lai Ba feel extremely disappointed, and with the last hope, he took out a horn from his arms and blew it "woo woo woo".

After a while, a Tibetan man riding a red horse came to Lai Ba like the wind, and he spoke very quickly. With an anxious expression, Lai Ba looked at the Mo Da in front of him blankly, not understanding what he was talking about.

The man's expression became more and more anxious, and he slammed his fist on his head a few times, and then touched his forehead, and shrank back as if he had touched fire.

Lai Ba immediately understood. Someone was sick and had a fever, so he immediately took out a medicine bag from the horse he was holding, which was also a cargo, and it was a good medicine that Yun Zheng specially got back from the Rejuvenation Hall. In fact, there are only four kinds, the one that is afraid of wind and cold, the one that reduces fever, the one that reduces bones, and the four kinds that cure diarrhea, and the herbs have long been compatible, and they only need to be boiled in water to cure the disease. Yun Zheng called it Chinese patent medicine.

But I saw that the Tibetan man cut his face with a knife, and found a branch and stabbed it into the wound, which was almost the bone dragon, but looking at the length of the branch that the Tibetan man carried, Lai Ba no longer thought that the guy had the need to rescue.

He compared the branch to half a foot long, and said that the wound was half a foot deep, and who could survive with a wound half a foot deep on his head? It's a long time ago, is this guy talking nonsense, and a guy who has been injured like this can still have a fever?

Just when Lai Ba hesitated, a large group of people ran over, all of them were fierce, and Lai Ba's clan brothers trembled in fright, only Lai Ba was calmer, and he had already seen a guy with an arrow stuck in his head being tied to a horse and sent over.

Lai Ba checked the injury, it was very miserable, the little fur he learned from Yunda couldn't save this guy at all, the whole arrow penetrated this guy's cheeks, and the upper jaw was completely rotten, the reason why he didn't pull out the arrow was to let the arrow shaft plug the wound and prevent bleeding.

The flesh on the roof of the jaw has begun to turn white, and he is still worried about a fart, and now he can't do it if he doesn't do it, Lai Ba found that these people are about to have red eyes, and if they don't do it, the consequences are unpredictable.

Sharpened off the arrow with a knife, grabbed the arrow shaft with his hand, and pulled out the arrow shaft with a sharp force, and a stream of black blood spurted out, and Lai Ba, who was going to wrap the wound with a sackcloth, saw that all that flowed out was dirty blood, and he waited until the black blood turned into red blood before he began to use the knife to cut the carrion little by little,

The carrion has been shaved off, what should I do next? By the way, sewn it on, so Lai Ba carefully sewed the hole in the Tubo man's face with silk thread, and stuffed a bamboo pipe into his mouth.

The Modas came and walked quickly, and when Lai Ba helped the man to coat the man with gold sore medicine, they helped the unconscious wounded man to the back of the horse, and disappeared behind the hill with a whistle.

"Starling, will you heal? I don't know. ”

"I know how to fart, Yunda taught me how to deal with wounds, I am worried that we will not deal with injuries, God knows if this person can live, the meat is about to stink, but ah in this way, the next time I meet them, at most I can only say that we didn't cure him, not that we didn't save him, these two sentences are very important, you have to remember, and you will say so when you help the Tubo people treat their diseases in the future."

After Lai Bato's arrogant explanation, he gained countless sycophants from the brothers in the clan.

Along the way, the whining and whining horn, this time the salt brought is very small, Yunda does not allow the Tubo people to develop the habit of storing salt, according to the number of people provided by Lai Ba, the salt brought each time, at most enough for these people to use thirty percent, and always keep the market in a state of hunger and thirst, which is very important.

Linen cloth needs a lot of dumping, the mountain people produce the most is burlap, this thing is cheap, the quantity is huge, every household is weaving, many farmers can not sell linen, all store zài at home. The linen cloth can't be sold, the farmer's income is a big piece less, the life is panicked, now only the bean paste village is buying this thing in large quantities, Yun Zheng needs to find a place to sell the villagers' linen, so he nailed his eyes to the grassland, the herdsmen can't wear an old sheepskin jacket naked, they also need to wear some underwear or something, in short, the vast market of the grassland needs to be cultivated, this is a pure consumer market, if in the later generations, those who sell clothes, shoes and socks will be happy to die.

The horn sounds, the horn will respond, and then there will be a large group of Tubo people who come to watch the caravan, Lai Ba's clan brothers endured the smell to help Lai Ba unload the transaction, and saw him hugging those Tubo people, and did not feel the smell of sheep at all, so he admired the five bodies to the ground, and even sometimes he would kiss the face of the Tubo woman with a red face, which would immediately attract the giggles of the Tubo woman, and some of the bold ones would stare at the Han man to death, Then they would run behind the haystack and wait for the Han family to come.

Lai Ba swallowed his saliva and shook his head regretfully, the woman's tits just now were not small, and her waist was thin, and she could see clearly through the sleeves of her sheepskin jacket, but it was a pity that she still had to do business, and she couldn't take care of these things, Yun Da said, after the business became bigger, even if she went to Bianliang City, Tokyo in the future, she would be a big official.

Don't lose a big one because of a small one, the beautiful picture depicted by Yunda doesn't leave much room for laziness.

Lai Ba, who was busy trading, saw a white yak, this is the head man has arrived, he is the most noble person in this land, Naxi has followed the head man for three or four months, and this guy has become the head man's steward.

Lai Ba opened the innermost package, held it in both hands and handed it to the noble headman, when the headman opened it, his eyes immediately widened, and a beautiful brocade silk appeared in front of the headman.

Lai Ba and Naxi slowly unfolded the brocade silk, and an eagle with wings soaring appeared in front of everyone, except for the head man and Lai Ba who was holding the brocade silk, the rest of the people were prostrate on the ground, including several clan brothers brought by Lai Ba, which was discussed in advance.

Lai Ba looked at the head man who was fascinated by the brocade silk, and couldn't help but think of what Yun Zheng said before leaving: "Give gifts to their liking, the Tubo people actually do not lack gold beads and agate, in fact, there is the production area of agate, you only need to look at the accessories on their bodies to understand, they never lack valuables, since it is the Eagle Department, then give them a pair of eagle brocade, presumably this gift is what the head person needs most."

Jewelry and jade can not be eaten, thirsty can not drink, the only function is to appreciate, we are not yet the time to move these things, in my opinion, cattle and sheep are the focus of our trade, and we must let the Tibetan people think so, and when we use commercial means to close the relationship with each other, the time for the Yuanshan robbers to give the head has come, after the Yuanshan bandits have fallen, it is time for us to re-examine our relationship with the Tubo people. ”

The eagle brocade has become the best stepping stone, when the head man entertained Lai Ba in his big tent, Naxi carried out a large box, after opening, it was full of colorful silk, after Naxi gestured, Lai Ba knew that the original head man was going to let Lai Ba turn all these silks into eagle brocade, and he needed to use it to decorate his tent.
