Chapter 615: Sacrifice, Running Merchants (Text)
"Memorial? Do you pay tribute to your ancestors? ”
Zhang Meng asked curiously.
The monk no longer spoke, but the little old man next to him kept sighing and saying, "Bad luck! It's unlucky! If I knew that you were going to pay respects, I wouldn't have taken your car to death. ”
The little old man looks like he eats, and what he pays attention to when he goes out is an auspicious thing, especially when his head is carried on the belt of his trousers, and these things are particularly taboo.
Although there is no scientific basis for this practice, it has been like a custom that has accompanied people since ancient times.
Especially for people on the beach, when eating fish, you must not say 'flip' or 'fall', otherwise a bad one will cause a big conflict.
And Frontier Taobao got into a memorial car, which can be regarded as bad luck for eight lifetimes, right? The thin old man was crying with a sad face, but the two guys he brought with him looked indifferent.
Zhang Meng quietly looked at it, although the tone between the two people was very immature, but the eyes were fierce, it is estimated that there will be no ambiguity in the fight, otherwise this old man would not dare to ride alone here with only three people, and looking at him like that, he should have found some business opportunities in it.
"Don't go in the car, they are not very hospitable, and driving the car in will be regarded as a provocation, Xiao Er, you wait in the car, Xiao San and I will go to the village to change a little things and come out."
The old man and a young man hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards the village, looking at them empty-handed, and did not know what the old man was thinking.
"What is this guy going to do in exchange for other people's things?"
Zhang Meng asked the second uncle curiously.
"Everyone has their own means, and the little old man is afraid that we also know his financial route, so let's not guess."
Zhang Shaotu smiled.
The little second looked a little dissatisfied, as if he was angered by Zhang Shaotu's tone: "If you can guess it, I will give you a big incense and kowtow!" ”
Zhang Meng has heard this kind of saying, it seems to be a metaphor for people in the north, which means that you can guess that I worship you as a teacher.
"Hehe, Xiao Lao'er and your little third brother are empty-handed, and they don't have anything at all, which means that the items they carry are very small, jewelry and the like can be excluded, and food is impossible, what can I bring with me? It is nothing more than to bring small and urgently needed things to their village, there is no clinic within a radius of dozens of miles in this place, I guess you have brought some medicine, Yunnan Baiyao, and powerful antibiotics. ”
Zhang Shaotu said with a smile, the junior on the other side was dumbfounded, and his mouth was so open that saliva was about to flow out.
"God, God."
The guy had a hellish look on his face, and his eyes became a little frightened when he looked at Zhang Shaotu.
If along the way, there is a person who shakes out your biggest secret, I'm afraid you won't be able to be so calm, Zhang Meng even saw a fleeting killing opportunity in that person's eyes.
"Boy, have you forgotten something?"
Zhao San's eyes flashed fiercely, and he asked with squinted eyes, and his palm also quietly touched the back of his buttocks, but it was grabbed by a strong hand.
Zhang Shaotu grabbed Zhao San's hand and shook his head slightly.
"I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The junior seemed to sense that something was wrong, and he apologized again and again.
"Haha boy, it's still very common to run merchants here, but everyone hides their secrets, so you think that no one knows your secret. As far as I know, there are not many people who exchange medicine for things, but there are still some people. ”
Zhang Shaotu said with a smile.
When Zhang Shaotu said this, he was even more unnatural, and after the junior confessed his guilt, he hurriedly went outside the car to smoke.
"Sir, so observant."
In that car, the monk suddenly spoke up, this was the first time he took the initiative to speak.
"You don't have to embarrass them, this God-forsaken land still needs people like them."
"Godforsaken land? Master, why is this place called the Land of God's Forsaken? ”
Zhang Meng asked suspiciously.
"This is a cursed place......"
The monk shook his head and said no more.
Zhang Meng and Zhao San looked at each other, both feeling that the atmosphere was a little weird, as if they were playing dumb riddles.
"Master, can I ask you a question, do you know the place of 'Antan Snow Clan'?"
Zhang Shaotu frowned, and he asked suddenly.
"If you can see it, you have a fate, and if you can't see it, you don't need to force it." The monk nodded slightly and said.
"You monk is really annoying, just say you don't know."
Zhao San was furious when he heard it, and couldn't help but say.
Zhang Shaotu shook his head, his face slightly disappointed.
After about half an hour or so, the old man returned, and behind him were several swarthy men who were tall and tall, almost a head taller than the old man, but their bones looked a little strange, and they didn't seem to be very symmetrical.
They helped carry two heavy bags into the trunk of the van and left without looking back.
"What are these things, and why do they stink so much?"
Zhang Meng asked with a frown.
After the two bags of things were brought in, there was a smell like sulfur in the place, and the smell almost made Zhang Meng vomit.
"I'm sorry big brothers, let's just open the window along the way, this thing is very useful."
The little old man kept apologizing.
"It's okay, hurry up, it's been a long time delay......" Zhang Shaotu shook his head and said.
Along the way, they stopped in four villages, and when they arrived at the two or three villages in the back, Zhang Meng and the others also got off the car together to observe these places, because their intelligence had no way to do this place, maybe the An Tan Xue clan was hiding in these villages that they had not searched.
However, there is no gain at all, not only do these villages have no names, but it is also extremely difficult to communicate with them.
When asked about the An Tan Xue clan, these people either shook their heads and said nothing, or they looked vigilant or at a loss.
On the contrary, the little old man was so happy that he exchanged the two bags of things with the pungent smell for a pile of earthy yellow stones, and when he went to the next village, he exchanged them for some rough bone ornaments.
Everywhere he went, he always had to trade what he had done before for something different.
"I said third uncle, it's useless for this old man to change these things, how can he toss and toss and toss these gray things!"
Zhang Meng asked dumbfounded.
"You cute boy, people are running business, you know what. Have you ever heard of ancient people running merchants, only need to bring one or two taels of silver before leaving, and after coming back, they will bring more than ten taels of silver, especially some business masters, they are even sharper, and sometimes the profit of a trip is even hundreds of times. Zhao San explained. With names, it's hard to communicate with them.
