Just as Shopkeeper Wu was telling his story and what happened to him, the sky in the east gradually began to turn white, and the environment became brighter.

At this time, Shopkeeper Wu gradually discovered the true face of the "mountain spirit": this is not a fucking mountain spirit, but a strange person!

The people in front of them were big-shouldered and round-waisted, holding iron tools in their hands, all wearing floral clothes, and their faces were painted with horizontal and vertical patterns.

In Wu's shopkeeper's mind, with this kind of costume and color patterns, these people are about the people of She Yao in the nearby mountains? Thinking of that strange accent, the shopkeeper felt that he was close to the truth. So he hurriedly said: "I bumped into a few mountain warriors, please let me two go, and when the old man goes back, there will be a retribution!" ”

The one who didn't want to take the lead didn't pay attention to this stubble, but became interested in another thing: "Old man, you just said that you escaped from the ghost head depression, that is, you know the details of the ghost head depression?" ”

"I can't talk about the details, the two of us were only arrested for a day."

The shopkeeper Wu is an old Jianghu, and when he saw that the other party's words were wrong, although he couldn't figure out the situation, he still instinctively avoided the topic.

emmm..... The one at the head nodded, noncommittal. probably saw that the shopkeeper Wu had concerns, so he turned his head to look at He Bian Dan on the side.

At this time, He Biandan, who was knocked down by the palm thunder, had already recovered and was trying to control his hands and feet, trying to get up from the ground.

At this time, the leader spoke: "Take them all back and talk about it." ”

Then He Bian was pulled up: "Be honest, dare to mess around and call you back!" ”。

As for the shopkeeper Wu, who had collapsed and sat paralyzed on the ground, he was treated well: several She Yao people chopped and cut with branches, and in less than ten minutes, they made a temporary stretcher and carried the shopkeeper Wu.

The next moment, He Bian was kicked on the buttocks: "Waiting for the meal?" Carry your shopkeeper to it! ”

He Biandan, who was stupid by the electricity, became a coolie again, turned into a stretcher soldier, carried the shopkeeper Wu, and set off with the team in a daze.

Shopkeeper Wu secretly complained in his heart: This is the rhythm of the front foot out of the wolf's den and the back foot into the tiger's den? However, the two of them have no power to fight back now, and they can only be at the mercy of this gang of She Yao, and the so-called resignation to fate is probably like this.

However, after this leisure, the shopkeeper Wu who was lying on the stretcher gradually observed something unusual.

The first is direction. This team was supposed to go west into the mountains, but at the moment they were heading south along the Zengjiang River. You must know that She Yaomin usually doesn't deal with Hanmin if he doesn't have to. If you continue like this, I am afraid that you will go all the way to the place where the Han people gather, so the shopkeeper Wu is a little puzzled.

Next, the shopkeeper Wu, who traveled from south to north, found more differences: whether it was from the clothes or the various bits and pieces on his body, now in detail, this group of people does not look like She Yaomin, but like people in the army.

First of all, the spirit of the army that is forbidden by order was seen in some military camps in the early years of Shopkeeper Wu.

Secondly, not to mention the shiny ancient monsters on these weirdos, just the pair of military boots that were fashionable in Guangzhou City and required "shoe polish" on their feet, the poor She Yaomin couldn't afford to wear them.

The military boots and ordinary leather boots produced by the Yizhou workshop are not only extremely comfortable to wear on the left and right, but also the soles are made of thick cowhide that the Ming people cannot imitate, and the quality far exceeds the commonly used wooden shoes and cloth shoes, and the price is very high, and it is now the standard for the rich. She Yaomin is so poor that she can't even afford to wear homespun cloth on weekdays, how can she have a pair of military boots per person?

The confused shopkeeper Wu wondered all the way, faintly, as if there was always something missing from his own house - until he got on the boat.

The small detachment of different minds, which at first kept a silent march, marched straight south along the water. After walking for half an hour, suddenly, two strange people in flowered clothes came out of the roadside.

This move startled the shopkeeper Wu who was sitting on the stretcher: Didn't you notice anyone around before? Strange, this flower dress can be charming?

The ambush soldiers who came out silently made a few gestures, and the team turned into the reeds on the side. Then it suddenly became clear to everyone: in a small puddle, there were several small boats parked.

By this time, needless to say, I knew that I was going to get on the boat. And at the moment when Shopkeeper Wu got off the stretcher and was helped on the boat by He Bian, he suddenly knew who these people were—a person took off the strange-looking cloth hat on his head, which looked a bit like a copper basin helmet, revealing a short haircut.

With the continuous expansion of General Cao's power, it has long been the standard configuration of the economically developed areas of Fujian and Guangdong.

At the beginning, the hair came to the Ming people's territory with the officers and soldiers of the fleet, as well as the Yizhou foreman and the account office.

Later, when the novelty passed, people didn't care. Later, slowly, many people on the construction site who gave Cao Dashuai anti-life automatic haircuts. After all, if you don't get a haircut, you will deduct a little "soap" fee when you pay your salary every month, on the grounds that you use more soap for long hair.

This small amount of money made many poor Ming people simply take care of things. In this way, with the passage of time, now wherever there is Cao's industry and large construction sites, there are hair everywhere, and the Ming people have long been accustomed to it. Some young people can't even resist the temptation of the bright windows and colorful hand-painted newspapers of the new barber shops, and even go to the barber shop to wash, cut and blow the wax, which has become a fashion among young people.

And at this time, after seeing that the other party had a bearded hair, the shopkeeper Wu's heart flashed, and his mind instantly went through the army he knew with the bearded hair, and then he came up with a seemingly strange, but correct answer: "Dare to ask this deputy master, is it under the command of Yizhou Cao Dashuai?" ”

The next moment, the leader with mud on his face showed a terrible smile at the shopkeeper Wu: "See? Old man, you're cunning, how can you see it?"

"Oops!" Shopkeeper Wu was full of joy at this time, and slapped his thigh fiercely: "This is my own family." So that the deputy master knows that the business name of Bai Ji, where Xiao Lao'er works, is the agent of seven kinds of groceries in Yizhou, Zengcheng area! ”

"Oh, so that ghost-headed Lao Qi robbed my handsome business this time?"

Shopkeeper Wu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!" This batch of goods was taken out by Xiao Lao'er from the Guangzhou general agent the day before yesterday, and the hateful stack was seized by the bandits, but there is still a bottom link at the Guangzhou wharf. ”

"Well, robbing my handsome man's business, this is a capital crime." Hearing this, the flower-faced leader nodded: "But the details of this ghostly depression, our brothers still don't know it, and we can't help you take revenge?" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Shopkeeper Wu pulled He Biandan, who was a little dumbfounded: "Little Lao'er and this little brother have both been to the bandits' den, the deputy master just asks, and we will never say a lie." ”

But the flower-faced leader was not in a hurry at this time: "Well, let's go first, and talk slowly when we get to the place." ”

Immediately afterward, three small flotillas set sail.

After drilling in the reeds for a while, the boat soon turned into the Zengjiang River and went downstream. At noon, He Biantan and Shopkeeper Wu saw the blue-gold ship parked in Huangpu New Harbor again—this time to see it up close, because the two were taken to the military port where the big ship was.
