vs 14 Two baskets of stones

This has a tendency to overturn the market, according to Chu Jianli's statement, the merchants are robbed by you, who will Lao Tzu's mountain goods sell to?

Therefore, this Bai Shouhu is sick in the brain, it is wonderful, it is heretical, and it is a cancer that destroys the stability and unity of the neighborhood, so the screen village was quickly absorbed by the surrounding old money gangs, and everyone reached a consensus to swear not to stand with the Baizhuang gang......

After years of fighting and killing, blood is also common from time to time, and the leaders will come out to talk about the number after the fight, and after a period of time, they will fight again after raising enough spirit, and this is the situation now.

When Cao Chuan heard this, he also sighed, it seemed that the village was calm and calm, but there were a few lives between the words, and maybe there were still human lives behind.

Looking at the attitude of these people, it seems that this kind of thing is common today, and he doesn't plan to help anything, the ring on his hand is his old man's hole card, which is only used to save his life. Besides, his "supernatural powers" are actually very limited, and he can't fit things in a little farther away.

Since the evening, there have been mountain people entering the village one after another, a group of people, the old farmers are carrying burdens, and the young and strong are carrying knives and axes, it seems that Zhou Tong launched the general mobilization of the cottage.

and Zhao Si sneaked to the public treasury and looked at the legendary Jiaogong grain, there was no imaginary big and small fight, Lu was sitting at the door, next to a bag of big salt brought by Cao Chuan, both sides seemed to be very familiar, laughing a few words, Lao Lu grabbed the rice and took a look, and then wrote a few strokes on the account book, and it was over.

When the rice and camellia were all put into storage, the old farmer who came to deliver the grain took out a few small cloth bags, and Lu Shufang picked up a big wooden spoon and scooped it out from the salt bag one by one, and the old farmer next to him held the bag and stared at it with blank eyes.

Lao Lu obviously knew what to expect, a few cloth bags only filled two and a half bags before stopping, a few old farmers here did not follow, and the local dialect came out of his mouth in a hurry and fast, and the pronunciation was very strange, Cao Chuan was stunned and didn't understand a word.

Lao Lu also changed his face and began to curse, and after scolding, he scooped half a spoonful of salt into the cloth bag, and sent the old farmer away with a painful face.

The old farmer turned around and saw Cao Chuan in a strange costume, and Zhao Si next to him said a few words, so a few people gave Cao Chuan a look, and hurriedly returned the salute here, and then watched the old farmer tie up the salt bag and pick up the empty burden and go down the mountain.

Lu Wenwen came over after cleaning up: "The people in the mountains don't have knowledge, sir, this sea salt, there is no trace of bitterness, and the banquet of large families is also used, if the amount of rice is exchanged for rice in the past, this day will not be able to live." ”

Cao Chuan smiled and said: "It's okay to give more, it's not a valuable thing, I'll get a message in a few days, and it's not difficult to carry another batch from the sect." ”

Lu Wenwen shook his head after listening: "Mr. is going to go out to travel after all, give more now, it will be difficult to say at that time, the mountain people admit death, but it doesn't matter whether Mr. is traveling or not." ”

As soon as Cao Chuan heard what people said, it was not easy to interject again, after all, he really didn't plan to stay in this cottage for a long time.

In the next two days, the mountain people who are also farmers and bandits gathered in the screen village one after another, Zhou Tong sent three groups of people down the mountain to reinforce, and calculated that hundreds of people were sent to the mountain, Zhou Tong stopped, and the people who came behind stayed in the village.

The scene of people shouting and barking finally disappeared, and the village seemed to return to its former situation, but you can still feel the undercurrent of calm, which can be seen from the young men who gather together every day to sharpen their knives and dance guns, and the spies who keep going up the mountain to report the news.

Just when Cao Chuan was waiting impatiently, Zhao Wutian finally appeared in someone's longing eyes.

A group of people, carrying two pairs of burdens and two burdens, came back in the dust.

Cao Chuan was on the bluestone platform, saw Zhao Wutian coming up, hurriedly beckoned to take off the burden, next to Zhao Si brought a few bowls of tea, Zhao Wutian muttered the tea in the bowl, wiped his mouth and said: "That's it, sir, see if it's appropriate." ”

Cao Chuan nodded and said hard, everyone lifted the straw mat on the bamboo basket with all hands and feet, and a pile of stones lay in the basket.

The stone material is large and small, the big one is half a bamboo basket, the small one is also the size of a human head, three or five pieces are squeezed in a basket, all the stones have a characteristic, the surface is large and bright red.

Before Cao Chuan could speak, Zhou Tong next to him glared and asked, "Thirty taels of silver in exchange for two stones?" Gota, how do you say? ”

Zhao Wutian sighed, hurriedly squatted down to untie the two cloth baggage, as soon as the burden was opened, dozens of bright red blanks were revealed, these blanks were not big, obviously after preliminary polishing, and the two pieces sold by Cao Chuan were almost the same.

Zhao Wutian explained: "These small materials account for the price, they are all polished in the hands of the old wealth, and it takes labor, and the smallest one costs five dollars of silver." The big material in the basket was picked out by me in the stone pile, Lin Laocai sold the uncle's face, and only charged ten taels of silver for two loads of big material. ”

Zhou Tong scolded with a smile: "This Lin family is really getting into the eye of money, and thirty taels of silver can buy a good house in Lin'an, so in exchange for this stone?" Anyway, let's go, the people in our mountains can't fight the old wealth. ”

"Do you think these stones are suitable?" Speaking of this, Zhou Tong turned his head to look at Cao Chuan.

"Together, all together." Cao Chuan smiled and nodded: "I have thanked you brothers here, and there will always be a thank you later, everyone is relaxed." ”

Zhao Wutian and several people said that they didn't dare to be, Zhou Tong saw that Mr. was satisfied, and asked if he needed to go on another trip, Cao Chuan hurriedly said that these were enough for now, and Zhou Tong arranged for Lu to take everyone down to reward.

Cao Chuan waited for Zhao Wutian and his group to go down, so he asked Zhao Si to move out the stones in the pick and pile them up, and put the dozens of small materials on it, and then in front of Zhou Tong and several people, with a wave of his sleeves, the stones disappeared without a trace......

Chu Jianli still saw Cao Chuan use his "supernatural powers" for the first time, stared and opened his mouth, turned his head to look at Zhou Tong who was doing mud bodhisattva-like next to him, and then looked at Cao Chuan who sat down and smiled lightly, and wanted to say goodbye, and finally held back a sentence: "Sir, this is a real supernatural power, I'm afraid there is a seat in the emperor's house!" ”

"The third master laughed." Cao Chuan laughed after hearing this: "Poor Dao came to this Ming Dynasty for cultivation and experience, not to go to Da Nei to be a national teacher to eat and worship." Recently, I have learned a lot in the mountains, and the emperor's family does not have the resources of this cultivation. ”

It seemed that he was flickered, and then Cao Chuan didn't talk much about the gods and ghosts, and the topic was led to Chu Jianli himself. After this incident, the attitude of the three masters became much more respectful, and when they heard Cao Chuan talk about themselves, they didn't hide anything, so they introduced their own origins.

Chu Jianli worked in the merchant gang when he was a teenager and traveled all year round. That year, the caravan crossed Tianmu Mountain and was sacked by a group of strongmen, so he survived alone and was rescued by the people of Pingfeng Village who arrived later.

At that time, it was the time when the heroes in the Tianmu Mountain area rose together, and when he recovered from his injuries, the group of strongmen had already been wiped out by the screen village, and Chu saw that Li had nowhere to go, so he officially fell into the grass.
