Although Li Xie is extremely disdainful of Lu'an's move, he wants to be a bitch and set up an archway. But I have to say that Li Xie also very much doesn't want Lu An to agree to the village chief now and sell all the people to this village.

Li Xie's original plan was to go to all the villages, and then expose their locations one by one, and then follow them to secretly scare them, and in one move, use the power of the government to co-opt them.

Although now you can know from the conversation between the two of them, even in their old age. Lu An didn't go all over every village, but it didn't matter, as long as he firmly grasped all their village chiefs, he wouldn't worry about not knowing the whereabouts of those villages.

"Boss An, aren't you really thinking about it?" Lu An refused very resolutely after knowing the reason, but the village chief was obviously not very willing. First it rained heavily for months, and then the weather was unusually hot, which in the eyes of the village chief was a sign that the mountain god was angry.

In order to appease the wrath of the mountain gods, they had no other way but to increase the tribute. If you can't buy more children, you can only choose from the children in the village.

Everyone's children are raised by their fathers and mothers, and who wants to use their own flesh and blood to sacrifice to the mountain gods? If more children can be bought, the village chief can really pay any price this year. Even if all the ores stored over the years are consumed, the village chief will definitely not hesitate to do so.

"People have to be honest, although I would love to sell it to you, but I really can't." Lu An rejected him very brazenly, and his psychological price was not just one or two times higher.

"And the village chief really doesn't hide it, I'm just an errand runner, my boss, he gave me a very short period this year, three days at most, and I will return within three days, regardless of whether these people are sold or not. Even if I brought it back as it was, I had to go back within three days. So for the sake of you and me, I also ask the village chief to contact other villages as soon as possible. ”

Lu An refused to forget it, in order to prevent the village chief from getting in the way and not contacting other villages, Lu An even opened a lie that he was short of time.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the expression on the village chief's face changed again and again. It seems that he really intends to play some cautious eyes, but Lu An's words can be regarded as completely blocking his back road.

Time was pressing, and Lu'an refused to sell all the children to him no matter what, and the village chief had nothing to do for a while.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to contact other villages as soon as possible. However, those villages that are a little farther away are indeed a little far away from here, can you relax your time a little more? ”

Of course, the village chief could gamble, and after three days, Lu An had no choice but to sell all the children to himself. But the result of such a gamble is that if Lu An still refuses to let go, he estimates that he will not be able to buy a child. At that point, it was really self-defeating.

So the village chief really didn't dare to gamble, on the other hand, he had to admire Lu'an, when he did business here in the past, he was indeed afraid of these indigenous peoples, and he didn't dare to do any dishonest actions. But he didn't want a move that he had to compromise because he was afraid, but now it brought him unimaginable benefits.

"Okay, then it's troublesome for the village chief, please arrange it as soon as possible. Then we won't bother the village chief. Lu An said and stood up.

"Good!" ……

"Brother Li, it's the first time you've come here, do you want me to accompany you for a walk?" After coming out of the village chief, Lu An was in a big mood and happily asked Li Xie, who was following him.

"Don't." Although Li Xie also wanted to walk around in this village of pure natural scenery, take a look. But the character design is really not allowed, he is just a stupid person now. He shouldn't be interested in anything other than eating, except for being lonely.

Lu An didn't force it, but laughed in vain and walked back.

Maybe it's because Lu'an's words really worked, maybe it's because people like the village chief, who haven't had much contact with the outside world, are really simple-minded. All in all, in the evening of the same day, the village chief came to the news, saying that he could gather all the closer big guys in Luopu Mountain next to him early tomorrow morning.

For the villages further afield, you will have to wait until the third day. In previous years, it took seven or eight days just for them to gather people, but this year's speed was much beyond his expectations.

Originally, according to Lu'an's estimate, it was not easy to gather people on the third day, and after talking about things that day, he showed a dilemma when he left, and said to them that he hoped to spend the night, and the village chief would definitely agree.

Li Xie didn't want to move around more because of his personality, Lu An was in a good mood, but he didn't have Yaxing to walk around in this poor and remote place. In Lu An's opinion, what is there to see in this place where birds don't, if you want to visit, he is also visiting the Qinglou Song Courtyard in Naluo Tianfu.

So Lu An and Li Xie are both very helpless, and it takes a day to close the door. The next morning, Lu An took Li Xie to the so-called Luopu Mountain.

It is said to be a mountain, but in the midst of these mountains, this mountain is really not a high mountain. It can only be regarded as a small dirt slope, the terrain is relatively flat, and there are no towering trees. It is one of the few places in the deep mountains and forests that is relatively flat and suitable for big guys to gather.

Lu An obviously had a lot of contact with every village chief here, and he was very familiar with each village chief and then chatted for a while one by one.

As it approached noon, the scorching sun finally drained the patience of the village chiefs. One of the more impatient men stood up and said to Lu'an:

"It's almost time to talk about it, and I think we'll each set a price. Start preparing to prepare. ”

In previous years, it was such a process, each of them put forward the price in their hearts, and then competed to finally determine whose price to buy and sell.

But in previous years, this year is this year, in previous years, one was that he had too many goods in his hands to sell them, so he had to come to this mountain to do business. The second is that the price inside this mountain is indeed much better than outside.

But this year, unlike previous years, the supply relationship has changed. Although Lu'an also has so many goods in his hand that he can't sell them, the people in it don't know. I already knew that they were all begging to sell them more.

This year, he will definitely not promise them any more than the martial arts.

"This year, time is very tight, so I won't compete with any martial arts. People are here, two people are counted as a batch, everyone comes by bidding, and whoever has the highest price will belong to whomever they want. The people Lu An brought over were enough for one person from each village, so he decided to sell them on a one-time basis for two people.

In this way, it means that at least one-third of the people in the villages, including those who did not come, could not get children.

This is very fatal, originally one by one, I planned to increase the tribute this year compared to previous years. It's good now, maybe there won't even be a tribute.

Although these villages have the folk custom of sacrificing to the mountain gods every year, they are all children who have grown up in their own villages, and no one's heart is made of stone, and who really can't bear to kill the god of sacrifice?

Therefore, when Lu'an did not appear, when they sacrificed to the mountain gods in previous years, they washed the children and put them on the offering table, making a form and making a show.

It's just that a few years ago, a village chief became greedy and really sacrificed living people. And that year, maybe because of the psychological effect, that village was really smooth, and every time you went out hunting, you could always get a full harvest. Therefore, these villages followed suit one after another, and only then did they have the current custom.

They have already acquiesced in such a custom, and then suddenly they have to change back to the previous one, they are worried that the mountain god will not be able to accept it, and they are even more worried that their village will not have a good time in the coming year.
