"Big brother, there is a grass hut here, such a big snow, I don't think we can go forward, let's hide here, it is estimated that the people chasing us will also lose our traces because of the heavy snow."

"Yes, I see that there is light coming from inside, there must be someone inside, it is better to go in and ask for hot water on such a cold day, I don't know how long it will rain this snow, they will not follow so quickly."

"Okay, let's hide for a while, it's just that I'm afraid of delaying things, and it will be troublesome if they catch up."

Although there are a lot of them, but in the deep mountains, except for the sound of rustling snow 'flowers' on the ground, there is no other sound, a hundred feet away, but for Chen Lao Er and cheap Dad, who have been practicing martial arts all year round, they can still hear it, there are three people who came, and the accent is not like a person from the Central Plains, but like an accent outside the Guan.

"Master, someone is coming, what should we do?"

"It's okay, I don't think they're officers and soldiers, I'm afraid they're the same as us, there's something unseemly, that's why they take a small road, and act when they see the opportunity, as long as it's not harmful to us, we won't do it."

"Okay, sir, I'll listen to your orders in a while before I act."

After Chen Lao Er finished speaking, he 'drawn' the saber out and put it in the haystack under him, which was also to be able to draw the knife in time when there was any danger.

The cheap dad also pulled out the inverted 4 and put it in the haystack just like Chen Lao'er. By the way, I also hid the dagger in my sleeve just in case.

After a while, there was a creaking and squeaking sound of footsteps stepping on snow outside the 'door', and the footsteps were heard outside the 'door', and then a big man's voice came: "Fellow, we are walking guests, because we missed the accommodation, we don't know if it's convenient to come to borrow a night." ”

"Since it's a guest, please come in, the 'door' is open, you can push it open yourself." Cheap dad replied.

As soon as the cheap dad's voice fell, the 'door' was pushed open from the outside, and a big man came in, and the big man was covered with snow-white snow 'flowers', and after coming in, he arched his hand to the cheap dad and Chen Lao Er and said: "Fellow, excuse me, I still have two brothers outside, can you come in together." ”

"Since you're here, let's come in together, it's too windy and snowy outside, besides, we're also in a hurry, and this house is also an ownerless house."

The big man saw that the cheap father agreed to let them come in together, and went out to greet the two people, and the one who came in with him was relatively young, that is, seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was tall and burly, not inferior to the two adults in their thirties, and the three of them were polite, and after greeting the cheap father, they sat down by the fire together, and these people were all wearing old sheepskin jackets, and when they came in, they took off the sheepskin jackets, and laid them on the ground, and they sat on the sheepskin jackets.

"A few friends, there's hay over there, you can bring some over."

"Thank you, fellow, we can use this." The first big man to come in said.

"A few fellows, are you also going out of the customs?" In order to know their details, the cheap dad greeted.

"No, fellow countryman, we are going to Suzhou, are the two fellows outside your customs?"

"Yes, we are going to Guanwai, you seem to be on the wrong path to Suzhou, and it is a long way to go here."

"We are businessmen outside the border, because we are familiar here, so we want to bypass here, and you know, the inventory on both sides is very strict now, so the detour is also for safety."

"So, you're going to Suzhou to buy something."

"Yes, winter is coming, if there is a heavy snowstorm on the grassland, this food will be tight, so we want to contact some food, I don't know if the two fellows went to Guanwai to do business or have something else." The big man said, and the three of them were the only ones who came forward to talk to the cheap father, and the two of them stayed there all the time, especially the young man, who was staring at the fire as if he was pondering something, and did not listen to the conversation between the two of them at all.

"Coincidentally, I'm also in business, and I want to go to Guanwai to see how the business is doing this year." Cheap dad pushes the boat. He also said that he was in business, because at that time, many of the 'trades' with those outside the customs were secret, so there was a small road, and the imperial court forbade many of the 'Mongolian' ancient trade, such as ironware, grain, and salt, which were strictly forbidden to be exported to the 'Mongolian' ancients, so this also created a lot of 'smuggling' businessmen. These merchants could not use the pipes, so they sold their goods through these mountain paths.

"Then, fellow, what kind of goods do you distribute, maybe we can cooperate."

"As long as I am profitable, I can run anything, and I don't look like a few people from the Central Plains, whether they are from that side." Because of the high nose bridge unique to the 'Mongolian' ancients, they still betrayed them, although they speak Chinese, their physiognomy and characteristics cannot be changed.

"Yes, we came from the north, your court blocked us, and we can't help it, this is our young owner, our master, let our young owner come out with us to experience." The big man pointed to the young man and said.

Your young man was pondering, and suddenly the big man said, turned his head to the cheap father and said, "This uncle, since you are going to Guanwai, you have the opportunity to go to our tribe for a walk." ”

"Well, I don't know what tribe you belong to."

"We are from the Tatar Department, and the Yanbarun family, my father is the head of the family, and he is also the head of a thousand households in the Tatar Department, my name is He Yan Junshan, these two are my brothers-in-law, and this time my father also asked the two brothers to accompany me out, I don't know what you call it, uncle." The 'Meng' ancients were still very bold, they didn't hide their 'selfishness', and they directly gave the foundation to the cheap father.

"Lao Fu Lan Guangyong, has been doing business in the mainland, this time I want to go to the border, but also want to open up a new business route, this is not bad, I met you, I don't know what commodities you need in addition to food, my 'door' can also cooperate." Cheap dad won't take out the bottom like they do, so he used the name used by Lan Guang.

"Uncle, we lack everything, the most lacking is food and iron tools, I don't know what commodities you can provide us, uncle."

"I can provide you with these, but this mountain road is difficult to walk, and there are things that can't be transported, and there are officers and soldiers patrolling in peacetime, don't you all have the quota for the mutual market allocated by the imperial court, why don't you just go to the mutual market to 'trade'." At that time, the imperial court, for the 'Mongolian' ancients, friendly tribes also gave a certain amount of commodity 'trade' quota, which was not completely forbidden, so the cheap dad asked.

"Alas, this fellow, you don't know, our tribe has always been not liked by our Khan King, not to mention giving us a quota for the mutual market, even if it is usually oppressive to us, the worst grassland is ours, alas, if it weren't for this, our lord would not have sent us to accompany the young master to venture into the pass, in the morning, it was discovered by the officers and soldiers here, and they have been tracking us, if it wasn't snowing, they couldn't get rid of them." The big man who came in at the beginning said.

"In this way, I don't know if those officers and soldiers will follow, how many of them."

"There are more than a dozen, probably not, because the mountain road is difficult to walk, we threw the horses down, they picked up those horses, it is estimated that such a big snow will also go back to 'hand' over."

"It makes sense, it's just that you go to Suzhou, which is also a military town, can you find a suitable merchant in the past?" Cheap dad asked.

"Uncle, my father is an old man in Suzhou, so we want to go to Suzhou to contact him first to see if he can introduce a business." The young man continued my words.

"I think so, I also want to go to your place to contact the business, or you don't go to Suzhou, I will provide you with the things you need, the price is the same as them, you don't have to go so far, is there any risk on the road, I don't know how you feel."

Chen Lao Er looked at the cheap dad, he didn't know why the cheap dad said this, they were not in business at all, why did they provide them with goods, Chen Lao Er couldn't understand, so he was stunned to watch the cheap dad talk to them.

"Uncle, your proposal is good, it's just that my father asked me to come out and go to Suzhou, I'm afraid it's not good if we don't go back like this."

"Third brother, it's nothing, as long as we get things done, the leader won't say anything, and besides, the Lan shopkeeper will go back with us, and if there is something, it wouldn't be better for the leader to discuss with the Lan shopkeeper." The big man persuaded again.

"Big brother, so that my father won't be angry, this is the first time I've come to Kannai, so I'll go back."

"Third brother, we are here to do something, since the shopkeeper Lan has what we need, then what are we still rubbing here, and the leader of the province will worry about going back early, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

"Third brother, what the eldest brother said is right, we can't go to Suzhou anymore, now at this time, there are officers and soldiers everywhere, and the investigation is so strict, if it is really targeted, it will be troublesome, we can also be regarded as completing the task of the leader's 'handover', and besides, the tribe still needs these things, I think it is better to go back as soon as possible." The second child, who had not spoken, also opened his mouth to persuade.

"In that case, then let's not go to Suzhou, I don't know if Uncle Lan can go to our tribe with me, meet with my father, and discuss how to 'trade'." This is exactly the effect that the cheap dad wants, he and Chen Lao Er don't know how to find the royal court of Tatar, and they don't understand their language, so they use the commodity 'trade' to 'lure' and 'confuse' them, just let them accompany them back, and after arriving in their tribe, find a reason to go to the royal court, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

The more everyone chatted, the hotter it became, there was no longer the strangeness just now, and at this time the fire was also booming, Chen Lao Er opened the bag and took out five cakes, handed one to each of the three of them, and handed one to the cheap dad and said: "Barren mountains and mountains, there is nothing to eat, everyone will order it." ”

"Thank you, our luggage is on the horse, and it was also abandoned, I am worried about what to do if I am hungry, thank you for this brother, I don't know what to call my brother's surname." The big man who took the lead asked Chen Lao Er.
