One day, no one in Tianshuizhai noticed that everyone often sat together under the big tree that made home, and someone began to set up a stall.

The stall was set up by a barefoot teenager, dark and inconspicuous.

This boy was originally one of the thirty teenagers that Anu had trained, and everyone called him Atu. He returned to Tianshui Village without a sound and began to set up a stall to do business, which made everyone feel very novel.

Originally, setting up stalls to do business was one of the talents of merchants, but after a long period of suffering and a short period of wealth, this business that allowed their ancestors to build a huge empire has been almost forgotten by the people of Tianshuizhai.

Atu's stall was full of all kinds of novelty gadgets, which immediately attracted the people of Tianshui Village. The women, in particular, couldn't take their feet off the sight of the colorful goods.

The red silk thread, the blue coarse cloth, the pure white mink collar, the jade clip that can tie the hair, and the headscarf decorated with beautiful patterns all made the women of Tianshui Village fascinated and almost fell into the abyss of desire.

The children were so fascinated by something called sucrose that they couldn't help themselves.

Ah Tu was very dirty, he took out a piece of egg yolk cane sugar, let each of the children lick it, and then gave each of them a small piece for them to taste the taste of cane sugar.

Those lumps of candy were smaller than fingernails, and when they were placed on the tongue, they melted into half a mouthful of saliva as soon as they tasted a hint of heartbreaking sweetness.

The children were reluctant to swallow the half of the spit, and their expressions were strange, and they looked at Ah Tu with a strange expression.

Ah Tu no longer looked at the children, but turned his eyes to the men who were squatting in the distance to watch the excitement.

Most of the men in Tianshui Village are bandits who have seen the world, so they don't bother to pay attention to a little liar like Ah Tu, and even a few men glared at Ah Tu viciously.

Ah Tu's temper is very good, even better than Guo Yang's.

He looked at the men with a smile and took out a few small knives from his bosom, the kind that Anu had once shown, and a small copper-tin alloy scabbard with two or three red agate stones inlaid on it.

The men of Tianshui Village looked straight with their eyes, swallowed their saliva in large gulps, slowly stood up, and came to Atu's stall a little shyly.

Ah Tu "brushed" and pulled out a small knife, and gestured at the sun a few times, deliberately letting the sunlight on the knife reflect off the eyes of the men. Then, without changing his face, he put away all the knives, put them into a small bag of delicate animal skins, and slowly put them into his arms, leaving only one to play with in his hand.

"Atu, where did you get your knife?" Finally, a tall, thin man couldn't help but ask.

"Acquired. In the north, those red-bearded savages from the ghost side used this kind of small knife to cut meat and eat it, and I looked good, so I bought a few. Ah Tu said with a shy smile.

"How much money you bought, sell it to me. I can trade a mule for your knife. The tall, lanky man said with a smile.

"A mule? You're kidding! I was there to sell horses, and you know, those red-bearded ghosts only knew horses, not mules at all. I got it with two horses. Atu said.

The tall and thin man had wanted to discuss, but when he heard that two horses could only be exchanged for a small knife, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"Atu, you won't be a liar, how can there be such an expensive knife!" The tall, lanky man said loudly, his somewhat flabby Adam's apple shaking a few times.

Ah Tu ignored the man no longer and took out a bronze sword from his bosom, which seemed to be a pretty good weapon.

He held the bronze sword in his hand as if he were carrying a burning stick, and sharpened it with a small knife carelessly.

The men in Tianshui Village looked straight in their eyes.

The sword, which could have been taken outside for two or three horses or seven or eight mules, was cut into mud by a small knife, and in the blink of an eye it fell to the ground with copper shavings.

Unconvinced, a man came over with a mutter, grabbed a handful of copper filings from the ground, pinched them with his fingers, bit them a few more times with his teeth, and watched the sun with bated breath for a long time, and then said dejectedly: "Damn, it's true." ”

The other men were dumbfounded, took the copper dust in their hands, and studied it for a long time before they shook their heads and sighed.

"Atu, you also know that there are only more than two hundred horses in our Tianshui Village, and they don't belong to us. That's the public property of Tianshui Village, and we don't have the right to take it out and exchange things. Otherwise, let's turn it into a mule, and I'll give you three mules in exchange for a small knife, okay? A stout, black-headed man said loudly.

"No, the market outside is that one horse can be exchanged for four or five mules, and I can't lose money." Ah Tu said with a bitter face.

"It's all from Tianshui Village, just suffer a small loss and sell it to us!" Someone chimed in.

"Nope." Ah Tu resolutely refused them, and took the knife into his arms.

"I've never seen such a black-hearted person, Atu, you're too much."

"That is, you still have to live in Tianshui Village in the future, why make everyone unhappy for a small knife?"

……

The men of Tianshui Village, most of the bandits brought by Wang Huzi, were forcibly started by Guo Yang and Anu and became Tianshui Zhai people. These people are unobtrusive, and they can say anything without changing their faces.

"The knife is mine, and the mule is yours. Ah Tu also seemed a little annoyed, and simply ignored the men with a black face.

"Can the men's knives be put off for a moment?" Suddenly, a tall woman pushed through the crowd and walked to the front of Ah Tu's stall, grabbed a headscarf and tied it directly to her head.

"Wow, what a beautiful bandana!" The women around looked in amazement at the turban, which had been embroidered with simple but beautiful ornaments of a glittering silk thread, and was worn on the woman's head like a phoenix feather on a hen's head.

"How do you sell this bandana?" Several women asked in unison.

"This headscarf is cheap, and I exchanged it for three catties of salt in the Dongyi tribe. Since this aunt likes it, it's cheaper, and I'll exchange eight catties of salt for you. You are my first customer, so you can just make it cheaper and take five catties of salt. The others are just eight catties of salt, and not a single grain is missing. Ah Tu looked at the woman with a smile and said.

"What? It's only five catties of salt! OMG, look what we're all missing! A woman was a little annoyed because she had missed the cheapest and most beautiful turban, and turned her face to glare at her man in the crowd, and shouted, "Why don't you hurry home and get eight catties of salt!" ”

The man turned his head and went home angrily, and after a while, he each picked up eight catties of salt and threw it to Ah Tu viciously: "Take the salt and get rid of Lao Tzu!" ”

Ah Tu was not angry, and put away the small bag of salt with a smile, and continued to sell his small goods.

"I want this bandana!"

"This ivory comb is cheaper, two donkeys and a big fat pig for me, please, Atu."

"Keep this red silk thread for me, and I'll go back and get the salt. You have to keep it for me, or I'll see how I clean you up bunny! ”

"Mom, buy me a piece of candy, Mom, just a piece...... Woowoo woo ......"

……

The peaceful days of Tianshui Village were broken, and the culprit was that damn Atu.
