Chapter 9: Heading North (1)
Seven people dressed as ordinary merchants in a small city went all the way out of Jingzhou City to Henan.
Several people are still suitable, especially that Zhao Gang is open-mouthed, just asking for a good talk, and he is a little afraid of Xue Liang. According to what he said, if you don't vomit or be happy, you will be comfortable when you say it, and something will happen if you hold it back. At first glance, he is a reckless man without scheming, but he is indeed suitable for Xue Liang to be a gunman.
Li Chao and Liu Xiao obviously knew the importance of protecting their lives, and only answered a few words piecemeal. I really can't avoid saying some ambiguous words such as "it is reasonable, we don't dare to show ugliness if we don't have enough knowledge, so as not to laugh and be generous", and there will never be a little uncertainty on my face.
That Yi Jun was even more wonderful, he didn't say a word except to say hello along the way, just walked with his head bored. Zhao Gang greeted him a few times, but he just nodded and smiled, and then he was silent again. made Zhao Gang angry, if it weren't for Xue Liang's repeated dissuasion, Yi Jun would probably have a blue nose and swollen face.
There is a saying that "Wangshan runs a dead horse", Xue Liang and the seven people drove the carriage forward non-stop, and it was not until noon that they actually reached the first hill bag.
They were all so tired and out of breath that they had no choice but to stop and rest, leaning on the side of the car and nibbling on pickle cakes.
A group of rough men sitting together couldn't be like well-dressed dignitaries and dignitaries who 'didn't eat or sleep', so they naturally set up a dragon gate array while eating.
That Zhao Gang is the most self-cooked, and he can't hold back half a sentence, which is considered a chatterbox. As soon as he sat down, he forgot Yi Jun's temperament and leaned over.
Seeing this, Shi Bin understood why Xue Liang wanted to pick Zhao Gang. Not only is there no scheming, but there is no grudge.
may have thought that he was tired from hiking at the time, so Yi Juncai ignored him, and now that he has rested, he should give him some face and say a few words to him. But that Yi Jun was still silent, so he took advantage of the excitement and returned in defeat.
Li Chao and Liu Xiao were too empty and didn't tell the truth for a long time, and Zhao Gang finally came to Shi Bin's side to talk.
Finally, he found two people who were willing to talk to him, and Zhao Gang immediately smiled.
"Shi Bin, I heard that the two of you came to join the army together? Are they all Hunanese? Or are you a brother? Zhao Gang asked curiously.
"Yes, they are all Hunanese. It's a wild place, I'm just a mountain hunter, Ah San is a foot trader with a bit of martial arts, and his knowledge is much wider than mine. β
"Big brother is polite, my life was saved by my big brother. Zhao Gang, don't you know, in the cold winter, Brother Shi left me that little ration, and went hunting in the mountains by himself. Wang San said to Zhao Gang. You don't know, if it weren't for my eldest brother, I would have seen Lord Yama earlier. β
"Oh... I didn't expect Brother Shi to be such an affectionate and righteous person! The younger brother is really envious, Wang San, you are really lucky to have such a big brother. After hearing this, Zhao Gang looked even more impressed.
"Then Zhao Gang, where are you from?" Shi Bin couldn't help asking.
"The younger brother is from the north, his father is Han, and his mother is Mongolian. But he was not born well, and he fled here. can speak Mongolian and a few Jurchen words, so he was brought by Xue Huochang to be a porter. β
"How do you think you're a little afraid of Xue Huo's appearance?" Wang San said with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, not afraid. But Brother Wang, it's better not to ask. The fire chief is good to my family, but it is not good for you to know it, and it will save you trouble. Li Gang said with a smile.
In fact, even if Zhao Gang didn't say it, Shi Bin and the others could guess a rough idea. Zhao Gang's performance seems to be reckless, but he is a family person, such a person is actually the most cautious and does not dare to make a mistake. It is estimated that Zhao Gang's family is at Xue Liang's place.
After lunch, I walked for dozens of miles, and finally arrived at the first small inn at about three o'clock.
As soon as they entered the inn, several people were like a group of guys who had run out of the refugee camp, as if they hadn't eaten or drunk for a few days, and they were shouting for good wine and meat as soon as possible.
Shi Bin couldn't help but recall the warmth of his previous life at home, and now he deeply feels the preciousness of a well-off life.
Another mountain trek, but this time it wasn't a simple hunt. Walking in this mountain forest requires a lot of stamina, while hunting doesn't require much stamina, just patience and explosiveness. By the time he got there, he didn't know if he was running with his head or his legs with his head.
He really fantasized that if only he could have a car or a motorcycle, he really didn't have a bicycle and it wouldn't be bad. Looking at the few guys on the side who can still sit and joke, I am really envious, I am not strong enough.
It didn't take long for a few plates of peanuts and pork in sauce to be served. What frightened him was a large bucket of rice, and although he knew that the people down the mountain ate a lot of food, it was also very much surprising to him.
It was just a cup of tea, and the bucket of rice was wiped out. Looking at Shi Bin's stunned appearance, Wang San couldn't help but smile and said: "My brother lives in the mountains and eats a lot of meat, so he naturally doesn't understand our life. In this field, there is only some rice and vegetables, where is there any meat? Do you want your little brother to tell you a joke? β
Of course, I know that these people who live under the mountain can't eat much meat, but they have never seen people eat rice like this, aren't they afraid of eating too much and getting stomach problems?
"Jokes? Brother, please say, for brother, I want to hear it. β
"Our local wealth mainly recruits a daughter-in-law, and we finally chose a suitable one." Wang San smiled weirdly and said, "We all know that this rich man's family is of course still a little carnivorous, but it won't be too much, right?" β
Shi Bin nodded, and Zhao Gang also leaned over and asked, "It's very simple, just cut it thin." β
"That's true. Therefore, the first condition for the rich man to recruit a daughter-in-law is not the family, not the appearance, nor the virtuous, but the sword skills. β
Several people couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard this. This can indeed make everyone a lot easier when they are extremely tired, but Wang San's appearance seems to be finished, and several people closed their mouths together and listened quietly.
It turns out that this knife skill has a level like all other trades, and this little daughter-in-law's skill is actually to the point where she can cut the meat slices to the point where she can see through.
This result was naturally surprising, and it also made Shi Bin completely understand the difficult life of ordinary people under the mountain. Even the landlord's family has to be so careful about eating meatγγγγγγ
With such a perennial lack of salt and oil, can the amount of rice not be three or four times that of him?
