The weather in the mountains is really changeable, and it is even more unreasonable.

It had just fallen an inch of snow, but after a day of bright sunshine, the snow melted, moistening the dry ground and providing a large amount of soil water for planting crops the following year.

The road is walkable, although the road in the valley is occasionally a little muddy, but it is not so difficult. The top of the mountain and the shaded side of the mountain in the back of the sun are still covered with snow, but it forms a nice scenery.

Nurwan also has a castle, and the walls of the castle are actually not much stronger than those of Larouk, but the area of the stockade seems to be much larger than that of Larouk.

Laruk led more than 200 armed clansmen to block the gate of Nurwan's house, and Orusha's representative stood up and shouted to the low city wall, "Call Nurwanzmo to come out, we have come to collect debts!" ”

When the people on the city wall saw that there were many people coming below, and each of them was armed with a weapon, they knew that it was not good to come, and they did not dare to open the door, so they immediately went back to tell Nurwan.

Nurwan, a middle-aged man of nearly fifty years, was also tall and mighty, but he only gave birth to one daughter. He knew that sooner or later his territory would be handed over to his precious daughter Ulo, and he was afraid that a woman Zimo might not be so easily convincing, so he took great pains to establish a savage image for himself, so that others would be in awe when they heard his name.

And opening a mine, in fact, also wants to accumulate more wealth for his daughter, because in the mountains, it is always good to have more money, and with money, even if you encounter difficulties, you can use the money to find someone to help you tide over the difficulties.

The copper mine, which was discovered the year before last, although it is not a copper-rich mine, but the copper ore produced by selling it to the Han people can still bring him a considerable income every year, because there is really no output in the mountains that can be sold at a good price.

The game in the mountains, the juicy and peculiar flavor of the mountain fruits, and the mountain mushrooms collected in late spring and early summer every year are only a small amount of money even if they are sold.

However, there are Han timber merchants who have come to their mountains to investigate, and there are some very primitive trees with thick trunks in the mountains, which should be very valuable, but unfortunately they can't be transported after being cut down, and they can only give up later.

Counting on growing grain, there is no money to be made, the grain of the Great Song Dynasty is very abundant, the price of grain is not high, and the output of the barren land in his territory is not much left, except for filling the stomachs of the clansmen.

Therefore, opening a mine and selling ore is the only way to make a lot of money nowadays, and it is not difficult to understand that Nurwan attaches great importance to the mine.

Nurwan's territory was originally quite numerous, and compared to neighboring Larukzimo, it was almost twice the population of the Laruk Tribe.

However, in order to get the support of the people in the family to pass on the position of Zmo to his only daughter Ulo in the future, Nurwan did not want to risk offending people, so he asked the family branch of the family to do the hard work of mining the mines.

In this way, it is overstretched in terms of employing people, after all, the number of people in his own Xiaxi is limited, which directly leads to the low output of the mine, in order to expand production, he can only borrow people from the surrounding Zimo territory or directly take people back to work.

The powerful Zimo didn't dare to offend, so he could only think of looking for a source of labor in a relatively weak Zimo territory like Larouk, which led to all this incident.

Nurwan, who was not yet fifty years old, felt much older, and every day after breakfast, he had to go back to his room to take a nap.

But today, I don't know why, I always feel that something bad will happen in my heart, lying on a comfortable bed and forcing my eyes, but I can't sleep.

As he was tossing and turning in his irritation, he heard the person outside the door shouting carefully, "Lord Zmo, Larouk has come to the door of our stockade with hundreds of people armed with weapons, saying that they are here to collect debts." ”

Nurwan sat up, his mouth vicious but full of disdain, "Larouk, what is wrong today? Do you have the audacity to come to my door? ”

He got up and put on a coat and followed the man to the gatehouse, and looked down, and was really shocked in his heart, this fat man Laroux didn't seem to be joking this time, and he brought so many people to find trouble.

But after thinking about it again, according to what he knew about Laruc in the past, this fat man didn't look like such a bold person, why did he suddenly straighten his waist a little?

At the bottom of the city, Larouk saw Nurwan appear at the head of the city, put his legs together and clamped the horse under his crotch, and took a few steps forward and shouted in the direction of Nurwan, "Nurwan, should you pay me back?" And the people of our family, shouldn't they be returned to me? ”

Nurwan didn't like Larukzimo in his heart, this kid was ugly, but for some reason this kid had a surprisingly good fate, and at the age of his early forties, he married more than a dozen wives, and then these wives gave him more than a dozen children.

Thinking about himself again, he also has a few wives and concubines, but except for the eldest wife who gave birth to a daughter Ulo, the other mothers-in-law have nothing.

This incident was spread as a laughing stock in the circle of Daliangshan Zimo, which made him Nurwan feel disgraced, and the most annoying thing was that every time Zimo participated in a major celebration or festival together, Larouk deliberately bragged in front of him about his wife and adding a son to him and other annoying things.

Nurwan sneered and shouted to Laruk, "Silver? Not now, when I sell the ore, I will naturally have a lot of silver, and I will naturally send you a lot of money when the time comes.

Need? That's impossible, you'd better not make me Nurwan angry, and quickly take these children of yours back to your own village, otherwise, hum, I'm Nurwan starting a fire, don't say just these few people, I don't care about such people coming! ”

Larouk felt that Nurwan's words were no different from humiliating him, and said in his heart that I didn't have to fight with you when I brought someone here, even if you say a few soft words, return the money first, and wait until the spring of next year to return it, I didn't come in vain this trip, at least I have face, right?

But if you don't give me any face, I won't be able to get off the stage, if I just swallow my anger and turn my head back, do I still want face?

When Laruk was about to have a seizure, Amu hurriedly came forward to comfort his father not to be like a barbarian, and at this moment, a family member behind Nurwan suddenly rushed to the city with a shout, "Lord Zmo, it's not good, Ulo, she's ...... Fainted! ”
