Chapter 111: Buying Food

In this Zhuang village, Sha Qi is not the supreme leader, Sha Qi is just a good Chinese speaker, responsible for dealing with the merchants who come to buy and sell, so he is exempt from part of the labor, originally he planned to explain a few words to Xu Deshan, but he didn't expect Xu Deshan to suddenly boast of Haikou.

Obediently, within a month, everyone in the village can get a bag of rice noodles, you know, how to say that there are 100 people in the whole village, a bag of rice noodles per person, that is 100 bags of rice noodles, not Sha Qi said frustrating words, growing so big, he has never seen a hundred and ten bags of rice noodles piled together.

Sha Qi immediately became angry, and his heart began to get excited, and he asked, "Is there any way you can make us have so much to eat at once?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "It's simple, you take my baggage." ”

Sha Qi was suspicious, looked at Xu Deshan for a while, turned around and went out, took Xu Deshan's burden, threw it in front of Xu Deshan, and said, "Here you go, tell me what you can do?" ”

Xu Deshan saw that his burden was wrinkled, twisted and crooked, and knew that the things inside must have been turned over, but this is normal, although people are masters outside the world, and people also have to support their families, Xu Deshan didn't care, opened the baggage, counted it, and made Xu Deshan a little surprised, there were a lot of things in the baggage, all of them were still there, and even the silver didn't move, and they were put together.

Xu Deshan put the other things aside, rummaged through it, and found a blank piece of paper, which was printed with complex patterns and regular characters, and at the back, a bunch of big seals were stamped.

Although Sha Qi can speak some Chinese, he doesn't know much about words, so he picked up the paper and looked at it over and over, but couldn't understand what was written on it, so he asked Xu Deshan, "What is this, it looks similar to the notice posted by the official." ”

Xu Deshan smiled and said, "This is much more valuable than the notice, you see, just this piece of paper can be exchanged for 10,000 taels of silver, do you believe it or not?" ”

Sha Qi exclaimed, "What do you say, this piece of paper can be exchanged for 10,000 taels of silver?" ”

Xu Deshan looked at Sha Qi and knew that Sha Qi hadn't really understood what the concept of 10,000 taels of silver was, and said with a smile, "It's not right, it's not 10,000 taels now, but 9,000 taels, but it's enough for you...... Well, a lot of eating and drinking. ”

Sha Qi looked at the piece of paper in disbelief, then looked at Xu Deshan, and said, "If you can really use this piece of paper to exchange the rice noodles back, we will let you go!" ”

Xu Deshan shook his head and said, "Let's go?" I don't want to go, why should I go, my family is gone, where am I going, I will live with you, and what I want to give you is not only rice and noodles, it is better to give them fish than to give them fish, what I want to give you is to be able to be independent and have a long-term source of food and money, not rice and noodles that can be eaten in a few days. ”

Xu Deshan said a lot, Sha Qi didn't really understand much, but the general meaning, Sha Qi understood, Sha Qi was ecstatic, pulled Xu Deshan out, came to a bamboo building in the center, Sha Qi became respectful, stepped forward and knocked on the door, after a while, a silly voice came from inside, Sha Qi agreed, and led Xu Deshan in.

This bamboo building, at first glance, is inhabited by a status person, not only is it larger, but even the furnishings are much better than Sha Qi's house, in this room, there is a white-haired old man with a majestic expression, looking at Xu Deshan who Sha Qi brought in with interest.

Sha Qi gave the old man a salute and said something to the old man, and the old man also showed a surprised expression, but then it dimmed, and Sha Qi said something, Sha Qi's expression was also a little disappointed.

Sha Qi turned his head and said to Xu Deshan, "Xu Deshan, this is the leader of our village, he said that you are a poor person, but also a good person, we don't want to hurt you, our village robbed halfway, it is really a last resort, this year's harvest in the village is not good, many people have begun to be hungry, so this is the decision, your idea is very good, the leader is very grateful to you, but the leader thinks this is unlikely, you Han people, and our Zhuang people themselves are two ethnic groups that are incompatible, we are on this mountain, we can only rely on the mountain to eat, Even to go to the road you walk, you have to climb over two mountains, even if the distance is closer, you Han officers and soldiers will come to drive away, trapped here, what development can there be, if you can bring us some food, it is considered a gift to us, we will thank you in the whole village, if you want to stay, we also welcome you, as for the rest, we have always lived in a village, and the leader feels that there is no need to change. ”

Xu Deshan nodded, he could understand the leader's thoughts, thinking that people of the leader's age would have their own wisdom, and responding to changes with the same is the most moderate and safest way to solve things, Xu Deshan didn't say anything more, nodded, and Sha Qi led Xu Deshan out.

After coming out, Sha Qi was a little embarrassed, and stopped talking to Xu Deshan, wanting to ask something, but he was embarrassed to speak, Xu Deshan was amused in his heart, and said, "Sha Qi, do you want to ask me where the food for you is?" ”

Sha Qi nodded embarrassedly and said, "Yes, there is a shortage of food in the village now, so ......"

Xu Deshan said, "This is easy to do, in my baggage, there are some scattered silver, you want food, as long as you take the silver, go to the nearest Qinzhou city, buy dozens of buckets of rice to save the emergency, it is not a problem." ”

Sha Qiwei said, "I naturally know the method you said, but I and other foreigners, let alone going to your state capital, even if we go to the bottom of the mountain, we will be driven away, how can we buy food?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "If that's the case, then I don't know if you can trust me." ”

Sha Qi was puzzled, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "You can give me the money and let me buy food for you." ”

Sha Qi was choked and a little embarrassed, Sha Qi is a thin-skinned person, Xu Deshan has been arrested for less than half a day now, and he is not his comrade no matter how he says, but Xu Deshan is so enthusiastic, Sha Qi is embarrassed to refuse Xu Deshan, but in case this is Xu Deshan's trap, when he arrived at the place of the Han people, Xu Deshan ran away, how could he bear this responsibility.

Xu Deshan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Look, this is the situation now, you either believe me, or you have to go hungry, huh...... Why don't you find me some work to do and discuss it yourself? ”

Sha Qi was moved by Xu Deshan's thoughtfulness, and the honest and honest Sha Qi really found something for Xu Deshan to do, and then went to the leader to discuss it for a long time, and finally came to Xu Deshan again, and happily agreed.

Xu Deshan was not surprised by this result, these Zhuang people were about to starve to death, and then there was ready-made food in front of them, it was strange that they were not moved, not to mention that it was useless for them to hold on to themselves, even if they were a flower girl, they were big perverts, they would obediently send themselves out to buy food.

But Xu Deshan is like a dog skin plaster, since he has come here, it is difficult to let him out, even if he goes, he has his own conditions, and his conditions are very legitimate, he is alone, even if it is iron, how much grain can a person transport, not to mention that there are several mountains and dozens of miles of mountain roads from Qinzhou City, how can he go over as a child, if you want Xu Deshan to buy grain, you must first send a few people to follow him.

Sha Qi had no reason to refute Xu Deshan's condition, thought for a while, and asked, "How many people do you want to follow you?" ”

Xu Deshan waved his hand and said, "As much as you want, anyway, as much food as you go, you can transport back as much food, you can do it." ”

Sha Qi didn't feel a little unhappy with Xu Deshan's arrogant tone, but felt extremely happy, you see, he asked Xu Deshan to buy food alone, but instead of taking the opportunity to escape, he took the initiative to ask someone to follow, if those prisoners in the past were so conscious, how good it would be.

Sha Qi immediately went to discuss with the leader, that night, Sha Qi gathered all the young adults in the village, introduced Xu Deshan to everyone, and told everyone that Xu Deshan was going to Qinzhou to buy grain, everyone cheered, but some of them also had questions, asking Xu Deshan how to answer when he met the Han people when so many people went down the mountain, not to mention that these people didn't even have a complete set of clothes, and went to the city, which seemed quite embarrassing.

Of course, some of them are worried that Xu Deshan is a trap, and Xu Deshan wants to lead everyone into the ambush of the Han people and wipe everyone out.

Xu Deshan is pleased with these views of everyone, after all, people can only be called people if they have thoughts, and only when they have thoughts can they be generated, and as long as they have, Xu Deshan has the confidence to defeat them with the experience of being rich.

As for the fear of being embarrassed without clothes, this is a sign of racial progress, people know that etiquette and shame can have culture, order, and motivation, which is a good thing, to be encouraged, to carry forward, to take such an idea as a seed, to take root and sprout in this tribe.

Although there are different voices in the tribe, those who support Xu Deshan still occupy the majority, so Sha Qi selected more than a dozen of the most elite men in the tribe, plus himself, after resting for one night today, he will go to Qinzhou City early tomorrow morning.

After confirming the goal, the current Xu Deshan is no longer a prisoner, but has become a treasure in the tribe, a large moving granary, everyone, even those who don't like Xu Deshan, hope that Xu Deshan can bring them enough food tomorrow, so, Xu Deshan's treatment tonight is undoubtedly very good, for fear that Xu Deshan will not adapt to the soil and water, and he will be sick and unable to move the next day, so the dry food that Xu Deshan put in his baggage was returned to Xu Deshan, and in addition to these dry foods, The rest is the clothes worn by Yin Liang and Xu Deshan, and a bunch of iron lumps that I don't know what to use, since Xu Deshan promised to use the Yin Liang Gang to buy food, then these things are useless for others to take, so they are all returned to Xu Deshan.

Now it's okay, Xu Deshan was arrested, but in less than a day, Xu Deshan successfully changed from a captive to a guest, and he was also a guest, after dinner, Xu Deshan was originally arranged a bamboo building to show respect, but Xu Deshan followed Sha Qi in vain, and Sha Qi lay on the same bed.

Shaqi is also a person with a wife and a baby, that is, Xu Deshan is still young

, It's not very annoying to do this, you see that if Xu Deshan is like this when he is a teenager, I am afraid that he will not be driven out by Shaqi's mother-in-law with a broom.

In this way, Xu Deshan and Sha Qi lay together, Sha Qi politely said a few words, and he was ready to sleep, after all, he had to travel a long way tomorrow, and he had to ship food, which was a physical work, so he could rest and have strength tomorrow, but Xu Deshan didn't, he shook Sha Qi vigorously, and said, "Sha Qi, why are you in such a hurry to sleep, the night is still long, let's seize the time to use it and do something meaningful." ”

Sha Qi said in a daze, "It's dark, what else is there to do, hurry up and go to sleep, I have to hurry tomorrow." ”

Xu Deshan said, "What's the hurry to sleep, after you die, there is time to sleep, you see I came to your village, the language is not clear, I don't know anyone else, now while we are together, you teach me to speak your language." ”

Sha Qi said impatiently, "Although our language is not as broad and profound as yours, it is not something that can be learned in a while, even if I teach you in the middle of the night, how much can you remember, besides, I won't teach it, don't say it, sleep, sleep." ”

Xu Deshan then shook Sha Qi and said, "It's okay, as long as the grammar is similar to Chinese, it's easy to learn, isn't it just a matter of memorizing words, then I'll ask you and see how the effect is." ”

Sha Qi suddenly regretted it a little Xu Deshan stayed, when he robbed Xu Deshan, he should have only robbed the property and left Xu Deshan in place, you see that after snatching it back, it is more annoying than a fly, there is no way, Sha Qi said, "Then you ask." ”

Next, it's time to teach, Xu Deshan first started with the simplest "you, me and him", then simple words, then simple sentences, I don't know how long it took, let's put it this way, Sha Qi lay down after dark, and felt that he had drunk water several times in a daze, Xu Deshan was still on top of his head, and finally Sha actually didn't have the strength to deal with Xu Deshan, and as a result, Xu Deshan began to practice speaking by himself there, of course, it was full of mistakes, and Sha Qi couldn't help but correct Xu Deshan, Grinding back and forth, knowing that there was a hint of white in the east, Xu Deshan fell asleep on the bed, and Sha Qi didn't have to sleep, it was time to get up and cook.

This is this night, Xu Deshan obediently obeyed Sha Qi's system, if anyone said that Xu Deshan wanted to escape, Sha Qi was the first to rush up and slap him, the person who wanted to escape, did he pull someone to nag all night and not sleep, Sha Qi was listless, and he had no energy to eat.

After eating, the clansmen selected yesterday gathered at the door of Shaqi's house, waiting for Shaqi and Xu Deshan to set off together, but the problem came, Xu Deshan didn't get up alive or dead, he was in a daze, and he wanted to sleep with Shaqi's arm.

Sha Qi has been a father, for this kind of coquettish way of children, Sha Qi has no way, seeing that it has been delayed for some time, there is no way, Sha Qi can only carry Xu Deshan on his back, out of the bamboo building, everyone sees this, but it is not strange, who called Xu Deshan came like this yesterday, and then carried him out, not surprising at all.

So, everyone set off, and Xu Deshan, whoever told him to pretend not to hear, hugged it firmly, just didn't get off Shaqi's back, but Xu Deshan had an advantage, that is, he didn't pick the bed, and when Shaqi was tired, as long as someone carried it, he could change anyone, so he crossed the mountains and mountains, and everyone came to the edge of Qinzhou City.

This is already the scope of Qinzhou City, but just down the mountain, far from the city gate, everyone no longer goes forward, this is a mountainous area, belongs to the world of the Zhuang people, and further on, it is the place where the Han people live, Sha Qi doesn't know what to do next, so he can only pat Xu Deshan and signal Xu Deshan to the place.

Xu Deshan was very obedient and knew that the time had come to use himself, so he immediately woke up from his slumber, looked around, said hello to the road, and then asked everyone to rest in place here, at least half a day, more than a day, and he would definitely be able to send food here.

Everyone has no choice, they have already arrived here, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they can only go forward, Sha Qi agreed, and asked everyone to find a place to rest, Xu Deshan walked alone in the direction of Qinzhou City.

Seeing that Xu Deshan was gone, even if Sha Qi believed in Xu Deshan again, he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, I don't know what the result is, what everyone can do now is only wait, live like a year.

Seeing that the time passed little by little, it was getting late, and the hearts of Sha Qi and the others cooled down a little, but think about it, there is still a distance from Qinzhou City, plus Xu Deshan still has to buy food, it always takes some time, didn't Xu Deshan also said it, less than half a day, more than one day, today Xu Deshan can't come back, it's normal, the climate here is warm, and there is no need to prepare anything at night, everyone lived in the woods for a night, and waited until the next day, and waited until noon, Waiting for the anxiety in Sha Qi's heart, I was afraid that Xu Deshan would run away like this, if Xu Deshan ran away, how could he have the face to go back to the cottage.

At this time, I only heard movement in the distance, everyone came to the spirit, stood on a high place and looked, and sure enough, I saw someone pushing a cart, and the cart was full of food, and the person who walked in the front was not Xu Deshan!
