Sha Qi was very surprised by Xu Deshan's arrival, and praised Xu Deshan in his heart for being a good boy who was affectionate and righteous, honest and trustworthy, looking at the food in the car, it was enough for the whole village to eat for a while, and everyone suddenly swept away the previous depression and was beaming, especially Sha Qi, jumped up and took the lead in rushing to Xu Deshan.

Sha Qi thought that Xu Deshan would be very happy to see him coming, at least he had to show off to himself, but Xu Deshan saw himself coming from a distance, and he had a frightened expression on his face, and shouted, "Oh no, the barbarians are coming to grab food, everyone run!" ”

This shout, the shouting Shaqi and the others hung up, and everyone hung a black face, didn't you say that you bought it for us, why is it robbed again now, isn't this scolding us, if we go to rob, it will not be more than you.

Although I think so, the effect is also obvious, those men who pushed the food, saw Sha Qi and others rushing over, they were so frightened that they hurriedly turned around and ran, they didn't even want a car, and after a moment of effort, they ran away, leaving only a few carts of food, which were given to Xu Deshan.

Sha Qi pulled Xu Deshan aside with a dark face, and asked solemnly, "Didn't you go to buy food, why didn't you come back until now, and then you bought it, why did you get to us and rob it, what the hell are you fighting this idea?" ”

Xu Deshan shrugged and said, "You think it's so simple to buy food for you, if I say that the food is for you, I'm afraid that people won't sell me food, I turned around for a long time, it was dark, I could only stay in Qinzhou City for one night, and the next day I was forced to think of such a way." ”

Xu Deshan still looked angry, and said directly, "Now that the food is here, you just say if you want it, if you don't want it, just throw it here!" ”

If it is more wasteful, I am afraid that no one can compare to Xu Deshan, I heard that Xu Deshan is going to throw so much food here, and his eyes are red in a hurry, and he shouted, "Yes, why not, this is what we waited for a day, everyone come here, let's transport these grains back!" ”

People are hungry and anxious, they can burst out with endless energy, seeing the food, those cottage people look thin and withered one by one, listless just now, and now they immediately become vigorous, rushing to the grain, each carrying an incredible amount of grain, and running up the mountain, for fear that it will be late, and the grain will be gone.

Although Sha Qi was ashamed of his people's uncompetitive performance, but after hesitating, Sha Qi couldn't resist the temptation, picked up the food, and ran back.

Sha Qi ran two steps, and heard Xu Deshan calling them from behind, "Slow down, I can't keep up, I don't know the way back." ”

Sha Qi stopped, and said with a strange face, "Xu Deshan, you are so smart, even if your whole family is killed by robbers, but you can still live well in the Han people, why do you have to follow us, our village is poor and partial, you can really bear it?" ”

Xu Deshan touched his nose and said, "Who knows, who told you to rob me, I will stay here with you and not leave, you are robbers, you have to pay attention to a little professional ethics, how can you let me go so easily." ”

Sha Qi's face was so wonderful, he stared at it for a long time, it is estimated that he had never seen such a strange thing as Xu Deshan, and finally said weakly, "If you want to follow, just follow, let's go slowly...... But we can't carry you on our backs, you'll have to walk on your own. ”

Xu Deshan agreed, smiled at Sha Qi, and then the group crossed the mountains and returned to the village.

The people in the stockade were looking forward to Sha Qi and others, and when they saw everyone coming back, they were still carrying a lot of food on their shoulders, and suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers, singing and dancing, surrounding everyone in the middle, and some people even hugged Xu Deshan and threw it into the sky, and the cheerful atmosphere lasted until it was dark.

Next, is the highlight of the celebration, Sha Qi estimated, these grains, is enough for the people in the village to eat for a month, if you can be more frugal, then you can eat longer, and the vacated month, has enough people to accumulate enough food, at least this year, no longer have to worry about food.

The women began to do it, and took out the jerky that they were usually reluctant to eat for the children to satisfy their hunger, and Xu Deshan, as both a hero and a child, got double the meat to eat, and was regarded as a guest, sitting next to the leader, and his status was even higher than Shaqi.

Xu Deshan didn't know how to speak Zhuang before, and he could only giggle in the face of others, nodding and smiling, but Xu Deshan learned Zhuang from Sha Qi all night, but it was a bit level, and now Xu Deshan ate two bites indiscriminately, came to the leader, and talked with the leader.

The interaction between people has always started from the routine, especially at the dinner table, you flatter me a few words, I flatter you a few words, and then everyone is good together, and they successfully become friends and open the topic, of course, Xu Deshan only learned Zhuang language for one night, and the pronunciation vocabulary has obviously not reached the level of being able to communicate normally, so the leader has to guess while being blinded, while making a comparison, and at the same time correcting Xu Deshan's pronunciation, that is, Xu Deshan just brought food to the village, and he is a hero, and the leader is not good at refuting Xu Deshan's face, Otherwise, at any time, the leader is so old, he can't help Xu Deshan's nagging, and he brushes his sleeves away.

Xu Deshan said that in the end, he talked about how to get rid of the dilemma of relying on the sky for the village to eat, and start his own business to increase income, no way, who called this the only topic between the two people.

Who is Xu Deshan, after going through the previous storms, how can Xu Deshan, who has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, endure the people in the cottage living such a poor life, and he still doesn't want to make progress, so he is self-contained.

So, Xu Deshan explained to the leader the advantages of their village, and the future ambition, but the leader did not listen to half of it, so he became impatient, and said, "Xu Deshan, you are a Han Chinese, naturally you have a lot of thoughts, but our clansmen, living in the mountains for generations, where you are smart, we live here, it is the arrangement of the gods, we just need to obey the orders of the gods, live here, we can do more, we don't want to go, we can't go." ”

Xu Deshan said, "But you live here, just by going up the mountain to hunt and pick fruits, watching the sky and eating, it is inevitable that you will encounter bad weather, such as now, if I don't bring you food, then you will starve, or go out to rob, rob less than enough to eat, rob more, officers and soldiers will immediately chase back, whether it is starvation or war death, the dead are inevitable, such a life, is it given to you by the gods?" ”

The leader said angrily, "Shut up, you Han man, don't want to bewitch my mind and slander the gods, I will have a fate here, and I don't need you to interfere." ”

The leader was angry, attracting the attention of people on the left and right, the leader was angry, glared at Xu Deshan, Xu Deshan scratched his head, and said to the leader, "Think about it, if you can do what I said, then your village will not be able to eat enough in the sky, how do you know that this is not given by the gods." ”

The leader snorted, obviously not very cold to Xu Deshan's words, Xu Deshan thought about it, and whispered to the leader, "Moreover, you can still drink every day." ”

Said that other leaders did not react, but when it came to wine, the leader's eyes suddenly widened, don't look at this village is poor, but the leader has lived so big, and he has also drunk wine, and the taste of wine, I am afraid that most men will linger on him, day and night, not much worse than women.

The leader secretly swept Xu Deshan with his eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, missed the taste of wine, and asked in a low voice, "This...... Can you really drink every day? ”

Xu Deshan hesitated and said, "As long as you do what I say, it's a little difficult to drink every day, but it's no problem every once in a while." ”

The leader struggled between faith and wine, and after a while, he fell to the wine very unambitiously, and began to take Xu Deshan's little hand, never mentioning any of his gods, and began to discuss the issue of wine.

This grand event lasted until midnight, the bonfire burned out, they were full of food and drink, and the energetic teenagers dispersed, and Xu Deshan ran to Sha Qi's place again, pestering Sha Qi to learn Zhuang language.

Sha Qi really wanted to refuse Xu Deshan, today Sha Qi and others carried food over the mountains and mountains, tired and half dead, and full of food, really beautiful sleep, but this time Sha Qi really couldn't refuse Xu Deshan, because this was personally ordered by the leader, Sha Qi could temporarily put down the other work in his hand and teach Xu Deshan Zhuang with all his might.

This is the first step of the three-step drinking plan proposed by Xu Deshan to the chief, that is, this village is a small tribe, and a small village, how can there be wine, so if you want to drink, you must break the national boundaries with the Han people outside, break the prejudice, be friendly and mutual assistance, and communicate with each other in order to drink good wine, and the key to the best of these works is to solve the most critical language problems.

So Sha Qi in addition to teaching Xu Deshan Zhuang, but also to gather the children in the village and teach them Chinese, and Sha Qi's Chinese speaking is no problem, but to teach others is a little stretched, at this time, Xu Deshan turned into another teacher, after quickly being able to speak fluent Zhuang with a local accent, Xu Deshan suddenly became the child and Sha Qi's teacher, even the language to Chinese characters, Xu Deshan taught that is called a serious.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, these cottage children, who have experienced a poor life, cherish the learning opportunities in front of them more than ordinary children, and after a few days of hard work, they have learned to look at the life dialogue, simple Chinese characters, Xu Deshan does not require them to have some, but at least, they can know some.

Of course, there are so many people in the village, the workload is so large, these people come to learn words, so there is more or less work left for others to do, so it will inevitably cause some complaints, a day or two is good to say, after all, Xu Deshan brought food to everyone, but after a long time, after more than ten days, the voice of dissatisfaction gradually broke out.

With comparison, there is harm, before the people in the village are doing the same thing, everyone suffers the same, no one can say whom, but after Xu Deshan came, every day just to teach children to read and speak, eat the best food, although Xu Deshan is also a child, but you call him so restrained, but he has to risk going up the mountain to hunt, which is a bit too unfair.

So, someone reported these things to the chief, the leader had already made an agreement with Xu Deshan, but the agreement was an agreement, and there were many people in the clan, and there were many people who complained, and the leader was inevitably a little loose in his heart, so he wanted to recruit

Xu Deshan came to talk, but at this time, Xu Deshan did something and gave the leader a reassurance.

It was a morning, Xu Deshan as usual and called the children to start reading and reading, this is a process, Xu Deshan taught the children to learn Chinese, he is also learning Zhuang language, at this time, the gate of the village erupted a burst of cheers, the children do not know how to read, all of a sudden ran to the gate, Xu Deshan strange, but look at even the adults in the village are running to the door, Xu Deshan also stood up and walked over.

Walking to the door, there have been a lot of people gathered here, Xu Deshan drilled into the crowd to see, it turned out that here is a merchant who sells goods, this merchant is a convoy, it is estimated that there are more than a dozen people, driving a few big cars, the car is loaded, most of the grain, salt, tea and cloth, the remaining small part, as well as some daily bits and pieces, the people in the village, gathered in front of these bits and pieces and looked at it happily.

Xu Deshan walked in and took a look, there are nothing too unusual about these bits and pieces, they are nothing more than small things such as mirrors, scissors, needles, threads, brains, etc., those businessmen don't care about this, they look at it with a smile, and the food behind them is the bulk of their money.

After a while, the leader and Sha Qi also came out, those merchants were obviously very familiar with Sha Qi, greeted each other with a smile, and said a few polite words to Sha Qi, and then, led Sha Qi to the side of the carts of food supplies, opened one of the bags, asked Sha Qi to look at the color, and then patted Sha Qi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Shaqi, there is no shortage of grain, but this year is a little different from previous years, this year's drought in Guangxi, there have been a lot of disasters, resulting in an increase in the price of grain, so this year's price may be more expensive than other times." ”

Sha Qi's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he asked, "What is the price this time?" ”

The merchant smiled and said, "Then it depends on what goods you have, if the condition is good, you can change more, if there is nothing that can be seen, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Sha Qi's face was cloudy, and he hurriedly found the leader to discuss, the leader's face became ugly, nodded to Sha Qi, Sha Qi ran back to the village, and after a while, he took out a tiger skin.

Sha Qi spread the tiger skin on the stone, everyone gathered around to watch, Xu Deshan also squeezed in the front, carefully looked at the color of the tiger skin, and couldn't help but have small stars in his eyes.

You must know that Xu Deshan is also a person who has seen the world, he can eat and live with the officials of the feudal territory, what kind of luxury items have not been seen, but even so, this tiger skin can definitely be regarded as a good product in all the things Xu Deshan has seen, this tiger skin is both big and thick, plush and smooth, and it is especially rare that this tiger skin is almost complete, which is an extremely rare product.

The merchant tugged at the tiger skin, obviously very satisfied with the tiger skin, nodded, and whispered to the people behind him, "Brother Shaqi, this tiger skin is still okay, only this skin can be exchanged for ten bags of grain." ”

Sha Qi suddenly looked anxious and said, "What? I can only exchange this tiger skin for ten bags of grain! This tiger is the most ferocious tiger in the mountains, and in order to catch him, we have injured five or six people, so we can exchange ten bags of grain? ”

The merchant smiled and said, "No way, now it is such a market, you only saw you fighting tigers and getting injured, where do you see the risk of us transporting grain in the mountains, if those officials are caught, all our family property will be gone." ”

Sha Qi hesitated, even if he didn't know the price of grain, but thinking with his toes, he also knew that the price of tiger skins was far more than ten bags of grain, and no one was willing to do such a loss-making business.

Seeing that Sha Qi was unwilling, the merchant gradually changed his face, and sneered: "Brother Shaqi, I didn't say you, you said that this tiger skin is placed here with you, what is the use, you can't wear it, you can't eat it, it's better to change a few bags of grain, this year's harvest is not good, I'm afraid you don't have anything to eat in this village." ”

Sha Qi's face became even more ugly, and said, "However, such a good tiger skin, how can you only exchange ten bags of grain, no, absolutely not." ”

The businessman looked like he was in pain, but he was already smiling in his heart, this bargaining war, Sha Qi lost from the beginning, at the moment Sha Qi opened his mouth, it means that Sha Qi has recognized the price he set, and the rest of the things are just floating up and down on his own price, even if Sha Qi bargains hard, what can he do if he doubles his price, such a tiger skin, as long as he takes out the mountain and sells it outside, it will be hundreds of thousands of times the profit, such a deal, no matter how he does it, he will not suffer a loss.

The merchant pretended to be reluctant and said, "Brother Shaqi, that is, the two of us have some friendship, and I also know your difficulties, so I will let you have another bag of grain, it's okay, but you can't do it more, and I will lose money if I have more." ”

If Sha Qi had the ability to bargain, he would not have been able to make the whole village hungry, but he gritted his teeth for a long time before he held back a sentence, "Add another bag." ”

The merchant is so beautiful, a good tiger skin, so he got it at a price that was almost picked up for nothing, but the beauty in the heart is the beauty in the heart, and the surface work has to be done enough, the merchant pretended to be in pain and hesitated for a long time, and was about to say yes, when he only heard a childish voice next to him say, "I will give me a hundred bags of grain, give me the tiger skin!" ”
