Chapter 14: Wealth or Disaster
Chapter 14: Wealth and Disaster
It is not unusual for a golden land to create a city, at least it does not seem to be unusual for Tie Xinyuan to be at all, there are many such cities in the world.
Of course, the number of deaths is also the highest.
After dawn, the snow still did not stop, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the mountains in the distance were already covered with snow, and the sky and the earth were vast.
Tie Xinyuan didn't go to the col, because Xu Dongsheng didn't call, and Meng Yuanzhi didn't come over, the col was very lively, and there was constantly the sound of walls collapsing and houses collapsing, it seemed that Xu Dongsheng and Meng Yuanzhi had already started looking for treasures.
The child came out of the hole wrapped in a blanket and like a mouse, and Tie Xinyuan and Tie Yi didn't see it, and boiled the broth by themselves.
Dried meat, dried vegetables, plus a little rice, a little salt, is a very good breakfast.
Perhaps smelling the smell of porridge, the wild child crawled halfway, and suddenly stood up and stopped climbing, and walked to the edge of the campfire in three or two steps, wrapped in a blanket, and hugged his dirty knees, waiting to eat.
If it was an adult, Tie Xinyuan promised that he would not come over so easily, even if he was cooking dragon liver and phoenix marrow, he would not come.
The child was different, he instinctively thought that these people would not hurt him, the sky was big, and the belly was the largest, so he came over.
It's just that his eyes are always staring at the boiling meat porridge in the hanging pot, and he doesn't even look at Tie Xinyuan.
"If you want to eat, wash yourself!" Tie Xinyuan said a Xiqiang dialect, everyone in this area should belong to the Xiqiang tribe.
The child said a word that Tie Xinyuan didn't understand at the fastest speed, and he still stayed by the campfire and was reluctant to leave.
Tie Yi grabbed the wild child one by one and waved his claws like a hook, and in three or two strokes he took off the bare sheepskin from the wild child's body, carried him to the sheepskin tube that had been prepared with hot water, and threw it into it casually.
The water in the sheepskin tube was so hot that the little savage screamed as soon as he was burned. But he was pressed into the hot water by the iron and couldn't move.
The wild child, who had been in the hot water for a while, finally got used to the temperature, and watched with tears in his eyes as Tie Xinyuan threw his rotten sheepskin into another fire, and he thought that the group might want to boil him and eat it.
It is estimated that this little wild child was almost soaked in hot water, so Tie San came over with a cruel smile, carried a brush for brushing the bristles of the war horse, and washed the little guy fiercely.
Such a dirty child. A bucket of hot water was obviously not enough, so Tetsuzo poured out the dirty water like ink inside, wrapped the guy in the blanket, changed the bucket of water, and continued to wash.
Of course, the hard bristle brush was uncomfortable on the body, and the little savage screamed again, Tetsu San didn't seem to hear it, and the huge brush cleaned the kid thoroughly, and the second bucket of water was still dirty.
Tie Xinyuan came over to take a look at this guy. He pinched his nose and jumped away, he had never seen such a dirty child.
When he threw it into the third bucket of water, the wild boy seemed to know that these few were not going to cook and eat him, and he was somewhat cooperative.
After Tetsusan helped the kid wash his hair, he found that this guy was actually quite cute, with a black face inlaid with a pair of black eyes that were very attractive, but his hair was slightly curly.
This is the unique physiognomy of the Xiqiang people.
There were still cheers from the col, and the seven people here in Tie Xinyuan looked at each other and smiled, and began to eat. The little black boy who was soaked in the fourth bucket of water also got a big bowl of porridge, and sat in the bucket and ate very happily.
The smug Xu Dongsheng and Meng Yuan walked straight over. Seeing the little black child sitting in the leather bucket eating, they also looked at each other and smiled, they thought that Tie Xinyuan was pedantic, and for the sake of a little black child, he even missed good things, which was really a big mistake.
'You have food there. Why do the two brothers have to come to the younger brother to eat? ”
Xu Dongsheng snorted proudly and said, "Brother, can't I spend money to buy it?" ”
As he spoke, he took out a rough gold ingot from his arms and threw it to Tie Xinyuan, who grabbed it hard, and his hand still sank involuntarily.
"Huh. What a big piece of gold ingot, does Lao Xu say that you have found the treasure? ”
Xu Dongsheng smiled at Meng Yuanzhi, and then laughed and said: "Boy, who asked you to be kind enough to save this wild man, just at this moment, Lao Tzu found a hidden gold cellar, which is full of this thing!" ”
Tie Xinyuan played with this rough gold nugget without any markings, and opened his mouth to ask, "You didn't ask those wild people you caught, where did all this gold come from?" ”
Xu Dongsheng said with a cruel smile: "Lao Tzu doesn't care where they got it from, he only knows that now the gold belongs to Lao Tzu, and whoever robs Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will fight with whomever he wants." ”
Meng Yuanzhi picked up a heavy wooden box from behind him, and put it to Tie Xinyuan's side, seeing that the wooden box crushed the snow under it and collapsed a thick layer, this box of gold weighed at least one hundred and ten catties.
"It's your share."
Tie Xinyuan didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Little brother is welcome." ”
After Xu Dongsheng and Meng Yuanzhi had breakfast, they looked at the Gobi Desert covered with vast snow and were a little distracted.
Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "Take the gold of the two elder brothers for nothing, the younger brother is terrified, it is better for the younger brother to solve the gold transportation problem." ”
Xu Dongsheng was overjoyed and said: "What's the best plan? We don't have enough pack horses. ”
Meng Yuanzhi also frowned and said: "If we go to Yiwu Prefecture on foot, not only will there be not enough food, but people will also be exhausted, and if there are no war horses, it will be difficult for us to deal with the sand thieves in the desert." ”
Tie Xinyuan pointed to the thick white snow on the ground and said: "If there is no snow, I don't have a very good method, now that there is heavy snow, we can make a climbing plow, let the climbing plow slide on the snow, and take away your cellar of gold is no problem." Trust me, it's easy to make, and the wild trees in the valley can do the job. ”
"Go now!"
Xu Dongsheng sat up and walked up, he couldn't wait for a moment.
Tie Xinyuan didn't move, and asked Xu Dongsheng and them to cut down trees, while he came to the little savage who was sitting in the gradually cold bath water, took out a set of his own clothes from his bag, handed it to the little savage, and finally found a pair of old boots and put them next to the little savage.
Seeing that the little savage was clumsy in dressing, he stepped forward to help him put on all his clothes, and finally put on a pair of cotton socks for him and put on his shoes.
He looked down and shook his head, his clothes were still a little big for this kid to wear, but his boots seemed to fit well.
This may be the first time the little savage has worn boots, he stands on the ground with his feet alternate, and deliberately avoids the snow, cherishing the boots very much.
Helping the little savage tie his clothes on his belt, Tie Xinyuan got up and went to get busy, Xu Dongsheng's affairs there were very important.
After arriving at the mountain pass, Tie Xinyuan found that there was really a lot of gold, and in order to put all this gold into the box, Xu Dongsheng paid a lot, and he even lost a lot of precious goods.
The goods themselves had been left behind after a long selection of them, and now, in front of the gold, they were all discarded as easy as garbage.
Tie Xinyuan saw the tea bricks scattered on the ground, so he found linen cloth and collected them all, he believed that these things were much more precious than gold at some point, and he really didn't know why Xu Dongsheng was dazzled by gold.
"Take everything you need, brother, I don't want anything, brother, I only need food, water and gold now."
Tie Xinyuan pointed to the silk scattered on the ground and said, "This is simply creating evil. ”
Xu Dongsheng shook his head and said: "For Lao Tzu, grabbing the greatest profit is fundamental, if there are goods more precious than gold, Lao Tzu will also throw away the gold at will." ”
Tie Xinyuan shook his head and stopped talking.
Although the wild trees on the Gobi Desert do not grow large, the wood is extremely hard, which is the best material for making climbing plows.
In the evening, Tie Xinyuan helped Xu Dongsheng make four climbing plows, and after they put the gold on them, they tested it, and found that the climbing plows really walked on the ice and snow, which made Xu Dongsheng and Meng Yuanzhi very happy.
Tie Xinyuan couldn't be happy at all, two hundred people walked on the Gobi with so much gold, which was no different from a child walking in the downtown with a piece of gold.
And Xu Dongsheng and Meng Yuanzhi are already determined to live and die with gold.
Tie Xinyuan himself also has a climbing plow, even out two war horses to pull, he suggested that everyone go tomorrow, Xu Dongsheng and Meng Yuanzhi insisted on setting off immediately, tonight is cloudless, the moon shines on the snow, the Gobi is like day.
Tie Xinyuan divided his box of gold evenly into seven parts, he and Tie Yi each had one share, and after a box of gold was distributed to seven people, it would be inconspicuous.
The wild boy was reluctant to leave Tie Xinyuan, and stayed by the side of the pack horse and did not leave for a moment, for fear that Tie Xinyuan would not take him away.
Tie Xinyuan wanted to keep a long enough distance from Xu Dongsheng and them, but he still couldn't do such a thing, sighed, threw the wild child on the climbing plow, rode his war horse himself, and slowly moved forward with Xu Dongsheng's horse team.
Wherever the plough went, there were two very deep furrows in the snow, and the gold was too heavy.
Not only that, but every servant's horse was loaded with a heavy load of gold, and with such a large number of war horses, I don't know if they can still fight.
With gold, the nature of the caravan changed at once, and the troubles increased a hundredfold in an instant.
Even if the gods blessed it, the sand thieves ignored this horse team, and after arriving in Yiwu Prefecture, Mu Xin couldn't pass this level at all.
Xu Dongsheng chose not to tell Mu Xin, but there were two hundred people here, and wanting so many people to keep it secret together seemed like something that could not be done at all, all of which made Tie Xinyuan very worried. (To be continued.) )
