Chapter 23: Shang Wu's Thoughts

Shang Wu had a headache when he thought about how to face Lu Lu, Shang Wu didn't want to lie and deceive Lu Lu and couldn't find a better reason to convince Lu Lu.

Shang Wu thought that it would be better to put it aside than to be entangled like this, so Shang Wu walked to the carriage of the gatepost, and told her that he was looking for the stone by the way when he told the doorpost to bring breakfast to Lu Lu, and that he really wanted to talk to the stone about how to arrange it because of the matter of the settlement, so he walked to the carriage of the stone.

————————————————

Don't look at Shang Wu in the business of the old and steady, but after all, only fifteen or sixteen years old, has always adhered to the maintenance of a certain distance from people, even the people around him do not like to be too close, the reason is that Shang Wu does not want to show timidity in front of people, after all, experience and age are not rich, outsiders see the performance is just in the business village environment and the way of doing things matured by the elders, that is not Shang Wu's nature.

If the previous strong push of Lu Lu and the shame of the environment and the fact that the merchants who knew about it did not dare to chew the root of their tongues, everything was within the control of Shang Wu, and Shang Wu's disposal was quite appropriate.

So the crow this time completely put Shang Wu like a yellow flower girl to the blue sky and white day humiliation, although the crow has no intention of thinking about bad things, and is willing to support Shang Wu, but after all, the crow is an outsider, and has a great advantage in mind and socially, once out of control, Shang Wu's face will be completely lost.

For people who are only fifteen or sixteen years old, although they are already men who stand up to the sky in this social environment, after all, the experience is still shallow, and in addition to the fact that Lu Lu is still in the stage of you and me, Shang Wu at this time has a feeling of inexplicable cheating and being broadcast live throughout the whole process, which is comparable to swallowing a fly and not being able to spit it out.

The stone pointed to the marks of various marks on the map spread on the ground, and said what each mark represented, what distance there was, even if the stone was a wood, the head obviously felt that Shang Wu was uneasy, and he didn't dare to ask Shang Wu's opinion, Shang Wu was silent and didn't speak, and the depressed stone could only explain the map that had been explained again and began to talk about the small things again, and Shang Wu was in a bad mood and didn't dare to say the same thing on both sides.

At this time, Shang Wu didn't have the heart to listen to the stone's chatter, and the stone kept talking endlessly, Shang Wu was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and say something heavy to the stone, so he jumped a few things and asked the stone.

"Okay, okay, it sounds like my head hurts, you told me that we were already building a house according to the last estimated time, but why are we still on the road now." Shang Wu had already tried his best to restrain the heavy words in his tone brought about by his upset, but after the words came out, he also found that there was something wrong in his tone.

So I hurriedly added:

"Watching the elderly in my family follow us along the way, I feel a little guilty." Shang Wu lowered his voice and speed a little, trying to make Shi feel that he was not blaming him, but just understanding the old man's suffering.

"It's all bad stones, there were some situations along the way, so that the clan elders and the head of the family suffered, I have arranged to go down this time, send the first car to explore the road first, and the road problems will be detected and dealt with as soon as possible, so as to avoid the sudden situation before and delay a lot of time and let the clan elders have less bumps in the car." Shi lowered his head and said, not daring to look at Shang Wu for fear that Shang Wu would lose his temper.

"Since you have a plan in mind, I will not interfere much, everything depends on the result of your actions. You are busy, I'll go look around somewhere else" Shang Wu was annoyed by last night's incident in his heart, he just wanted to pull himself out of his bad mood, it seems that he still can't make himself quiet, since Shi has his own arrangements here, Shang Wu will let him do things.

Shang Wu got up and dropped the stone and walked away, Shang Wu stopped all the way, and unconsciously walked to his carriage, can he not be tired after being tossed by the crow for so long, Shang Wu felt that he was so tired that he didn't know how to fall asleep, and when Shang Wu woke up, the morning bird song had sounded outside the sky. Shang Wu especially didn't want to get up, the incident of the crow that night was a hurdle that Shang Wu couldn't get over in his heart.

"You wake up, get up quickly, you got up early yesterday morning and you were gone, and when you came back at noon, you found that you had fallen asleep in the quilt, and you were sleeping very deeply, you couldn't wake up, what were you doing with the stone, go out and come back in the morning and sleep directly tired for an afternoon and a night." Lu Lu saw that Shang Wu had woken up, and according to Lu Lu's character who couldn't hide things in his heart, he directly asked all the questions in his heart.

Shang Wu was shocked when he heard Lu Lu's voice, after all, he did something sorry for her with the crow, for fear that Lu Lu would know, after listening to Lu Lu's words, a heart that mentioned his throat and eyes finally fell a little.

"You go back and ask the little fish to come to the root of the mountain ginseng, cut a ginseng and cut it every day to make tea with me, just raise the qi, I am easy to get sleepy in the spring rainy season, and it is better to drink ginseng tea when I am sleepy. Don't tell anyone about my snooze for fear that they will worry. Shang Wu said sloppily, staring at the road for fear of saying it out, so that the doorpost was worried.

"That's right, okay, I'll go find Xiaoyu later, and say that you want to drink ginseng tea to refresh yourself." Lu Lu said with a mischievous smile with a wink. She wanted Shang Wu to praise her for her cleverness.

"It's better to say that we're smart." Shang Wu saw that Lu Lu wanted him to boast carefully, so he praised her along Lu Lu's train of thought.

Lu Lu also smiled when he heard Shang Wu's praise, and immediately got out of the carriage to find Xiaoyu and ask for mountain ginseng.

Shang Wu watched Lu Lu run out of the carriage in a smoke, and the heart in his heart was put down a little, and now what Shang Wu was most afraid of was that the crow suddenly came to the door, and then made trouble with Lu Lu, Shang Wu really had the heart to die.

Shang Wu sat quietly in the carriage and sorted out the chaotic things in the past few days, Shang Wu finally brought everyone out of the merchant village completely, but he didn't expect so many things to happen along the way, and his original heart was also turbulent by this incident.

Shang Wu is now thinking about these people and belongings now:

1. The Venerable One in the Family

The family has its own head of the family, and then the old people of each family, most of these people are old people who are nearly fifty years old or early fifty years old with their grandchildren, fortunately, these families have children early, otherwise they will not see their great-grandchildren. A few days ago, the morning tea has understood the thoughts of several old people, and the old people are most afraid of man-made disasters in the family, so now the old people in the family are still very united, and they don't want to have their own plans and interests in the merchant village, and there is little harmony between each other.

2. Deacons in the home

The doorposts, stones, small fish, big butts and others are all entangled in the things in their hands, and they are already the core people in the family, so naturally there will be no moths, as long as they don't chill their hearts too much, there will be no problems. You can rest assured.

3. Outsiders

Now as long as the crow does not make trouble with the road, it has stabilized one-third of the power of the outsiders, and the outsiders can't penetrate too deep into the merchants, it is relatively easy for them to hold together, the crows have leaned towards their side, and even if there is a problem with the other parties, there will be stones to press and the doorposts to coordinate, and the crows will also assimilate or fight dissidents from it.

4. Food, clothing and other materials at home

Most of them can be replenished on the spot, hunting can bring animal skins, animal skin clothing, but also bring meat, wild game and wild fruit picking to enrich the food reserves that have been thinking about it.

5. Key materials

Supplies such as salt, metallurgical products, cloth, and other materials that cannot be replenished at this stage can only be exchanged with mountain people or villagers in the form of bartering along the way.

When the settlements are cultivated or refined on the spot, the remaining part is traded to the nearest town.
