If there is no Mongolian horse team into the Kou, there is no need for the caravan to camp overnight, there are several large car shops with good scale in this node location, and it is said that there is also the operation of the Zheng family, but after this catastrophe, everything was destroyed, which is also the reason why Li Xiu's caravan should take the risk of partnering, if you don't partner, the danger of rushing is not small, and the danger of camping is even greater.

Although the two caravans were on guard against each other on the road, and after camping, they were clearly distinguished, but Li Xiu was a good man, and he came over early with wine and meat, and wanted to have dinner with Zhu Da and them.

"The people who farm the land have two meals a day, but we are not good businessmen, we don't have the strength to eat a meal, I don't know when I will delay things, and I can't save money on eating here when I go out, Brother Zhu, you are generous, and you can't be bad in the future." Li Xiu is much more proficient than Wei Daibei in terms of human affairs, and after getting acquainted with him, he is very close to him, and puts himself in the position of the elderly, which not only does not make Zhu Da feel sluggish, but comfortable.

After Li Xiu came here, he saw that the food of the hired workers was actually full of grain, and the mutton stewed in the cauldron was boiled, which was better than what he ate at home, so he sighed.

At this time, Zhu Da didn't need to be too tight, he drank a small half bowl of wine with the other party, he drank a lot of wine, and this bit of wine made his body slightly hot, but Li Xiu took a few sips of wine and talked about it.

"Don't hide it from Brother Zhu, when I don't know that you are Zhu Da, the old man thinks that you have a great future, and he must have a friendship with you, even if the old man himself doesn't need this friendship, there are always benefits to the children and grandchildren, not to mention anything else, this felt is not a bargain, it can be sold at a price everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing and thirteen provinces, you take it to the guys, you want to change the usual, the old man only thinks he is a fool, but he is so shrewd in business, how can he be a fool, Brother Zhu, you have great ambitions, amazing, amazing!"

After chattering a little, it let Zhu Da know that this Li Xiu's alcohol consumption is ordinary, and there are many words in front of him and he is a little vague when he says it, not like he is pretending, so he drank a little more than one or two, looking at the embarrassed and bitter smile of the guy who accompanied him, this amount of alcohol is not good and much more real.

If Li Xiu's caravan has any changes, it can't be hidden from here, even if the vigilance here is not relaxed at dinner, Zhu Da likes this state of idle talk very much, and replied with a smile: "It is estimated that this felt is not worth much money on the ground of the tartar, that is, it will be sold for a long distance to Daming, and it will be similar to the cotton cloth we can get a lot of profit when we sell it here. ”

Li Xiu's eyes were already a little confused, and he shook his head and said: "Brother Zhu, you are saying that it is bad, the felt is not cheap on the side of the tartar, but it is not a labor-intensive thing, the old man, I went to the grassland back then, oops, at that time, more than a dozen fellow villagers were about the same age, and now there is only one old man left, and the old man has to talk about the past when he drinks, don't talk about this, this felt"

Zhu Da was interested in everything the old man said, there was only one person left from the wandering business, and the production of felt, but this Li Xiu was not completely confused, and he spoke in detail about the production of felt, the camel hair and wool on the grassland were collected and sorted out, and then the layers of wool were spread and folded, and then the fine needle with a hook was constantly pierced, and then beaten with a wooden hammer, the camel hair and wool were folded and then pierced with a fine needle to pull it, so that the hair could be intertwined up and down in addition to horizontal and vertical interweaving, and the fluff was glued and connected with each other to become a whole. Hammering is equivalent to increasing the adhesion of the layers so that the felt can be made.

The grassland is sparsely populated, and the production of felt requires special manpower, which consumes time, which consumes time and cannot go to grazing and hunting, and virtually increases the price of this labor a lot, not to mention that the production of felt is equal to compacting the fluffy wool and camel hair, and the camel hair and wool used must be cleaned up, and the camel hair and wool consumed by a felt are also a large amount, not to mention that camel hair and wool shaving also consume labor, and the cost of labor and raw materials superimposed on each layer makes this felt how cheap it is.

"That group of people is willing to exchange with Brother Zhu, it's this felt that can be sold for a price but it's not very easy to sell, after all, the number of people who use it is limited, and the goods you sell to them can make a lot of money, if it weren't for the old man who only ran in the mouth, I want to fight for these goods of yours, little brother."

"Tartar can only buy our cloth, otherwise we can only use leather to make robes and jackets, and only our cotton silk can make it."

Zhu Da listened very carefully, but felt that there was something wrong with Li Xiu's words, only cotton thread and silk can spin cotton cloth and silk, but in that more than 20 years of life, he knew that there was the concept of "wool spinning", he studied food processing, this major is a light industry system, and the school where he is located is a big and complete old university, there is a textile college in the school, more or less can hear the relevant concepts, if it comes to life, sweaters and wool suits are very common.

Thinking of this, Zhu Da felt that he had vaguely grasped something, but outsiders seemed that the old man was chattering endlessly, the young man was tired of listening, and the young man who came with Li Xiu couldn't help but whisper a reminder, Zhu Da vaguely listened to "Uncle, you are endless", Zhu Da didn't care.

Of course, the life and memories of more than 20 years can't be said, but Li Xiu was confused and sober quickly, and after putting down the wine bowl and drinking the hot soup, he felt a lot better, and his eyes were also clear, and the two sides were speechless for a while, looking at the employees who were patrolling not far away.

"Old man, I rely on the old man to sell the old question, Brother Zhu, what ambitions do you have, you are only a teenager and you are so extraordinary, in a few years, you really have a great future, but I don't know what you want to do yourself, Brother Zhu?" When he said this, Li Xiu looked at Zhu Da very seriously.

Not only Li Xiu looked at Zhu Da, but Li He, who had just finished his inspection, and the young man who accompanied Li Xiu over, if they usually met in small talk, asking about ambition is nothing more than air-to-air, no one will be serious, especially when asking a sixteen or seventeen-year-old half-grown child, it is often not important to answer, but the exhortation and education of the elders are important, but such a half-grown son who can do business and kill people, his answer is very interesting.

Li Xiu and his sons and nephews saw that Zhu Da could make money and fight, while Li He knew better, he knew that it had been less than twenty days since the small team had been gathered, and it was about to collapse several times, and now that he had maintained it, he had a big harvest in terms of goods, and what he was going to do in the future was a matter of importance related to his family in the next ten, twenty, or even decades.

Regarding Li Xiu's question, Zhu Da originally wanted to make a joke and vaguely pass the past, but before the words came out, he groaned, he didn't notice the attitude of the people around him, but fell into his own thoughts.

The small circle they were in was quiet for a moment, and the rest of the place was noisy and laughing, and after a while, Zhu Da opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Li, you know my origin, and you must be able to deduce that my parents and elders and I and my brother died in this catastrophe, and only a few of my villagers survived, and my hometown was completely destroyed, not to mention the small situation of Hebian New Village and Dachuan, all of which are gone." ”

It's about ambition. didn't expect Zhu Da to say such a heavy topic, everyone was stunned for a while, and Li He was tight.

Zhu Da looked at the darkness, in fact, his gaze did not focus on a certain place, he said slowly: "What I want now is revenge, those who kill my family members, I will also kill their family members, and those who destroy my hometown, I will also destroy their hometown, no, this is far from enough, I will take revenge a hundred times and a thousand times back, so as to comfort my parents and elders, the souls of all my relatives in heaven." ”

The tone in which he said these words was very calm, but the people who listened felt a chill, while Li He and the others, who had the same position as Zhu Da, were flushed with red faces, gritting their teeth and clenching their fists.

"Maybe after doing all this, I will think about my ambitions, and then I will think about the future." Zhu Da slowed down a little and made the end.

The few people sitting on this piece of felt didn't know what to say for a while, and the old man Li Xiu, who was originally in high spirits, also put down the wine bowl, looked at Zhu Da by the light of the bonfire not far away, and looked very carefully, as if to confirm whether what he said was true or false, and only sighed at the end.

After sighing, he shook his head again, and then he spoke, his words were full of vicissitudes: "Little brother of the Zhu family, you and I met in Pingshui, I shouldn't have said too much, but the old man really has to rely on the old man to say a few words, you are so young, you have such skills, and you still have a lot of decades to live, why bother to bear such a blood feud, this parents' family revenge really has to be avenged, but those gods who have done evil things, you can't avenge this revenge, let it go!" How good it is to live well! ”

Pingshui meets, the exchange is shallow and deep, to be able to say this is indeed a kind enlightenment, there are more than 100 years of Ming, filial piety is very important, and even in the Ming law, children can be lightly punished for revenge of their parents' blood vendetta killing, if they know the whereabouts of the enemy, the children will not react will be laughed at and rejected by the world, and they can't raise their heads.

But the law of human feelings and laws cannot be compared with the general trend, the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles away, the Western Regions, the Mongolian tribes, the Jurchen tribes, and even the Japanese in the east, Siam and Burma in the south and Cochin, the blood feud caused by the invasion and killing of these enemy countries is a hundred times more cruel than the vendetta in the ordinary world, but how can such a grudge be revenged, Tianli and human feelings, no one will think that it is unfilial piety for you to give up such a grudge.

The Ming Dynasty was captured by so many people, burned so many times, and retaliated back several times, such a huge empire is still like this, not to mention the specific individuals in the border towns.

Zhu Da didn't answer immediately, he just lowered his head, and Li He, who was sitting next to him, became a little dazed, the old man Li Xiu's words made sense, can this big revenge be avenged? If you can't report it, thinking like this all day long, your life will be ruined like this, and your parents and brothers will definitely not want to see this, but they don't report it

Not mentioning the thoughts in Li He's heart, Zhu Da took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice: "Think about it carefully, I may not really want to take revenge for this." ”

The meaning of the words was a bit strange, but Li Xiu nodded with a little relief, it would be good to put it down, and Zhu Da continued: "But if I don't kill all these people, I feel uneasy, and now I think about it, I feel like a knife, if I don't do it, I will definitely go crazy in the future, so I must kill them all and avenge this big revenge!" ”

Li Xiu was stunned, but the young man sitting next to him widened his eyes, his expression was very excited, Li Xiu shook his head, but picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, he was a little confused when he took a sip, such a big sip of wine was a very sober state, the old man seemed to sink into the memory first, and then said abruptly: "How can you take revenge for this, you can't take revenge, when the old man was young, his heart was higher than the sky, and his brothers in the clan came out to wander, thinking that he could make a fortune on the grassland, but he met a horse thief, The old man and his two brothers escaped, and my eldest brother and third brother thought about revenge every day, and finally left the old man to take care of his father and mother, and they went to the border to join the army."

Speaking of this, Li Xiu's voice became hoarse: "In the second year of joining the army, they died in the border pass, they didn't even go out of the border wall, they were attacked and killed by the Tartars, the old man's younger brother also left a whole corpse, poor my brother was trampled by the Tartar cavalry, and he couldn't even find his clothes, at that time, the old man hated, every day was like being burned by fire, I just wanted to go to the grassland to kill a happy one, but in the end, I thought about my father, I thought about my widowed sister-in-law and nephew, I still have to endure it, what can I do if I can't bear it, but this day still has to live, people still have to live!" ”

Zhu Da did not answer this serious admonition, but shook his head firmly.

The old man Li Xiu didn't continue, just stood up with himself, shook his head and said: "The young man doesn't listen to persuasion, I babbled a few words, just to prevent you from suffering the losses that the old man suffered, but the old man was not like this back then, how could the old generation have ever heard of persuasion, only suffered losses"

At this time, everyone could confirm that the old man had indeed drunk too much, and the young man who followed the old man hurriedly stood up to help him, and specially said to Zhu Da: "My uncle will talk about the past when he drinks alcohol, Zhu Gongzi is not strange." ”

Zhu Da smiled and waved his hand, the young man nodded, and helped Li Xiu to leave, so it seems that the young man and Li Xiu look a little similar, the national character face is very square, I think Li Xiu was also dignified when he was young, but this young man looked at Zhu Da very seriously, but no one cared.

After a short noisy dinner, Li Xiu's caravan quickly entered the rest, and Zhu Da's caravan also had some rules and habits, and those on duty continued to be on guard, and those who did not have their turn to rest.

Zhu Da was not in a hurry to rest, he was lying on the cart, Zhou Qingyun looked around vigilantly, and stood next to him, Li He did not fall asleep, he wanted to come over and say a few words, but he did not come forward.

"Sleep, it's impossible to relax when you return to the county seat, and nourish yourself." Zhou Qingyun said in a sullen voice.

No one will feel that returning to the county is as relaxed as going home, and all the people in the county have even used the thieves, and they will not give up.
