Master Huang has been selling smuggling for more than ten years, what kind of treasures have never been seen, not to mention that he has never seen such a transparent crystal glass bottle, and the strange fragrance of the liquid inside has never been smelled. He was keenly aware of the smell of silver, and since the three pirates did not hesitate to show favor with a lot of money, he might as well meet them. However, in order to prevent the three pirates from rioting and hurting people, he specially found a few good skills from the guards to go together.

He couldn't help but be stunned as soon as he walked into the living room, these three people are definitely not pirates, there are everyone in Mingzhou City, not to mention the red-haired people, Kunlun slaves, even the Japanese He has seen a lot, and the outfits of the three people in front of him are definitely not pirates. Pirates have been adrift on the sea for many years, and their hair is basically their symbol, but the three people in front of them have no hair at all. The strongest man in the middle had very short hair, like a head with a skull, and the other two, though slightly longer, were less than an inch. The clothes were also strange, the stout one was wearing a green long-sleeved shirt, while the other two were wearing cardigans and blue coarse cloth trousers. There are pirates in such costumes, but they are never so elaborate.

The other three were not in any way malnourished, short and thin like the pirates who had been adrift on the seas for many years, and even the shortest of them were more than seven feet tall, and the other two were eight feet tall. Looking at the appearance of the three of them again, their skin is fair, their hands and feet are not thick, and they are obviously pampered people on weekdays. Although the three of them looked a little nervous, they didn't feel the slightest sense of humility and humility, and their gestures were full of confidence.

Huangshi has been in the business world for more than ten years, and it can be said that his eyes are like torches, but the origin of these three people is completely invisible. And at this time, the three of them all stared at themselves directly, their eyes were full of eagerness and surprise, and they couldn't help but feel very surprised, why did these three people look at a man like this?

The three of them stared at the middle-aged man who came in, and they felt strange to see the change of expression on his face. The landlord in front of him looked to be about forty years old, wearing a silk robe, about one meter six tall, with a mediocre appearance, a goatee on his lips and chin that was ten centimeters long, and a white and pure face that was slightly fat.

Master Huang looked around and arched his hand at Du Yande, who was sitting at the bottom, "I don't know what the three heroes are called?" In fact, he didn't know who was the leader among the three people, but at the moment, only Du Yande's clothes were long-sleeved, and the hem of the training uniform was lower than the short-sleeved shirts of the other two, and he was guarded by the other two companions in the middle, so he was the leader of the three.

Du Yande nodded, now he was relieved, although the landlord Lao Cai in front of him didn't understand what he said, but it was not very far from Mandarin, which made the three of them feel cordial. Du Yande hurriedly said in Mandarin: "The three of us are from overseas, and we don't know the direction at night, and we strayed into your house, please forgive me." ”

Although Huang Shi didn't understand what he heard, but now it was the time when the pirates were besieging the village, although he felt that the three of them were not hostile, but he couldn't rule out the threat, so he slowly asked, "I don't know where the three heroes came from?" ”

Although there are still some obstacles in language communication, after all, the words are still somewhat close, so several people exchanged names with each other, and Du Yande asked: "We were originally Chinese, and our ancestors fled overseas due to a catastrophe hundreds of years ago, and started a career on a continent thousands of miles to the south, which has a history of hundreds of years. ”

He didn't know if this plane was the real history of the earth, and he didn't dare to say too much, so he had to be vague about the exact year he needed.

Huang Shi hesitated for a moment, "So the three aren't pirates?" ”

"Pirates?" Yang Minghuan interjected with some dissatisfaction, "How can we be pirates?" ”

Huang Shi couldn't help but glance at Yang Minghuan from the corner of his eye, and secretly said in his heart that this overseas person is really unruly, and as a subordinate, he even interjected at will.

Du Yande didn't know what he was thinking, but he arched his hand and explained, "We are not pirates. I don't know why Master Huang thinks we are pirates? ”

Old Man Huang smiled and didn't answer, just continued to ask about their ancestors.

Du Yande saw that Huangshi had no objection to what he said before, so he continued to break blindly, saying that the ancestors crossed the sea, overcame thorns and thorns on a continent, and established a wild land into a happy land. "Our ship lost its way and had to dock at the seaside, and it lost its way while walking, and strayed into Master Huang's backyard, which alarmed Master Huang, and I hope to forgive ......"

Huang Shi smiled, but his heart turned a few corners, his stockade is more than ten miles away from the sea, although he built a small road to the seashore to facilitate the smuggling of goods with the Maidno people, even if these three people came from this road, how can they climb over the courtyard wall to his backyard? Taking a step back, even if they like to take the path and climb over the wall into other people's backyards, the stockade at this time is completely surrounded by pirates, how did they walk through the pirates outside?

Thinking of this, the smile on his face suddenly turned cold, and he slapped it heavily on the pineapple coffee table and said, "Catch me!" ”

The three of them were stunned, and the family members next to them were also stunned, isn't this a good point? How do you say that if you turn your face, you will turn your face?

But since the old man has spoken, what to do has to be done, a black man in front of Du Yande immediately took out an iron ruler from under his sleeve, waved it and rushed towards Du Yande. The iron ruler is a short weapon used by the ancients for fighting, about the length of a person's upper arm, which can be conveniently placed in the sleeve to hide. However, Du Yande had already seen that these people around him were quietly carrying weapons, and he took precautions at the beginning, so he quickly stood up and stepped forward, and stepped directly on the inside of the ankle of the right ankle of this black man who was only one and a half meters tall.

"Oops," the black man couldn't help but exclaim, the inside of the ankle is a major weakness of the person, as long as it is attacked by gravity, it will cause the human body to fall outward. Without exception, the black man fell to the ground with a pop, and before he could hold his ankle and shout, it became a stumbling block for the few followers who followed.

knocked over the people who rushed to the front, and the leader of the nursing home beside Master Huang also jumped over with an iron ruler and protected him in front of Master Huang. He waved his hand to both sides, and the two family members behind him also drew their iron rulers and rushed forward.

From the very beginning, Du Yande was afraid of being invited here and then arrested, so he paid special attention to the number of people in the room and the location he was in. At this time, the people who came in from the main gate were blocked, and it would take a few seconds before they could rush up, but the two family members beside Master Huang on the left had already rushed forward.

However, although these family members looked fierce, they fought in a disorderly manner, and just waved around with iron rulers and short sticks. Du Yande had learned to grapple and sanda in the army, and at this time, he couldn't suffer a loss for a while against these few people with short weapons. But Yang Minghuan and Sun Wenbin were not so lucky, these two young people who had just graduated from college had never fought, and when they saw the black dwarfs on the other side rushing over viciously, they were directly frightened, and they only knew to squat on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, Du Yande muttered in his heart, and his eyes caught a glimpse of the leader of the courtyard who was holding an iron ruler in front of Huangshi. Although this man is not tall, his body is quite strong, and his temples are slightly bulging outward, and he looks like he should have a lot of strength. He has always been very skeptical of the martial arts attainments of the ancients, and now that he has the opportunity to try it, he rushed towards the head of the courtyard.

The leader of the nursing home was shocked, although this pirate looked fair-skinned, but it was really surprising to start his hand just now, just one foot overturned the nearest family, and the next few tricks did not suffer a loss, seeing this pirate rushing towards him, at this time he could only meet it head-on.

The head of the nursing home has actually not learned much kung fu, and being able to become the leader is nothing more than giving up his strength when fighting on weekdays. At this time, he only knew how to wave the iron ruler in front of Du Yande.

Du Yande laughed in his heart, dodged the blow sideways, took off a slinger from his belt, and threw the stick into place with a snap. At this time, the leader of the courtyard stabbed him straight with an iron ruler, Du Yande was not panicked, as a person who often conducts grappling or sanda training in the armed police, he knows that the most taboo thing in all battles is panic, so at this time he has been staring at the opponent to make moves.

He dodged the stab on one side again, went around behind the leader of the family, and before he could react, he stepped in the crook of his right knee, and immediately trampled him to his knees. The leader of the nursing home was shocked, and as soon as the iron ruler was lost, he rolled forward with his head in his arms.

Du Yande smiled slightly, didn't say much, and hurriedly walked behind Master Huang, shook the stick against the back of his heart, and wrapped his right hand around Huang Shi's right arm.

At this time, the family members with bows and arrows and firearms outside finally rushed in, but when they saw the situation in front of them, they stood on the spot, and in front of them, Master Huang was held hostage by a pirate, and the other two pirates also fled behind Master Huang. Although they had bows and arrows in their hands, they did not dare to fire them, and they all stood there at this time, not knowing what to do

How is it good.

"A few heroes, please stop," Huang Shi knew that he was being held hostage, although he didn't know what was holding his heart back, but he must be able to kill himself, so he hurriedly stretched out his left hand to stop his subordinates, and said loudly to Du Yande behind him. "If you have something to discuss, why bother doing it?"

"Hehe," Du Yande smiled, "It was Master Huang who gave the order first, right?" ”

Huang Shi was speechless for a while, he first thought that these three were spies sent by pirates to infiltrate, so he ordered to be arrested first, who knew that this pirate leader was so skilled at the moment that he could catch himself among a group of family guards. Now that he is in the hands of the pirates, he can only let the pirates make conditions, he sighed and said slowly: "Since Huang is not as good as others and has fallen into the hands of you, then I still obey the orders of your heroes, but please take the money and don't hurt the lives of my Huang family." ”

Du Yande was confused at this time, "Why should I seek money and kill people?" Didn't I say that a long time ago? We're not pirates! ”

Huang Shi was slightly stunned, it seemed that he had misunderstood, although the young man in front of him moved quickly and ruthlessly, but he did not hurt the lives of the family guards, although the beaten family members were indignant one by one, but there was really no serious injury, could it be that the three of them were really not pirates?

The misunderstanding was finally over, and the guests and hosts were seated again.

This time, Master Huang let the left and right retreat, leaving only the two maids and the head of the nursing home who had just rolled around on the ground, anyway, no one did anything at such a good opportunity just now, and so many people under his command couldn't stop them, so it didn't make much difference whether there were people left in it or not.

Huang Shi saw that the left and right retreated, stood up and clasped his fists with both hands and saluted the three of them: "Although what Huang did was unreasonable, it was also a helpless move, please forgive the three of you." ”

Du Yande smiled, although the fight just now was tense, it was not dangerous. Even Sun Wenbin and Yang Minghuan were not scared now, but looked around curiously. He also clasped his fists and nodded slightly at Master Huang and said, "Although the three of us came abruptly, there was no malice, but I don't know why Master Huang is so nervous?" ”

"The three of you don't know, if it's usual, those who come to my Huang house are guests, even if it's a passerby who comes to ask for a bowl of water, I Huangshi won't be embarrassed. But at this time, there are still thousands of pirates surrounding the village outside my Huangjia Village, and they have already released a message that they want my Huang family to hand over 10,000 taels of silver before they can withdraw from the siege. Huang Shi smiled bitterly, "My Huang family has traded a lot with the Maidno people in recent years, although there are some incomes, but they are far from reaching the point of ten thousand taels, so these pirates' requirements, I, Huang Shi, can't meet them." ”

At this time, the pirates have been besieging the village for many days, and Huang Mou thinks that he should be out of food and rice, and if he wants to attack the village, it should be these two days. As a result, I happened to meet three friends, this is not a misunderstanding, and I ask for your forgiveness. Huang Shi said and gave another salute, he knew very well in his heart that these three people did not pose a threat to themselves when they had already taken the initiative just now, so they were naturally friends rather than enemies. It was still unknown how the three men had managed to get into their backyard through the pirates' encirclement, but that wasn't the point. The point is that the things brought by these three people should be some strange goods.

Although Huangjiazhai is still surrounded at this time, but Master Huang's sensitivity to business opportunities is a kind of inertia, as long as Huangjiazhai is not broken by pirates, he Huangshi is still a maritime merchant in Mingzhou City, as long as he is still a maritime merchant, naturally he will not let strange goods slip away under his nose. The three people in front of them had countless awkwardness in their clothing, hairstyle, and speech, but it didn't matter. The important thing is that the bottle in the cardboard box they threw and the fragrant water inside brought him a refreshing freshness, and he keenly felt that this was a very big business opportunity.

"Since the three of them are maritime merchants, do they have samples for sale?" Huang Shi thought about it for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask.

The three people who heard this couldn't help but glance at each other, this is simply an expedition, where will they bring any goods? But looking at Huang Shi's eyes full of expectation, no one could bear to dash his hope.

Du Yande thought about it for a while, and said to Huang Shi: "Master Huang, I brought some samples of goods when I got off the boat, but I didn't bring them all with me for a while, only a few pieces. If you don't dislike it, I'll take it out. ”

Yang Minghuan couldn't help grinning, and quietly leaned into Du Yande's ear and said, "What kind of goods did we bring?" Why don't I know? ”

Du Yande smiled, waved at him to reassure him, and then pulled the backpack.

Huang Shi suddenly became interested in this backpack, and usually carried things, no matter what it was, whether it was a bag or a box. If something like a blanket is fine if it is pierced, if it is not tightly tied, it will often spill the contents inside, and it will not be able to hold anything heavy. The burden is similar, and you have to be very careful when packing the baggage, if you don't do it well, it will slide off your back. Although the boxes can hold some heavy things, they are also extremely bulky, and sometimes they will fall off when they are dragged in and out of a large cart. But the backpack of the person in front of me is completely different, this green backpack has two straps on it, and there are two straps on the straps, one large and one small, which looks as if they can be wrapped around the waist and chest. Looking at the posture of this strong man in his hand, the things inside don't look light, but judging by the fact that he didn't take any special care to put down this backpack, it seems that this backpack should not be easy to open.

But Du Yande's next move completely refreshed Huangshi's thoughts. He reached out and grabbed a rope on his backpack, and there was a strange little metal object attached to the other end of the rope, and he pulled it sideways along the backpack, and there was a considerable opening in the top of the backpack, and he then reached in to get it.

"What is this?" Huang Shi didn't have time to see what Du Yande took out, and his attention was all attracted by the zipper.

"Zipper." Du Yande didn't raise his head, he reached out and took it in his backpack.

"What does this zipper do?" Huang Shi broke the casserole at this time and asked to the end, if he didn't know what this was for, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

"Oh," Du Yande looked up and saw the knowledge-thirsty Master Huang, smiled slightly, and pulled the zipper several times, "It is used to open and close the backpack." This thing can also be used for clothing, as well as shoes. As he spoke, he showed off the plastic zippers on his training uniform and on the inside of his boots.

Huang Shi only knew the effect of this thing at this time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Isn't this just a button? It's just that it looks more delicate, and I don't know what material it's made of. It's just a little bit of a trick, but the benefits of this little object in terms of ease of use are quite obvious.

There were already a few items on the table in bits and pieces, and when Master Huang looked at it, almost all of them were packaged in cartons, which made his heart jump for no reason. This paper-wrapped thing doesn't look like it's for a living person.

Du Yande opened the first one, this is another bottle of perfume, the carton outside is exactly the same as the previous bottle, but the water inside the bottle is blue, and it looks crystal clear under the light of the oil lamp.

This was followed by a second box, which contained a clear glass mug. Master Huang took the cup and looked at it carefully for a while, this thing was not the same as those perfume bottles just now, it was obviously more opaque and quite thick. Huang Shi said with a smile: "This thing was also sold by Meideno in the early years, although it looks very good-looking, but it is easy to break, but I am afraid that it will not be able to sell for a price." ”

Du Yande smiled and said to Master Huang, "We can try." As he spoke, he took the glass and slammed the bottom of the cup on the green brick floor three times.

Huang Shi's heart jumped in shock, although the glass can't be sold at a high price, it can't be smashed just like that, and it also needs a few taels. These guys are too extravagant.

When Du Yande handed the glass back, Huang Shi's eyes widened in surprise, the glass was intact.

"This is our country's latest invention, tempered glass." "This kind of glass can cope with a normal drop without breaking, and it will not break due to the sudden pouring of boiling water." ”

Huang Shi was stunned, this is the truth, it seems that this strong man has a deep understanding of glasses, the glasses sold by the Maidno people a few years ago were originally relatively popular, but they are easy to break, and they will break after pouring boiling water in winter. He thought of this, and hurriedly ordered the maid behind him: "Go and boil a pot of boiling water." ”

Du Yande smiled, knowing that he was going to test whether the glass would break. "It's still too early for the water to boil, let's take a look at this."

As he spoke, he opened a small cardboard box, and there was a mirror powder box lying inside, and he read that a certain time travel encyclopedia said that the glass was not a time travel artifact, but an inconspicuous mirror powder box to the appetite of the ancients.

Huang Shi took the non-porcelain and non-jade mirror powder box, and couldn't help but look at it carefully for a while, but finally felt that he couldn't figure out the ingredients. Then he broke his hands and parted them, and an unfamiliar face suddenly appeared inside. He immediately understood that this was him.

This made him twitch in his heart, it was not that he had not seen his own face, but whether it was the polished bronze mirror or the reflection by the river, it was all vague. Now that he suddenly saw it so clearly, it made him feel creepy for a while.

But in a blink of an eye, he suddenly remembered that there was once a mirror in the Yaning goods trafficked by the Maidno people, and that mirror was much bigger than this, the size of a face. At that time, after going ashore, he was bought by the Zhou family in Chengxi, who had always been at odds with him, and I heard that it cost a lot of money. Since Mr. Zhou bought that mirror, he has often found various opportunities to sneer at himself. A few months ago, I heard that his wife and concubine accidentally broke the mirror when they were fighting for favor, and Master Zhou also specially invited a few framers from Mingzhou City to install these broken mirrors on the dresser, and heard the maid in his family say that the eldest wife had a piece smaller than a slap, and the concubine was left with a mirror as big as a finger and a crescent.

Although the mirror in front of me is much smaller than the mirror that Master Zhou bought, it must be much clearer, the shell of this powder box is not porcelain or jade, it is smooth and abnormal in your hand, not lukewarm or cold, and it feels very comfortable. He was about to get closer, there was a soft crisp sound from the oil lamp beside him, and an oil flower burst on the wick, if it was usual, Huang Shi would not mind at all, but at this time, although the three people in front of him claimed to be maritime merchants, not only came out of their backyard late at night, but also had to pass through the encirclement of thousands of pirates outside, all the samples were wrapped in cardboard boxes, and there was such a clear and indescribable mirror in front of him, which made him feel as if he was talking about business with a group of ghostly mandrills. You must know what exquisite objects turn into dirt after dawn, and the story is also spread in Mingzhou City.

Although this crisp sound was very small, it made his heart tremble, and when he accidentally slipped his hand, he dropped the mirror in his heart, which was worth at least fifteen taels of silver.

With a "pop", the powder box fell to the ground, and Huang Shi's heart trembled, this crystal mirror was afraid that it would not end well. But when I picked it up, it was intact, but there was some dust on the shell, and when I wiped it, even the ash was gone.
