"Brother Muren, it's early." Tang Hezhi stood at the mouth of the valley and greeted happily.

"Brother Tang, morning." Muren jumped off the horse and saw Tang Hezhi waiting for him at Taniguchi as promised, and the worried heart along the way finally let go, and at the same time felt ashamed of the little caution in his heart.

Hurriedly called seven or eight partners to his side, and introduced Tang Hezhi one by one, "I'm sorry, Brother Tang, I can only find such people for a while." ”

"It's okay, take your time, I'll be here for a while anyway." Tang Hezhi knew that before they actually took the grain they exchanged for wool in their hands, the trust of these people in them was limited.

He didn't care about this, how could he be completely relieved about Muren, if it weren't for Mo Rigen sending someone to report that everything was normal and there was nothing suspicious, he wouldn't have come out to greet him so loudly, and the others and the grain cart were still well hidden.

As long as today is over and the grain is distributed in the afternoon, Tang Hezhi believes that the situation will definitely be opened.

"Brother Tang, let's go into the valley to start work, there is no wind in the valley, and the wool will not be blown away." Muren said.

"Okay, you're busy, I'll go get ready, and everyone will have a meal together at noon." Tang Hezhi arched his hand and turned around to leave.

"I can't help it, Brother Tang, we have brought food ourselves, how can we bother you to break the bank." As the saying goes, eating people with short mouths and taking people with soft hands, Muren is really not used to such warm hospitality as Tang Hezhi, and there is always a feeling of unsteadyness.

"Alas, Brother Muren is out of sight, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, how can you work if you are not full?" Tang Hezhi asked with a smile, this Muren is a little roundabout, and it can be seen that he is also very cautious in passing on words, but these people he brought may not be enough, just treat them with a delicious meal, presumably if you exchange wool for food, it can be spread faster.

"It's not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, it's the same as yesterday, it's still a pancake and paste, don't shirk Brother Muren." Tang Hezhi was relieved, "When you get the food tonight, I won't care about your food in the future, I really can't bear it after a long time." ”

"That's... Well, thank you Brother Tang. After Mu Ren thanked him, he said loudly to his partners, "Hurry up, Brother Tang is going to entertain us at noon, and we can't let him down." ”

When the young men heard that there was something to eat, the wool fell into their eyes, and they all became delicacies, and their eyes were red, and the whip shook the sky with a loud sound, and they were eager to immediately remove the wool from the sheep's body.

......

Muren held a bag of grain in his hand, trembling slightly with excitement.

Today, he not only had to coordinate with his partners to arrange the area where their flocks were located, but also had to discuss with Tang Hezhi the matter of weighing the wool in exchange for food, which delayed a lot of time, so the wool was not sheared much, and he also sheared ten sheep on this day, more than 60 catties of wool, in exchange for more than 6 catties of grain, a bag smaller than yesterday, and held it heavily in his hand.

Muren's other partners all had a greater harvest than him, and everyone exchanged more than ten catties of grain, all of them carrying grain bags with happy smiles, and their mouths were grinning to the root of their ears.

After thinking about it, Mu Ren still handed the grain bag back to Tang Hezhi.

"Brother Muren, what do you mean by this?"

"Brother Tang, didn't I take the grain in advance yesterday, let's deduct the ten catties first." Muren now fully believes in Tang Hezhi, he has read the book, he doesn't want to take advantage of this, there is still food at home, Hasen only drank half a bowl of mush last night, and he can already sit up.

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Ren gritted his teeth and said to Tang Hezhi again, "Brother Tang, the grain I changed in the past few days, why don't you put it here first, and I'll transport it back together when there are more." ”

In fact, Muren hasn't thought about it yet, how to tell his mother about this, just don't take the grain back first, and talk about it when you think about it.

"Okay." Tang Hezhi happily agreed, "Don't worry, your food won't be short." ”

"Also, Brother Tang," Mu Ren hit the snake with the stick, and hurriedly pointed to his eldest brother Chaolitai's jujube red horse and said, "This horse..."

"We don't take the horses, Brother Muren." Tang Hezhi shook his head, "Although it's nothing to accept a horse from you, if other people know about it, they will all come to me, so what should I do?" ”

"No, no, you misunderstood, Brother Tang," Mu Ren hurriedly explained, "I wanted to ask you for a favor, you just said that you didn't fancy this horse, don't do it, I will go back in the evening to deal with my Eji." ”

"No, what I said to you is that I don't accept horses, and now I say that I don't like your horses, this..."

"That's... Then you just say that you only want to pick two good horses, don't want the rest, help, Brother Tang. Muren pleaded.

"Alright, Brother Muren, but why are you doing this?"

Muren said embarrassedly, "I told Eji that I sold the horse for the bag of grain yesterday. ”

This kid is so cautious, he refuses to reveal a little bit to his family before he really exchanges his wool for food, Tang Hezhi thought secretly, but it's okay, what this kind of person said can make people believe more, although there are not many people he brought today, but they all trust him very much, and deliberately asked, "Then the horse is not sold, how can you explain the grain to your Eji when you go back?" ”

"I'll think about it, so I'll say I'll help you with the work, anyway, shearing the sheep can be regarded as helping you work, right?" When Muren said this, he was a little embarrassed, people treat themselves with sincerity, this deal can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow, but he is a little not very authentic, hidden and tucked, go back tonight, I must tell more people.

"Alright then, you kid, spend a few more days, and you'll know who I am." Tang Hezhi said with a smile.

"Hehe..." Muren knew that his little caution had been seen through, so he could only laugh.

Night.

"Uncle, have you sheared the sheep in your house?"

"I didn't shear it, that's great, let's join us tomorrow, how about helping each other and shearing the wool?"

"Okay, then let's talk about it, and we'll go together when we come out of the housekeeper tomorrow."

"Hey, uncle, there's something good."

"Keep it a secret, and you'll know when you get there."

This is Muren, after dinner, he wanders around, and when he sees people, he invites people to shear sheep together tomorrow, although the words are vague, but shearing sheep together, it is also a good thing, Muren is also a good person on weekdays, and the people he met agreed.

His companions were much more direct, shaking the grain they had received that day in front of people's eyes, and then telling these people that they could earn food by driving the sheep together tomorrow.

When the herdsmen saw that the grain was in front of them, they would still be suspicious, and they agreed with them to go sheep shearing together.

By the time Muren and the others were ready to go to bed, there would be more than thirty families to follow them tomorrow.
