Chapter 148: Bezoar
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
However, Su Baiyi felt that it was impossible for him to open the mountain on a large scale at present, and at most he would use money to lure the nearby people to go up the mountain to find white quartz stones, and then secretly return to Defu by ship.
As long as there is no large-scale organization of people to open the mountain, it is estimated that the government will turn a blind eye.
Perhaps, the government will not necessarily know about this kind of thing at that time!
Su Baiyi gave up his horse, and his feet were unusually stiff when he stood on the ground!
This is your sister, it is estimated that it is difficult to go back to the toilet and squat in the toilet, no wonder when I watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms before, I saw Liu Bei sigh that the flesh had grown out, and I couldn't ride a horse.
What happened to him was just the opposite of Liu Bei!
The hip hurts to death!
"Sir, why don't I carry you!"
Fu Lin also walked on his legs when he walked, and he knew that his crotch was injured at a glance, but he still walked and twisted to Su Baiyi's side and wanted to carry him.
"Forget it, you're no better. Besides, I don't like to pick up soap for teachers! ”
Su Baiyi waved his hand, moved a little, and walked along the snow-covered mountain road, the road was rugged, there were tall trees on both sides, and the wilderness seemed even more empty after the snow fell, and the echo could be heard far away with a roar.
As far as the eye can see, except for the wind blowing and the dead grass swinging, there is the shadow of some wintering sparrows flying around in the forest in search of food.
Occasionally, you can see a few dilapidated houses, all of which are weighed down by heavy savings, and they are surrounded by depression at a glance.
It seems that even Fengyang Mansion, which is the central capital of the Ming Dynasty, not all places can be bathed in the light of heaven.
"Sir, there's someone over there!"
Coming with Su Baiyi, Deng Long, who was old and serious, pointed ahead and said with some excitement.
Su Baiyi looked in the direction of his finger, and in a mountain col in the distance, several families were faintly visible. Because the roof is covered by the university, the terrain in the mountains is undulating, and if it weren't for a few faint wisps of cooking smoke behind it, it would be impossible to see where these families were.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look!" Su Baiyi looked up at the sky, the sky was overcast again, if the expectation was correct, it was estimated that it would not be long before there would be another heavy snowfall.
There are still dozens of kilometers of road from Shimen Mountain to the north to Fengyang Mansion, and Dingyuan to the south, which is not close. At present, I can only find a farmer to rest for the time being.
Several people supported each other, and dragged a few pieces of quartz found from the mountain, and slid all the way to the col where almost everyone was, and crossed a frozen river, and arrived at the door.
There were suddenly a few dog barks in the empty and silent valley, and the adults and children of the owner's family opened the firewood door together and came out to watch, and after seeing five or six young men such as Su Baiyi, several families went out almost at the same time, and some old men even carried a hoe in their hands.
This is a robbery!
Su Baiyi didn't know that the farmers on the opposite side also regarded them as robbers.
"A few masters, looking at the eyes, it's not from our Shimen Mountain, right?"
The old farmer with the hoe was a little nervous, but fortunately, he usually went out more, and everyone knew him, and he was also a person who had seen the "big world", so in order to protect the women and children of his clan, he could only hold the hoe in front.
Su Baiyi noticed that there were mostly old and weak women and children here, and there were almost no young people.
They are all wearing tattered cotton clothes, and it should be said that they can still survive in the Ming Dynasty.
"Uncle, a few of us are from Fengyang Mansion!" Su Baiyi stepped forward with a smile and showed a friendly smile, hoping to reduce the psychological pressure of the group of people opposite.
But when he stepped forward, the person on the other side became even more anxious.
"Don't come here!" The old man was shocked: "You, come over again, I, I'll let the dog go!" ”
Su Baiyi was speechless!
This is too guarded.
"We're not bad people!" Su Baiyi beckoned, asked a few disciples to take off the anti-freeze face towels that wrapped their faces, revealing a few slightly immature faces, and said: "I am the gentleman who teaches in Fengyang Mansion, these are my disciples, the six of us master and apprentice got lost in the mountains and rivers, and somehow came here, wanting to spend the night with you!" ”
What Su Baiyi said was not Fengyang.
But Bengbu is not far from Shangqiu in terms of geographical location, and he clearly remembers that the people in the two places speak basically the same.
"Wait, I'll call the patriarch to come over."
The old farmer handed the hoe in his hand to the half-grown child next to him, and did not forget to order: "If they break in, you will let the dog go!" ”
"Know, uncle, I'll go up and bite him!"
The half-grown child bared his sharp teeth at Su Baiyi, making a group of people cry and laugh.
Not long after, an old man on crutches came out of a family in the back, he came to several people tremblingly, and his cloudy old eyes seemed to be unable to see the faces of several people, but after a glance, he nodded: "You come in with me." ”
"Patriarch!"
"Grandpa!"
The people in the village were a little afraid, afraid that the patriarch would let the bad guys into the village.
The patriarch said: "Let's all go back, what to do if it freezes in winter." ”
Su Baiyi led his five disciples and followed the old man around several stone courtyards to the last house. Go through the dilapidated fence gate and enter the main house.
The main house is also made of stones, and the wind is constantly drilling through the windows and doors, but the temperature inside the house is much higher than outside.
"Where are you from?"
As soon as the patriarch entered the house, he asked Su Baiyi again.
"We are from Fengyang Mansion!"
Su Baiyi said again.
"I am the patriarch of our village, my surname is Niu, my name is Niu Huang, you can call me Lao Niu." The old man introduced himself, and pointed to the old guy next to him who had just carried a hoe, "This is my nephew, called Niu Chuba." ”
Su Baiyi almost squirted out in one breath.
The eighth day of the first month, the name is really 666, is it born on the eighth day of the first month?
If it is fifteen, is it called fifteen?
Before he could stop thinking, he heard Niu Huang shouting outside: "Fifteen, come over with a dry tree lump and light a few roasting fires for you!" ”
Burst!
Really......
Su Baiyi held back a smile and arched his hand: "Under Su Baiyi, this is my disciple Fu Lin, this is Deng Long, Liu Cheng, Hu Shouren, Wang Kun!" ”
Afraid that a few people would continue to misunderstand themselves, they groped out a hundred and ten copper plates from their arms and handed them to Niu Huang, saying: "There is a lot of trouble, and a small meaning is not a respect!" ”
Sure enough, after the money was taken out, although the bezoar was not moved, the attitude of Niu Chuba immediately changed. Without the previous caution, he laughed, stretched out his hand to pick up the string of money, and said to Niu Huang: "It's still the patriarch, you have a great vision, and you know at a glance that these little brothers are not bad people." ”
Niu Huang was not polite, accepted the money by default, and said to Su Baiyi: "A few of you come and sit." ”
Beckoning Su Bairou, the six people sat down around a simple and dilapidated square table in the main house, and Fifteen, who had just bared his teeth towards Su Baiyi, brought a small wooden lump from the outside and placed it upside down in the door of the main house.
Su Baiyi didn't know what a wooden pimple was before, but now he understands it when he looks at it.
Isn't it just a big sun-dried tree root?
"Lit!"
Fifteen ran outside and picked up some flammable straw, blew it with a fire breaker, and began to light the fire.
The eighth junior next to him smiled and said, "I'll go to the house and bring two small dishes to greet the guests." ”
"Bring some more radishes!"
That's the rhythm of the meal!
Su Baiyi couldn't just let the master greet him, and said to Fu Lin: "You bring my baggage!" ”
Fu Lin took Su Baiyi's small burden into the room from the outside.
Su Baiyi didn't open it, reached out and groped inside for a while, and unexpectedly found a large piece of sauced beef wrapped in sandpaper and gently put it on the table.
In the cloudy and surprised gaze of the bezoar, he fumbled for a small jar of sake and put it on the table.
"Mr. Su is also a particular person!"
Niu Huang smiled.
Fu Lin looked at things, looked at Su Baiyi, and looked confused.
Liu Chengdao, a big man who looks like an iron tower: "The master still brought such a delicious thing, he knew that he would eat it on the road!" ”
The crowd laughed.
By the time Niu Chuba brought the things, there were already four dishes on the table.
A beef in sauce, a pickled cucumber, a small plate of peanuts, and a small pile of radishes the size of an orange.
It was the first time Su Baiyi had seen this thing, and he looked at it a little strangely.
Niu Chuba also sat down, smiled and first picked up the radish, broke it slightly with a knife, and then tore the skin of the outside of the radish left and right, revealing the slightly purple-red radish core inside, and took a hard bite.
I ate it with a click.
It looks quite interesting.
"Come!"
Niu Huang picked up a few guards and put them in front of everyone, "You can taste it too!" ”
Su Baiyi and the others followed the example of Niu Chuba, tore off the radish skin lightly, and took a bite of the radish inside.
There is a faint spicy taste in the mouth, but after two bites, it tastes a hint of sweetness.
Is this your sister's still a radish, it can't be a variant of a carrot, right?
Su Baiyi couldn't help but arouse his curiosity, and said to Niu Huang: "This radish is very refreshing, may I ask my husband what kind of radish is this?" ”
"Yes, yes, it's delicious!"
Liu Cheng nodded and swallowed the peeled radish into his mouth.
Niu Huang looked at Su Baiyi in slight surprise, and then said, "A few people are not from Fengyang Mansion, right?" ”
Su Baiyi secretly said that it was not good, why didn't he expect such a section.
At this time, I couldn't hide it, so I had to hehe twice, and said: "My husband is sharp-eyed, it's not that we are deliberately deceiving, but that I am in a foreign country, so I can't help but be vigilant." ”
"I know!"
Niu Huang took a stack of coarse porcelain bowls from the table, put them in front of everyone for a while, and opened a jar of wine that Su Baiyi took out, and the aroma of wine was overflowing.
"Good wine!" Niu Huang gave a thumbs up, "This is a radish radish, which is also an ordinary thing in our Fengyang Mansion, and a few people don't know each other, so naturally they are not locals." ”
"I'm waiting to come from Guide Mansion!" Su Baiyi had no choice but to tell the truth: "I have hidden a lot before, so don't blame it." ”
"It's fine!" Niu Chuba has now completely let down his vigilance, and said hehehe: "If I hadn't seen this brother tall and mighty, I wouldn't have mistaken Mr. Su for a thief!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed at Liu Cheng.
