The team of trading with the Mengshan bureaucrats was quickly organized, and the dealers each pushed their own wheelbarrows or put on their backs, and most of them were ready to set off with only their own weapons.

This time, you only need to bring enough money to go. Unlike the other mountain people around, Mengshan Bureaucracy, as the largest village in the surrounding area, has much better living conditions, there is no shortage of food for the stomach, and it also has its own way to buy some daily necessities, so the demand for silver is more.

All the gold and silver needed for this transaction are carried by Shi Lei, and there is not much in total, and a gold brick can basically be done. Of course, the mountain goods that can be exchanged for back are definitely not a point that can be pulled away lightly, just look at the posture of the dealers.

As for the gold placed here by Shi Lei, it's not that he doesn't worry about others and wants to seize the financial power, but the eyes of this guy who are stupid have never left this gold brick. If someone else holds this gold brick, they may be in trouble by this thief little guy at any time, and Shi Lei, the master, can stop it.

The digging of the pit has not yet begun, and there is nothing to do during this time, in order to prevent it from making trouble at home, Shi Lei took it and Xiao Jin, two restless little guys, to go on this trip together.

The iron wire snake that exudes a metallic luster has also been coiled around Shi Lei's neck, his eyes are closed, and it looks more and more like a special metal necklace.

Shi Lei is still habitual, and wants to keep some hole cards by his side, these inconspicuous little evil stars are naturally the most suitable killer features. In case of any accidents in the transaction with Meng Shanfang, he can deal with it.

Of course, generally speaking, with the strength of the villagers, it is not a big problem to slaughter the entire bureaucratic village, Shi Lei is a bit of a fuss.

Who makes Shi Lei always feel at ease with people he is not familiar with, after all, this is the first large-scale transaction between the two parties, and the reputation of the other party before is not very good.

After a long time of trekking, Shi Lei and his party finally came to a stockade standing between mountain passes.

On the wall, which was surrounded by a large number of stout logs, stood a number of sturdy men with dark skin and loose hair, wearing clothes on the left side, indicating their status as wingmen, holding bows and arrows and spears in their hands, and kept on guard.

This place is steep, not much worse than Shi Lei's valley, it is also a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also a terrain that is difficult to open.

The tall and heavy gate of the village was already wide open, and it seemed that they were welcoming Shi Lei and their arrival, because an elder who was already quite old at a glance was leading a few people to stand outside and wait.

Two elves, cute cardamom girls, were chattering and laughing around the elder, and from time to time there was a delicate laugh like silver bells. It's a pity that they used the local language of their clan, and Shi Lei couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

The elder smiled and said a word to the two little girls, and they quickly quieted down, and followed the others to meet the elder's pace.

With an absolutely sincere smile on his face, the elder hugged the housekeeper uncle suddenly, patted each other's backs warmly, and muttered a few words, and then the two uncles turned around together and faced the direction of Shi Lei.

Seeing that the housekeeper's uncle's hand was pointing at him, Shi Lei hurriedly came out of the guards.

Shi Lei had always been wearing clothes similar to those of the guards before, and he was mixed among them all the way, but unfortunately there were two small things, standing on his shoulders with a look of anticipation, and this low-key dress was completely blind.

"Like, really like." The elder of the village stared at Shi Lei's appearance carefully, looked up and down several times, and muttered.

"The demeanor of the head of the family is still better than in the past, the old man can't help but be happy, and I hope the head of the family will forgive me for the rudeness." The elder, who realized that he was a little abrupt, quickly cleaned up his mood and greeted Shi Lei warmly. As soon as the words came out, it was still standard Chang'an accented Chinese, and this elder was really not simple.

This way of speaking Zou Zou, Shi Lei is really a little uncomfortable, accustomed to a group of big and rough people in the family, shouting straight to the point, Shi Lei didn't know how to deal with this scene for a while.

"The younger generation is very fortunate to be cared for by the elderly, why is it rude, but the younger generation is bothered, and the elders are not to blame." Shi Lei responded to two sentences randomly, and he still can't lose in this temperament. While speaking, Shi Lei also tried his best to stand up his bear body.

The two little girls didn't give face at all, laughing coquettishly beside them, and pointing at Dumao and Xiaojin.

Lei pretended to be fierce and glared at him, this pair of rare twin beautiful girls, this will not be afraid at all, Shi Lei was greeted by two pairs of identical big white eyes, and two big grimaces.

Perhaps seeing Shi Lei's crampedness, the elder reached out at the right time and signaled Shi Lei to go first, and Shi Lei, as a junior, of course had to be humble.

In the end, the guest followed the host, followed the elder, and entered the place where it should be the council hall in the stockade, a relatively large dry bar.

"This elder is the owner of the village?" Shi Lei took this opportunity to quickly ask the housekeeper uncle next to him, it would be more embarrassing to mistake the identity of the other party.

"He's the biggest guy around." Uncle Butler nodded affirmatively.

"Then why is he so polite, it stands to reason that his impression of the Han people should not be very good." Shi Lei muttered a little in his heart.

"I've been dealing with him a lot for a long time, and he's been an old friend. And now many of their things are bought for them by me.

As you know, if the bureaucrats go to buy things, the prices given by the stores are dozens of times more expensive, and the things are still short of catties and taels, which is not much better than those mountain people who run away.

I didn't make as many times as many as them, so I naturally got warm. Uncle Butler smiled mysteriously and said.

Shi Lei nodded clearly, turned around intently, and chatted with this seemingly well-educated man. But he didn't notice the housekeeper's uncle's eyes full of meaning.

"There is nothing to entertain between the mountains and fields, a little tea that can refresh the mind, but it is also a little elegant, the head of the family, please." The elder picked up the stone cup in his hand and gestured to Shi Lei.

"Okay." Hearing the name of the tea, Shi Lei reacted suddenly.

Combined with the name of this place, then in this inconspicuous stone cup, it should be the famous Mengding tea. This is a rare thing, a tribute that you can't buy with money in the future.

What's more, Shi Lei thought of the beautiful money scene of this kind of thing. How did the name of the Ancient Tea Horse Road come about, and it is not because this kind of thing is too attractive to everyone.

Especially for those nomads who are used to eating meat, this thing is the root of life. Take cattle and sheep or something in exchange, or even take baby war horses in exchange, without distress.

Thinking of this, Shi Lei's hands were about to tremble with excitement.
