After all, Mengsweat medicine is a prescription, not only is it difficult to dissolve, but when mixed with wine, it is like sprinkling a handful of lime powder, and the taste is strange, who will drink it?

There are only two ways to use sweat medicine in black shops, one is to mask the taste with shoddy old tea, and the other is to mix it in dishes, especially some dishes with thickening, such as braised sweet and sour fish.

These two tricks are feasible to deal with ordinary travelers, but it is too nonsense to deal with the caravan, if the caravan gives you sweat medicine, his means may be more clever than you, after all, he has seen all the tricks in the north and south.

Liu Tongpao and Hu Dalin are not stupid enough to be drugged in front of the old Jintou and these old horse gangs.

Yang Tiesheng and the others, just in case, stayed in Song Biao's room on the pretext of taking care of the wounded, and did not go downstairs to eat, but just ate some dry food in the room.

Seeing that Song Biao was back, Lao Guo Tou suddenly asked Yang Tiesheng to help him sit up, and hugged Song Biao again: "Thank you for taking care of the big boss, I feel a lot better in the past two days, I should have survived this hurdle, but unfortunately my family's winter life is hard." ”

Song Biao didn't expect Lao Guo Tou to get up at this time, so he sat down next to him with a chair and said: "I heard Tiezi say that you have two sons at home, one is doing business and the other is farming. It's always good to take care of your body and bones and live a few more years. ”

Lao Guo Tou hugged his fists again and said: "Thank you to the big boss, I know in my heart, in fact, this should be sad and sad, people are also buried in the second wolf cave, even if it is a good place to die, I should be satisfied." Actually, I didn't want to talk more, but Erhu and Yang Tiesheng persuaded me, so I wanted to say a few more words to you, and I hope that the big boss will pay attention! ”

Song Biao nodded and said, "You say." ”

Lao Guo Tou said: "There are two things, first, Zhao Tingzhu and Lao Jintou have always been at odds, they really have a lot of conflicts along the way, since they are all on fire, the big boss should be careful, don't let them break the harmony; Second, Liu Tongpao has never been a good thing, Tiezi told me about the night, I have heard people say that Liu Tongpao has always had an affair with himself, and he has bought a lot of guns and artillery, so be careful. ”

Song Biao continued to nod and said, "I understand Liu Tongcang's intentions, but it is not yet time to turn his face, in the past two days, I want everyone to prepare more and arrange all the supplies." Anyway, we have already rescued Huzi and them, if we can get out, we will find another place to rest, if not, I have another way to deal with these people. ”

Lao Guo Tou said: "Big boss, you are a capable person!" After all, I'm so old, there are old and young people in the family, and I am also a person with a bit of family background, so I can't do this business, but you have a life-saving grace for me, and even I and Er Dongzi's settling-in allowance have been paid, if you don't dislike my weak body, I can get through this hurdle, I want to work with you for a few years, and it can be regarded as repaying your life-saving grace. ”

Song Biao thought seriously for a moment and replied: "Old man, don't talk about anything that you don't repay, it's just a gesture, don't think about it." Having said that, you are an old man on the road, and it would be a great thing if you were willing to help me. I won't tell you that I don't really plan to be a bearded mountain master for the rest of my life, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely take all my brothers to do great things together. ”

Lao Guo Tou praised: "Big boss, you are indeed a capable person, my old Guo Tou is convinced, and it is also a blessing for the two tigers to have the opportunity to follow you." ”

After saying this, Lao Guo Tou sighed with Yang Tiesheng again: "Tiesheng, cherish this opportunity, you have the opportunity to follow the big masters, learn more from the big masters, and one day you will get ahead." ”

Yang Tiesheng smiled a little detached, he and Lao Guo Tou are not very familiar with each other, but the old man is very old in the horse gang industry, and it is normal to say a few words in the tone of an old-timer.

Lao Guo Tou continued to say to Song Biao: "Tie Sheng is a real child, born as a hunter since he was a child, when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he went to the medicinal herb shop with his cousin Sangui to be an apprentice, and later followed the old Jintou horse gang, and originally ran with me through the way of Huswaist Ridge, I still know a lot, real, diligent, and smart." The two tigers are different, Huzi followed his parents to Kanto since he was a child, and he lost it halfway, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old baby followed me to the horse gang, as an apprentice, and suffered a lot. He has not admitted defeat since he was a child, and he refuses to suffer, please take care of the big boss, if he can always follow you, he will definitely be able to make a difference in the future......"

Song Biao nodded yes and said: "Tiezi is a shrewd person and a kind person, I know in my heart that as for Erhuzi, when I pulled the team, he was the first to stand up and follow me, as long as I live for a day, I will take him for a day, you can rest assured!" ”

Lao Guo Tou smiled happily and continued: "The boys here are either the apprentices I have received over the years, or they are in the same ditch as me, Da Han, Da Yun, and Ergou are all very good boys, Han is a little naïve, but he has stupid strength, more than 300 pounds of horses, he can pull up alone, this is not simple." Universiade and Ergou are lively things, restless, but the eyes are good, as long as the big boss is good to them, they will follow you with their hearts, you can rest assured. ”

Lao Guo Tou had a lot of things to explain to Song Biao, but after all, he was stepping on a landmine, and he finally survived, and after saying a few words, he felt weak and weak, so Song Biao asked him to rest more, and he also drank a bowl of sobering tea, and sat on the kang to think about these problems.

After all, in this world, Jiren has his own nature.

Song Biao has always felt that the old Guo Tou is not good-looking, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but now he knows that this old man's heart is quite good, although the apprentices and guys have become bandits, but I still hope that the boys can mix up their personal appearance, and try their best to say a few good words.

Song Biao has been carefully observing these days, Zhao Tingzhu's ability is not small, his popularity is good, and his ambition is not small, Yang Tiesheng has some very special skills, he is diligent and steady, Zhang Yahu is really a bit hard-tempered.

There is never a shortage of reckless heroes in the world, and there are many heroes in the recklessness, but many people need that opportunity, these people are relatively good, and it is not easy to pull them out in the caravan. Having said that, in addition to ability and opportunity, the advantage of the surname is also very important, so some people say that the surname determines the fate.

The reason why the founding generals can stand out is that the advantages of the surname are very important, and opportunities and abilities are secondary.

After settling down in the inn, Song Biao immediately asked Lao Jintou to go out to buy oil, rice, salt and bean feed, but he didn't expect that there were too many displaced people during this time, Liu Tongpao had bought all the surplus grain in Nandianzi to recruit displaced people, and planned to continue to reclaim wasteland near Nandianzi and increase the number of miners and people in the village.

This discovery made Song Biao a little uneasy, it can be seen that Liu Tongpao is by no means ordinary reckless, this person can be regarded as a far-reaching mountain master, but Song Biao is not too worried, such a person did not make a difference in the troubled times in the end, then Liu Tongpao must have a fatal weakness, which is not terrible.

To talk about the current family background, Liu Tongcang's strength is much more powerful than Zhang Zuolin's, there are more than 300 people, which is equivalent to the territory of a township, and there are even copper mines, 1,000 acres of land and more than a dozen copper cannons in his hands.

In any case, it is already very difficult to buy rice and grain in the current Hunjiang River, and Song Biao can only ask Lao Jintou to go to Hunjiang County to buy some rice and bean feed, but he can only ensure the supply of the horse gang for five or six days.

This made Song Biao very soberly aware of a reality, in this kind of desolate year, having guns and money is far less important than having food, and only with food can you feed the people and horses in your hands.
