Chapter 5: Deer Hunting (6A)
Chapter 5: Deer Hunting (6a)
When she got up in the morning, Ah Yun saw deep bloodshot in Li Xu's eyes. That confused and confused gaze should never appear in the eyes of a young man who is less than fifteen years old, on the grassland, even a person ten years older than Li Xu would not have a deep gaze like him, and it was heart-wrenching. This made Ah Yun feel a little guilty, but the feeling of guilt was quickly replaced by a hint of pleasure in revenge. "It was he who destroyed the fighting spirit of the Suo Tou Xi people!" The slave girl thought happily, and her white teeth touched the wound of the previous night again, and there was a trace of gentle pain.
"You prepare some cheese, and I'll ask someone to help you make the felt buns in the afternoon!" Li Xu's voice was not as weak as Ah Yun imagined. After a sleepless night, he seemed to be a few years older, and even spoke in a tone with a bit of adult calm.
In the morning light, the boy's shoulders appeared very broad, and his spine was very straight. Putting aside the grievances between each other for the time being, this is a rare good body among the prairie boys, solid and heavy, and you can forget all the wind and rain when you lean on it.
"Yes, master!" Ah Yun agreed in a panic, as if all her bad thoughts had been seen through, and fine beads of sweat poured out from the corners of her forehead and the tip of her nose at the same time.
"You can change what you need, the cattle and sheep in my name are all recorded on the sheepskin in the box, and they are in Chinese characters!" Li Xu smiled and said a word of advice, turned around and left.
"How does the master know that I know Chinese characters?" Ah Yun didn't dare to look at Li Xu's eyes, and only then did she raise her head and think silently until the other party's footsteps faded away.
"Does he know that I looked through his box yesterday? So why didn't he get angry? Why should he trust me, is he not afraid that I will take up his treasure and flee? In the sun, the brows of the slave girl carrying the copper kettle gradually gathered into a ball, and half a pot of water wet her feet.
Li Xu didn't have the energy to care about the sound of running water behind him, since last night, how to rescue Uncle Nine from danger has become the first priority in his heart. Su Sibu is far away from the Central Plains, and a few horses must be prepared. Along the way, wild beasts were infested and bandits were rampant, and it was obviously not a safe plan to let Wang Mazi and Xu Fu, the eldest brother of the Xu family, return south. If you gather more people to go with Wang Mazi, you have to let more traders empty the goods in their hands in advance.......
"Lao Sun is in trouble, we can't help but help. If Lord Li offers a suitable price, I am willing to give you all the goods, and then accompany Mazi to this journey! After listening to Li Xu's introduction, a vendor who had come to the Su Si Department with Sun Jiu last time stood up and said loudly.
"Yes, Brother Jiu is a good person, we can't afford to make money, and we should always make a baton!" A few vendors who had never met Li Xu responded violently.
"The price, the price should be negotiable. We don't ask for anything else, we just ask for Li, Master Li will have more in the future, and take care of one or two more. A southern trader selling tea stammered. Too many vendors with the same goods in one place obviously does not bode well. Instead of staying here and waiting for the goods to come down in price, it is better to sell it all at once. It can not only keep the capital, but also exchange a favor at the same time. At the moment, this young man is a friend worth making, he can do his best to rescue Sun Jiu, and in the future, he will go back and forth by himself, and he will not be afraid that he will not help when he encounters trouble!
Fortunately, Sun Jiu has been walking outside the plug for many years and has accumulated enough popularity. Fortunately, Li Xu now has enough wealth in his hands, and his status in the Su Si Department is high enough. With the assistance of Zhang San, after more than two hours of busyness, everyone finally put together a team of fifteen traders returning to the south, and with Li Xu's expectations and the silverware exchanged from him, they hurriedly disappeared into the grass in the distance.
"Master Li, Brother Jiu was optimistic about you at the beginning, but he really didn't look away!" Third Uncle Zhang followed behind Li Xu and praised with emotion. Dozens of taels of silverware changed hands in a blink of an eye, and he had never seen such a big deal in his life. Once those Shu brocade and tea can't be sold at the expected price, this respectable young man in front of him will lose all his money.
"I'm just about to open a shop here, so I'm not in a hurry to sell the goods. Didn't Zhang Ji and Wang Kewang want to stay in the Su Si Ministry? Just in time to help me in the store! Li Xu turned around and returned Uncle Zhang with a confident smile. Zhang Ji and Wang Kewang were the names of the two young people last night, and they wanted to stay in Su Sibu right now, and they were lacking a suitable reason.
"That, that's a good dare! Asahi, Master Li, you're really thoughtful! Third Uncle Zhang didn't react for a while, shook his head, and stammered in reply. Last night, he was still worried that Li Xu would not be able to fulfill his promise, but he didn't expect that it only took one night, and the young man arranged everything properly.
"Third Uncle might as well bring some books to sell next time!" Li Xu laughed and whipped behind the horse's butt and rushed into the tribe. Xu Dayan and Master Coppersmith both said that cruelty to the defeated is the rule on the grassland, and last night, Ah Yun also replied. Can this rule be changed, and the young man hopes that he will have the opportunity to give it a try.
"Actually, they are all kind and good people! Just haven't read a book! The young heart thought sincerely.
For friends, the shepherds of the Susi Department are indeed worthy of the word "kindness". Especially for friends like Li Xu, who are righteous and emotional, everyone is willing to take his affairs as their own. Hearing that he was going to pick up a new felt bag, Ah Silan, Duer, Hou Quli and others rushed to help. At present, the grassland is the time when the price of wool is the lowest, so buying a piece of felt can't cost Li Xu much Shu brocade. In order to allow the first warehouse in the tribe to open as soon as possible, Elder Eto also specially allocated some dry wood strips and wool rope for tying felt bags from the public treasury. Everyone worked together, and in less than two days, Li Xu's felt bags changed from one to four.
"In the future, Aunt Qing's fruit wine, the scimitar made by the coppersmith master, the paper, pens, and silk of the Central Plains can all be sold here! The price of each piece is fairer than others! Tao Kuo Tuosi stood at the door of a felt bag in the outermost part of the room, happily describing his dream.
The people do not have the concept of valuing agriculture over business, and can help her sweetheart do something, which makes her feel happy in her heart. Moreover, this is the only warehouse within a radius of several hundred miles, and with her own and affiliated operations, the girl believes that this warehouse will soon become the most important part of the tribe.
"Little money fan, this warehouse seems to be attached!" Elder Eto stroked his beard and reminded him with a fake kindness.
"I'm going to marry the bride of the Annex! What a fool the elder is! Tao Kuotuo was not polite at all, and stood at the door of the felt bag and replied loudly.
"It turns out that someone is going to marry Detachment as a bride! No wonder the felt bag in the middle is big and tall! Ah Silan put her hands in the shape of a trumpet, smiled and shouted around, "Who else wants to live in this felt bag, there will be no chance after this summer!" ”
"Me!" "Me!" "I'm going to live too!" Several flower-like girls responded loudly, holding hands and rushing to the group of felt bags that had just been raised. "Aslan! You're necrotic! Tao Kuo shouted shyly, rushed forward in three steps and two steps, stretched out his hands, and blocked the door of the felt bag. The fact that the new house is occupied by another woman is a sign that the husband will be tired of him in the future. When it comes to lifelong happiness, the girl will never shy away from it.
The felt bag in the center was very large, so the door was two feet wider than the normal felt bag. The slender Tao Kuo detaches this side and leaves the other side. A few naughty girls laughed wickedly and were eager to try. Tao Kuo was in a hurry, cursing Ah Silan's bad heart while begging for mercy from his female companions. But the female companions refused to show any mercy, and sent a small team, one moment to the left of the door, and the other to the right of the door. Some people rushed to the window where the moisture was being exhausted, and put on half a small boot to make a window shape.
"One, two, flip!" The young shepherds laughed and cheered up the young girl who rushed through the window.
"No, no!" Tao Kuo desi waved his arms, like a mother bird to protect his love nest.
A large broad hand reached out and grasped the girl's fingers, which were already white with anxiety. Tao Kuo stopped laughing, leaned his head happily, and pressed it against Li Xu's broad chest.
"Han Yanzi, he protects his wife like this before he gets married. Beware of becoming a parent, she took advantage of the situation to go to the sky! Aslan's wife, Pa Dai, "counted" as a passer-by.
"Yes, yes, my wife is to be disciplined!" The red-clothed girl with half of her boots already on the wooden window frame smiled and grimaced at Li Xu. It was not very cold anymore, and her slender and white calves were clearly visible under the raised silk skirt.
"Dead Toya, when you get married, I will definitely give your husband a horsewhip!" Taugotos took a sip and threatened in a low voice.
"Who's going to send a horsewhip!" Toya pulled her long legs down from the window and jumped like a fawn.
"My dear brother shouted, I will give you a horsewhip and accompany you to herd sheep. My dear brother said, I would like to be a little lamb and lie down beside you........" The girls laughed and sang unbridledly, and the song rippled in the summer sunset.
"Attached, if I do something wrong in the future?" The girl hid her shame on Li Xu's shoulder, and her voice was as thin as a gnat. "You can beat me and scold me like any other husband teaches his wife, but don't, don't drive me away......."
Li Xu's hand tightened hard, and he firmly lay down the soft silk of Tao Kuo in the depths of his palm. He didn't know how to express friendship on the grassland, and he didn't know the oath of the people, so he had to use this silent language to tell the other party about the existence of love and promise.
"Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son! Is this what they call the hand of the son? The girl Eru quietly looked at her sister who was immersed in happiness in the distance, her eyes full of envy.
Sage Xu went to negotiate with the Khitans! Being able to deal with foreign clans should not be Brother Xu's business at all. Eru turned around lightly and disappeared from the bustle.
Since she was a child, she has followed Aunt Qing, and she has read too many Han poetry. Every sentence seemed to be understood, and when she finally understood one or two of them, she tasted the deep sadness after the poem.
