Meng Chen was not interested in other objects, the only thing worth noting was the scroll of animal skin paper.

On this scroll of vellum, black lines outline the general appearance of Manniu Village, and many key locations are marked with red lines. For example, the large mansion of the village chief's family, the residence of each village elder, the granary for storing grain, the cowshed for breeding cattle, and so on.

After taking a closer look, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "This map is very finely drawn, it seems that this group of men in black is very well prepared." With this map, it saves a lot of trouble. ”

Taking out a set of paper and pens, Meng Chen began to transcribe the map.

After more than an hour, Meng Chen finished transcribing the map and then put all the objects back in their original places.

At this time, Alfred said to Meng Chen: "Boss, the wound has been treated!" ”

Meng Chen nodded and asked, "When will she wake up?" ”

"The bleeding has stopped, and I should be able to wake up soon." Alfred replied.

"Uh......"

It didn't take long for the woman in black to groan, gradually open her eyes, and exclaimed, "You...... You guys...... Who is it? ”

Meng Chen showed a bright smile and said kindly: "Don't worry, girl, you are safe now!" Below is Stephen Hawking, the cloth merchant, and this is my retinue, Ah Fu. ”

Turning her head to look at the large piece of bare skin on her shoulder, a trace of shame flashed in the eyes of the woman in black, and said, "You ......"

Meng Chen smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, girl! Because the girl was bleeding non-stop, I asked Ah Fu to help you clean and tie the wounds. This is also a last resort, and I hope the girl will not be surprised. ”

Glancing at Alfred, the woman in black fell into a coma again.

"Girl? Girl? Meng Chen called twice, but did not get a response, so he could only shake his head helplessly, and said to Alfred: "It seems that her injuries are very serious, you will take care of her tonight!" ”

"Yes! Boss! Alfred nodded in response.

Meng Chen yawned and fell asleep on the other bed.

Many people couldn't sleep that night, and the guards of Manniu Village held torches high and searched for the invading men in black, but in the end they found nothing.

The next morning, when Meng Chen woke up from his sleep, he found that Alfred was feeding the woman in black liquid food.

Meng Chen came to the woman in black and smiled, "Girl, are you awake?" ”

"Hmm!" The woman in black nodded slightly.

"Haven't asked the girl's name yet?" Meng Chen asked.

The woman in black lowered her head and replied softly, "My name is ...... Qing'er. ”

At this time, Meng Chen noticed that the atmosphere inside the shack seemed to be something wrong.

Alfred was silently feeding Qing'er, and Qing'er was blushing and eating one bite at a time.

Looking at Alfred, and then at Qing'er, Meng Chen muttered in his heart: "There seems to be something wrong with these two people!" Why do you suddenly feel like a light bulb? ”

"Uh-huh!" Meng Chen coughed lightly and said, "This...... I'll go out, Miss Qing'er, please use it slowly! ”

After leaving the shack, Meng Chen muttered to himself, "Could it be that Qing'er has taken a fancy to Alfred?" Impossible! With Alfred's current sloppy appearance, what girl would take a fancy to him? ”

From the trunk of the ox cart, a set of change of clothes was turned out, and Meng Chen rubbed for a long time before returning to the shed.

Qing'er had finished eating, and was sitting weakly on the bed at the moment.

Meng Chen smiled and said: "Miss Qing'er's clothes are too conspicuous, there is just a change of clothes here, let Ah Fu change them for you later." ”

Qing'er thanked softly: "Thank you, Boss Huo!" ”

"Hehehe! Miss Qing'er is polite! Meng Chen said with a smile on his face, and shouted in his heart: "I didn't refuse, the two really had an adulterous relationship!" ”

Today is the first day of the Bull Taming Festival, and Meng Chen and Alfred need to go to the market to set up a stall, and after changing Qing'er into clean clothes, they let her stay alone in the shack to recuperate.

Meng Chen and Alfred drove the ox cart and followed the convoy of Antler Village towards the venue of the Cattle Taming Festival.

The venue covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters, and is located between the shack area and Manniu Village, and is an open flat land surrounded by a wooden fence.

At this time, the bull training festival has just begun, and the venue is already crowded.

Meng Chen roughly swept it, there should be five or six thousand people.

Every year, most of the villages within a radius of 300 miles will send personnel to participate in the cattle taming festival in Manniu Village.

In addition, there are many traveling merchants who will also come to participate in the bull taming festival, and the cloth merchant played by Meng Chen belongs to this category.

After paying a fee of silver knife coins, Meng Chen and the convoy of Antler Village set up a booth in the market south of the venue.

Since Meng Chen only sells fabric, setting up a stall is very simple, just lift the tarpaulin and hang a banner with a price to complete it.

The convoy in Antlers Village was much more troublesome, first laying out a square blanket on the ground, and then laying out the goods in the six ox carts one by one.

Meng Chen had nothing to do, so he watched Mi Yang and the others busy on the sidelines.

What kind of deer whip, deer antler, deer skin, venison, deer wine, as long as it is the parts of the deer, can be found in the stalls of Antler Village.

After setting up the stall, Mi Yang came to Meng Chen's side and quipped: "Boss Huo has been looking at Mi's stall, does he want to buy a few more jars of deer whip wine?" ”

Meng Chen smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Senior Mi said that he was laughing!" I don't have much business now, and I have nothing to do in my spare time, so I come over and nag. ”

Mi Yang waved his hand and said: "The bull training festival has just begun, most people are watching the bullfighting in the north, and the market in the south will slowly become lively until the afternoon." ”

Subsequently, Meng Chen chatted with Mi Yang while knocking on the side to obtain information.

For example, which villages are friends with Manniu Village, which villages Manniu Village has grudges with, what are the warriors of Manniu Village, and so on.

In this regard, Mi Yang didn't have any suspicions, but he just felt that Meng Chen's curiosity was heavier.

When the information was almost exhausted, Meng Chen asked Alfred to guard the stall, and he began to wander around the market.

There are a lot of stalls in the market, and most of them are buying and selling some daily necessities, such as food, medicinal herbs, fabrics, snacks and so on.

Of course, there are also stalls selling metal products, weapons and equipment, among which Meng Chen saw the stalls in Shanli Village.

Mu Lao was directing the villagers at this moment, hanging a banner with a price.

Meng Chen looked at the price, ordinary swordsmen and archers were equipped with 1 gold sword coin, and elite swordsmen and archers were equipped with 10 gold sword coins.

After calculating the price a little, Meng Chen secretly scolded in his heart: "Profiteer! ”

Ordinary swordsman and archer equipment, the price at which Meng Chen sold it, according to the price level, was equivalent to two silver sword coins at most.

Mu Lao, a profiteer, just reversed his hand and made four times the profit!

Because Meng Chen was disguised, Mu Lao didn't notice Meng Chen.
