After arranging everything at home, the two drove the carriage to the town.

Because the car was full of mountain goods, the mules did not go fast, and now it was the time of high autumn air, and the autumn wind in the morning carried a little coolness, and it was still a little cold on the body.

Mei Xiaotong was wrapped in a thin cloak, and in the bamboo tube in her hand, two eggs were beaten in hot rice wine, stirred like silk, and when she took a sip, it was sweet, and her whole body was hot.

This is what Mrs. Li made for Mei Xiaotong early in the morning, and there is a lot of brown sugar in it, and it is best for girls to drink this.

It is rare for An Huahao to have such a time when he is alone with Yongzhu without anyone disturbing him, even if he doesn't speak, he feels happy, and the corners of his mouth have been slightly upturned.

Mei Xiaotong drank a few sips of rice wine and eggs, and her body was warm, so she hugged the bamboo tube to warm her hands and gossip with An Huahao.

"In a while, let's go and hand over the mountain goods first, and then go to the dyeing workshop to buy a few pieces of cloth, and take them next time we go to Chongzigou." Then go to your two masters, are you okay? ”

An Huahao naturally had no opinion, "You can arrange it, let's do the important things first, there must be nothing good for them to think of, let them wait." ”

Listening to An Huahao's tone, it seems that the relationship with those two masters is not very good.

Mei Xiaotong thought about it, originally she didn't plan to ask An Huahao about the past, and for An Huahao, she might not want people to know.

But for a while, since the two masters who were going to see An Huahao, they couldn't spare it, and they didn't know it in their hearts, and they couldn't help when they wanted to.

After hesitating for a moment, Mei Xiaotong spoke, "Then if you want convenience, can you talk about your two masters?" What's your relationship like? How do they treat you on weekdays? What is the noble man who confessed his wrong son to you? ”

After speaking, I was afraid that An Huahao would misunderstand, so I hurriedly added an explanation, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, I just thought, I'll go to see your two masters in a while, and I don't know what their attitude is towards you, in case it's not good for you, I don't need to give them a good look." Anyway, I have a number in my heart, I know how to treat others, I can't be rude, but I didn't catch up, so as not to lose your face, right? ”

Where could An Huahao misunderstand, listening to Mei Xiaotong's words, every word is for himself, and he doesn't care much at all, although he is cold by nature, he feels wasted to even take a look at people who don't care.

But once it is in the eyes and in the heart, then hold it on the tip of the heart, like a jewel, and there will be no doubts.

Turning back and touching Mei Xiaotong's hair, An Huahao smiled a little at the corner of his mouth, "I'm the one who doesn't know what to do?" Between me and you, what can't be said? ”

As he spoke, he raised the horsewhip in his hand and whistled in the air before telling Mei Xiaotong about the original situation.

At the beginning, An Huahao and Song Chunhua were kicked out by the An family, and they couldn't live their lives, An Huahao was forced to be helpless, what can a teenager do?

I only heard that there are them in the mountains

Good things, if you have the ability and luck, you can pick up mountain goods when you go into the mountains, or you can hunt prey for money.

At that time, An Huahao didn't learn skills, nor did he have any other skills, so he gritted his teeth and entered the mountain.

He was already young, and he followed everyone on weekdays, and walked around the Qili slope not much.

What is on Qilipo, it has long been lighted by the villagers, where can he have a share of a half-grown child?

In order to survive, Anhua Hao ruthlessly entered the Great Black Mountain.

The Orion who generally does not have a few brushes in the Great Black Mountain does not dare to enter alone, and he is a child, even if he is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and with a stupid boldness, he went in.

It didn't take long for him to get lost, tired, thirsty and hungry, and he had bad luck and provoked a litter of wild boars.

This wild boar is in the mountains, but it is a disaster, and the wild boar herd is generally not easy to provoke even wolves and tigers.

An Huahao was unlucky, a little back, and he met it, and was driven all the way, in a hurry, An Huahao climbed a tree, thinking that he was safe.

But the wild boars that went mad were irrational, their skins were covered with mud and grease in the mountains, and they were hard and thick, and their fangs were thick and long, and they took turns hitting the tree that Anhua Hao had climbed.

After a few clicks, An Huahao was hit and crumbling, and just when he thought his life was in danger, someone came out of nowhere, and first shot the two boars in the lead.

I don't know how to lure the remaining wild boar away.

An Huahao breathed a sigh of relief, but his hands and feet were so stiff that he couldn't even get off the tree.

It was the man who turned around, slipped An Huahao down, tied the wild boar with a rope, called An Huahao, and dragged the wild boar to a cave together.

In the cave, the man told An Huahao that he was a hunter in the mountains, surnamed Qin, and saw that An Huahao was a good seedling, and asked if he wanted to learn to hunt with him.

An Huahao couldn't ask for it, so he immediately worshiped Naqin Orion as his master, the rules of the countryside, and being an apprentice to others, which is equivalent to being a son for others and a long-term worker who does not need money.

If you want to do everything, you must bow down and serve the master comfortably, and the master will look at the mood and teach the apprentice three moves and two styles.

An Huahao carries the burden of supporting his family, has suffered hardships before, and knows what it is like to be hungry, so he treats this master as a life-saving benefactor, and he really treats him like a father.

He is bold, careful, and willing to learn, but he really made Qin Orion look at him, although he doesn't have a good face for him on weekdays, he doesn't hide his selfishness, and he slowly teaches An Huahao what he has learned.

An Huahao slowly found out that something was wrong, after he followed Qin Orion, he often went into the mountains, and at first Qin Orion was accompanied by Qin Orion, and then when he learned some skills, Qin Orion no longer cared about him, but called An Huahao if he had nothing to do, and today he asked to eat the deer in the mountains, and tomorrow he wanted to eat roe deer or something.

Most of An Huahao's skills have been honed in this way, alone in the mountains,

Several times I crawled out of the life.

If it is another master, whether it is face-saving or not, he will also comfort him, but then Qin Orion will always find fault first, scold An Huahao, and then throw a bottle of medicine and don't care.

As soon as An Huahao's injuries were healed, he immediately drove him into the mountain again.

There have been many times, and An Huahao has also seen it in the mountains, and he has doubts in his heart about what it is like for a master from another family to take an apprentice.

Looking at Qin Orion again, there are flaws everywhere.

Although he is a hunter, he lives in the town, and he rarely goes into the mountains on weekdays, but his life is nourishing, and he eats meat every day, and he has to drink alcohol every meal.

In particular, although Qin Orion is a hunter, he has no contact with his neighbors, but he has a lot of friendship with the shopkeeper of a bookstore next door.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore, who also looks high-minded on weekdays, first saw An Huahao and ridiculed him for being stubborn, a wild boy in the country, and he couldn't read words.

Later, I saw a lot, disgusted that An Huahao was illiterate and lost Qin Orion's face, and threw him a few books, what a hundred family names, a thousand words, and taught An Huahao to read and write.

Taught that day, asked the next day, if An Huahao can't answer, it will be a scolding, without a dirty word, but it can be said in a way that makes people want to die of shame.

An Huahao had no foundation at first, and was scolded by the shopkeeper so embarrassed that he mustered up the courage to tell Qin Orion that he had only learned to hunt now and could barely make ends meet.

Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the time and energy, let alone the money. I'm afraid I'm going to live up to the good intentions of the bookstore owner.

Qin Orion instead scolded An Huahao for not knowing what to do, someone could teach him to read, and he didn't want money, such a great favor, what happened to just scolding him a few words? In other people's homes, some people can teach reading and literacy in vain, and many people are rushing to have such an opportunity.

An Huahao was already high-spirited, but Qin Orion's words aroused his temperament, even if the bookstore shopkeeper spoke badly and his attitude was bad, he could endure it when he thought of the words he recognized and the things he learned in his stomach.

He began to read and write with the shopkeeper of the bookstore.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore claimed to be surnamed Zhang, and An Huahao began to thank him for his kindness in teaching him to read and write, and also wanted to kowtow to his teacher, but was categorically rejected by the shopkeeper Zhang.

However, An Huahao regarded Shopkeeper Zhang and Qin Orion as masters in his heart, and when he hit a good prey, it was absolutely indispensable for the two of them, and every time he gave gifts to the two of them according to the etiquette.

After a long time, An Huahao also discovered the strangeness of the shopkeeper of the bookstore.

Observing and paying attention every day, I later overheard Qin Orion and Shopkeeper Zhang getting drunk and revealing their mouths.

It turned out that Qin Orion was the subordinate of the noble man who had adopted Song Chunhua at the beginning, and he was originally a henchman around the nobleman with a bright future, but because Song Chunsheng gave birth to a son, he was sent by that noble man to protect his son.

From now on, in this deep ravine, where is the future?

Qin Orion had resentment in his heart, and he couldn't disobey his master's will, so he could only vent his resentment on An Huahao.

What should be taught is still taught, but that attitude is not the attitude towards the little master, but the same as treating his subordinates, treating An Huahao as his own servant and subordinates.

As long as An Huahao is guaranteed not to die, as for An Huahao's injury or how to drop, he will never interfere.

And the shopkeeper of the bookstore, who is also a subordinate of the nobleman, is said to be a lifter, and it is very likely that he was in high school at the beginning, but there was an accident at home, and he offended someone, so in order to save his life, he went to the nobleman's door.

It was also not taken seriously, so he was sent to teach An Huahao to read and write.

Naturally, he has no master-apprentice relationship with An Huahao, and he doesn't look down on An Huahao's identity, but he is just a concubine of a nobleman, and he grew up in the countryside, what can he do in the future?

An Huahao is now more than ten years old, and the master sent the two of them to teach, looking at this meaning, it is just to be raised as a thing, after all, it is his own blood and blood, and he probably has no intention of taking it back to his own family.

Even if in the future, the master suddenly wants to bring An Huahao back, born in the countryside, taught by an unknown teacher, and born in Orion, this item is completely cut off An Huahao's way.

At most, it's just a pawn raised by the family and responsible for passing on the lineage.

Thinking that the two of them have spent most of their lives, they will fold on the identity of An Huahao, how can the two not complain in their hearts?

Anyway, the master only occasionally remembers, and asks about the situation here, as long as An Huahao is not dead, they naturally can't care.

Hearing this, An Huahao understood his life experience and situation.

Since then, he has become reticent and refuses to trust anyone anymore, working hard to learn the hunting methods and martial arts of Qin Orion.

For the shopkeeper Zhang, he is still respectful, and he is becoming more and more serious in learning, but the little gratitude in his heart has long disappeared.

A few days ago, after An Huahao was determined not to be Song Chunhua's son, An Huahao personally went to explain the situation to Qin Orion and Shopkeeper Zhang, and completely cut off the meager master-apprentice relationship between the two.

After Mei Xiaotong heard this, she looked at An Huahao's eyes full of sympathy.

She only knew that An Huahao had a hard time, but she didn't expect his life to be like this.

Step by step, everything is on his own, and no one can help him.

Thinking about it like this, looking at An Huahao's eyes softened, "Okay, I know it in my heart." You've worked hard all these years. “

In a word, An Huahao's heart was sour, looking at Mei Xiaotong's concerned look, the depression in his heart was suddenly forgotten.

staggered to the town, first to Guan Yifei, he had already rented a warehouse, and hired two young men to clean and guard every day.

See May

Xiaotong and An Huahao came, and the two young men hurriedly greeted them, and went to the courtyard to inform Guan Yifei.

Guan Yifei heard An Huahao say yesterday that Mei Xiaotong was going to deliver the goods today, and he had been waiting for a long time.

When he heard the news, he immediately came out, saw a cart full of mountain goods, and nodded with satisfaction.

Now is the season to buy mountain goods, this year's shop business in the town is not as good as in previous years, coming and going, he also heard a few ears, saying that there is a Mei family in Lingshan Village to buy mountain goods now, the price is fair, than selling to the people in the town is much more cost-effective.

Guan Yifei knew it in his heart and knew that this was the Mei family who was cooperating with the big boss.

I didn't expect them to make a name for themselves so quickly, and it seems that they still have two brushes.

The three of them were polite, then drove the carriage to the yard, and after unloading the goods, Guan Yifei carefully inspected it.

He is also doing this for the rest of his life, and when he saw the mountain goods that Mei Xiaotong dragged this time, he couldn't help but sigh for a moment.

There are many goods and good quality, especially the dried jade mushrooms that are less than half a catty, Guan Yifei didn't dare to use force in his hands, for fear of pinching them.

This is white silver.

After inspecting the goods and delivering the silver taels, Guan Yifei saw that Mei Xiaotong and they seemed to have something, so he hurriedly left, and hurriedly called Mei Xiaotong, "Mei girl, this jade mushroom is still too small, and the number of contracts you signed with our big boss at the beginning will not be less!" ”

Mei Xiaotong naturally knew in her heart that now there was nothing else, and the gap in this jade mushroom was really difficult to fill.

After thinking about it, I still have to breed it artificially.

Looking at Guan Yifei's posture, if he didn't give some happy words today, he probably wouldn't be able to let himself go, so he had to nod his head, "Don't worry, I've always kept it in my heart, and I'll keep it to Zhang Da's shopkeeper when the time comes." ”

When Guan Yifei heard this, he was overjoyed, this is what Boss Zhang has been thinking about, he has asked several letters, and today he can finally hear Mei Xiaotong's such a positive answer, and he can also explain.

After the silver came out, Mei Xiaotong began to worry in her heart, and she was happy, but even if the remaining jade mushrooms were to be grown, she had to find a place.

Now that the Mei family is in such a situation, it is categorically impossible to plant in the Mei family.

An Huahao has been paying attention, and naturally saw "What's wrong?" Isn't it a jade mushroom? In a few days, I will take you into the mountains, and we will always find it. ”

When Mei Xiaotong heard this, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pulled An Huahao's sleeve and asked, "Have you found that kind of relatively hidden cave in the mountains, a place where no one has found it?" ”

Although An Huahao didn't know what Mei Xiaotong was asking for, he thought about it before saying, "There is such a place, but it is a little biased, you ......"

"That's good, let's talk about it when we get back." Mei Xiaotong had a bottom in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face.

The two drove the carriage to the dyeing workshop again, and the shopkeeper Zheng hadn't seen the two for several days, and he knew that the Mei family was busy now

The mountain goods business, welcome out, greeted a few words, and asked how the mountain goods business is.

Mei Xiaotong smiled and said it was okay.

Shopkeeper Zheng also implicitly mentioned two sentences, saying that the shops that collect mountain goods in the town are said to be influential, and the reputation of the Meijiashan goods store has also spread to the town, so let them pay attention to it.

Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao knew it in their hearts, and thanked the shopkeeper Zheng for his advice.

Mei Xiaotong proposed to buy a few pieces of cloth, and the shopkeeper Zheng smiled when he heard it, "You are now a shareholder of our dyeing workshop, but only a few pieces of cloth, and you still need to pay for it?" Say, whatever color you want, just ask the guy to carry it into the car for you. ”

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly waved his hand and explained, the use of this cloth "One yard is one yard, and I am one yard with the dyeing workshop, but now I buy cloth on behalf of my family's mountain goods business, which is to be sold to others, so naturally it cannot be grouped together." The public is public, the private is private, and the cloth should be as much as it should be, and it cannot be confused. ”

Only then did the shopkeeper Zheng understand, and he looked up to Mei Xiaotong by two points, and instructed the guy to move out the cloth that Mei Xiaotong requested, and by the way, he also suggested, "Now there is another batch of dyed cloth in the dyeing workshop, and the number is not much, and it is all a small problem, and people who are not particular about it really can't see it." The price is also cheap, so you might as well take it, and you will be able to deal with the hunters in the mountains in the future. ”

This is a good suggestion, Mei Xiaotong knows, in fact, the Zhuang family really does not pay attention to what they wear on weekdays, and the craftsmanship of the auspicious dyeing workshop, even if it is dyed, that is, the color is uneven, or other small problems.

This kind of cloth, in exchange for the black-hearted merchant, can be sold as good cloth to the ignorant or careless people.

Now, although she only has a friendship with the hunters in Chongzigou, she has also heard that in the depths of the Great Black Mountain, there are many such villages, which are also inconvenient to enter and exit, and are discriminated against by people outside the mountain.

If this fabric is used well, you may be able to find a reliable supply point.

Thinking about it like this, Mei Xiaotong didn't postpone it, thanked the shopkeeper Zheng, and wrapped the damaged fabric.

Shopkeeper Zheng told Mei Xiaotong about the recent business situation of the dyeing workshop, and the accounts of a quarter were also shown to Mei Xiaotong.

Looking at the numbers on the books, Mei Xiaotong knew that the dividend at the end of the year was not a small amount, and she was really happy in her heart.
