Chapter 38 The Hu Family's Convoy
The common people in the downtown area are working enthusiastically, everyone keeps moving the goods, although it is very hot, everyone just drinks a few sips of water and continues to work; It's a place where ordinary people work for a long time, and it's everywhere.
There are still a lot of people who are chattering, and there are often people who come to do business with burdens, and those who are hungry will buy a bowl of chaos to eat, or eat a bowl of noodles are very cheap, everyone knows in their hearts that even if they make money, they are all conscience money. It's not as black-hearted as those big merchants.
"Everybody, let's go!" Li Liu opened the way in front of Hu Dawan and Mei Niang, looking at everyone's awe-inspiring eyes, Li Liu enjoyed it very much, this feeling of pretending to be thirteen was really cool.
Li Liu asked Hu Dawan to walk forward, Hu Dawan glanced at Li Liu, turned around and pulled Mei Niang over; Looking at these people in front of them constantly loading goods, most of them are sturdy young men, all of whom are working for the sake of the family.
Mei Niang was very satisfied when she saw it, so that her plan could be easily realized; Mei Niang was taken by Hu Dawan and walked forward, and many people on the road saw Hu Dawan coming to say hello, and they were all dedicated to courtesy; Many people looked at Mei Niang and couldn't walk anymore, so Hu Dawan immediately let the person go.
Seeing these individuals staring at Mei Niang, Hu Dawan felt very uncomfortable, if it weren't for Mei Niang, he would have to come out to see how he was willing to let these people see Mei Niang's beauty; If he could, he wanted to monopolize Mei Niang, it would be enough.
"Master, did you come here today to take a look at the goods that went out?" A middle-aged man, who was hunched over and saw Hu Dawan coming, immediately walked up quickly and asked waitingly.
This man was a squad leader of the caravan in Hufu, and his name was Chengqi; Although his name is Chengqi, this person is middle-aged, and he is just a team leader, and he is really not as loud as his name.
Chengqi just finished explaining to his subordinates, and then saw Hu Dawan, and he shuddered in his heart, obviously a little afraid of Hu Dawan, his eyes were uncertain, and he was hiding something from Hu Dawan at a glance; However, Hu Dawan didn't notice these details, it was just that Mei Niang wanted to come over and have a look, so Hu Dawan followed.
Cheng Qi will smuggle a little gadget when he delivers it out on weekdays, which Hu Dawan doesn't know; But things are very normal, where there are cats that don't steal, after a long time, people's hearts become greedy.
"Are these what you're going to give away?" Mei Niang pointed to several large boxes of goods in front of her and asked.
Chengqi nodded respectfully and said: "Yes, madam, these are some goods made by ordinary Hufu manufacturers, and we will send them out if they are purchased here from other places." ”
Mei Niang asked a hint of taste, and looked at it with some weird curiosity, Hu Dawan saw it and asked Chengqi to open the box; The latter hesitated, but opened the box anyway. When the box was opened, there were some cloths and wooden tools, which were the main goods of Hu Dawan's business, but they were very common.
Mei Niang asked about the taste, and found something different in a wooden box; Mei Niang took advantage of everyone's inattention to open the wooden box, which was full of precious sandalwood. Mei Niang saw it and put it back quietly, no wonder she was so nervous when she saw this artifact before, and there was no shipment with sandalwood found in this box.
Presumably, this is obtained in other places, this sandalwood is very expensive, and it is called ambergris, which is generally a tribute in the palace; It can be seen here that the finished instrument must have been obtained in a specific place; Presumably, Chengqi has already smuggled a lot of ambergris through Hu Dawan's way, and Mei Niang doesn't care much when she sees it, after all, it has nothing to do with what she wants to solve.
"Master, it's too hot, let's go back." Mei Niang was a little tired, and the weaker one came to Hu Dawan's side.
Hu Dawan was distressed when he saw it, hugged Mei Niang and said with pity: "Little lady, let's go back and eat chilled watermelon, but we will exhaust you." After speaking, Hu Dawan took everyone back.
Chengqi saw that Hu Dawan had left the stone in his heart before he put it down, the things in it were smuggled with his head, and generally no one used this kind of thing, so the people who wanted to buy it were some powerful people, and they would not publicize it. As long as nothing happens to these people, it's very refreshing to do it.
It didn't take long for everyone to fill the cart, and with a shout, the convoy of twenty or thirty people set off in a mighty manner; This way I have to go to a big city, the people in it are very rich, and everyone is doing business very well; Some of the men who had gone with the convoy did not come back; Because there is more money to do things in a big place, no matter where there is no one at home, it is the same, so I simply stay there.
Chengqi has been wandering for many years, and he is very clear about where he is; I happened to hear about the smuggling of ambergris, and I was able to make a lot of money, but I was suffering from no way to smuggle it. So after some wine and meat, these people believed in the instrument. The goods provided by Cheng Qi were hidden in Hu Dawan's convoy and often smuggled out.
On the surface, it looks like there is no money, but the money earned in the family has long been a realm that ordinary people can only look up to. In the past, it was to make money, in fact, the instrument could not have been in this way for a long time, but smuggling is like taking drugs, it will be addictive, and after addiction, the instrument will become more and more unable to control itself, and every time I see the money in the transaction, the eyes of the instrument will light up.
Over time, it became a cycle, and if you didn't do it, you would feel uncomfortable.
After a day's journey, we arrived at a resting place in the middle, which was already more than a hundred kilometers away from Mushan Town; There was no human population in between; People who do business all the year round know that there is a small inn here, although the things are not very complete, but there is always a place to settle down, and the instrument beckons everyone to rest, and it is good to hurry early tomorrow.
Everyone in Hu Mansion has already had dinner and is ready to rest; Mei Niang went to bed early, saying that she was a little unwell, so she asked Hu Dawan not to accompany herself tonight, and wanted to have a good night's rest. Hu Dawan listened, although he was a little reluctant, but in order to let Mei Niang rest well, he also agreed.
At night, taking advantage of the night, Mei Niang left the room and turned into a gust of wind and chased after the convoy that set off during the day; Bei Ge heard the movement and immediately followed, Yu Qing, who was still sleeping, was suddenly startled when he saw Bei Ge's face, and was taken out by Bei Ge before he understood what was going on.
Mei Niang is a demon in the end, and her cultivation is not low, there is no way to compare flying in the sky with the earth; At this time, Xiao Hei crawled out of the grapefruit of the other song, and it was very cute to watch the two of them spitting snake letters.
Bei Ge patted his head, looked at Xiao Hei and smiled: "I forgot that there is still you." ”
"Hiss!" Xiao Hei screamed unwillingly, and turned into a giant python that carried Beige and Yu Qing on his back, and the speed became faster in an instant.
It's just that Mei Niang walked faster before, and it will take some time to catch up. At this time, Mei Niang had come to the inn and looked at the sleeping people, under the bright moon, Mei Niang walked into these sturdy men step by step.
Mei Niang put her hands together to cast a spell, and suddenly these sleeping men were in pain, and they were all pulled by Mei Niang's spells; The men all had hideous faces, and their green tendons were exposed and they looked extremely painful; You can clearly see that the essence and blood in the whole body flow little by little in the heart, and everyone has reached this state.
Mei Niang pulled out these essence blood with a sudden return of her hand, and everyone died in their sleep one by one because they did not have the support of the body's essence and blood, and they only felt that it was very painful to have a dream, as if they were dead. It's just that dying in a dream is also really dying in reality. Mei Niang condensed the essence blood into a small ball and swallowed it, using her own exercises with the help of the essence of the moonlight, and immediately digested the essence blood.
Mei Niang licked her red lips, this taste is really delicious, no wonder those old demons in Montenegro like to suck people's essence and blood so much, it turns out that it is really supplemented, but it is just a little cruel.
Looking at the dead people on the ground, Mei Niang had no expression at all, even the shopkeeper Mei Niang did not let go; I saw a person not far away, Mei Niang walked over, but the difference was that this person's eyes were open and he was scared to death.
This person is a weapon, just before the instrument is still a little worried about ambergris, so he came out to see if it is better to put it on himself, but he didn't expect to see Mei Niang turn into a fox as soon as he came back, and he also drew everyone's blood, which made people awe-inspiring under the moonlight. The black gas all over the body is suffocating, and it is the first time I have seen it after living for most of my life.
Chengqi wanted to scream at the last second, but at this time he found that he couldn't speak, and finally watched a fox swallow a blood pill and finally turned into a beauty again, this is good to see, isn't that Mei Niang the person he saw during the day.
Chengqi wanted to go, but his feet had long since stopped listening to his call, seeing Mei Niang using witchcraft to suck human blood, Chengqi was scared and wanted to run, but the more he wanted to run, he felt that his feet weighed a thousand pounds, and he couldn't lift it at all. Until the end, when Mei Niang walked towards her, Chengqi's eyes widened in despair, and the blood vessels burst under the violent vibration of her heart, and she died of fear.
Looking at the dead Chengqi, Mei Niang couldn't help but smile bitterly, seeing that she had found his secret during the day and seeing herself kill at night, she must have gone crazy if she was any person, not to mention that this Chengqi was nearly half a hundred years old, and she was afraid that she would die. It's just ridiculous that Mei Niang hasn't found him yet, but he himself was scared to death, which is also very funny.
After doing these things, Mei Niang clapped her hands, and then turned into a gust of wind and went back.
Whew~ A gust of wind blew, and Xiao Hei on the ground deliberately emitted some smell to wrap himself, so he was not discovered by Mei Niang; Bei Ge felt that something was wrong in his heart when he saw it, and urged Xiao Hei for a while.
The latter also quickened the pace and rushed forward, the two of them rushed quickly at night, and the children who had just come out to pee saw them, and they were all awake instantly, and they didn't forget to say hello to the children when they saw it.
When the child saw such a beautiful sister, he was blindsided, and immediately went home and said to his father: "There is a beautiful sister and a handsome brother riding a big black snake, rushing on the road, even if it is sweaty and bloody, the speed of the big snake is not as fast as the big snake!" ”
When the father and mother saw it, they slapped the child in the face and scolded: "You little rabbit cub, I'm afraid that you have read too many books, so if you have nothing to do, you will find a teacher to teach you tomorrow, so as not to be cranky all day." ”
The child cried with a whimper, and pulled his father and mother out to see the big snake, but when he came out, Don't Ge Yuqing had already gone far away, and his father and mother looked at the child and made up her mind to let the child study hard.
If this father and mother really watched the family farewell song and Yu Qing riding Xiao Hei, I am afraid that if I am not happy, I will be scared to death......
