Chapter 217 The Packer

Lao Qian and I walked on a rugged mountain road, and since I was not used to walking on mountain roads, we walked very slowly. By one o'clock in the afternoon, we had crossed two mountain beams! Old Qian urged me to say, "We have to hurry up, or we won't be able to catch up!" ”。

I wiped the beads of sweat from my head, panting and said, "Don't rush anymore, I won't be able to walk anymore...... You don't know, I've got blisters under my feet! ”。 When Lao Qian saw that I couldn't walk, he stomped his feet and sarcastically said, "You people who drink foreign ink are too squeamish!" ”。 I knew that he was in a hurry, so I deliberately teased him and said: "There is a saying since ancient times, saying that useless is a scholar, probably talking about people like me!" ”。

Lao Qian felt speechless, so he changed his face and asked me warmly: "Sir, how are your feet?" ”。

I laughed and said, "It's okay, it's just worn out!" ”。

Old Qian pouted, frowned, and said, "How can this be good?" ”。 He asked me to sit on the side of the road, took off my shoes and socks, lifted my feet and looked at them, and said, "Sir, the soles of your feet are all bleeding, how can you walk here?" ”。

I said, "Don't worry, I'll just rest for a while!" ”。 I frowned and put my shoes and socks back on. Old Qian tilted his toes and looked behind him. I asked him, "Hey, old money, what do you see!" ”。

Lao Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to me, "Did you hear the voice?" ”。

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What sound?" ”。

Old Qian said, "Ringtone! ”。

I laughed and said, "How can there be a bell here?" Did you hear it wrong? ”。

Lao Qian said: "Don't make a sound, the bell is behind us!" ”。

I hurriedly put on my leather shoes and looked behind me, only to see that the clouds and fog behind me were steaming, and the way I came was already hidden in a rain and fog!

I asked Lao Qian softly, "Where are they?" ”。

Lao Qian pointed to the fog and said, "They are in the fog, let's wait for them here!" ”。

I asked Lao Qian curiously, "What do they do?" ”。

Lao Qian said with a smile: "They are transporting salt, Sir may not know, we do not produce salt here, so the salt eaten by the common people must be transported in from outside the mountains by pack horses!" “。

Lao Qian and I were chatting about it when we saw a team of pack horses coming out of the clouds! The pack horses were about fourteen or fifteen, all carrying sacks on their backs, and they came to us step by step!

We saw them, and they saw us too, and a middle-aged man walking in the head, leading a red horse, shouted to us, "Hey! Friends in front, what do you do? ”。

Old Qian whispered to me: "They think we are bandits, and they are talking to us!" ”。 After speaking, he raised his voice and shouted: "Fellow, we are not bandits, come here!" ”。

The big man put his hand on the pergola, looked at us carefully for a while, and then shouted, "Why don't you leave?" ”。

Lao Qian smiled: "Our gentleman can't walk, don't be afraid of ......!" ”。

The big man turned around and muttered a few words to the young man behind him, and shouted, "Then you let me go, we will pass!" ”。

Old Qian pulled me to the side of the road and told me, "Be careful, these horses are heavy, don't let them squeeze you into the ditch!" ”。

The big man slapped the horse's buttocks with a wooden stick, and the horse snorted, pursed its ears, bent its back, and struggled upward, and the horse's hooves stepped on the stone pavement, clanging! I saw the horse scrawny, carrying two bags of marijuana heavier than its body, staggering down the uphill road more than a meter wide, the stone road on one side of the mountain and the other side of a bottomless mountain stream, as long as the horse's hooves slipped, it would roll down the mountain with the goods and horses!

The fog in the mountains is getting bigger and bigger, and the sun is shining just now, but the sky is completely overcast by this time! The trees and grass were wet and full of moisture, and the air became drenched, and mist filled the hills and valleys.

Old Qian looked at the sky and said regretfully, "It's going to rain!" ”。

The horse team walked up to us, and Lao Qian stopped the middle-aged man and started talking to him! He discussed with the middle-aged man and wanted to rent one of their horses, but the middle-aged man shook his head and said that their horses were all used to transport salt, not for people to ride, and they didn't have any idle horses!

Lao Qian didn't give up, so he said that I was a guest invited by the county magistrate, and asked him to find a way to free up a horse! The middle-aged man looked at me and muttered, "Is he really the county master's guest?" ”。 When I saw that Lao Qian was lying, I couldn't help but panic, so I put on a straight face and said to the middle-aged man in English: "I need to rent one of your horses!" ”。

The middle-aged man had seen some of the world, and when he saw that I was not only dressed in a dress, but also able to speak bird language, he couldn't help but be in awe of me, and asked me, "Is this ...... This......! ”。 Lao Qian reminded on the side: "Sir, you have to call Mr!" ”。

The middle-aged man patted his head and said, "Yes, you want to call Mr." Do you speak Chinese, sir? ”。

Lao Qian rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. is a foreigner, of course he can't speak Chinese!" ”。

The middle-aged man said in disbelief: "How can he be a foreigner?" Foreigners are all blue-eyed and high-nosed, how does he look like a Chinese? ”。

Lao Qian was afraid that the middle-aged man would ask questions and ask about flaws, so he offered a killer idea: "Okay, okay!" Don't talk nonsense, I'll ask if you can lend us a horse! ”。

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed and said, "It's really not that we don't borrow this, don't you see?" Every horse is carrying something, and even we don't have a horse to ride. ”。

Lao Qian gritted his teeth, pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "You elm pimple, let me ask you, do you want to do this business?" ”。

The middle-aged man was startled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”。

Old Qian said, "I'll tell you the truth! Mr. Charlie is very angry, as long as he says a few bad things to the county master, you will want to do this business, do you believe it or not? ”。

The middle-aged man runs outside all the year round, how can he not know the power of this foreigner? Not to mention the county lord, it is the local Futai lord, and when he sees the foreign lord, he also has to salute, not to mention them, the small people? This is from the ancient road, the people don't fight with the officials, not to mention that I still have a big family to support? When the middle-aged man thought of this, he turned his head and shouted, "Hei Ni, you pour the dark horse to them!" ”。

Hei Ni was a sturdy girl with a dark complexion, who wore a big braid, a floral gown, blue cloth trousers, and a pair of big feet. When he heard the middle-aged man's words, he asked, "Dad, what is the goods on the dark horse?" ”。

The middle-aged man said, "You go to the other side immediately!" ”。

Hei Ni agreed, flicked her braids and turned around and ran along the mountain road, towards the back of the pack team! Old Qian arched his hand and said, "Thank you, brother, thank you!" ”。

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to thank, it's not easy for us to go out." That's right! I still have an oil-paper umbrella right away, and it's going to rain soon, so you can use it! ”。

Lao Qian said: "Thank you, brother, you are really our great benefactor!" When we meet the county master, I will definitely give you a few kind words! ”。

The middle-aged man clenched his fists and said, "Thank you!" I still have something to do over there, so I can't accompany the two of you! ”。

Lao Qian arched his hand and said, "Brother, please!" ”。

The middle-aged man had a bulging chest and belly, and strode to catch up with the head horse! I quietly pulled the placket of Lao Qian's clothes and asked him, "I said Lao Qian, do you know the county master?" ”。

Old Qian shook his head and said, "Don't you know? ”。

I said, "Then what about you still helping people's good words?" ”。

Old Qian smiled and said, "I don't say that, can we borrow a horse?" ”。

We were muttering quietly when we saw Black Nier leading a white-nosed black horse and walking towards us! Old Qian winked at me and said, "Sir, what do you think of our mountain women?" ”。

I pretended to be confused and said, "What's the matter?" ”。

Lao Qian cast an admiring look at Hei Ni and said: "Look at the women in our mountains, although they are all rough and have no delicate spirit as the women in your city, they are hard-working and hard-working, and their personalities are pungent and spicy, and they are much stronger than the women in your city!" ”。

I saw that Hei Ni's breasts were really towering, and her trembling body was full of youthful vitality, and she didn't have the pretentious charm of a city woman at all! She approached us and smiled at me with white teeth and a ceramic glow! I quickly pulled the placket of Lao Qian's shirt and whispered a warning to him: "Don't talk nonsense, she's coming!" ”。

Old Qian was cheeky and said, "She's not a tigress, what are you afraid of?" ”。

I hurriedly said, "Who said she was a tigress?" Can you say a few words? ”。

When Lao Qian saw Hei Ni approaching, he squeezed his eyes with me and whispered, "Come on, you just pretend to be your foreign adult!" ”。 Then he grinned at Hei Ni and said, "Oh, big girl, you have brought the horse, and we are all dying!" ”。

Hei Ni looked at the old money and frowned, pursed her lips and said to him, "This horse is for you to ride, but there is one thing, you can't smoke it!" ”。

Old Qian said with a hippie smile: "I said big sister, are you mistaken?" If you don't let us smoke it, how can we ride it? ”。

Hei Ni raised her eyebrows and said, "My horse is fierce, I'm afraid that if you provoke it, it will lift you into the ditch again!" ”。

The smile on Lao Qian's face suddenly froze, and he said after a while, "Why did you bring such a horse?" Did you deliberately not let us ride? ”。

Heini giggled and said, "Why didn't I let you ride it?" I'll lead you, which of you will get on the horse? ”。

Hei Ni raised her chin slightly, blinking her eyes as if she was provocative, looking at me and Lao Qian. Old Qian took a step back, pulled me out, and said to Hei Ni, "His foot is broken, you let him get on the horse!" ”。

Hei nodded to me and helped me onto my horse. I sat on horseback, looked up and saw the dark clouds overhead, the rain and mist in the distance, and Hei Ni's clothes were glued to her body when the wind blew, outlining her graceful and toned figure! I thought to myself, "It's already windy, so it's not far from raining!" ”。
