Chapter Eighty-Five: Chasing the Soldiers
After a while, more than a dozen figures turned out from the corner of the mountain road, Li Da stood up and looked at the footsteps, and shouted,
"Who?"
The man who came answered aloud,
"Passers-by! Seeing that there is a fire in this place, I have come to talk to you! ”
Li Da smiled and beckoned when he heard this,
"That is, they are all people who are in a hurry, and they should take care of each other, and come here to bake the fire and drink a sip of old wine!"
The gang walked over as they were told, but where the fire shone down, they saw the leader's face full of flesh.
The leader was dressed as a foot businessman, but behind him was a guard, Fang Susu would definitely be able to recognize someone if he lifted the curtain at this time, but Li Da didn't know him.
Everyone moved their seats to those people and sat down, Li Da looked up and down at this group of people, he has been hunting in the mountains all year round, although he has not seen much of the world, but the fierce aura on these people is heavier than the big insects in the mountains, how can he not see it?
At the moment, he quietly took the gourd placed at his feet and handed it over,
"These brothers want to take a sip of their own turbid wine!"
The man waved his hand and said,
"Thank you! It's hard to drink, thank you brother for your kindness! ”
Li Da gestured to the first few people behind him, and they also shook their heads, and he didn't force it, so he pointed to the hot dry cakes and a few salted meats on the fire, "Eat meat without drinking!" ”
The leader bowed his hand,
"Thank you for your kindness! How can we divide the food of a few brothers, we bring our own! ”
Li Da smiled slightly, but he didn't force it, he only beckoned his own people to eat and drink, and the two groups of people were relatively speechless for a while.
The leader looked around, looked at the carriage where the horses had been unloaded, and looked back and smiled,
"Didn't you ask this brother Taigao's name?"
Li laughed and arched his hand,
"What kind of high surname does the people in the mountains have, and the cheap name is Li Da, this is my brother Li Er......"
This man lifted up a cadre of people around him, and asked the man again,
"I don't know where this brother surnamed Gao is from, where is he going?"
The leader answered,
"I'm Mu Khan, these are my brothers, we came from Xizhou to do some small business here!"
Li Da smiled and nodded,
"It turned out to be from Xizhou, no wonder I saw that the hair color and eyes of several brothers were a little different from those of the Han people!"
Mu Khan's eyes swirled on the carriage and asked,
"Brother Li, are you planning to transport some mountain goods to sell outside?"
Li Da nodded and said,
"This is a prey that a village has hunted for a season, and it can be sold at a better price when it is transported outside!"
"Oh......"
Mu Khan's eyes rolled and he answered,
"We came from Xizhou as far away, just to sell some products from the Central Plains to Xizhou to change hands, Brother Li is better to sell mountain goods to our brother to see, I can't say that the business can be done, and it will save this effort!"
Li Da laughed when he heard this,
"These things of ours are ordinary mountain goods, and the quality is not the best, and the price is not cheap, if Brother Mu wants to sell them back to Xizhou, I am afraid that I will not be able to make a few dollars!"
Mu Khan's eyes flashed fiercely,
"Yes! Brother Li wants to sell goods, so it should be okay for people to see! ”
Lee laughed and said,
"The sale of goods is for people to see, but now is not the time to look at the goods, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Mu Hanwei laughed, the muscles on his face jumped, and he slowly straightened up, but a few people around him put their hands on the hilt of the knife, and the group of hunters behind Li Da also sank their faces, and some people turned around and touched the bow and arrow placed at their feet,
"If I say...... Now we'll see! ”
The corners of Li Da's eyes jumped wildly, and Mu Khan looked at each other in pairs, his eyes did not give in, and for a while, he only heard the crackling sound of the branches in the fire, and Li Dacai laughed and said,
"Brother Mu is really a businessman! If you're in a hurry, let's take a look! ”
After saying that, he got up and took the lead to walk towards the carriage, Mu Khan followed closely, but the person behind him drew his knife out of the sheath, Li Da pulled the curtain in the past, and the leather goods in it were piled up, and the unique pickled smell of mountain goods came to his face.
Mu Khan squinted and looked at the carriage, not wanting to let go of it at all, and after looking at it for a long time, he smiled and said,
"Brother Li, these goods are indeed a little poor, I'm afraid they won't sell at a good price!"
Li Dayingdao,
"People in the mountains just have enough to eat, so it's good to be able to sell it! It seems that Brother Mu can't look down on it! ”
The two laughed, and Li Da arched his hand at Mu Khan and said,
"Even if you are full of food and drink, Brother Mu still has to rush to do business, so I won't keep you!"
When Mu Han heard this, his eyes were fierce, and Li Da sneered and said,
"I don't know what kind of business Brother Mu does, it's just that I've been running in the mountains for many years, and it's the first time I've encountered someone like you, no matter what business you do, please leave here tonight, so that the brothers can rest in peace!"
Mu Khan sneered a few times when he heard this,
"Good! Brother Li only sells the best goods, remember not to worry about yourself! ”
"Don't worry about it!"
The two gangs hated and put the long knife at their waist back into its sheath,
"Let's go!"
Mu Khan took the people away, and Li Da turned around and sorted out the leather goods in the carriage again.
"Leave two people to keep vigil, and the rest of the people will be fine...... Go to sleep! ”
As he spoke, he patted the rabbit skin under his hand heavily, and Fang Susu poked his head out of the gap,
"Uncle Li!"
Li Da patted her head,
"Don't worry, the people are gone!"
"Be careful! Those people are from outside the territory, and they are the most vicious and vicious, so be careful! ”
Li Da nodded,
"Don't worry! Little girl, we have seen a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains! ”
This turned around and went back to arrange for people to sleep by the fire, with the two of them guarding the first half of the night, and his own family and his brother keeping the second half of the night.
But he said that Muhan had taken the men out of that place,
"Boss, isn't that girl in that team?"
They went far this time, went down to the waterfall where the river was gentle, crossed the river and went back up, found the place where Fang Susu fell, and followed the trail all the way to the outside of the small village, all the dogs in the village came out and barked wildly, and some people came out to shout,
"Who are you?"
Muhan stepped forward and answered,
"Our brother was just passing through here......"
While talking, he saw a group of children looking at them from a distance, and he was also sharp-eyed, and he saw a little girl here with a little silver light on her ears, and the style of her mouth changed.
"Passing by here to collect mountain goods and do some small business, I don't know if there are leather goods and medicinal materials to be collected here?"
The man looked them up and down and shook his head,
"It's sold early!"
Mu Khan made a look of disappointment,
"In that case, can you go into the village and ask for a drink?"
The man hesitated for a long time before reluctantly saying,
"Done! Wait here for you. ”
At that moment, he invited them to sit down in the courtyard of the house at the entrance of the village, and called the woman in the house to bring the bowl out, and Mu Khan drank water while staring at the little girl with silver earrings.
I remember that stinky girl seemed to be wearing silver studs on her ears!
Taking advantage of the man's departure and the woman's entry into the room, she touched a bead the size of a finger and thumb from her bosom and came out, beckoning to the little girl, Niu'er hid behind her brothers, looking straight at him with a pair of big eyes, the beads rolled round in the palm of her hand, exuding a warm luster, Mu Khan stretched out her hand,
"Look......
Niu'er looked left and right and finally took a step forward, a pair of eyes only staring at the beads, Mu Khan pulled a smile at her that was more ugly than crying,
"Little girl, you ...... Tell me who gave you this thing in your ear? ”
Niu'er looked down at the beads, and whispered for a while,
"It's my sister!"
Mu Khan Yixi,
"Where's that sister?"
Niu'er looked up at him,
"Gone!"
"Gone? Who are you going with? Where are we going? ”
Niu'er was so frightened by him that she took a step back, went back and grabbed her brother's sleeve tightly, Mu Han hurriedly lowered her voice and asked patiently,
"Where did the sister who gave you the studs go? You said it, and I'll give it to you. ”
Niu'er stared at the bead but still shook her head, the three sons of the Li family saw this situation and hurriedly pulled the girl and ran, Mu Han stepped forward a few steps to catch up and stuffed the bead into Niu'er's hand,
"Little girl, the beads are for you, my sister has gone hunting, I already know!"
The girl pinched the beads and answered,
"Not really! My sister followed my father to sell goods outside the mountain......"
It was too late for the three boys to cover their sister's mouth, and seeing the joy on Mu Han's face, they waved at the people who were sitting and said,
"Let's go! We chase! ”
More than a dozen men threw the water bowl, and immediately carried a knife to follow the rut marks on the road, and the children returned home to tell the story, and when the Li aunt heard it, she was so angry that she almost fainted, and slapped her daughter in the face, and her little face immediately became red and swollen.
"I'll cut you a thousand times, plague! Are you trying to harm your Lao Tzu and a village? ”
Niu'er immediately grinned and cried, and the beads in her hand were also knocked to the ground, and she didn't know where to go!
The Li family's aunt hurriedly pulled the eldest son over,
"Quick! Go to your Uncle An Jiu's house, tell him about this, and see what he can do! ”
The eldest son hurriedly ran out, and came back after a long time.
"Mother, Uncle An Jiu has chased after Daddy and them! Get ahead of those people and tell Daddy about Xin'er! ”
The aunt of the Li family was busy lighting incense and kneeling there,
"Grandpa the mountain god blesses, you can't let those people catch up with Li Da and them!"
It's a pity that although An Jiu is a man in the mountains, his foot strength is also calculated, but he is not as good as the people who practice martial arts from the Wa God Sect.
Mu Han and the others used the excuse to check in the carriage but didn't see Fang Susu, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts,
"There are three forks in this mountain road, each of which has rut marks, is it because we are chasing the fork!"
The mountain road was divided into three places and went in different directions, and since the price of the leather goods in the town below the mountain was lowered, the people of the villages used this road to sell their goods everywhere. The rut marks on the mountain road were messed up, and Namu Khan chased the fork in the road and just chose one to catch up, and he couldn't see Fang Susu in Li Da's car, and couldn't help but be suspicious.
Could it be that we are chasing the wrong one?
