Chapter 32: The Village
Next, the caravan still moved forward, Zhao Shishan seemed to be a different person, he had a smile on his face, the kind that came from the heart sincerely, not the kind of reluctance in the past, this was also the first time that everyone in the caravan saw it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He found the young man who gave him the potion last night, his name was Meng Ye, he learned from talking with him, the two talked very happily, Zhao Shishan also communicated with the others, put down the shelf, and was quite cordial.
Everyone else was a little flattered, after all, Zhao Shishan used to be the president of Changyun Commercial Bank, even if he lost everything now, and was ordered by Liu Yi to do the lowest work in the caravan, but no one doubted Zhao Shishan's ability, it can be said that he is a very capable person, such a person is naturally not commensurate with them, but he is so close, from the bottom of his heart, he feels that this is a kind of climbing, and he is also happy and proud in his heart.
Seeing that Zhao Shishan was not as cold as he imagined, they also let go, joking with Zhao Shishan, and some people asked him about martial arts, Zhao Shishan's status as a master would not change, and it would be of great help to them if they could get his guidance.
Zhao Shishan was also not stingy, giving them guidance, and these people benefited a lot.
During the lunch break, many people came to eat with Zhao Shishan, and gave Zhao Shishan their best food, these are the meat they prepared in advance, and they are reluctant to eat it, Zhao Shishan refused at first, but he couldn't help it, and Zhao Shishan also ate his best meal in these days.
When the caravan was marching, someone gave his horse to Zhao Shishan, and the caravan keeper could only match the horse when the qualifications and merits were enough, Zhao Shishan obviously did not, no matter what his identity was before, it is the same now, and this practice shows full respect for Zhao Shishan, how long has he not enjoyed this feeling, Zhao Shishan sighed, for the first time realized that only by being kind to people can he live a better life, he feels extremely happy, this is a dawn in this dark day, and his body and mind are comfortable.
At the same time, Zhao Shishan pondered deeply, if he didn't hurt Liu Yi, would he be better off than before? He would receive Liu Yi's friendship, the emperor's reward, wealth and power would all go to another level, which he could not predict, but he could do it, instead of being like now.
With this thought, Zhao Shishan understood what to do, and he talked more harmoniously with his companions, and he liked this feeling very much.
After trying it for the first time, he realized that it was good, that it was exactly what he needed, and that he had never had before, and that he felt he needed it.
It's another experience to be friends with other caregivers, he's made friends before, because he's a businessman, he needs these interactions, but it's not sincere, at least he's scheming, he's got distance, and this time he's genuine, genuinely friendly, and it's a good feeling, especially in the kind of pleasant conversation.
The caravan came to a village, the first place where the caravan had stopped in many days, but it looked a little worse.
The houses in the village were all wooden and dilapidated, and the inhabitants of the village were in rags, and the children who were playing outside ran back in fear when they saw the caravan coming in.
Some adults looked at them and showed fear, some looked nervously to protect the children who had just returned, and some went directly into the house and closed the door.
The caravan passed in front of a woman, who had not yet had time to return home, for the child had just come running and was looking timidly at them in his mother's arms.
Zhao Shishan was riding a horse and saw the little baby, seeing that his face was dirty, his clothes were also very tattered, he sighed a little, got off the horse, and walked in front of the mother and daughter.
"This lady, is he your child?" Zhao Shishan asked the woman with a smile on his face, half-bent over, and gently held the child's shoulder.
The woman was a little timid, tightened her arms around the child, and said in a bad voice: "This adult...... Yes, yes......"
"It seems that I scared you, don't panic, I see that the child has lost some weight, presumably hungry. Zhao Shishan looked a little apologetic, straightened up, and put his hand into his arms.
He took out a paper bag and opened it.
"It's some meat, it's fresh, eat it. Zhao Shishan handed the bag of meat to the woman, looked at the child, and saw that his eyes began to shine, and he was swallowing saliva.
Zhao Shishan's eyes were a little soft, he couldn't help but smile, thought about it, and touched it in his arms again, "This is a few taels of silver, we are a passing caravan, and we plan to spend the night, and we have no intention of disturbing, it is considered a night disturbance fee." ”
The woman didn't dare to take it at first, but after hesitating for a long time, she still took it, and said with some doubt and uneasiness in her eyes: "Thank you, sir." ”
Zhao Shishan smiled, got back on the horse, and continued to move forward.
The woman took the child home, and the child hurriedly said, "Mother, I'm hungry, let's eat the meat that uncle gave." ”
When the woman's husband heard this, he hurriedly came over and asked, "What meat?"
"It's a kind person...... "The woman put the meat in front of her husband, but before she could finish speaking, she was reprimanded by her husband.
"Dare to take anything home, aren't you afraid of poison? It doesn't matter if the medicine dies to you and me, what should I do if the medicine dies?" The husband's eyes were wide open and full of anger, obviously he was not at ease with these things.
"What are you yelling at...... It's not that I haven't thought about these things, what do you want to do with those people who are dressed extraordinary? Do you still need to use poison? One day, you didn't catch a single prey, and I was afraid that the child would be hungry, so I ......" The woman's words softened at the end, and finally she stopped talking, and looked at the bag of meat.
"Alas, we poor people have a cheap life, and if they die, they will die, no one has put so much effort into it, there are always robbers patronizing us these days, not to see that we are poor, I am afraid that we have already looted it, I don't think we are too lazy to let them use the knife. The man shook his head, thinking that he was reckless, and he was a little ashamed of his wife, so he explained it first.
"Dad, that uncle is a good man, and he also gave us some money. The child's eyes looked innocent and reminded the man.
"Really?" the man asked the woman.
"Hmmm......"
Zhao Shishan and the others found a few people in this village to spend the night, and no one dared to let them live, and the people of the caravan consciously obeyed the law, but did not have bad words and behaviors towards them.
At night, the child was in a state of urgency, ran out to pee, and suddenly saw a fire in the woods in the distance.
And he looked around, and saw the place where the horse had been unloaded, and ran toward it.
"Bang bang!"
Xiao'er knocked fiercely on a wooden door and shouted, "Second master, uncle, open the door quickly, there are robbers!"
The old Second Master Sun heard the sound and quickly got up, waking up with everyone in the house.
"It's actually a caravan, hehe, this time it's sent, brothers rush me, the speed must be fast, there may be masters, don't give them a chance, look at the parking place, it should be there!" a big man dismounted at the edge of the woods, looking at the dark village from afar.
By the moonlight, you could see a few parked carriages, and the carriages had not yet been purchased, so the caravan was not guarded.
The big man was extremely fast, and when he stepped forward first, he came to the door where Xiao'er had come, and kicked the door open with a "bang", and flew in, slashing at the wooden bed with a big knife in his hand, and the minions behind him also poured in.
They were about to attack, the big man suddenly attacked, flew up, crashed into the wooden door, the wooden door was broken, but fortunately the big man landed, stopped, but drew two deep marks on the ground, to the outside of the door.
"It's really a master!" the strong man's eyes were cold, looking inside the door!
