Chapter 459: Evil Intentions
Guo Dagui was stunned, he didn't expect a boy from a mountain village to be so knowledgeable?
Li Feibai was also quite surprised.
Hearing Zou Zhong's words, Zou Bo was stunned on the spot, stunned.
"That's all you say...... These rags are worth ten thousand dollars?" He speaks a little unpleasantly.
Uncle Zou's eyes lit up, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed.
It's just that the night is dark, and Li Feibai didn't see it.
"These are all fine fabrics, which may not be sold for so much money in Weiguo, but Zhuguo lacks textile technology, and these goods can be sold for tens of thousands of gold when they return to Zhuguo." Zou Zhong replied.
"Little brother, I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable." Guo Dagui praised.
Then, a man who had just checked the goods walked up to Zou Bo and whispered a few words.
Immediately after, Zou Bo's eyes immediately searched the crowd, and finally landed on Sun Linghe.
Zou Zhong, who was close, clearly saw a fire in his eyes.
He immediately stood in front of Uncle Zou, and Zou Mei said, "Brother."
Then she shook her head at him.
Zou Bo pushed him away, and said in a much softened tone: "You're right, since they are not Zhuguo spies, nor are they bandits, and they carry such valuable goods with them, if they encounter them, wouldn't we have harmed their lives."
"Brother, did you promise to let them spend the night?" Zou Zhong was very relieved.
"It's okay to stay overnight, but you can't enter the village."
Zou Bo stepped forward and said to a row of dilapidated houses at the entrance of the village, "You will stay there at night."
Looking around, Li Feibai saw that although the house was simple, it was all made of earth and stone, and it was extremely strong, but the roof was randomly paved with some straw, and a few holes were visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, it didn't rain at this time, so it would be okay to fall overnight.
"Little brother is righteous, and the old man is grateful." Guo Dagui hurriedly replied.
"Alright, you take them to rest, let's go back to the village first." Zou Bo said to Zou Zhong.
After speaking, he took a group of young people into Zoujia Village, leaving Zou Zhong alone.
Zou Zhong seemed to have long been used to it, he smiled slightly, and stepped forward to Li Feibai and the others, "Everyone, please come with me."
On the way, the two sides reported each other's surnames.
After arriving at the row of houses, Zou Zhong had an apologetic look on his face: "Master Li, Master Guo, our village lives by hunting, and this house was built to hold the remaining prey, but now it ......."
He wanted to speak again and again, then sighed and waved his hand, "It's okay not to mention it, it's just that I have wronged you."
Holding the corners of his mouth and smiling, Li Feibai replied: "I think it is very good, this house is solid, although there is some wind leakage, but there is no rain, it is enough to live overnight."
"Brother Zou, we didn't mention that we would rest here for the night, you can take the initiative to help us, and I am very grateful."
As he spoke, Guo Dagui took out a hundred taels of silver ticket from his arms and stuffed it into Zou Zhong's hand.
Zou Zhong looked stunned and immediately pushed the silver ticket back.
"Master Guo misunderstood, I helped you, not for money."
Li Feibai saw that he looked sincere, not like pretending.
"Brother Zou listened to the old man's words, this money is not for you, but we hundreds of people are running all the way, and we are a little hungry and thirsty, so please invite the little brother into the village and prepare some food for us." Guo Dagui stuffed the silver ticket into Zou Zhong's hand again.
Holding the silver ticket, Zou Zhong looked embarrassed.
"Don't hide it from the masters, there are no mountain treasures in the village now, only some porridge and wild vegetables."
He took the hundred taels and thought that what Guo Dagui wanted was some mountain delicacies and game that they went up to the mountains to hunt.
"Just clear the porridge and fill your stomach." Guo Dagui replied with a smile.
Zou Zhong stood up and arched his hand, "In this case, I will prepare immediately, but I won't need this much money."
After he finished speaking, he threw down the silver ticket and turned to leave.
Li Feibai grabbed him and said with a smile: "Brother Zou, we are foot merchants when we go out, and we don't eat the food that comes from us, this is a rule, and we can't break it."
He picked up the silver ticket on the ground and stuffed it into Zou Zhong's hand.
Hearing this, Zou Zhong no longer insisted, and bowed deeply to everyone, his words were a little choked.
"Thank you...... Ladies and gentlemen!"
After he left, Zhao Qiancheng immediately said: "Uncle Zou is not good, everyone be careful."
"Brother Mazi, what do you mean by that?" Guo Dagui was shocked.
"This person has a lot of anger in his eyes, and his speech and demeanor are quite like people in the rivers and lakes, as I expected, he should be on the road."
They didn't know Zhao Qiancheng's true identity, and naturally they couldn't feel the weight of this sentence.
The Lord of the Thousand Cities Pavilion said that Uncle Zou was a person in the rivers and lakes, so he must be eight or nine without leaving ten.
"Not bad." Li Feibai also immediately spoke: "Why did you suddenly change your attitude and let us spend the night?"
After pondering for a moment, Guo Dagui replied, "He heard Zou Zhong say that our goods are worth ten thousand gold, and then he changed his mind, presumably he thinks that we are giants and wants to get some benefits from me."
"Master Guo, I know you have a good heart, but not everyone is like this." Li Feibai refuted his point of view, and then said what he thought: "I think that Zou Bo wants to make money and kill him."
"Exactly." Jia Ping also stood up and said, "I noticed that after he heard the value of these goods, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and they should have found out that my wife is a woman disguised as a man, and Zou Bo's eyes kept rolling on her, Zou Bo not only wants to make money, but also to make pictures."
"What...... What?"
Even after ups and downs, Guo Dagui encountered a real murderer for the first time, and he couldn't help but panic at this time.
"Brother Li, what should we do?" He asked in a panic.
"I'm here, what are you afraid of?" Zhao Qiancheng smiled disdainfully.
"I look at this group of people, all of them are good hunters, I'm afraid they are extraordinary, why don't we leave quickly?" Guo Dagui is still cautious.
As a businessman, he doesn't want to have a conflict unless he has to do anything.
"Don't worry, Master Guo, they won't succeed." Li Feibai comforted him.
"What's more, if we leave like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find someone to take us back to Zhuguo."
"However, they have clearly rejected us, and even Zou Zhong said that he would not dare to take us back to Zhuguo." Guo Dagui spoke.
"That's good news for us." Li Feibai pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"Good news?"
"Well, he didn't say he didn't dare, but he didn't say he didn't know the way." Li Fei was a little whiter.
Guo Dagui suddenly came to his senses: "Little Brother Li, you mean that they do know the way back to Zhuguo from the mountains?"
"Exactly."
"This Zou family village should all rely on hunting for a living, which is the most in line with our conditions. When we leave here, where are we going to find someone to take us back to Zhuguo?" Jia Ping also echoed his words.
"But this Uncle Zou has already acted ill towards us."
"Don't mean it, I don't know how to let them lead the way?" Li Feibai smiled mysteriously.
