Chapter 130: Counting is Counting

The men who sold pears sat down in the shade at the entrance of the forest, keeping a distance of ten zhang from the royal caravan.

"Oh, fortunately, I brought a cart of pears, otherwise I would have died of thirst on the road."

The men took out the green pears from the donkey cart and took a bite of them, and the juice filled their mouths.

The weather is already hot, how can sweet and delicious pears not be greedy?

After drinking some water, the sergeant, who couldn't help but be thirsty, spontaneously took out copper coins and wanted to go up and buy them.

Liu Wei stopped them and said: "The darts are outside, and the water must be tested, this pear is not clear, so don't eat it." ”

The sergeant complained, "Liu Darttou, you're too cautious, aren't you?" You see that they eat so happily, how can there be a problem? ”

The man who sold pears was not happy when he heard the news, "Ladies and gentlemen, my big fragrant pears have just been picked from the tree, how can you say that they are not clear?" ”

Another man said: "If you don't say this, we still want to take a few to honor you, how much money do you give now, we won't sell it, so you don't have to eat a bad stomach to find us." ”

Liu Wei didn't pay attention to the gossip, took off his water bag and threw it to the sergeant in front of him: "Brothers, it's not that you are not allowed to eat pears, but when you go out, it is better to be careful, if there is a slight difference in this batch of goods, we don't want to live...... If there is no water, find someone else to even, and after the rest of the sun, we will go down the mountain. ”

The sergeants were not easy to talk about, and sat back in place, feeling a little depressed.

Rested for about a quarter of an hour.

Suddenly, there was a shouting from the hillside:

"Wine! Crisp and sweet mash! ”

But after a while, I saw two men with straw hats, pushing a donkey cart up the hill, loaded with four large wooden barrels, and a cool breeze blew at the right time, and the aroma of wine filled the whole forest, and everyone swallowed their saliva directly.

"Stop!" Liu Wei took the lead and stepped forward to stop the donkey cart.

"Heroes spare their lives! My brothers and I only make a living by selling some thin wine, and we don't have any extra money for you. The wine man hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Liu Wei sneered lightly, "Does Lao Tzu look like a bandit like that?" ”

"You're not a bandit, why are you carrying a knife?" The wine man was puzzled.

"You can see clearly, I'm a bodyguard, and there's a caravan ahead!" Liu Wei sighed and put the scabbard on the shoulder of the wine man: "I, Liu Wei, have been walking darts for more than ten years, and I have seen many bandits who pretend to be business and wine dealers, and they take sweat medicine in wine and food, and then kill people and goods!" ”

"Darthead, you have to speak with your conscience, my Zhang brother, I have been selling wine in Zhangjia Village for nearly ten years, and I have never been regarded as a bandit!"

"If you weren't a bandit, why did you sell wine on this hot day when we passed by?" Liu Wei asked.

"Hey! You dart man is so unreasonable! The wine man straightened up and became angry, "You have to worry that there is sweat medicine in this wine, if you don't buy it, why do you have to make excuses?" ”

"I cut you-"

"Wait."

Song Che stopped Liu Wei and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the road is facing the sky, go to one side, Liu Dart head and don't be embarrassed, let them enter the forest." ”

Only then did Liu Wei put away his knife and gave way.

The Zhang brothers were pushing the donkey cart and were about to pass through the jungle, when suddenly, the man who sold pears stopped them, "Hey, two fellows, we smell the aroma of your wine from afar, hurry up and sell a bucket to quench our thirst and cool off." ”

Zhang Dalang waved his hand, "Don't sell!" Don't sell! I'm going to sell this wine in the county! Sell it to the merchants on the way, lest you be numb! ”

The pear seller stopped the donkey cart and said loudly: "Don't misunderstand, fellow villagers, we are fruit farmers selling pears in Wangjia Village, and we are not in the same group as them, even if you have sweat medicine in this wine, we are not afraid, anyway, it is only a few carts of pears, you want to rob it." ”

Zhang Dalang hesitated for a moment before he said: "Okay, seeing that you are so sincere, and you are fellow villagers, I will open a piece today, and half a dollar is enough." ”

The pear-selling men quickly scraped together enough money, and took out some pears to give to the Zhang brothers, and the two groups of people sat in the shade of the tree, eating fragrant pears and drinking wine at the same time.

The sergeants were so hungry that their saliva was about to flow out.

The sergeants knew that the dart head would not let go, so three or five people came to Song Che and pleaded:

"Aunt Song, it's not that we're greedy, it's that the weather is too hot, you are a golden body, it's easy to ride in a carriage, but it's us who push the cart to make efforts, who is not greedy for a sip of wine?"

"Yes, yes, look at them, they ate pears and drank wine, where is there any sweat medicine?"

Not only them, all the sergeants looked at the wine barrel greedily, and even Xu Xiao on the side couldn't help but swallow several times of saliva.

Song Che smiled: "Okay, I don't think there is a big problem with this wine, and let me go up and buy it and share it for everyone to drink." ”

After that, he walked over with Xu Xiao and clarified his willingness to buy wine.

Who knew that Zhang Dalang refused: "Don't sell it!" Don't sell! I have sweat medicine in this wine, so that I will not be numb to you. ”

Song Che said with a smile: "Fellow, it's just a bit heavier, you see, how about I spend twenty taels of silver to buy the remaining three barrels of wine with this donkey cart?" ”

The Zhang brothers are still hesitating. The pear merchant on the side persuaded: "How much is a donkey worth, fellow, you have made a lot of money, the military masters are escorting baggage, and it is understandable that they are more vigilant." ”

Zhang was relieved, "That's it, look at your appearance, you are still a polite person, so I will sell the whole car to you." ”

Song Che took out thirty taels of silver, handed it to the Zhang brothers, turned around and asked the man who sold pears: "I don't know fellow countryman, how do you sell your pears?" I have a lot of brothers behind me, and it is when it comes to selling me the car. ”

The man who sold pears said: "Look at this official, he is a cheerful person, then our brothers will not bargain with you, a cart of pears will cost three times." ”

"Okay, then how about I give you a hundred taels of silver and sell me all the seven carts of fragrant pears and the donkey carts?" Song Che said, taking out two large ingots from his sleeve.

"This ...... If an official wants a pear, he can buy a pear, why do he even buy a car? The pear seller stared intently at the ingots, but hesitated.

Song Che said with a smile: "There are so many pears, I am very tired to hold them, and I bought them with the car, so I have to save a lot of effort, and what I have is silver." ”

"In that case, let's sell it to the officials." The man snatched the silver taels from Song Che's hands.

"Brothers, come and move the pears!" Song Che greeted, got on the donkey cart loaded with wine, and hurried slowly down the mountain.

The sergeants hurriedly came over and separated, more than 200 people, gnawing one, hugging one, carrying two, and a few carts of pears soon went to most of them.

The sergeant who was hungry for wine surrounded Song Che, "Aunt Song, what are you doing in a hurry, quickly move the wine barrel down and eat with us." ”

Song Che not only did not stop, but instead raised the whip to drive the donkey, sped up a little speed, and said with a smile: "Brothers, it will be downhill in a while, the carriage is too heavy, and it is very dangerous to drink and drive, so I will rush this wine down the hill first, and when you go down the mountain, it is not too late to eat it to quench your thirst." ”

It was only half an hour to go down the mountain, anyway, the wine had been bought, and the sergeants didn't say anything, and now the sun was a little overcast, and it was time to set off.

The sergeants went their own way, pushing the carriage and fragrant pears, and quickly followed Song Che who was in the lead.

The faces of the pear sellers and wine sellers were a little tense.

Song Che glanced at those men, and smiled coldly in his heart, Water Margin and the Three Kingdoms, he hasn't seen it ten times and eight times, how dare he carve insects and make axes?

The wine was driven to the bottom of the mountain, one was to distance one, and the other was to ask the sergeants to "look at the plum to quench their thirst" to speed up their pace, and the reason why the wine and pears were bought together with the donkey cart was also to oppose the customer, if they were really the fruit farmers in the township, the goods were emptied and sold, and they should naturally go home, if they followed, then nine times out of ten they were bandits dressed in disguise.

The donkey cart was light and fast, Song Che quickly opened the caravan, and Xu Xiao quickly followed the donkey cart, "Brother Song, do you think you can eat this wine?" ”

Song Che smiled: "Isn't the wine behind you?" Don't you know if you play a corner and try it? ”

Xu Xiao said: "Although I really want to taste it, I always feel that if you want us to taste it, you don't have to deliberately find an excuse to pull it down the mountain." ”

"Most of this wine has sweat medicine, if you really eat it, our goods will be lost."

"Huh?" Xu Xiaoxian exclaimed, and then wondered: "But I just saw that group of fruit farmers, who have eaten well and haven't fallen, how can there be sweat medicine?" ”

Song Che said: "There are four barrels of wine in this car, and they only ate one of them, so how dare they conclude that the other three barrels have not been drugged?" ”

Xu Xiao said: "If I eat it, I must ask the man who sells wine to try it first to see if he can't pour it." ”

"He can put poison in a scoop, or he can set up a trap in the barrel, and if it were me, I would have a hundred ways to put the sweat medicine in without me knowing,"

Song Che said again: "From the fruit farmer up the mountain, I saw the clue, they first deliberately pretended to be weak, let us relax our guard, and then ate pears in front of us to stimulate our craving, and then sent wine, and used Liu Dart's head as a pedal to make the 'want to capture the old indulgence' plan, so that the time, place, and people are all occupied by them, and these people can be said to be attacking the heart step by step." ”

"It's just that Brother Song is here, otherwise we will really have to hate them for eternity," Xu Xiao's eyes were ruthless, and he glared back at Shangang: "Since Brother Song has seen through their tricks, why don't you go up and kill them now?" ”

Song Che said: "I'm not sure that they are gangsters now, if they kill the wrong person, wouldn't they really kill more than a dozen innocent people?"

I deliberately put down my words, saying that we would eat this wine at the foot of the mountain, and if they were really bandits, they would come down the mountain to find us;

Besides, you must know that there are fifty carts of our goods, and they will certainly not be able to move them away, so I conclude that there must still be their accomplices hiding somewhere in this Black Wind Gang, and they may be watching us somewhere. ”

Xu Xiao suddenly said, "I see...... Then we will arrive at the foot of the mountain, pretend to be numb, and then wait for the rabbit, wait for the bandits to come out, and kill him by surprise! ”

"Xu Dutou is not only a martial artist."

"It's rare to be smart to work with Brother Song."

"It's called 'counting what you count.'"
