The early morning mist covered the entire valley, looming the entire nameless valley, like a fairyland in a novel.

The snow in the sky has gradually stopped, and the snow is gradually melting, but the coldest time is when the snow melts.

In the valley, Chen Lixin and the other four people wrapped in thick cotton jackets and roasted coal stoves in their tents.

Even so, the four of them were shivering from the sudden drop in temperature this morning.

Last night, the winter snow suddenly stopped, and the sun came out in the morning, but the scorching sun had not had time to bring warmth to everyone, and the temperature drop caused by the melting of the snow under the sun gave everyone a note of Ma Wei!

"Gotta gotta got, I said ha...... Lao Chen Ha...... Gotta get it...... This...... The people of the Jiamusi tribe have ...... Ha...... When will it come? ”

Next to the stove, Sun Xingzhou's frozen speech trembled, and the uncontrollable upper and lower teeth collided desperately and quickly as he spoke.

"Sihahu~"

Chen Lixin was also frozen, and couldn't help but gasp for cold air (pure literal), and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and then he trembled: "Yes...... Should...... It should be fast...... Almost there...... ......."

"Damn! Thanks to Lao Tzu who started selling these cotton jackets and coal stoves this year, I am afraid that before the arrival of the Jiamu tribe, Lao Tzu would have frozen to death! ”

On the side, Li Xuanji was also not lightly frozen, everyone else only had a set of padded jackets, last night when the temperature came, he immediately ran to the cargo area, where he wrapped two or three padded jackets, and now he is wrapped like a ball, but he can say a complete word.

Wang Zhilian, the head of the Wang family on the side, was already staring at the coal stove with dull eyes at this time, and his face was a little bruised.

"I ...... I said Brother Li...... You...... Can't you sell us two more sets of padded jackets? ”

Sun Xingzhou complained.

"Not for sale! His grandmother's, these are all good goods for Lao Tzu to make a fortune, it's so cold today, Lao Tzu may be able to make more money with this batch of goods, and he can't sell a set! Li Xuanji categorically rejected Sun Xingzhou's "rude" request.

But in fact, he did it on purpose, deliberately watching these guys get frozen.

Chen Lixin also knew that he still had a grudge against the lack of help from himself and the others, so he didn't even mention it, at least he couldn't freeze to death.

After hearing this, Sun Xingzhou had no choice but to wrap the quilt on his body tighter, and at the same time get closer to the coal furnace.

And over there, Wang Zhilian's whole person was almost attached to the coal stove, if it weren't for Li Xuanji's quick eyes, he was almost hugged by the coal stove.

This good guy was frozen.

As the patriarchs of the four major families in Yunzhou City, when have they suffered this kind of suffering, but in order to make money, they can only do this, but they have secretly made a ruthless heart in their hearts, and when they are in the transaction, the price must be increased by three layers, otherwise they will suffer in vain!

The sudden cooling not only caught Chen Lixin and the others off guard, but Aslan's side was also attacked by the sudden drop in temperature, and four or five people froze to death in the camp overnight.

Early in the morning, Aslan received the news that some of his warriors had frozen to death, and with a gloomy face, he quickly came to the scene with Zaxia, and the five warriors on the ground who were still in good shape last night were curling their bodies like boiled prawns at the moment, and they were frozen hard!

They died with a smile on their faces, Aslan had seen this kind of scene, every year when it snowed on the grassland, there would always be people who were killed by the cold wind in their sleep, and they all died with a smile on their faces.

Those people would say that they felt warm all over their bodies before they died, but in fact their bodies were already stiff.

Such a smile is called the smile of death in the grassland.

When you smile like that, it means that you are about to throw yourself into the arms of death.

"They have returned to the Immortal Heaven, and we should be happy for them, they will no longer have to endure the suffering of this world."

Aslan said the following words with a gloomy face, and everyone around listened quietly, calmly watching the scene in front of them.

For people who grow up in the grassland, this scene in front of them is so ordinary, they will always see this scene every year, whether it is someone else's home, or their own home, everyone can already treat it calmly.

Perhaps, as the Khan said, they couldn't bear the pain of this world anymore, so they returned to the embrace of Immortal Heaven in advance.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next moment, they'll do the same.

So for the grassland people, life and death may be important, but it may not be so important......

It has always been the custom of the prairie to collect the bodies of the five people and bring them with their acquaintances, and these people who bring their bodies back will inherit all the property of the deceased women.

Some people even looked at these people with corpses with envious eyes, and at the same time looked at their familiar companions with some eagerness.

After packing up the camp and enduring the cold and tightly wrapping the sheepskin jacket on his body, the cavalry team of the Jiamu tribe quickly advanced towards its destination.

It is expected that we will be able to reach our destination before the sun is in the middle this morning, and now that the wind and snow have stopped, although it is colder, it is also less difficult to move forward, and we should be able to reach our destination faster.

Thousands of horses marched forward in a majestic manner, leaving only a mess of horseshoe prints behind them.

The sun gradually approached the center, and at the beginning of the time, the four sentinels arranged outside the valley finally came with news that a cavalry outside the valley was rapidly approaching, and it should not be the army of the Great Song Dynasty.

As soon as the four of them heard this, they immediately knew that it was the main lord of the day, and hurriedly ordered their subordinates to get ready, and they also packed up and walked towards the mouth of the valley.

Fortunately, the temperature rose slightly as the sun rose, otherwise it would have taken a lot of courage to get them out of the coal stove.

The cavalry marched very fast, and the four families had just ordered their men to prepare their things to the mouth of the valley, and the cavalry, which was still ten miles away, had already come to the front of the valley.

Herod!

The horse neighed, was stopped by the knight, and the horse's hooves were raised high and stopped in front of the four heads of the family.

The burly Jiamu Aslan turned over and dismounted in three or two steps and walked in front of Chen Lixin and the others, and before he could speak, his eagle-sharp eyes looked around, and his brows suddenly wrinkled deeply!

Chen Lixin saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked:

"Your Excellency is the Khan of the Jiamu Tribe, Aslan Great Khan?"

"It's me!"

Speaking in half-baked official language, Aslan admitted his identity.

The four masters of the four families breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could say anything, Aslan continued to ask in a half-baked official dialect:

"What's going on with you? Didn't you say that you Song people would have a thousand troops before? Why not this time? Or is your army in ambush trying to do something? ”

Since he came here and didn't see half of the people who looked like soldiers, Aslan's heart was in the air, and he didn't hide his nature, so he questioned directly.

Chen Lixin and the four of them looked stunned, but they quickly reacted and looked at the Jiamu cavalry around them who had put their hands on the hilt of the scimitar at their waists, and secretly cursed that barbarians are barbarians, and hurriedly explained, if they don't explain clearly, these barbarians are afraid that they will use knives to cut people!

"Don't get me wrong, Honorable Aslan Khan, we didn't bring troops with us this year.

We think so, after all, we've been trading with you for so long and haven't had any problems, so we think everyone should have some basic trust and don't have to let the army sit every time.

Besides, I believe you have also heard the news, we have recently come to Yunzhou City, a new prince, the fact of the army transfer is too difficult to hide, in order not to cause trouble to attract the attention of the prince, so we did not mobilize the army to escort as usual, and please don't misunderstand the respected Aslan Khan! ”

As for what Chen Lixin said earlier, Aslan didn't believe in half a word, although there have been many transactions, but you haven't traded with my Jiamu tribe every time, we are the first time where the trust comes from.

What he prefers to believe is the latter reason, Zasya has already said before, the Song people have a prince, and these guys dare not move the army out at will as before, so they didn't transfer the army.

Hearing this, Aslan's uneasy heart that had been speculating for the past few days finally relaxed.

It seems that he has thought too much, the Song people do not have any conspiracy, and his transaction should be completed smoothly.

Now that there is no need to worry about security, the next thing to care about is how to use these things in hand to exchange more urgently needed materials for the tribe.

Thinking of this, Aslan began to think.

And Chen Lixin and the others also hurriedly led the cavalry into the valley and came to the open space where the goods were stacked.

"Aslan Khan, you see, this year, compared to previous years, in addition to the fixed tea bricks, salt, iron pots, and cloth, we have also brought some new things.

You see it's this stove, this is called a coal stove, it's coal, it's the black stuff over there, it's a good thing, and you look at these padded jackets on us, it's also a good thing......"
