The guards guarding the gate of the village flew to the village to report the news, and Gao Kan took An Ruizhi and them into the cottage. A narrow cobblestone road is the main street in the cottage, and the bluestone paving the road has been sunk down by pedestrians. Most of the houses in the village are stilted buildings supported by wooden piles, only a few small two-story buildings made of wooden planks on both sides of the street, and the front of the first floor is all open, and there are shops, taverns, teahouses and other business establishments inside.

The people in the shops and teahouses all looked at them with amazement, three or four ragged men, escorting seven or eight bound men with weapons around their necks, but no one came out to see them.

An Ruizhi and his group had just arrived in the middle of the cottage, and more than a dozen men and women came to them, shouting and running towards Gaokan.

Two middle-aged women took his arm and cried when they saw Gao Kan, wiping their tears and chattering endlessly, and the others also seemed very excited. Seeing this scene, An Ruizhi guessed that it must be Gao Kan's wife, sons and daughters.

Suddenly, An Ruizhi noticed that there was a young woman in the crowd who was very conspicuous, not only was she dressed very fashionably and brightly, giving people the feeling of standing out from the crowd, but her expression was calm and did not look as happy as everyone else. What was strange was that her attention was not on Gao Kan, her eyes swept over An Ruizhi and the three of them from time to time, this woman's abnormal behavior did not escape An Ruizhi's attention.

Gao Kan briefly introduced the people around him to An Ruizhi, An Ruizhi didn't expect that this guy had five wives, and the woman just now was also one of Gao Kan's wives.

Everyone hugged Gao Kan and walked towards the largest teak stilted building at the top of the cottage, and Gao Kan's eldest son accompanied An Ruizhi and them to another stilted building to rest.

Gao Kan's eldest son is called Gao Yuanqu, and he said to An Ruizhi: "Please take a break from the three friends, everyone wash up first, I will arrange for someone to send a few sets of clothes, and my father will personally feast on the friends later." ”

"Thank you, Master Gao, please arrange for someone to imprison those eight captives, they will be of great help to us in the future." An Ruizhi felt that this Gao Gongzi was a very shrewd and capable person, much stronger than his father.

"No problem, I promise I won't let them run away." Gao Yuanqu turned around and left after speaking.

Not long after, two soldiers sent three sets of military uniforms, green ones, without any logos, underpants and shoes. The clothes of the three of them could no longer be worn, and they were torn in many places.

An hour later, Gao Gongzi personally came to invite them, and the stilted building where Gao Kan lived was different from other small buildings, and there were walls built around it, and the precautions were very tight.

After An Ruizhi entered the courtyard, he found that there were three square tables in the courtyard in front of the building in a triangle, and there were already many people waiting for them, one of the tables was sitting on Gao Kan's family, and the other table was sitting on the side of people wearing green uniforms, it seemed that they were all officers under Gao Kan. In fact, these people have already eaten, and the locals are used to having two meals a day, and they are all called by Gao Kan to accompany the guests.

Gao Kan sat at the innermost table, and when he saw An Ruizhi and them walk in, he immediately got up and greeted them. Gao Kan was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, refreshed after washing, his hair was combed back into a big back, and he seemed to have sprayed a lot of hairspray, which was really the same as before.

Gao Kan let An Ruizhi and them sit down at the table, then stood up and praised the courage of the three people present for a while, and finally said loudly: "Mr. An, they have saved my life three times, just like my reborn parents, from now on in Mo Lane Cottage, Mr. An said the same thing as I said, if anyone dares not to listen to Lao Tzu without saying a word, he will be killed......"

After Gao Kan finished speaking, he picked up a bowl of rice wine and said to An Ruizhi: "This is the best rice wine that we have brewed in our cottage, which is used to entertain distinguished guests. After saying that, he drank it all.

An Ruizhi and the three of them also took the bowl and drank it dry in one go, An Ruizhi found that the wine made of glutinous rice was soft and slightly sweet in the mouth, and it was slightly viscous, very refreshing and delicious, without the slightest momentum of liquor, it felt like drinking honey water.

People who drink this wine for the first time are confused by its appearance, in fact it has a lot of stamina, and people who start drinking it in large gulps tend to end up getting drunk, and very deeply.

Gao Kan kept beckoning his family and subordinates to toast the three people, and the three people did not refuse to come, drank happily, and soon became drunk.

An Ruizhi said to Gao Kan with the strength of wine: "Gao ...... Commander Gao, don't forget to promise our brother before you come, if you can't do it, our brother will lift his ass and leave......"

"Haha...... I can't forget, please rest assured, Brother An, tomorrow I will arrange someone to do this, this little money is nothing to me, and I promise you a lot of money for the three of you. Gao Kan waved his arms and said happily, the more An Ruizhi asked for money, the happier he became, because as long as he liked money, he could control them for his own use.

Halfway through the banquet, Gaokan's fifth aunt came over with a wine bowl to toast, and An Ruizhi noticed that she had just changed her clothes, wearing a bright dress, and her posture was charming and charming. From her wandering eyes, An Zhizhi instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this woman, but she couldn't tell why.

Coquettish women all exude that kind of charm from their bones, and their gestures are unconsciously revealed, as long as they are men, they can feel it.

From Gao Kan's expression, it can be seen that he is very fond of this fifth aunt, and praised her business talents, and An Ruizhi only then knew that this fifth aunt is too called Ma Yuan, and she has been running a jewelry store in Mandalay.

Ma Yuan said to An Ruizhi in very standard Mandarin: "Thank you three heroes for saving our old man, I admire the behavior of the heroes, I salute you." ”

An Ruizhi couldn't imagine that he could hear Mandarin in a remote cottage abroad, and he hurriedly said: "We didn't mean to save Commander Gao, it's just that everyone happened to meet together, and the reason why Commander Gao was able to get out was completely because of the commander's good creation, not for other reasons." ”

"Mr. An is really humble, I just have something to ask for, I don't know if Mr. An can agree?" Ma Yuan said with a sad face.

An Ruizhi couldn't guess what Ma Yuan meant, and said with a smile: "We are all wanderers, what can we do to help Mrs. Gao?" ”

"Only three heroes can do this, and no one else can do it." Ma Yuan said resolutely.

"Oh? Please Mrs. Gao to tell me to listen, as long as our brother can help, we will not give up. ”

"I fancy a priceless jade gem in a jade mine, but I can't transport it, because this jade mine is in a very remote deep mountain, and this area is an area with frequent bandit activities, so no one dares to take this job, I wonder if Mr. An can agree to help me escort the jade out?"

An Ruizhi didn't expect Ma Yuan to say such a thing, he thought for a while and said: "Our brother may not be able to help with other things, this matter should be okay, and we will probably rely on this mess in the future, so we have to charge." ”

"This is natural, the value of my piece of jade is 20 million US dollars, and I will pay you 10% of the shipping fee, as long as you can safely deliver the goods to Mandalay 2 million is yours." Ma Yuan said briskly.

"I can't promise Mrs. Gao for sure now, I drank too much wine tonight, and my brain is a little confused, and I will give you an answer after I sober up and understand the details clearly."

"No problem, I can see that Mr. An is a cautious person, which makes me feel more at ease. Come, I'll give Mr. An a glass first, and wish us a successful cooperation......" Ma Yuan finished speaking, picked up the wine bowl and drank it with her face up, no worse than a man.
