Lu Xu slandered, are you mountain people all the teeth and mouths, what do you eat? No wonder the physical strength is so good.

After the meal, the relationship between the two sides eased, and the children of the village also ran out to circle the mules, and some children dragged the grass to feed the mules, and the grass was bitten by the mules, and they were so frightened that they screamed, jumped and laughed.

When the rain stopped, they lifted the rain cloth and shook the water, and when the mountain people saw that they had oil, salt, cloth and various daily necessities on their cars, they asked them if they could sell them.

If it was on flat ground, Lu Xu would probably find it troublesome to load and unload trucks back and forth, but in such a mountain, he also knew that it was not easy for them to go down the mountain, and some people had never even been to the county seat once in their lives, and they had never seen a bright canvas, and adults and children were dusty.

Lu Xu smiled: "Sell, whoever has jerky or something else, you can change it." ”

Thirty households, the whole village can't buy much, but there are so many cars for them to choose from, the whole village is like a New Year.

They are far away from the town, and their town is far away from Chongning County, and the things sold in the town are not as complete as the things that Lu Xu brought, and the women who were originally embarrassed to come out came out to pick up needles and threads, and exchanged the plain linen and Lu Xu they weaved for flower cloth, and exchanged the salted meat and dried meat made at home and Lu Xu for wheat for rice and sugar.

Anyway, he couldn't leave for a while, and Lu Xu didn't bother to change it with them, not only that, Lu Xu also changed a lot of herbs.

"You go to the county seat to find a pharmacy and sell it, you won't lose money." The village was exchanging medicine for a jar of salt for him, afraid that Lu Xu would feel a loss, so he told Lu Xu what kind of medicine this was and what kind of grass it was.

How can Lu Xu remember?

I've never heard of it at all.

The other party just mixed the grass and came in, and he didn't know.

However, this Li Zheng is also reliable and kind, and Bacheng will not lie to him, Lu Xu didn't remember it carefully, wrapped it in oil paper, and received it in the car.

When he came out of Guanyang, he also bought a lot of medicinal herbs, and Liang Shanbao said that there was a shortage of medicine in the north, so he would give them to the military doctor to see if he could use them.

The next day, when they returned the way they came, the village sent two young men to show them the way and lead them to the path down the hill.

The mountain folk who led the way pointed the way succinctly: "You follow this path, and when you encounter a fork in the road, go north, don't need to go up the mountain, keep walking, keep walking, and then go out." ”

Lu Xu looked at the trail in front of him that was nothing but branches and branches, and he couldn't see the difference between a penny and elsewhere, and said confusedly: "Are you sure it's this road, not that?" ”

The mountain people were sure: "That can't get out, go there farther and farther." ”

Lu Xu: "Can I still find the right way next time?" ”

Mountain people: "It's easy to recognize, you remember that mountain, shaped like a monkey holding a peach." ”

Lu Xu: "That?" ”

Mountain people: "Yes, yes, that's it, as soon as I saw that monkey mountain, I found my way." ”

Lu Xu: "......"

Which one is that? It's not like a monkey hugging a peach!

Isn't this more difficult than looking at the stars and making up the constellations?

He is still self-reliant, let go of his eyes and brains, and do something simple and rude.

Lu Xu asked someone to cut down the branches, took a hammer and made a signpost on the tree.

He took out the inkstone and ink strip from his baggage, began to grind the ink, and wrote "to the direction of Chongning County" on the street sign.

After writing, he also asked people to pick up stones together, and arranged an arrow shape with neat small stones, "Okay, so you can recognize it." ”

The mountaineer who can tell the direction by looking at the branches: "......"

Okay, you people have a lot of tricks.

Chapter 132: Robbery

They walked the trail for three days before coming out of the valley.

The path is narrow, and in some places where it is impossible to pass the car, they have to carry stones from the side to dig the earth to pad the road, or cut down the small trees on the side of the road.

Lu Xu remembered that when he first walked the mountain road to Guanyang to sell snails by himself, he also moved stones to pave the road from time to time, and before going out, the fourth uncle was already planning to repair the old mountain road, even if it could only be through a wheelbarrow, and when the persimmons, walnuts and chestnuts were ripe in autumn, they could also be transported to the county seat to sell them.

Coming out of the mountain road, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but be surprised.

Although it was an extra day than planned, the trail was smooth and easy to walk, and they walked the whole way, and there was no loss of goods, and it would never have been so smooth if they had taken the mountain road.

This time, without Lu Xu's reminder, Luo Chun took people to cut down trees and find stones to make road signs.

After this journey, it will be their way to make a living, and it would be funny if they didn't recognize it.

After walking a short distance, they came across a farmland.

The villagers were weeding in the fields and were amazed to see such a large number of people emerging from the mountains.

Lu Xu and Luo Chun went over to ask for directions, and then asked them where the village was and if they could ask for some water to drink.

There are three villages nearby, and they are connected together, and they are a large village, and many people have never heard of them when they came from Guanyang.

Seeing their hot and stuffy appearance, he showed them the way to a small river nearby.

Lu Xu and the others went to the river to wash in three waves, and then went to the village to buy food.

Seeing that it was about to be noon, many people in the village were cooking, so Lu Xu was led over and bought all the mixed noodles, steamed buns, noodles and so on.

I saw that he gave money and was kind, and other people said that they could make it for them.

Anyway, every household has steamed buns, heat them up, or make noodles, it's very fast.

Of course, Lu Xu, who can eat freshly made, parked his things next to the car, and let those who have finished washing come over to eat first.

The people in the village moved the table from their homes and put it at the entrance of the village, so they did not need to enter the village, they just rested and ate at the entrance of the village.

It may be that there are many people in the village, and the villagers here do not reject them as outsiders very much, and they are very curious to ask them how they got out of the mountains.

Lu Xu said as he ate that through the reaction of the villagers, he was very suspicious that these people thought that Guanyang was a town in the south of Chongning County.

Lu Xu was curious: "You haven't been to the south?" ”

The villagers shook their heads: "There are mountains in the south, and there are tigers in the mountains, so we won't go." ”

Lu Xu: "Then where do you all go to buy things?" County seat? ”

The villagers laughed: "The county seat is still far away, go north from us, walk for half a day to Nankou Town, go to the town to buy!" Are you going to the county to sell things? ”

Lu Xu: "Let's go to Shuozhou to sell." ”

Villager: "That's far away! ”

Lu Xu smiled, he hadn't seen such a friendly and talkative person for a long time, and he couldn't help but chat with the other party for a while.

After all the men and horses had washed up and eaten, they rested for a while, planning to go to Nankou Town for the night.

The talkative young man also showed them where to eat cheaply.

Lu Xu said casually: "Since you want to do business, it is better to set up a tea stall at the entrance of the village in the future, and I won't tell you, I am here to open the road this time, and when the route is set, we will often pass by here in the future, we come from the mountains, just pass through your village, stop to rest, eat something, it is also a small business." ”

Young man: "Are you still here?" ”

Lu Xu: "We have to go back!" ”

Young man: "Okay, if you come back, I'll set up a tea stall!" ”

It's not bad to be able to make a meal like you do today.

After resting, Lu Xu and the others set off to Nankou Town, all the hotels in the town were not enough for them to live in, and finally Xiao Er introduced them to the houses of two relatives, and the family members temporarily packed up the house for them to borrow.

Fortunately, there is no need to cover the quilt in the summer, and you can stay overnight with a bed.

After a night's rest, Lu Xu drew a new map in a small notebook, wrote new annotations, got up early to eat a bowl of hot mixed noodle soup, and set off northward in good spirits.

After walking for two more days, they finally arrived at the main road leading to Chongning County, and they could see the city wall of Chongning in the distance.

Chongning County is the largest county in the entire Longxing County and the poorest county.

In the past, it was also a border, and the former dynasty took Shuozhou, redivided the county, and Chongning was returned to Longxing County.

The county seat is not large, the city wall is high and thick, and it is located on the mountainside, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Entering the city from the south gate, the checkpoint was almost a decoration, and the officers and soldiers casually looked at the documents handed over by Lu Xu, and they were let into the city without counting the amount of money they asked for to enter the city.

Lu Xu pretended that he was a semi-official businessman, and before leaving, the county lieutenant Luo also handed over the news to Chongning County, and also told Lu Xu that the Chongning County Commander had some friendship with their county order, and if he arrived in Chongning, it was best to go over to visit.

Lu Xu settled the people to eat and rest, and then he and Luo Chun went to the county government with gifts to report.

Coincidentally, the county order went to inspect below, Lu Xu inquired, and learned that the county order might not be back for three or five days.

If he waited for a day, Lu Xu would be a little entangled in three or five days, thought about leaving gifts and letters, and rested in Chongning for a day to continue north.

Maybe it was because the road was too smooth, and Lu Xu had to forget that there was another danger on the road.

When they passed Chongning County and were about to arrive in Shuozhou, they encountered bandits who robbed the road.

They appeared too suddenly, causing Lu Xu to not react for a while, and he was still stunned when he was pulled behind by the second uncle.

He wondered if he had misheard, and puzzled, "What do you say you do?" ”

The other party spoke with an accent that Lu Xu had never heard, and said arrogantly: "Don't talk nonsense, leave the car behind, and everyone will get out!" ”

Lu Xu was speechless, "Big brother, more than a dozen of you robbed more than 200 of us, and it will be very shameless for me to leave the car." ”

The man laughed strangely, "Who told you there were only a dozen of us?" ”

He whistled towards the mountain, and several heads appeared behind the rocks, smiling maliciously at them.

This time, Lu Xu was pulled to the back by Luo Chun and surrounded by them.

Everyone in Lu Xu's convoy exchanged glances at each other, gathered in the middle, protected the goods in the middle, and took out weapons from the bottom of the car in the middle.

When they saw them pull out their knives, they also took out their weapons.

The atmosphere on both sides was tense.

Lu Xu: "I'll pay some tolls, will you let me pass?" ”

The bandit asked, "How much?" ”

Lu Xu: "Ten taels." ”

"Ten taels?" The bandits laughed, "What about those who ask for food?" Your goods are more than ten taels in a truckload! ”

Lu Xu: "We are officials and businessmen who have filed cases in the government, you are not good at selling valuable things, and those who are good at making money are not valuable, and your accent is not like Chongning people, so I don't dare to stay here for too long, so it's better to be good for you, I'm good, everyone's good, it's convenient." ”

The person with a hippie smile heard Lu Xu say that they were not from Chongning, and his face changed suddenly: "How do you know that I am not from Chongning?" ”

Lu Xu said in his heart, isn't this nonsense, he is about to go out of Chongning, and he has never heard this kind of accent.
