Chapter 139: Tea Shed

The village of Scarface is located in a valley half a day's walk from the avenue, and the village is close to a stream for easy irrigation.

Lu Xu and the others stopped by the side of the road and asked a few of them to go back and meet their families.

Four or five hundred people camped on the roadside, and in an instant the shade of the trees on the roadside occupied a large area.

The sun is scorching at noon in summer, but fortunately, the terrain in Dengzhou is high and the wind is cool, so that people will not be unbearably hot.

One person was left in one car to guard, while others went to the neighborhood to collect firewood and prepare a fire for cooking.

Those who have traveled to Shuozhou with Lu Qing before, this trip can be described as enjoyable.

Last time, they got up early and greedy for darkness, and they didn't stop all the way, not to mention cooking, and even nibbling on a cake were eating while walking, which was completely a march.

Lu Xu can live in a store, but he can't live in a store and spend money to spend the night, and he really has no villages and towns to borrow, so he set up his own tent.

Sometimes they eat on the road at noon, and they definitely cook in the morning and evening, and they guarantee two hot meals a day.

Lu Xu is generous in eating, and many people eat better on the way than at home.

They are already quite proficient in lighting a fire and cooking, and they don't need Lu Xu's arrangement, they are already collecting firewood when they should be collecting firewood, and they are already collecting water.

Lu Xu took the fan and looked around, and there was no trace of anyone in all directions.

Obviously guarding a great avenue, it is unimaginable to be desolate like this in Guanyang.

Lu Xu found a tree that was easy to climb and looked, but he still couldn't see any villages and towns standing on the tree.

Lu Xu looked around, jumped down from the tree, and asked Lu Qing: "Second uncle, are there no villages and shops on the roadside in other places?" ”

Lu Qing: "Very few. There are few people in Shuozhou, and there are few merchants coming and going, and there are not many people walking on such roads in the past. ”

Lu Xu thought about it, too. Living on the side of the road to recruit soldiers is definitely indispensable, in case the barbarians break through the defense line and enter Shuozhou, the people who live on the side of the road must bear the brunt.

Lu Qing continued: "There are few people on the side of Dengzhou Road, and because it is far away from the water, it is inconvenient to farm. ”

Lu Xu was stunned.

Sure enough, the people in their team who went to fetch water walked for a long time, and it was the local bandits who led them to find the stream along the field.

Lu Xu pondered the necessity of building a tea shed here.

Sure enough, before they had boiled the water, a passer-by came over and asked if they could beg for water.

Lu Xu listened to the accent a little familiar, and after asking, he learned that this family was a military family from Tonghe County, Longxing.

They are a family of eight, old and young, the youngest child is only eight or nine years old, sitting on a board car, and he is also dusty.

Lu Xu asked someone to fill them with water and asked about what they had seen on the road.

"It's not difficult to find water in front, I don't know how to get to this side of the water is not easy to find, you have to go to the side of the mountain to find, looking for water is delayed for half a day, the car can't push over, I don't know when it will arrive."

"Tea shed? There are no tea sheds, and we don't even see a few villages on the road, so if we don't meet a few patrolling soldiers in a day and a half, how dare we continue to walk. ”

"Bandits? We didn't meet each other, but I heard that someone had met them before, and it was scary. ”

"If it weren't for the disaster at home, who wouldn't want to come out if they couldn't survive?"

……

They also asked where Lu Xu was going and if he could follow Lu Xu's caravan.

Lu Xu said: "Of course you can, but I may have to stop here for a day." ”

"Here?" This family was very surprised, what are you doing here if you don't have a store in front of the village or behind it?

Lu Xu: "I want to build a tea shed here." ”

The people who passed the river were surprised.

Lu Xu: "In the future, I often walk on this road, and it is more convenient to have a place to rest." ”

Tonghe people were shocked inexplicably.

Is this the Grand Caravan?

In order to have a place to rest, you have to build a tea shed!

If they knew that Lu Xu had ten taels of silver in cash, they would definitely drop their jaws.

Originally, Lu Xu wanted to wait until he finished this trip to make some money, but now, since he is not the only caravan on the road, the military households traveling north are in demand right now, and Scarface is in this village, and the time and place are favorable, so what is there to hesitate?

Anyway, there are mountains nearby, there is no shortage of stones or trees, and there are many of them, so it is naturally not a problem to delay two days to build a tea shed.

As for what the locals were worried about before, it is good to say that if something unexpected happens, just throw down the tea shed and run.

If there is a foreign enemy one day, it is a big deal to burn down the tea shed with a fire.

However, with Daqi's current situation, there will be no more wars in at least three or five years.

Lu Xu thought about it, so he went to Liang Shanbao first and discussed with him that he wanted to stay for a day or two.

Liang Shanbao disagreed, although Qiu Hu was in a hurry, summer was always better than winter, and he would never be hungry when he went out to hunt and dig wild vegetables.

Liang Shanbao had no opinion, so he went to Chen Lian to talk.

Those bandits are under Chen Lian's control, and he wants to leave Scarface and them to run the tea shed, so Chen Lian agrees.

Chen was stupid even after listening to his plan.

"Build a tea shed here? You're not afraid that they'll run away? ”

Lu Xu was inexplicable: "Isn't their house here, where are they going?" Besides, I will pay for it, everyone will contribute, find him a profitable livelihood, what will he run? It's just that he really wants to run, isn't there still you? You patrol the avenue every day, and you can't see a tea shed? ”

Chen Lian: "......"

He was stunned by Lu Xu's series of questions.

Chen Lian asked: "Are you not afraid that he will not give you the money he makes?" ”

Lu Xu came again: "Aren't you there, you ......"

Chen Lian: "Okay, okay, anyway, you pay the money, you do whatever." ”

Lu Xu smiled and flattered: "The patrol brothers also want to eat and drink, let's build a tea shed, and they can come in and hide when it is windy and rainy, right?" ”

Chen Lian: "......"

How can this kid change his face faster than flipping a book?

Lu Xu was kind and seductive, and all of them were for Chen Lian's plan: "They are all their own people, even if the people who are familiar with Brother Chen come, our tea shed will not charge money!" ”

Chen Lian is no matter how stupid he is, he understands it, Lu Xu's tea shed has no shadow and he starts to find a relationship with himself, if the patrolmen come to him every day to eat and drink, will others dare to come to find trouble?

However, knowing that Lu Xu wanted to fake the tiger, he was really a little moved.

He was born in the barracks, so he naturally knew the hard work of patrolling, especially in this section of Dengzhou, he was tired of running with more water, and he was thirsty for a day without water, let alone eating.

Chen Lian: "You really don't want money? ”

Lu Xu: "As long as the entire barracks don't come, they will rush to eat my ......"

Chen Lian: "That's not possible, we will pay for the meal, you just need to have water in the summer and fire in the winter." ”

What's wrong with that?

He can eat at just a cost price.

Lu Xu happily ran to call someone to cut down the tree.

With Chen Lian there, Lu Xu only left a few dozen people to guard the car, took tools and ran to the nearby forest to cut trees and move stones, preparing to set up the tea shed tomorrow.

When Scarface and his family said goodbye and returned to the side of the road, the beams and pillars were all erected.

Scarface, etc.: "......"

Lu Xu: "Just in time!" How about our tea shed? ”

Scarface was at a loss: "Tea shed? ”

Lu Xu stood in the middle, looking at the frame house with no roof, air leakage on all sides, and the smell of fresh tree sap and sap proudly: "Oh! From now on, you will be the owner of the tea shed. ”

Scarface: "...... What? ”

Lu Xu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "I heard that you used to be a leader in charge, and you must have business experience, you look at this tea shed, it's a little rough, and the framework is still very good." ”

He pointed around, "It's warm now, you don't need to repair the wall first, you can find someone to build the roof first, so that it won't rain." Oh, and the floors have to be repaired, the trees aren't very level......"

As he spoke, he almost tripped over the uncut roots.

Scarface: "Give me a tube?" ”

Lu Xu: "Isn't your home nearby?!" ”

Scarface: "I don't have to go to Yonggu County with you?" ”

Lu Xu: "You can take a few of them to open a tea shed here." ”

Scarface: "......"

A little happy, a little embarrassed, a little complicated.

How could he be like a dream?

He looked back at the fellow villagers who had just cried and their eyes were still red, and everyone was at a loss.
