It was almost noon, and Bazhuo asked everyone to rest on the spot and have something to eat. They took out the dried meat and water they had brought with them, sat down on the grass, and began to eat and drink.

Ba Zhuo took a big bite of the jerky, and said to Dashan: "Dashan, good men are all ambitious, have you ever thought about going out of Liujia Village to take a look outside?"

Dashan said: "No, we mountain people think about how to go into the mountains to hunt more prey every day, and we don't think much about the rest. ”

"You have also been to Dongjiaji, you must know that in addition to this Dongjiaji, there is a more prosperous Zhongzhou City, have you ever been to Xifeng Town?"

"No, I just heard Uncle Yan say that he has been to the old man's house. ”

"You also heard just now, Xiao Cai's new knife was bought by him for a hundred taels of gold, but do you know that Xiao Cai used all his savings for five years to buy it, and now that knife is in Xifeng Town. In this Black Cloud Ridge, even if you hunt more prey and sell it to the Dong family, you will only help the Dong family master make money, and you will only get a small part of the salary. If he earns a hundred taels of silver, you can only get a dozen taels. ”

Dashan listened, a little dumbfounded, of course he didn't know, Ba Zhuo's words were actually half-truths, the Dong family warehouse was presided over by Hu Tingdu, and the price for the mountain people in this area was quite fair, compared to most other local forces, the purchase price given by the Dong family was enough to make the life of several nearby villages much more prosperous, like the Jiejia family in Rabbit Lingnan kept the price very low, so that most of the mountain people there lived a life of just having a full stomach. However, a person can earn a hundred taels of gold in five years, which is worth a thousand taels of silver, which is still very surprising to the mountain.

Cai Yuan said further to Dashan: "I'm not bad, in our villa, if you have the ability, as long as you take a big task, you can earn hundreds of taels of silver, like Brother Zanshan, last time he followed a dart, and on the way, he also slaughtered a Jiangyang thief What is the name of it, Brother Zanshan, what is the name of the guy you escorted the Jade Dragon Sword to Xicheng to kill last time, I forgot." ”

Ge Yueran hurriedly said: "I know, I know, it's called the Golden Sword Invincible Yan Feilong!!"

Luo Jiayong smiled: "Lao Cai, what kind of bad memory are you, I can't even remember Yan Feilong, I don't know how you have been mixed up in the past few years." ”

Cai Yuan didn't care and said: "It doesn't matter who he is, he was easily slaughtered by Brother Zanshan anyway, and he is not a very powerful character." ”

He then said to Dashan: "Do you know how much silver Brother Zanshan got that time?" Seeing that Dashan said that he didn't know, he exaggerated and said: "A whole five thousand taels of silver, not counting his original honorarium!" and stretched out five fingers to gestur, his eyes full of envy.

Sima Zanshan said to Dashan: "Dashan, don't listen to him, Cai Yuan, this kid likes to exaggerate." ”

Cai Yuan said to Sima Zanshan: "Brother Zanshan, do you dare to say that you didn't get five thousand taels of silver that time?!"

Sima Zanshan said: "But that's a bounty, don't mess around, don't mislead the mountain." However, Dashan, you can think about it, with your current skills, if you can come to our Feiyun Mountain Villa, it is indeed much better than staying in this mountain, if you have any concerns, you can also say it, and we will see if we can solve it. ”

Bazhuo continued: "Yes, if you have a problem, just say it, and we can try our best to find a way to solve it!"

Dashan looked at the big guys looking at him with an earnest face, and said: "Lord, I don't have anything else to worry about, I just don't have to worry about going to the village, and now that Uncle Yan and Tianxing are not here, I want to discuss with them and Uncle Jiang He before I can reply to you." ”

Dashan didn't have much idea of going to the outside world to see, but he just felt that if he could really make a lot of money by going outside, then fortunately there would be Brother Dayong and they wouldn't be far behind, and then the people in the village would no longer have to go into the mountains all day to hunt and pick wild fruits and herbs, and risk their lives.
