Tang Yunxiang and Fu Xiaoyi stayed in a village in the evening. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the village chief's house, the village chief was warmly entertaining Tang Yunxiang and Fu Xiaoyi.

"The village chief. What does your village live on? I don't see any resources around this village. When it came to hunting, I didn't see any prey all the way. Fu Xiaoyi asked the old village chief while picking up rice.

"Heh... Ahem... Hehe" The village chief was holding a cigarette stick and smoking at the cigarette holder, when he heard Fu Xiaoyi's question, he was choked when he wanted to laugh.

"Our village...... You can't guess what we rely on for food!" When the village chief looked at Fu Xiaoyi with her big watery eyes open, looking at him inquisitively, the village chief couldn't help but want to tease the girl in front of him who was about the same age as his granddaughter.

"What! The village chief! Don't bring this! It's still appetizing!" Fu Xiaoyi was about to hear the village chief tell her about the village's means of livelihood, when suddenly the village chief sold it, and Fu Xiaoyi immediately quit.

The village chief also laughed when he looked at Fu Xiaoyi's angry face, and Tang Yunxiang also turned his head, his shoulders trembled, as if he was snickering.

The village chief just wanted to tease Fu Xiaoyi, and after laughing, he told Fu Xiaoyi.

"Miss Fu, you must know that the village generally relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water. The village chief looked at Fu Xiaoyi halfway through speaking, meaning to let her answer.

Fu Xiaoyi was about to hear the idea, but the village chief made a fuss and asked her to answer, but Fu Xiaoyi wanted to know again, otherwise it was like a worm scratching in her heart, itchy!

"Yes, and then?" Fu Xiaoyi reluctantly accepted the village chief's words.

The village chief listened to Fu Xiaoyi's answer and felt very happy, took a puff of cigarette, and took a beautiful puff, as if swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, so unhappy.

Suddenly, the village chief saw that Fu Xiaoyi's face had darkened, and knew that if he didn't say anything more, Fu Xiaoyi might start to turn his face.

"Ahem", the village chief cleared his throat and continued.

"That'...... Our village is backed by mountains, that is, eating mountains. Miss Fu also said just now that there is no prey around our village, and the surrounding towns are not close, so it is not realistic to collect firewood. So what is it?" the village chief said and sold the guanzi again, but as soon as he saw Fu Xiaoyi with a black face, his whole body was excited, and he immediately continued to speak with his own words.

"Hey, hey. That...... I'll tell you directly, our village relies on minerals to make a living. ”

"Minerals?!" Fu Xiaoyi's black face disappeared in an instant, and he turned to the same confusion as Tang Yunxiang.

"Yes. It's minerals!" the village chief said proudly as he looked at the puzzled faces of the two men.

"There is an iron mine near our village, medium in size, but enough to feed our village for decades. ”

"Could it be that your village has dug up the mine and then sold it in the town or city?" Tang Yunxiang asked suspiciously.

"No, no, no. Our village first went to the city and town to make deals with the merchants, and then waited for the caravans to come and trade with us every quarter, so that our village would no longer have to travel to the farther cities. And for the sake of long-term consideration, we also reached a small amount of each transaction, so that the living money is enough, and the mine can be used for a long time. The village chief said proudly.

"I see. Fu Xiaoyi's doubts were relieved, but Fu Xiaoyi looked at the old village chief with admiration and said, "Wow! Village chief, you are so strong." It is impossible for me to reach such an agreement with the merchants, how could the vampires of the merchants agree to such conditions. ”

Fu Xiaoyi was no longer puzzled, but Tang Yunxiang was still puzzled: "What businessman would agree to such a condition that has no interests? Unless their purpose is iron ore and they don't want to attract attention." ”

"Village Chief, do you know what kind of chamber of commerce those merchants who signed the agreement with you, or what is the origin?" Tang Yunxiang asked quietly with a look on his face.

Although the village chief wondered why Tang Yunxiang asked about this topic, he still said it.

"I don't know where it came from, there are too many forces on the rivers and lakes! But they are stationed near our village, and although we deliver goods on a quarterly basis, they will send people to station there every day, and Lao Yu knows this. ”

Tang Yunxiang nodded.

"Thank you, village chief."

Fu Xiaoyi, who was on the side, saw that Tang Yunxiang was asking the village chief something, but he was also obedient and did not speak.

"Can you tell me where they are stationed, village chief?"

"It's just that after leaving the village, you can see it by walking ten miles to the east. The village chief said truthfully.

At night, Fu Xiaoyi couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on the bed, she wanted to know very much about Tang Yunxiang's purpose of asking the village chief these things, so she looked at Tang Yunxiang who was spending the night on the chair, and asked out loud: "Yunxiang." Why did you just ask the village chief some questions?"

Tang Yunxiang didn't make a sound, he still sat there with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Fu Xiaoyi looked at Tang Yunxiang ignoring him, and instantly became unhappy, and said cruelly to Tang Yunxiang: "If you don't say anything again, I will go to the Tang Sect and find your sect master to be the master, saying that you are bullying me outside!

After Fu Xiaoyi finished speaking, she looked at Tang Yunxiang triumphantly, she didn't believe that Tang Yunxiang didn't speak.

Tang Yunxiang opened his eyes helplessly, looked at Fu Xiaoyi and said, "Okay." You win. What do you want to know?"

"Hmph, just tell me what is the purpose of those questions you asked the village chief?" Fu Xiaoyi first gave a smug "hum", and then threw out his own question.

"The purpose is the businessmen who have signed an agreement with the village chief. Tang Yunxiang replied flatly.

"The main reason why those merchants sign the kind of agreement with the village chief and his village that has no interest is that they need iron ore, and they urgently need it, because they have to keep a low profile, not attract attention, and send people to be stationed here, which shows that they are not serious people. ”

"So you're going to eradicate them tomorrow?!" Fu Xiaoyi heard Tang Yunxiang's analysis...... They're not serious people......", and he got straight out of bed excitedly.

"You think too much! I have no grudge against them, and I have no conflict of interests, so why should I go to eradicate them? I just go to see which side of the force it is. ”

Tang Yunxiang glanced at Fu Xiaoyi and explained.

"Hmm......." Fu Xiaoyi heard that Tang Yunxiang was not going to eradicate those people, so he raised his mouth to express his displeasure.

Tang Yunxiang casually said to Fu Xiaoyi that he would not eradicate those people, but after Tang Yunxiang knew what kind of force those people were, he knew if he wanted to cause them a little trouble.
