After leaving Qinghe Village, Chen Ping'an felt a little sad in his heart, because he didn't know when the next time he would see the girl. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut the affairs of his father and mother and Qingniu Town have always been like a big stone pressing on his heart, and it is only the peaceful barbarian village life in the past few days that has made the strings that have been tight in his heart relax a little.

Although the customs of southern Xinjiang are very different from those of Qingniu Town, Chen Ping'an has the heart to taste the wonders at this time. He just wanted to complete the errand delivered by Jia Youdao as soon as possible, and then go back to the mountain to do penance. He didn't dare to delay on the road, and within a few days, he passed through more than a dozen barbarian villages. Chen Ping'an just passed Jia Youdao's order to the leaders of those barbarian villages, asking them to prepare more for this year's offerings. He didn't linger much in it, but just replenished his provisions, and hurried on his way.

Chen Ping'an spread out the map in his hand and looked at one of the big red dots. This red dot represents the location of the purchase: 'Jiaomanzhai', which is already close to the edge of southern Xinjiang. From time to time, Han caravans come to exchange materials unique to southern Xinjiang, which is very lively.

Chen Ping'an had also heard Jia Youdao mention in the mountains before that the father of the current leader of the village had saved their master Ma Changsheng more than ten years ago. That year, Ma Changsheng had a dispute with someone, and was called by that person to be a friend, but fortunately, the other party was not a person with high mana. In addition, the Yinshan Sect is also somewhat prestigious in this southern Xinjiang, and they don't dare to do too much, Ma Laodao can't resist being injured and escaping.

Later, when Ma Laodao fled to the corner barbarian village, he lost too much blood and couldn't support it, so he was saved by the leader of the barbarian village who went out to hunt. Although Ma Laodao has a somewhat eccentric personality, he is still a person who knows how to repay his kindness. In the following days, with the support of Mai Guan and its location, Jiaomanzhai gradually developed into a trading place between barbarians and Han people, which was very prosperous, and Ma Changsheng repaid the kindness of the barbarian leader.

Following the instructions of the map all the way, Chen Changsheng finally came to Jiaomanzhai. I saw that the horned barbarian village was really much more atmospheric than the village I had seen before, and there were caravans coming in and out from time to time, and barbarian warriors were also patrolling back and forth. In the distance, watchtowers can be seen, with some elite barbarian warriors on them.

Chen Ping'an found a small leader at the gate of the village, and indicated in barbarian language that he was the messenger of Maiguan. After hearing this, the little leader respectfully led Chen Ping'an to the stockade, and then arranged for a barbarian warrior under his command to inform the leader, and he led Chen Ping'an to the center of the stockade.

didn't go far, but I saw a barbarian man leading a group of people forward to usher in him. The leader spoke: "Haha, welcome to the envoy! My name is Jiao Manhao, the envoy looks at the eye, what about the envoy Hu Tao on the mountain?" Chen Ping'an: "Hu Tao is my fourth senior brother, and I am the new disciple of the master. The senior brothers were afraid that I would be bored on the mountain, so they asked me to come down the mountain to exercise, and the corner leader called me Chen Ping'an. ”

How did Ke Ling, a tyrant, know that Chen Ping'an was calculated by several senior brothers, and when Chen Ping'an was very favored on the mountain, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment. led Chen Ping'an to the place where the guests were feasted.

After a while, all the important people in the village walked in. Jiao Manhao sat in the first place, and Chen Ping'an sat in the bottom of him. I saw that the horned barbarian clapped his hands, and several barbarian girls walked in one by one with various delicacies, and then everyone's seats were full of food.

Jiao Manhao raised the horn cup in his hand and said, "Let's drink this cup for the arrival of the messenger on the holy mountain." After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and the people below followed suit. Chen Ping'an made a little trick and pretended to finish the wine in the cup, but in fact, it all fell under the seat.

After more than half an hour, the feast ended in the staggered conversation of everyone. Chen Ping'an followed Jiao Manhao into the inner room, only to see Jiao Manhao bow down and say: "Little senior brother, everything on the mountain is fine, and I ask the senior brother to go back to the descendants and I will say hello to the old man and all the senior brothers." ”

It turned out that this corner of the barbarian was a registered disciple secretly accepted by Ma Lao Dao, and only the Mai Guan family knew about it. He is the illegitimate son of the former leader of Jiaomanzhai, you must know that he can climb to the position of the leader step by step from the identity of an illegitimate son who has not seen the light, and he was also accepted as a registered disciple by Ma Lao Dao, which shows that Jiaomanhao is not as bold as his appearance and name.

Chen Ping'an: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely bring your words." It's almost time to hand in the offerings every year, and something went wrong last year. This year, the senior brother specially sent me down the mountain to inform me in advance, hoping that nothing would go wrong again. As he spoke, he took out the map and spread it out to Jiao Manhao, and then said: "Here, and here, these dozen or so stockades are all the villages I passed through, and I have already notified their leaders, and the rest of the stockades will trouble you to inform the junior brother." ”

Jiao Manhao remembered the map as a result, and nodded his head, Chen Ping'an put away the map and put it in the bag when he saw this. Jiao Manhao saw Chen Ping'an put away the map and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, the rest of the stockade will be notified by Senior Brother." Chen Ping'an looked at the way Jiao Manhao's tall body was full of smiles, bending down to talk to himself, he was a little funny in his heart, but he also admired Jiao Manhao very much.

"By the way, do the people of the barbarian village have a caravan coming?" Chen Ping'an asked Jiao Manhao. Jiao Manhao didn't know why Chen Ping'an suddenly mentioned the Barbarian Village, and asked cautiously at the moment: "But the people of the Mansha Village have offended the senior brother, and the owner of the poisonous enemy village has some friendship with me, and I ask the senior brother to raise his noble hand." ”

The corners of Chen Ping'an's mouth twitched: "Senior brother, I just came to this southern Xinjiang, and I have been practicing in the mountains before, where have I seen any barbarian people." It's the senior brother who needs the medicinal materials of the barbarian village to practice the 'poisonous mask'. After hearing this, Jiao Manhao suddenly realized: "Senior brother came unfortunately, and the caravan of the barbarian village left yesterday." If my brother doesn't rest in the village for a few days, I'll send someone to chase them, and by the way, let me treat my brother well. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. When I was about to go down the mountain, the senior brother specially explained the matter of my barbarian village, so as not to make the senior brother feel guilty, I should go at home. By the way, you can take a look at these. After Chen Ping'an finished speaking, he took out the notes given by the senior brothers on the mountain that day, which recorded the things they needed. Chen Ping'an: "These are all the things that the senior brothers on the mountain need, you are ready to prepare." Oh, and by the way, get some books for me. ”

Jiao Manhao took the note and looked at it for a while: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely send someone to prepare these things within an hour." Chen Ping'an nodded with satisfaction after listening: "Then I'll look around in this village alone, don't send someone to follow me." I'll come and get it in an hour. Jiao Manhao patted his chest to reassure Chen Ping'an.

When Chen Ping'an walked out of the house, Jiao Manhao still had the same bold appearance as before, and his face was a little hideous: "I also begged that old ghost I don't know how many times, but he still refused to accept me as an official apprentice. But he knew that there were still two small servants on the mountain who were also taken in by Ma Laodao, otherwise he would be even more angry.

Chen Ping'an walked alone in the Jiaomanzhai and found that there was something else in the Jiaomanzhai. There are actually many Han people who set up shops in the village, and the things sold in them are all kinds of things, and Chen Ping'an's eyes are dazzled, he has seen these things before.

After walking for a while, Chen Ping'an saw a shop selling jewelry, and after thinking about it, he walked in. I saw that the house was full of dazzling, two barbarian girls were greeting customers in the store, and when they saw Chen Ping'an walking in, one of the girls greeted them. Seeing that Chen Ping'an's face was tender, he joked: "Xiao Langjun is here to buy jewelry to please his family?"

Chen Ping'an saw this battle, and stood in place with a red face. At this moment, the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and an older woman came out, who seemed to be the mother of two girls. I saw the woman whispering, "Zi'er, don't make trouble." Then he looked at Chen Ping'an apologetically: "Little guest officer, the little girl is stubborn, please don't blame me." I'll give you a cheaper price when the settlement comes. Chen Ping'an hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I came here to buy a bracelet to give away." ”

Zi'er next to her heard Chen Ping'an's words, her little nose straightened, and she snorted. Chen Ping'an didn't pay attention to her, and then chose a pair of jade bracelets under the leadership of the woman, and then Chen Ping'an asked: "I don't know if you have a bracelet like mine, madam." After speaking, Chen Ping'an revealed the Buddha beads on his left wrist.

The woman carefully looked at the Buddhist beads in Chen Ping'an's hand and said, "Although we don't have ready-made ones, there is nothing special about this bead and style, little guest officer, if you wait for half an hour, I can make it for you." Chen Ping'an was overjoyed after hearing this: "Madam, I'm waiting in this store, and ask Madame to make a dozen strings, I can wait for an hour or so, I don't know if Madame can make it?"

The woman nodded her head and walked back into the house to start making the bracelet. Zi'er's sister was still greeting the guests, and Chen Ping'an didn't have the heart to deal with Zi'er. After a while, Zi'er saw that Chen Ping'an was bored, and there were customers in the store again, so she went to help her sister greet the guests. Seeing this, Chen Ping'an wiped the fine hair sweat that did not exist on his forehead, breathed a long sigh of relief, and stood in the store looking at his nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart.

After more than half an hour, the lady walked out with more than ten bracelets in her hand, and then said: "It's also a little guest officer who has to be a little anxious, otherwise I can still do it more exquisitely." Chen Ping'an took the bracelet and looked at it: "These are enough, thank you madam." After saying that, he paid and walked out of the jewelry store.

Then Chen Ping'an walked around casually and didn't buy anything more. It was estimated that it had been more than an hour, and Chen Ping'an walked towards Jiao Manhao's house. Jiao Manhao saw Chen Ping'an from afar, got up and greeted: "Senior brother, I have prepared this thing, can you see what is missing?" Chen Ping'an looked at the things prepared by Jiao Manhao, and found that there was no mistake on the list given by the four senior brothers, nodded and put the things on the ground into the bag.

Chen Ping'an: "Senior brother, you have done things properly, I will definitely show your merits to the senior brothers when I return to the mountain." I'm going to chase the people in the barbarian village, by the way, senior brother, I found this bracelet in this village, so I'll give you a string. After speaking, ignoring Jiao Manhao's somewhat strange face, he threw him a string of bracelets, Chen Ping'an turned around and chased in the direction of Manshao Village.
