Chapter 5 Deer Hunting (Six Parts) When she woke up in the morning, Ayun saw deep bloodshot eyes in Li Xu’s eyes. That confused and confused look should never appear in the eyes of a boy under fifteen years old, even on the grassland.
People who were ten years older than Li Xu would not have eyes as deep as his. It was so heartbreaking that it made Ayun feel a little guilty, but the feeling of guilt was soon replaced by a trace of pleasure in revenge. "He was the one who destroyed it."
The slave girl thought happily, and her white teeth touched the wound last night again, feeling a gentle pain.
"Prepare some cheese, and I'll ask someone to help you pick up the felt bag in the afternoon!" Li Xu's voice was not as weak as Ayun imagined. After a sleepless night, he seemed to have grown up a few years, and he could not even speak.
His tone has a somewhat adult calmness to it.
In the morning light, the young man's shoulders appear very broad and his spine is very straight. Putting aside the grievances between each other for a moment, this is a picture of a good body that is rare among young people in the prairie. It is solid and heavy. You can forget all the wind and rain when you lean on it.
"Yes, Master!" Ayun agreed in a panic, as if all her bad intentions had been seen through, and thin beads of sweat poured out from her forehead and the tip of her nose at the same time.
"You can change it yourself if you need it. The cattle and sheep in my name are all written on the sheepskin in the box, using Chinese characters!" Li Xu warned with a smile, turned around and left.
"How does the master know that I know Chinese characters?" Ayun didn't dare to look into Li Xu's eyes. She didn't raise her head until the other person's footsteps gradually faded away, thinking silently.
"Could it be that he knew that I looked through his box yesterday? Then why wasn't he angry? Why did he trust me? Wasn't he afraid that I would take his treasure and run away?" In the sunshine, the slave girl carrying the copper pot gradually frowned.
They gathered together into a ball, and half a pot of water dripped down to wet their feet.
Li Xu didn't have the energy to pay attention to the sound of running water behind him. Since last night, how to rescue Uncle Jiu has become the top priority in his mind. Su Chuo's tribe is far away from the Central Plains, and a few horses must be prepared. Wild animals are infested along the way, and bandits are rampant.
, it is obviously not a safe plan to only let Wang Mazi and Xu Fu, the eldest member of the Xu family, return south. If more people are gathered to go with Wang Mazi, more traders will have to clear their goods in advance...
"Old Sun is in trouble, we have to help Mr. Li. If you give me a suitable price, I am willing to give you a full discount on the goods, and then accompany Mazi on this journey!" After listening to Li Xu's introduction, a man who came with Sun Jiu last time
The merchant from Su Chuanbu stood up and said loudly
"Yes, Brother Ninth is a good man. We can't afford the money, so we should give him a stick!" Several vendors who had never met Li Xu responded in a loud voice.
"The price, the price should be easy to negotiate. I don't ask for anything. I just ask for Li. Mr. Li will have more in the future. Please take care of me." A southern tea seller stammered. There are too many traders carrying the same goods.
Concentrating it in one place is obviously not a good sign. Instead of staying here and waiting for the goods to drop in price, it is better to sell them all at once to save the capital and at the same time get a favor back. The young man at the moment is a friend worth making. He can
Try your best to rescue Sun Jiu, and block your own way in the future. If you encounter trouble, you won't be afraid that he won't help!
Fortunately, Sun Jiu had been traveling outside the Great Wall for many years and had accumulated enough popularity. Fortunately, Li Xu now had enough wealth in his hands and his status in the Su Chuan tribe was high enough. With the help of Zhang San, everyone was busy for more than two hours.
Finally, a team of fifteen traders was assembled to return south. With Li Xu's expectations and the silverware exchanged from his hands, they hurriedly disappeared into the distant grass.
"Master Li, Brother Ninth was so optimistic about you at the beginning. He really didn't make a mistake!" Uncle Zhang followed behind Li Xu and praised with emotion. Dozens of taels of silverware changed hands in a blink of an eye. He has been doing business all his life and has never seen such a big one.
Once those Shu brocades and tea leaves fail to sell for the expected price, the honest and respectable young man in front of him will lose all his money.
"I'm just about to open a shop here, so I'm not in a hurry to sell the goods. Aren't Zhang Ji and Wang Kewang going to stay in Su Chuanbu? They can help me in the shop!" Li Xu turned around and gave Zhang Sanshu a confident expression.
Zhang Ji and Wang Kewang are the names of the two young people last night. They want to stay in Su Chuanbu, but they lack a suitable reason.
"Well, that's great! Mr. Xu, Mr. Li, you are really thoughtful!" Uncle Zhang didn't react for a moment, and was stunned. He stuttered and replied last night. He was still worried that Li Xu wouldn't be able to fulfill his promise. Unexpectedly, he only used
One night, the young man arranged everything perfectly
"Third uncle, you might as well bring some books to sell next time!" Li Xu smiled, whipped the horse behind his back, and rushed into the tribe. Xu Dayan and the coppersmith master both said that being cruel to the defeated was the rule on the grassland. Last night
, Ah Yun also answered, "Can this rule be changed? The young man hopes that he can give it a try if he has the opportunity."
"Actually, they are all kind-hearted and good people! They just haven't read books!" the young heart thought sincerely.
When it comes to friends, the shepherds of Su Chuobu really deserve the word "kindness", especially for friends like Li Xu who are loyal and affectionate. Everyone is willing to treat his affairs as their own. I heard that he is going to start a new one.
Bao, Aslan, Duer, Hou Quli and others rushed to help. The price of wool is the lowest on the grassland, so buying a felt does not cost Li Xu much. In order to open the first warehouse in the tribe as soon as possible, Shujin asked Etuo
The elder also specially allocated some dry wood strips and wool ropes for tying felt bags from the public treasury. Everyone worked together, and in less than two days, Li Xu's felt bags were transformed from one to four.
"From now on, the fruit wine brewed by Aunt Qing, the scimitar made by the coppersmith master, and Zhongyuan's paper, pens, and silk can all be sold here! The price of each item is fairer than others!" Tao Kuo stood at the outermost corner, taking off his silk clothes.
A felt bag at the door, happily describing his dream
Lin Ren does not have the concept of valuing agriculture over business, and being able to do something for her sweetheart makes her feel happy from the bottom of her heart. Moreover, this is the only warehouse within hundreds of miles. With her and Fu Li running it, the girl believes that the warehouse will soon open
can become the most important part of the tribe
"Little money fan, this warehouse seems to be attached!" Elder Etuo stroked his beard and reminded him in a pretentious manner.
"I'm about to marry Fu Li as my bride! The elder is so confused!" Tao Kuotuo was not polite at all and answered loudly while standing at the door of the felt bag.
"It turns out that someone is going to marry Fu Li as a bride! No wonder the felt bag in the middle is so big and tall!" Aslan put her hands in the shape of a trumpet and shouted around with a smile, "Who else wants to move in?
This felt bag, you won’t have a chance after this summer!”
"Me!" "Me!" "I want to live too!" Several flowery girls responded loudly, holding hands and rushing towards the group of felt bags that had just been set up. "Asi Lan! You are so bad!" Tao Kuo took off his silk and shouted shyly.
, rushed forward in three or two steps, stretched out his hands, and blocked the door of the felt bag. The new house was occupied by another woman, which foreshadowed that her husband would be tired of her in the future, which would involve lifelong happiness. The girl would never be shy.
and avoid
The felt bag in the center is very large, so the door is two feet wider than the ordinary felt bag. Tao Kuo, who is slim and tall, has taken off the silk. The one side is blocked, and the other side is empty. Several girls who usually love naughty smile evilly and are eager to try.
Taokuo was so anxious that he had lost his silk. He cursed Aslan for being evil-hearted and begged the female companions for mercy. However, the female companions showed no mercy at all. They formed a small team and rushed to the left side of the door, and others rushed to the right side of the door.
Go to the window where the moisture is being released and put on half of a pair of boots to make a window-turning gesture
"One, two, turn over!" The young shepherds laughed and encouraged the girl who climbed over the window and rushed through the door.
"No, no!" Tao Kuo waved his arms, guarding his love nest like a mother bird.
A broad hand stretched out and held the girl's fingers that were turning white with anxiety. Tao Kuo stopped laughing and happily leaned his head against Li Xu's broad chest.
"Young man, you protect your wife before you get married, but after you get married, she will take advantage of the situation and go to heaven!" Aslan's wife Pade "scolded" her as a person who had been there.
"Yes, yes, wives need to be disciplined!" The girl in red, half of her boots already on the wooden window frame, smiled and made a face at Li Xu. The weather was not very cold anymore, and under the raised silk skirt, she looked slender.
The white calves are clearly visible
"Damn Toya, when you get married, I will definitely give your husband a riding crop!" Tao Kuotosi spat and threatened in a low voice.
"Who will give Fu Li a riding crop!" Toya took her long legs off the window and jumped like a deer.
"Dear brother, I'll give you a riding crop to accompany you to herd the sheep. Dear brother, I'd like to turn into a little lamb and lie beside you..." The girls laughed unbridled and sang.
Singing, the song ripples in the summer sunset
"Fu Li, what if I do something wrong in the future?" The girl hid her shameful face on Li Xu's shoulder and her voice was as quiet as a gnat. "You can beat me or scold me like other husbands teach their wives, but don't,
Don’t drive me away…”
Li Xu's hand tightened with great effort, and Tao Kuo's silky catkin lay firmly in the depths of his palm. He didn't understand the way to express friendship on the grassland, nor did he know the oath of the people, so he had to use these silent words to tell
The presence of love and commitment from the other person
"Holding the child's hand, one grows old with the child! Is this what the Central Plains people call the hand of holding the child?" The girl Eru looked at her sister immersed in happiness quietly from a distance, her eyes filled with envy.
Xu Xianzhe went to negotiate with the Khitans! But dealing with foreigners was not Brother Xu’s business at all. Eru turned around gently and disappeared from the excitement.
Following Aunt Qing since she was a child, she read too many Chinese poems and she half understood every sentence. When she finally understood one or two sentences, she tasted the deep sadness behind the poems.
