59. The Tao Inside

Three dogs, their porter team only does transportation and earns freight; Sangou is young, his body is getting better quickly, and his shoulders and feet, which were still a little sore yesterday, are much better today.

But no matter how fast it is, there must be a recovery period, which is not completely good, Sangou began to pick again, at first the first ten miles did not feel, and then it became more and more painful.

When I was sharpening at the roadside shop for lunch, I wanted to see how my shoulders were, but my clothes hurt as soon as I pulled them, and the skin on my shoulders was crushed, and the flesh and blood stuck to my clothes.

Lao Li Tou took some hot water, washed the wound, and then asked Niu Gu to take some Yunnan Baiyao and put it on, and found a clean strap to wrap around and tie it on both sides.

After finishing and then dealing with the bottom of the foot plate, the place where the blood blistered before, although the blood was released, but the skin has not completely stuck to the flesh, this heavy pressure and non-stop friction walking, those skins are all open, and some have fallen to the point where I don't know where.

You can only wash the soles of your feet with hot water, apply white medicine, and tie the straps, and the shoes will not be able to wear in; When Niu Gu saw this, he asked Sangou to stay at the inn on the side of the road to rest for a few days, and then meet together when everyone came back in a few days.

Sangou didn't want to affect everyone, or didn't want to leave everyone, saying that this skin trauma was nothing, and he would go to the county seat if he persisted, and he would be fine after a few days of rest and waiting for the soles of his feet and shoulders to grow calluses.

Seeing that Sangou insisted again and again, Niu Gu forgot it, but he also asked everyone to share a little bit of the goods in the basket of three dogs, so that the three dogs would pick it more lightly.

No matter how light this is, I still have to walk, Sangou threw his shoes in the basket, and this newly bought cloth shoes can't be worn like this, otherwise the soles will be worn out in a few days, which is a pity.

Most of the people are straw sandals, learn to play straw shoes with Lao Li Tou another day, Lao Li Tou said that he can play, and when he learns to give himself a pair, Sangou thought secretly; But now I walk barefoot with a strap, but every step I take, the pain, the pain is uncomfortable, and I sweat profusely.

When everyone saw Sangou being so brutal, they didn't shout in pain, and they looked at Sangou more and more, this scholar is good. So they took the goods from the three dogs basket to pick them up, and then the three dogs only carried two empty baskets and left.

Sangou picks an empty basket, in fact, you can take the big road to pass the card, no one cares, but Sangou is not familiar with this road, afraid of going wrong.

Second, I don't want to leave everyone, originally people helped you share the goods to pick, you yourself also took a shortcut to enjoy it, it is very undesirable, even if the road is not familiar, you can also ask all the way back, but the three dogs still did not do that, although the old Li Tou they are called to go directly to the road back.

Following everyone, in the evening, all the way to the 33rd (Xiaxi) Nanshan Land, Niu Gu said to Lao Li Tou and Tie Nong, he was going to go to a Mao Pit (poop), and asked everyone to go back to the North Gate Freight Yard first, where there was the owner of the goods to pick up the goods.

Everyone didn't wait for the cow, and went all the way back to the North Gate Freight Yard; Later, after a while, Sangou learned that in fact, Niu Gu did not go to the Mao Pit, but also Lao Li Tou saw that Sangou could close his mouth and keep his mouth, so he secretly told him.

It turned out that the load of goods that Niu Gu picked up by himself was only covered with some socks, and the bottom was full of good things, what good things? It's all medicines, these days, many drugs, especially Western medicines, are embargoed, and it's very profitable to do this business, of course, once you are caught, you can only go to jail.

And once Niu Gu was caught, he would not only go to prison, but also be killed, so everyone thought that they didn't know that this happened at that time, because they were afraid of being involved, and second, they were afraid of leaking the news; As for Sangou, it was much later that he found out about it.

What kind of crime is it, if you catch it, you will be killed? It turned out that Niu Gu's medicine was sold to the "Red Bandits" (Red Army), and the time and place were agreed in advance, and the people also paid a deposit to Niu Gu, and at that point in time, people came to pick up the goods.

At that time, most of the "red bandits" were active in the Yiyang area, and Guangfeng also had them, but they were relatively sporadic and the scale was not as good as Yiyang; Therefore, all the roads to Yiyang were blocked by the government very tightly, and the investigation was very strict.

Therefore, Niu Gu did not dare to take that line, and negotiated with others to deliver goods on this familiar road, and finally everyone agreed to choose the thirty-three capital (Xiaxi) not far from the county seat to hand over.

People received the goods of the cow, and then found a way to transport them to Yiyang, as for how to pass through the blockade line, this cow will not care, and will not ask so many things, this is the rule of the road.

Anyway, they are most lacking in this medicine, it is not available on the market, the pharmacy is full of ordinary medicines, and some forbidden drugs have been taken away, and they are not allowed to put it out, or even none.

The cattle piggyback mainly on Western medicine (aspirin) and opium made into tablets; Aspirin, in fact, they don't know the official name of this drug, it is generally called: "panacea".

This medicine is a very good pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory pill, antipyretic and analgesic, reducing inflammation, especially used in the treatment of knife wounds, and can also be used to treat colds, fevers, infectious diseases and other diseases.

Opium made into medicinal tablets is made by boiling and fermenting raw opium to make mature opium, slice and package. Because most of the alkaloids contained in opium are morphine; Morphine mainly plays an anesthetic and analgesic role, of course, if you use too much, it will be addictive, that is, drug addiction.

This kind of opium pills are also sold in Chinese medicine shops, mainly used for analgesia, the pain relief effect is very good, followed by antidiarrheal cough, dysentery and other infectious diseases are very dangerous, if not only diarrhea, people will keep diarrhea, dehydration and death.

On this road, people like Niu Gu dare to do this kind of business, Niu Gu knows almost all the directors of Lika, and the relationship is usually good.

But it is not foolproof, in case the government sends unknown soldiers to investigate, people will not eat that set, once it is found that contraband, confiscation is a trivial matter, and it will be dragged to prison, if the "red bandit" trading scene is caught, it will be killed.

So once Niu Gu encountered this situation, a few brothers who often followed him immediately came to cover him, and quickly and secretly threw away the contraband directly, without physical evidence, there was no way to arrest people, at most lose some goods, at least without going to jail and killing his head.

The greater the risk, the more money you make, the price offered by the "red bandits" is very good, although it is a little lower than the price opened on the black market, but the "red bandits" have a good reputation for doing business, and they will not rely on their guns to make money and black goods, and they will give as much money as they want, and they will never default on cash transactions.

Sometimes people will also give Yiyang a voucher, with this coupon you can buy things in Yiyang, the same as the money, of course, they don't go there, they won't want it, there are a few on hand, they also gave it, people say, welcome Niu Gu they go there to do business.

This kind of coupon Niu Gu does not dare to put it on his body for a long time, once it is known or found out, it is the crime of the Communist Party, this kind of crime can be big, and it will kill the head, so Niu Gu will either hide these coupons in which wall, or give them to the people who are going to Yiyang Realm, saying that they have picked it up, and be a favor.
