013 Variations
The foot of Luan Qi Mountain.
In a spacious wooden house, incense is lit and charcoal is baked, making the room as warm as summer, and you can't help but relax your body.
"It turned out that it was the Nanling Chamber of Commerce who wanted the wolf poison whip. ”
Lei Tianlai put down the letterhead in his hand, and his eyes were slight: "The business of the Nanling Chamber of Commerce covers the eight prefectures of Luzhou, and a thousand wolf poison whips are not a small business for them. ”
"It's a small business for them, but for us, it's a big business that can't afford to lose!"
Another foreign affairs master, Shen Du, sat aside and spoke slowly.
He is thin, with a hooked nose and triangular eyes, a gloomy temperament, and a chill all over his body, even if he is dressed in satin, he still does not show the slightest rich temperament.
Shen Du squinted at Lei Tianlai, and his voice was heavy: "This deal, we not only want to win it, but also take over the future deal! If we can satisfy them, the business of this wolf poison whip is more than a thousand!"
"That's right!"
Lei Tianlai nodded, and there was some distress in his excitement: "But now that time is pressing, the wolf poison whip of the hundred forgings has to pinch the time, and if it is added any more, our side will not be busy at all!"
"Then recruit mountain people!"
Shen Du's voice was cold: "A hundred forged wolf poison whips, it is okay for people who refine their bodies to play tricks, once they are in the hands of a master who has cultivated the true qi of the inner family, it will be scrapped with a few swings!
"It's so bad!"
Lei Tianlai stood up and paced back and forth in the house: "Seeing that the mountain is about to be closed due to heavy snow, if it is forged for three hundred, the number of iron wire vines will be doubled, even if it attracts mountain people, I am afraid it will not be enough!"
"Then make more moves, the heavy snow sealing the mountain is just a difficult to collect, and it is not impossible to collect!"
Shen Du snorted coldly: "In this transaction, even if the wages are deducted, the net profit is nearly two thousand taels of silver! Even if half of it is distributed to the gang, there are still a lot of them in our hands." Moreover, if you can continue to buy and sell in the future, every year, it will be ......."
He smiled gloomily and glanced at Lei Tianlai, already made up his mind!
"Someone!"
As soon as Lei Tianlai's voice was mentioned, a person immediately pushed the door in, bowed to the two of them and said, "Two masters, what do you command?"
"Go and call Huang Phosphorus!" Lei Tianlai said in a muffled voice.
"Yes!"
The person who came bowed down and quickly retreated.
............
In the middle of the mountains and forests.
Sun Heng closed his eyes and breathed, the reckless ape walked all over his body, and at a certain moment, his eyes opened, and the axe in his hand continued to tremble.
"Aggressive ......"
The three chopping blows seemed to converge as one, and the hand axe with the remnant of the Dao Dao fell on the hard iron wire vine.
Three stacks of waves, three layers of stacks!
Sun Heng's face remained unchanged, and he continued to wave his arms, only to hear a series of slashing sounds, and there was a crisp click, and the iron wire vine that took ordinary people to cut for a long time was already disconnected.
After a pause, Sun Heng exhaled a long breath, ripped off the vine branch with the same face, and slid down towards the tree.
Under the control of the three stacked waves, the reckless ape energy, and his own subtlety, Sun Heng's speed of collecting iron wire vines had surpassed that of some formal apprentices.
And with the support of Erya's marching pill, he no longer has to worry about excessive exercise, which will cause his nutrition to keep up.
"One, two, three...... , 21, 22、......"
Counting the rattans under his feet, Sun Heng nodded slightly, today's task has almost been completed.
Wait to find two more, and then you can go down the mountain to rest.
Looking up at the sky, the sunset had begun to turn red, and the daylight had begun to dim.
Although the speed of collection has progressed, the Ma family brothers are handed over every day to exchange with Erya, and as time goes by, it needs to deepen the march to the mountains and forests, and Sun Heng still has to delay until the evening to complete the task.
Of course, a large part of this is due to his intention.
"Brother Sun!"
When he was collecting the last iron vine, Er Ya also happened to come over from a distance and waved at him: "Do you want to go down the mountain?"
"Well, down the mountain. ”
Sun Heng nodded, bent down and inserted a stick into the wire vine that was divided into two halves, and carried it his waist, directly on his shoulder.
Now, he no longer runs alone at noon, but chooses to take it back at one time.
It is too deep in the mountains, which can save a lot of time, and many apprentices have made this choice.
Of course, some people can't carry it at one time, so they naturally have to be divided into two times, just like Erya, just like Zhang Chongjiu!
As for Chen Tieying......
It's a pity that three days ago, he vomited blood while collecting the clemat vine, and was sent down the mountain and pulled back to the pharmacy for treatment, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
In this regard, Sun Heng can only express regret.
Senior Brother Zhang Xiaozhang, who was attached to foreign affairs by Chen Tieying and Zhang Chongjiu, did not have to hand over a part of the iron wire vine every day like Sun Heng and Erya, I thought that he would have a very easy life, but it was still difficult to escape, which was also sad and lamentable!
And in just more than ten days, Zhang Chongjiu and Sun Heng were also fellow travelers, and in front of that Senior Brother Zhang, he was very attentive and extremely dog-legged.
Zhang Xiao and Huang Phosphorus are both disciples of the foreign affairs master Lei Tianlai, and they have a lot of energy in the internal affairs apprenticeship.
As for the other foreign master, Shen Du, he had no apprentices, and it is said that he had a son, but in the county town.
After going down the mountain and handing in the task, Sun Heng walked towards the dormitory over there with a full body of fatigue.
"Sun Heng?"
A voice sounded in the distance, and when he looked back, it was the old horse, a coachman who often came and went back to Qingyang Town, waving at him: "Come here, here are your things!"
"Got something for me?"
Sun Heng was stunned, he didn't know anyone in Qingyang Town, who would bring something to him?
"Wow. ”
When he came closer, Lao Ma handed over a package, looked at him with a smile and said, "Okay, little offspring, do you want to learn to read?"
"What did Uncle say?"
Sun Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly, opened the package, and was stunned when he saw the contents inside: "Who gave this to me?"
"Shi Shaoyou?"
But in the package, there was a thick book, and he knew two of the three words on the cover.
Qian, Wen, if you guess correctly, this should be the enlightenment book of this world "Thousand Character Text"!
"Who else could there be if it wasn't him?"
Lao Ma shook his head and patted Sun Heng on the shoulder: "Come on, boy, the kid surnamed Shi was caught by the young master because he painted a good hand, and now he has been following Master Wu three years in advance." ”
"Ahh
Sun Heng was stunned, but he didn't expect Shi Shaoyou to have such luck and make a fortune so quickly!
As for why he gave him books, Sun Heng could also guess it.
It should have been that day that he pulled him and let him escape, so he gave a book to repay.
Sun Heng did not avoid people when he learned words, and Shi Shaoyou naturally knew about it.
Flipped through the book in his hand, under the big characters, there are brief pictures, and there are text groups at the back.
"That's right. ”
Satisfied, after putting away the books, Sun Heng remembered something and asked Lao Ma: "Uncle, do you know how the handyman who was sent back from here a few days ago is doing now? His name is Chen Tieying, and he used to live in the same room with me. ”
"He's dead!"
It was not Lao Ma who replied, but Zhang Chongjiu, who came over with a cold face: "He died on the way back!" It was also his fate, there was nothing to say. ”
Sun Heng frowned.
He didn't like the tone of Zhang Chongjiu's speech very much now, just like everyone else in the pharmacy, cold and emotionless.
Unexpectedly, only two months have passed, and Zhang Chongjiu has integrated himself into the atmosphere of the pharmacy, and there is no trace of the original innocence.
"What are you doing here?"
Displeased in his heart, Sun Heng's tone also became cold.
Senior Brother Huang had something to say, so he summoned everyone to gather in the square. Zhang Chongjiu glanced at him, as indifferent as the others.
