........................
Lishui Village, with a nice name, is actually just a dozen or so households.
The village is located on a dirt slope, with a stream running far away, surrounded by vegetation and trees, but it is also a place to settle down and rest.
It's getting late, and twilight is falling.
A bonfire was lit by the stream, and seven people sat around eating, drinking, and resting. Not far away, a cart was parked, and six horses with their bridles removed from their bridles were grazing on the grass nearby.
The moonlit treetops, the evening breeze.
After eating and drinking, everyone lay down or sat down and laughed in a low voice.
After throwing the branch in his hand, Da Lang clapped his hands in fear and complained: "In the past, when I came here, the village had a courtyard to rest, but now it's a good ......."
Ning Er was lying on a piece of animal skin, curled up comfortably, and said with a smile: "It's all because Ma Ye is troublesome, he begged the village to settle the person in the carriage, but the village was disgusted with the dead, so he was not allowed to enter the village, hehe!"
Da Lang hummed and said, "That's right, the people in the village are exquisite, but you and I are in a hurry with a dead man......"
Niu Tamp, Barbarian, Father Hong and Chang Shi all sat by the fire, either grinning and laughing, or closing their eyes to recuperate. After a day's journey, they were frightened and frightened, but now they are full of food and drink, gossiping, and dozing off, but they are also comfortable.
Ma Ye took a small leather bag containing soju, raised it and took a sip, then reclined on the mattress, and hummed: "You two know a fart! Go out to make a living, pay attention to seeing blood and making money, and when you meet a dead person, you will definitely make a fortune." What's more, the man is not dead, since the village refuses to settle and take it on the road, he should do good deeds and accumulate virtue!" He stuffed the skin bag into his arms, raised his foot and kicked: "Barbarian, go and get a tarpaulin and cover that man, don't be eaten and gnawed by snakes and rats!"
The barbarian answered, and ran as soon as he got up, he was not very old, and he was diligent in his hands and feet.
Xu mentioned making a fortune, Da Lang was interested, so he snuggled up to Ning Er and lay down, and said with a smile: "The three major truckloads of medicinal materials and raw silk produced in Saudi Arabia are sold to Han Shuidu in Nanling, and they come and go for two thousand miles, and the expenses on the way are removed. There should be seven or eighty percent of the profits. After this time, you should rest at home for a while......"
Ning Er sneered and sneered: "It's only been a few days since I left home, and I miss my mother-in-law again!"
Da Lang retorted casually: "I don't want my mother-in-law, I'm afraid that the child will not listen to discipline at home...... Hey, the dog's body still stinks!" He reached out and shoved, turning to the side.
Ning Er was defenseless, and rolled directly into Daddy Hong's arms, he wanted to scold out loud, Daddy Hong was so frightened that he was sleepy-eyed, and said unexpectedly: "You kid, you're not too young, and you still want Daddy to sleep in my arms?"
"Hey...... Hey hey ......"
Da Lang laughed so much that he couldn't stop laughing.
"My dad died early!"
Ning Er returned the sentence and moved back to his place, but he was dishonest again, and the two red circles were dripping and turning.
Ma Ye also grinned, but he snored.
At this time, the barbarian had already found a tarpaulin and walked to a big car. The car was loaded with several bags of medicinal herbs and dry food, and there was a figure lying on his back facing the sky.
He looked left and right, wincing, and hesitated for a moment before placing the tarpaulin over the man. No abnormalities were observed, and his courage was slightly stronger. He reached out to wrap the rain cloth tightly and quietly raised his eyes to take a look.
Under the hazy moonlight, the young man in the car still did not move, and his body was covered with a faint cold, which looked very strange and scary in the night.
The barbarian hurriedly covered his face with a tarpaulin, turned around and hurried away.
This was the first time he had gone out with a convoy, and everything was fresh. However, he thought that what Ma Ye said made sense, the people in the car were still alive, but their souls had gone away. And why did a good person fall from the sky? Is it really as Daddy Hong said that the five ghosts are carrying, it is too bizarre!
Ning Er came head-on, a little sneaky.
The barbarian said "Second Brother Ning", but the other party waved his hand: "Go to sleep, I want to pee......" He didn't think much about it, and went to rest.
Ning Er walked to the grass on the shore, unbuttoned his crotch, stumbled and had a pee war, turned to tie his trousers, and looked at the cattle and carts nearby. When he walked to a big car, looked back, lifted the tarpaulin on the car, revealing a stiff figure, and then reached out and groped in the other's arms and sleeves. After a while, he shook off the cold air on his hands, and said in his belly: "Ma Ye is troublesome! This is obviously a dead man, and he doesn't have any money or silver, so it is better to throw it away and feed it to the wild dogs...... Hey?
The man in the car was stretched out with his arms stretched, and a piece of something on his right thumb shone slightly in the moonlight.
Ning Er lowered his head and stared, and slowly grabbed the finger, and there was a ring on it, like bone and jade. His eyes lit up, and he reached out to pick it up, and no matter how hard he tried, the ring did not move, even if he tore the whole arm from side to side, it was still in vain.
"It's weird! Maybe it's a good thing, and people die without fear of pain......"
He muttered, reached out and took out a knife from his lower back, and cut at the thumb without thinking, and slashed left and right, up and down, and the finger did not even see a knife edge. He was a little anxious, and he swung his knife and slashed it hard. But in an instant, I only felt that my hands were numb, and the whole person was like a lightning strike, and the knife flew out with a "whoosh". He stepped back again and again, dumbfounded.
The big man over there was shouting: "Ning Er, the dog's day, is it not the crotch of his pants again......"
Ning Er was violently excited, hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover the rain cloth, leaned over and picked up the knife, and walked back with a deep foot and a shallow foot, but he still couldn't help but turn back frequently and was in a trance......
......
For three days in a row, there were no villages on the way, and on the evening of the fourth day, it began to rain.
Three large carts sped along the boulevard, and a large dirt slope appeared in front of them. In the smoke and rain, the courtyard of the cottage was hazy.
I remember that this place is called Poxia Village, there should be more than a dozen families, but at this time, there is no cooking smoke, and there is no dog barking.
Ma Ye shouted, and rushed directly onto the dirt slope with the carriage. There are exactly three pergolas at the entrance of the village, which are quite spacious. The horses were driven into the two pergolas nearby, and the neighing and shouting of the horses were busy, and then the people hurried into the other pergola.
And Ma Ye's shouting continues-
"Have you covered the herbs?"
"It's covered. ”
"Is the raw silk covered?"
"Master Ma, don't worry!"
"Well, this rain can't stop for a while, Da Lang, Ning Er, go to the village to inform and change some firewood and rice to use......"
"Uh-huh......"
The three pergolas are not large, just enough to accommodate the rest of the carriage and horses. A pergola on high ground is swaying the figures of Ma Ye and Father Hong. A few pine torches were lit, and the rainy twilight suddenly became much brighter. The crowd took off their bedding and went on busy.
The mountain pine is greasy, split into thin strips, and burned for lighting, which is a pine torch, and the traders who travel far away often bring a bundle for spare.
Da Lang and Ning Er held torches, carried oilcloths, and ran side by side towards the village.
Ma Ye and the others had already spread out the covers and other things on the ground, and each sat down to rest and talk.
Father Hong blew his nose and said worriedly: "Master Ma, the situation is not good! I'm afraid that it is in time for the belated rainy season, and the sky will not be sunny for three or five days!" He turned to look into the distance, and said to himself: "It should be the time to hold the lamp, why don't you see the light......
Looking through the rain and fog, the cottages dozens of feet away were shrouded in darkness, and there was no light to be seen, which looked a little lifeless.
Ma Ye raised his eyes and glanced at it, a little puzzled, didn't think much about it, stroked his beard and said, "It's okay! Han Shuidu is five hundred miles away, and it is enough to arrive in two months." Have you settled down with the carriages and horses?"
Chang replied: "Ma Ye, don't worry, everything is in order." Niu tam, barbarian, go check one or two again, don't let the horses get cold in the rain!"
Niu Tam sat still, stretched out his foot and kicked: "Barbarian, brother wants to rest for a while, you go out with your head back, don't be diligent......"
The barbarian hurriedly got up and braved the light rain to run to the two grass huts a few feet away.
Father Hong said: "Tsk, this kid also knows how to call people!"
Niu Tam smiled smugly: "Hehe, follow Ma Ye to grow your skills......"
Ma Ye stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and sat steadily.
This trip is sold by several families in partnership between Nanling and Huosha, although the distance is long, the meal is open, it is very hard, but it is very profitable. And Bandaoer inevitably encountered risks, so the well-informed Ma Ye became the leader. If there is an accident, it can always save the day. And everyone lives together all year round, knows each other well, and when they rest, they laugh and laugh. Only the barbarian who is about to become an adult is going out for the first time, and it is inevitable that he will be a little jerky.
The brute ran into the hut, gathered up the horses, added a few handfuls of food to the horses, and turned to the nearby shed. The rain trickled down and down the gutter. The three carts were placed side by side, all covered with tarpaulins, and in the dark, there was nothing unusual in the four corners. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't help but look at the figure wrapped in the rain cloth.
He is eighteen years old this year, his father and mother died early, he grew up eating hundreds of meals, and the village saw that he was pitiful, so he begged Ma Ye to take him out to make a living. He is also obedient and well-behaved, at his disposal, but he speaks little, and in the past, he liked to think about his heart silently. As for what to think, he didn't know.
When the barbarian saw that the feet of the people in the car were exposed outside the tarpaulin, he walked over and stretched out his hand to cover them.
Instead of thinking about it, no matter whether people are dead or alive, they can fly in the sky, even if they fall, it is not in vain, at least they have seen the height of heaven and earth!
He walked out of the shed, was poured into his neck by the rain, and couldn't help but shrink his head, just in time to see a torch in the distance shining on two figures swaying in the rain and fog, with the sound of kicking and kicking footsteps, Ning Er shouted in horror: "Master Ma...... Ma Ye...... It's amazing......"
Ma Ye sat still, and the ox rammed and often got up to watch.
In an instant, Ning Er ran over with a whirlwind, rushed directly into the shed, couldn't hold his feet, and almost jumped out again. Then the big man holding the torch was panting, and he was also frightened and embarrassed.
Seeing this, the barbarian walked over.
Father Hong also stood up, staring at him for some reason.
Ma Ye sat upright as before, very calm, stroked his beard, and asked loudly: "What's the alarm?"
