Qu Laosan took Xue Ming to a barren mountain. The mountain was not too high but very remote. There were many artificially dug caves halfway up the mountain. The two came to a quite large cave.

"Brother Xue, do you know what these caves are for?" Qu Laosan walked around the cave with his hands behind his back, a confused smile on his face.

Xue Ming shook his head, and Qu Laosan explained with a smile, "This was the base camp of the bandits before liberation. They relied on these caves that were easy to defend and difficult to attack to cope with the army's encirclement and suppression."

"They were eventually wiped out." Xue Ming already understood what the other party meant. This cave was their trading place.Five thousand kilograms of wheat is exactly 34 sacks, which is enough room here.

"I will give you five days to prepare food, and I will bring people over at noon five days later to trade. Brother Xue, please rest assured, we will not bring weapons by then." Qu Laosan said.

"I'm a foreigner and I don't have any weapons on me. If you don't believe me, just search me."

"Haha, I believe in Brother Xue's character. Let's meet again in five days." Qu Laosan said and took Xue Ming down the mountain, and the two parted in the small village.

Qu Laosan went home to make preparations. Xue Ming continued to take the photos to the nearby village chief to inquire about Li Chuanying's whereabouts. The answer he got was that he had never seen this person before.

Late at night, he quietly sneaked into Laozhai Village and rested in a space near Qu Laosan's house.After a dreamless night, I woke up early the next day and monitored the Qu family from God's perspective.

That was a transaction with a total value of more than [-] yuan, which was enough to make any good person take risks. Xue Ming did not believe that the other party would not engage in small tricks.

Four days later, he was disappointed. Mr. Qu didn't stay at home for three days. When he came home at night, he didn't talk about life with his wife and went straight to bed.

"Does he really want to trade honestly?" Xue Ming still didn't believe it, so he simply kept the same in response to changes and saw what tricks the other party could perform.

On the morning of the fifth day, I came to Bandit Mountain and placed 34 bags of wheat in a nearby cave, not in the agreed cave.

The distance between the two caves is only [-] meters, leaving Dahuang to guard the food. "Dahuang, you stay here and be on guard. If a stranger breaks in, shout loudly."

Rhubarb wagged its tail and rubbed its owner's calf. Xue Ming stroked its dog's head and came to the agreed cave. He took out his binoculars and looked in the direction of Laoqu Village.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the village. At [-]:[-], Xue Ming used a telescope to see their faces clearly. The leader was Comrade Qu Laosan.

The remaining four were thin, and their facial features were somewhat similar to Qu Laosan's. Xue Ming felt that they were brothers.

Five people pushed two frame trucks to the foot of the mountain. The terrain of Bandit Mountain was relatively flat and did not affect the speed of the vehicles. Xue Ming observed carefully and did not find that they were carrying weapons.

At half past eleven they arrived outside the cave. Qu Laosan laughed and said, "Brother Xue is indeed punctual and trustworthy. Let me introduce my four brothers to you."

The two hugged each other warmly. Xue Min shook hands with his four brothers and took out cigarettes from his pocket for them to smoke.

"Brother Xue, let's search him first." Qu Laosan walked up to Xue Ming generously, took out the wooden box containing gold and placed it on the ground. He stretched out his arms and asked Xue Ming to search him.

He was wearing a shabby patched cotton coat. Xue Ming started to touch his upper body, chest, arms, waist and so on.

When he touched his crotch, Qu Laosan suddenly screamed, covering his crotch with both hands and laughing, "Don't touch this place. If you touch it, your sister-in-law will fight for your life."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed out loud. Men always enjoy talking about pornographic accents. Xue Ming also smiled lightly.

"Brother Xue, search for me." Boss Qu also stood in front of Xue Ming with his arms stretched out, followed by the other three brothers.

After searching them, Xue Ming asked them to search too. When Qu Laosan touched Xue Ming's crotch, he screamed again, "Oh, brother Xue is very rich. If that little girl follows you, you will be lucky."

Everyone laughed again that the scene was very harmonious. In fact, this kind of body search was beneficial to them. The bare-handed hand-to-hand combat would definitely win them. Xue Ming was not sure that he could fight one against five with his fists.

"Brother Xue, take a look at the goods first." Qu Laosan picked up the wooden box and opened it. Qu Laosan took out the gold bars with both hands and handed them to Xue Ming for inspection.

The gold bar was still the same gold bar. Xue Ming read it carefully and put it in the box and said, "The food is in the cave over there. Let's go over there to watch the goods trade."

The air suddenly became quiet, and all the smiles on the faces of the five brothers of the Qu family disappeared. Qu Laosan even sneered, "Brother Xue, why didn't you come as promised?"

"Did you ambush a few sharpshooters in that cave and want to make dumplings for our five brothers?" Boss Qu stared at Xue Ming with squinted eyes.

The atmosphere became tense, but Xue Ming still had a calm face, "As the saying goes, be careful and sail forever. You are the one who came to me to buy food. I have the right to change the transaction location temporarily. Of course, you also have the right to terminate the transaction and we can go back to our homes."

"Haha..." The Qu brothers laughed heartily again. Qu Laosan patted Xue Ming's shoulder heavily, "This is our three-acre land. Brother Xue, please lead the way."

They are not afraid of Xue Ming's tricks. They are local snakes who are familiar with the terrain. Many caves here are connected, and outsiders don't know the mechanism at all.

When everyone came to the cave where the grain was stored, Xue Ming immediately put the rhubarb into the space, pointed to the grain bag in the cave and said, "My goods are all here, you can check them."

The eldest brother and the second child went to guard outside the cave, while the fourth and fifth children carried large scales to weigh, "Third brother, this bag is exactly 152 kilograms."

Qu Lao San took out chalk and counted on the wall. Lao Si and Lao Wu opened a grain bag and took a handful to look at it carefully. Then the two brothers poured the wheat in the bag onto the ground.

Every grain of wheat was as good as gold, clean and without any debris. They couldn't help but pinch a few grains of wheat and put them in their mouths to chew.

Qu Laosi gave a thumbs up, "It's all good food, Lao San, it's better than the food we pay for as public food."

"Brother Xue Ming is really interesting!" Qu Laosan also praised Xue Ming, and then the third and fourth brothers worked together to untie all the grain bags and pour out all the wheat.

Five thousand kilograms of wheat were poured all over the ground, the golden light was dazzling, and the Qu brothers all had smiles on their faces.

Qu Laosan held the chalk and calculated on the wall. After finishing the calculation, he laughed and said, "The total is five thousand and five kilograms. Brother Xue, are these five kilograms a fraction of a gift?"

Five kilograms of wheat is enough for a strong adult man to eat for five days. Xue Ming smiled and said, "It must be a gift. Just treat it as a meeting gift for my brothers."

"Refreshing!" Qu Laosan was very satisfied, leaving Qu Laosan outside to relax while the four brothers repacked the bags.

Thirty-four bags of wheat are easy to pour but difficult to pack. Qu Laosan smiled and said, "Brother, please help me. I will give you the money sooner if you finish loading."

Xue Ming nodded and helped, and everyone spent two hours repacking the five thousand kilograms of grain into bags. They were all sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Brother Qu, you have received the goods, please give me the gold bars." Xue Ming pointed to the box next to the hole.

"Brother, don't worry, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Qu Laosan suddenly showed a sly smile.
