otherworldly happiness

In this small town, Li Jian realized the poverty and backwardness here. There are not many carriages and horses on the road, and many people on the road wear leather clothes. Don’t think that they are rich, but because they can’t afford cloth, so they put There are bad leathers that cannot be sold at a high price, and some are made of bone needles and thick twine, which are quite rough.

However, remoteness also has its advantages. At least the chaos in the north will not affect this place. After all, if you go from here to the northern country, you have to go over several uninhabited mountains for thousands of miles. It is too dangerous, so it is better to go. Another road to the north of Jiangcheng, it is easier to walk there, and there are some people along the road.

The leather prey here is worthless, but it is several times worse than in a big city like Jingzhou City. Even Jiangcheng is twice as poor. Caravans come to buy them. If they go out and walk for more than ten days, it is dangerous and uneconomical.

A strong laborer is busy hunting. Collecting herbs, and going to the mountains as a visitor in autumn, which is enough to feed the family and not go hungry. When you see some bows and arrows on their backs, they are still made by themselves. If they are not standard, don’t say , Some of the arrowheads are not iron arrowheads, some are made of bone or wood, even the hardest iron wood is not as sharp as iron arrowheads.It can be seen how backward and remote it is here.

Mr. Liu and the general went to inquire about the harvest of the participants this year, and they were asked to rest for two days, but they were not allowed to leave the town or cause trouble, so they were allowed to move freely.

Li Jian strolled around the town with them and learned about the prices. They still made a lot of money. The things he bought were cheaper in Jiangcheng due to the large quantities. Here, the rare things are the most expensive, so they can be sold directly. It can be doubled if you give it to the store. If you exchange some leather in the hands of the mountain people, the profit will be several times higher if you bring the mountain goods back. I am confident.

There are not many regular shops here, basically these hundred or ten households all know what they do, such as who makes iron, who is a grocery store, who sells grain, etc. After all, surrounded by mountains, the houses It is quite solidly built with stones and large wood, and the house is surrounded by high walls, unlike the facade houses in the city, where the door is directly outside.

As long as a caravan comes to the town, it will be spread to every household in a while. Those who live in the town are basically connected with more than a dozen villages below. Who doesn't have a relative or friend?

If you have something you want to sell, it’s not easy to come and ask. After all, you don’t know what the caravan collects, and the money is not revealed. What if someone sees what you sold that is worth a lot of money? manage.

Therefore, if there are things you want to sell, you will hang them at your door, and the caravan will send people to buy or exchange them with the things.Generally, a small piece of leather is hung, which means there is good leather to sell, and a piece of grass means that there are herbs. A few mushrooms are mountain products. Those who are valuable or eager to sell something also come to ask, and some go to the village below. Collect it and sell it to you, of course, you can also collect it yourself.

The most important thing is that the folk customs here are tough, you must not deceive you, otherwise no one will sell you, and you may do something, and seeing blood is considered unlucky for you. After all, it is normal for them to hide in the mountains where you can find them. The transaction can still be guaranteed, who would dare to come if this goes wrong.Then they will be in trouble, and the things they use will be useless.

This is the news I found out in the past two days. When you come to a new place, it is always better to inquire about it. I have eaten soup and pancakes in the inn for two days. I have eaten enough. I just came out to find a place where no one is around Space for a good meal.

In an alley, I saw a person walking slowly while leaning on the wall. He was wearing a worn-out leather jacket and looked young from the back. He was about the same height as me. I couldn’t tell whether it was a boy or a brother. He seemed injured. I felt The weak ones couldn't walk.

Seeing the person like this, Li Jian remembered the days when he was starving when he first came here, and saw that the person was about to fall, so he went to help him,

Asked "Are you okay, where is your injury, where is your home, I will take you home"

The other party looked up at him, then lowered his head to support the wall and walked forward silently, without saying anything, and without letting the other party support him, at this moment he heard a "grunt", Li Jian felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this I remembered that I still had a mouthful of porridge when I was hit by the disaster anyway, it was because I was hungry for a few days and couldn't walk.

Li Jian helped the other party to sit down, the other party didn't want to sit but was hungry for a few days, there was his opponent there, he helped him to sit down, put his hand into his arms (actually it was in the space) and took it Come out with a piece of cake and pass it to him

"Eat something, don't be disgusted",

The other party glanced at the pancake, licked the corner of his lips and said nothing,

Li Jian put the pancakes in his hand, "Eat it, I'm not a bad person, I'll have strength after eating it." After speaking, he broke a piece and took two bites. Mmm, the taste is good, as expected of the food produced in the space. It's delicious.

The other party looked up at Li Jian, then lowered his head and started to eat, Li Jian saw his appearance clearly, he was still a little brother, usually pretty and handsome, his eyes were Danfeng eyes, when he looked at Li Jian, he saw tears inside , looks young, about the same age as Li Jian, but he looks quite tall, which is not good according to the standards of this world. His face is not beautiful enough, his skin is dark and thick, and his height is still a bit tall, but Li Jian Jian felt very comfortable, much more pleasing to the eye than those transvestites.

No one thought that this glance was actually the beginning of their fate.

Just as Li Jian was watching the other party eating pancakes, and was about to ask if he wanted some water, the door of a house next to him suddenly opened, and a brother in his 30s came out and saw them sitting and standing one by one. Here, he immediately said, "Hey, little brother of the Wu family, I didn't go hunting today, and I hooked up with someone here again, hey, he's still a stranger, why do you want to go with him?"

Before Li Jian could react, he heard that brother say something. When the little brother who was sitting and eating pancakes heard this, he wanted to stand up anxiously, but he fell to the ground. Li Jian didn't have time to hold him back. The other party looked up and saw that he was already fainted.

Now there is no way, so I had to say to the brother, "This sister-in-law, do you know where his home is, I will send him back"

Seeing his anxious look, the other party said, "If you send her back, I'm afraid it will kill her." After finishing speaking, she went back and closed the door tightly.

Li Jian yelled twice and no one paid attention to him, so he had no choice but to hug the little brother horizontally, and was about to go back to the inn to let Mr. Liu show him, but when he picked him up, he realized that the person who was more than 1.7 meters and close to 1.8 meters was so light. It weighs a hundred catties, and when he saw that he was fainting and didn't let go of the half pancake, I suddenly felt sore and uncomfortable. I couldn't tell what it was like, so he left in a hurry. And I didn't see the brother who was talking, saw him carrying someone away, and he was relieved behind the door.

On the way, Li Jian didn't pay attention to the strange eyes that others saw him holding this brother, and hurried back to the inn. Mr. Liu hadn't come back yet, and he couldn't put them in the Datong shop where they slept. After all, a group of men lived together , he could only find Sun Momo at the inn, and asked if there were any vacant rooms, Sun Momo asked, then came to the place where the brother was temporarily put, took a look and said

"I guessed it was him. It's a good thing you met him, otherwise...you wait a minute, there are no vacant rooms now. I will vacate my grandson's east wing room for you, which is better than you guys. It’s smaller, but it’s enough to sleep alone.” Sun Meme finished speaking and went out

Li Jian saw that the little brother's lips were dry and peeling, and remembered that the other party had eaten such a dry piece of pancake, so he picked up the cup on the table against the wall, poured a glass of warm water, and helped him up to sit on his arms Li Jian slowly fed him the water in the cup, it seemed that it was dry, even if he was in a coma, he drank the cup of water instinctively, Li Jian didn't dare to feed him more, so he let him lie down and rest Yes, go out by yourself to see how Sun Momo is cleaning up. After all, if the comrades come back and see a little brother lying in the room, it will be difficult to talk.

When Li Jian helped clean up the room, he heated up the kang. When he returned to the room, he found that the little brother had woken up and was looking around in a daze. When he saw Li Jian coming in, he hurriedly wanted to sit up , only to realize that the pancake in his hand was still in his hand, and immediately blushed with embarrassment.

When Li Jian saw that he was about to sit up, he thought he was scared, so he said quickly, "Don't be afraid, this is the inn in the town, you should know, this is not the only one, I just saw you fainted, I don't know where your house is. Where did I bring you back?"

"Um"

Li Jian saw that the little brother replied, although it was only one word, but he knew that he was not dumb, so he continued, "A doctor who came with us will come back later, let him show you, don't get up first, okay I still don't know your name."

The little brother shook his head and didn't speak.

Li Jian asked, "What's the matter, tell me what's the matter. Since I met you today, I won't ignore you. You can go and live there first after you clean up the east wing, and talk about it when you recover from your illness."

Before the little brother could reply, Sun Momo came in, and after hearing Li Jian's words, he said to the little brother on the kang, "I said, little brother of the Wu family, you have met a good person today, otherwise you Lying outside, who knows what will happen, and what is it for this time."

When Li Jian saw Sun Momo coming in, he knew that the room was okay, and he could go in and live in it, so he said "I'm sorry" to the little brother of the Wu family, and then picked him up and put him on the kang in the wing room. What Sun Memo meant seemed to be that he had family members, so he was not welcome at home.

Put Brother Angus on the kang, let him lie down, and said to Sun Meme who came in, "Meme, please talk to him, I will make some porridge for him first, to warm his stomach."After finishing speaking, I went out.
