Six Hundred and Sixty-Fourth, the Fire on the Grassland
After Yan Liuyuan, Hassan and others left, Su Lei, who was parked in the distance, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. This transaction was really important to him.
What Yan Liuyuan said just now was correct, he was indeed a waste of money to gather these goods, and he even exchanged a small gold bar that he treasured.
The last gold bar on the horse bandit is always hidden in the waistband of his trousers. When his life is in danger, this gold bar is a life-saving coil on the road.
Of course, only relatively successful horse bandits can buy such a gold bar and hide it in their belts.
This small gold bar weighed about 50 grams. It was passed down from his grandfather's generation, and Su Lei took it from his father, but unexpectedly, it was finally broken by him.
The money exchanged today was Su Lei's last belongings, and all of them were replaced with medicines and iron objects. If Yan Liuyuan didn't come today, then he could only go to the market town to set up a street stall.
No one in the village understood why Su Lei was so desperate.
But to be honest, Su Lei really felt that the opening of the Northwest Trade Route was an opportunity for everyone, and it was up to him whether he could seize it or not.
At this time, the monkey-cheeked Wang Ergou next to Su Lei urged: "Brother, I observed carefully. These people didn't even carry a gun. They all used knives. We have three earthen guns here. There are many, but you don’t have to be afraid if you have a gun, so how about it, kill them.”
This person was a little jealous when he saw the furs Yan Liuyuan brought, after all, 9 out of 10 of the furs were brought back by Yan Liuyuan.
Converting that nine-tenths into money, it's almost a million!
The team of horse bandits suddenly fell silent, and Su Lei looked at Wang Ergou: "I snatched it, and then what?"
"This one million is enough for our brothers to eat and drink for a lifetime, big brother, let's do it," he responded.
Su Lei smiled: "One million is not enough for my ambition."
After finishing speaking, Su Lei led the team to the south, and their village was on the way to the northwest from the Central Plains.
On the way back, Su Lei found an opportunity to confess to Cui Qiang: "After returning to the village, find an opportunity to quietly kill Wang Ergou."
Cui Qiang stared at Su Lei in a daze. He seemed very puzzled by this decision, but in the end he didn't refute, just nodded and agreed.
Su Lei glanced at him and said with a smile: "This Wang Ergou is too capable of causing trouble. The last time he fought with the Hexi village, it was because he went to hook up with the wife of the second head of the family, but the hookup has not been successful yet. We want to go the right way in the future , this kind of person cannot be kept."
Maybe Su Lei can give Wang Ergou some money so that he can leave to earn a living, but Su Lei is worried that this kind of person will leave resentment in his heart and cause him extra problems.
Therefore, it is better to kill directly.
Su Lei is a horse bandit who licks blood with the tip of a knife to make a living. He is very polite in front of Yan Liuyuan, but he never hesitates to kill people.
Now that Su Lei wants to change his face, people like Wang Ergou must not stay.
Cui Qiang didn't say anything, he was just a thug, there was no need to think so much, and he had long since disliked Wang Ergou, so if he killed him, he would kill him.
...
It took Yan Liuyuan two days to bring Hassan back to the tribe. The horses are all fast horses, and the horses that have evolved on the grassland are like the god-moving BMWs in the stories of the storyteller. Khan was making white mist in the cold air.
The first thing Yan Liuyuan did when he returned to the tribe,
Just to trouble Miss Xiaoyu to cook a small pot of cabbage for herself.
Hassan was stunned to watch, and he found that his master had a happy smile on his face when he ate the cabbage.
"Master, is it so delicious?" Qiqige next to her watched from the side. She is Hassan's daughter, and now she spends most of the day in Yan Liuyuan's tent, which was explained by Hassan.
But when Yan Liuyuan was thinking about something, she would not disturb her, and stayed in a daze with Yan Liuyuan. Although Yan Liuyuan was in a daze for a long time each time, she didn't feel depressed.
Yan Liuyuan looked at Qiqige with a smile: "If you want to eat, you can try it."
After hearing this, Qiqige started to grab it, Yan Liuyuan smiled wryly and shook his head: "Didn't I teach you how to use chopsticks, come on, eat with chopsticks."
Qiqige looked reluctant: "Master, do you think it's too barbaric for us to eat with our hands?"
Before the catastrophe, people in the northern grasslands had already used chopsticks to eat, but after the catastrophe, it was obvious that having hands was more in line with their cultural attributes and more convenient for them.
Yan Liuyuan shook his head and said, "I asked the whole tribe to use chopsticks. Some people may think that I dislike your barbarism, but the purpose of using chopsticks is actually to clean. You don't know how many bacteria are on your hands. You also don’t have the habit of washing your hands frequently, and eat meat with your hands all year round, which is also one of the reasons why the child mortality rate in the tribe used to be extremely high.”
Qiqige suddenly remembered one thing: "By the way, the child of Berhan's family is sick, and he will be cured after taking the medicine you brought from the south. It's amazing."
Yan Liuyuan nodded and said: "Although I brought medicine back from the south this time, I still have to be careful, including my rule that everyone in the tribe can't drink raw water, and it must be boiled for drinking. This is also the reason."
Qiqige looked at Yan Liuyuan with a look of admiration: "So there are so many reasons? Master, how do you know so many things?"
As a result, Qiqige saw Yan Liuyuan's expression suddenly dimmed: "My brother taught me."
"Do you have any older brothers?" Qiqige was like a cheerful bird, but Yan Liuyuan stopped answering her questions and asked her to find her grandmother.
Qiqige understood that this meant that Yan Liuyuan wanted to be alone for a while.
But when Qiqige opened the tent, Yan Liuyuan saw someone coming from afar through the opened curtain.
He walked out of the tent and waited quietly. There were many people on the other side, and they were obviously from the Central Plains wearing black clothes.
Hassan asked, "Master, do you want to stop them?"
"Don't act rashly, tell everyone not to talk nonsense, and let me deal with it," Yan Liuyuan took a deep breath after finishing speaking. In fact, he has never dealt with people from the Central Plains. How to deal with the relationship with people from the Central Plains still needs to be solved improvise.
Gradually, the figure in the distance is getting closer and closer. The other party came on foot with a knife on his waist.
Hassan called out all the light and strong men in the tribe and stood ready.
However, when Yan Liuyuan gradually saw the flame symbol on the opponent's chest, his pupils immediately shrank.
The nearly 100 people who came to the northern grassland turned out to be from the Pyro Company!
Sister Xiaoyu looked at Yan Liuyuan a little nervously, Yan Liuyuan smiled and said: "First ask why you came here, if it's a big deal, just start fighting."
