    Dalang and the others have been out for five days. They have not stopped along the way. The mountains are getting bigger and bigger, and the roads are getting more and more desolate.  Because it was still early spring and the trees and flowers had not had time to grow wildly, otherwise they might not even be able to touch the path.  I can only walk blindly through the mountains.

    After leaving the Hu family, the four of them walked for another two days and one night. It was almost afternoon on the third day, and Jiang Dashan and Mr. Xie were almost disappointed.  Finally, I saw a small piece of farmland in the east and a small piece of farmland in the west on the hillside not far away.

    Xie Sanbo breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "If someone is farming, there must be someone nearby."

    "Well. There is finally hope." Jiang Dashan said.

    The four people continued to move forward, passing through long downhill roads, and then turned a big bend, and their eyes suddenly became brighter.

    Dalang excitedly pointed to the smoke not far ahead and said, "Hey, there seems to be someone's house over there."

    "Yes, if there is smoke, you can still meet people even if there is no one else. Let's be careful and look for them first." Jiang Dashan said excitedly.

    He was afraid that after being out for so many days, he would gain nothing and have to bring back four people. It would be good if the three families in Luwei Village could take care of themselves. If there were four more people, not to mention anything else, the rations alone would be a big problem.  question.

    The four of them continued moving forward excitedly, and finally discovered a village.  Rows of low, dilapidated thatched yellow mud houses are hidden among big trees and bamboos. It is obvious at a glance that this village is not very wealthy.

    The four people riding tall horses attracted the attention of the whole village as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village.  It's almost time to make dinner again, and most people in the village are at home.  Children were playing and laughing at the door, the whole village was buzzing with people, and it was quite lively with people coming and going.

    Xie Sanbo brought Dalang to the village, leaving Mr. Xie and Jiang Dashan to guard the four horses.

    The children looked at them curiously. Xie Sanbo asked a few children who were playing, "Who is the chief of your village? Is he at home?"

    "The village chief is here." A boy with a runny nose pointed at a middle-aged and elderly man who was walking quickly towards this side not far away and said.

    "I'm passing by your village, excuse me." Xie Sanbo hurried over and started talking to the village chief.

    "It is rare for outsiders to come to our poor village. Where are the guests coming from? What are they here for?" The village chief is about fifty years old. He looks very kind, but also very shrewd, and even vaguely afraid of them.  , after all, they are riding horses, and they are not ordinary villagers at first glance.

    "We came from the south and have been walking for several days and nights. We also found two wild boars and some wild rabbits in the mountains. I wonder if your village has any extra food that can be exchanged for us." Xie Sanbo said.

    While they were talking, many people had gathered around them. There were old farmers who had just returned from the fields with hoes and baskets, and there were also married women and young girls. There were quite a few men and women.  Dalang took a rough count just now and found that there were about twenty households in this village. It seemed that the population was quite large.  Counting only five people in a family, there are over a hundred people.  If you think about it, this village can be considered a big one.

    ¡°Our village is poor, and we don¡¯t even grow enough grain to eat, so we don¡¯t have any extra.¡± The village chief said bluntly, there is no food.

    "That's right, every household relies on wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger at this time of year. How can there be any extra food?" said several young people who had plenty of food to eat.

    ¡°Then there should be a lot of bamboo utensils in your village, right?¡± Dalang asked.  There are thick bamboos everywhere here. I guess there are people who know how to make bamboo utensils.

    "Everyone in our village can weave some bamboo chairs and bamboo baskets. Do you want them?" the village chief asked.

    Everyone also looked at them eagerly, hoping that they would want it.  These bamboo wares are not valuable. Although they produce bamboo here, they cannot sell it because of the inconvenience. Every year, caravans only come to buy some, but the prices are extremely cheap. Adults are just making a living by handicrafts.  Just money.  However, precisely because of these bamboos, life in their village is slightly better than in other villages.

    ?????????????????????????????? All year round, it doesn¡¯t depend entirely on those acres of mountain fields.  Therefore, everyone cherishes these bamboos very much and keeps the craftsmanship of weaving bamboo wares very secret.

    "Can we trade wild boar meat with you?" Xie Sanbo asked.

    Everyone looked happy, and the village chief pondered for a moment and agreed.  The villagers cheered, and the village chief asked a few children to let Jiang Dashan and others enter the village.

    Jiang Dashan and Mr. Xie slowly led four horses into the village. Two of the horses had a tightly tied wild boar tied to their backs, and one horse had two baskets hanging on them, with a bunch of wild rabbits tied in the baskets.  The rabbits and wild boars were both alive, but their mouths were tied.

    Seeing wild boars and wild rabbits, many people looked envious.The selling price at that time was much better.  Although the caravan gave them silver, the price was extremely low. Besides, these were defective goods left behind after the caravan purchased them.  Caravans are businessmen and are very picky.  They won't buy anything even slightly defective, or they will keep the price so low that no one wants to sell it at all.

    After the business was completed, Dalang asked them for a few bundles of dried old bamboo shoot leaves, which were very useful as ropes. When the village chief saw him asking for ropes, he took a bundle of straw ropes from home and said, "Take this and tie it up."  , better to use."

    "Thank you." Dalang took it and thanked him.  In fact, it can be seen from the expressions of the villagers that they have lost money on this business today.  However, they didn't intend to make much money from these wild animals, they just used them as an excuse.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
