Chapter 25 A Business
The sunset in the sky is like fire, and people are walking on the bridge, the wind is rising, and willow catkins are floating.
Hearing Liu Xiu's words, the woman in white was stunned for a moment, then her eyelashes were curved and she smiled. She turned her head and looked at Liu Xiu with her mouth covering her mouth and chuckled, "Young Master, think I'm here to trouble you?"
Isn't it?
Liu Xiu was shocked, but when he saw the other party, he seemed to be not. He was secretly sweating, and there were so many bad people in the world.
There was no embarrassing expression on her face. Liu Xiu just looked at the other party with a smile. She said she was waiting for her here, so she must have some purpose. Liu Xiu was too lazy to guess and waited for the other party to be clear.
Having said that, girls are often linked to the word trouble, right?
Seeing that Liu Xiu didn't respond, the woman was depressed for a moment and said speechlessly: "You guy..., just say it, I'm waiting for you here. I just want to ask if you have any other things like silver thread grass or ink leopard skin. I'll sell it for money."
It turned out that it was for this. Liu Xiu's thoughts flashed and probably guessed that those two things could play a role that he didn't know in the hands of people like them.
Otherwise, such a young girl would not be able to wait for her here.
Shaking his head, Liu Xiu spread his hands and said, "It's gone, it's really gone."
In fact, Liu Xiu had a silver thread plant on his body, and he didn't even know that even Lausanne had more than ten silver thread plant trees in the bamboo building in the mountains. After learning from Lausanne that it was a good thing, Liu Xiu was deliberately collecting it. This time he came out to bring one, avoiding that if the salt could not be replaced, he could only take out the silver thread plant. But he killed a black leopard halfway, and he would not have the chance to take out the silver thread plant.
At this time, Liu Xiu was not going to give the silver thread to the woman, nor would he sell the money, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Although I had long expected that Liu Xiu would not have any treasures like Silver Wire Grass, I got Liu Xiu's affirmative answer from the woman in white and was still a little disappointed.
In a little entanglement, the woman bulged her mouth slightly and said, "Do you know that the three of us in Qingliu Town originally had the same chances, but because your silver thread grass and ink leopard skin were obtained by the Tian family, our other two were absolutely passive, which was so annoying."
"Do I know something?" Liu Xiu asked blankly with his hands spread out.
Liu Xiu probably thought that the three families she mentioned should be the three families in Qingliu Town that Luosang mentioned, but the so-called opportunity and breaking the calm Liu Xiu was unknown.
It seems that the balance is tilted because of my appearance?
"Forget it, you don't understand, don't you know this, if you have something like Silver Wire Grass in the future, can I book it? Whether you bring it to the town or someone to inform me to go there in person, you will pay a price that will satisfy you. Do you think this is OK?" the girl said with a little expectation.
She actually didn't have much hope in her heart. She discussed it with Liu Xiu just for that little.
"Okay, but don't hold any hope," Liu Xiu nodded with a smile.
The other party was born from an extraordinary background at first sight, and the rare thing was that he was so polite, so Liu Xiu simply agreed. If there were any interactions in the future and the other party would not have a bad impression of herself, it would be okay to sell her a silver thread grass at that time. Anyway, there were more things to do.
But Liu Xiu was confused. Silver thread grass seemed very precious and rare, but what are the effects of that thing?
Although she was curious about this, Liu Xiu did not have the idea of eating and dying by herself, and she would always understand it in the future.
"Then let's just say that," the girl smiled.
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "It's decided. Since that's the case, let's go first and leave. We will have to walk a long way to return to the village."
After saying that, Liu Xiu smiled, then walked over the stone bridge to chase Luosang and the others who were already a little ahead.
The woman in white looked at Liu Xiu's back, thought for a while, and raised her voice slightly and said, "Remember, my name is Liu Qingqing, don't find the wrong person then."
"Remember," Liu Xiu said without looking back, and raised his right hand and shook it as he spoke.
Watching Liu Xiu walk away, Liu Qingqing withdrew her gaze and looked at the people around her and said strangely: "This person... do you feel it? He seems very different."
"Is there any? Miss thinks he is different?" A middle-aged woman holding a sword asked in confusion.
"It feels, I feel it, forget it, go home, really, if I get the silver thread grass... but... the Zhou family didn't get it either, so I'm afraid it's too anxious now..."
As people walked away, the sound gradually disappeared into the wind...
"Negotiable, isn't it okay?" Luo Shan asked Liu Xiu, who was following him with some concern.
Shaking his head, Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, what can happen? Don't worry. By the way, don't call me a noble person. I'm just an ordinary person. I can't afford such a title. It's better to call me Mr.
"Okay, expensive... Well, Mr. Liu, it's fine, it's fine. These wealthy families will cause trouble if they are not careful," Luo Shan sighed, not knowing that they evoked any unpleasant memories.
Without mentioning this, Liu Xiu changed the topic and asked: "By the way, Luoshan, are you familiar with the three families in Qingliu Town?"
"I'm not familiar with it. I just have some interactions with the servants of the Tian family when I pay taxes every year. I don't know anything else. What do you want to know?" Luo Shan shook his head and said.
"Oh, nothing, I'm just curious. Are people from the three families so high-profile, and they always carry more than a dozen guards when they go out, like this, Tian Lin, Liu Qingqing, and the young man surnamed Zhou who only meets only one person. Are they really so afraid of death?"
"Uh, it should be a matter of pomp..."
We chatted all the way, and when the moon reached the treetops, Liu Xiu and the others returned to Linbian Village. The expected robbery did not appear. I don’t know if the people who followed him saw that dozens of people gave up, but it was a good thing.
Ten trucks of grain were brought back, which immediately caused a commotion among the villagers. The villagers were simple. Although they were curious about why so much grain was brought back, most of them just waited and watched from a distance and did not make any extraordinary actions.
Liu Xiu asked the person who sent the food to unload the food in the courtyard of the Luosang family. After the person left, Liu Xiu asked Luoshan to call the old village chief and entrusted the other party to let him distribute the food to the villagers on his behalf. The most difficult families were given priority. More food would arrive in the next few days, and every family would have a share.
Liu Xiu believed that the old village chief would definitely make arrangements and leave it to him and ignore it.
When the villagers learned that the nobles who brought Lausanne out of the Cliff of Life and Death were going to give everyone food, the whole village was in sensation and did not stop until midnight.
After those families who were already in difficulty got the food first, they did not dare to disturb Liu Xiu's rest, so they kowtowed quietly at night to express their gratitude.
Liu Xiu saw this scene, which is also the reason why he did not come out to give everyone food. People are not plants and trees, so he remembers that you treat him well.
The remaining 10 or 20 kilograms of salt were left, and Liu Xiu was useless and gave it to the Luosang family directly, which gave it a little thanksgiving.
After resting for a night, another day was another day. In the morning, after Liu Xiu practiced health care, he washed up and tasted the food made by his mother in Lausanne, and then began to organize the things he bought from the town yesterday.
A set of iron-making tools, 500 kilograms of pig iron, two hatches, two kitchen knives, two axes, hoes, iron pots, cloth, crop seeds, etc.
Liu Xiu sorted it out very carefully. With these things, he could live a good life alone in the mountains. If he was bored, he could still come out and walk around. Anyway, it would be convenient to know the road, which would take one or two days.
When he saw Liu Xiu sorting out his things, the Luosang family panicked and thought Liu Xiu would leave immediately. Luosang's mother came nervously to ask if there was something that neglected his great benefactor.
Liu Xiu first comforted her and did not neglect her. After calming her nervousness, she said that she would not leave immediately, at least she had to wait until the subsequent food was completely delivered.
So the Lausanne family felt relieved.
However, Liu Xiu's actions of sorting out things actually alarmed the old village chief who came here in person.
Helplessly, Liu Xiu comforted him again, and then his heart moved, asked the village chief to sit down, organized a speech and said, "Village Chief, this is what I think. With the food I provide, the villagers should not have to worry too much about their livelihood this year, so I suggest that during this period, organize the villagers to repair the river embankment and clean up the fields, so that it will be easier to cultivate the next year."
Hearing this, the old village chief laughed and said, "Mr. Liu is kind-hearted. Meeting you is a blessing for all the villagers in Linbian Village. In fact, even if Mr. Liu doesn't say it, I will arrange for the villagers to strengthen the river embankment and clean up the fields. Country people, the fields are the lifeblood, so I can't pay attention to this. So please rest assured that anyone is lazy at that time will not kill him!"
"It's good that way," Liu Xiu said with a smile, but she was over-thinking.
Without waiting for the old village chief to say anything, Liu Xiu looked at Qingliu Town in the distance and said with peace of mind: "Old village chief, I have been here for only two days, but I have a lot of feelings. The villagers have a hard time living, even if they are busy day and night, they can only barely make a living. And half of the food they collected has to be paid for taxes..."
Hearing this, the old village chief's heart thrilled. He had a premonition and forced himself to stop Liu Xiu's words.
Then Liu Xiu continued, "So, I have an idea to teach the villagers to make a living. Although they can't be rich, they should be able to make their lives a little easier."
Hearing this, although the old village chief didn't know what Liu Xiu wanted to teach everyone what to do, he stood up excitedly and bowed to Liu Xiu with red eyes and said, "I thank Mr. Liu on behalf of all the villagers."
"If you can't do it, you can sit down, let's talk slowly." Liu Xiu immediately helped the old village chief and said hurriedly.
