Zhu Da's words made the two people following him a little confused. From now on, everyone has been talking about business in a friendly manner, and they have laughed most of the time on their faces. Why is Zhu Da so cruel to say it?

Confused, surprised, Li He and Zhang Jinbei believed what Zhu Da said, from the time they met, this person younger than them had not missed it. He said that, that would definitely be the case. The two nodded solemnly and accelerated their pace at the same time.

The caravans heading south and north had a lot of silver in their hands. Trucks of goods were unloaded and delivered, and the money was paid in the money. The young hired workers who helped carry the goods were a little stunned. They didn't see much copper coins since childhood, but now they looked at the silver light, as if the gold, silver and treasure goods were not worth much.

With Zhu Da's previous sentence, Li He and Zhang Jinbei's enthusiasm was much worse. They were somewhat wary of the caravans. If they were careful, they could see the details. The people in the caravan who came to carry the goods were looking at their four big cars in the busy intervals. They looked carefully and had already passed the level of curiosity. Occasionally, their eyes met, and the eyes of these people made people feel palpitations.

The other hired workers couldn't feel that they were busy working hard, but Zhou Qingyun sat aside, looking indifferently at the crowd coming and going. Seeing Zhou Qingyun's performance and looking at Zhu Da's smile, Li He and Zhang Jinbei were much more stable again.

After the delivery was completed, the money received was put into a leather pocket and placed side by side with the seized thieves' assets on the first big cart. Ji Xiaodong was staying in the big cart. However, after Zhou Qingyun brought it back, Zhu Da never went to see it. Li He and Zhang Jinbei admired this very much, and felt that if they had changed themselves, they would probably not be able to help but open the count.

After finishing the business, the sun was about to set. Zhu Da was not idle. He bought a sheep from other caravans. The caravans heading south and north went to Datong border town were used to bringing a flock of sheep with food and supplies. If they didn't eat and use it before leaving, they would sell it. It was more convenient than buying pork or something. Every family brought it with them, and giving Zhu Da one was nothing.

Only Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were able to do the work of killing sheep. Zhou Qingyun took a short knife to work. The young hired workers were eager to go over to help, but Zhu Da called them to stop them. They didn't even let go of the handlebars that were resting. They picked up the long and short wooden guns and walked out of the yard to start practicing.

The four big trucks were empty, so they looked for some grass everywhere to put the wooden boards and put them on. The employees shouted and put the big trucks into frames, then used wooden guns to set up the guarding posture. Then Zhu Da ordered again, and the employees were rushing to put the short wooden gun on the spear thrower, and put the straight and projected it out.

The sky was still there, and the various courtyards had not yet closed their doors to rest. The excitement that Zhu Da and the others had made attracted many people to see. Compared with other 20-30-year-old knives in other caravans, Zhu Da and the others looked very immature from top to bottom. Watching them dance and perform, many people had contemptuous smiles on their faces, as if they were watching children play.

Zhu Da shouted and issued an order, the hired workers gathered or scattered, the carts opened and closed, the wooden guns were raised at the flat end, and the spears were thrown out roaring. It was indeed very lively. Their drills were not worth mentioning in Zhu Da's eyes, and they could not even reach the point of "being good-looking", but in the eyes of outsiders, they were not completely scattered, and some were regulated.

What really touches people is the effect of throwing the spear. The distance between the open space between the yards is limited. If the spear is thrown out, it is probably about to hit the wall built by adobe bricks. However, the spear made of sharpened wooden sticks can be stuck on the hard wall, and it looks like one or two inches. Moreover, the hired workers will not finish it once, and they will project one after another, whistling and whistling.

The hired workers were very excited when they projected a short wooden gun, just like they were showing off in front of outsiders, but the faces of the onlookers went from being disregarded to being cautious at the beginning, looking back and forth, constantly exchanging eyes, and finally returning to the base silently.

Over the years, in addition to improving martial arts skills, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun have also improved their cooking skills a lot. The sheep was quickly cooked and the sheep's blood was put in the clay pot without any waste. The meat, bones, internal organs and other things were all disposed of in a classified manner and placed on a clean tarpaulin. After the hired workers returned, they immediately came to help, but not everyone came, and there were eight people and the handlebar guards next to the cart.

After entering the yard, the Wei family caravan had different attitudes. The men with swords were obviously a little wary in their expressions. However, Wei Daibei and a friend rushed over, and the guy was still carrying a jar.

"Brother Zhu, I'll send you a jar of wine to you. This is the good wine produced in Fenzhou. When we go out and do business, we are the first. We don't have too many things to bring, so we can only give you these. When I return to Fenzhou, I'll send you some good things." Wei Daibei's words and attitude were much closer than just now.

Seeing Zhu Da thanking him with a smile, Wei Daibei was in a good mood and said, "You may not bring all the ingredients for cooking. If you lack anything, go to me to get it."

When traveling outside, many times, you have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, just like living outside. For those who came out for the first time like Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, you may not be fully prepared. Wei Daibei was kind-hearted. Zhu Da smiled and refused, but left Wei Daibei for dinner here and was in the courtyard. He had such kindness just now, and the response was always the right.

Wei Daibei happily agreed to the invitation, but arranged for the fellow to go back to pick up the things. After saying a few words, he stopped in amazement. He only saw a few people next to the pot opening a few small jars and paper bags, putting various onions, ginger, garlic and seasonings in it, and even dried fish. As the hot soup rolled in the pot, the fishy smell in the air quickly turned into an attractive fragrance.

"Brother Zhu, you are really particular." Wei Daibei said with a wry smile.

Zhu Da waved his hand with a smile. His habit of paying attention to this diet has been going on until now. In fact, he has not eaten anything good. He is nothing but meticulously cooked with home-cooked meat and vegetables. Of course, the things he made will not be too bad after more than twenty years of experience and the experience of these three or four years. However, for the caravans that endure hardships, they are a bit extravagant.

Blanch the mutton and the internal organs before putting them in the pot, then cut them into thin slices, and then put them in after adding the soup with the mutton bones to a boil. Next, there are various seasonings, and even wild onions and vegetables picked temporarily outside the yard, which can remove the fishy smell and increase the fragrance. When the sun sets and the sunset is filled with the sky, the soup can be ready to be released.

There were more than twenty people eating. The war started this morning, and the life and death scene passed. When they arrived at their destination in the afternoon, their business was smooth. This supper was like a reward. Each hired mutton soup in the wooden bowl was full of meat, but the soup was not much. Everyone held the cakes and several people gathered around a plate of pickled vegetables and feasted. They were happily eating and could lick them again after they finished eating.

"It's only half an hour, why did you make such milky white soup? I've eaten mutton soup when I was idle in Fenzhou. If it's so good, it's almost stewed on low heat for two or three hours." Wei Daibei, who was left with rice, was amazed. This performance made Zhu Da trust his description a little more. In the past few days, people who can think about their diet will not be bad.

"It's not difficult to make white soup, just add fish in, but the fish must be cleaned up, frying it in oil, or without water vapor." Zhu Da explained that this is not hidden.

These words made Wei Daibei squint over for a long time, and after taking a sip of soup, he said in confusion: "I'm not afraid of my brothers blaming me. It should be that my brothers are not from wealthy families, but his words and deeds seem to be from a mansion, which is really strange."

Zhu Da judged Wei Daibei's reason, and was also judged by the other party. Wei Daibei did not bother him. After seeing the employees who were happily rewarded not far away, he said slowly: "I originally wanted to call Brother Zhu and Brother Wei's team to gather together to make a bunch of people, or wait for the people from other families to come over, and come out to protect Brother Zhu with the face of the Wei family, and be able to sell a favor. I never thought that Brother Zhu was carrying such a team, but it made Brother Wei's plan fail. Brother Zhu, you may not understand what I mean..."

"Thank you for your care, Brother Wei, there are so many men riding horses and knives. In addition to carving out the caravan, it is common to make money by seeing someone suitable for the right move. Anyway, on the way away from the city, people are slaughtered, buried, or gnawed by wild animals, and it is easy to destroy corpses and traces, without any consequences. Zheng FamilyMart has been destroyed, and the old rules are gone, and the swords are fast is the new rules. I have made more money, and I am single and lonely. Of course, I will be targeted by others. I do business with a smile during the day, and I will take away the money at night. I will have both wealth and goods. Don't everyone think so?" Zhu Da replied with a smile.

Wei Daibei's face changed with Zhu Da's remarks. After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment before he recovered. He said sincerely: "Brother Zhu is really a talent. When I have this incident, I must visit Huairen County and be a long-term friend."

After saying this, Wei Daibei reacted and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhu, I didn't think about any bad thoughts when I traded with you. Our Wei family has always been in a regular manner in doing things, and it is clear that if you do business according to the rules, you can't make a fortune, but you can do it for a long time. If you look at it in a year, you will definitely be better than it in ten years."

Zhu Da did not respond to the other party's defense, but just said with a smile: "If you didn't have the intention to get it back, everyone might not be so happy when bargaining, but everyone also thought that they couldn't get it back, so they had to bargain with me."

He thought about the cause and effect so clearly. Wei Daibei was full of righteousness when he heard Zhu Da say this, he opened his mouth and closed it. Finally, he laughed and said, "The Wei family also did these things, but you must be sure of them. Don't people know that they just haven't done them before?"

Zhu Da laughed out loud. Wei Daibei's words and deeds are really straightforward, but it is not a rash move. It is unknown whether we can meet each other in the future. If we really want to make friends, we are the best attitude. Wei Daibei's position is not well grasped, but the method used is simple and effective. Zhou Qingyun, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but grin, and the hint of embarrassment on Wei Daibei's face was also disappearing from laughing, and then he laughed.

It took no time to eat cakes and drink soup, and no one touched the good wine sent by the jar. After Wei Daibei finished eating, he said goodbye with a smile. Zhu Da stood up and greeted him and sat back.

At this time, we should have been preparing to rest, but the caravan of the Wei family was actually busy. The carts and animals parked in the yard were re-arranged. There seemed to be more people on duty inside and outside. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were watching quietly.

"We are still worried that something will happen to the night, so we must be careful." Zhou Qingyun packed up his bow and arrow and said slowly.

"Not only are we worried about something happening tonight, but we are also giving us bad intentions towards them." Zhu Da said with a smile.

This made Zhou Qingyun put down the weapons in his hand and looked at them. He stared for a while and said, "Zhu Da, why do you have so much thoughts? Not to mention Master Yuan, even Mr. Qin would not have so many twists of you. It's only been less than a month, why did you become like this?"

"I originally wanted to be a filial son, practice martial arts and defend himself, make a fortune, and live a good life, but if the world does not allow him, he can only circle around and not be eaten by others, and he can only eat others." Zhu Da did not turn his head, but still looked at the direction of the Wei family caravan and said with a smile, but if someone observes carefully, he will find that under the flames, Zhu Da's expression is a little stiff.

The two of them fell silent and just quiet for a moment, but looked outside at the same time. With the remaining skylight, they could vaguely see the soil enclosure that Zheng Jiaji had not yet collapsed. After looking silent for a while, Zhu Da said, "The houses of the Qin family and Master Yuan have been destroyed. We just took Tibetan silver last time and went back to see them tomorrow. I'm afraid we won't see them in the future."

Zhou Qingyun nodded and said in a muffled voice: "There should be an epidemic now, but I still have to go back and have a look."

The Zheng Family was destroyed, and most of the thousands of people inside and outside the encirclement were killed and injured, and no one went to clean up the body. If it weren't for setting fires in the chaos, I'm afraid that the rotten stench would be smelled outside the encirclement at this moment. The water cannot be drunk here for a few years, and the crops planted cannot be eaten. But after all, the fire has no purpose. Many corpses have not been incinerated. Now they have rotten and smelly. In fact, they can be smelled vaguely when they get close. This is also the reason why Zhu Da felt that this time the business was only once. The caravans and others are experienced, so they will definitely not regard this place as a foothold next time.

I went in tomorrow to see it. It was the two of them who remembered and commemorated it. After that, there was no special relationship here except passing by. Three years of growth and the opportunity to turn things around will be buried in my heart tomorrow.

"You go to bed first, and watch in the second half of the night." Zhu Da said.

"Can you stand it after being tired for a day?" Zhou Qingyun asked.

"I just can't sleep. I'm doing such a business that makes a lot of money by buying low and selling low. It's the first time I've been doing it. I've bet right and I'm so excited that I can't sleep." Zhu Da smiled again on his face.

As night fell, the yards, which were not very noisy, quickly became quiet. This was not the destination. Everyone came here to have enough rest. No matter how hard they came, the road ahead would be, but not everyone in each caravan went to bed. Some people were on guard at night. When they went out, the caravan not only had to guard against the bandits, but also against each other. Sometimes it was even more terrible to walk with them.

The same is true for the Wei family caravan in the same yard as Zhu Da. In fact, the Wei family caravan is more cautious than in the afternoon. Almost half of them are on duty, and the focus is on Zhu Da and the others. The night is quiet and boring, and the howling of the wolf and the screams of the beasts around them has never stopped.

"So much human flesh has attracted all the wolf."

"You said we are too arrogant to see that group of country barbarians. They dare to come out to show off in twenty years. Master Jiu sent more people. Do you want us to make the night... "

"Don't think about it. If you really want to do something, half of the casualties may not be able to be eaten."

"Are you telling a joke if you are not even half-baby with hair?"

"I didn't see those wooden guns. You think you could not penetrate you if you were thrown over. If you look at these fires, you can take care of them inside and outside. No matter who moves around, you can see them after twenty steps. I'm afraid that the wooden guns will be thrown over in these twenty steps!"

Some people can understand Zhu Da and his friends' arrangements. Under the illumination of several bonfires, they can see the on-duty workers, the young people who are all focused. When they think of the situation of shooting spears in the afternoon, they feel that they cannot be underestimated.

It was fine in the first half of the night, but it was difficult to stand it in the second half of the night. After all, my body and spirit experienced too many fluctuations during the day. Fortunately, Zhu Da arranged a shift change, and the hired workers who could no longer hold on to wake up their companions who had fallen asleep first, and then went to bed at home. The few pieces of felt that Zhu Da changed back had not been cut. It was not crowded when he slept on it. There were felts to isolate the cold air on the ground, and everyone slept comfortably with the clothes.

After Zhou Qingyun woke up, he walked around the open space surrounded by a large cart. Although he was carrying a bow and arrow, his movements were very light, and he did not wake up the person who had fallen asleep. Zhu Da was lying in a big cart, but he was not asleep. He just lay down and stared at the sky in a daze. The surroundings became quieter and the screams of wild beasts gradually disappeared. All he could hear was the coughing of night people on both sides and the crackling and explosive sound of the burning fire. However, the sound did not appear noisy, but made the night quieter.

In such quietness, the subtle sound is easily noticed, and no matter how light the footsteps are, they will be heard. However, at this time, the sleeping person is sleeping heavily, and the sleeping person is dozing, and may not be able to pay attention to it...

Among the people on duty in the Wei family caravan, there were many people who were sleeping. The breeze blew and the cold on their bodies was slightly awake, but they found that the experienced companions around them were staring at some place and looking in the direction. Under the light of the fire, someone appeared on the wall. This scare made the whole person wake up, but he didn't know how to make a sound, so as not to offend irrelevant people. The Wei family caravan could protect themselves. Since the small team was unwilling to be together, they should bear the consequences.

Almost at the same time as this reaction, I heard a "whoosh" roar through the air and another shrill scream.
