The team that traded with Mengshanliao was soon organized. The merchants pushed their own wheelbarrows or carried their backs. Most of them were only carrying their own weapons and ready to set off.

This transaction only requires enough money to go with you. The situation is different from other mountain villagers around. As the largest village around, Mengshanliao has better living conditions and does not lack food to fill his stomach. He also has his own way to buy some necessities of daily necessities, so he has more demand for money.

All the gold and silver needed for this exchange were kept on Shi Lei, and there was not much in total. A single gold brick could basically be handled. Of course, the mountain goods that could be exchanged for were definitely not something that could be taken away by lightness. You can tell by looking at the attitude of the dealers.

As for the gold, it was not that he was worried about others and wanted to seize the financial power, but that the guy Daimao had never left this gold brick. If someone else held this gold brick, he might be troubled by this little guy who was so thief, and only Shi Lei, the owner, could hold it down.

The digging of the pit has not started yet, and Daimao has nothing to do during this period. In order not to let it make trouble at home, Shi Lei took him and Xiao Jin, two restless little guys, to go on this trip together.

The iron wire snake with a metallic luster was also wrapped around Shi Lei's neck, with his eyes tightly closed, and it looked like a special metal necklace. Only when the snake Xinzi occasionally sucked and spitted it, let people know that this was a living creature.

Shi Lei is still used to it and wants to keep some trump cards around him. These inconspicuous little evil stars are naturally the most suitable killer moves. If there is any accident in the transaction with Meng Shanliao, you can handle it.

Of course, generally speaking, with the strength of the merchants, it is not a big problem to destroy the entire village of Liaoren. Shi Lei is a bit of a big deal.

Who made Shi Lei always feel worried about unfamiliar people? After all, this was the first large-scale transaction between the two parties, and the other party's reputation was not very good.

After a long journey, Shi Lei and his group finally arrived in front of a village standing between the mountain passes.

On the wall of village surrounded by many thick logs, some strong men with dark skin and hair were standing, and their clothes with left-sided clothes showed their identities, holding bows and arrows and spears in their hands, and remained on alert.

In terms of steepness, this place is not much worse than Shi Lei and their valleys. It is also a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also a terrain where one man can pass by thousands of people.

The tall and thick village gate was already open, and it seemed to be welcoming Shi Lei and the others, because an elder who was already quite old was leading a few people outside waiting.

Two cute cardamom girls were chattering and laughing around the elder, and from time to time, pretty laughter like silver bells came. Unfortunately, they were using the local language from their clan, and Shi Lei could not understand what they were talking about.

The elder smiled and said to the two little girls, and they quickly calmed down, followed the others, and met with the elder's pace.

With a smile on his face that was absolutely sincere, the elder suddenly hugged the butler, patted each other's backs enthusiastically, and muttered a few words. Then the two uncles turned around together and faced Shi Lei's direction.

Seeing the butler's hand pointing at him, Shi Lei quickly stepped out of the guard group.

Before, Shi Lei had been wearing clothes similar to the guards and was mixed among them all the way. Unfortunately, there were two little things standing on his shoulders with a gaze. This low-key dress was in vain.

"It looks like it, it looks like it." The elder of the village stared at Shi Lei carefully, looked up and down for several times, and murmured.

"The head of the family is still more elegant than the past, and I can't help but be happy. I hope the head of the family will forgive me for his rudeness." The elder, who realized that he was a little abrupt, quickly calmed down and greeted Shi Lei enthusiastically. As soon as he said that, it was still in a standard Chang'an accent Chinese, and this elder was indeed not simple.

Shi Lei was really uncomfortable with the way Zou Zou spoke. He was used to the group of rude men at home and shouted in a straightforward manner. Shi Lei didn't know how to deal with this scene for a while.

"I am very lucky to be able to get the care of the elders. How can I say that I am rude? I am disturbed by the younger generation. Don't blame me." Shi Lei responded a few random words, but he still couldn't lose in terms of this temperament. As he said, Shi Lei tried hard to support his strong body.

The two little girls did not give face at all, and kept chuckling beside each other, pointing fingers at Daimao and Xiaojin.

Lei pretended to be fierce and glared at him. The rare pair of twin beautiful girls had no intention of being afraid at all. To welcome Shi Lei, he would have rolled his eyes with two pairs of identical big faces and two big grimaces.

Perhaps seeing Shi Lei's crampage, the elder reached out and took a quick lead at the right time, signaling Shi Lei to go first. As a junior, Shi Lei must be humble.

In the end, the guest followed the elder and entered the place where the meeting hall should be in the village, a relatively large sill.

"This elder is the leader of the village?" Shi Lei took this opportunity and quickly asked the butler next to him. It would be embarrassing to get the other party's identity wrong.

"He is the biggest leader around." The butler nodded affirmatively.

"Then why is he so polite? Logically speaking, his impression of the Han people should not be very good." Shi Lei was a little confused.

"I had a lot of dealings with him a long time ago, and I'm an old friend. And now many of their things are bought by me.

You also know that if the people go to buy things, the prices given by the store will be dozens of times more expensive, and the things are still short of weight, which is not much better than those mountain people who fled their households.

I didn't make as many times as much as they did, so I naturally became warm." The butler said with a mysterious smile.

Shi Lei nodded in a clear way, turned around attentively, and chatted with this seemingly educated big-headed man. However, he did not notice the deep-minded look of the butler.

"There is nothing to be entertained in the mountains and fields. There is a bit of tea that can refresh the mind. Please ask the head of the family." The elder picked up the stone cup in his hand and signaled to Shi Lei.

"Okay." Hearing the name of tea, Shi Lei suddenly reacted.

Combined with this place name, the famous Mengding Tea in this inconspicuous stone cup should be soaked. This is a rare thing, and you can't buy tributes even if you have money in the future.

More importantly, Shi Lei thought of the beautiful money for such things. How did the name of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road come from? It’s not because this kind of thing is too attractive to everyone.

Especially for those nomads who are used to eating meat, this thing is the lifeblood. It doesn’t feel distressed if you exchange cattle and sheep for food, or even treasures and horses for food.

Thinking of this, Shi Lei's hands were almost trembling with excitement.
