Chapter 247: The Cattleman

After hearing Xiao Yu's instructions, Zhou Jun hurried to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Mu Liutian is much better now than before, so he went back to his room to wear clothes. After all, April is still very cold in this mountain, and Xiao Yu was so heartbroken.

When a group of Taoists saw that Xiao Yu could easily cure Mu Liutian's rubella, they couldn't help but show admiration. Some of them knew about this thing, but the matter was not up to them. Moreover, they just took the opportunity to test what skills did this group of Maoshan disciples have?

An old Taoist stood behind, looked up and down at Xiao Yu, and then whispered, "This little guy has some skills, he is not panicked when encountering things, and looks pretty good."

"What's so strange about treating rubella? This is to deal with red-haired zombies. It's not as simple as treating rubella. I don't really like them. They are all too young. Even if I started practicing since I was a child, I have only been over ten years now. What can I do?"

"That's right, let alone he offended Master Yang now. You don't know that Master Yang is the one who will be revenge. This kid beat him in front of us. This revenge will be avenged sooner or later. We should not get involved with them, so as not to cause trouble."

Xiao Yu had already returned to the room with Mu Liutian at this time, so naturally he didn't know that those Taoists had slowly alienated them.

"Xiao Yu, what is this thing? Why haven't I ever been able to do it before?" Mu Liutian shrank under the quilt and said with a look of fear.

"Rheumatism is urticaria. This kind of thing is not contagious and will cause illness from time to time, especially in some dirty places in the environment, which will appear! People with poor skin will often suffer from this disease, so you have to pay attention to it yourself."

Xiao Yu explained it to several people and distributed the cake he bought to him. After a while, the cake became a little cold, so it was not as delicious as before, but the taste was still good and very chewy.

Everyone sat in the room for a while. The landlord had already prepared breakfast. Then they went out to have dinner together, and everyone shouted to go shopping together.

"Dear masters, we are relying on the mountains to eat, so there is a lot of wild game. If you want to buy wild game, go to the river dam behind the town. There are hunters in the mountains everywhere. If you want to buy herbs, go to the land temple in the west of the town."

The landlord stood at the door and gave everyone a warm introduction, then continued, "I bought wild game, I will process it for free for everyone, so I will definitely let everyone eat it."

In the inns in the town, there are usually not many people coming to live in. Even if you rent a house, there are some mountaineering people or businessmen who buy cows to live in! There are very few people living in a house at the same time. This is better than during the Chinese New Year, so the landlord is happy all day long and is happier now than ever.

"Is there any bear paws sold? I heard that there are bears in your mountains?" a Taoist said hello.

"There is no bear paw, it's a protective animal. If you eat it, you will go to jail." The landlord smiled, but the expression on his face betrayed him!

Bears are indeed protected animals, but the mountains are high and the waters are far away, especially under the mountains, some wild game will also be traded secretly. Of course, this bear is also one of them.

After hearing this, Xiao Yu and his friends became interested. Whether it was wild game or medicinal materials, these things were rare in the city, so now they all wanted to feast their eyes and see what they were selling.

As soon as the few people walked a hundred meters on the street, they saw a team that dared to beef and walked out of the mountain road. One person in front was pulling a cow with two horns. The cow looked very strong. There was a bamboo tube on the rope that pulled the cow. The bamboo tube was more than two meters long, and one was held in the man's hand.

Behind the cow, more than twenty cows followed one by one, like a team preparing for inspection, began to appear on the streets of the town, and behind the herd, one person was following, driving the herd from time to time.

Xiao Yu looked at the man pulling the cow and couldn't help but whisper, "Why are you wearing a bamboo pole on this cow rope?"

Old Bai on the side smiled and said, "This bamboo pole is very useful. Generally, this kind of cow likes to hurt people. People dare not get close to them, so they will wear bamboo poles. When the cow gets closer, they will hit it, or push the bamboo pole to the ground, and the cow will not be able to come to you. This is a common method used by people in the mountains."

Xiao Yu nodded in a vague way, and Zhou Jun, who was on the side, hurriedly said, "Where did they buy so many cows? Are you not afraid of walking in the mountains?"

"Why aren't you afraid? There are blind bears everywhere in the mountains. If you are not lucky, you will die if you encounter them."

"In this barren mountain, sometimes there is no one on the mountain road for dozens of miles, just a small road, with weeds and shrubs on both sides wrapping the road inside, and trees cover the sky and sun, and even standing inside, you can't see the sun. Are you afraid?"

Lao Bai seemed to know these things very well, and said it casually, then sighed, "These are all miserable people. If you make a difference, you won't have much money!"

"Why do you have to buy beef in the mountains? Just buy meat and eat it?" Mu Liutian said speechlessly.

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and immediately said, "Where does the meat come from without beef? Many of the meat you eat in the city are imported from abroad. Some of them have been left for three or four years. If you change the label, you will continue to sell it to you. They are all zombie meat. How can you eat this kind of beef?

"Yes, these cattle were raised by farmers in Bashan. When animals were raised, they could not get them to the city to sell them, so this kind of cattle driver's life was promoted. Cattle drivers drove twenty cattle at a time and had to walk in the mountains for half a month. Sometimes they could only come out once a month, earning thousands of dollars to support the family, so it was very hard."

Xiao Yu nodded, and couldn't help but feel respectful, respecting the spirit of the cattle-driver. They traveled in the mountains all year round, walking alone in the mountains, and uninhabited for dozens of miles. This kind of perseverance is not comparable to ordinary people.

The cattle driver walked past Xiao Yu and others in a swaying manner. Although he looked a little tired, his face was full of joy. As soon as the few people walked not far, one of them came forward. Then the two of them held each other in their hands and shook their hands back and forth, and then the man shook his head and left.

"What are they doing?" Mu Liutian asked.

"Compare prices, this is the rule in the industry. You can't let others see the code." Lao Bai said with a smile, and then continued to walk forward with Xiao Yu and others.

"Old Bai, you said that the cattle driving people run in the mountains every day and should be very familiar with this place. If we ask them to be our guide, will we be more likely to find the seniors of the fox clan?"

Xiao Yu whispered beside Lao Bai, then said, "Besides, they know more farmers in the mountains. If we ask them to join us, we might not be hungry."

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Lao Bai thought that some reason was that the cattle driver was very familiar with the farmers in Bashan and knew that those roads could be taken and those roads were not feasible. It was indeed much better to be with them than to be with those Taoists.

"This idea is good. With such a person around you, the probability of success is indeed much higher. If you go shopping with them later, I will discuss with the cattle driver to see if it can be negotiated."

If you bring more two more people, the cost will definitely be high, and the consumption on the road will also increase. However, Xiao Yu doesn't care. He has some food. As long as the cattle driver can go with him, he is willing to pay for the money he has.
