They had just been blocked and robbed, and now someone was blocking the road again. How could Yun Chao and Shitou not be nervous?
What's more, the guy blocking the road had a long scar on his face, and he didn't look like a kind person at first glance.
Yun Chao became nervous and almost threw out the sharp knife in his hand.
When Shitou became nervous, he picked up the ax and was ready to do it!
When Scarface saw something was wrong, he quickly waved his hands: "You two little brothers, wait a minute, I'm not a bad person, I'm not a bad person..."
Fortunately, Shi Shi reacted quickly and stopped his hand in time, otherwise Scarface would definitely have been shot.
Yun Chao did not dare to take it lightly and pointed a bamboo gun at him: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Little... little brother, I'm really not a bad person, not a bad person. I just want to take a ride and give me a ride..."
"what is your job?"
Yun Chao still refused to give up, and even pushed the bamboo spear forward in his hand.
Scarface was startled, and while backing up, he explained: "Little brother, I want to go to Xiahe Village ahead to visit relatives. The road is muddy and difficult to walk. I would like to ask for convenience. Could you please give me a lift?"
Once he heard that the other party was from Xiahe Village, Shitou relaxed.
From Wolong Village to the county seat, you have to pass through several villages, and Xiahe Village is one of them.
Since he is a fellow nearby, there is nothing to worry about. For an honest person like Shitou, it is normal for him to help someone when he meets someone on the road.
"Second brother..."
"Do not talk!"
"Well……"
Shitou was about to say something when he was rudely interrupted by Yun Chao. His words stuck in his throat and he was extremely depressed.
If the folks in the village don't want to help, forget it. If you don't give in, you are stingy. If word spreads, won't it affect the reputation of our Wolong Village?
Moreover, he is alone and has no weapons in his hands. How can he look like a bad guy?
Even if he is a bad guy, neither of us is afraid of him!
Yun Chao's tone was better than before: "Oh, my grandpa's family is in Xiahe Village. I often went to Xiahe Village when I was a child. Why haven't I seen you?"
Shitou was stunned. When did Yun Chao's grandfather come from Xiahe Village, not Shanghe Village?
Before Shitou could react, Scarface said happily: "Great, it turns out that little brother is a relative of our Xiahe Village. Maybe it's because I'm often not in the village, so you haven't seen me when you went there!"
Yun Chao finally showed a smile: "Oh, he turns out to be one of our own. It's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. My grandfather's surname is Zhao. He lives at the end of the village in Xiahe Village. The second to last house is there. Do you know him?"
"Ah...ah ha, of course I know you. The old Zhao family at the end of the village has given birth to a beautiful daughter. People in the village say he is so lucky!"
No need for Yun Chao to say anything else, Shitou himself felt something was wrong.
Although Shitou was still very young when Yun Chao's mother passed away and didn't even have any memories, he still heard his mother say several times that Yun Chao's mother had the same surname as theirs, and Shitou's mother called her Mrs. Wang.
Besides, even if Yun Chao's maiden name was Zhao and she died at a young age, her father would not be considered a good blessing.
If there was no problem here, Shitou would dare to take off his head and let Yun Chao use it as a stool!
After coming to his senses, Shitou was frightened again and wanted to go home right now and throw himself into my mother's arms for comfort.
It's too scary. How can the outside world be so dangerous? Please don't come out in the future, okay?
Yun Chao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was provoking someone. He had only been out a few times and he had already encountered so many bad things. Why should he let others mess with him?
"Tell me, what do you want to do? Where are your accomplices hiding?"
What, there are accomplices?
Shitou was secretly complaining that he was useless. Suddenly, he heard Yun Chao ask about the other party's accomplices, and he suddenly woke up!
Now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself, danger may come at any time!
"Accomplice? Little brother, why can't I understand what you are saying...ah!"
Before Scarface could finish his sentence, he screamed, and Yun Chao stabbed his thigh with a bamboo spear!
Seeing this scene, Shitou's eyelids twitched. Second brother is so cruel. Why didn't he notice it before?
However, Shi Shi was shocked yet to come.
Phew!
Yun Chao stabbed Scarface's other thigh again!
Traveling to this backward era, it was already depressing enough, but these people came to add to the trouble, why didn't he go crazy!
Although Yun Chao usually laughs and scolds and seems not to care about anything, he is actually just enjoying himself in the midst of suffering.
"Are you going to tell me? If you keep nagging me, I'll shoot you to death!"
Two bloody holes were opened in his thighs. Scarface could not stand steadily and suddenly sat on the ground.
Watching the red blood gushing out was unbearable for me mentally.
Moreover, Scarface also discovered that Yun Chao was going crazy and might kill him at any time!
"Say, I'll tell you everything. Little brother, don't be impatient. Listen to me slowly. I'm old and young. I really can't survive, so I ran out to sell salt..."
After listening for a long time, Yun Chao finally figured out that He Zuo was a private salesman.
Many things in the Dawu Dynasty were exclusively sold by the government, such as salt and iron. If you want to sell them, you must obtain official permission.
These things are necessary for daily life, and the government directly levies heavy taxes by controlling sales channels.
For example, a pound of salt that costs less than ten cents would cost a hundred cents, or even hundreds of cents, in the hands of the people.
When the price difference reaches a certain level, some people will take desperate measures. Even if the official crackdown on illegal sales is very strong and the penalties are very severe, the illegal sale of salt cannot be banned.
Many small private salt dealers purchased goods from large private salt dealers and dispersed to the countryside to fight guerrillas.
"Well, no, where's your salt?"
Scarface talked nonsense for a long time, and then Yun Chao remembered that this guy was talking nonsense, but there was nothing he was doing business with. He was selling private salt. How could you sell a ball without salt?
Shitou also reacted, admiring Yun Chao so much that he fell to the ground.
As soon as Scarface said he was selling private salt, he actually believed it!
If it weren't for my second brother, I would have been deceived again!
When he saw that Yun Chao was showing signs of taking action again, Scarface was startled: "Little brother, don't do it, don't do it. My things are all in the woods. If you don't believe me, go take a look!"
"Second brother, don't move, I'll go look!"
Shitou finally felt that he could be of use. He relied on his second brother for everything, so what use was he?
Shitou is an honest man and a young man at the same time.
Which young person doesn't want to prove himself, and who is willing to admit that he is a waste.
What's more, strictly speaking, Shitou is not even a young man. At fifteen or sixteen years old, he is completely a teenager.
As a teenager, I tend to be impulsive easily, and when my head is too hot, I can't think about that much at all.
"Stone, come back, don't go in!"
Yun Chao rolled his eyes, wondering if he had hit the stone too hard. This kid wasn't like this before. Why is he so impulsive now?
