Worried about something going on at home, Yun Chao did not stop and took a few boys around the courtyard before preparing to return to Wolong Village.
When passing by the blacksmith shop, Yun Chao stopped for a moment.
"Shopkeeper, do you have a crossbow?"
When the shopkeeper saw it was Yun Chao, he rolled his eyes and the other one shone brightly.
Yunchao is his high-quality customer, and every time he comes, he can bring him a lot of income.
The troublesome thing is that Yun Chao has a huge appetite and has to crossbow every time. The owner of the blacksmith shop said that I really can't do it!
Yun Chao also knew that there would be nothing gained, so he just asked a symbolic question.
Since there was no Jinnu, Yun Chao could only settle for the next best thing and buy up all the weapons in the store.
A dozen spears, five or six steel knives, and a dozen shields.
In addition, Yunchao also bought a lot of farm tools, which almost made the blacksmith shop owner happy.
The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that Yun Chao was so good at bargaining that he got a 20% discount, which cost him a lot of money.
Yun Chao told the shopkeeper to seize the time to build a powerful crossbow, and Yun Chao left the blacksmith shop shaking his head.
With such a small shop, when will my team be fully armed?
Next, Yun Chao went to Nanhuo Shop again and did another large-scale sweep. If the carriage could not hold it, the store would have been emptied.
The shopkeeper was so happy that he couldn't even see his eyes. Even though Yun Chao talked about it for 20%, he still waited on him like an uncle.
"Shopkeeper, brown sugar, why don't you have brown sugar yet? If it's out of stock next time, I'm going to Dongping Mansion to buy it!"
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, vowing to restock tomorrow: "Xiao Langjun, if it doesn't happen next time, you will destroy my shop!"
Yun Chao left Qingyang County and rushed back to Wolong Village.
After walking for a while, Yun Chao suddenly heard movement in the woods beside the road and immediately reined in the reins.
All the boys were also on alert. They were all too familiar with encountering robbers on the way.
Come on, let the robbers come more violently!
Here's my chance to make a fortune!
The group waited for a long time, but no robber jumped out of the woods.
If you listen carefully, you can see that there is a whining sound in the woods, similar to the sound made by a frozen dog.
Yun Chao didn't say anything, but made a gesture. Li Xing led a small team, with shields in front of them and crossbowmen as cover, and they carefully walked into the woods...
A moment later, Li Xing's shout rang out in the woods: "Brother Chao, come in and take a look, there is a fat sheep in the woods!"
Yun Chao didn't hear any danger in Li Xing's shout, so he walked in with a few boys.
As soon as he entered the woods, Yun Chao immediately felt happy.
"Hello, shopkeeper Zhao, why are you hanging here?"
On a crooked-necked willow tree, Shopkeeper Zhao Runchun looked like a white pig whose hair had been plucked, swinging back and forth on the branch.
Seeing Yun Chao, Shopkeeper Zhao made a whining sound from his mouth. No wonder there was a sound of freezing dogs in the woods. It turned out that Shopkeeper Zhao's mouth was blocked.
Yun Chao waved his hand, and several boys freed him from the tree and pulled the smelly socks out of his mouth.
"Bah, bah, bah, bah..."
Shopkeeper Zhao first vomited for a long time, then retched for a while, then trembled and said: "Little brother, thank you for meeting you, otherwise I would have frozen to death!"
Yun Chao asked someone to bring over a piece of cotton cloth, which he had just bought at the Nanhuo Store when he left the city.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, just make do with it, we don't have any clothes with us."
Zhao Runchun was almost freezing. He didn't care whether it was cloth or clothes, as long as he could keep out the cold, he immediately wrapped himself into a big rice dumpling.
…
Ten minutes later, Yun Chao finally knew what was going on.
After Zhao Runchun was robbed for the first time when he went out of the city, he was really unwilling and worried about his daughter, so he collected another hundred and ten taels of silver and prepared to go to Wolong Village for the second time.
Unexpectedly, it still had the original recipe and the same taste. It didn't even change the place, and it was robbed again.
This time, perhaps because they felt that Zhao Runchun had too little money with him, the robbers were dissatisfied. In addition to stripping off his clothes, they also hung him up.
Just when Zhao Runchun thought he was certain to die, he suddenly heard the sound of a carriage coming from outside the woods.
In order to ask for help, Zhao Runchun cried desperately, and then Yun Chao was alerted and saved his life!
Yun Chao couldn't laugh or cry: "Shopkeeper Zhao, why are you doing this? If you had known today, why bother? If you had given me the thousand taels of silver earlier, wouldn't everything have been fine?"
Zhao Runchun was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head: "Hey, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I've been doing business for a long time, and I'm covered in copper odor, which makes my little brother laugh!"
Yun Chao seriously suspected that the old boy was criticizing Sang and Huai, but unfortunately he had no evidence.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, I don't insist on your one thousand taels of silver. Saving your daughter is not a simple matter. If not, it will cost the lives of my brothers. You said, the lives of my brothers are not worth a thousand taels of silver." Two?"
Zhao Runchun wanted to say that their lives were really not worth a thousand taels.
But I didn’t dare.
Your daughter's life and death will still depend on others. Whatever others say is what they say, so don't be arrogant.
"I'll lend you this cotton cloth. Shopkeeper Zhao, please go home as soon as possible. When you collect the money, you can come to Wolong Village to find me. I will be responsible for finding your daughter back, okay?"
"No, no, little brother..."
When Zhao Runchun saw that Yun Chao was leaving, he immediately became anxious.
"Little brother, I beg you, just tell me where my daughter is? I really can't live without my daughter!"
Yun Chao shook his head like a rattle. If the old boy was really worried about his daughter, why did he put on a negotiating posture when he was at the drug store? Isn't this nonsense?
"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Zhao. I don't have enough money, so I'm really helpless!"
Now I think of playing the family card. If you have money, you would rather give it to the robbers than help us poor people. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't remember it well next time.
The money was just an excuse, the purpose was to send Lao Zhao home quickly.
Originally, Yun Chao was still hesitant about telling Zhao Runchun the whereabouts of his daughter.
However, after seeing him fall in the same place twice, I really felt that the old boy was unreliable.
For that little profit, a bigger profit was lost in the end. This kind of thing really cannot be trusted. Once it is known that his daughter is in Wolong Village, there is definitely a possibility of leaking the news!
Yun Chao didn't want to be taken care of by Xiao Derang, the third boss of Heisongling. Instead of causing himself pain, he could only make Lao Zhao miserable for a few more days.
Anyway, the old boy knows that his daughter is not dead, and has a spiritual support. He won't collapse for a while, so he should hold it in for now.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, you can't do it even if you say no. If you keep messing around, I will take the cotton cloth back and hang you from a tree!"
