"Tell me...how much money can we make on this trip?"
Zhu Dachun lay between the two strange beasts, covered with a roe deer skin mattress, which was warm and stable. He felt much refreshed and was still in the mood to talk.
Zhou Paotou turned around and said with a smile: "Two strange beasts, they are worth seventy or eighty taels at least!"
Zhao Lin asked deliberately: "Didn't you say that the bear bears alone can be sold for sixty or seventy taels? If you beat an extra bear, why don't you get a lot more money?"
Zhou Paotou said with shame: "This...brother, please don't be angry, the bear's skin is full of holes, it's a waste."
"Too much poison has been used, and bear paws and bear meat cannot be eaten. We can't sell them without conscience and harm others, right?"
Liang Song joked: "If we co-author, the only thing left is bear's gall."
Zhou Paotou laughed "hehe" twice and tried to make up for it: "Shehao's skin is generally intact, and his tusks and mane can also be sold for money. If you put them together for one piece, you can make a lot of money."
"If nothing else, just put these two strange beasts into the village, even decades later, as long as the names of the four of us are mentioned, who will not give a thumbs up?"
After hearing this, Zhu Dachun and Liang Song couldn't help but nodded in agreement. This was indeed something to be proud of.
Zhao Lin also smiled and said: "You are the cannon head, and everything you say is right."
All joking aside, he was very satisfied with this harvest. With the money, not only could he redeem his brother, but he would no longer have to live a hard life in the future.
There is also the spirit of Xiong Zhi, which can be said to be an unexpected surprise. There is no way I can hunt such a powerful beast by myself.
The four of them chatted and laughed, walking through the rough birch forest along the way, and saw the old Eurasian Ridge in the distance.
"Da da da……"
Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves, and seven horses rushed out from the side of the col through the flying snow.
The knights on horseback were all wearing deerskin coats and trousers with the hair facing out and the leather facing in. They had cowhide trousers on their feet. They had sabers on their waists and a long spear stuck in the stirrup.
The laughter suddenly stopped.
Seeing how these people were dressed, Zhao Lin's heart sank, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"Damn, I'm unlucky to have a beard!" Zhu Dachun on the raft let out a sigh.
The smile on Zhou Paotou's face had long since disappeared, and he whispered: "Don't talk, I'll come and meet them."
"Xu..."
The seven horses reined in all five feet away from Zhao Lin and others. One of the horses in the middle held a whip in hand and said condescendingly: "Whoever is on the opposite side, report me!"
The speaker was in his forties, with a hooked nose and pointed mouth, and three long beards. He wore a mink hat and a robe. He was dressed differently from the other six people and seemed to be the leader.
Bao Man is a slang term for bandits, which means reporting one's family status. This man confirmed his identity as a bandit as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhou Paotou clasped his hands in fists and raised his left shoulder, swinging back, and said: "I am a hunter from nearby. We have no food for the winter, so we go into the mountains to build a fence."
Zhao Lin heard from the hunters in the village that you should not clasp your fists when you see a bearded man, because this action is very similar to wearing a shackles and a chain. Bearded men are most taboo about this, and they have to follow the posture of a cannon head.
"Building a fence before spring begins?"
The bearded leader glanced behind a few people and let out a slight "hum".
Zhou Paotou patted the old cotton-padded jacket on his body and laughed at himself: "Isn't this life difficult to live with? May I ask who the good guy is from?"
The bearded leader didn't say anything. He rode out on the left. The rider was a man with a pair of goldfish eyes. He raised his voice and said, "I want you to know that my big boss is a mountain leopard..."
Hearing the words "Drilling Mountain Leopard", Liang Song was shocked and his shoulders trembled slightly.
Zhao Lin glanced at him sideways, thinking that we were enemies on a narrow road, but he happened to meet Huzi on the way home.
Jinyuyan thought Liang Song was intimidated by their names, but he didn't care much and continued: "This is our Shuntian Liang, Diao Liuye!"
In order to take revenge, Liang Song collected a lot of information about Hu Hu in the past few years, and Zhao Lin also knew a little bit about it from chatting with him these days.
Huzi has a complete organizational structure. The big boss is called Da Dangjia, and under him are the second shopkeeper, the third shopkeeper, and below that are the "four beams and eight pillars."
The four beams refer to Dingtianliang who charges into battle, Shuntianliang who manages grain services, Yingtianliang who is responsible for security, and Tuotianliang who is the military advisor.
Bazhu is the leader of more detailed divisions of labor such as kidnapping, negotiation, intelligence, and bodyguards.
The bearded leader in front of him is Shuntian Liang, whose name is Liu Ye. He obviously has a high status among the beards.
"It turns out that Shuntian Liang, who is a leopard in the mountain, has met Diao Liuye and all the heroes." Zhou Paotou forced himself to calm down and made a bow.
"What are you hunting for in the mountains?" Diao Liuye raised his chin and asked.
Zhou Paotou, Zhao Lin, and Liang Song stood side by side, blocking most of Huzi's sight. Coupled with the blanket on Zhu Dachun's body, they couldn't see what was on the raft for a while.
"this……"
Zhou Paotou hesitated.
Goldfish Eyes shouted: "Go aside and let us take a look!"
Zhou Paotou had no choice but to wink at Zhao Lin and Liang Song and said, "There is still an injured person lying on the raft."
Liang Song held his neck and didn't move, Zhao Lin forcibly pulled him aside.
Goldfish jumped off his horse, ran over in three steps and then lifted up the roe deer blanket.
"This...is this what you hit?"
Seeing the two strange beasts on the raft, all the bearded men were stunned. Some were surprised, some were confused, and some had a trace of scruple in their eyes.
"Sixth Master, the four of them killed Xiong Zhuzi and She Hao, what a great trick!"
A tall and thin man next to Mr. Diao Liu whispered in a low voice.
"What a fart method!"
Diao Liuye pointed at the corpses of two alien beasts and laughed loudly: "You idiots just looked carefully. These two alien beasts clearly killed each other and took advantage of them."
The bearded men stretched their heads to see that this was really what happened, and they breathed a sigh of relief one after another.
"Damn, you scared me."
"Xiong Zongzi strangled She Hao to death, and She Hao bit Xiong Zongzi to death... Hehe, this is so lucky!"
Goldfish Eyes complimented: "Master Liu is still very clear-sighted, so I let them fool him."
Zhao Lin observed secretly, and Huzi's eyes were full of greed, and he obviously had thoughts about strange beasts.
Zhou Paotou also felt something bad. He took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to Jinyuyan with a smile, "Heroes have worked hard patrolling the mountains. This is a small token of appreciation."
Goldfish Eyes did not reach out to pick it up, but looked back at Master Diao Liu.
Master Diao Liu curled his lips and sneered without saying a word.
Goldfish Eyes turned around and immediately turned his face, "Get out of here, you're sending a beggar away!" He kicked Zhou Pao's head and staggered.
Zhou Paotou covered his stomach and took a breath, still with a smile on his face: "I wonder what the heroes want?"
After hearing this, all the bearded men looked at each other and laughed.
Goldfish Eyes laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up, pointed at Zhou Paotou and said: "You ugly man, do you really don't understand, or are you just pretending to be stupid? To tell you the truth, we have taken a liking to these two strange beasts!"
Zhou Paotou's expression changed a few times. He didn't look at the goldfish eyes anymore, but said to Master Diao Liu: "Gui Gui doesn't care about the person holding the cannon. Please show your respect to Master Diao Liu."
Master Diao Liu's face also darkened, "Don't tell me any rules, brothers don't have meat to eat now, I'm going to order these two items!"
Zhou Paotou sighed, and had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and said, "Sixth Master really wants it, but I don't dare to refuse. I just want you to give me some hard-earned money, so that I won't have to wait in vain."
"Haha, you dare to ask me for money?"
Diao Liuye's eyes were full of teasing, and he turned to ask others: "Brothers, I don't want to give you the money, but I want the goods. What do you think we should do?"
"Haha, if you ask me for money, I'm afraid you're out of your mind."
"You want money rather than your life, right?"
"No matter how long you go, you even did it together..."
Liang Song was so angry that his face turned blue, his lips kept trembling, and he was about to have an attack.
Zhao Lin wanted to persuade him not to be impulsive, but as he spoke, he suddenly felt the anger in his heart rising up, and his palms were placed on the ax handle at his waist without knowing when...
With strength comes courage.
There's just one question he doesn't know, what is the strength of these beards?
