Chapter 159 Speed ​​up the pace
The two returned to the camp with a large stack of corn tortillas, and the cannon fodder members munched on the tortillas.A few members of the cannon fodder regiment who came to the countryside actually said that the food tasted like home, and Zhao Shaolong felt a pain in his egg after hearing it.

It's only been a few days since I came out, and I'm actually starting to feel nostalgic?

Speaking of the taste of his hometown, Zhao Shaolong realized that he hadn't contacted his family for a long time.I called home and talked with my parents for a few minutes on the phone, and explained in detail about my transfer to Kyoto.Of course, my mother has always told me to study hard and pay attention to my body, and my father said that we should be down-to-earth.After a long phone call, I still didn't feel satisfied, so I called Chen Xi again.

"Master Xi, how is your relationship with Xinhuan recently? Are you still so sweet?" Zhao Shaolong asked lazily.

"Hey, it's okay, life is full of energy now." Chen Xi smiled shyly.

"Hehe, be motivated, be careful of kidney deficiency."

"I don't mean that. Now we have developed Tianzhu Peak very well. Eucommia is growing very well, and the income is just around the corner. Qiu Baomei has brought in some funds for tourism. We don't pay for this, only participate in the management, and then share it. Rongyan is really talented, and I learned a lot from her. Tianzhu Peak is now full of pavilions and pavilions, and even has a rafting event, you hands-off shopkeeper, every ticket and every event will have you share. You just wait until you get cramps when you count the money, isn’t it cool?”

Chen Xi's words were extremely cheerful, and it seemed that being with Liu Rongyan had a happy and fulfilling life both physically and mentally.

"Okay, then I'll just wait to collect the money from now on, thank you Master Xi." Zhao Shaolong laughed.

"Hey, Shaolong, without you, there would be no Chen Xi now. It may be a little troublesome for you to come back in the future. Qiu Baomei will definitely mention you every two or three days. Her eyes and tone tell people that she is out. Like a man."

"Hey, it seems that it's not a good thing to be handsome. Well, I'll hang up here and have trouble charging." Zhao Shaolong hung up the phone, walked to the shade of a tree, lay down lazily and continued to be bored.

Seeing that Zhao Shaolong had finished his phone call, Yuan Ci happily ran over and sat next to him, chirping with him.Zhao Shaolong was very curious about why this girl didn't realize how boring this place is. Recently, Yuan Ci caught him talking endlessly, and she was about to become a female Zaba.

"Leader, I'll go to the mountain to hunt some wild rabbits and roast them tonight. Would you like to go and see them together?" Ah Er walked over with a few circles made of wire on his back and said.Ah Er has a lot of research on hunting. Those wire rings are simple animal traps made by him. Big beasts can't be caught, but small beasts can catch them accurately.

Thinking of the tragic experience of killing beasts and vomiting on Qishan Island, Zhao Shaolong waved his hands and said weakly, "Go, be careful of big beasts, there are many big ones in this mountain."

Ah Er went up the mountain to hunt hares with his clip on his back. A few members of the cannon fodder regiment stood guard around the Earth Temple, fulfilling their duties, and even voles were not allowed to approach the entrance of Zangjin Cave.

"Yuanci, why do you think I can't calm down, I'm really not used to staying in the mountains." Zhao Shaolong said in a babbling manner with a weed stalk in his mouth.

"The scenery here is beautiful, the air is good, and there is no trouble in the company that seems to be endlessly busy. I hope to stay here for a lifetime." Yuan Ci leaned his head on Zhao Shaolong's shoulder while talking, his face full of joy. Happy smile.

This woman won't like me, will she?
Zhao Shaolong frowned, if this is true, he will have a falling out with Tianya Haige in the future.It is destined to be a tragedy for Yuanci to be caught in the middle. The deeper this relationship is, the more harm it will do to Yuanci.

But thinking of wielding a sword to slash love, Zhao Shaolong sneered, what the hell is it?Yuan Ci and Tang Shi are not cheap lamps, maybe they just want to fool around with their double cultivation and improve their cultivation, why are they so sentimental here.

"Girl, it's all right anyway, do you have any good ditties, sing it for me to relieve my boredom." Zhao Shaolong leaned against the boulder and crossed his legs.

Yuan Ci pressed Zhao Shaolong's chest and beat wildly, "You really think you are an uncle? Well, I'm happy today, so I'll sing you a song."

Before Yuan Ci could speak, Niu Niu from the stone building came over leading two locals.Zhao Shaolong sat up straight, and said softly to Yuan Ci, "Trouble is coming. Yuan Ci, we will have a good talk with them later, just distribute some money, and you don't just use killing people to silence them."

"Don't worry, I'm not a murderer." Yuan Ci pouted.

Niu Niu's face was a bit unnatural, and behind him was a man in his 50s and [-]s, with a bearded face that seemed to have not been washed for several years, black and yellow.A woman in her fifties, with the same black and yellow face, and a vitriolic look.

Zhao Shaolong and Yuan Ci greeted them with smiles, Niu Niu said in a low voice, "Brother, sister, this is my second aunt and second uncle, they said they would come to collect money for cooking for you."

With his neck straightened and a thick accent, the man said in a rough voice, "I am the village head here, what are you doing in Rongmancang's field? This is our village. Niuniu did this for you. Jiufan, should you raise your money?"

The woman rolled her eyes like a hanged ghost and said, "That's right, that's right, it's time to add more money..."

As the village head, he didn't mention the people in Rong Mancang's family?Zhao Shaolong secretly thought that these two guys just wanted some benefits, so it would be easy to handle.Hehe smiled and said, "You are the village head here? Hehe, you are also Niuniu's uncle. That is a family. Let's go, let's go to the stone building to talk, it's too hot here."

The man looked at the tent next to the Earth Temple, and was about to speak when he saw the tall and muscular figures of several cannon fodder members. He stopped his voice and muttered in a low voice, "What's your own, the wages can't be less anyway."

The woman interjected again, "Yes, the money must be processed."

Yuanci stared wide-eyed and said, "It's only been ten days, didn't Zaba pay you wages?"

"Let's go to Shilou first, the family can discuss everything." Zhao Shaolong took La Yuanci's hand and gave her a wink.

These mountain people can keep their mouths shut with some benefits. If they get offended, people from all over the country will come and make trouble, that will be a headache.

A group of people returned to the stone building, sat on the stool, and Niu Niu poured a few glasses of water.Zhao Shaolong took out a cigarette, lit it for the man, and said, "Niu Niu is a very good girl, and we hit it off very well. You are Niu Niu's second uncle and also our second uncle. They are all one family, so I don't know anything when I talk. We are in Rong Didn’t Zaba tell you about picking some stones from Mancang’s field? It won’t delay their growing grain.”

The man seemed to have never smoked this kind of cigarette before. He inhaled it with great relish, opened his mouth wide and showed his yellow teeth, and said, "I am the village head here. You have to pay some fees for mining stones in his field. Stones will give money to the owner."

We were mining stones in Rongmancang's field, and you came here to collect money? !He still didn't mention the Rong family at all.This guy is deliberately pretending to be stupid to extort some money.Zhao Shaolong wished that he would not mention the Rong family, who wouldn't pretend to be confused.

"Second Uncle, this money should be paid. But you can collect this money by yourself. The nearby villagers won't say anything anymore, right?"

"Don't worry, I have the final say in this village. As long as I collect the money, who dares to ask me to clean him up. There is also Niu Niu's wages, you can't renege on it when the time comes." The man heard that Zhao Shaolong was willing to give the money, and he didn't mention it. The Rong family couldn't help but feel happy.

Zhao Shaolong said with a smile, "How much does the second uncle plan to charge?"

"At least, um, at least 2000 yuan." The man said gruffly while pointing two fingers.The woman also nodded in agreement, her eyes sparkling.

"In the past, those who picked stones gave the owner 20 yuan a piece of big stones. Now we have only picked more than 30 stones, and they are all small stones. Is your price a bit high?" Zhao Shaolong said with a frown.

Yuan Ci stared at Zhao Shaolong who was about to open his mouth, but Zhao Shaolong stopped her hand and motioned her not to speak.Yuanci secretly wondered, Shaolong is not such a stingy person, just give him 2000 yuan, and it is a waste of saliva to tell him so much.

After listening to Zhao Shaolong's words, the man looked at the woman in a blink of an eye, with obvious disappointment in his eyes.Rubbing his big hands, he opened and closed his mouth a few times, as if he hadn't figured out what to say.

"Brother, don't give them money." Niu Niu suddenly stood beside Zhao Shaolong and said loudly.

The woman rushed forward and pulled Niu Niu over, and pinched her arm fiercely, "You damn girl, don't speak, I'll go back and beat you to death for wasting food."

Yuan Ci stood up and pulled Niu Niu, and then slapped it, Zhao Shaolong pulled Yuan Ci back with sharp eyes and sharp hands.Yuan Ci's palm wiped the woman's face and sucked it into the air.Seeing Yuan Ci's sharp eyes, the woman shrank behind the man in fright, and dared not speak again.

Zhao Shaolong's eyes were sharp like a knife, he looked at the man and snorted coldly, "I forgive you this time, if you dare to beat Niu Niu again in the future, I will chop off your hand."

The man is obviously a bully, but he dare not even speak back.

"Second uncle, we will continue to collect stones here for a while. Since you are the village chief, I will give you the 2000 yuan, but I will give you another [-] yuan for Niuniu's salary."

After Zhao Shaolong finished speaking, he went into the room and drew 3000 yuan.He counted one thousand and handed it to the man, and then took five hundred from two thousand and handed it to him, and put the remaining fifteen thousand into Niu Niu's pocket and said, "The two hundred is a deposit, you just need to ensure that we go smoothly Pick stones here, and Niu Niu will bring them back to you when we leave. Now that the money has been given to Niu Niu, you can rest assured."

The man didn't care what Zhao Shaolong said, he spit on his finger and was about to count the money when the woman snatched him away.The woman held the money tightly in her hand and said, "Okay, you guys go to collect stones, and let Niu Niu bring the money back when you leave."

After the woman finished speaking, she pulled the man and walked out without even looking at Niu Niu.The two walked out of the gate and walked quickly towards the direction of Heluo Town, as if picking up a treasure and fearing that someone would go back.

Niuniu pursed his lips and handed the money to Zhao Shaolong, saying, "Brother, you shouldn't have given them the money. The second uncle is not the village chief at all. The stones in the Rong family's field have nothing to do with him."

Day, was actually cheated.Zhao Shaolong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Yuanci, call the person who took over the gold outside the mountain and ask them to transport fifty mules, horses or whatever. Then ask Zaba to find dozens more porters for the mules and horses." .The gold must be shipped out in the next few days.”

"Why? Are we still afraid that they won't succeed." Yuan Ci said angrily, rubbing Niu Niu's pinched arm.

Zhao Shaolong sighed and said, "Now all the mountain people who are nothing have started to come to blackmail. In a few days, the local village head and township head will come to the door and ask about quarrying stones, and you can get some money to fool them. If you ask about the Rong Mancang family The whereabouts of people will cause big trouble.”

Yuan Ci nodded after hearing this, then suddenly raised her head and said loudly, "I can't leave Niu Niu here to be bullied by them, I want to adopt Niu Niu. What the hell second aunt and uncle, those two people don't treat Niu Niu as a human being at all. look in."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down and took Niu Niu's hand and said, "Niu Niu, how about going to live with elder sister and elder brother outside the mountain?"

Niu Niu pursed his lips, and suddenly burst into tears, "Okay, I am willing to stay with my brother and sister for the rest of my life, only you are the best for Niu Niu."
