Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 39 I Want Clothes, I Want Pots

After Zhao Xin and the other seven came out of the tent, Liu Sheng and the others all went to the car to see the two children and Zeng Xiucheng.

At this time, Shino, who had been waiting outside for a long time, stepped forward and said to Zhao Xin: "Master, the two children and adults in the car have already eaten. I cooked a pot of porridge for them at night. , the adult and the older child fell asleep again. The younger one has been sitting in the car with his brother and never came out."

When Zhao Xin got into the car, he took out the medicine and gave it to Xu Funan and Zeng Xiucheng respectively, and then took out the thermometer to take the temperature of the two people respectively.

One big and one small, they were sound asleep, and few of them dared to make any noise.After five or six minutes passed like this, Zhao Xin took out the thermometers from the armpits of the two and looked at them, and then whispered to everyone: "The fever has subsided a lot, and there are still some low-grade fevers. I will change the medicine tomorrow morning." , take another anti-inflammatory drug, it will be fine, and I will probably be running around in two days."

At this time, Xu Shounan, who came over to listen to Zhao Xin, suddenly knelt on the floor and kowtowed at a few people: "Thank you, gentlemen..."

Before waiting for a sentence to finish, Wang Yuanfang, who had been silent, lifted the child up, and then lightly brushed Xu Shounan's knee.

"A man must have backbone, don't kneel at every turn." Wang Yuanfang looked into Xu Shonan's eyes and said word by word.

Six-year-old Xu Shounan was startled by Wang Yuanfang's sudden action, he nodded for no apparent reason, tears kept in his eyes and dared not fall.

Zhao Xin squatted down slowly, smiled and asked Xu Shonan, "Little guy, do you sleep with your brother or with your Uncle Lu at night?"

Xu Shounan looked around and asked, "Isn't Uncle Lu with you?"

"Your Uncle Lu slept elsewhere, and it's very warm there, don't worry."

"Then I'll sleep with Guoguo (brother)."

"Okay, uncle, I will sleep on it at night." Zhao Xin pointed to the top of his head and then to the stairs. "If you want convenience at night, call me."

Xu Shonan nodded.

Zhao Xin then led him back to the bed, took off his shoes and coat, and after lying down, covered him with a quilt.Afterwards, when everyone else was out, he turned off the lights in the car and got out of the car himself.

Zhao Xin came out and said directly to Liu Sheng: "You also sleep in the car at night. You sleep on the second floor, and I'll make do with it on the sofa below."

Liu Sheng asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Xin said helplessly: "Brother, if they go to the toilet this night, don't you look at it? Otherwise, you know where he's going to get you, and go out early tomorrow and step on it first?"

Only then did Liu Sheng react, heh heh twice.

Ding Guofeng took out his cigarette and sprinkled it around, and suddenly asked Zhao Xindao, "Hey, that Liu Yong of Jiangsu Xuezheng mentioned by Lu Shoushan, why does it sound so familiar to me?"

Zhao Xin sneered with a cigarette in his mouth: "You're right, it's the Liu Luoguo in the TV series."

"Ah? This is so...then why didn't Ji Xiaolan come out and help?" Ding Guofeng felt that there would always be good people in the imperial court. Isn't that how they acted in TV dramas?

Zhao Xin turned his head to the fire handed by Liu Sheng, and after lighting the cigarette, he said to Ding Guofeng: "You are too poisoned. Can you believe it in the TV series? Then it's just a story. It's like a literal prison. , which Han minister dares to ask for mercy? Do you think your life is too long? Qianlong raided his house and beheaded him every minute without discussing it."

"Oh, it's so dark..." Ding Guofeng finally concluded.

The real history of the Qing Dynasty is so dark.

After the cigarettes were finished, everyone dispersed.After that night, there was nothing to say, but this night, everyone had their own thoughts.

Not to mention that that night, two small, one big and three ancient people had tossed Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng into a lot of trouble.

Early in the morning, Zhao Xin, who was sleeping with aches and pains, was woken up by Liu Sheng.Liu Sheng went to exercise, and Zhao Xin, who was bewildered, called A Miao and instructed her to help take care of the three. After that, he ran to the second bunk in the car and slept soundly until noon.

After Zhao Xin got up, he only saw Pan Xiucheng who was still asleep.The two children of the Xu family were not in the car.After leaving the door, A Miao, who had been waiting, told him that after the two children got up in the morning, they went to look for Lu Shoushan.

Zhao Xin didn't sleep well all night and ignored A Miao. He first went to the kitchen and asked for a basin of cold water to wash his face and brush his teeth, and then he felt that he was finally awake.

Suddenly, Zhao Xin suddenly felt that his scalp was itchy, raised his hand and scratched a few times.

Depend on!hit.There are lice.

"A Miao, where are Mr. Liu and the others?"

"Master Liu, they all went out in the morning and haven't come back yet."

"Going out again?" Zhao Xin muttered, just as he was about to tell Shinai to have a bowl of porridge, he saw Sheng Haizhou trotting over.

"My lord, my lord. Here comes that Yariha!"

"Here?" Zhao Xin was refreshed and immediately asked, "Is he alone?"

"No, he came with two Kulkhazis. Three men, three horses. They brought a lot of furs for exchange this time."

"Oh? I'll go take a look." Zhao Xin lifted his foot and was about to leave, but stopped again and looked himself up and down.Then he went to the material storage point first, and asked for a new labor insurance cotton coat to put it on; he found two more pieces of cloth, one to wrap his head, and the other to cover his face, leaving only two eyes exposed.

After everything was done, he came near the east gate of the camp and crouched behind a tent to take a closer look.

Zhao Xin's hiding place was only a dozen steps away from the camp gate.Outside the east gate of the camp, Ping Taizheng was pointing at the fur on a horse and drawing on the ground with a branch.On the opposite side of him stood a very tall native, who was chattering.

This man was wearing a dark work safety coat with a large bulge on his chest, as if something was stuffed inside; his lower body was a pair of trousers sewn with animal skins, and a pair of work safety shoes on his feet.

"My lord, that person is Yariha." Sheng Haizhou squatted behind Zhao Xin and explained.

Zhao Xin saw Yalha's expression a little anxious, and said while gesticulating with his hands.Finally, I took the branch from Ping Tai's hand and smeared it on the ground.

Zhao Xin estimated that Ping Tai should be bargaining with the other party according to the exchange request he put forward last time, but he didn't know whether this Yalha could accept it.

He looked at the two Kurkazis standing beside him.I saw a middle-aged man wearing an otter-skin hat with a very bushy beard. Although his body was not as tall as Yalha, his shoulders were very broad. He was wearing a semi-new cotton robe with a wrap around it. The hide, the trousers and boots of the lower body are made of hide; the other is a young man, not tall, but more emaciated.The cotton robe on his body was tattered, wrapped in two animal skins, and the lower body was dressed the same as the former.

Both of them were carrying a bow and a sheathed dagger at their waist.

"Have you met these two people before?" Zhao Xin turned his head and asked Sheng Haizhou.

"No. Yalha came alone before, and no one else was found."

Has the business expanded?Zhao Xin also said whether this is good or bad, the more people who come here, the more people know about it, and the more it spreads.
He is now trying his best to prevent the Qing court from discovering his gang.

"I want an iron pot, salt, cotton robes, and shoes. By the way, do you have tea bricks here?"

Yalha took the branch and drew on the ground, while muttering to Heitai.He looked up at Ping Tai's confused expression, and knew that he was too anxious.

So Yalha thought about it for a while, patted his chest first, indicating the cotton robe; then he pointed to the two people who came with him, meaning one piece per person.

Then he pointed to the safety shoes on his feet, and then pointed to two people.

After finishing all this, Yalha took out the small stainless steel basin from his arms after looking at Ping Tai's appearance as if he understood.

Good guy, Zhao Xin almost laughed out loud when he saw it.Treat it like a baby.

I saw that Yalha pointed to the small basin with one hand, and made a one-foot-square gesture. Finally, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the smoking tin chimney at the top of the tent.

Ping Tai is dumbfounded, what is this going to do?Small pot, big pot?chimney?What is this thing?
Zhao Xin probably understood what was going on, so he said to Sheng Haizhou behind him, "Go and call Tai Tai."

Sheng Haizhou responded with a sound, and hurriedly ran to the gate of the camp to call Ping Tai over.

Ping Tai gestured to Yalha to wait a moment, then turned and returned to the camp gate.

"Master Sheng, what's the matter?"

"My lord asked me to call you over, he has something to tell you."

After the two came to the tent, Zhao Xin said to Pingtai: "He wants to change the big iron pot."

my mother-in-law!Ping Tai slapped his forehead, so it was.

"Then may I ask your lord, what are the conditions for this big iron pot?"

"We don't have a few here. We used four in the kitchen, and Liji has one left. Sheng Haizhou, you can ask Liji and ask someone to bring it. In addition, you can bring another bag of salt, I will I guess they want this too."

Zhao Xin ordered Wansheng Haizhou, and the other party went to Liji.Only then did Zhao Xin continue to Ping Tai: "I guess he still needs three coats and three pairs of shoes."

"My subordinates guessed the same." Ping Tai hurriedly added.

"Ten skins for the small pot, and fifty solid-color skins for the iron pot. Tell him, we only have this one."

Zhao Xin is so awkward.In the face of a native who can only speak Manchu, he can only send out an islander who can't speak Manchu.And these people are not able to show their faces for the time being, but even if they do show up, they will be the same.It's troublesome enough.

After listening to Ping Tai, he bowed and saluted, turned around and went to Yarha to make a gesture.

When Yalha saw Pingtai come back and made a gesture with himself, he seemed to understand that only fifty otter skins were needed for a big iron pot, which made him happy.Ning Guta had to hang a small iron pot half a piece. He made a bigger one, and he only needed fifty otter skins. This time, it was the right time!
So he turned around and said Ping Tai's request to the two fellow villagers who had come together.

After a while, Zhao Xin, who was hiding behind the tent, saw Sheng Haizhou and Li Ji alone holding a bag of salt bought by Zhao Xin, and behind them were four refugees carrying things.One person was holding three labor insurance coats, one person was holding three pairs of labor insurance shoes, and the other two were carrying a large iron pot.

When the group of people walked to the camp gate, Yalha and the other two people in the same village were all staring out.

What a big pot!
