My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 128
In the grass next to the official road, Ning Changrong and the others were squatting inside, looking at the road on the official road from time to time, with anticipation in their eyes.

They all had a few pancakes on their bodies, and they were eating and drinking water at the same time.

Ning Daniu took a sip of water and said in a low voice, "Evergreen, we've been waiting for so long, so no one will come over?"

They have been here for two days, and today is the third day, not to mention trading, there is not even a ghost.

Ning Lao Er sat aside, biting pancakes and said, "Yes, we've only been feeding mosquitoes for the past two days."

Ning Husheng wiped his mouth after eating, and looked at the pancakes in the bundle, "Changrong, we can eat the leftover pancakes for at most two days, and it will take one day to go back. If we can’t wait, we have to go back.”

Ning Changrong was a little reconciled. They walked for a day, and the distance between them was two days. If they returned empty-handed, what was his plan for this trip?

If I had known that I should bring Ning Shuiqiang with me, the other party was also a hunter, and he could still hunt on this mountain, so they could last for another day or two.

But just thinking about it, bringing these people out, the manpower in the camp is no longer enough.

Ning Changrong chewed the cake in his hand tastelessly, "Then wait another day. If it doesn't work, we have to go back."

In fact, drinking the blood of animals can also replenish salt, but wouldn't this just become like drinking blood?If you can buy Yanning Changrong, you should try to buy as much as possible.

And how can there be so much animal blood on the mountain for them to drink?Even if they are there, can they fight every day?

"Snapped!"

Ning Lao Er slapped his foot, killing the mosquito that wanted to suck his blood.

"The mosquitoes on this mountain are really poisonous, Husheng, you give me the torch, and I'll light some mosquito repellent."

Ning Husheng took out a fire bag and a few mosquito repellents from the bag and handed them over.

In the evening, after dinner, several people waited for several hours, and when they couldn't bear it anymore, one person was left to watch the night, and the others fell asleep.

In the early morning, Ning Husheng was called up by Ning Laoer on duty to replace him on duty. He yawned and looked at Guandao.

Add some firewood to the fire from time to time.

They are not cold at the foot of the mountain, and this firewood is used to drive away wild animals.

Suddenly seeing some stars in the distance, Ning Husheng rubbed his eyes, and stood up to confirm after seeing clearly.

Realizing that someone was indeed hurrying ahead with a torch, he hurriedly woke up Ning Changrong and the others, "Changrong! Daniel, wake up! It seems that someone is coming ahead!"

Ning Daniu, who was leaning on the tree trunk and sleeping soundly, was pushed by Ning Husheng and fell directly to the ground. He was about to swear, but when he heard the other person's words, he stood up and looked into the distance.

"It seems that someone is really coming to us."

Ning Changrong also saw it. According to the distance traveled by these people, it took about half an hour to reach them.They are standing on the mountain now, so they can see far.

"Extinguish the fire. We are going down the mountain slowly, and we still don't know who is below. We will talk about it after we see it clearly."

Several people hurriedly dug up the soil next to them, covered the fire, extinguished the fire, and walked slowly down the mountain.

Walking to the foot of the mountain closest to the official road, several people hid themselves, took out the cakes in their pockets, and waited while eating.

"Here we come. Pay attention to concealment." Ning Changrong and the others hid in the bushes.

At this time, it was already daylight, and the torches held by the group were all extinguished.

Ning Changrong looked at this group of estimated to be more than [-] people, and the carriage behind them also pulled a lot of boxes, large and small.

After these people got closer and he could see their faces clearly, he looked at their clothes. Although the carriages of these people were escorting a lot of goods, he was not sure whether these people were a merchant team.

"Da Niu, you come down with me."

Ning Changrong turned his head and said again: "Husheng, second child, you two are waiting up there, if you encounter a situation, you should not deal with us."

Ning Husheng was the first to object, "How can this be done!? I'll go with Daniel, and you and Changfu will stay up there."

Ning Lao Er and Ning Daniu also dividedly persuaded: "You can't go down and take risks, you are our backbone."

In the end, Ning Changrong didn't resist a few people, and sent the most slick Ning Daniu down, and they supported them.

"If the situation is not right, run up the mountain immediately, and we will stop them with our hands." Ning Changrong repeatedly explained.

A good person was brought out by him, so of course he would bring it back whole.

"Don't worry, Evergreen."

Ning Daniu waited for the group of people to approach, and immediately came out of the bushes where he was hiding.

His sudden appearance caused a commotion among the ranks below.

"Who?!" The leading man who pretended to be serious shouted.

Ning Daniu smiled and said: "You are a merchant team? I want to buy something with you."

The leading man in a well-dressed look looked around, and Ning Changrong immediately ordered Ning and Er Er to shake the tree trunk, trying to create the illusion that there were many people hiding on the mountain.

Not to mention the well-dressed man, even their entire team was frightened after seeing the movement on their bodies.I thought I encountered some kind of green forest bandit who robbed the house.

Another middle-aged man of average appearance came out from the team. The well-dressed man backed up after seeing him, and it was obvious that the team was headed by him.

"What does this brother want to buy? We are indeed a merchant team."

Ning Daniu's eyes lit up, "Do you sell salt? What about grain?"

The middle-aged man nodded, "Of course it's for sale. As for the food, we haven't prepared much. It's already sold out along the way."

After a pause, the middle-aged man said again:

"It's just that the price of our salt is not cheap. This brother also knows that the world is not peaceful now. We took a lot of risks when we came here. Even if I doubled the number of people who charged the darts, the cost also increased. .”

Ning Daniu looked up the mountain, Ning Changrong received the signal, and the trees on the mountain began to shake again, giving the illusion that many people were running down the mountain.

The middle-aged man's face was ugly, and he understood that the other party was a threat, "The price is easy to negotiate, and meeting is fate."

Ning Daniu cheerfully bought 20 taels of salt at a low price of [-] taels of silver.He carried the salt on his right shoulder, held several batches of cloth under his left armpit, and walked straight up the mountain.

After Ning Changrong saw him coming up, several people hurried up to greet him.

"How is it? How much did it cost? Why is there still cloth?"

When Ning Daniu went down, Ning Changrong gave him five ingots of silver.

Ning Daniu took out the rest of the money from his pocket and handed it to Ning Changrong, he said with a smile: "Once it is 20 taels. I bought [-] taels. The cloth is for free."

Ning Hu was surprised, "How can it be so cheap?" These merchants have traveled so far, and the travel expenses are more than that, how can it be so cheap?Moreover, how could people give them cloth?

Ning Daniu told him how he framed the other party, making him think that there were still many people on the mountain and had to sell them at a low price.

"Let me tell you, this group of caravans is not a good thing. When I went to serve corvee, I saw their caravan logo. They are all dogs colluding with the government. I heard that they are from a large family. If there are really so many people on our mountain, I will definitely not give him the money!"

"I took that cloth by hand, anyway, they don't lack this cloth." Ning Daniu looks like a simple and honest person, but in fact he has more thoughts than anyone else. What kind of person is he? Shun the cloth.
