The Mage in the Late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 49 You Might Be Mad to Death

We discussed some details of the caravan and drank some wine casually. Zhao Chuanxin stopped drinking when his cheeks started to feel hot.

"Although Zhao usually weighs his wine by the bucket, you still have to be careful when you are out there and want to kill me. Invite me to Lugangling Village another day. Zhao and Boss Chen will pair Wenwu wine with a hero cup. It is a matter of life and death."

The corners of Chen Daguang's mouth twitched.

After just a few sips, you are breathing heavily and your cheeks are red. Why are you talking to me about a life-and-death battle?

Is this enough for you?

If someone who can drink is called Hailiang, Zhao Chuanxin is not even Xiliang.

During the banquet, people from all over the world were laughing and cursing, talking nonsense, and they were all enjoying themselves.

Chen Daguang saw that although this man had lived in the village for a long time, his astronomy, geography, anecdotes at home and abroad, including his views on the current situation, were extraordinary, so he took a high look at him.

Is this the temperament? Haha, that’s up for debate.

Zhao Zhongyi and Gao Li looked at Zhao Chuanxin with admiration.

Even though he is always smiling and smiling all day, he can still show off his face no matter what the situation is, and he never has stage fright.

After eating, Zhao Chuanxin took the two of them out.

Ganfan shouted.

"Gangfan thinks you mixed the food together and gave it to it, making it look like dog food."

Double Happiness and others: "..."

If I remember correctly, isn't Ganfan a dog?

Go home.

After returning to his home, Zhao Chuanxin made himself a pot of tea, drank some to relieve the hangover and fell asleep.

The next morning, Dayasu came over to chop firewood as usual.

Looking at Dayasu who was silent and just working, Zhao Chuanxin thought to himself that this man was not sneaky at all in his work. He grinned with buck teeth when he met everyone, and he worked conscientiously in raising horses. He didn't look like he had done all the bad things. Locks.

If you want to say that he is pretending, Zhao Chuanxin has seen people who put on pretense, so he insists on making sure that the true nature is exposed. How deep does one have to be to be able to act for a long time?

Gangsters who are gangsters are all impetuous. Even Zhang Zuolin was like this in the early stage. Those who are scheming usually end up becoming at least a big warlord. From the look of Dayasu, it was obvious that he was not that kind of person.

Then he is really such a person.

Then he called him over: "Dayasu, what is your real name?"

Dayasu said: "Just call it Dayasu."

"..." Zhao Chuanxin: "How did you get to Xiaolongzhao Mountain?"

Dayasu recalled something: "I traveled to Guandong many years ago and came here with One-Eyed Dragon. Later, One-Eyed Dragon went to Boxing Boxing. I didn't dare to fight and kill, so I hid and raised horses for others. Later, the Russians After fighting over, General Jilin ran away, and the Boxer Boxing was dispersed. Xiao Jinzi'er led people up the mountain to establish a bureau, and One-Eyed Dragon followed him. He wanted me to go, but Xiao Jinzi'er thought I was too cowardly and stupid. Originally, I was not allowed to do so. Later I found out that I could raise horses. There were few people at that time, so I became one of the Four King Kongs inexplicably.

Since then, I have been raising horses in the mountains. I don't dare to fight, so I can only raise horses. "

These times are so fucking interesting.

Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "The little Jin Zi'er burned, killed, and looted. Aren't you afraid of following them and getting retribution?"

Dayasu said helplessly: "I didn't understand what it means to establish a bureau at first, but later I found out what they were doing, and they didn't let me go. I simply never went down the mountain. They did whatever they liked, and I just kept them. horse."

Zhao Chuanxin gave a thumbs up.

Raising horses for the gangsters who are robbing their homes is also considered as aiding the tyrants. But it would be hard to say that the crime was extremely heinous.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and said, "Next year, I will build a house for you, and then you can settle down in Lugang Ridge. Give us horses and give you wages every month."

Dayasu's eyes lit up.

For people who are happy-go-lucky, the more stable the life, the happier they will be.

What's the point of being tired?

After getting to know each other for a period of time, he also learned that these insurance teams in Luganling Village had never done anything harmful to nature, and they were all children of farmers in the village.

Living with these people makes me feel at ease.

At least there won't be any guilt.

"Thank you, thank you Captain."

"Do it well, live a good life in the future, marry a big-assed woman, and give birth to a fat boy. However, if you give birth to a daughter, you cannot bind your feet, or I will kill you!"

Dayasu was confused.

He didn't dare to refute.

Zhao Chuanxin opened the diary, and only one sentence was updated.

[I continued to set off, but when it got dark, I ran out of energy...]

The map of this instance is too large.

I didn’t even finish the walk twice.

For several days in a row, it was just the same.

Finally, the day came to set off.

Zhao Chuanxin originally planned to stay at home in the winter.

However, Zhao Zhongyi, Liu Guogui, and Gao Li all came, and he had to take part in the first escort mission.

Zhao Chuanxin was unwilling to do so: "Brother, you have been running caravans with the Niu family all year round, so you can just follow."

Zhao Zhongyi shook his head: "No. We all have a team leader. I can follow, but I'm afraid I won't do it well."

Liu Baogui also said: "This is the first time, you should make a trip to pass on the salary. In the future, everyone will have experience, and you will not be needed. No matter how lazy you are, I will just let you make a trip."

Zhao Chuanxin argued: "How can I be lazy? I am..."

"Stop talking, you're just lazy."

"..."

He secretly felt aggrieved, how could you label me as lazy so easily?

It's totally unreasonable.

Am I a lazy person?

In the end, everyone took turns to fight, and Zhao Chuanxin finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Okay, okay, I'll go, can't I go? Brother, is the down jacket that my sister-in-law made for me ready? I won't go without the down jacket."

Zhao Zhongyi said quickly: "Okay, okay, I went out in a hurry and forgot to bring it to you. I will go home and get it for you in a while."

The outer fabric of the down jacket is made of black dark floral satin, which is a dark floral satin with vaguely maze-like stripes. The inside is made of wool, so it's close-fitting so you won't get cold.

The down jacket was designed by himself. Originally, he wanted to use fabric embroidered with dragons, but it was not available on the market, so the royal family dared to embroider dragons.

He doesn't care about that, merchants don't dare to sell it.

On this day, I put on a long down jacket and thick cotton socks on my feet.

The boots are new.

Previously, because their insurance team showed up in the city, they advertised for Chen Ji's clothing store.

There was a businessman who made boots with a keen sense of smell, and he keenly discovered that the boots worn by Zhao Chuanxin were very good-looking, so he asked workers to try out a new type of leather boots, the style of which was of course imitated by Zhao Chuanxin.

Moreover, we also found the insurance team and asked them to wear them for advertising.

Advertising money was obligatory, and everyone also came with boots.

Zhao Chuanxin's boots are particularly good. The soles are unique and specific, with thick soles made of hard leather.

There is also cotton in the interlayer, and there is also cotton batting inside, making it very warm to wear.

Down jackets, suits, vests, shirts, thermal vests, woolen scarves, trousers, thermal trousers, fleece trousers, and cotton boots are all here!

In the Northeast, the more diligent people are, the less cold they feel in winter.

The more diligent and inconspicuous someone like Zhao Chuanxin is, the more he is afraid of the cold.

He defines himself as: diligent but not obvious.

"Gongfan, it's too cold and snowy now. Can you stay at home and look after the house?"

Ganfan: "Woof woof woof..."

"Okay then, let's go together."

Put it on a special duck down vest and get ready to go.

On this trip, Zhao Chuanxin led the team, followed by four old people including Zhao Zhongyi, Shuangxi, and four newcomers. Adhering to the principle of one belt, one, if there are too many new people, it will be difficult to bring in, and it will be easy to cause bad things.

Chen Daguang waited for a long time. When he saw a group of people coming on horseback through the snow, especially when Zhao Chuanxin led the group in person, it goes without saying that he was overjoyed.

"I didn't expect that Captain Zhao would make a trip in person."

"The harm is beyond words."

Chen Daguang: "Uh..."

Shuangxi was having fun in the back.

In Lugangling Village, no one knows that Zhao Chuanxin is a lazy guy.

Without the help of others, he would not move as long as he could.

Those born in the year of donkey will fall back if they are not led away.

"Let's go!"

Ox carts and horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods set out on the road.

They brought the special products here, such as ginseng and other medicinal materials, leather goods and wood products, etc. Then bring back the goods from the south or by sea. Come and go, make a lot of money.

The vast forests and snowfields on the black earth look particularly spectacular.

The rays of light refracted by the sun on the snow can make people unable to open their eyes.

It is said that people who do not live in the north all year round will suffer from snow blindness if they watch too much.

The people in the insurance team all wore tattered jackets over their coats, and wore dog-skin hats on their heads. Their breath was white, and their beards, eyebrows, and bangs that had just grown out were all covered in frost. .

Now, the younger generation in Lugangling Village have learned from Zhao Chuanxin and started to grow their hair. I spontaneously feel that the yin and yang head is too ugly.

Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one else can care about it.

What? County government office? They are nothing!

Zhao Chuanxin's hair is already very long. Nowadays, it's all done by barbers, not Manager Zhengba. Even if he wants to cut it himself, it's too troublesome to cut it with a clipper alone, so he simply combs it back.

Shuangxi was wearing a torn jacket, with a large hem of his woolen coat exposed underneath. Looking at Zhao Chuanxin, he was wearing a long down jacket that extended to his calves. The buttons below could be unbuttoned and used to support his legs while riding. The satin material is very dazzling in the sun.

Especially the down jacket, which actually has a hat attached to the back, which can be buckled on the head at any time. When the scarf is put on, two eyes are exposed.

They are very powerless because chasing fashion is very difficult.

While they were complacent about their woolen coats, they put on down jackets again.

If they want down jackets, they have to collect goose and duck down for several months... By then, I wonder what new tricks Zhao Chuanxin will come up with.

I have to follow him to do some cooking, but there is no snow clearing on the road at the moment. Both humans and horses have one foot deep and one foot shallow, let alone dogs.

As I walked, I was out of breath.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his leg: "Hook it."

Gan Fan put his two paws on it, and Zhao Chuanxin used his strength to pick it up, then stretched out his hand and pulled it into his arms.

Chen Daguang, who was standing next to him, was amazed when he saw it: "Captain Zhao, your dog is really spiritual. Why don't you sell it to me and I'll give you a suitable price."

Ganfan bared his teeth and barked twice.

Zhao Chuanxin looked up at the sky: "Haha, there is no price in this world that I can't refuse."

Chen Daguang's head turned several times before he understood the meaning of this sentence.

Does it mean I can't afford it?

Sometimes, Chen Daguang felt that if anyone stayed with this person for a long time, he might be angry to death.

More, forgot
