Chapter 713 715. Setting up a stall
The smile on Lai San's face was more sincere, which showed that Captain Chen did not look down on them and wanted to continue interacting with them.
This is a great honor for them.
"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of my brothers. When you have time to come to the village, we will definitely give you a good welcome."
Captain Chen stuffed the rabbit directly under the table and then asked, "Have you planted all the seeds you received earlier?
If you work hard now, you should be able to harvest some vegetables before the Chinese New Year.
Don’t just focus on hunting, you should also get busy with the method of composting that I taught you earlier, and wait until spring comes, so that you can have a good harvest next year.”
Lai San is now full of enthusiasm for his future life. "In addition to making some small traps on the mountain, we usually go to the mountain to ferment fertilizer. The houses in the village have been built, and you are welcome to visit us at any time."
"That'll have to wait, I have so much to do all day.
But remember to tell your boss Wu when you get back, and ask him to go to the nearby hills to inform them when he is free. The land around here is getting less and less. If we don’t hurry up, I really won’t be able to treat you as well as before.”
Captain Chen wanted to keep the good mountain land so that he could attract more bandits.
However, the people around here were all very cunning. As soon as they circled the hilltop, these people gathered around to inquire about the news.
"Not only our boss, but the brothers from other gangs are also notifying each other." Lai San said a few more words, and when he found that someone came to register, he said goodbye and went into the city.
Zeng Dawang walked into the streets of the city and said, "Life is really comfortable now. In the past, we would never dare to enter the city so openly.
Now that we can stand here with our feet firmly on the ground, we are truly alive.”
Lai Dafa pushed him forward, "Why are you sighing here? Let's go to the city and sell the prey. Then we can exchange them for some grains. Otherwise, how are we going to celebrate the New Year?"
Although they have houses, land and household registration, they still have to rely on themselves to fight for their real life.
They don't have anything to show for it now, and can only rely on the traps dug in the mountains to harvest some prey every day.
"I'm just excited," Zeng Dawang didn't expect that his mentality would change so much in just a few days.
He didn't know how desperate he was when his brother was injured before.
Now that my brother’s injuries have healed, he can help with some light work. He is full of hope for the future.
Lai Dafa, "There will be better days in the future. The pharmacy is in front. Do you want to ask Doctor Qian if he needs to buy some prey?"
These days, when they go into the city, they will first bring their prey to the pharmacy to ask.
To them, Dr. Qian was a really good man.
Ever since I learned their identities from Xiaowang, I have not discriminated against them.
Knowing that they had just settled down, he even taught them to identify several herbs.
Sometimes when they came across them, they would pick them and exchange them for some silver.
This is also another source of income for them. Although it is not much, it is very precious to them.
Lai San stood outside the pharmacy and looked inside. He found that only the medicine boy was pounding the medicine there. "Brother, where is Doctor Qian?"
"It's you," the medicine boy smiled when he saw them, "My master is out seeing patients. Do you have any herbs? My master has already told me what to do. Just give them to me."
"No, we don't have any herbs today." Lai San remembered that Doctor Qian had asked for wild pheasants twice before, so he just picked up a chicken. "It just so happens that I caught some prey this time, so I wanted to ask Doctor Qian if he wants any?"
The medicine boy couldn't make a decision. "I really don't know. Why don't you come over later? My master's medical consultation today is not far away and he won't be gone for long."
Lai San then withdrew his hand and said, "Let's go to the market to set up a stall first. If Doctor Zhen needs it, you can get it at the market."
These things are not something he can decide on his own, Lai San cannot just keep the things.
Not long after they set up their stall, the boss of another mountain who was later assigned to their place also came to the market with his men.
According to the current classification method, they will be considered as fellow villagers from the same village.
Several people greeted each other and set up their stalls together.
Seeing that no one was coming over, we started chatting.
"You have a pretty good catch," Lai San looked at them with some envy, "Did you catch such a big wild boar with a trap, or?"
"We fought together to get this. We almost got hurt because of this guy. It was pretty thrilling." The other party put the cut meat in order, then looked up and said to him.
"You guys are really awesome. If we encounter wild animals like this, we can only run for our lives." Lai San saw their size and then looked at himself. They were not on the same level at all.
Boss Yu said with a smile, "At that time, we asked Wu Xiaoliu to follow us, but he refused. Otherwise, I would have taught you a few tricks to save you from picking up these small prey every day. I guess it would only be enough to make a living."
Lai San's smile faded a little, "It's not bad for us this way. We can plant more land and live a good life in the future.
It’s still too dangerous in the mountains, but I don’t dare risk my life.”
Boss Yu just felt that it was tasteless, and shouted to the guy next to him, "Letian, hurry up and shave the hair on those wild boar legs. People in the county are very picky when buying things, and they are not as easy to negotiate as the villagers."
Gu Letian didn't say anything, but he picked up the blade and started to scrape the hair off the pig's leg.
"He still doesn't like to talk?" If Lai San hadn't heard Gu Letian speak before, he would have thought he was a mute.
Boss Yu still protects his own people, "He is not good at talking, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't talk.
I just like taking him out with me, because he is not like other people who keep talking, which is annoying sometimes. "
Lai San, "That's right. I heard that he and your house are built next to each other, so you can take care of each other in the future."
The place is so small, and they have also heard about Gu Letian's origins. It is said that he fled from a very far place to escape famine, but because he didn't know the direction, he went the wrong way.
He stumbled into the mountain village, without any household registration on him, and few people could understand what he said. He was picked up by Boss Yu who had come down the mountain to exchange things.
Maybe because of the language barrier, he seldom spoke.
They all found it a little strange that after so many years, he had learned the local language and was still as frugal with words as ever.
When someone asked about his hometown, he would just stare blankly into the distance.
Later, someone asked Boss Yu, and Boss Yu said, so what if you know the address of your hometown?
How could he travel such a long distance alone and without any money? Moreover, his whole family fled the famine and their whereabouts were still unknown. Even if he returned, he might not be able to find his family.
