Chapter 332: The Night Shift Knocks on the Door
"I'm sorry, my grandson was a bit harsh just now!"
Following the sound, the village chief Huo Jueyuan walked in.
Xiong Zhan hurriedly explained that he proposed the discussion and asked the old man not to blame the young man.
Huo Jueyuan said, "Those who practice martial arts must cultivate their moral integrity. If you strike so hard in a casual sparring match, the old man will definitely take care of this kid when he gets back."
At this time, the two masters Xiong Zhan and Jiao Mujiao realized that Huo Jueyuan had a solid lower body and full of energy, so he must be a master of martial arts.
Xiong Zhan repeatedly said it was none of his business, and asked curiously, "Old village chief, I see your figure, you must have practiced it when you were young!"
Huo Jueyuan touched his forehead and said, "Our ancestors in Huojia Village inherited the Bazi Fist. After migrating here, thanks to this skill, we were able to hunt and farm in the barren mountains. Later, in order to make a living, the whole village, regardless of gender, used
To learn how to use both hands, my grandson learned from his master. I, an old man, just practiced blindly back then, and I’m far from good!”
As soon as Xiong Zhan started talking about kung fu, he started chatting with the old man endlessly.
He also proposed to compete with his grandson again, but the old man refused.
Zhang Xuebing took this opportunity and said that he wanted to buy some grain as supplies on the road. If he had donkeys, horses and other livestock, he also wanted to buy them to use as leg power.
There are still more than 100 kilometers to the highway from here, and it may not be possible to catch a ride when we get there, so he thought of a snow sledge and planned to get one to save energy.
Huo Jueyuan had a look of embarrassment on his face, "The food village is so crowded that we can still make some money, and the sledge is not a big problem, but the horses have to be used for work, so they can't be sold at all!"
It's so remote here that you can't even get a tractor, and even if you have one, there's no place to refuel.
Therefore, Huojia Village is still engaged in animal power farming, so these large animals are not willing to be sold.
Zhang Xuebing understood their difficulties, and after thinking about it, he took out most of the banknotes he had, including rupees, American knives, and more Chinese coins.
He calculated that it would be enough for tens of thousands of yuan, and immediately said, "You often have fur traders coming here. The money I buy from them to buy food is enough to feed the whole village for a year. Can you think of a way to give us an animal?"
Pulling the sledge, otherwise I'm afraid we might not be able to reach the other side of the road!"
Although the villagers are quite isolated from the outside world, they still use banknotes, so they understand the value of the money.
Huo Jueyuan frowned for a long time, but finally shook his head and said.
"It's not that the old man is stingy. With all this money, I'm afraid that the people in the village will no longer work hard. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality!"
Reluctant to sell to anyone, Zhang Xuebing was at a loss what to do. He suddenly saw a few shotguns standing at the foot of the wall and suddenly thought of an idea.
He stood up, picked up several shotguns, placed them in front of Huo Jueyuan, and said.
"I think the guys in the village are all old-fashioned. These are the new and good things we carry with us. They are useful for hunting and self-defense. Do you think it is feasible to use this plus money to exchange for livestock?"
Huo Jueyuan felt a little relieved when he saw these brand new guys, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
At this moment, a huge head appeared outside and said in surprise, "Old village chief, these are all good things. They are much better than our single-shot cannons, old sleeves, and big horns. Isn't it just an animal? Change it."
If you don’t trade, I’ll trade them with my mules!”
Huo Jueyuan angrily scolded, "Huo San, you have a role to play here, go home and hug your wife to sleep!"
Huo San sighed helplessly and turned away.
Seeing that the old village chief was still undecided, Xiong Zhan was so anxious that he grabbed a large handful of broken metal from his pocket, put it in front of him and said.
"Old man, what about adding this gold?"
Huo Jueyuan suddenly raised his head and glanced at Xiong Zhan, then shook his head and said.
"Gold is a good thing, but we really don't need it. The price you just paid is high enough. If the old man wants your gold again, he will be greedy. So you can rest well. The old man can't do the selling of animals by himself."
Lord, I want to discuss it with you guys, can I give you a message tomorrow morning?"
So far, that's all it's been.
Zhang Xuebing and others packed up their things and took advantage of the remaining warmth in the fire pit to rest.
Xiong Zhan asked, "Boss, are we still taking turns on duty tonight?"
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others.
Although he saw that the people in the village were very kind, but they knew each other well but not their hearts, Zhang Xuebing still cautiously divided everyone into three groups to watch the night.
He was not on night duty yesterday, so he was assigned to the first shift today, so that they would be embarrassed to call him "Xiong Zhan".
Zhang Xuebing got up and closed the door, holding the shotgun in his hand, and sat behind the airy door.
This location can be said to be a good place to advance, attack, retreat or defend. If there is any movement, you can be the first to detect it. It is an excellent place to keep vigil.
Feeling the cold wind rushing in from all directions, Zhang Xuebing couldn't help but shrink his neck. He couldn't help but think that the living conditions of these villagers would not be much better.
I think back then, in Zhangjiacun, when my family's situation was at its worst, it was better than here. At least I wouldn't get cold in the winter.
As his thoughts dispersed, the figures of his sister-in-law and the little girl came to his mind.
What are they doing at this time? It's starting to get cold in the mountains and forests in my hometown. Is my sister-in-law's old illness not showing up? Is the little girl going to school well?
While Zhang Xuebing was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt someone walking back and forth at the door.
Although the sound of stepping on the snow was small, it reached his ears clearly.
Zhang Xuebing couldn't help but tense up. He picked up the shotgun in his arms, leaned towards a crack in the door and looked out.
I saw a figure walking back and forth at the door in the dark night outside.
Looking at the footprints on the ground, this guy usually walks around several times. Could it be that he is here to grind?
Zhang Xuebing did not take any further action when he saw the other party, nor did he wake up Xiong Zhan and the others who were already sleeping. He just concentrated on observing the movements outside.
The man didn't leave for a long time. Just when Zhang Xuebing lost his patience, the man outside suddenly stamped his foot, as if he had made some decision.
He walked a few steps and came to the door, raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
What the hell is this guy doing in the middle of the night?
The knocking on the door became louder and louder, waking up both Xiong Zhan and Jiaomu Jiao.
Without saying a word, the two picked up the shotgun and dagger respectively and approached the door.
Zhang Xuebing turned his head and looked at the two of them. At this time, there were more people inside him than outside, so he shouted loudly.
"Who's out there? It's so late at night. If you have anything to say, let's talk tomorrow!"
As soon as Zhang Xuebing finished speaking, the man outside said in a low voice.
"Open the door for me, I have a business to discuss with you!"
Zhang Xuebing listened carefully and found that the voice sounded familiar. He suddenly remembered someone and immediately opened the door.
