Pig Killer

Chapter 300

"Don't forget that you have a legitimate reason to be a disciple." Huang Zhongchang kindly reminded his wife.

"You are not the only one who built the imperial mausoleum. Everyone has seen the pulley. Don't you want the credit?" Shen Hui'e rolled her eyes at him unhappily.

"You...you are not allowed to look for someone else!" Huang Zhongchang said hurriedly, "I won't allow you to! I am here, so what's the big deal about you looking for someone else?"

"Then why are you still holding Qiao?" Shen Hui'e looked at him angrily.

"Just don't take it!" Huang Zhongchang said as if he was defeated by her.

"Then let's go find Liu Ding in the evening." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "Have you rested enough? Let's go!"

The two men began to plow the land again, leaving behind the turned yellow earth with each step.

"I don't know how the talk between Mr. Zhang and the Yu family went?" Huang Zhongchang said as he walked, his body bent.

"It's been two months since he left!" Shen Hui'e said after calculating the days silently.

"Got it." Huang Zhongchang nodded when he heard it.

"The rebel forces are weak now and need to unite to fight against the imperial court. I believe the Yu family will not refuse." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark eyes and said, "As for what kind of people the Yu family are like, we will know after getting to know them. What about being courteous to the wise and humble! This reputation is all exaggerated."

"Hearing is not as good as seeing." Huang Zhongchang chuckled.

"No matter what kind of person he is, our temporary goals are the same." Shen Hui'e said with her clear eyes flashing with light.

After a day's work, Huang Zhongchang sat on a bench in the camp and massaged his shoulders.

"Are you okay?" Shen Hui'e asked with concern, staring at his shoulder.

"It's okay! I haven't done it for a long time, and I'm a little uncomfortable." Huang Zhongchang said, pounding his shoulder.

"Dad, let me give you a massage." The big tiger said, standing behind him.

"Okay! Give me a shoulder massage, son." Huang Zhongchang put down his hands, sat down, and enjoyed his son's shoulder massage.

"Mother, did you encounter the Huns this time when you were suppressing the bandits?" Li Nu asked, looking at her with his watery eyes.

"We really met." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with clear eyes.

"What do they look like? Are they fierce? Did you fight them?" the big tiger said excitedly.

"It was a brief fight. They were outnumbered and surrendered quickly." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "We beat them into submission."

"Did they really fight?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her nervously and asked.

"Don't worry, no one was hurt. Theirs must be a small tribe that was driven away. The leader's name is Wu Lihuan. He is not very old, only fifteen years old." Shen Hui'e said to them with a cold gaze.

"So small." said the big insect in surprise.

"Not young anymore. Children of poor families have to grow up early." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "That child's eyes are as fierce as a wolf's, and his skills are not bad."

"To be able to be the leader of a tribe, it seems he has some ability." Huang Zhongchang guessed after hearing this.

"Yeah!" Shen Hui nodded with a smile.

"Does he agree to do business?" asked the raccoon slave, looking at her with his big eyes.

"Of course, salt looks good, no one can refuse it." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her shiny black eyes and said, "The problem is that they have no money."

"What business can you do without money?" Huang Zhongchang said immediately after hearing this, tapping his thigh with his index finger, "But it would be good to pass on the message."

"Father, this is too obvious!" The big tiger scratched his head and said, "It's not appropriate."

"Am I a fool? Of course I won't speak so directly. Can't you ask about the route and terrain?" Huang Zhongchang said to them with his dark eyes.

"The little guy is very cautious and won't tell you easily." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't know if he will think that far ahead. First of all, he is afraid that you will dump him and do business with other tribes."

"Then what should we do? What should we exchange for it?" Huang Zhongchang asked her without blinking his dark eyes.

"They herd horses and sheep..."

Huang Zhongchang said without thinking, "Horses belong to the military, they will definitely not trade with us."

"The mutton is delicious." The big tiger looked at them with his black eyes and said, pounding his shoulders with his hands, but he didn't slow down at all.

"Greedy cat." Li Nu said with a smile when he heard it.

"Aren't you greedy? I heard that mutton is very delicious and not so smelly." The big insect said with a smacking of his lips.

"Can the sheep be driven here from such a distance? If we kill it, won't it be bad if it's so far away?" The raccoon slave said to them with his eyes like black grapes.

"It will definitely break down." The big tiger echoed, "Then what can we exchange it for? What can we get on the grassland?"

"You guys are so anxious that you didn't even listen to what I said." Shen Hui'e looked at them with amusement and said, "If you can't eat mutton, this wool is also a good thing."

"What can wool be used for? Sheep skin can be used to make coats." The raccoon slave looked down at the sheepskin coat he was wearing and said, "But how many sheep do we need to kill for this?"

"After the wool is sheared, it can be spun into yarn, like twisting hemp rope, or weaving it into sacks, or into gloves and socks." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "The wool will grow longer after it is sheared, so you can keep shearing it."

"If that's the case, can we knit socks and gloves and put them on our bodies like sacks? I wonder if they will keep us warm?" Huang Zhongchang said to her with sparkling eyes.

"It's definitely better than linen, just one layer." The raccoon slave said, grabbing his sheepskin coat.

"Aren't you afraid of getting pricked?" Shen Hui'e said with amusement as she looked at them with their "weird ideas".

"Isn't this linen prickly?" Huang Zhongchang shrank his neck and moved his head. "It itches! It gets even more itchy when I sweat."

"This sheepskin coat feels soft, how can it be prickly?" The cat slave said to her while holding his sheepskin coat.

"Come back and try! As long as it can keep you warm, it's better than packing hay!" Huang Zhongchang smiled at her with his big black and white eyes, "What else can you exchange it for besides wool?"

"Goat milk, cow milk." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright dark eyes and said.

"Can this be eaten?" The big insect looked at his mother with his black eyes and said, "Isn't that what lambs and calves eat?"

"You can still eat beef and mutton! Why can't you eat goat's milk and cow's milk?" Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile on her face.

"But how do we transport this? Won't it get damaged? It's a thousand miles away." Li Nu said worriedly.

"Does this need further improvement?" said the big insect cleverly, "Like making pork into bacon!"

"Snap..." Shen Hui'e snapped her fingers, looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Smart!" She smiled and said, "As for how to do it? They have to figure it out by themselves. After all, they often eat it, but we rarely eat it."

"That's right! I've never drunk goat's milk in my life." The cat slave licked his lips and said, "I don't know what it tastes like."

"I don't know, I'll have a chance to taste it." The big tiger looked at them with his black eyes and said, "Now my mother wants to trade with the Xiongnu and exchange salt for their wool."

"This is the only way for now." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with gentle eyes.

"Then shall we do this business?" the raccoon asked, looking at her with eyes like black grapes, 'It seems a bit disadvantageous.'

"Do it!" Huang Zhongchang looked at them with deep eyes and said, "Whether we will suffer a loss or not is another matter. Knowing ourselves and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. We will have to face the Xiongnu sooner or later, so we cannot be completely ignorant of them."

"To do business with them, our people have to learn their language." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and penetrating eyes.

"Do you still need to learn how to speak like them?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her in surprise.

"Of course, I don't understand how you can get information!" Shen Hui'e said unhappily.

"Is he studious?" Huang Zhongchang asked worriedly.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you can't learn." Shen Hui'e looked at them with bright eyes and said, "It's just like learning someone's native dialect..."

"Every place has a different accent." Huang Zhongchang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pointed at her with a trembling index finger and said, "Zhu Zi, learn to speak like your fellow soldiers. The better you learn, the more authentic you will be!"

"I thought of him right away!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "This difficult task will be given to him."

"He's still young!" Huang Zhongchang said to her with a frown.

"Did I say he was alone? The organized caravan has hundreds of people." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her jade-like eyes.

"That's good. Safety must be guaranteed." Huang Zhongchang nodded when he heard it.

"Tell our people to use their eyes and ears to see, these are aboveboard. Don't deliberately pry into other people's internal affairs." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and bottomless eyes and said, "Even if you want to ask questions, you must do it without leaving any traces."

"This mother is the best." said the big tiger with a smile.

"You kid." Shen Hui'e looked at him gently and said.

"What if there is a fight between tribes?" Huang Zhongchang suddenly remembered and looked at her and asked.

"Don't intervene." Shen Hui'e said without thinking, and thought about it with her lips tightly pursed. This is the era of conquering people with virtue, the virtue of martial virtue, and the era of using fists to reason. So she said, "If you can't bully us, you can deal with it as appropriate!"

"Yes!" Huang Zhongchang nodded and said, "I'll take care of it."

"Keep it a secret!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her index finger on her lips.

"Yes!" said the raccoon cutely, covering his mouth!

"We are going to farm, what are you doing?" Huang Zhongchang asked lazily with his eyes half closed.

"Oh! We are sowing seeds!" said the big insect with a smile. "The seed drill made by my mother doesn't need us to bend over all the time."

"It's fun, right?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade.

"It's really fun." The big insect smiled as brightly as the sunset glow, "I'm sowing seeds as I walk."

"It's just a bit dry today. If it doesn't rain, I don't know if it can sprout successfully." Li Nu said worriedly.

"Speaking of this, your mother has already thought of a solution." Huang Zhongchang opened his eyes, turned his head slightly and looked at him.

"What method?" asked the raccoon curiously.

"Waterwheel." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile on his face.
