Chapter 11 Another Foreign Language

When he learned of the reward, Zhao Chuanxin wanted to keep the fungus technology.

If it was to be used on any animal, he felt that it would be more appropriate if it was a horse.

The transportation is very inconvenient these days, and riding a horse is a very good choice.

If it's a bird, that's also appropriate.Birds can fly around, can detect the enemy's situation, and can become Zhao Chuanxin's third eye.

He doesn't have a horse right now, nor a bird, so he's going to keep the fungus technology for now.

But, by accident, he was licked away by the dry rice.

What can a dog do?
If it is a hound, it can hunt.But judging by the size of the rice, it is obvious that it is not a powerful hunting dog, maybe just a dirt dog.Even if it is a foreign dog, it is also a native dog from abroad.

What are you doing now?

Just point at it to look after the nursing home?

So, snap, close the diary, Zhao Chuanxin picked up the rice, and rubbed the cheeks of the rice vigorously.

"You ruined my big business, you bastard!"

Cooking rice: "Wow woof..."

But Zhao Chuanxin seemed to understand the meaning of cooking rice.

"Put me down!"

Although this was expected, Zhao Chuanxin was still "shocked".

Growing up so big, I have never heard of anyone who can understand dog language!
Is it so easy to learn a foreign language?

Following the method taught by the forest elves, he focused and asked, "Why are you licking my palm?"

Cooked rice: "Delicious!"

Well, it's pretty exciting.

He is not talking to Ganfan.

This little thing's brain is obviously not fully developed, just like a child, it is nothing but eating and playing!
Moreover, talking to the dog in public will make him look stupid, isn't it? Didn't you see the kid over there snickering there?

Although the Han people also keep dogs, but in terms of the degree of intimacy with dogs, they must be full of people.Manchu people often say a word: dogs are big and children are fat!

This sentence describes a family that is rich, with big dogs and fat children.

They compare dogs to their own children.

The Manchu people do not eat dog meat. Legend has it that a dog saved the life of the old Han King a long time ago.

Defu, who was digging yellow mud on the side of the road outside the village, was stopped by a man with a beard and a turban.

The man took out a small handful of wild fruits, forced a smirk on his face, and asked him, "Son, is there someone named Zhao Chuanxin in your village?"

Defu rolled his eyes, took the handful of wild fruits first, and curled his lips in disdain: "Is there any sugar? What about snacks? Nothing? Wild fruits, who cares about them, we can pick them ourselves, one day Pick a basket of dirt, it's sour."

The smirk on the man's face froze, and he began to look at the other children.

Defu was even more disdainful: "If you want to inquire about something, you must find me, and they all listen to me!"

The man cursed secretly, the scholar said a good saying: Only women and children are hard to raise!

He took out a small knife from his pocket: "You tell me, this knife is for you."

The eyeballs rolled again, and Defu smiled: "Well, although I don't care about your broken knife, but since you have considered the etiquette, I will answer you."

First he snatched the knife, wiped it on himself, put it in his bosom beautifully, and continued: "There is indeed such a person."

"Then where does he live?"

"I live at the west end of the village. If you walk here, you will arrive there in less than a quarter of an hour. It is the smallest house in the whole village. It is very dilapidated, and you can recognize it at a glance."

"Does he have a good relationship with Zhao Zhongyi?"

"The two are relatives!"

"What kind of person is he?"

This time, Defu thought about it seriously: "This person is tall and thin, and his appearance is so-so. He is not a good person, and he is not popular here. There are not many people who talk to him, and he meets the most. Nod."

But I thought in my heart: He is new here, he doesn't know anyone except Zhao Zhongyi and Liu Baogui, isn't that just unpopular?
He continued: "He is stingy and cunning. He not only robs other people's houses by half-buying, but even bullies children. This person also thinks highly of himself and is arrogant. Even the nobles of XHQ in the village, he dares to speak sarcasm .”

The man listened, and his brows stretched.

After a while, he asked again: "Then does he make friends with dignitaries and know some important people?"

Defu sneered: "You ask too much, but a broken knife is not enough, I want to increase the price!"

The man's face was gloomy, he pulled out his sleeves, and took out a few copper coins from inside: "Is it all right now?"

The world is going down!Even children are such philistines, no wonder the Qing Dynasty has signs of subjugation, making the Eight Kingdoms stand up and ride their necks to shit!

Defu chuckled, and quickly stuffed the copper money into his pocket, so swiftly that it made one's heart ache.He turned his hand away, and said like a little adult: "Associate with powerful people? He is also worthy! He doesn't even know where the gate of the county government is open! The only people who are close to him are Liu Baogui, a bachelor, and Zhao Zhongyi. Useless."

At this time, a child next to him quit: "Defu, I forbid you to say that about my father!"

Telford turned his head and winked at the child, and the child shut up obediently.

"Today, these words I asked you, don't tell outsiders. Otherwise, I will come to you and take back my knife and money."

After speaking, the man turned his head and walked away satisfied.

Defu turned around and yelled at Zhao Hongzhi: "Are you stupid? Didn't you see that I was teasing a fool? You almost ruined my business!"

Zhao Hongzhi sniffed his nose, and his stupid head seemed to light up a bit: "Ah, what's the matter?"

"It's okay. Fortunately, I'm smart enough. I fooled that person away. Here are a few copper coins he gave. Hey, let's save them up, and wait for the salesman to buy candied haws in winter!"

"Oh, that's great, we're going to eat candied haws!"

……

"Hurry up and hide. A stranger came to the village and dragged me to ask things and find out your details. I think he has a beard and a leopard head with eyes around him. He is no different from the mang Zhang Fei in the drama. , must be a lock on the mountain. I'm afraid it will be bad for you..."

As soon as Telford turned his head, he sold the man.

Zhao Chuanxin was taken aback. Didn't Steward Niu promise that he would settle it?
Moreover, if it was a trick, how would he know my name, Zhao Chuanxin?
It's a bit messy and needs to be sorted out.

Thinking of the forest elves, yes, the mask of disguise, the steward, the name, the upside down...

hiss……

Are the routines so deep these days?
What kind of loyal elder does Niu Guanshi seem to be, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he actually betrayed his comrades?

No, you must be prepared.

If you went to the Niu's house to report something at this time, but the words were unfounded, and Manager Niu had been operating in the Niu's house for many years, would people believe him as an outsider?
Apart from Niujia, it seems difficult to borrow from other places.

Liu Guigui said that the local county government is incompetent, and Zhu Zhaokui, the magistrate of the state, and his general Fule Jiyang are as afraid of bandits as rats.

So, who is left?

It seems that the only way to do it is by yourself.

He set off immediately to Zhao Zhongyi's house.

Liu Guigui also came back with a tired face carrying snacks.

Zhao Chuanxin told the two of them about what happened and his speculation.

Zhao Zhongyi and Liu Guigui turned pale with shock: "How could this be?"

Zhao Zhongyi was especially inconceivable: "It must be impossible, it is absolutely impossible, Steward Niu treats me like a father and brother, he has always been kind, and in the Niu family caravan, everyone respects and loves him, how could he do such a thing?"

Liu Guigui is very similar to Zhao Chuanxin in a certain way, he has always treated a gentleman with a villain's heart: "Nothing is impossible, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. But, how should we deal with it?"

The two looked at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin stroked the stubble growing on his chin: "Don't panic, they are human beings, they don't have superhuman powers. Our advantage is that we knew in advance that they wanted to deal with us, and brother, you have martial arts.

In our village, there is only one way to enter.It is expected that the locker is not willing to turn over the mountain and take a detour.This is another advantage.

Brother, do you still remember the scene when I was robbed that day?It's a good place. If we lie in ambush there and the gangsters come, as long as the number of people is not too large, we can kill them by surprise, and maybe we can solve the problem once and for all.

The locker kills and sets fire, usually at night.

So, in the past few days, I let Telford and the others stare at them during the day.At night, we went there to ambush. "

The more they listened, the brighter their eyes became.

But Liu Baogui still has doubts: "Then what if there are a lot of them?"

Zhao Zhongyi spread his hands: "A lot of people? Then we will fight, killing one is enough money, and killing two will make money! Otherwise, we can only run away with our families! But guess, even if we escape, we may can escape."

For him personally, he can actually choose to run on his own.

But that was his great ancestor.

Historically, both Zhao Zhongyi's mother and wife were killed by a gangster, and the child and him escaped by accident.

Now that things are going off track, the entire Zhao family might be wiped out.

He continued: "But don't worry too much. Even if there are many people, they have a foreign gun. In order to maintain the foreign gun, they usually don't bolt it. Let's kill them by surprise. As long as they get into the crowd, they will be in a hurry and may not be in time. Pull the bolt. Even if the bolt is pulled, they dare not shoot indiscriminately in the environment of their own people. The current situation is that they either kill them or kill them!"
