Time travel means exile?With medical skills in hand, I can become rich

Chapter 44 Black Wolf Clan Leader
"They're back, they're all back!"

The man on duty at the village gate immediately shouted happily when he saw Shuba and others.

The people of the Black Wolf tribe rushed to greet him at the entrance of the village, especially the children in the village, whose eyes were filled with anticipation.

When those men came back last time, they not only brought copper coins, but also brought bean dregs cakes from the construction site to the children in the village.

Knowing that they were going back, Wen Yunxi specially asked the kitchen staff to deep-fry it, so that it could be stored for many days and tasted crisper and more fragrant.

The north of Lanzhou is full of mountains and deep forests, and crops can hardly grow. The main livelihood depends on wild fruits and vegetables and hunting.

Before Lanzhou surrendered to the You Dynasty, they used animal skins and medicinal herbs to trade with other tribes in Heishiyuan for rice and weapons.

After surrendering, although he could still go to the county town to sell leather medicinal herbs, the prices were getting cheaper and cheaper. Not only was there less rice in exchange, but he couldn't even afford the things that came from Youchao.

Therefore, although wheat flour and beans are sold in the county, few Black Wolf tribe members can afford them.

Many people have never even tasted beans and wheat.

The simple bean dregs pancakes are something that the children of the Black Wolf clan miss.

After confirming that the salary was really twenty cents per day, and that he was well fed and fed every day, more than a hundred people followed him to the construction site.

Now seeing more than a hundred people coming back with large and small bags, the children were crazy with joy and gathered around them asking for food.

Shuba smiled and distributed jujube cakes to the children.

"Wow, what is this!"

"So sweet, soft, and delicious!"

"Uncle Shuba, can I take a piece back to Grandma?"

Shuba touched the black monkey-like boy in front of him and said, "You eat first, there are old people too."

The jujube cake was novel and precious to them. They were afraid that it would spoil after being on the road for a long time, so they didn't even rest at night and rushed back to the village in the afternoon of the next day.

They ate at the construction site before leaving, and each of them brought bean dreg cakes that Wen Yunxi specially asked the kitchen to make. Although they were salivated by the sweetness of the jujube cakes, they did not eat even one piece.

Now looking at the happy faces of these children in the clan, they feel that it is worth all the hardship and fatigue.

When Shuba was on the road, he discussed it with the tribesmen. Although they were brought for his own children, they all decided to distribute these date cakes to the children and elders of the tribe.

One piece for each child and half a piece for the elderly. It's not much, but it makes them happy.

The toothless old man broke off a piece of jujube cake and put it in his mouth. It was soft and sweet, and he slowly ate it with his eyes closed in enjoyment.

He put the remaining jujube cake close to his chest, raised his head and asked, "Shuba, is the construction site completed so soon? Will there be any work like this in the future?"

Before Shuba could answer, the men next to him began to curse, "They were imprisoned by those bastards from the Zhanyue tribe. They even wanted to destroy the construction site, but we gave them a good beating."

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to ask questions.

Waves of curses soon erupted from the gate of the village.

The Zhanyue people are really indifferent to human affairs. They have closed down such good places and are not allowed to open medical clinics outside the county, so they can only be defrauded by other doctors!

Speaking of cheating money, and thinking of the increasingly higher taxes, I wanted to rush over and beat them up immediately.

It was agreed five years ago that each family would only need to pay five skins as tax, but it has increased year by year. Now they no longer accept skins, but only copper coins.

They didn't notice the problem at first. It wasn't until the price of leather in the county became lower and lower that they realized they had been cheated by the Zhanyue people again.

In the past, a piece of skin could be exchanged for thirty kilograms of rice, but now the money sold cannot even buy twenty kilograms.

This is still a manageable life, but as long as a family member gets sick, the whole family will go bankrupt.

Witch doctors and Han doctors with real medical skills all live in Black Rock City. They pay first and then treat them. Especially the Yishengtang, where poor people cannot even enter.

They have heard of the reputation of Divine Doctor Wen in remote places like this. Not only is the Green Bamboo Medicine God reincarnated, but he can also bring in magical medicine that can make people heal instantly.

Moreover, he is a rare kind and benevolent doctor. Not only does his consultation fee be low, but he also arranges work when the family is in trouble.

Where can I find such a doctor?
But those bastards from the Zhanyue tribe wouldn't even allow her to open a medical clinic.

This is not over yet!Although the Black Wolf Clan is in dire straits now, they are not without blood.

The indignant Black Wolf clan members did not notice that Shuba quietly left the crowd.

In the patriarch's room.

Xu Hui was sitting cross-legged at a low table drinking wine when he heard a knock on the door and immediately asked someone to come in.

When he saw it was Shoba, his eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled him to the table to sit down, and poured him a glass of wine.

"Why are you back so soon? Please tell me something."

He and Shuba's father are good brothers. He has watched Shuba grow up and he likes his nephew very much.

Shuba raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, wiped the water stains on his mouth, and started talking in detail.

After half an hour.

Xu Hui looked thoughtfully at the copper plates that Shuba took out from his arms.

“How many different races are there on the construction site?”

Shuba thought for a while and said: "The ten foremen are all Han Chinese. I heard that they were exiled to Lanzhou together with Divine Doctor Wen. They were some prominent figures in the Imperial City of the Central Plains before."

Xu Hui nodded, he had heard this from others.

The Central Plains Dynasty likes to exile criminals. Even the Black Wolf Clan would not dare to step on that exile road at will. Those who can survive have some ability and luck.

Shuba continued: "The number of construction workers has been increasing. Until the day before yesterday, there were nearly 2000 people, more than 800 Zhanyue people, and the rest are from the north or central part of us."

The north is poor and the central part is close.

As for the south, they are all rich and are allies of the Zhanyue tribe, so there is no need to travel so far to do work.

Xu Hui tapped his finger on the table and suddenly asked: "Where is the Shuiyi tribe? How many people have gone?"

Shuba was stunned when he was asked. He had not paid special attention to the number of Shui Yi tribe members.

After closing his eyes and thinking carefully for a while, Shuba said in surprise: "No, not one."

This is unreasonable. Are the Shuiyi people already so rich that they don’t care about these wages?

Xu Hui thought for a moment, then stroked his beard and smiled.

After Lanzhou surrendered to Youchao, the people who were most affected were the Shuiyi tribe.

They were once able to compete with the Zhanyue tribe for first place. After their disastrous defeat in the Xingyuan War, not only did they lose tens of thousands of troops, they were unable to even enter Blackstone City.

In the past five years, the Shuiyi tribe has been targeted by the Zhanyue tribe and has almost no place to stand. Even their weapons business has been squeezed a lot.

It stands to reason that the Shuiyi tribe cannot enter Black Rock City, but Pingxiba can indeed go there. It is close to there, so many people should be able to send many people to do the work.

But there is not even a Shuiyi tribe member.

There are only three possibilities.

Wen Yunxi was afraid of the Zhanyue tribe and did not dare to contact the Shuiyi tribe.

Or maybe Wen Yunxi has been connected with the Shuiyi tribe for a long time, and the Shuiyi tribe has other ways to make money, so there is no need to work there.

Or maybe Wen Yunxi made an agreement with the Shuiyi tribe to prevent the Shuiyi tribe members from appearing in order to reveal information to interested people.

Which reason is obvious at a glance.

"Shuba, please run again." Xu Hui whispered in Shuba's ear.

Shuba nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Xu Hui waved his hand, "Go."

Watching Shuba's leaving figure, Xu Hui poured himself another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

Sang Fu, you were the first to be unjust!
