Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

At this time every year, these barbarians would also come to the glacier to wait.

He and Fatty Chen have been doing this business for several years. Neither side dared to make it too public. They both knew that this matter was of great importance and if not handled properly it could cost the lives of the entire family.

Every time he met Fatty Chen, the place was far away from where Er Laizi was waiting for him.

But he waited on the grassland for several days, but Fatty Chen, who came to trade with him every year, never showed up.

Then he walked from the previous place towards Hanjia Village.

When the barbarian saw Er Laizi, he picked up the long knife in his hand and put it on Er Laizi's neck.

Er Laizi had seen this barbarian from afar and knew that this was the person he was waiting for.

He hurriedly gestured and spoke again before he made his purpose clear.

The barbarian waited in silence for Er Laizi to demonstrate for a long time before removing the long knife from his neck. Speaking in the stiff Da Zhou dialect, he asked, "Where is that fat man? Why didn't he come?"

When Er Laizi heard that this barbarian could speak the language of the Great Zhou, he immediately laughed happily.

If we can communicate, we can get this deal done. While waiting for this barbarian, Er Laizi kept thinking about how to clearly express the exchange of people.

The set of movements he had just demonstrated with the barbarian were carefully designed by him, trying to accurately express his meaning.

Even though he gestured for a long time, the barbarian didn't show any expression and thought his efforts were in vain.

Seeing that the barbarian could speak the language of the Great Zhou, Er Laizi hurriedly explained: "The fat man died of illness, so I am here to make a deal with you."

With just one word, Er Laizi sent Fatty Chen to see the King of Hell. Fatty Chen was now as good as dead, and he couldn't run back from the military camp anyway.

The dead cannot be traded, so it’s just right to have him as a replacement.

Er Laizi was still worried that the barbarian would suspect him, so he hurriedly said, "We have plenty of food this year. Not only food, but also salt and candles. We can also exchange some medicinal herbs for you."

Whenever the barbarians make a trade, they usually exchange these things.

Er Laizi saw that Hanjia Village had distributed a lot of these things recently.

He couldn't do this business alone, he just wanted to get in touch with this barbarian and make a little profit from the difference.

The barbarian didn't care whether Fatty Chen lived or died. As long as someone could make a deal with him, he didn't care who the person was.

Anyway, the transaction takes place on their barbarian side, and the people of the Great Zhou can't do anything about it.

"Wait for me here in three days with food and herbs."

The barbarian left a word and walked away with his sword in hand.

After the barbarians left with their knives, Er Laizi put the last few bites of dry biscuits into his mouth and chewed them for a while. After calming down, he quickly got up and ran back to the village.

Er Laizi returned to the village and waited at the entrance of Hanjia Village. He didn't dare to run to Hanjia Village to find Village Chief Han.

The wound from the last beating had just healed, and he didn't dare go up and get beaten again.

Er Laizi waited until Village Chief Han was out for a walk, and told him about his discovery of the barbarians.

"Village Chief Han, I've been thinking that we can't stop this business. If the barbarians have food and medicinal herbs, they won't think of stealing them from us. Village Chief Han, do you think I'm right?"

Er Laizi was trying to please Village Chief Han while lobbying hard. This was a deal he had been waiting for after almost freezing to death on the grassland.

After listening to Er Laizi's words, Village Chief Han did not directly say whether to continue trading with the barbarians. He sent Er Laizi back to the outer village to wait. He had to discuss it carefully with Xu Miao before making a decision.

"Go back to the village and wait. Don't tell anyone about the barbarians. This is a serious matter that could cost you your life. Don't tell anyone about it."

Before leaving, Village Chief Han did not forget to remind Er Laizi to watch his mouth and not to shout so that everyone would know.

In previous years, when doing this deal with Fatty Chen, Village Chief Han was always extremely cautious, fearing that too many people would know about it and it would be a disaster if it got out.

Er Laizi nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Village Chief Han, I know this could be fatal if it goes wrong. I promise not to tell anyone."

Er Laizi would never tell anyone about his contact with the barbarians. If other people in other villages knew about it, how would he make money?

On his way back to the village, Han Dahai came looking for him. As soon as they met, Han Dahai told Han Dahai that the major general had come to Xu Miao's house. He also asked Han Dahai if he wanted Zhou Jicheng to take the finished gloves back to the barracks.

"Dad, I saw the Major General come to Sister Miao's house alone, and I don't know what happened. Do you think it would be okay for the Major General to take those gloves back to the barracks?"

Han Dahai was also unsure whether Zhou Jicheng could bring the things back to the barracks, so he discussed it with Village Chief Han.

Village Chief Han: "Don't worry about whether the young general is willing to wear them or not. Go back and pack those gloves. I'll take them to your sister Xu Miao's house to ask."

Village chief Han was just about to talk to Xu Miao about making a deal with the barbarians, and he also wanted to meet the major general and see why Zhou Jicheng came to Xu Miao's house.

After listening to what Village Chief Han said, Xu Miao was still undecided whether to continue with the deal.

He frowned and asked Village Chief Han: "Uncle Han, do you think we should continue this deal now?"

"Hanjia Village is not short of food now. At least this winter, the villagers can live a stable life."

Village Chief Han knocked on the pipe in his hand, filled it with another bag of tobacco, lit it, took a few puffs, and then said to Xu Miao, "I think we have to continue this business."

"Er Laizi is right. If the barbarians don't lack food and clothing, they can't come here to rob us."

"I'm not sure how much food we should exchange with them."

Village Chief Han took two more puffs of his cigarette and then discussed with Xu Miao.

"We still have a lot of surplus food in Hanjia Village. After distributing it to the whole village last time, there is still a lot of food left in the house in my yard."

"I want to save it for the New Year and then give some to the villagers."

"If we exchange all this food for furs, we can get a lot back."

"But if we exchange too much with the barbarians, I'm worried that they might become malicious and try to rob us."

"A Miao, how much should you think about?"

It is dangerous not to trade, but it is not easy to continue trading.

The geographical location of Hanjia Village is really a bit off-putting. I have to think carefully about everything before making a decision.

After hearing what Village Chief Han said, Xu Miao was also troubled. Doing business with barbarians really couldn't continue for long. If you try to get the skin of a tiger, you will get into trouble sooner or later.

"Uncle Han, how about we do the same as in previous years and bring back less stuff this year?"

"If this business were to stop suddenly, I'd be worried too."

"This winter will remain the same as last year. As long as we make sure the barbarians don't come here to steal our food during the winter, we'll figure out a solution next year."

Xu Miao thought it would be better to stop the transaction immediately. If something went wrong during the private transaction, Zhou Jicheng would not be able to protect her.

Village Chief Han stopped smoking when he heard what Xu Miao said and quickly replied, "I'll keep this business for one last year. Next year, I won't do this head-losing business no matter what."

"Isn't this all because of poverty? If the village had more money than it needed, who would want to do this lousy business that could cost them their lives?"

"Don't mention this matter about A Miao to the Major General. Don't cause any trouble for him!"
