Peerless Young Master

Chapter 32 Going down the mountain

run away?

Are you kidding me? Am I that kind of person?

You're right, that's who I am.

This is the fact, but Li Xuan would never admit it: "I have always lived in the county town. Coming to the mountains all of a sudden is like a duck entering the water. It is indeed a bit difficult to start.

But if you let me go down the mountain, I can guarantee that I can collect enough food for you for a year in just one day."

"Boasting" Xiao Xuan poured cold water on it.

Li Xuan pretended not to hear and looked at Xiao Yidao. Only by persuading the other party could he achieve his goal.

As long as I get down the mountain and take the opportunity to get rid of them, I will be like a dragon returning to the sea and a roc spreading its wings, and I will be able to roam the world freely.

Xiao Yidao was silent for a while: "The situation on this mountain is very complicated, not what you think; well, since you don't understand, I will tell you.

The road at the foot of the mountain has been taken away by the big village. If you want to leave, you must pass through their territory.

If they agree, they have to pay the toll. If they don't agree, we can only take a detour.

If we take a detour, it will be too far.

Aren’t you curious about why we appeared in Qingfeng City when we were clearly in Black Dragon Mountain? This is the reason."

Li Xuan blinked. He had no idea that there was such a thing going on.

If that’s the case, then if you want to go down the mountain, you have to pay a toll first.

He thought about it and found this a bit difficult.

After all, these people still have the label he put on their foreheads - poor.

But if I can't go down the mountain, how can I leave here? I can't stay here forever. It's better to die. At least I don't have to suffer so much.

"If you can't go down the mountain, how will you live? You have to go to the county town for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating."

“Black Dragon Mountain is huge, even bigger than you think. With so many people living on the mountain, if there’s no food, there will be no peace down there.

In this mountain, there is a place called Black Cliff, which you can also understand as a market. As long as you have money, everything is sold there.

Of course, the price is also very high. Even a pound of rice costs three taels of silver.

Of course, a small village like ours can’t afford to eat all the food, so we have to take a detour down the mountain to bring back some food, but this food can’t last for a few months.”

Black Dragon Mountain is very large, and there are many bandits and robbers lurking there, but no one knows exactly how many there are.

The officials don’t know, and neither do the bandits in Heilongshan.

After all, people die every day, and some are forced to go up the mountain to become bandits. Some villages disappear, and new ones appear...

Having so many people living in this harsh environment can indeed protect them from being arrested by officers and soldiers, but it also puts them in danger of death.

That means there is no food.

If the bandits have no food, they can only go down the mountain to massacre the villages and steal food.

The official naturally didn't want to see this scene.

Similarly, the bandits had a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in their hands, but when they were trapped in the mountains, these things were no different from stones.

Therein lies the business opportunity.

Thus, with the cooperation of various forces, Black Cliff appeared.

"To be honest, you can only catch fish if you fish where there are fish. If you want to get food, you have to go down the mountain."

Li Xuan laid his cards on the table. He couldn't conjure up food out of thin air.

"I think you shouldn't bother with this. Just admit defeat and let me kill you with one blow and be done with it." Xiao Xuan couldn't forget this.

Li Xuan: ...

"It's not impossible to go down the mountain." Xiao Yidao certainly knew this: "But the money I have can only pay the toll once. Even if I pay, I may still face robbery.

If you really have a way, please write down what you need and we will go down the mountain to buy it for you."

He still doubted me, afraid that I would run away after going down the mountain... Li Xuan thought to himself: "Okay, I will think about it carefully when I get back, and write it down when I have figured it out."

"Okay, but don't be too anxious. Take your time. Some things can't be rushed."

After Li Xuan left, Xiao Xuan was a little anxious: "Dad, you really believe him, he is just a gigolo, how can he have such ability;

It sounds nice, but I think he just wants to run away.”

"Whether he has the ability or not, we have to go down the mountain. There is not enough food in the village, so we must go down the mountain to get food, otherwise we won't be able to survive this winter."

Xiao Yidao's brows were furrowed with worry. It was already late autumn. If he couldn't store enough food at this time, he would be dead when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow.

Therefore, even if Li Xuan didn't say it, he had to consider going down the mountain.

"Dad, let me go with you," Xiao Xuan volunteered.

"Let's wait and see, what if he comes up with a solution?" Xiao Yidao still had high hopes for Li Xuan.

After all, scholars have better brains.

…………

three days later.

"This is what you want. None of it is edible. Are you sure you wrote it correctly?"

Xiao Yidao looked at the contents of the note. Even though he was knowledgeable, he didn't understand what Li Xuan was up to.

Isn’t it about getting food?

How did it become a grocery store, and the kind that can’t be eaten?

Xiao Xuan was also curious and tilted her head. When she saw what was written on the note, she was also confused and said in a bad tone:

“What do these things have to do with food? Don’t play tricks.

Let me tell you, it’s not easy to go down the mountain, and if you delay things, I will never let you go.”

"I won't joke about my life. These things are a way to make money. When you buy them, you will know what I want to do."

Li Xuan also wanted to buy food and flour, but the mountains and plains were full of bandits. Even if he bought them, he couldn't transport them to the village, so it was better not to buy them.

If you want to get food, you can only adopt a roundabout tactic.

"Okay, I believe you won't joke with your own life." Xiao Yidao put the note into his sleeve, took a few people out of the village and went down the mountain.

Before leaving, Xiao Xuan whispered to a strong man: "Watch Li Xuan, if he tries to escape, break his legs."

Junshan stands tall and majestic, surrounded by clouds and mist, and three people are walking in it.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, an arrow stuck in the ground, only ten feet away from the three people.

Xiao Xuan and Da Mo immediately became alert, took out their weapons, and stared around.

At this time, a man jumped down from the tree with a bow and arrow in his hand, and two people walked out from behind the rock with spears in their hands.

One of them said: "Who are you? This is the territory of Menghuzhai."

Xiao Yidao said: "My name is Xiao Yidao, and I am the leader of Baiyun Village. We want to go down the mountain and pass through your village's territory. I understand the rules."

As he spoke, he took out a purse from his waist and threw it at the other person.

The man thought about it and said: "I tell you, don't play tricks, otherwise you will die."

"dare not"

"Follow us"

Soon, Xiao Yidao and his group followed the three people, left the territory of Menghu Village, and entered the territory of the next village.

If you want to go down the mountain as quickly as possible, you have to pass through at least seven villages, which means paying tolls seven times.

Xiao Yidao was unsure of Li Xuan, so for safety, he took a detour of dozens of miles along the mountain road and paid tolls three times before he arrived at the foot of the mountain safely.

It takes two days to go back and forth.

At night, Li Xuan lay on the bed with his hands behind his head.

He no longer had any hope of escaping, and it was safest for him to stay here.

At least the people here were really nice to him, especially Xiao Yidao, which made Li Xuan feel a little strange, as if they were partial to him and trusted him extra.

Logically speaking, as a father, he should have killed him with a palm for peeking at Xiao Xuan's body.

But the other party didn't, and seemed to be hinting at clues on how to survive.

He couldn't figure out why?

After thinking about it for a while, I stopped thinking about it.

The most important thing right now is to survive, then live freely, and finally take control of the village and become the boss.

Among a group of people who only know how to use brute force, people with brains become particularly important.

But this goal is big and far-reaching.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Xuan pondered for an entire afternoon and finally came up with a plan to highlight his importance.

He named this plan the Mountain Walking Plan.
