Peerless Young Master

came back!

Upon learning that Xiao Xuan and Da Mo had returned safely, Li Xuan's heart finally settled down. He had not expected that this hike in the mountains would take three days.

When he walked out of the room, he saw Damo preparing to return to his room. Seeing that he was covered in blood, his face changed drastically. He hurried over and asked, "Brother Damo, what happened? Why are there so many bloodstains on your clothes?"

"On the way back, we encountered a group of bandits fighting. We wanted to hide, but they found us anyway. Brother Xuan and I killed them."

The desert is understated, but it can be seen that this must have been a fierce battle. After all, those bandits have gone crazy and kill people without blinking an eye.

"Are you not hurt?"

"How could these people be my and Brother Xuan's opponents? We can easily defeat them in just a few moves." Da Mo didn't take these people seriously at all, and then his expression became serious:

"When I came back this time, I saw a lot of corpses on the road. It's only 20 or 30 miles away from the village. If you go out with Brother Xuan, you must be careful. Every year when the mountain is closed due to heavy snow, it is the most dangerous time in Black Dragon Mountain."

"Okay, I will. Thank you for your hard work this time. Go back and rest." Li Xuan was also aware of the hidden danger in the distance, and would not leave the village easily unless necessary.

The heavy snow has just begun, and some villages still have some food to hold on. But if it really gets too late, these villages will be completely out of food and fall into fear of death.

That is the most dangerous and cruel time.

Corpses littered the fields and rivers of blood flowed.

Da Mo nodded and went back to his room.

Li Xuan went to Xiao Yidao's bungalow, but did not see Xiao Xuan. He thought she was too tired, so he went back to rest.

After a few simple words, he took the raw materials and left.

Now that the time of leaving the mountain has become uncertain, he needs to prepare the hot pot base as soon as possible so that he can leave the mountain at any time.

Fortunately, the temperature is around minus ten degrees Celsius now, which is like a natural refrigerator. Even if it is left for half a month, the hot pot base will not go bad.

…………

Heilong Mountain, Hanlan Village.

Gao Quan looked at the food in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but soon, his eyes became gloomy. This amount of food was not enough for him to eat for half a month, so how could he sell it to so many villages?

When he thought of the gold, silver and jewelry in those people's hands, and that he was the only one who could sell food, his heart became extremely hot.

If you gather all the wealth in these people's hands, you can play with Black Cliff for a long time.

"How are the people we sent out?"

Gao Quan said to his men around him.

"Boss, the way down the mountain is too difficult to walk on. Our people can't make it at all. Two of them even fell and were injured." The subordinates looked grim.

"waste"

Gao Quan cursed angrily.

After all, who doesn't want to find a way to go down the mountain safely, so he secretly searched many times.

But it is simply impossible to get down the mountain safely without alerting other bandits.

Even if he managed to get down the mountain by chance, how much food could he bring back by himself?

"How can I sell such a small amount of food to them? How could they pay such a high price for it?" Gao Quan was unhappy. Was he going to miss such a godsend opportunity?

The subordinate suggested: "Boss, although this amount of food is not much, we can accumulate it a few times, and it will add up to a lot. I think those villages still have some food, so we can still hold on for a month."

How could Gao Quan not understand this path, but he just didn't want to give up. A mountain of gold was right in front of him, but he had no tools and had to return empty-handed. How could he be willing to do that?

"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. Send someone to inform Black Wind Village that the food has arrived and ask them to bring enough silver."

Gao Quan could only choose to wait, but his eyes were constantly thinking, and it was obvious that he was planning an unknown plan in his mind.

An hour later, a burly figure walked in, wearing a cloak made of fox skin. It was the leader of Black Wind Village, Tie Quan.

"Brother, I heard that you sent someone here. Do you have any good news to tell me?" Tiequan laughed loudly and looked heroic.

Seeing Tie Quan, a smile appeared on Gao Quan's face: "Brother Tie, you came at the right time, sit down and warm up."

The two men sat around the fire, and Iron Fist took off his cloak and handed it to his men.

"Brother, didn't you say last time that you wanted some food? I immediately asked someone to get it for you. Although it was a bit troublesome and took some time, I still got some.

It’s just not much, please forgive me, brother.”

As he spoke, several of his men carried a bag of grain, three bottles of wine and ten pounds of meat.

Seeing the food, Tiequan's eyes lit up immediately, flashing with greed and joy;

He stood up suddenly, strode forward, picked up a bottle of wine with his rough hands, took a sip, closed his eyes, and his face was intoxicated: "It smells so fucking good, I've been wanting to taste this for a long time."

Putting down the wine, he patted Gao Quan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Gao, you have helped me a lot this time. The food was hard-earned, and I won't let you do it for nothing."

As he said this, he gave a look to the people around him.

The subordinate understood what he meant and took out a small box. When he opened it, he saw that it was shining with silver-white light and was full of silver, weighing more than a hundred taels.

"Brother, this is too much. According to what we said before, we don't need this much at all." Gao Quan's eyes twitched, and a faint light flashed in his eyes. He wished he could take it for himself.

“Brother, you and I both know the current situation in Black Dragon Mountain. Food is more valuable than gold.

I will always remember your kindness in helping me get these grains. The extra silver is a special thank you from me, so you must accept it."

"Brother, you..." Gao Quan wanted to refuse.

Tiequan suddenly became anxious, and his tone rose: "Brother, if you don't want it, you will be looking down on your brother."

Gao Quanben wanted to say something, but seeing that the other party had said so, he had no choice but to accept all the silver and told his men to prepare food:

"Since Brother Tie said so, I'll accept it. It just so happens that I caught a wild boar a few days ago, and today we two brothers are not drunk."

Tie Quan’s face was full of excitement: “Okay, I won’t go home until I’m drunk.”

Half an hour later, Gao Quan sent the slightly drunk Tie Quan away, looked at the box of silver at his feet, reached out and picked up one, held it in his hand and kept looking at it.

With a smile in the corner of his eyes, he said, "If it were at the foot of the mountain, only one of these would be enough to buy ten times as much as what I just saw. But in this Black Dragon Mountain, it would take a hundred of these to buy as much food as what I just saw.

They say the most feared thing about Black Dragon Mountain is a heavy snowfall, but in my opinion, this is not necessarily a bad thing.”

After looking at it for a while, Gao Quan put the silver back into the box and said to his men, "Take out half of it and put the rest away. When the people from Baiyun Village come, give it to them."
