Peerless Young Master
Chapter 49: Visitors from Hanlan Village
Heilong Mountain, Hanlan Village.
Gao Quan sat on the armchair, his face showing anxiety. His eyes flickered in the dimly lit room, sometimes staring at the ground, sometimes glancing around, as restless as a trapped animal.
A month and a half has passed, and there is only one and a half months left before Heilongshan is unsealed.
In his plan to get rich, this should be the time for him to earn the treasures from the dozen or so village chiefs nearby. He wants to take all the gold, silver and jewelry in these people's hands and become the richest person.
However, the reality is extremely cruel.
Except for the first time when he earned dozens of taels of silver for Tiequan by selling grain, he never sold a grain of grain again.
The reason is very simple, that is, the people of Baiyun Village no longer come down the mountain.
This made his greedy heart become extremely restless. If he delayed any further, his plan to make a fortune would really come to nothing.
Gao Quan was unwilling to give up, unable to take over the cooked duck that flew away from his mouth.
He sent people to guard the village every day, just to see if anyone from Baiyun Village would show up, but he was disappointed again and again.
Faced with a mountain of gold, no one can suppress the desire in their heart.
Since the people from Baiyun Village didn't come, he took matters into his own hands and sent people down the mountain to sell food.
He didn't believe that the people from Baiyun Village could return successfully several times, but his people couldn't.
Once he succeeds, he will no longer need Baiyun Village.
Then next time, if Baiyun Village wants to pass through his territory, it won’t be so easy.
At this moment, a subordinate came over and said, "Boss, the brother we sent out is dead."
Gao Quan jumped up and said, "Dead, how could he die again?"
He sent three waves of brothers down the mountain, but they were all killed.
"Boss, it's been a month and a half. The food in those small villages outlying areas has probably been eaten up. It's very chaotic outside now, with people fighting each other for food everywhere." The subordinate looked worried.
Gao Quan frowned. He knew that the area outside Black Dragon Mountain was a mess. It was like this every year at this time.
But his men were killed one after another, which announced the failure of his plan to go down the mountain and would definitely affect his plan to make a fortune.
"I wish I hadn't handed that person over."
Gao Quan felt a little regretful. If he had controlled the desert, the people in Baiyun Village would never dare to disobey him and would just go down the mountain to get food, wine, and meat.
The subordinates suggested: "Boss, Baiyun Village is just a small village with only about ten people. Why don't we take the brothers in the village and attack them and capture them all. We don't believe that they will not obey."
Gao Quan narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "That wild wolf was even stronger than me, and he died at the hands of Baiyun Village. If we don't know their strengths and attack them rashly, we will be the ones who suffer.
Tomorrow you will take half of your people and fifty taels of silver and follow me to meet Baiyun Village."
…………
Baiyun Village.
Xiao Xuan stood in front of a small mirror placed on the dressing table, just enough to see her upper body.
She lifted her clothes, revealing her fair skin. The plump and delicate semicircle was vaguely visible. A scab on a fingernail caught the eye, which seemed out of place with the snow-white skin.
Xiao Xuan gently pressed the wound with her fingers and could still feel a slight pain. After changing the medicine, she put on her clothes.
She came to the bed and picked up a book from under the pillow. It was the love story she had read before, "Three Lives Three Worlds, Only You Will Not Marry";
Looking at the story again, a warm current seemed to flow through her body, making her feel tingling.
She put down the book, touched her cheek, which seemed a little hot, and muttered: "Why do women blush and feel their hearts fluttering when men kiss them?"
As a child who grew up in the mountains and was the only girl around, Xiao Xuan had no idea about the relationship between men and women.
Sometimes, she would kiss herself, but there was no emotion at all, nothing like what was written in the book.
This made her very confused.
After a while, she seemed to think of something, put the book under her pillow, hid it, left the room, closed the door and walked outside.
"dong dong"
"Come in"
When Li Xuan heard the knock on the door, he got up from the ground and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel.
What he didn't expect was that the person who came was not Da Mo, but Xiao Xuan.
"Why are you here? Are you healed? It's windy outside, come in quickly." Li Xuan reminded him not to go out easily when he was weak.
"I've been staying in my room and feeling a bit bored, so I just came out for a walk and some fresh air, and I don't know how I ended up here."
As Xiao Xuan spoke, she glanced at Li Xuan out of the corner of her eye and saw that he was sweating profusely.
"Why are you sweating so much?"
"I was a little weak before, so I asked Brother Damo for a set of boxing techniques to strengthen my body. You know what, after practicing for a while, I feel much stronger than before."
"Uncle Damo practices big openings and closings, which is a rough approach. It's not suitable for a scholar like you. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
At the end of her words, a hint of shyness appeared in Xiao Xuan's eyes.
“This set of punches is enough for me to practice. You are not fully recovered yet, so you should take good rest.
This mountain is different from the foot of the mountain. You must not leave any sequelae. I am still waiting for you to protect me so that I can dominate Black Dragon Mountain." Li Xuan made a joke.
"Yeah." Xiao Xuan nodded with a smile, and for some reason, she felt a warmth in her heart.
"Brother Xuan, you are here too"
Just then, Da Mo walked in.
"Brother Damo, what's wrong?" Li Xuan asked curiously.
"Boss Xiao asked you to go over, saying that someone is coming from Hanlan Village." Da Mo added, "Gao Quan is here."
Gao Quan is here.
Li Xuan and Xiao Xuan looked at each other, both curious about what the other wanted to do by coming all the way here.
Soon, the two left the room and came to the bungalow.
"Brother Wushuang, long time no see; and Brother Xiao," Gao Quan greeted the two of them warmly when he saw them.
"How come Chief Gao has time to come to Baiyun Village?" The two of them walked over, and the four of them just happened to sit in one seat each.
“Didn’t I sell you some food last time? I was planning to have my men give it to you when you left the mountain.
"But I've been waiting for a long time and haven't seen you. I'm afraid something bad might happen, so I came here in person to give you the silver," Gao Quan said.
"Thank you, Chief Gao. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to hike in the mountains," Li Xuan evaded the question.
“On my way here, I saw a lot of corpses. Those people had gone crazy to survive and would do anything to survive. The surrounding area was almost in chaos.
"You are not affected, right? If you have any trouble, tell me and I will send some people here to help you resist the enemies," Gao Quan said proudly.
"Thank you for your concern, Chief Gao. Our land is barren and has few resources. Naturally, those bandits would look down on us. But our life is peaceful here," Xiao Yidao said lightly.
"That's good. If there is, Village Chief Xiao, please don't be polite to me. After all, we are good friends." Gao Quan narrowed his eyes, a little undecided.
He didn't know whether Xiao Yidao's indifference was real or fake, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Is to continue to go round and round;
Or choose tough measures.
