"We've reached the shore! We've reached the shore!"
The captain shouted excitedly, and the others finally walked out of despair.
Out of the thirty ships that had left the port from Longkou, they were the only one left. They didn't know where they had been taken by the waves. How was this barging into the east of the country? It was clearly barging into hell!
Everyone got off the boat. There was a farmer's house not far away. After eating something there, the group of people dispersed and went their own ways.
Xia Yuanzhang asked around and found out that this was Zhuanghe, which was more than 300 miles away from Dalianli. However, he had money, so he called Ye Xu and his family, hired a carriage, and set off in the direction of Dalianli.
Zhu Weishi's package was thrown away when they boarded the ship, but Ye Xu had received a lot of money from signing in. He went to the market in Zhuanghe and bought a thick fur coat for each of them. As for his fur coat, it was not the time to take it out yet.
The weather here was no longer the same as in Qilu. It was frighteningly cold in winter, especially in the carriage. The cold wind mixed with snow foam was like a knife.
The people here called this kind of weather a smoky cannon.
It wasn't even the 39th day yet. When it was the 39th day, there would be a lot of smoke. They had to cover their eyes tightly when they went out. If there were any other places that were exposed, they would be blown by the wind until they bled.
In the future, it was much better because of global warming. However, now, it was really bone-piercing cold wind. Ordinary people could not withstand it.
Ye Xu was wearing a large leather coat and sitting in the carriage, hugging Xian 'er tightly.
It had been hard on his wife these past few days. She had followed him all the way and had not enjoyed any good fortune in the days she had married him.
Xian 'er sat in Ye Xu's arms, squinting her eyes in the cold wind. She curiously looked at the snowy Guandong. She was wearing a big leather coat, and her hands were folded in front of her chest and tucked in her sleeves. She looked like a silly girl from the countryside.
This little wife didn't feel bitter at all. As long as she followed Ye Xu, she would dare to go to hell, let alone the east of the country.
The carriage drove all the way to a place called the Great Black Mountain. The coachman pulled the horse back with a sigh. Everyone was feeling smug from the cold and thought that they had arrived. When they looked up, they saw a bald man lying against a big tree at the entrance of the dark mountain forest. He had a dog-skin hat on his hand.
"Sigh, this world is so difficult.”
Zhu Weishi sighed, everyone knew that they had encountered tribulation dao again.
Unlike the bandits in Ludi, the bandits in the east of the country were all called Beards. They usually had their own mountains. When they went down the mountain to smash the kiln, it was a huge crowd. There were at least a few dozen people and at most a few hundred people.
There were many deep mountains and forests in the east of the country, and most of them were dangerous. It was easy for people who did not know the way to change directions when they entered the mountains, so these beards were very popular on the mountains. No matter how many times the Qing soldiers and the Russians tried to suppress them, they could not.
These beards had their own way of speaking. It was called the Lip Code in the industry, and most people called it slang.
Shopkeeper Xia opened a warehouse in Lu Shun, and he usually did most of the purchasing himself. Although he wasn't the one who did the work, he could still roughly see everything.
Shopkeeper Xia alighted from the carriage and walked to the bearded man. He cupped his fists over his left shoulder and said,"Boss, I've touched it! I'm from Likou (this area), Lima (colleague)!”
Ye Xu heard it clearly. He had gained Slang Proficiency a few days ago, so he knew what Shopkeeper Xia meant. He was trying to establish a relationship with the Beard. He said that he had feelings for the Beard and that they were on the same side in Da Lian's territory.
The bearded man glanced at Shopkeeper Xia from head to toe. Although he was travel-worn, he could vaguely tell that Shopkeeper Xia was noble and did not look like a bearded man. He grinned and said,
"Tsk, here comes a star (fake). You're Kong Zi (outsider), right? Which mountain? I think you look like a pointy businessman. Your lips are half-open. Aren't you afraid that I'll hit your walnut (crack your head)?”
Shopkeeper Xia blinked his eyes, not understanding what the bearded man was talking about.
In the past, he used to lead the horse gang to follow Master Stomp around. It was Master Stomp who dealt with the beard. This was his ability to eat, so naturally, he would not teach him openly. However, Shopkeeper Xia had heard about it himself.
But now, he couldn't even understand what the bearded man was saying. He only knew that the bearded man's last sentence was about breaking his head.
Shopkeeper Xia was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He rolled his eyes and remembered that Master Stomp had told him before that if he met Beard alone outside, he might be able to save his life by cutting him open.
So he thought hard and finally remembered. He continued to hold his fists and said,
"Northwest Xuantian is a flower, the world is a family. Brother Greenwood, don't let your leaves run away. If you lose the good loyalty of Greenwood, Boss, please help me, Luo Quan is careless.”
Ye Xu understood, but the others were stunned.
Shopkeeper Xia's words were the same as when an ordinary person encountered a beard.
It basically meant that all the Beards in the world are family, and we are all on the same side. Although I'm not Beard, I have Beard to take care of me. Don't do anything to me, I'll lose the loyalty of a hero.
Generally speaking, people who would say this were people who had some dealings with Beard. If they met some particular Beard, it would not be too difficult.
"Damn it (we don't know each other)! Brother is thirsty (lacking money), so it's not hard for you to do something here.”
The bearded man said and patted his waist.
Shopkeeper Xia didn't know much about this, but he understood when he saw Beard's actions. He walked forward, took out ten yuan, and put it into Beard's dog-skin hat.
