Chapter 57 Elders give words
Su Ting quickly caught the golden melon seeds and felt the heavy feeling in her palm, knowing that the gold was real.
"This... is a bit too much. There are many foxes on the mountain, so it's not worth much!"
Su Ting didn't dare to accept them all, so she explained sheepishly while picking through the golden melon seeds, leaving the smallest one, and gave the rest to Yang Suhua.
She also saw that Yang Suhua was soft-tempered and didn't know how to refuse.
Facing the golden melon seeds, Yang Suhua could only accept them first, and then turned to look at Lin Zhongtian at a loss.
Lin Zhongtian glanced at her and said calmly: "Don't look at me. If she is willing to give it to you, just take it."
"oh."
Yang Suhua nodded obediently, accepted the golden melon seeds, and then squatted excitedly in front of the bamboo cage with Zhang Yan, carefully interacting with the three little foxes in the cage.
Seeing that the three little foxes seemed to be a little depressed, Zhang Yan couldn't bear it and looked up at Su Ting.
"Sister Su, can you let them out?"
"Here... let's lock him up for a few days first. The foxes in the mountains are vicious. It would be bad if they hurt you."
"Are they fierce? I think they are very well-behaved. Just look at them, they lie there and don't even move..."
As Yang Suhua spoke, he carefully put his fingers into the bamboo cage and wanted to touch the head of the little fox on the left.
At this moment, the little fox, who originally seemed languid, suddenly showed his fierce look. He opened his mouth, revealing four sharp little canine teeth, and pretended to bite her finger.
"ah!"
Yang Suhua was startled and sat back on the ground, her face pale.
When the surrounding escorts and bandits saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing.
Yang Suhua's face turned red, she squatted down embarrassedly, patted the dust on her skirt, and looked at Lin Zhongtian pitifully.
Lin Zhongtian sighed, stood up, walked over, opened the bamboo cage, pinched the back of the little fox's neck and lifted it out.
I don't know why, but the little fox, who was so fierce just now, is as well-behaved as an unweaned kitten in Lin Zhongtian's hands.
Lin Zhongtian stroked the little fox's head a few times. When he saw it narrowing its eyes with a look of enjoyment, he nodded and directly stuffed the little fox into Yang Suhua's arms. Then he followed the same pattern and took out the remaining two little foxes one by one. tame.
Yang Suhua was a little timid at first, but soon she discovered that the little fox in her arms had become extremely well-behaved.
No matter how she rubbed its fur with her hands, the little fox never resisted.
Even when touching his head, the little fox would always push her hand away with his head, stick his head out of her arms, and look longingly at Lin Zhongtian's back in front of him.
Yang Suhua was so happy with the fox that he didn't notice these details.
But Pan Yunpeng was keenly aware of this and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Brother Fu is very capable. This is the first time that I have seen such beast-taming skills in all these years!"
"It's just a small road, not worth mentioning."
Lin Zhongtian stood up with a smile and handed a small fox to Zhang Yan, who had been waiting for a long time.
The remaining lucky one was left by his side, with nothing to do in the carriage to pass the time.
After the transaction was completed, the convoy was about to set off. According to the agreement, Shanshanhu sent people to escort them all the way in the mountains and forests on both sides, and by the way, he helped the escort team drive away some threatening beasts.
In order to prove that the copycat poses no threat to the escort team, Su Ting took a child and followed the escort team.
Although the child is young, he behaves in a very orderly manner and treats others with courtesy.
Lin Zhongtian asked a few questions casually and learned that he was the nephew of Shanshanhu and the only blood relative of the other party. He was with the escort team as a hostage to appease the Feng escort agency.
This kind of meticulous style is naturally not the style of Shanshanhu. It should be Su Ting's handiwork.
After all, the last time he passed by this place, Shanshanhu had even invited him, the chief escort, to go up to the mountain to have a drink. At first glance, he looked like a rough guy who didn't understand the world and acted recklessly.
The escort team stepped up their march for a day and a night, and finally walked out of the mountain forest.
The men sent by Shaking Mountain Tiger also stopped.
Only Su Ting took Shanshanhu's nephew out of the forest and stood at the mountain crossing to watch the escort team leave.
The backs of the escort team disappeared from sight, and the forest behind Su Ting was already full of people.
A tall and thin man came to Su Ting with a knife on his shoulder. He bowed his hands respectfully and said in a low voice: "Miss, it's time to go back. It's been a day and a night. If you don't go back, I will be worried."
"..."
Su Ting glanced at him and said calmly: "Why, is he still afraid that I will follow Shunfeng Escort Agency?"
The tall and lanky man stiffened and said humbly, "You know that's not what I meant. He just misses you..."
Su Ting snorted softly, touched the head of the young man next to her and said softly: "Let him relax. Since he has avenged my revenge, I, Su Ting, will be his person in life and his ghost in death, forever and ever. No regrets."
The tall and lanky man sneered: "Miss, you should tell your uncle yourself about this."
Su Ting shook her head: "No, Uncle Ma, please arrange for someone to pass this message to him for me."
The tall and lanky man was slightly startled: "Aren't you going back now?"
Su Ting turned her head, looked at the direction where the escort team was leaving and said softly: "If you don't want to go back, I have to go to the county town. After you arrange the people, bring a few good guys from the village with me."
The tall and thin man frowned and said, "But all the good guys in the village are on the government's wanted list."
Su Ting said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Mr. Pan sold me a carriage, Sister Yang gave me some clothes, and with the few pieces of jewelry in the dowry, it's not a problem to pretend to be a rich lady who goes out." —Uncle Ma, during these days on the mountain, you won’t forget how you behaved at home, right?”
The tall and lanky man laughed when he heard this, straightened his chest and said, "Of course not!"
Su Ting nodded, and when she saw the tall and thin man taking the order and leaving, she immediately took out a beautifully carved wooden sign from her arms.
Pan Yunpeng personally handed this to her before the escort left, saying that it might be useful in the future.
Looking at the sickle, hammer and sword carved on the wooden sign, Su Ting thought thoughtfully, and then carefully stuffed the wooden sign into her arms.
She had a hunch that this wooden sign would be the biggest opportunity for her and her bandit husband in the next ten years.
…
…
"Are you really planning to bring them into the organization?"
"Haha, although the Mountain-shaking Tiger can't catch my eye, Su Ting is not a simple woman. With her help, the village will prosper sooner or later. Instead of waiting for them to become powerful before recruiting them, it is better to invest now. After all, Brother Zhao once said, we just want to make more friends and fewer enemies."
"..." The corner of Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched, and his head was covered with black lines, "Did he say this?"
Pan Yunpeng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Probably not. When Brother Zhao first said this, there was a look of longing on his face. It must be a gift from the deceased elder."
"……now it's right!"
Lin Zhongtian raised the corners of his mouth, as if he remembered something, and looked at the blue sky outside the window in a daze.
Pan Yunpeng looked at Lin Zhongtian's face thoughtfully.
This Brother Fu is the mysterious figure that has intrigued the members of the Alliance the most in recent days.
Especially his origin, as well as the inexplicable trust and close relationship between him and Zhao Lihe, made them, the subordinates who had been with Zhao Lihe early in the morning, puzzled.
Since the establishment of the Tongmenghui, many people have known the general whereabouts of Zhao Lihe.
When did he become sworn brothers with this mysterious Brother Fu?
Pan Yunpeng was also curious before, but now, he feels that he may have grasped some clues.
The two brothers most likely had the same respected elder.
And that very reasonable saying was what the elder said.
Pan Yunpeng really wanted to ask for news about the elder, but thinking that the other person might have passed away, he suppressed his curiosity and did not speak.
Lin Zhongtian caught a glimpse of the gossipy look on his face, and was amused in his heart. No matter how much he guessed, he would never have guessed that the respected elder did not die in the past, but was separated in the future...
