Chapter 400: Cleared
Yu Zhi didn't expect that she would see the female mountain dweller that day again so soon. Different from the embarrassment last time, this time she... how should I put it, she was wearing the most gorgeous clothes, her arms and neck were covered with all kinds of jewelry, she was beautiful She looked like a queen, but her eyes were piercing, and she stabbed a knife into the chest of a man who was said to be her husband.
Blood splattered her face and didn't care, Yu Zhi saw that her hands were steady and didn't tremble.
What a ruthless woman this is! Kill your own husband with your own hands!
I heard that the two have been married for more than ten years and have a son. The reason why the husband and wife turned against each other and drew their swords at each other was because the man's father-in-law was the leader of the mountain people. After his death, the position of leader was not passed on to his son-in-law, but to his daughter.
This makes the man very dissatisfied, but the wife is capable, and has been very prestigious in the clan since her father was alive, and the clan has a lot of support for her. Even if the man was dissatisfied, he didn't show it.
Later, the man wins over some mountain people, intending to get rid of his wife and become the leader himself. The last time a woman met a wild boar was a man's conspiracy. Unexpectedly, his wife was fine, but his son was seriously injured.
The man failed to make a plan and then made another plan. No, the woman noticed it and arrested the man and their accomplices.
How did Yu Zhi know so clearly? Cough, cough, didn't she happen to catch up and help the female mountain people a little? Taking advantage of his wife's lack of defense, the man wanted to kill her, but Yu Zhi, who was touched here indiscriminately, knocked the dagger away. The man wanted to escape, but it was Yu Zhi who caught him back.
Oh, by the way, the woman's name is Shan Duo. The mountain people do not have a surname. They live on the mountain, so they simply use "mountain" as the first character of their name, and they can be named for birds, trees, fish and insects.
Shan Duo, the flower of the flower, means the most beautiful flower on the mountain.
It is understandable that a man kills his wife first, and Shan Duo fights back. What Yu Zhi admires is Shan Duo's calmness and courage, and she is worthy of being a female leader.
Yu Zhi tried to think about it for himself, if one day Wen Jiuxiao betrayed her, even if she hated her to death, she might not be able to kill her husband like Shan Duo.
Ah, bah, bah, bah, she is really bored to think so.
How could Wen Jiuxiao betray her? Most likely not.
At the beginning, even if Yu Zhi helped Shan Duo, Shan Duo and the clansmen were still wary of her. Later, Yu Zhi directly showed her hand, and the vine flew out of her hand, hitting a tree three feet away, and in an instant, the big tree with the mouth of a bowl crashed to the ground. Afraid of scaring people, Yu Zhi deliberately chose a tree that was not too thick.
"If I really want to do something, do you think you can escape?"
Immediately suppressed the mountain people, Shan Duo is also a knowledgeable person, knowing that they really don't want to plot anything against them, or else they can do whatever they want with this force?
She said a few words to the tribe, so Yu Zhi became a distinguished guest of the mountain people. Even though there were still mountain people who looked at Yu Zhi with unfriendly eyes, they dared not do anything because of the leader's order.
Shan Duo used her limited Chinese to communicate with Yu Zhi, and Yu Zhi could understand it by guessing. Just like that, the two actually started a deal.
Mountain people exchange hemostatic powder and salt with herbs, mountain fungi, prey, animal skins and leftover branches.
Yu Zhi's price is naturally the most fair, especially for salt. When Shan Duo learned that the price of salt offered by Yu Zhi was much lower than what they used to buy when they went down the mountain, they couldn't believe it was true, "Zhi, is it true? Are you sure that three such big animal skins can be exchanged for a pot of salt?" ?”
Several elders were also staring at Yu Zhi, you know, in the past they had to pay ten animal skins, sometimes twelve or three animal skins, for a jar of salt. When did salt get so cheap?
Yu Zhi smiled slightly, "Of course it's true! You don't know yet, Shanyun County has a new county magistrate, and he has a way to get salt. He treats the people very well. Now the people at the foot of the mountain eat half the salt than before. .”
The mountain people don’t believe it. Are there any officials who are good to the people? The Han people are all cunning, how can the officials of the Han people be good? Even if they are good officials, it has nothing to do with the mountain people. It is still so expensive for them to exchange salt from the mountain.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Yu Zhi said, "Well, let's change another batch first. I'll bring salt up the mountain in two days, don't worry, I'll come alone, and we'll exchange it at the price we agreed on, how about it?"
Although Shan Duo was still worried, she couldn't help but be moved. That's salt! The most lacking thing on the mountain is salt!
"Okay!" Shan Duo finally gritted his teeth and made a decision. Wealth and wealth are in danger, and she will arrange more people at that time.
With that being said, Yu Zhi went down the mountain. Of course, there was a life-saving grace, and Shan Duo gave Yu Zhi many gifts, such as herbs, mushrooms, animal skins, etc., and sent them down the mountain very thoughtfully.
Oh, by the way, Shan Duo's husband was executed, but Shan Duo did not kill the mountain people who followed him, but expelled them, and did not allow them to stay in the tribe.
There are many wild animals in the mountains. The mountain people live together and go hunting together. Even if they are in danger, there are people to help. One or two people are alone and weak. If they encounter tigers or wild boars, they will really have no way out.
Even if Shan Duo doesn't kill them, the expelled mountain people will definitely have a very difficult life.
Yu Zhi returned to the county government office with a gift, and wanted to keep it quiet, but just as she turned to the back door, she was blocked by the breeze, "Young Madam, please take pity on the poor little one!"
Yu Zhi looked innocent, "It's Qingfeng, I was taken aback. Oh, I just bought something from the street, since you are here, help me take it in."
Throwing the things to Qingfeng, Yu Zhi went in happily.
Qingfeng looked at the things in his hands, with a mournful face. Herbs and mushrooms are nothing more than two half-dead hares with fresh wounds.
This is not purchased from the street, it is clearly made from the mountains.
Third Master, come back quickly! The young one can't keep up and can't manage the young lady, the young one is under a lot of pressure, can't sleep at night, and her hair falls out in handfuls.
If you don’t come back, the little one will probably be bald. You don’t mind having a bald butler, do you?
As soon as Yu Zhi entered the yard, the little boy stood up from the swing, and complained, "Mom, I figured it out today. We are a plastic mother-child relationship. You didn't take me with you when you went out to play. You didn't promise last time, where did you go?" Are you taking me with you?"
Yu Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Son, you are taking this seriously. It's not that my mother won't take you with me, but my mother is just going to explore the way. When I find out the way, my mother will naturally take you with me. Last time, my mother Mother blindly took you on a trip, entered a black shop, and when you came back, your father trained me for a long time and showed me the face for a long time, have you forgotten?"
The boy remembered that he followed his mother to the bandit den last time, and his father was really upset. Some believed his mother's words, "Then have you found out?"
Yu Zhi smiled, "I found out, the day after tomorrow I will go to the mountain to exchange things with the mountain people, I can take you with me, don't forget to ask your master for leave in advance."
The little boy nodded heavily, and smiled happily, "Don't worry, mother, I won't forget. Mother is so kind!" He ran over and hugged Yu Zhi, jumping and jumping.
Yu Zhi gave a steady "Yeah" and passed the test, perfect!
