After Suini gave the greeting, he looked at the horses. Suini seemed to have a special liking for horses. He looked at the horse's teeth and hooves and touched them. He didn't seem too satisfied. Susu looked at him, with a tall figure. , full of energy, Su Su was a little curious about another person who appeared out of nowhere.

Noticing that Su Su was staring at him, Suini asked uncomfortably:"Miss Su Su, do you have anything to tell me?"

Su Su asked directly without hiding anything:"Have Master Suini and Daozhi known each other for a long time? ?"

"it's been a while."Suini seemed very cautious.

"What did he do before?"Su Su wanted to know about Daozhi's past.

Suini looked directly at Su Su and replied,"You are brothers and sisters. You should ask him directly. It would be more appropriate for him to tell you in person. Su

Su didn't give up. After looking at it for a while, she asked again:"Have you been to Luoba country before?""

"Been there."After saying this, Suini walked aside. This Suini was unsmiling, cautious, calm and restrained. He was respectful to Susu, but felt that it was not easy to trust others in his heart. Susu was deeply impressed. Too many things have happened recently, Susu I don't have the time to ask further questions.

After traveling for several days, we arrived at the place where the river meets the sea. The water here is relatively calm, and then we shipped it to Luoba Country. Different from the pastoral style of Dongfu Country, Luoba Country has more mountains and forests, but less gentleness. In comparison, the folk customs feel stronger, and the people are naturally more indifferent and less diligent than the Dongfu people...

Suini had a certain understanding of the Luoba country. He had been active in the Luoba country over the years. He had a friend who was doing business in the Luoba country. He had never disturbed him before. This time, Suini went to see him first.

When they were children, they played together and learned martial arts. Seeing old friends in a foreign land was like receiving dew from a long drought. Over the years, Suini has still maintained a strong body, while his friend's body has long been out of shape and has a big belly. Suini is full of energy, but his friend looks like an old man in his late teens and has become senile. A friend came from afar. The friend was particularly enthusiastic and asked his wife to prepare good wine and delicious food.

"Brother Suini, last time I saw you, you were majestic and heroic. This time, the majesty is gone, but your majesty is still there, but your heroic posture is a little less, but your valor has not diminished."My friend said after having a drink.

The two of them talked from their hometown to the Luoba Kingdom and the Xilu Kingdom and then to the Dongfu Kingdom. Finally, Suini said with a serious expression:"Yingping, I need something."

"what?"Yingping asked seriously.

"Boar fork and boar skin."

In the mountains and forests of the Luoba Kingdom, there are many species, ranging from jackals, tigers and leopards to pheasants and hares. Among them, the wild boar is the toughest. Its skin is so hard that ordinary iron tools cannot penetrate it. Gradually, the people of the Luoba Kingdom refined an incomparable species. Hard iron, specially used for hunting wild boars, so these two things are specialties of the Luoba Kingdom, Yingping immediately understood. In the Blue Lake Treaty, these two items are prohibited items, and external sales must be obtained from the Xilu Kingdom. There are also restrictions on internal sales, especially for wild boar forks.

Yingping stared at Suini and asked in a low voice:"Isn't something going to happen?

Yingping thought of his dreams when they were studying together, and his ambitions when they practiced martial arts together. These years, he had long forgotten them. His business was getting better and better, his body was getting fatter, his dreams were gradually forgotten, and his ambitions were becoming less and less. It is important, but Suini has always maintained himself. He once thought that he had abandoned him, but now he realized that he was wrong. He has not changed. He came to find him, and he thought that he should not have changed either.

Suini nodded, and Yingping pondered for a while, then gestured to his fat body:"I'm not as good as I used to be. Unlike you, my body can no longer twist and twist."

Yingping has a wife. Having a son and living a stable and prosperous life in the Luoba Kingdom, Suini naturally understood the meaning of his friend's words.

"It's also good to live a stable life." Suini understood him and knew that comfort was hard-won. She came as she was asked without forcing it.

At this time, the cry of the child in the inner room came. After a while, her wife came out holding the child.

"Brothers and sisters, I’m sorry to disturb you. Seeing this, Suini had to get up and leave.

After Suini left, his wife returned to the inner room with the child in her arms. Yingping was depressed and drank alone. After putting the child to sleep, the wife came out of the inner room, put on her wedding clothes, and put on her clothes. The husband’s clothes were neatly put aside and he was given a big gift.

"Madam, what are you doing?"Yingping immediately stood up and helped his wife

"Husband, please sit down and listen to your wife finish what she has to say. Husband, we have been married for many years, and this outfit is what we wore when we got married. It is not gorgeous, but it is my favorite outfit. Now that I am wearing it, husband, can you still wear it?"The wife did not get up, and Yingping did not sit down again. Thinking of the difficulties at the beginning, his wife did not even have decent clothes when she married him. Looking at the shabby clothes, he thought that his wife had thrown them away long ago. Yingping sighed:

"This...hey!"

"My husband loves me very much, and he has always been the same even after I became rich and powerful. I have been blessed throughout my life and am grateful for my husband's love all the time. You and I are originally from Dongfu country, and we had no choice but to live here. Do you still remember that when we were doing small business, we were ostracized by our peers, and were often squeezed and made difficult by local bullies, driving us around. Every time we came back, we were covered with injuries. At that time, we Life is difficult, but her husband has high morale. I still remember what you said once, when you were being chased by a bully because you couldn't get any silver coins, you met a pair of Xilu soldiers, one of whom was Suini. They stopped the bully, and not long after, the bully sent back the silver coins that he had exploited before and apologized. Apologize. From now on, no one in my colleagues will find anything against you. Instead, we will let you go in every possible way, and our business will start. Now we live a comfortable life, and my husband is diligent, but we cannot forget it."wife

"Madam, please get up. I understand what Madam means."Yingping helped his wife up, sat next to her, and looked at her. With her appearance, she could have married a better man, but she was willing to follow her downtrodden self.

"I heard what Suini said just now. He has never appeared since then. He came not for himself this time, but for Dongfu Country. After learning that you had a family, he did not force anything, not even He didn't even say a word of persuasion, which shows that he has noble moral character and respects you so much because he regards you as a true friend. The most important thing for people to know each other is to know each other, and the most important thing for people to know each other is to understand each other. You said that he was once majestic and heroic, and that he could give up these things. Such people are working for Dongfu Country, which shows that this is the right path, why should we give up. Men should do something vigorously and don't get lost in the comfort in front of them."

"But……"In order to improve his life, his wife suffered a lot along with him. Yingping did not want his wife to suffer any further injustice.

"Your concern is only about your children, so you can rest assured about your children."My wife understands Yingping's concerns very well.

"After all, the children are still young and I am worried about you."Yingping took his wife's hand

"Husband, a man should devote himself to serving his country. Children are my responsibility as a wife. If you reject him, I'm afraid you will be drinking like this every night in the future. When your children grow up and ask about your hometown, how will you talk about it?"

"Madam, what I'm trying to teach you is that I'm really ashamed. How could I be so good and virtuous enough to marry such a wife? Madam, don't worry."Yingping hugged his wife tightly

Suini went back and thought about it for a while, then came to a brothel and asked the old madam to find some girls. She picked here and there, and finally fell in love with a little girl. She was not pretty, and she was not as good at pleasing people as other girls. She even had some Shy

"Officials really know how to choose, and this girl just came here."The old bustard flattered

"I have a request to take out."Suini

"Oh, sir, this is not okay. Our rules here are that girls don’t go out. If you want to play, you can only play here. There is such an atmosphere here."The expression on the old bustard's face meant something.

Suini didn't say anything and just threw out some silver. When the old bustard saw that there was a lot of silver, his eyes widened and he didn't stop him anymore.

"Guan Ren, at first glance, is a big shot. In this case, this girl will be left to Guan Ren today. Guan Ren can play wherever he likes."The old bustard held up the silver with a smile.

Then Suini came to a hunting equipment shop.

"What does the guest want?"

"hunting weapon."Suini

"Our store has all kinds of hunting equipment, what kind do you want?"Store

"Recently, wild boars have been coming in and out of my house, destroying my fence and eating my cattle and sheep. What utensils does the store owner think I should use?"Sui Ni.

The store owner became alert. The regulations of the Luoba Kingdom were strict, and identity checks were required to sell wild boar forks. The store owner suddenly grabbed Suini's hand and asked with a strange expression:"The guest officer doesn't look like a farmer, so why? Not quite a hunter, what do you do for a living?"

"Farming in the spring and autumn, hunting in the winter and summer, accompanied by the breeze and the setting sun, living alone in the secluded forest without caring about the world."Suini

"Is the guest officer not a local?"The shopkeeper took a closer look at his attire.

"He lives in the mountains and is a hunter in the mountains." Suini said firmly.

Wild boar forks are usually sold only to local acquaintances, and the store is suspicious of this unfamiliar face.

"Father, what is that red thing there?"A little girl came running from the opposite side. She was dressed simply and asked, pointing to the boxes of stuff on the other side of the street.

Suini looked embarrassed as if she didn't know what they were. The shopkeeper then said,"There's rouge in there."

"rouge? Rouge turned out to be like this."Little girl

"The store owner laughed. The little girl has just grown up and has never been to the market." Suini.

The store owner relaxed his vigilance and asked,"How much do you want?"

"How much can it sell?"Suini

"Limit 5 pairs per person."Store

"It only takes 5 pairs. It’s not easy to come here. Suini looked at the wild boar trap again:"How much can this sell for?""

"10 pieces available."Store

"I need 5 pieces, a roll of hemp rope and a cloth bag."Suini

"Father, would you like to buy some rouge too?"The little girl coquettishly

"Mountain people should read more and practice calligraphy in their free time. Why buy that?"Suini

"It’s time for women to buy some as they get older."The shopkeeper persuaded them casually.

Suini bought some rouge. The shopkeeper noticed that the rouge shop sold them cheap rouge at a high price. He smiled and shook his head and said:"You are a country bumpkin, you have a miserable life."

After finishing the work, they came to a secluded place. Suini took out some money and gave it to the little girl:"I'm afraid you won't get a share of the money you gave them. You keep the money yourself. Don't leave anything after you go back from what happened today. Say, to avoid trouble, I will come back to you in the future.

When the little girl saw that Suini had given her a lot of money, she knelt down and said,"You are a kind person. Please redeem me. I will serve you as a cow and a horse from now on.""

"You are still young, how could you end up in that kind of place?"

"My parents owed money to someone and were unable to repay the money. They beat them to death. I went to sue the officials because I was not from Luoba country."The little girl cried

"Where are you from?"

"Dongfu people"

"Where is Dongfu Country?"
