Origin

Before the old crane landed, Wan Shanhong took the box, lifted it up and placed it on the back of the crane. He then leaned over and tilted his head and waved to Wu Zhongyuan, "Come on."

"What to do with the rice you lent us?" Wu Zhongyuan looked up.

"Haha, are you still afraid that I will default on your debt?" Wan Shanhong asked with a smile.

"I believe you won't, but we, the Bear Clan, are really at a loss to uncover the pot." Wu Zhongyuan told the truth. The animals he brought back from Minshan were all dead and would soon rot if not processed in time. , so he gave all the animal carcasses to Dabo and Dahong, and other Yuancheng did not receive any. However, the rice and grain aid provided by the Yi people were distributed to various large walled cities, and each walled city could only receive a few thousand kilograms.

Wan Shanhong looked up at the sky, estimated the time, and then said, "I will make arrangements immediately when I get back and deliver them all to you before sunrise tomorrow."

"Really?" Wu Zhongyuan was half convinced. That was two hundred thousand kilograms. It was already midnight, and it was less than an hour before tomorrow's sunrise. If you want to deliver so much rice to the bears, you can only use birds, even if each The birds travel back and forth many times, at least hundreds of them are needed.

Regarding Wu Zhongyuan's doubts, Wan Shanhong responded with a look of contempt, "I won't go there in person. After you receive the rice grains, you go to Yanyun Mountain to find me. Do you know where Yanyun Mountain is?"

"I roughly know." Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

"You Bear Clan has many walled cities. Where do you send the food?" Wan Shanhong asked.

"There will be bears in the capital," Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Okay, I'll leave first," Wan Shanhong gave Wu Zhongyuan an exaggerated wink, "Come early, sister has something good to show you."

Although he knew that Wan Shanhong was deliberately teasing him, Wu Zhongyuan couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Wan Shanhong seemed to like seeing his awkward expression. After achieving his goal, he burst out laughing and drove Lao He to the west.

It wasn't until Wan Shanhong and the old crane disappeared in the western sky that Wu Zhongyuan withdrew his sight. The incident happened so suddenly that he was in the mist and met by chance. With one move, he got two hundred thousand kilograms of corn, and Wan Shanhong also That's too generous. What on earth does this guy want to do?

At this time, he no longer had the intention to use his body skills. He directly summoned Qinglongjia and rushed to the Fox Clan with a lot of questions in his mind. If it were anyone else, he might be immersed in the joy of meeting a good person at this time, but Wu Zhongyuan Paying great attention to logic, Wan Shanhong suddenly appeared and generously gave him 200,000 kilograms of rice. Wan Shanhong's explanation for this was that he just wanted to make friends with him. This kind of investment and gain are not directly proportional, which is serious. Not logical.

The ancients said that when things go awry, there must be demons. There must be other reasons for such illogical things. If you think about it carefully, there are three possibilities. One is that this is a trap. Wan Shanhong was ordered by someone to trick him into going to Yanyun Mountain. But this possibility is really unlikely, because Wan Shanhong put the rice assistance before inviting him to Yanyun Mountain. If he was setting a trap, there would be no need to put such a big bait.

The second possibility is that Wan Shanhong is attracted to him. This possibility is the highest, accounting for at least 70%. What is money and food? That is everyone's hard work. No matter how rich Wan Shanhong is, he will not give away two hundred thousand catties for no reason, unless he is attracted to him. If he just wants to make friends, there is no need to give such a heavy gift.

The last possibility is that Wan Shanhong is playing a long-term game to catch the big fish, first making him owe a big favor, and then seeking repayment when the time is right, but this possibility is also very small. Wan Shanhong's previous appearance was very It was accidental, it was not a premeditated attempt to get close to him, to put it bluntly, it was just a chance encounter.

In addition to the above three possibilities, there is another possibility that is the least likely, that is, Wan Shanhong likes him without any other factors, but simply appreciates and likes him. He used to teach the gangsters with a stick like a lunatic. At the same time, he also taught Vase how to identify men. All of this was seen by Wan Shanhong. In the end, Wan Shanhong couldn't hold it back and walked out of the woods with a smile.

It can be seen that Wan Shanhong is also a very straightforward person. Hahaha is the word she uses most after appearing. Her smile is very unrestrained and exaggerated, and she has a sense of psychosis. Wan Shanhong may regard him as a similar person.

But this explanation seems unreasonable, because Wan Shanhong showed curiosity about him intentionally or unintentionally, and tempted him with half-truths and half- lies. As we all know, temptations between men and women all start with half-jokes. If you If I have feelings for you, it's not a joke. If I'm in love but you don't, it's just a joke, and it won't be embarrassing if you are rejected.

However, looking back carefully, Wan Shanhong's temptation to him might just be teasing him. The more doubtful and alert he became, the more interesting Wan Shanhong felt, and the more she wanted to tease him.

Still dozens of miles away from the Fox Clan, Wu Zhongyuan saw a large number of carriages and horses driving out from the Fox Clan. Each carriage was fully loaded. Although the cover was very tight, the outline of the sacks could still be seen. What is contained in it is undoubtedly the rice grain provided by the Fox Clan to assist the Bear Clan.

He was worried about an accident, so he sent Wu Rong and Wu Lanqing over. At this time, the two were standing on the tower with Thirteenth Lang. Wu Rong and Thirteenth Lang were talking about something, while Wu Lanqing watched the grain carriage coming from the city intently. Driving out, the woman was careful, probably counting her children.

Out of courtesy, Wu Zhongyuan did not fall directly onto the city tower, but outside the city wall. When the three of them saw him coming, they hurriedly came down from the city wall to welcome him.

After greeting each other, Thirteenth Lang pointed at the convoy and said to Wu Zhongyuan, "Brother, this is 70,000 kilograms of grain and rice. I know that it cannot solve the Bear Clan's current difficulties, but the Fox Clan is only so powerful, so don't be dissatisfied. few."

"Brother Wang, thank you very much." Wu Zhongyuan patted Thirteenth Lang's arm. Wan Shanhong had previously said that the Fox Clan's grain reserves were no more than 100,000 kilograms. For the Fox Clan, 70,000 kilograms was almost all they could afford. Okay, after all, the Fox clan themselves have to eat.

Since Wu Rong and Wu Lanqing were nearby, it was not convenient for the two of them to talk about some things, so they just talked about insignificant gossip.

Before Wu Zhongyuan arrived, the convoy had already started to set off. Before noon, the convoy all drove out. Wu Rong and Wu Lanqing rushed to Wu Zhongyuan and Thirteenth Lang to say goodbye, wanting to accompany the team.

Thirteenth Lang was kind enough to persuade him to stay, and only asked to have lunch before leaving. The two declined politely and insisted on going on their way.

Thirteenth Lang's efforts to persuade him to stay were in vain, so Wu Zhongyuan spoke up, and the four of them returned to the city and went to the Fox Clan Palace for a banquet.

The main content of the conversation during the meal was the future plans of the Fox clan. Wu Zhongyuan once again proposed to Thirteenth Lang that if Thirteenth Lang was willing, the whole family could move north and take refuge in the Middle Earth.

However, this proposal was rejected by Thirteenth Lang on the grounds that the Fox clan had lived here for a long time and the clansmen were unwilling to leave their hometown.

Seeing that Thirteenth Lang was unwilling to move north, Wu Zhongyuan did not persuade him any more. Although Thirteenth Lang's reluctance to leave his homeland was one of the reasons, it was not the main reason. The reason why the Fox Clan was unwilling to move north was because the Fox Clan were not human beings. Don't want to get too close to humans.

Halfway through the banquet, Thirteenth Lang called out his wife and asked her to toast the three of them. This was not a necessary step in the banquet, but it was the highest etiquette in hospitality.

Thirteenth Lang emptied all the remaining food of the Fox clan. It is impossible for the queen not to know that although he forced a smile, Wu Zhongyuan could still feel her depression.

When the Queen brought a toast, Wu Zhongyuan solemnly expressed his position, "Brother Wang, Sister-in-law Wang, the Bear Clan is short of rice and food, so the Fox Clan generously donated money. This is a great kindness to help people in need, and save lives. As the saying goes, no thanks can be expressed for a great favor." If the Fox Clan is in danger, the Bear Clan will definitely come to help and will never betray their trust and stand idly by."

After receiving Wu Zhongyuan's solemn promise, the two of them were greatly relieved. Everyone did not want to be unlucky, but no one could guarantee that their life would be smooth sailing, especially at this critical moment when the five seals were about to disappear and the world was about to be in chaos. Wu Zhongyuan's The promise seems particularly heavy.

Repaying kindness is the foundation of life. While admiring Wu Zhongyuan as a person, Wu Rong and Wu Lanqing can't help but secretly worry that the Fox Clan is far away in the Southern Wilderness. If the five seals disappear, this place will inevitably become an enemy-occupied area. If the Fox Clan really succeeds in the future, When there is a crisis, the Bear Clan rushes thousands of miles to help, just like a lone army goes deep into the country.

The queen toasted three glasses and was about to leave when someone hurriedly ran over from outside. Thirteenth Lang tilted his head and saw it, got up from his seat and went out to greet him.

This person came to report the news, and it was not an urgent business. Thirteenth Lang originally planned to go to Youxiong in the afternoon to give him some gifts for his enthronement. He had already ordered a bird to be used as a foot force, but the owner of the bird just now The contract was suddenly broken, and someone was sent to refund the rent, and told him that the originally ordered birds could no longer be lent to Thirteenth Lang.

Thirteenth Lang didn't care very much about this, because he came in person, and the gifts he prepared could be handed over to him personally, and there was no need to travel to Middle-earth.

However, this small link made Wu Zhongyuan feel more confident. It seemed that Wan Shanhong was not bragging. She was mobilizing a large number of birds to transport rice to the Central Plains.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wu Rong and Wu Lanqing got up to leave and went to catch up with the grain transport team. Wu Zhongyuan also took the opportunity to say goodbye to Thirteenth Lang.

Thirteenth Lang ordered someone to bring a gift prepared for him. In modern times, it is impolite to check the gift in person when giving a gift, but at this time, the gift must be checked in person and then thanked.

A medium-sized wooden box contained three small boxes, three jewelry boxes to be exact. They were brand new and made of agarwood. Each jewelry box contained a set of exquisite jewelry.

Anyone who knows incense knows that agarwood individuals are very small and large pieces are rare. These three jewelry boxes are actually carved from complete agarwood wood. The value of the boxes is much higher than the jewelry inside.

In addition to these three sets of jewelry, there is also a small yellow bag inside. When you open the bag, you will find a small turtle carved from jade. It is crystal clear and completely green. This thing is a hand toy, used to kill time when you have nothing to do. .

In modern times, if you give someone a green turtle, they will beat you up, but that is not the case at this time. The turtle represents longevity. Turtles are often used in handicrafts. The keepsake left by Qiu Yun is also a small turtle.

Seeing the agarwood, Wu Zhongyuan remembered something and took the opportunity to ask Thirteenth Lang about Lingnan. He didn't have much hope at first and never thought that Thirteenth Lang knew this place. At this time, Nanling and Lingnan were synonymous, referring to Hainan Island. of a mountain.

After saying thanks, Wu Zhongyuan left the Fox clan with the wooden box. Wan Shanhong was transporting rice grains and had to go home quickly to organize people to receive it...
