Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

Chapter 151 Want to rob the bandits?

"Daddy! Good eggs! Good eggs are alive!"

Luoluo was wearing a brand new down jacket and clapped his hands happily, but the little guy's tongue was still a little sticky and he couldn't pronounce the words clearly.

Seeing her daughter wearing new clothes, Shen Cuiyun was happier than if she were wearing new clothes herself.

"This clothing is really good. It's warm and lightweight, much better than a cotton coat."

Shen Cuiyun touched Luoluo's cotton coat and couldn't stop praising her.

Chen Changfan's craftsmanship is excellent, and Luo Luo doesn't look bulky at all after putting on the down jacket. Instead, she looks even more adorable.

"Cuiyun, tomorrow you should mobilize the women in the village to collect duck down, and then have someone buy some ducklings. We will raise them, and then we will have a continuous supply of duck down."

Chen Changfan also realized the preciousness of duck down at this time.

The cotton production in this era was extremely low. Not only was it expensive, but its warmth retention effect was not as good as duck down. This was indeed a business opportunity.

Shen Cuiyun immediately understood her man's intention and nodded in agreement. After helping Chen Changfan soak his feet with monkey blood, he massaged them according to the method taught by Chen Changfan.

The comfortable touch made Chen Changfan relax all over, and soon he fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

When Shen Cuiyun saw that her man fell asleep so quickly, she felt both distressed and angry.

"Humph, I wanted to have a private chat with you, but you fell asleep so quickly..."

The lady gave a coquettish cry, took off her outer clothes, and lay down beside Chen Changfan.

……

Misty Mountains.

Today, it is more lively here than usual because the market of Xiaofengshan is built here.

The area covers over a hundred square meters, and a variety of goods are displayed, just like a small market.

Swords, fine wine, mountain products, prey, and many things that no one had ever seen before were displayed one by one, attracting everyone's attention.

Similar to the market in Qingshan County, these customers all looked like they had never seen the world, except that the ones in the county were all ordinary people, while here were thugs and bandits who lived on the edge of a knife.

Of course, the armed forces on Xiaofengshan's side are also not bad.

Zhang Yi led a team of fully armed soldiers to patrol back and forth in the market town. The soldiers looked at the bandits like hungry wolves seeing meat.

If Zhang Yi had not reminded them to remain restrained, the soldiers would have drawn their swords the moment they saw the bandits.

In the eyes of the soldiers, these bandits were not ordinary buyers, but walking fat sheep.

A head is worth one or two taels of silver. If you are lucky enough to meet a bandit leader, the head will be even more valuable.

The bandits were still very interested in the news about the Misty Ridge Market. After all, there was a shortage of living resources in the mountains, and many supplies were urgently needed by the major mountain strongholds, otherwise they would not come down the mountain to rob every now and then.

Now that there is a market opening right next to their home, the bandits naturally want to come and see what is going on.

Therefore, all the big and small strongholds on the green hills sent some people to Misty Ridge. If others didn't know that this was a market town, they would probably have thought it was some kind of bandit gathering.

Seeing customers coming in one after another, Manager Fu signaled his waiters to start shouting.

"The finest ring-handled sword, fresh out of the oven! Only 20 taels each!"

"Good wine goes with good men, heroes roar over the green mountains! Come, come, come! Xiaofengshan's exclusive craft lantern wine is so delicious! 2 taels of silver for a large pot!"

"This nourishing spiritual herb is so loud! As for why this herb is so loud, only those who use it will know!"

With the shouts coming one after another, Misty Ridge suddenly became lively.

Weapons, fine wine, and kidney-tonifying medicine had a fatal attraction to the bandits. In addition, each of these bandits was not short of money, so after a brief wait and see, they all donated generously.

In just one morning, all the goods were sold out. According to Shen Wanwu's rough estimate, the sales volume had exceeded 500 taels of silver.

Shopkeeper Fu has arranged for his men to urgently replenish the stock. Many bandits have shown unprecedented patience and have been waiting on the spot for replenishment. Some even nearly came to blows over the issue of queuing.

According to this trend, it should not be a problem for the Misty Ridge Market to exceed one thousand and two taels of silver in sales on the first day of its opening.

This scene was hard to believe for the guys working in the market.

They probably never dreamed that they could make money from bandits in this life.

Even the bandits would wait in the cold wind for an hour just to buy a few more jugs of wine.

"My dear fellows, if you have any good goods, you can also set up a stall in the market to sell them. During the first month of the market's opening, we will not charge any interest. You can take this opportunity to make a fortune!"

Manager Fu released the news at the right time, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the bandits.

Soon, some bandits set up stalls on the spot and started selling their goods in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

"Selling ginseng! Selling ginseng! Hundred-year-old wild ginseng for a bargain!"

"High-quality sulfur, a great cure for psoriasis! You can buy a whole piece for just one or two ounces of silver!"

……

These individual sellers make the market more lively, but what really attracts people's attention are the stalls opened by the gangs.

"The Tiger Head Gang is selling large quantities of high-quality raw silk! The quality is reliable, and the highest bidder wins!"

The man from the Tiger Head Gang who was shouting had a fierce look on his face. He was standing on a carriage full of goods and shouting in a rough voice.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanwu, who had been silently settling accounts, suddenly changed his expression. He saw the man from the Tiger Head Gang from afar, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes. After seeing the truckload of goods, his eyes almost spitted fire.

"Damn bandits, that's my raw silk..."

He cursed with gnashing teeth. When the bandits lined up beside him heard this, their eyebrows immediately raised and they quickly drew their knives. "Who the hell are you cursing to death?"

Wow!

The soldiers of the anti-bandit team almost simultaneously drew their swords and pointed the tips of their blades at the bandit. "What the hell do you want to do?"

The bandit immediately became intimidated and put away his knife in a dejected manner. "Nothing, haha, don't be nervous, don't be nervous."

Shen Wanwu held the account book in his hand, but his eyes were staring at the Tiger Head Gang with hatred, with an expression as if he wanted to eat someone.

"How about I give you a knife, and you go up and kill them all, and then take back all your raw silk?"

At this moment, a faint voice sounded from behind him. Shen Wanwu turned around and immediately bowed his head respectfully and called out, "Master Chen..."

"It seems that your so-called business failure was caused by the robbery of your goods by this group of bandits."

Shen Wanwu gritted his teeth, his expression somewhat painful as he said, "The one who betrayed me was my best brother. I... I really can't understand..."

Shen Wanwu seemed to be in great pain and could hardly continue speaking.

"waste!"

What Shen Wanwu didn't expect was that Chen Changfan said these two words.

It was not sympathy, nor anger, but a tone of anger at the lack of resistance, and he snorted.

"Master Chen, you..." A hint of anger just appeared on Shen Wanwu's face, but he was interrupted again by Chen Changfan:

"When someone bullies you, you curse them secretly behind their backs. What's the difference between that and a cuckold? If I were you, I would go up and beat them to death, kill them all!"

When Chen Changfan said this, he was like a ferocious beast, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and an invisible aura of dominance was revealed.

"I also want to fight, but... but there are too many of them. I am no match for them alone. Besides, they are the Tiger Head Gang from the Eighteenth Route Stronghold..."

Shen Wanwu's expression became even more painful.

"madness!"

Chen Changfan yelled again, but this time Shen Wanwu was not angry. Instead, he looked at Chen Changfan with expectation.

He felt that the other party seemed to want to help him get justice.

"You knew you were no match for him, so why didn't you draw on the strength of others? Since you've surrendered to me, why didn't you ask for my help? You still have the nerve to claim you're skilled in cunning and calculations, but do you know that advantage comes from position, not hard work? If you endure this humiliation alone, you'll probably die of old age without ever being able to seek revenge."

thump!

Shen Wanwu was mortified by Chen Changfan's words. He knelt down crying and said through gritted teeth, "Master Chen, please do me justice. I will kill those enemies with my own hands. If I can avenge them, I will die for you in the future!"

Hearing Shen Wanwu's words, Chen Changfan twitched the corners of his mouth and then turned and left.

Shen Wanwu looked at his voice in astonishment as it faded away. But the faint voice reached his ears, "Who cares about your life? Just consider your cartload of raw silk as the interest from my sale."

Shooting?

Could it be that Lord Chen... is going to rob the bandits?

Shen Wanwu was stunned for a moment, then his nose felt sore and tears almost fell.

He suppressed his nasal pain and kowtowed heavily in the direction where Chen Changfan left. "Thank you, Master Chen! I will remember your great kindness!"

……

The sun sets in the west and the market closes.

As expected, the Tiger Head Gang didn't sell any of their raw silk.

The reason is simple: the bandits don't understand textile technology at all. Raw silk is worthless waste in their hands, and only a fool would spend money to buy it.

However, all the goods in Xiaofengshan were sold out, and Manager Fu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

The bandit suppression team escorted the goods back to Xiaofeng Mountain, while Chen Changfan led a team to leave early and set up an ambush early.

"This is the only way back to Hutou Mountain. If the Hutou Gang's convoy shows up, you know what to do, right?"

In the bushes, Chen Changfan was making pre-war mobilization.

"I know! As soon as he shows his head, I'll fuck him!"

A bald warrior replied.

"Fuck you!" Chen Changfan cursed. "When they show their heads, hide them all. Wait until they're within range before shooting. Got it?"

Chen Changfan was really convinced.

It's obvious that these people were trained by Lao Wei. Each of them is like a fool and doesn't understand the essence of ambush warfare at all.

"Got it. Hide if you show your head, and shoot if you get close!"

Chen Changfan nodded with satisfaction, then caught a glimpse of a team of carriages heading towards him on the distant mountain road.

It was the group of bandits from the Tiger Head Gang.

Chen Changfan counted them and found there were three carriages in total.

There were dozens of bandits escorting the goods, and it was obvious that they knew that this batch of raw silk was very valuable.

"The distance is too far, I can't count the number of people..."

Everyone concentrated and held their breath, waiting patiently as the group of people slowly approached.
