Chapter 178 Trouble
After Chang Ningchen was able to mass-produce glass, they no longer robbed the caravans, but instead took them to do business.
The merchants were very surprised to see the crystal clear gem. When Chang Ningchen took out a glass kettle, the merchants widened their eyes. It was the first time they had seen a kettle made of such a transparent material. They could even see clearly what was soaked inside.
This material and this exquisite craftsmanship are absolutely unmatched in this capital! The merchants have a keen sense of smell and they tentatively inquired about the origin of this item.
Chang Ningchen also knew the value of this thing, and said very tactfully that they bought it from a Western caravan, and it was the only one available, so the highest bidder would get it. In fact, they made a table full of various glass water cups and sold them to the caravans when they met them.
They could do business at the foot of the mountain without leaving home, and later many merchants came here smelling the scent of wealth. After all, this glass water bottle was really beautiful, and the rich people in the capital were proud to get this item.
There are few glass water bottles but many rich people, so businessmen naturally try every means to get them. Soon, Chang Ningchen has accumulated a large amount of wealth.
Chang Ningchen didn't expect that before he had sold all the bottles on the table, he had a lot of money in his hands. He used the money to build a Duobao Pavilion to help him sell glass products.
Chang Ningchen made a lot of money just from the glass. He looked at the candy in his hand hesitantly. If he took this out, everyone would probably go crazy. Eating candy was a luxury in ancient times.
Dongfang He was very happy to see Chang Ningchen making money. After all, Chang Ningchen took his hand and said, "My money is your money!"
If Chang Ningchen was killed, his money would be confiscated! Thinking of this, he was reluctant to do so.
Dongfang He looked at Chang Ningchen's sunny smile, and thought of his angry and sad look after being backstabbed, and he felt a little upset.
Chang Ningchen noticed Dongfang He looking at him and ran over happily. He took Dongfang He's hand and said, "Now we are selling sugar too. When the time comes, we can recruit soldiers and we won't be afraid of the imperial army anymore."
That would be a big threat. Dongfang He was a little worried, but two months had already passed and he didn't have much time left!
That night, there was a sudden explosion. Chang Ningchen quickly got up and went to the next room to look for Dongfang He, but when he arrived at the room, he found that the person was gone. He touched the quilt and found that it was cold.
This guy ran away again! Chang Ningchen went out very annoyed and asked someone to find someone. It was very likely that someone was attacking the mountain. Fortunately, there were mines buried at the foot of the mountain, which alerted them after being triggered.
Dongfang He was now dressed neatly and hiding in the woods. He planned to escape in the chaos when a fight broke out. He deliberately wrote an anonymous letter to the government asking them to send people to encircle and suppress him.
Anyone who sees a hen that lays golden eggs would want to take it away, but he didn't really want Chang Ningchen to die. He estimated that with Chang Ningchen's strength, even if the imperial court sent troops to attack them, they might not be able to defeat them. All Dongfang He needed was an opportunity to escape!
While instructing Chen Shu and others to resist the attack, Chang Ningchen was looking for Dongfang He's whereabouts. He wanted to pull out Fugui, the dog raised by Bai Erge, to find him, but he didn't expect that Dongfang He had already made the dog drunk with steamed buns soaked in wine.
It doesn’t matter if there’s no dog! Chang Ningchen asked the system to highlight the names above Dongfang He’s head, and soon he saw a bright spot in the dark woods.
It feels like a plug-in has been installed in the game, directly marking the location of Dongfang He! And other people can't see it, it's super convenient to use!
Chang Ningchen picked up his weapon and rushed towards Dongfang He, but the man hiding in the woods did not realize that his position had been exposed!
At this moment, Dongfang He was trying hard to walk down the mountain, but the forest where no one walked was full of thorny vines. He was either pricked or tripped, and he moved forward stumblingly all the way.
Just when he felt that there was a vast open space in front of him, a strong hand grabbed him. Chang Ningchen shouted anxiously: "Don't go forward! There is a cliff ahead!"
Dongfang He was frightened by Chang Ningchen's words and accidentally stepped on empty air and fell down. Fortunately, Chang Ningchen had already grabbed him and pulled him up again.
Dongfang He, still in shock, hugged Chang Ningchen tightly. He almost fell down just now! Chang Ningchen knew that this place was dangerous and it was not suitable to stay for long, so he hugged Dongfang He and walked back.
When the man came to his senses, he was already being carried back to the village by Chang Ningchen. He pushed Chang Ningchen away in shame and anger, but the pain in his hand made him frown.
When he fell just now, the edge of the cliff was covered with thorns. The thorn vine he grabbed in a hurry was now covered with thorns on his hands.
Chang Ningchen saw Dongfang He's scarred hand, and took a look at it with great distress, then said, "Go soak it in hot water first, and I'll help you pick out the thorn after I finish my work."
Dongfang He's hands were hurting, but he saw that Chang Ningchen's hands were covered with thorns and were much more seriously injured than his. He also carried him for such a long time. A strong sense of guilt came over him, and Dongfang He couldn't help asking: "Aren't you angry if I ran away?"
Chang Ningchen quickly replied, "Of course I'm angry! But if you die, won't I have nowhere to vent my anger? It's such a shame. I'll still give you a beating when I'm done!"
Dongfang He's guilt subsided a lot after hearing Chang Ningchen's words. Not long after, Brother Bai came over and said, "Those guys are inhumane! They just set the mountain on fire!"
This means they are not going to let them live! Dongfang He was terrified when he heard this. He didn't expect the other party's methods to be so cruel!
Chang Ningchen was not desolate. The original owner had been in Baihu Mountain for many years. In order to deal with this situation, they dug a tunnel, so he said to everyone: "Let's evacuate from the tunnel!"
The group quickly retreated to a safe place. Dongfang He discovered that the tunnel led to a village not far away, and the people in the village seemed to know Chang Ningchen and the others.
Seeing them coming, a village master came out to greet Chang Ningchen without panic and was very polite to him.
Soon, the people on the mountain dispersed and moved into the villagers' homes. Chang Ningchen and Dongfang He moved into a nice courtyard.
At night, Chang Ningchen lit a lamp to help Dongfang He find the flaws. He carefully checked again and again to make sure there was nothing missing before applying ointment on his hands.
Dongfang He knew that he was the one who caused all the trouble that night, so he said to Chang Ningchen, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. Your hand is also injured. I will help you pick out the thorn."
Chang Ningchen showed his wounded hand to Dongfang He. In order to pull Dongfang He up, some of the thorns had penetrated deeply into the flesh.
After seeing the village chief, Chang Ningchen learned from one of the original owner's memories that the original owner's identity was not simple, and it would be very risky for Dongfang He to follow him.
So Chang Ningchen wanted Dongfang He to make his own decision. He said, "This village is 30 kilometers north of the capital. If you want to leave, you can leave now. I won't stop you and I won't look for you in the future."
