Chapter 272
Jane heard Fred complain about Jason, and gave Fred a hard look.
Fred immediately wilted like a frost-beaten eggplant.
"Who?"
An old man's voice came from the house.
"Crench~!"
The door of the house opened slowly.
An elderly man in a thick fur coat poked his head out of the room.
"Grandpa, hello, we are businessmen who came here from the middle of the country to do business. We accidentally lost our way on the ice field. Look at the cold weather outside. We are really wearing thin clothes. I don't know. Do you have extra thick clothes in your family? Can you lend us some? We will give you the money."
Jason approached him kindly, and said to the old man.
"Then come in and warm up first!"
The uncle saw that Jason and the others did not seem to have any malicious intentions, so he invited them into the house.
Jason and the four of them sat around the fireplace burning this fire in the uncle's house to keep warm.
And the old man enthusiastically boiled a pot of hot tea for them.
The uncle smiled, came over with tea, sat down and said to Jason and the others, "Our family doesn't have many thick clothes. I have asked my wife to borrow them from the village. You can drink some hot clothes here." Tea, wait for a while, and warm up your body by the way!"
The uncle poured a full cup of hot tea for Jason and the others.
"Thank you uncle!"
Jason took the hot tea from the uncle, blew the hot air on the quilt lightly, and was about to drink it.
"Wait a moment!"
Rick stopped Jason immediately.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
Jason asked Rick.
"Don't drink indiscriminately, be careful of poison."
Rick said to Jason cautiously.
"Master, please have a drink first!"
As he spoke, Rick hid the cup in Jason's hand and handed it to the old man.
"What's wrong with this?"
The old man is just an ordinary person. He has never seen such a posture. He took the cup handed over by Rick and drank the cup of hot tea in one gulp.
"Well, okay, everyone, let's drink!"
Rick saw that the old man had nothing to do after drinking, so he was relieved and signaled for everyone to drink.
"No, what are you doing? He received us so warmly, and you are so suspicious of him, how chilling are you?"
It was only then that Jason realized what Ke was going to do here suddenly. He was co-authoring because he was afraid that someone would poison them.
"Being defensive is a must, and we have never met him before, so of course we have to be more cautious about what we give."
Rick showed a strong, vigilant attitude.
"Master, don't pay attention to him, this guy is like this."
Jason comforted the old man.
"Oh, oh, it's okay, it's okay!"
The old man was very accommodating.
But originally this uncle had no doubts about the identities of Jason and the others, but when asked by Rick, he became suspicious.
After greeting Jason and the others, he left on the excuse of going to see if his wife had gotten thick clothes for Jason and the others.
After the old man left, Jason took a sip of the hot tea in his hand with a look of enjoyment, and said to Rick, "You say you, really, this old man looks like the kind of honest and responsible person, you How could you think of others so badly? Your thinking is absolutely unacceptable? The world is still very beautiful, don’t always think of others as bad people, really, it’s not good, it’s not good!”
"Hey, stop pretending here, do you need to teach my elder brother what to do?"
Seeing Jason preaching to Rick, Fred couldn't help but yelled at Jason.
"Hey, why are you everywhere, Director Chou's is full of you, could it be that it was sung for you? You are the weakest of us, so you have no right to speak!"
Jason put down the teacup in his hand and said to Fred quietly.
"you!"
Fred was outraged by Jason's humiliation, but is there anything he can do? After all, he is indeed not Jason's opponent.
Just as Jason and the others were enjoying the warmth leisurely, they suddenly heard a loud noise outside the door.
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
Jane frowned and looked out the door.
"The people in the house come out!"
"Yes, come out for us!"
There was a group of shouts from outside the door.
"I really think they are calling us!"
Jane looked at Jason with questioning eyes.
"It's over, it must be Rick's vigilance that caught the attention of that uncle, let's go! Let's go out and see what's going on!"
Jason drank the hot tea in his cup, glanced at it reluctantly, and walked out with the warm flame.
A lot of strong men with farm tools in their hands have already come outside.
Seeing Jason and the others coming out, those strong men clenched their farming tools tightly!Staring at Jason and the others carefully.
"Everyone, what are you doing?"
Jason asked them.
"What are you doing? We should ask you this, right? What are you doing in our northern border?"
One of the leaders of the group of strong men asked Jason.
"We, we are a group of businessmen who came to the north to do business?"
Jason said to the strong men with an innocent face.
"Businessman? Bah! How can a businessman come to do business empty-handed? Even if you have no goods, since you come to do business with us, at least you should have learned a lot about our northern border before you come back to do business with us, right? Now that you guys have come to our northern border, you don’t even know how to prepare thick clothes for business? You’re just fooling around!”
The leading young man exposed Jason's lie with a look of disdain.
"That's right~! They are definitely not good things!"
"Grab 'em, grab 'em!"
Those strong men all shouted.
"Are all the dragons so smart now?"
Jason thought to himself.
"What shall we do now?"
Jane asked Jason a little anxiously.
"What are you doing so much? If we let them make a big mess, how can we lurk into Winter City? Just kill them!"
As Rick spoke, anger gradually gathered in his hands.
"Don't! They are just a group of ordinary people. We should not fight with them. After all, no matter how strong the ruler is, without the support of the people, the country will not be stable."
Jason grabbed Rick's arm and said to him.
After listening to Jason's words, Rick felt that there was some truth in it, so he suppressed his anger.
"Folks, listen to me. As you said, we are indeed not businessmen. It's better for you not to know what we do!"
Jason still spoke politely to everyone.
But those strong men obviously didn't listen to Jason's words. As soon as Jason's words fell, a strong man grabbed a bowl-sized stone and threw it at Jane.
