478 - Ah Zheng is not here?

Looking at the polite appearance of these patriarchs, Ji Thief just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Be polite, when everyone was chatting here, Tushan strode in from the outside, grabbed a leather bag in his hand, and said with a big grin: "Patriarch, the Ministry of Trade has already made the Lihuo coin, and they asked me to bring it over to let you see how it is." ”

The sound disturbed everyone, and one by one, they all looked back.

On the contrary, the thief glanced at the side of the earth mountain, and saw that there was no one following him, and for a while, he couldn't help but wonder, and said why didn't Ah Zheng come?

Could it be that Tushan forgot?

After this thought drifted through his mind for a moment, the thief pressed it down, and then stood up, pretending to be surprised: "So soon? ”

Tushan agreed, took the skin bag in his hand, and in front of the puzzled faces of Patriarch Lin, the thief opened the skin bag and poured out all the copper coins minted inside.

There was a crisp sound, and more than a dozen round fire coins all rolled down on the table.

There was an impartial one, which happened to roll in front of Patriarch Lin, who took it in his hand and looked at it suspiciously, and subconsciously asked Ji Thief: "Warrior, what is this?"

The thief sighed, took out a currency of the same denomination, and said, "This one, called the Lihuo Coin, is the latest one I made." After all, it's too troublesome to give the clansmen a month to replace them with prey, so I made these Li Huo Coins, and when the time comes, I only need to send these Li Huo Coins to the clansmen, and when they need prey, they can use Li Huo Coins to find the logistics department to exchange them. ”

When all the patriarchs heard this, they all looked at the currency in Patriarch Lin's hand.

Even Patriarch Lin himself couldn't help but feel strange.

He took a closer look at the currency in his hand, and found that such a small thing was unusually hard.

He took it in his hand and slammed it on the table, and a soft buzz instantly came out of the currency.

Ji Thief then introduced to the patriarchs as if selling: "This thing is easy to carry, and secondly, the area is not too large, in comparison, it is still very convenient." In the Lihuo Tribe, in addition to using currency to buy prey, you can also buy wound medicine, weapons, build houses, and so on. ”

"Can this thing do this?" Patriarch Lin asked Ji Thief with some disbelief.

Ji Thief smiled: "Of course you can, but this thing is just recognized in our Lihuo tribe, and if you trade with your brother, I think it's better to use prey, although it's a little troublesome, but after all, it's a real prey, and it's more reassuring to fall in your hands." ”

Patriarch Lin exchanged the currency back a little sluggishly, and couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart, as far as the warrior said, can these currencies really be used to buy so many resources? Just kidding, this thing can't be eaten, and it doesn't feel safe when you hold it in your hand.

To be honest, if it weren't for the bottom of his heart, Patriarch Lin would have wanted to confirm whether what the thief said was true.

Returning the currency to the thief, Patriarch Lin smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't expect the warrior to be quite idle, making this kind of thing to play." ”

Ji Thief sighed, shook his head and said: "I don't make this kind of thing for fun, but in order to make the life of the clan more convenient, in the past, if everyone had anything they liked, they either grabbed it openly, or took out the same thing in exchange, the former one is impossible, but the latter one is more troublesome to do, so I invented this." ”

As he spoke, Ji Thief also smiled and raised the currency and shook it in front of Patriarch Lin, followed closely, pretended to look at it for a while, and then threw it back into the leather bag, handed it to Tushan, and said, "You can do this batch of currency, take it back." ”

Tushan agreed, took the currency and left.

After he left, the thief continued to chat with the patriarchs.

However, when chatting, Patriarch Lin and the others focused more on currency.

Although they only expressed novelty and doubts about the usefulness of money, they did not mean to use it. But the thief knew that he had deliberately let the currency show his face in front of these patriarchs, and he had successfully captured their hearts, at least, in the hearts of these patriarchs, the currency had clearly left a deep impression.

Although he mentioned currency when he founded the tribe, he didn't have a considerable impression of currency at that time, and these patriarchs didn't know what currency was used for, and now that they knew, Ji Thief had enough reason to believe that after these patriarchs went back, they would definitely think more about currency than anything else in their spare time.

The road has been paved and is just waiting to be driven on.

Thinking of this, Ji Thief smiled slightly.

The group chatted for a long time, and after lunch, everyone said goodbye.

The thief personally sent them to the gate of the valley, and when he waved goodbye, the thief sighed involuntarily and said, "If Usma hadn't been sick, he would definitely be able to sell some money this time, at least, let Patriarch Lin take them back and study it well, but unfortunately, it's a pity that I don't even have a wingman by my side that can be used." ”

Tushan looked at the thief suspiciously: "Patriarch, what are you muttering about?"

Ji Thief glanced at Tushan: "Are you embarrassed to ask me, let me ask you, let you go to Azai, what about the person you are looking for?"

Tushan scratched his head: "I did look for it, but Ah Zai is not there." ”

"Ah Zheng is not in the logistics department?"

Ji Thief was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking.

Tushan nodded: "Yes, I also asked the logistics tribesman where Ah Zheng went, but the answer I got was that I didn't know." ”

Hearing this, Ji Thief couldn't help but wonder: "It's strange, what's going on with Ah Zheng lately, why do you often disappear." ”

Tushan looked at Ji Thief and asked, "Did Ah Zai sneak somewhere to be lazy?"

Ji Thief glanced at Tushan: "You think Ah Zheng is like you, forget it, don't think about Ah Zheng, maybe, he is going to be busy somewhere, go, let's go back." ”

Seeing the thief leaving, Tushan hurriedly chased after him.

But the truth of the matter, is it really as Ji Thief said, is Ah Zheng going somewhere to be busy?

The answer is no.

The Eastern Plains are about two or three hours away to the northeast, and this is a special place in the Eastern Plains.

After all, in the eastern plains, which were flat as far as the eye could see, there were very few particularly large stones other than the valleys of the Lihuo tribe and the valleys in the south.

But here, there is a boulder pressed on the ground, and under the boulder, there is a pit dug out by a black bear, but the owner of the pit has already been torn apart by the former overlord of the Eastern Plains, that is, the wolves, leaving only the huge hole in place.

Moreover, the pit that has not been tended for a long time has been overgrown with weeds at the entrance, covering the entrance to the cave.

If you don't take a closer look, you can hardly find the existence of this pit.

At the same time, inside the pit, there were strange sounds one after another.

This is a sound in which males are excited when they hear it, and females are shy when they hear it.

The sound lasted for some time, and finally, in a low roar, it finally fell silent.

When I looked into the pit, I saw that two primitive people in the pit were lying on the ground gasping for breath.

One of them is Ah Zheng, the head of the Lihuo tribe, and the other is Mu Lian, who is already dead.

"Ah, you've been here less and less lately. Mulian lay on the ground and couldn't help complaining.

Don't get me wrong, she complained, not really because of the low number of times Ah Zheng came.

The reason why she said such things was entirely because Ah Zheng came less often, and she didn't have a stable source of food, that's all.

If Ah Zheng didn't bring her food, then Mulian would have to do it herself.

But, how can it be so easy to hunt alone?

Let's not talk about whether it will bump into the Lihuo tribe's hunting department that hunts in the Eastern Plains every day, just those various predators on the Eastern Plains can make Mu Lian's life end.

What's more, because of the intervention of the Lihuo tribe, the vigilance of the prey in the eastern plains has gradually increased, which makes Mu Lian interrupt her hunting thoughts.

A few days ago, Ah Zheng couldn't come over for four or five days in a row, didn't Mu Lian, who had run out of food, almost starve herself to death?
