He was wearing a white shirt, a simple white belt tied around his waist, black hair, a pair of dark and deep eyes, and a majestic figure.

Yue Lin glanced at the man, and sure enough, he was a person who provoked peach blossoms, didn't you see that these girls were looking at you, why did you attract bees and butterflies as soon as you went out! That's not good!

Most of the places in the Jiuli tribe can be walked around at will, even foreigners, but there is one place, which is the place where paper is made.

After all, one of China's four major inventions, papermaking is generally introduced in Chinese textbooks, although the introduction is not detailed, but wood pulp paper or something, I still know more or less.

What interests Yue Lin is not papermaking but waist machines, or looms, and cotton, since the Jiuli tribe has cotton, there must be cotton, and the quilt made of cotton is the real quilt!

Jiuli people are more terrible than the other, crooked mouths, less limbs are quite common, the entire gathering place for disabled people, and most of them are born with disabilities, unlike the soldiers in Yanbei who were injured and amputated because of the day after tomorrow and became disabled, no wonder Jiuli Wu will give people bones, when encountering such a tribe full of disabilities, if you don't learn to pick bones, then the whole tribe may not have a normal warrior.

Wu Chen didn't care about the expressions of the girls on the side, but followed the young man tightly to the left and right, because Zang Heng left and couldn't continue to follow Zang Heng's Jinghong to Yue Lin's arms, and began to follow Yue Lin's back tightly every day.

Yue Lin, who had been wandering around for a day, mysteriously pulled Wu Chen and said, "I may know why the people of the Jiuli tribe have grown like this. ”

"Why?"

"Because they like to marry close relatives! There are not too many brothers and sisters who get married, the whole tribe is an elder brother marrying a younger sister, and a sister marrying a younger brother, can it not be like this! ”

"Inbred marriage?"

Glancing at Yue Lin suspiciously, Wu Chen frowned, although it was not the first time he heard Yue Lin say something he didn't understand, and it wouldn't be the last.

The person in front of me appeared suddenly, and if one day he suddenly disappeared, what would he do? Never let that happen.

Absolute.

"That is, if there is a blood relationship, the probability of freaks born from the union of men and women is very high, and the people of the Jiuli tribe seem to be very advocating close relatives to marry, and almost every family is a brother and sister, so why do Jiuli people have so many freaks, even if they can survive, most of them are not long."

Yue Lin, who was able to speak energetically, was suddenly grabbed by the man's hand in the air, stunned for a moment, and looked at Wu Chen, who looked not quite right beside him, suspiciously.

"Wu Chen, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to hold your hand."

The man raised an eyebrow and whispered.

"Oh."

Fortunately, it was dark, otherwise he would have been seen blushing, and they had been together for so long, why did this person suddenly become sultry? I used to touch my buttocks, but now I say something that makes people blush (╯"□′)╯(┻━┻The most annoying thing is myself, and I even blush because of a man's words, what the hell are you a man blushing!

On the dark road, I finally saw the lights in the distance, several warriors were walking in front of the gate with torches, Zang Heng followed the rock grass caravan and finally arrived in front of the Gale Tribe, standing at the door but suddenly stopped, why hasn't the tribe come for so long and no one has taken us back, what is it for.

The tribe in front of me had obviously only been established for a long time, and the houses were all newly built, and the grass on them was still bright yellow, not covered with dust.

A few guards walked by with torches, and they laughed and watched out for people coming from afar, and the soldiers with torches were alert.

One of the patrolling soldiers tried his best to move forward with torches, trying to see who the person in the distance was, he frowned and asked sharply, "Who is it?" ”

Hearing the familiar voice, Zang Heng was silent for a while, and looked at several rock grass warriors around him, the leader of the rock grass was a young boy, who should be the future leader of the rock grass, the young man's skills were very good, and he was not in a hurry with a team of people and horses, he said indifferently: "We are people from the rock grass tribe, we have lived in the Gale tribe for a period of time before, we went to the Jiuli tribe some time ago, and now we want to stay in the Gale tribe for a while." ”

Zang Heng bowed his head slightly and sat on the high-headed horse, and shouted in a low voice.

"Hidden wall?"

The warrior whose name was called trembled and raised his torch, and then the faint light of the fire saw Zangheng's face clearly in the sky.

"Uncle, you're not dead!"

Zang Heng frowned, and said suspiciously: "Who said that I am dead, I have been staying in Yanyi waiting for the tribe to send someone to pick us up, but for so long, no one has come." ”

"But the tribe sent people, but when they came back, they said that the Yanyi tribe was gone, and after going several times, the tribe gave up......"

Hearing his nephew's words, Zang Heng's heart suddenly cooled, came to Yanyi to find it? Yanyi has now become Yanbei, bigger than before, Yanyi is gone, this is simply lying, the people of the tribe have never come, it turns out that from beginning to end it is the luxury of himself and a few abandoned clansmen!

has been stupidly waiting for the tribe to come back in Yanbei and come back and leave with us.

Zang Heng's heart tingled, looking at the gate of the Gale Tribe, the indescribable bitterness in his heart, what is the waiting of himself and others in Yanbei?

Zangbi took his uncle's hand and said happily: "Uncle is still alive, tell Abba, Abba will definitely be very happy, Uncle will go with me to see Abba!" ”

Breaking free from the young man's hand, Zang Heng grabbed the torch, looked at his nephew, and asked, "Where does the Great Wind Witch live?" ”

"The newly renovated witch temple in the middle."

Under the firelight, the man was like a wounded beast, licking his wounds, he held the torch in his hand, and re-entered the gate of the Gale Tribe, there were not many people in it who had not yet slept, and Zang Heng let out a cry like a beast as he ran.

The man who rushed to the stone house was like a tired beast, and with a kick, he kicked the wooden door open, and the great wind witch who was lying on the bed dreaming suddenly got up from the bed and looked around nervously.

"What's wrong, what's going on!"

Under the firelight, the man's eyes were bloodshot red, and he threw the torch on the ground, and lifted the fat man on the bed with both hands.

"Why?"

"Why are you suing me?!"

Gale Witch's neck was strangled by his clothes, his brain finally came to his senses, and now in front of him was - Zang Heng!

"Zangheng? How did you end up here! If you let me go, I'm going to be strangled to death by you! ”

Zang Heng's hands trembled, he loosened the placket of the Great Wind Witch, and looked at the Great Wind Witch who was lying on the bed panting with both hands in fists.

"Say, give me a reason."

Gale Witch looked at Zang Heng tremblingly and asked, "How did you come here, how did you come here?" ”

"I came with the people from Yanbei."

"Yanbeiren?"

Gale Wu looked at Zang Heng suspiciously, what kind of tribe is Yanbei, there has never been such a tribe on the trade route.

"It's Yanyi, they have now changed their name to Yanbei."

Gale Witch shuddered and fell to the ground, his face depressed and wailing.

"It's coming, it's still coming!"

Anxious like an ant on a hot pot, Gale Wu glared at Zang Heng, although he was angry, he couldn't blame Zang Heng.

"What the hell is going on, why don't you send someone to pick us up, we have been waiting for the people of the tribe to come back in Yanyi, and we made a sudden decision to leave before?"

"Zangheng, you are also an old man who has walked through Shang, a tribe that has been destroyed on this trade road...... There are punctuation points on the business map of the Gale Tribe, except for Yan Yi, who we don't mark because of our past habits, the other tribes have ......"

"Last time, I was caught by the people of Xiangsui City and wanted to kill me, and in the end, Yi Feng exchanged my life with a merchant map and a nobleman in Xiangsui City."

Zang Heng frowned and looked at the Great Wind Witch, "So those tribes that have been destroyed are all because of our tribe's business map?" ”

"That's right! That's why I'm in a hurry to leave, I think they will definitely find out about this, you also know that the Yanyi people are all extremely tall, if we fight, we will definitely not be their opponents, so I rushed to take the tribesmen away. ”

After saying so much in one breath, the chubby body of the Great Wind Witch was a little panting.

Zang Heng looked at the Great Wind Witch in silence, and suddenly sneered.

"After you left, they didn't kill us, and treated us like ordinary clansmen, and even said that if you don't come, they can accept us as Yanbei's clansmen."

"Dafeng Wu, do you know how many people there are in Yanbei now?"

Dafeng Wu's squinted eyes looked at Zang Heng suspiciously, a pair of small eyes swirled in his sockets, and asked tentatively, "How many people?" ”

"Yue Linqi said that there are 40,000 people in Yanbei, that is, 40 Yanyi."

The fat on his body trembled a few times, and the Great Wind Witch glared at the man's face and shook his head again and again, "Impossible, how could Yan Yi suddenly have so many people?" ”

"They unified the thirty-seven tribes of the Northern Plains, and the process is not important, what matters is the result."

Zang Heng's eyes were like knives, he looked at the big wind witch in front of him, glanced at the man helplessly, and then squinted his eyes and thought of the twenty or so Yanbei warriors who came with him.

Yes, the process is not important, what matters is the result, the current Yanyi, no, Yanbei is no longer comparable to the Gale Tribe.

In the hut on the other side, Wu Chen and Yue Lin were lying on the bed, finally able to talk properly, the days of heaven and earth feasting every day had finally passed, and the two of them were lying in the warm quilt and warming each other.

Because there are many woods, the surrounding weather is so cold that it makes people shiver at night, and they are more and more nestled in the arms of men.

Before noon the next day, the Jiuli Witch was seen again under the leadership of Yue Lin Zai Duo Keer.

Jiu kept a straight face as usual, and Li Ze looked at a few people gently, with a smile on his face, and asked, "I don't know what happened when Yue Linwu came to me?" ”

Jiu made a grimace at Yue Lin, and then continued to close his eyes, knowing that Li and Yue Lin were going to talk about business, and they couldn't disturb them, although the two were together all the time every day, but if they really wanted to say it, in fact, it was still dominated by Li, and the big and small things of the tribe were decided by Li.

"Li, do you want to know why the people of the Jiuli tribe are so strange, born lame and missing arms?"

"You know?"

Li looked at Yue Lin suspiciously, a pair of eyes full of wisdom suddenly emitted a strange light, he looked at the young man's face, his eyes were like a knife pointed directly at people's hearts.

"Yes."

Yue Lin nodded, Li frowned, looked at Yue Lin, and after a moment of silence, he finally compromised, sighed and asked, "What do you need to exchange?" ”

"Waist machine."

Although the waist machine is one of the unique things in Jiuli, there are actually some in several big cities, and the waist machine can be said to be something that Jiuli people learned from other cities, but it has been improved.

"I thought you'd want a way to make paper...... "Li let out a long breath.

"Sue me for what is the reason why the people of our tribe have become like this, the waist machine can teach you."

Jiuhu glanced at the two suspiciously, but did not speak.

"You Jiuli people like to marry close relatives, and close relatives marry that means that brothers and sisters marry or people who are related by blood are combined with each other, so that the children born from this combination will have a large number of natural disabilities."

Li Haokan's brows furrowed, and he didn't see deception on Yan Sù's face, but extremely serious eyes.

"How do you prove it?"

Li squinted his eyes, and a pair of turquoise eyes shone with a little cold light.

"Just find out the relationship between the normal people and parents of the tribe to know if I am right or not."

Looking at the backs of Yue Lin and Wu Chen leaving, Li squinted his eyes and thought in his heart,

"What are you thinking?" Jiu didn't know what Li was thinking, and asked suspiciously, "Are you really planning to use the method given by Yue Lin to find out if the people of the tribe have become deformed for this reason?" ”

"Why not, it's just a waste of time, but if the reason is really found, then the tribe will no longer be a freak, but a normal person like other tribes, and there will be no one like you and me, who have been together since birth, and will never be separated."

The drizzle in the sky was like flying flotsam, and looking at the relationship between all the tribe people who were written out one by one, Li and Jiu were silent.

"It's ridiculous, I, Jiuli, have always thought that my tribe was cursed by the ancestral gods, but I didn't expect that brother and sister can't be together."

"It's okay, it's okay, now that we know the reason, the people of the tribe will definitely become normal in the future, and there won't be so many children who die as soon as they are born."

Nine lamented, most of the people in the tribe were born with deformities, but in fact, there were many more babies who died at birth, and the deformities that survived were already very good.

But how can the family with so many brothers and sisters in the tribe be dismantled......

Jiu Li Wu's head widened when he thought of this question.

"Do you know the reason why the Jiuli people are freaks, and the reason why you sue Jiuli Wu is really because you want a waist machine?" Wu Chen looked at Yue Lin with some doubts, because the waist machine is actually not a necessity for Yanbei, and linen cloth can also be worn, and the waist machine is actually not important to a Yanbei.

Not for the waist machine, but because of ......

I probably can't bear to see this tribesman disappear in the end.

And as a doctor, since you know the reason, you must help these people.

"I don't want this tribe to disappear, if you don't tell them the reason, this tribe will only die out in the end, and when Yanbei comes here in the future, there will be no place to stay!" Yue Lin stuck out his tongue and said.

I don't know why I felt that the smile of the little thing was very dazzling at this moment, Wu Chen grabbed Yue Lin's sleeve with both hands.

"You're not going to leave me, are you?"

"It hurts!" A terrible red mark fell on his wrist, and when he heard the young man's voice, Wu Chen let go of his hand meaningfully.

Yue Lin hurriedly blew twice, glared at the man, tapped the man's head with his hand and said, "What are you thinking!" It hurts to death. ”

"Will you leave me?"

The deep light in the man's eyes shone directly into the heart of the person, and the serious look was unquestionable.

"No, I promise!"

The man who was guaranteed carried the man in his arms and placed it on the bed.

_(:зゝ∠*)_

As soon as the sun was shining, several able-bodied Jiuli people were busy, knocking on the door of the hut where the caravan lived room by room.

"Don't go out at noon today, people from Xiangsui City will come to buy things, do you hear?"

The man was extremely short, with a large head, and his body was only as long as his first three, which looked funny, but compared to most Jiuli people, it was a lucky thing for this man to have limbs.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the group was wearing red clothes and iron helmets on their heads, and the horses were running, boom boom -

Kick up a cloud of dust.

The man at the head was a bald head, he took off the helmet on his head, wiped the sweat from his head with a handkerchief, his dark skin looked darker in the sun, his arms were full of explosive muscles, like a statue from the horse's back and kept wiping the sweat from his head.

"Damn, let me come to this ghost place again, it's all things that are not human and ghost, and it's disgusting to look at."

The man muttered a few words to himself, and ordered his subordinates to go in immediately and quickly exchange the clothes and paper with the Jiuli people, this place simply didn't want to stay for a moment, the water was placed in front of the table, but the man didn't move after looking at it in disgust, and only at the end did the man show a slight smile.

Because Jiu Li Wu gave the man a bag of knife coins alone.

"Alright, we're done, let's go first."

The bald head mounted his horse, and behind him twenty or so warriors put things on wooden carts and guarded them.

Seeing the people of Xiangsui City leaving, Jiuli Wu immediately ordered the clansmen to inform the caravans that they could come out and move around.

"My lord, Lord Ye Yan said...... said that he wanted to get some more paper, but I was afraid that the city lord would not have enough paper here. ”

The bald head frowned, looked at the little soldier and scolded: "Why didn't you kid say it earlier!" I forgot about it. ”

Paper, Ye Yan is not used to write, but to resell to others, this makes a lot of money, in Xiangsui City paper is a knife coin, other city paper is more expensive, two knife coins a piece of paper is still in short supply, but in Jiuli paper is a knife coin ten, the profit in the middle is heartwarming.

"Damn, Ye Yan is lucky, I will dedicate Mrs. Wu Xiang to the city lord, if there is no Wu Xiang to see him, he can still jump!"

The bald head patted the horse, turned his head and said, "Go back!" ”
