This time, I was told that the place to pick up the courier was near the white-haired tribe on the seaside.

Ma Yi said: "The Baimao tribe is rich in sea salt, and they maintain frequent transactions with nearby cities and cities, so there should be a lot of good things in their city, so you can go shopping." ”

Speaking of which, the salt stored by the residents of the new city is also almost used, although it is possible to buy refined salt with better taste and texture directly from Hyundai, after all, it takes up too much space and is a bit wasteful.

Other cities must not be willing to accept her banknotes, Sun Xiuqing is thinking, what can I exchange with them?

Ma Yi said: "In order to guard the salt fields, the white-haired clan took away a lot of flying beasts and other tamed land beasts from our Guanlong City before. One is to protect the secret of their salt production, and then there are many birds and beasts on the seashore who sneak attack and make trouble, which makes them very headaches. Why don't we bring some more tamers? ”

Sun Xiuqing felt that there might be something better.

"How about giving them bows and arrows too?" In the past year or so, in order to deal with the large and small beasts that come to harass the inhabitants from time to time, Xincheng has made many batches of bows and arrows, and the finished products have been much better than the ones made in the smelting and casting city, with a longer range, better quality of the bow body, and lighter arrows. They even hired special personnel to set up a city defense self-defense force, trained professionally, concentrated on city defense, and also paid wages and enjoyed the same benefits as other workers.

No matter how you look at it, in this era when survival is quite difficult, the bow and arrow are still very tempting.

Ma Yi agreed without much thought. The two of them used the large cardboard box left by the courier before, loaded twenty sets of bows and arrows, and set off. On this trip, exchange these bows and arrows for some good things, and then go to pick up the express on the way, and by the way, promote the iron product business of Xincheng.

A few days later, when they arrived outside the city of the White-Haired Clan, they realized that something was wrong. They were denied entry into the city.

The guard standing at the head of the wall knew Ma Yi, but he said to her: "The patriarch has an order, suspend a qiē transaction during this time, Ma Yi please come again next time!" ”

The guard had a wound on his body, and the bloody wound on his left arm could be seen from a long distance. From the air, the city is not as prosperous as it used to be, and every household is closed, which is very abnormal.

Ma Yi couldn't help but ask, "Another group of flying beasts is attacking you?" ”

The guard replied, "It's not a herd of beasts, it's a smelting city." Their patriarch has sent men to attack the city, and our patriarch has been seriously wounded and is in danger. ”

"Smelt City, why are they attacking you?"

"Their patriarchs have always been hot for our sea salt. This time, I got a batch of very strange weapons out of nowhere, called arrows, which can attack the people inside the city from outside the city, and our people have suffered heavy casualties, thanks to a group of foreigners who came a few days ago to help repel them, we can breathe for a few days. ”

Ma Yi, who was just asking casually, glanced at Sun Xiuqing when she heard this, and thought of some not very good thoughts. Ah Qiu on the side also thought of it, and asked them quietly, saying, "What kind of arrow did he say, can't it be this......?"

Ah Qiu patted the cardboard box on the young dragon's back.

So the archery team that originally helped the city defend against flying beasts has now become a tool of the invaders? So what is she going to do now? These bows and arrows, after being restrained, still can't escape the fate of killing?

"Mayi, let's go back. We won't sell this thing. ”

Ma Yi thought so, nodded, and said, "Well, let's go." ”

The three little girls were about to leave, when suddenly a shout came from the castle tower.

"Shuqing, is it really you?"

When Sun Xiuqing heard the familiar name, she instinctively turned around, and sure enough, she saw a familiar figure. It's Ono, no, I should call him Asahi. Why is he here?

Ono did not change his true colors as a savage, and when he saw Sun Xiuqing, he got carried away, and even jumped down directly from the city tower! At such a high place, Sun Xiuqing was frightened, but he landed lightly as if he was nothing, and flew straight over.

"Ono, why are you here?"

A year has passed, Xiao Ye seems to have grown taller, and Sun Xiuqing has to tilt his head when he wants to see his eyes and speak. His eyes were no longer innocent as before, and there were many scars on his body, but what remained unchanged was that he still smiled crookedly after seeing her.

"That smelting and casting city, this year has been bullying people and attacking many small cities. This time, they set their sights on the White-Haired Clan, and our small cities in the alliance simply sent some people over to help the White-haired Clan defend against foreign enemies, and never let him succeed. ”

Sun Xiuqing lowered her head a little weakly, and Ono asked her, "What are you here for?" ”

"Originally, I wanted to come over and exchange some sea salt or something, but since something happened here, let's come back next time."

Xiao Ye said: "It's not a difficult matter, we are already very familiar with the patriarch of the white-haired clan, let me help you talk about it." But now that he's been injured and he's being treated in the city, isn't Shuqing's medical skills very good? Check it out. ”

After speaking, no matter what their expressions were, they dragged Sun Xiuqing to the city, while not forgetting to beckon Ma Yi and Ah Qiu to follow. Sun Xiuqing is a little embarrassed, what medical skills can she have? Although I have learned a lot of simple wound bandages and first aid following the video during this time, I am still far from a real doctor.

But this person, most likely injured by a bow and arrow, seems to be a little unable to shirk the responsibility.

Ono dragged her all the way into the city of the white-haired clan unimpeded.

Speaking of which, the cities of this era look very different. There was a tall wall outside the city, but inside the city were all low, random houses, and occasionally a slightly more well-off house had a low wall outside the house, which was not as high as a person's shoulder, and the situation inside the courtyard was clear at a glance. The white-haired people are a relatively wealthy ethnic group, and there are no good things in the courtyard, most of them are an old well, a few fruit trees, and all kinds of dried fish, dried meat and dried vegetables on the ground and walls.

Naturally, the patriarch's dwelling was taller than anyone else's. Not to mention the tall houses, they are also decorated with various colored curtains, and the courtyard is guarded by tall strong men. Ono pulled Sun Xiuqing and shouted all the way: "Ah Chang, guess who is coming?" ”

Ah Chang? Who's that? Sun Xiuqing's head was funny for a while, but after seeing the bearded man, she suddenly remembered, ah! I chose the name myself, which means eternal sun.

Ohno, Ah Chang. Chang, Ohno.

Sun Xiuqing smiled and looked at the man who walked out of the house, her eyes brightened. Ohno was also a little stunned when he saw her, but Ono triumphantly played for a while before he came back to his senses.

"Why are you here?"

Before Sun Xiuqing could answer, Xiao Ye helped her: "Shuqing said that he was going to trade with the white-haired clan, but when he encountered this incident, he originally planned to go back, and he was brought over by me." Ah Chang, you can talk to the patriarch of the white-haired clan and exchange some sea salt for Shuqing and them. ”

Ohno looked at the two girls behind her, and what they had brought.

"Deal? You've got a lot of good stuff, I wonder if I can see what you're going to trade with them? ”

Sun Xiuqing even wanted to block the big box with her body. What is bad to bring, bring so many bows and arrows...... How do you explain this?

Ma Yi said: "Since you are now busy defending against foreign enemies, trade this matter, let's take it slowly." Let's ...... in the future."

Xiao Ye said enthusiastically: "It's okay, we are very familiar with the white-haired clan, and this little favor can still help." Besides, we are not as poor and white as we were back then, so we can also give you some good things! ”

As he spoke, he went to the cardboard box that looked so conspicuous. Sun Xiuqing was so anxious that she went over and grabbed him, and said in a good voice: "We are really not in a hurry. Now we have built a new city not far east of Guanlong City, and we have done a lot of good things. By the way, wouldn't you and Ohno wish we could have a delicate dagger? We've made the kind we've seen in the video before! The next time you go, I'll leave a handful for each of you. ”

"Dagger?" Ono muttered this unfamiliar word, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "You mean, that?!" ”

"Yes, yes, that's it." At the beginning of Treehouse Village, the three of them watched a video of survival in the wild together, and the buddy who recorded the video used a particularly useful dagger, which made the two men very envious, and went to discuss the possibility of building an ironworks with the woman in Treehouse Village. At that time, Sun Xiuqing didn't have any idea about this matter, her intuition was impossible, but she didn't expect that a year later, this ironworks would really be built for her.

Ono couldn't help but hug her and throw her up. "Shuqing, you're really always impressive."

As soon as he made such a fuss, the young dragon behind him was a little frightened, and the cardboard box on his back slipped to the ground with a bang. In fact, these three young dragons are a bit close to adulthood, and the effect of eating those green fruits seems to be becoming less and less obvious, and they have been a little irritable recently.

The three little girls immediately wanted to go over and help them up, but Ono was faster and went over to hold the carton steady. But the grumpy young dragon scurried around and knocked the carton over again, this time, the carton broke, and its contents scattered all over the ground.

Everyone was silent when they saw what was scattered on the ground.

Ohno bent down first, picked up a well-made bow, and studied it carefully in his hand. Ono picked up an arrow and looked at it carefully.

Sun Xiuqing didn't dare to speak. If she could, she wanted to leave immediately, but apparently, except for Ono and Ono, the guards of the white-haired clan immediately stood on the alert, surrounding the three little girls in the middle, and surrounded them in groups.

"What's going on? How did you have this, can you explain that? Ohno raised his eyes and looked at Sun Xiuqing, his words were calm, there was no expected storm, but the illusion of a little smile.
