Chapter 534: A Strange Village
How far away from the original bear stronghold is completely unknowable. ∵ eight ∵ eight ∵ read ∵ books, .↗.▲o which direction, no one remembers. Anyway, they found it, and it was a lake that didn't freeze. Around the lake, there are also some plants that grow.
What's even more interesting is that there is a small village inhabited by humans on the edge of the lake. They all live in igloos, and hundreds of families live next to each other.
The arrival of Qijing and Lechen did not cause panic among the people here. They are very accustomed to the presence of outsiders. Seeing them, more than a dozen young people surrounded them, and a few old men watched from afar. They were very curious about their carriage. One of them raised his voice, looked at the front and back of the car, and immediately shouted loudly: "Hey, I'll give out ten "bobo" beasts, change your carriage ......"
Le Chen smiled and refused: "Thank you for your appreciation, it's just that we walk around in the ice source, and we all rely on it." If we lose it, we won't be able to move an inch. ”
"Well, well, you outsiders, you're always so shrewd, so what do you want in exchange?"
"We've come from afar, we're tired and want a good rest. I don't know if you have anything to introduce, as for the exchanged items, maybe wait for us to take a hot shower and eat enough to talk, what do you think? ”
Qijing was in the car, and he was surprised to see the image change greatly, and Lechen, who talked eloquently, was very novel. I really didn't expect him to have such a side.
"Well, as you wish." The man shouted, laughing, "We have an igloo here for outsiders, if you're not afraid of being frozen into popsicles, go ahead." Follow the road all the way to the last igloo. On the roof of the room, there was a red animal bone, a beautiful color. It's like blood......"
The carriage moved forward again, and soon reached the place.
Although Qijing didn't come forward, his spiritual power also swept around the neighborhood.
The people here are all tall. Both men and women have thick and long hair. They were dressed in thick animal skins, and they were dressed up like bears.
Their voices are loud and they speak like thunder. It is worth noting that they are all very good. Maybe that's why they were able to survive and settle here for a long time. It's no wonder that Lechen is so polite to them. Be willing to go against your nature and talk to them.
There are thousands of them, and the weakest children are as strong as Wen Jiuyin. There is still some truth in saying that poor mountains and bad waters produce strong people.
If they were just passing by, they wouldn't have to deal with them, but they would have to stay, because their goal was the lake that was very close to them.
The carriage rushed directly to the snow room, but Lechen crossed it directly.
It's not that he didn't find it, it's just that the outsiders here are obviously not just their husband and wife. In this igloo, there are already other residents.
Although he is also an outsider, he is now very approachable. But he had scanned it before, and there were only two rooms in it. Now it's full of people, and if they move in, they'll have to squeeze in with them.
He must not be happy about this, let alone squeezing it, even if they let the house out, where so many men have lived, it is impossible for him to let his Qijing live in it again.
So, I drove the car directly and went around to the lake again.
The people who were going to exchange things with them were still there, and when they saw the carriage, they came over again: "Hey, this guest, why are you back again?" ”
Le Chen had no choice but to say: "I have a female dependent in the car, and the house is not suitable." So, I want to set up a camp by this lake......"
The man's eyes flashed: "This distinguished guest, you can actually arrive with a female dependant safely here, you must be a strong man." Out of respect for the strong, we can give up a room in the village and lend it to you. Only the most distinguished guests were allowed to use that room. Very clean and spacious......"
Although Lechen wanted to be closer to the lake, since the other party said so, he still decided to listen to the other party. These people have been staying here, apparently not playing, but patrolling.
Probably because there are outsiders, or maybe they've been so nervous all the time, protecting the water. They won't allow them to camp by the lake.
This time, someone took them to the corresponding house. When he arrived at the place, Lechen was reluctantly satisfied, the snow house was quite clean, there was no other people's breath, and it was true that no one had lived in it for a long time.
Qijing got out of the car, and the person who led them over saw that there was really a female dependent, and the smile on his face was much more sincere.
"This gentleman and lady, you can rest here. Wait a minute, someone will bring you water and firewood. You can get a lot for a small price, but food is precious, but if you have salt, you can get a lot of it, even the most precious fish of the lake. ”
Qijing stood beside Lechen and nodded at Lechen.
Lechen immediately laughed and said, "Salt? It just so happened that we came here this time, and there were not many others, but this salt was the most. We're not going to exchange too much food, though, we want something that's unique to you here and not out there. ”
The man frowned: "I know, I'll tell the villagers." Then he said, "By the way, my name is Haru, and it was my eldest brother, Hada." If you have any questions, you can come to us. ”
"Thank you."
Lechen sent Haru away, and Qijing went into the house and cleaned the house. It's been uninhabited for a long time, but it should have been cleaned all the time. In addition to a main hall, there are two rooms in the east and west, and the room is made of kang, which is still cold.
Qijing wanted to throw the fire spirit directly into it, but after thinking about it, forget it.
Now the village looks quite mysterious and weird, and she had better be careful.
Le Chen came back, got out of the carriage, and got down with two bags. A few bags of animal skins, full of fine white salt.
put it in the main hall, and Qijing looked at it and smiled: "Tsk, this thing is here, it looks much richer than gold and silver." ”
After a while, someone brought water and firewood. The five people who delivered the water poured the big vat in the house to the brim. There is not much firewood, and that thing is very resistant to burning, so there is no need for much at all. The firewood deliverer boiled the kang for them, boiled a large pot of boiling water by the way, lit a brazier, and put three pieces of wood on the erection and placed them in the main hall, without even a trace of smoke.
Looking at the large vat full of water, Lechen sighed: "This is to remind us, don't go to the lake!" ”
Qijing soaked in hot water and leaned on the edge of the basin to listen to him.
"They're a little too nervous about the water. Either someone has tampered with it before, or there is something wrong with the water. "Although the lake is not big, it is only a small village of more than 1,000 people, and it is absolutely surplus.
"What's more, there are glaciers everywhere, and knocking is water. There must be something wrong with this kind of emphasis on the law. ”
"Let's take our time. I'm curious, since they know that there are outsiders, they should also know about the situation outside, why do they never want to leave here and go outside, a better place to live? ”
It's definitely not a good place in every way.
Normal people would never want to stay here, even if they were used to it, even if these people here were used to it. What about the adults, the old people, the women, the children?
There are no parents who don't want their children to live a better life, if they don't know the outside world, it's just that, if this is a nation, a country, there are more people who can understand. It's just such a village, just such a few people, knowing that the outside world is very beautiful, but they actually stay here so peacefully.
This phenomenon in itself is too unusual.
"Either there's something holding them back. Just like Huyan Yong'an, leaving here is death. Or, it's because of the ...... responsibility" The two looked at each other and thought of the water source at the same time.
However, there is no definite evidence, and a qiē is just their conjecture. I can only inquire slowly......
Qijing took a hot bath, but Lechen didn't. He went out for a while, a little farther, and soon carried a demonic beast corpse on his back. That's what Hada said before, the "bobo" beast. This thing is small in the Warcraft world, only half a meter tall, looks like a deer, snow-white, extremely soft fur, delicate flesh, it is said to breathe fire, its flesh is also fire-like, people who live here love this kind of Warcraft. After eating its meat, it is not afraid of the cold.
Therefore, for a while, it became the number one choice for people to hunt. As a result, the number of casualties was extremely high, and later on, it became less and less. It is also becoming more and more precious......
Ten "bobo" beasts for a carriage, if it was an ordinary carriage, Hada really didn't take advantage.
Lechen took the prey and walked from the head of the village to the village house, and many people saw it. Haru even came over to greet him: "Mr. Le is really a master, and he actually hit the "bobo" beast for the first time. No wonder you say that you don't need food at all. ”
"By the way, do you need someone to help you deal with the "bobo"? You know, although the "bobo" beast is delicious, most people don't handle it. ”
Le Chen nodded immediately: "That's great, what do I need to give?" ”
Haru's eyes were full of shrewdness: "I'll find a skilled hand, help you deal with it, and then send you the meat and skin." The rest of the blood, bones and internal organs, do you need them? ”
"No, you don't."
"Well, it's good to pay for it. You know, there are fewer and fewer "bobo" beasts now, and its blood and flesh contain heat in it. It is extremely useful for children and the elderly. The soup made from the bones can also make the newborn child much more comfortable. ”
"In that case, I'll trouble you." Lechen directly handed over the "bobo" beast.
Haru immediately took it, and then went into a house. There lived an elderly couple and a child of three or four years old. He gave "bobo" and "shoujiao" to the old man.
"Quick, deal with this, and in a quarter of an hour, I'll come and get the meat and skin, and the rest will be yours."
"Thank you, Uncle Haru." The little one jumped over and threw himself into Haru's arms. "Uncle Haru, I heard that a powerful guest has come to the village. He's coming with a beautiful lady, is it true? Is our village saved? ”
