Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 298 Gambling
Smoke curled up, and from a distance, there were already six columns of smoke rising. They trekked through the woods for more than an hour before finally approaching the small tribe.
Since they were carrying backpacks and horses, and Ding Qi also wanted to know the situation of this tribe, it was not bad to have more contact, so they did not hide their whereabouts, and shouted loudly when they approached their tribe fifty meters, which was regarded as greeting the people of this tribe in advance, so as not to cause misunderstanding.
Soon, there was a cacophony of shouts and shouts, and a party of about thirty men rushed over, armed with weapons such as wooden spears, bone clubs, and stone axes, and intercepted Ding Qi and them on a path leading to their tribe.
"Who? Don't go any closer, this is the territory of the Tuvan tribe, and any closer will be seen as a violation of our tribe! ”
An obviously leader stood up to speak, not letting people approach, and then the people around him followed him, meaning to drive the more than ten people in front of him away.
Ding Qi motioned to Cangqian to contact, Cang dragged a sika deer, took two steps forward, and shouted loudly:
"Dear tribal brothers, we are from the distant Ding tribe, and when we passed by here, we saw people here, so we came here to disturb us. As you know, the night of the Great Wilderness is dangerous, and we need to be sheltered by your tribe and we will leave early tomorrow morning. ”
According to the way tribes communicate with each other, as a member of the human race, most tribes will be friendly to people from other tribes, providing each other with a place to rest at night to avoid the risks of the night. At the same time, by taking advantage of the fixed courtship dance in the evening, the guests can also bring joy to the women of the right age of their tribe, and bring fresh blood to the future of the tribe, which is what the tribes are happy to see.
However, the premise of all this is that the two sides should be friendly and able to accept each other. It's not uncommon for a tribe like this to refuse strangers, but it's understandable, because it's about the safety of the tribe, and you can't be too demanding as a guest.
"The Ding tribe? Haven't heard of it. ”
The other party's response from the leader just now.
"The tribes of the Great Wilderness are as many as the stars in the sky, and it is normal that they have not heard of it. But tribes are like brothers, like brothers and sisters, and they are always inseparable from each other. We have no ill will and we have come with gifts, which is our gratitude to your tribe for providing a place to rest. ”
The warehouse communicates according to the tradition of communication between the tribes and lifts the sika deer at his feet. The young male deer, who was nearly one and a half meters long, was lifted up by Cang's powerful arms, so that the other party could see the weight of this gift clearly, and at the same time, it was also to let the people of this strange tribe see the powerful power of Cang itself, and not have other ideas.
The opposite side quickly fell silent, and the leader could be seen talking to the people around him in a low voice, during which the leader's voice was significantly raised twice, and it seemed that the communication between the two sides had not reached an agreement.
Turning his head to look at the dozen or so people in front of him, unfamiliar costumes and faces, looking tall and strong, much stronger than himself and the people around him. They were accompanied by tall horses, which were the occasional food of the tribe in winter, but they tamed them. Moreover, there is a purring beast (lynx) in the midst of them, and a golden eagle standing on horseback, and these people are somewhat strong!
The leader observed for a while, and was still a little hesitant, he was worried that the other party might turn against the guest and bring harm to his own tribe. However, the people around him didn't think so, and kept pointing at Ding Qi and arguing with this leader, and could vaguely hear him mention the word "good person", and from time to time turned his head and smiled at the people behind Canghe, with a kind face, it seemed that he welcomed the arrival of the group of people in front of him, and expressed great interest in the gifts brought by Cang at the foot of the cang.
Soon, after the two of them bowed their heads again, the leader waved his hand, and the people he brought with him parted to the two sides, signaling to accept Ding Qi and them into the tribe. The man who had always shown good intentions took two steps and came to the front of the cang, and bowed down with his right hand clasped on his chest
:
"Welcome, my friends, welcome to the great Tuva tribe, I am the tribe's witch lightning, the one who shouted just now is the leader of our tribe, he is just not good at dealing with other people, don't mind."
This self-proclaimed lightning man is not tall, with a relatively thick figure, and the exposed calf muscles are protruding, in Ding Qi's opinion, this person should be as his name, running fast, but he has not seen it, and he is not sure, and it is possible that he has a strong jumping ability. Just like Ben, Ben's ability to run long distances and the speed of sudden bursts are strong, as we all know, the clues can be seen in his leg muscles.
However, this person gave Ding Qi a weird feeling, and it seemed that he was a little too enthusiastic, just like Sun Erniang who opened a black shop, greeting this and that, shouting and asking for warmth, and not leaving a single one.
Thinking of Sun Erniang's black shop, Ding Qi immediately had an extra heart. The eyes signaled that the warehouse should pay more attention and observe more, lest they are really a black-hearted tribe that kills people and sells goods, then the fun will be great.
The crowd walked towards the tribe under the leadership of Lightning, and the leader of the Natuwa tribe stood on the side of the road, his face tense, and he could not see the joy or sorrow, or at least he must not welcome Ding Qi and them. Seeing Cang Fu chest and make a greeting gift, the leader's face was a little pale, and he forced a smile out of his face, and said:
"Welcome to the Tuva tribe, I am the tribal leader Thunder, I offended a lot just now, please forgive me!"
After speaking, he also bent down and saluted Cang, as if he was the leader.
Cang was a little tangled, and turned his head to look at Ding Qi, but Ding Qi ignored him, looked up and looked around, pretending to be a curious baby.
Cang can't help it, knowing that this is Ding Qi to be the shopkeeper and let himself solve these problems. Then I'll have to bite the bullet and see what's going on with this tribe.
Lightning led the way, and Tinch led the way in the setting sun, observing as they went.
This tribe was surrounded by a circle of slender trees, densely packed, five or six meters high, as thick as an egg, like a thin bamboo but straighter than a bamboo, and like a needle piercing the sky, with few leaves on it, but very wide and thick like poplar leaves, covering the sky above.
Such a dense tree, which can be seen here before, is also thanks to the condescension and telescopes. If you look out or in, your view will be blocked, and large beasts above the human or wolf will not be able to enter at all, and you will not be able to get your feet unless you cut down these trees one by one. If the path in and out is blocked, outsiders or wild beasts will really not be able to enter, and it is safer. Ding Qi tried the toughness of the tree, but he couldn't break it even though he used fifty percent of his strength.
Seeing that Ding Qi was interested in these trees, Cang turned his head to Lightning and asked:
"Doctor witch, what kind of tree is this, it looks very dense, and it can also play a protective role, it's amazing!"
When Lightning saw that the guests were appreciating the trees, the enthusiasm came up again. Immediately happily answered:
"Honorable guest, this is a treasure of our tribe! We call it spear wood, which is hard and strong, uniform in thickness and can be long, and you can see that the wooden spear in the hands of our warriors is made of spear wood. It's just that this kind of wooden spear takes a lot of effort, and it takes half a day to cut it down with a stone knife, not to mention that it takes three days to make a wooden spear. But it's worth the money, the spearhead is sharp and not easy to wear, and the spear is bloody when hunting. ”
The lightning did not finish talking, and soon got to the deal, and from time to time his eyes glanced at the package on the horse's back behind him, as if he hoped to exchange some useful items.
"Don't you know, there are several tribes around here, they all like the wooden spears made by our tribe very much, after the snow melts and before the frost will be exchanged, this wooden spear can be exchanged for three deer skins, which is worth a lot! Our tribe still has some stock on hand, and if you want to exchange it, we can take it
Ten wooden spears were out. Look at the feel, the weight, the boutique! ”
Lightning took a wooden spear from a warrior next to him and handed it to Cang's hand, allowing the other party to test the quality of the spear.
Cang took it in his hand, and then handed it to Ding Qi with both hands, but he didn't let people see the respect in it.
Ding Qi entered, feeling that this wooden spear was nearly twice as heavy as an ordinary spear, heavy, and scratched the surface with his fingernails, only a very shallow mark, which could not be seen without looking carefully. Grasp the ends with both hands and bend hard, only form one-eighth of the circle, then release your hand and try the strength.
But this was in the eyes of the lightning, but he thought that Ding Qi could not continue to bend downward, rolled his eyes, laughed, and said:
"This brother is amazing, and his arm strength is amazing. But don't be reckless, this spear wood is so tough that even the first warrior of the White Bear Tribe can't bend it, but be careful of spraining your arm! ”
This lightning actually changed his previous attitude, and he looked down on Ding Qi a little, and it seemed that there was still some hint of a small hand in it. But how could this escape Ding Qi's eyes, he laughed and said like an innocent young man:
"Respected Witch, don't underestimate me! I'm the number one warrior of the tribe, so I don't believe we can try. ”
After speaking, he tried to bend the wooden spear down again, but was stopped by lightning, and he smiled at Ding Qi:
"Wait! Young people don't know the sky, so how about we make a bet? If you can break this wooden spear, I will pay you ten wooden spears. But if you keep getting it, then you'll have to pay me ten wooden spears of the same value, do you dare? ”
When Ding Qi heard this, he knew that the main drama was coming, and he dared to bet with me to see if I didn't win all your bottoms! Bah! Bottoms don't you need, and you don't have bottoms yet.
Ding Qi glanced at Lightning's grass skirt while thinking about it, and smiled slightly:
"Captain Cang, do you think you can make a bet?"
After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at the warehouse.
Cang Huiyi, but with an objection:
"This wooden spear is strong, don't be strong, you will definitely lose! If you lose, I'm not going to pay for it? ”
This sentence is really true, if he loses, he really has to take out something to pay! However, Cang said this a little bit to add fuel to the fire, belittling Ding Qi and giving the other party confidence at the same time, and besides, this was proposed by the other party, and if he didn't kill him, he would be sorry for the kindness of others!
Lightning's eyes narrowed, and he said to Ding Qi with a smile:
"Forget it, you see that your captain is afraid that you will lose!"
Lightning deliberately accentuated the word "lose", although it was a good intention, but in fact it was intended to provoke the other party's competitiveness and let him continue to compete.
"Lose? How could I possibly lose? I'm afraid you can't bear these wooden spears, right? ”
When Ding Qi heard this, he immediately raised his voice, trying to use the volume to tell others that he would not lose, which is quite in line with the young man's brave and ruthless character, and at the same time provoke the other party again.
"Hey, hey!"
The old fox was calculating the little fox, but the little fox began to calculate him.
To be honest, in the eyes of Lightning, Ding Qi's figure at this moment cannot be said to be strong, and his figure looks a little thin, giving people the impression that he has little strength. Even the first warrior of the White Bear Tribe was two laps bigger than Ding Qi, which made Lightning judge that Ding Qi could not break this wooden spear.
"Haha, how can you be reluctant?"
"Do you dare to raise the ante?"
Ding Qi gritted his teeth and asked him with wide eyes.
"Good! Then I'll add the same number of wooden spears, and you'll have to do the same!" ”
Lightning was afraid that Ding Qi would be instigated, so he quickly settled the matter.
"Haha! Lightning Doctor, you're too petty! Just took out such a little wooden spear? Do you dare to bet on half of the spear wood around here? ”
