Chapter 215 [An Iron Pot in Exchange for a Clan]
Crossing the mountains and forests seems to be the innate ability of the Tatar tribe, Li Yun finally solved the problem of getting lost, and more than a dozen Tatar people became his best guides.
Because of a wonderful misunderstanding, the men were very kind to Li Yun, and they warmly invited Li Yun to be a guest in the tribe, and by the way, they married their beautiful crescent moon home.
All right!
The price of ten handfuls of refined salt, Li Yun had to admit it, this price was really a bit 'too high', which made him feel strange in his heart.
The men led the way, marching through the mountains and forests to the north, while Li Yun rode on horseback, and there was a proud little girl sitting on the horse.
It was a crescent moon worth ten handfuls of refined salt, and it was said that she was the most expensive girl in their Dada tribe, and the crescent moon looked very happy along the way, constantly chattering and asking Li Yun.
"Hey, you said your name is Li Yun?" This is the problem of the crescent moon.
"yes, I've answered you many times." Li Yun's face was full of helplessness.
"The most powerful Li Yun of the Han people?"
"Well, it's not necessarily the most powerful one, I have a master uncle who can fight a draw with me by relying on kung fu, and a Turkic mother who can also draw with me by relying on kung fu, and it is said that there is a very mysterious master ancestor who can beat me casually."
These words were originally sincere, but Yueya Er was very angry when she heard it, and said with annoyance: "No, you must be the most powerful Han people, our big tribe of the Tatar tribe has been to the Central Plains, and brought back a lot of legends about you, they say that you are invincible in the world, and your strength is greater than that of a blind man with ten bears......"
As he spoke, he seemed to feel that this description was not powerful enough, so he hurriedly changed his words and said: "No, it is more powerful than a hundred blind bears." ”
Li Yun couldn't cry or laugh, feeling that he was a little fan girl.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yue'er suddenly looked listless, but the little girl quickly became happy again, stared at the hammer in Li Yun's hand and asked, "Is your hammer the golden hammer of the drum urn?" ”
"yes!"
Li Yun rolled his eyes and said extremely helplessly: "You have asked this many times, and I have answered you many times." ”
However, the crescent moon seemed to have gotten the answer for the first time, and her little face showed a solemn look, and she nodded and said: "It turns out that it is really the legendary magic hammer, no wonder the uncles can't lift it at all......"
Li Yun took a deep breath and felt his brain buzzing, since he met this group of people three days ago, he could be regarded as the real power of the crescent moon, the most powerful thing about this girl is not her vigorous movements, but countless questions full of curiosity.
It's just curiosity, the key is to like to ask back and forth, a question can be asked at least ten times, and after asking it, you will fall into fantasy.
Sure enough, the crescent moon began again.
I heard this girl suddenly scream, happy and exaggerated: "Wow, after I marry you, is it the imperial concubine that you Han people say?" I heard that your Han people's houses are particularly strong, and they are made of something called bricks, so you don't lack salt when you eat, and you can lick them happily. ”
Big mouth licking?
I'm not afraid to kill you!
Li Yun's face twitched, and he secretly slandered in his heart.
He was trying to persuade the chick not to be so angry, but he suddenly felt that the atmosphere behind him was not right, he scratched his head in surprise, but saw that the crescent moon was crying.
He was still chattering just now, but this time his eyes were full of tears, Li Yun only felt that his scalp was troublesome, and he sighed helplessly: "Do you think you are selling cheaply again?" ”
"Uh-huh!"
Crescent Moon nodded vigorously, and at the same time reached out to wipe a handful of tears, crying: "I am the most beautiful huntress of the Dada tribe, but you are only willing to give my parents ten handfuls of refined salt." You are the most powerful king of the Han people, you are so rich......"
Li Yun turned his head angrily, and said with a smile: "You have always been shouting the price, and you said ten handfuls of refined salt." ”
"I didn't!"
Yue'er changed her words directly, her honest eyes turned out to be a little cunning, and said: "I'm talking about twenty handfuls of refined salt, you must have heard it wrong when you heard it." ”
"Okay! Twenty handfuls! ”
Li Yun thought she was verbose, so he answered without thinking about it.
Yue'er suddenly rejoiced, and suddenly said: "I have to give you an iron pot, otherwise I won't give you a child." ”
"Okay! An iron pot! ”
Li Yun smiled secretly in his heart, and agreed to the request.
He wasn't going to take it seriously.
However, Yue'er was extremely happy, and suddenly hugged Li Yun's waist from behind, and said in a daze: "You are so good to me, you are willing to give such an expensive gift." ”
These words made Li Yun's heart twitch, and for some reason he felt a sense of guilt.
He slowly turned his head again, looked at the crescent moon with a happy smile, and asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that I will lie?" ”
"No, men never lie!"
Yue'er was very determined, and said coquettishly: "Although I asked for a lot of gifts, you agreed without hesitation, you like me very much, you like me very much......"
Her Chinese vocabulary is still a little lacking, and after thinking about it for a long time, it seems that she can only describe it like this.
Li Yun sighed in his heart, and suddenly asked again: "Are you Dada tribe very poor?" ”
"Not poor!"
Yueya'er was a little surprised in her eyes, tilted her little head to look at Li Yun, and said proudly with a small face: "We have more than 20 men in Dada, all of whom are good at hunting fierce beasts, we also have more than 200 women, who can also shoot tigers and leopards with bows and arrows, and we also have more than 100 children, only a dozen of them starve to death every year, and the surrounding tribes are particularly envious of us, and they especially want to join Dadashen." ”
Li Yun was taken aback by these words, and subconsciously stopped the horses, and said with a stunned face: "There are more than 20 men, but there are more than 200 women? ”
"There used to be more than 500 of them, but they have suddenly decreased in the past two years, and they all blame the damn Black Water Shark, who bought our women with salt."
Yueya Er seemed to be very angry when she said this, clenched her fists and said: "My second mother, fifth mother, and eleven mothers were all bought, they loved me very much, and they were very beautiful, but the black water deer only gave twenty handfuls of refined salt, and bought three very beautiful mothers, and even the younger brothers were bought, and the ones who bought were the strongest brothers." ”
Li Yun was speechless.
Although he sympathized with Yueya'er's plight, he faintly felt a fire in his heart, and suddenly asked: "You said that there are only more than 100 children in your tribe, but more than a dozen children are starving to death every year?" ”
Yue'er looked up at him, and said proudly with a small face: "Those who starved to death were weak children, and the strong ones did not starve to death. ”
Li Yun shook his head and said, "Maybe those who starve to death are not weak, but you don't have the ability to make them strong." ”
If there is not enough food and salt, there must be some children who are getting weaker and weaker, so they become weak children in the eyes of the Tatans.
This statement was obviously heard for the first time, and the little girl was very puzzled to think hard, and then finally shook her head to say that it was wrong, and said solemnly to Li Yun: "You are wrong, we are very rich in Dada, we only starve to death a dozen children every year, and some tribes want to starve all the children to death." ”
Li Yun's face twitched, and he subconsciously said: "The child is gone, how can it continue to take root?" ”
The word broken root made Yue'er a little incomprehensible, but after Li Yun's careful explanation, she slowly understood.
If this matter is left in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, it will be a complete tragedy in the family, but after hearing it, the little girl didn't take it seriously at all, but chuckled and said: "How can a starving child break his roots?" Starve to death and continue to regenerate. We women are very powerful, we can give birth to a child in two years, such as my mother, she gave birth to fifteen children, but only the beautiful crescent moon is the strongest, so I am the only one living of fifteen children. But my father married eleven mothers, and he could have a lot of children. ”
Li Yun's scalp is numb!
This kind of human tragedy was said by a girl in a natural tone, and the people of the Yan Yan might not feel strange when they heard it, but Li Yun heard the powerless struggle from it.
Constantly starving children to death, less than one in ten who survived, this is purely a beast-like survival rule, is to watch God give luck to pass on to future generations.
He suddenly spoke in a deep voice, and asked Yueya in a serious tone, "Do you want to never starve to death in the tribe again?" ”
The crescent moon was stunned, looking at Li Yun in a daze, and after a long time passed, she slowly shook her head and said: "No, there is not enough salt, not enough food, we only have five iron pots, one of which is still broken, even if the five iron pots do not turn off the fire all day, they can only cook the food of five hundred people......"
Speaking of this, the little face gradually became proud again, and he hugged Li Yun's waist and said: "We are already very strong, we only had one broken iron pot before, but our tribe has exchanged for four brand-new iron pots through continuous efforts. We hunted, gathered herbs, and dug mountain ginseng, although many people died, but we have a pot, and in the future, the Dada tribe will be even stronger, and you are lucky to marry a wife from a powerful tribe. ”
These words are obviously the proud words of the crescent moon, but behind them are bloody sacrifices, Li Yun can fully imagine how many people the Dada tribe sacrificed for an iron pot.
Ten handfuls of refined salt can be exchanged for a beautiful girl, and five iron pots can support a medium-sized tribe, this group of tribes that grow in the mountains and forests, they can work hard for the materials of life.
In their eyes, human life is worthless.
Salt is worth more than human life.
Iron pots are worth more than salt.
If you give some more tea bricks, I'm afraid the whole tribe will go crazy for you.
Thinking of this, Li Yun was a little sad for some reason, he was also a human being, in fact, he didn't want to be too ruthless, but after listening to Yueya'er's explanation, he felt that maybe his conscription was a kindness to the people of the Spirits.
There was a loud whistle in front of him, which seemed to be issued by the dozen or so men who led the way, and the crescent moon suddenly became extremely happy, and hugged Li Yun's waist and said, "We are going home, you must not let my father down." ”
"Don't worry, I will!" Li Yun's tone was very solemn.
Yue'er raised her little head in anticipation, staring at Li Yun without blinking.
At this moment, the girl seemed happy and urgent, and said hurriedly: "There will be twenty handfuls of refined salt, right?" There's also a brand new iron pot, right? We said okay, you can't regret it temporarily, as long as you don't regret it, the crescent moon will help you have a baby every year. ”
Saying that, he was afraid that Li Yun would be worried that the child would not be able to support him, so he hurriedly added: "Crescent Moon is the most vigorous huntress of the Dada tribe, I will work hard to hunt and feed your child......"
Li Yun smiled, for some reason his tone became soft, and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't regret it, I will give your father refined salt, it will be much more than twenty handfuls of refined salt, and I will also give your father an iron pot, not as many as one bite or two." ”
He wants to recruit soldiers, and in the future, he will include the entire Yan Ya into his own country, and this group of natural warriors can die for the sake of the iron pot.
