Communication was difficult, and the group of six people came to the Pegasus tribe's residence.

Five large bags of white salt were gently lowered to the ground, and the Pegasus leader excitedly grabbed a handful of white salt from the sack, and let the white salt quickly slide down from his hand, this white salt is like snow in winter.

Lu Ran: "Honorable leader, we don't have much salt this time, if your tribe needs it, we will bring more salt next time." ”

Pegasus Leader: "Our tribe needs salt, how much salt you have, our tribe wants it, and our tribe will exchange this salt for how many cattle and horses." ”

Lu Ran didn't care about the first half of the Pegasus leader's words, over the years, the Dragon Tribe has found many salt pans where impurity salt can be mined, but with the population size of the Dragon Tribe, it is still the first salt pan to be mined for the time being, how many cattle, horses and sheep are domesticated by the Pegasus Tribe, and the white salt that the Dragon Tribe took out from the reserves can easily replace the cattle, horses and sheep of the Pegasus Tribe.

Lu Ran: "This bag of salt for five, this bag of five, five, five, three." ”

Two hundred and thirty catties of white salt, in exchange for a total of twenty-three cattle and horses.

The Pegasus leader picked up a bag of fifty catties of white salt to feel its weight, and then picked up the other four bags of white salt in turn, although he could not get a specific data, but the Pegasus leader felt that this transaction was not a loss for his tribe.

"It's exchangeable." Pegasus Shou Cheng gestured to Lu Ran, and then said to the eagle: "Eagle, you take a few people to pull some adult cows and horses." ”

After more than a quarter of an hour, the eagle and several other Pegasus tribesmen pulled dozens of adult cattle and adult horses, male and female, the number of horses accounted for more than half, and the cattle only accounted for a small half, and the weight of these cattle and horses was about 500 catties, at most no more than 600 catties, and the light ones would not be less than 400 catties.

By weight, these cattle and horses are already adults, but most of them are just one to two years old, and fortunately they all appear to be healthy and not traded for sick cattle and horses.

"Go and choose." The leader of Pegasus made a gesture for Lu Ran and Wu Kang to go over and pick the cows and horses.

A total of twenty-three cows and horses were selected, and Lu Ran and Wu Kang discussed it slightly, and finally decided to exchange it for three bulls, four cows, four stallions, and twelve mares.

The dragon tribe also has cattle, but the size of the herd is smaller, far less than the cattle herd of the Pegasus tribe, you must know that the Pegasus tribe is only a small tribe on the grassland.

The scale is small, there are always some cows, but there is not a single horse, in exchange for more horses is the most important thing for the dragon tribe, bring more horses back to the dragon tribe, and slowly expand the size of the horse herd.

Soon, twenty-three cows and horses were selected.

"These cows and horses are yours, your tribe has given so many gifts to our tribe, and our tribe has also given your tribe a gift." The Pegasus leader gestured to Lu Ran Wu Kang, and then turned to one of his clansmen and said, "Go, pull that slave over." ”

After a while, Lu Ran and Wu Kang both knew what the gift from the leader of the Pegasus to the Dragon Tribe was, it was actually a person, a man with a somewhat sloppy eyes and scars on his body, these scars were obviously added recently.

Pegasus Chief: "This man is for your tribe, and he can help you take care of the cattle and horses." ”

The leader of Pegasus obviously noticed that Lu Ran and Wu Kang were very unfamiliar with driving horses and cows, and now sent someone to help the two of them control cattle and horses, anyway, they just sent a slave.

At this time, a question arises, where did the weak Pegasus tribe get slaves.

It turned out that this slave was from another small nomadic tribe, his tribe was destroyed by a powerful tribe, and he became a slave of that powerful tribe, and then he looked for an opportunity to escape, but accidentally bumped into the Pegasus tribe and became the only slave of the Pegasus tribe.

The status of the slave is very low, not even as good as a beast, and he was scolded by the tribesmen of the Pegasus tribe at will, and it was his luck that he was not killed.

Lu Ran: "Thank you for the leader's gift, our 'Dragon Tribe' and your 'Pegasus Tribe' are good friends, whatever the Pegasus Tribe needs, our Dragon Tribe will bring over." ”

"Yes, good friend." The leader of Pegasus grinned, just using twenty-three cows and horses to exchange so much good salt from the Dragon Tribe, maybe he could get more salt in the future, and it was not bad to make such a friend, provided that this friend would not attack the Pegasus tribe, the Pegasus tribe was too weak, and he must always be careful and vigilant.

Lu Ran and the Pegasus leader agreed on a deadline, a maximum of forty days, and the fleet would come over again to bring more salt, as well as copper knives and pottery to the Pegasus tribe in exchange for the cattle and horses of the Pegasus tribe.

Driven by the eagle, the three Pegasus tribesmen and the slave, twenty-three cattle and horses were driven in the direction of the first trading fleet, and when they were less than twenty zhang away from the fleet, the four eagles said goodbye to Lu Ran Wu Kang, and before leaving, the eagle said a few words to the slave, and when he heard the eagle's words, the slave was silent.

The four eagles left, did not go far, stopped at a distance of more than thirty zhang and looked over here, and the two Pegasus tribesmen who stayed here to guard converged with the four eagles.

Lu Ran and the slave stayed where they were to guard the twenty-three cattle and horses, and Wu Kang strode in the direction of the fleet, looking for someone to come and bring the cattle and horses back to the fleet.

The twenty-three cows and horses were domesticated by the Pegasus tribe, and they honestly stayed where they were, looking for tender grass to nibble on.

Only Lu Ran and the slave remained, Lu Ran communicated with the slave, mainly Lu Ran gestured to the slave to ask, the slave did not reply at first, his eyes were numb looking at the grazing cows and horses, he was just a slave, and the task was only to take care of these cattle and horses.

It wasn't until he was impatient with Lu Ran's questioning that the slave replied a few words, and slowly expressed his name, Xiaocao.

Survive tenaciously like grass, whether it is eaten by cattle, horses and sheep, or burned by fire, Xiaocao will still survive tenaciously, although he has been numb, but he has not given up his thirst for life.

Lu Ran knows the importance of a person who knows how to take care of horses, and if 'Xiaocao' can cooperate and help the Dragon Tribe take care of these cattle and horses, maybe 'Xiaocao' will soon become his own kindred."

The communication between Lu Ran and Xiaocao did not continue, and Wu Kang ran over with a warrior from Tun, also carrying a large bundle of rope.

Ropes were wrapped around the necks of the cows and horses, and with the help of small grass, twenty-three cows and horses were driven to the bank of the river.

"Empty a boat and put all these cattle and horses into one boat." Looking at the cattle and horses on the shore, Lu Yuan gave an order.

The load of a type A ship is more than ten tons, and it is not a problem to carry 100 adults and 23 cattle and horses with an average weight of 500 catties.
