One day, when the king of Yelang and his subordinates were inspecting the border, he pointed ahead and asked, "Which country is the largest here?" ”

In order to cater to the king's wishes, his subordinates said, "Of course, it is the biggest in the country of Yelang!" ”

As he walked, the king looked up again at the mountain ahead and asked, "Is there a higher mountain under the heavens than this mountain?" ”

The subordinates replied, "There is no higher mountain in the world than this mountain." ”

When they came to the river, the king asked, "I think this is the longest river in the world." ”

The subordinates still replied in unison, "The king is not wrong at all. ”

From then on, the ignorant king believed that Yoro was the largest country in the world.

Once, the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to Yelang, and on the way passed through Yelang's neighbor Dian Kingdom, and the Dian King asked the envoy: "Which is bigger than the Han Dynasty and my country?" ”

The envoy was shocked when he heard this, he did not expect that this small country would ignorantly think that it could be compared with the Han Dynasty.

But he didn't expect that when the envoy arrived in Yelang Kingdom, the proud and ignorant king didn't know that the country he ruled was only about the same size as a county in the Han Dynasty, so he didn't know the height of the sky and the earth and asked the envoy: "Which is bigger, the Han Dynasty or my country?" ”

Luo Yi didn't expect that he would come to Yelang Country one day, but this Yelang is not another Yelang, this is just a Yelang country that was scared and didn't dare to go out, and now calls himself the Yelang clan.

From the Han envoy Chen Li's destruction of the Yelang country, there are now thousands of years, the Leaky Lying Country, the Jumachi Country, these former Yelang subject countries, and the scum that has long disappeared has not been left, but I didn't think that there would be this royal family of the Yelang Country here.

And this Yelang royal family is still in his hometown in later generations, Luo Yi knows that Vimo, Jiaohe, Luo Jiubu, etc., thousands of years ago, it was really the territory of the Yelang country, so it is not surprising that the Yelang country was destroyed, and this Yelang royal family came here tens of thousands of miles to be savages.

The patriarch of the Yelang clan is an old man who looks to be over six years old, with a wrinkled face, gray hair and beard, of course, he is also the wise man of this clan, he has passed Yelang to his son, the clan has no surname, and now his son is Yelang, and his clansmen call him the elder.

However, Luo Yi still miscalculated, it seems that the old man of Liuxun has lived more than 30 rainy seasons, and the old man is very talkative, which may be because he has not communicated with outsiders for too long.

There are many languages of the old people's association, but it is a pity that the languages of these various ethnic groups are all a hundred years ago, with the passage of time, the various ethnic groups continue to merge, and the languages are different for a long time, Luo Yi and the others merged together, reluctantly communicating with the old people.

This Yelang clan, because of the ancestors from generation to generation, there are irresistible powerful enemies outside the mountain, they have not been outside for hundreds of years, and they do not know that the outside has long since passed the times, they are only in the Liudu Mountain and ten miles within a radius of multiplication, and the population is only less than 100 people.

This is also the advantage of the southwest Yi Zhudi, sparsely populated, dense jungle, many beasts, some people to escape the war, run into the mountains and forests, rely on hunting, picking wild fruits for a living.

Due to the harsh living environment, although the population is scarce, but all those who survive are extremely strong vitality, thinking of the people of the eighteen villages, who will become adults at the age of twelve, Luo Yi knows that these ancients cannot be said to be early adults, but the environment that exists makes them all grow up too fast, not very old, and people are not small.

This is a natural catalyst that pushes people to grow up and mature, and the result of growing too fast is that they die quickly, the environment of the eighteen villages is better, and the grandfather of the ethnic group is fifty years old, which is considered to be a high lifespan, and the patriarch of the wild man is more than thirty years old, and he looks a lot older than the patriarch's grandfather.

Meng Lu and the boys were not very surprised by the past told by the savage patriarch, this is a limitation, the frog thinks that the sky is no bigger than the mouth of the well, and the Yelang country thinks that the Yelang country is the largest in the world, mainly because they don't know the past.

The old hunter Meng Lu is an honest farmer and hunter, if it weren't for the servants being too oppressive, and the uprising of the servants led by Luo Xiong and Huang He, he might still be hunting and farming, of course, he wouldn't know how many years and how many dynasties the Han Dynasty has gone through to get to now.

Not to mention the teenagers, who are young and illiterate, how do they know that in the past, there was a great country, and just a messenger wiped out a self-righteous Yelang country.

The most surprising, of course, is Luo Yi, Huang Ling, a barely scholarly family, a later generation, both of them know some historical past, just know this, both of them feel incredible, Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Five Dynasties, etc., many dynasties, and this Yelang clan, has never been out, has not been discovered, miracle, miracle!

Huang Ling, who came back to his senses in surprise, said: Young commander, what should we do now, the iron ore has not been found yet, it has been out for six days, and I don't know the current situation of Vimo. ”

"Let's do it first, this old man, the iron mine is at the foot of the opposite mountain, the ghost knows that these Yelang clans will be on the Dadong Mountain opposite Liudu Mountain, if it weren't for them, now we all set off to go back."

The savage couldn't understand Chinese, and the two of them were also unscrupulous, and they had no scruples about speaking, Huang Ling said: "Young commander, what do you want to do." ”

"Of course, it's best to subdue for our use, anyway, they don't dare to go out now, you look at the basin under the mountain, as long as the big trees are cut down, it is a good field, and it is not a problem for three or four thousand people to cultivate, and besides, we also have to come here to mine iron ore, and we also need to move some people over."

"I'm afraid it's not easy! Now that we're on their turf, will they agree? ”

"It should be okay, they have no food, no clothes, and they are timid, it is estimated that if they didn't find out that there were few of us, they wouldn't dare to show up, this may also be the reason why no one has found them for so many years, let's go, we have been out for a long time, Lao Meng and they are worried."

The two returned to the cave, and the Yelang tribesmen, now they were no longer hostile to Luo Yi and the others, and they accepted the gifts from the guests, five machetes, a bag of tartary buckwheat noodles, and some small amount of salt.

Now the Yelang people are very grateful to these guests, they are not the enemies that the ancestors say, the patriarch says that they are friends, and the guests do not understand the words, and the Yelang people have to show their friendship and gratitude with the most beautiful smiles.

Meng Lu and the teenagers were still talking to the elders of the Yelang clan, listening to the elders of the clan giving them the past of Yelang, the history of the teenagers they didn't know, but it didn't hinder their desire to hear stories, just like the little goblins that Luo Yi told them about patrolling the mountains.

"Distinguished guest, can you give us more knives? I know it's not good to ask for things from guests like this, but the knives and arrows we left behind from our ancestors have long since been worn out, and now it is very inconvenient for children to hunt and make tools. ”

For more than a thousand years, an axe can be sharpened to ashes, not to mention a sword, looking at the old man's eager gaze, Luo Yi couldn't bear to refuse, but he also felt that this was a good time to talk to the old man.

"Elder of the Wisdom Clan, I can give you a lot of knives, and I can also give you food and sackcloth, but please allow my people to move here, although your powerful enemies outside the mountains are no longer there, but now there is chaos outside the mountains, and we are here to find a piece of land for the clan to live in."

"Guest, how many people do you have?"

"One hundred thousand"

When the old man heard it, 100,000, he was obviously startled, and his body trembled a little.

Since Yelang is now not Yelang's arrogant Yelang, but Yelang who is as timid as a mouse, Luo Yi feels that if he is scared, the effect should be better, but the old man must not go crazy, otherwise it will be a tragedy.

Looking at the old man for a long time, he didn't speak, Luo Yi said: "Wise clan elder, don't worry, I don't have the idea of robbing your territory, I will only move some important people in the clan over, up to a hundred people."

There is a lot of land under the mountain, and we will plant it together, but we can't finish planting, and my people will come here, and they will bring a lot of grain, linen, iron knives, salt, etc., and they will share a lot with you when the time comes.

We have been out for more than ten days, and the clansmen must be very worried, so we will go back tomorrow, and if we don't return, the clansmen may come to us. ”

"Yes, we are friends"

Luo Yi knew that the old man just now, it was very likely that he wanted to kill himself and others, he was really careless, and he still didn't want to do such a two-handed thing in the future, it was easy to play himself to death.

The food of the Yelang people is the same every day, meat, what they ate last night was meat, and what they ate this morning is still meat, and everyone thinks it is good to eat meat Luo Yi, but the people of the Yelang tribe prefer to eat buckwheat cakes brought by everyone.

They eat meat every day, and it was delicious last night, and the rest of the time it tastes the same, and when they are unlucky, they can't eat enough when roasted, and it's even more unpalatable when they are cooked in a stone pot.

Salt, this kind of thing, they only passed down from their ancestors, they know that it is a delicious thing that can make food, they ate it last night, some bitter wild vegetables, put a little salt, it will also become delicious.

Meng Lu and a few sturdy teenagers, carrying hoes and hammers that had just been loaded with poles, were ready to go to the foot of Liudu Mountain to prospect, from the Yelang Cave to the foot of the opposite mountain for more than six or seven miles, Luo Yi was unwilling to suffer such a crime, and the Liudu Iron Mine, in later generations, was discovered by farmers when they were plowing the land, and it should be easy to find.

Luo Yi and Huang Ling are waiting here, and the new generation of Yelang also brought a few clansmen with them, they have been here for so many years, and they don't know that there is an iron mine at the foot of the opposite mountain, if they knew, they wouldn't be able to, now the tools have to be made with stone knives.

The patriarchs of the Yelang clan also accepted Luo Yi's request, they also wanted to see the outside world, but their ancestors had passed it down from generation to generation, making them lose the courage to go out.

The day of the Yelang people is busy, most of the men hunt, and the women carry water to pick wild fruits, although the current Yelang people are timid, but they do not lack wisdom.

The Yelang people only hunted along the two mountain ranges, and drove some animals that were not dangerous to the tribe into the basin under the mountain, and only when there was no prey on the mountain, they would catch them, and the whole basin was formed, and the cage of wild beasts was raised.

"Young Commander, can they really find iron ore in Menglu?

Looking at Huang Ling, who was very suspicious, Luo Yi could only pretend to have an unfathomable expression and said, "Yes, where is where the golden qi gathers." ”

"I wish I had!"

Huang Ling obviously still has doubts, Luo Yi is capable, he thinks he is inferior, but he can find Jin Tie with just what kind of golden energy, and he still feels very unreliable.

In the evening, Meng Lu and the others came back, and saw them talking and laughing from a distance, Luo Yi's heart was also put down, it seems that this pretending to be forced was still very successful.

"Uncle Meng, how is it, is there any iron?"

Huang Ling shouted in anticipation to the crowd that came over.

"Haha, Huang boy, didn't the young commander say that there must be one? Why don't you believe it? ”

Meng Lu is obviously very happy, finding the iron mine, the eighteen villages will not be to build weapons, take the good things in the village and trade with others everywhere, usually he is serious, and he also jokes about Huang Ling.

"Young Commander, look at it, these are all dug up in the directions you said."

Menglu offered treasures, from the bamboo basket, took out a piece of dark and shiny ore, including two or three pieces of dark red, bornite, it seems that the copper ore storage is indeed not much, the two bamboo baskets brought back, there are only a dozen small pieces, the others are all black hematite.

Seeing the real thing, Huang Ling didn't have the heart to think about how the young commander did it, everyone was very happy, with these irons, the purpose of this gold-seeking trip was successfully completed.

The Yelang people are also very happy, but they are not happy because they have found iron ore, iron ore is not much harder than stone in their eyes, and Luo Yi's promise is where they are happy.

Luo Yi promised to wait for the people to come, give them a lot of swords, teach them to farm, weave clothes, let them live, a hundred times better than now, and when his power is strong, take them to see the outside world.

On the second day, Luo Yi and the others embarked on the way home, and the Yelang people did not embarrass them, perhaps the tribe of 100,000 people was frightened, or it was possible that they really wanted to see the time boundary outside.

Everyone on the way back did not know that there had been a war in Vimo, and everyone thought that Li Peng might start a war after the autumn harvest, but people's hearts are always unpredictable, and no matter how smart a person is, it is impossible to think that an idiot will do something in the next second.
