Chapter 6 Tinder
As a result, the alliance unanimously agreed to Banpo Dolphin's request, and even sent a team of 100 people to personally escort the flame, in order to find out the secrets of Banpo Dolphin and see if they could keep the secrets of making gold and glass for themselves. Even if nothing can be found, it is good to let Banpo Dolphin send a batch of "magic weapons" every year in the reputation of the alliance.
However, Banpo Dolphin has given so many heavy gifts to the Alliance, and when he goes back, he can't let his family go empty-handed! You must know that the flame is in the hands of their own people, and it will be ugly to say it only after the young wizard personally hands over the tinder to the fat witch after seeing the fat witch and handing it over to the fat witch.
So, the great wizard of the Yan clan, the elder brother of the fat witch, Ji Yang, asked the big-mouthed old black what the Banpo dolphin lacked. Lao Hei was not polite, and bluntly said that Banpo dolphins lack livestock, especially horses, food, cloth, salt, and so on. In short, what is expensive in the wasteland, they lack. So, the Yan Alliance collected all the horses and gave them to the Banpo dolphins, as well as a small amount of cloth, salt, etc. As for food, they themselves are short of it. Originally, they did not have the concept of grain storage, and the grain in their hands had been purchased by Erhugou, and the rest was only enough to be used as seeds.
Although the return gift of the Yan Alliance is also a lot of wealth in Zhongzhou, it is far from the handwriting of Banpo Dolphin. Lao Hei doesn't care much about these things on the surface, and he has a dispensable attitude, but in fact, he has long been happy in his heart.
It's true that Banpo dolphins are rich, but they have a mountain of gold, but they have nowhere to spend it! There are so few commodities they need in the wasteland. Take horses as an example, the clansmen who have practiced riding and archery understand the importance of horses, but when he left, the total number of horses in the tribe was less than ten, and they could not form a combat force at all, and in the eyes of the people of Banpo Dolphin, a war horse with a saddle was even more important than gold. Just when they were trying to find horses, in Zhongzhou, they regarded horses as not very effective beasts, and their status was far worse than that of cattle and deer.
Glancing at the herd of horses bound together by the beast slaves, Lao Hei sneered in his heart. With these well-trained horses, the combat power of Banpo Dolphin will reach a terrifying height! Glancing at Jiang Li with an impatient face again, Lao Hei sneered again and said secretly: Zhongzhou? Coalition? It's just a bunch of self-righteous fools who have never seen the world!
Jiang Li is about the same age as the big-mouthed old black, and he is also in his thirties and almost forty years old, he is very fat, has a shaved head, his beard is clean and slippery, his head is round, like an egg, and he has no characteristics, but he has a majestic momentum of a person who has been in the top position for a long time.
Jiang Li was riding on a bighorn deer, and when he was impatient with the monotonous scenery around him, he heard the sneer of the big mouth old black involuntarily, so he glanced at the old black obliquely, and asked unhappily: "Big mouth, what are you smirking at?" ”
"It's your business!" Lao Hei replied with an unhappy face.
Tang Ge said that Lao Hei was a thatched mouth, but he didn't bend to him at all. This guy doesn't seem to be able to speak without scolding, which is really incomprehensible, how did he manage not to be hacked to death by the people of Zhongzhou, and still be able to complete the mission to welcome back the holy fire.
Jiang Li said contemptuously to the big mouth: "This shabby place is so desolate, it is really not easy for you to survive!" ”
The big-mouthed old black sneered: "With the ability of the master, you can live anywhere, if you were to replace you, it is estimated that there will be no scum left who will die a long time ago." ”
Jiang Li smiled coldly and said, "Big mouth, don't look at your land now, Lao Tzu can still clean you up, do you believe it or not?" ”
The big-mouthed old black laughed, and said provocatively at Jiang Li: "Lao Tzu really doesn't believe it, you pack one up for Lao Tzu to see?" Jiang Li, didn't I say you, since you were a child, when did you ever win against me? After suffering so many losses, why don't you have a brain? ”
Jiang Li said angrily: "Wow! This is really your territory, and the flame has not yet arrived, so you dare to talk to me! I don't see you so arrogant in Zhongzhou! ”
The big-mouthed old black yin smiled predictively: "That's!" Do you think you haven't seen you for twenty years, and Lao Tzu is really afraid of you? Lao Tzu is a good man who doesn't suffer immediate losses! ”
Jiang Li was about to say something, but was interrupted by the young man in Chinese clothes next to him: "Okay!" The two uncles don't have to quarrel. The two of you are fighting, but what do the people down there look like? My father said that we are all of the same blood as the Yan Clan, and we are not separated from each other. ”
The young man who spoke was also riding a big-horned deer, twelve or thirteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a hanging gallbladder nose, and a square mouth, which was somewhat similar to the appearance of the fat witch. The young man's whole body is dressed by Banpo Dolphin: he is wearing Hanfu, wearing a crown with no childish tail, and his feet are wearing freshly baked high-waisted cloth boots with mille-feuille bottoms that even Tang Ge has never enjoyed, and two colorful glass handles are hung around his waist. The whole person is radiant, and he can be described as handsome and abnormal.
This handsome young man is the honorary leader of the Yan Alliance escort team this time: Shao Lei. Thunder is his name, and Shao represents his noble status as a young witch.
Jiang Li saw the young man reprimanding, and stopped speaking angrily. The big-mouthed old black smiled and said, "Shaolei, you don't understand this." Jiang Li's grandson was a slut when he was a child, and he had itchy skin if he didn't clean him up, but he didn't expect to see him for twenty years, and he was still the same. A few days ago in Zhongzhou, I didn't care about him, but now that I'm in my land, he still dares to blow up stabs with me, you say I can get around him? ”
When Shao Lei heard this, his face changed, and he said angrily: "Uncle Big Mouth, don't forget, the fire is still in my hands!" ”
The big-mouthed old black immediately shut up, putting on an honest and humble attitude of accepting the lesson.
Jiang Li "spitted" a mouthful of foam and scolded: "Villain! ”
Shao Lei continued seriously: "My father said that although we have not been in touch for twenty years, we are all from the same family, and we should respect and love each other. ”
The big-mouthed old black replied with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes: "Shao Lei taught a lesson!" ”
Jiang Li scolded again in a low voice: "Shameless! ”
The big-mouthed old black turned a deaf ear.
After rushing for a long time, the big-mouthed old black suddenly said loudly: "It's here!" ”
Shaolei and Jiang Li looked up and saw that there was a not too high earthen hill in front of them, and they could faintly see some artificial buildings on the earthen hill.
The two of them involuntarily let out a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts that it had finally arrived. It's not an easy errand! It took so many days just to travel, and in this era when ordinary people only live in dozens of square kilometers all their lives, being able to drive such a long trip to the deer is enough for them to brag about in the future.
Getting closer and closer to the tribe, the three of them were faintly excited. The big-mouthed old black was excited that the clansmen had been looking forward to welcoming back the holy flame and returning to the totem for twenty years, and now they were finally looking forward to this day. And his big mouth finally lived up to the expectations of his clansmen, and he traveled thousands of miles to welcome back the totem. Shao Lei was excited that Banpo Dolphin had a person he knew and stranged to, this person he had heard of since he was a child, and he didn't see each other until today. And Jiang Li, excited that he finally saw the most mysterious and topical member of the Yan clan.
Everyone hurriedly dismounted and casually cleaned up the dust all over their bodies, and when the province appeared in front of the Banpo Dolphin Clan, he was disgraced, while Shaolei changed into a wizard costume, and his face was also painted with oil paint representing the identity of the wizard.
Jiang Li originally looked down on the people of Banpo Dolphin, he felt that he was from Zhongzhou, and he had a natural sense of superiority when facing the natives of these remote areas. There are many people who have the same opinion as him, so along the way, the two teams do not get along well. But when they finally saw their relatives in remote areas such as Banpo dolphins, they found that their previous views were simply wrong to their grandmother's house.
Approaching the tribe, the atmosphere of the long-distance procession became solemn.
When the flame was greeted, all non-blood relatives in the Banpo Dolphin were ordered to stay at home and not go out, so it seems that there are not many people in the Banpo Dolphin, but the atmosphere is equally solemn.
Black, white, red totem. Men and women, young and old, all dressed in the same attire, lined up on both sides of the road, waiting eagerly, watching the slowly approaching procession.
In the team, there is the flame of the Holy Flame, which is their root and their hope.
The team escorting the sacred flame had been silent since the moment they saw the Banpo Dolphin Clan. They were also struck by the spectacular scene in front of them. These self-esteemed clansmen from Zhongzhou never thought that the totem flame, which seemed to them to be extremely ordinary, would be so important in the eyes of these distant relatives. The solemn atmosphere and eager eyes also infected them.
Moreover, they never knew that everyone wearing the same clothes had such a big impact on people's vision. In particular, the familiar totem patterns that can no longer be familiar made them fully feel the reverence of the Banpo dolphin people for the totem flame, and also gave them a new understanding of their own faith spirit: it turned out that their beliefs had never been pious enough.
The fat witch put on her wizard costume, her face was painted with oil paint, and the witch crown was neatly put on her head, and she stood in the middle of the road, trembling with excitement. Tang Ge accompanied him, and he was also painted with a big face.
The idlers and others in the procession escorting the flame have been driven away, and all that remains are blood relatives. Shaolei also took the lead, slowly walking at the front of the team, holding a bamboo tube-like pottery in his hand, and a square hole was opened on the bamboo-shaped pottery, and a jumping flame was burning in the hole, and this flame was the fire. The fire is a bonfire lit by the Suiren clan who brings people cooked food, light and warmth, and the fire is divided, which means that the branches and leaves are scattered, and with the fire, there is a living totem.
