Chapter 71: Leave Him Behind
Based on the life experience of Winter Bear, it is possible to exchange anything, just to see if you can get the corresponding thing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Winter Bear coaxed the angry Wang Chuan with a small packet of salt, and told them another story: "There is an old man in my tribe who is very wise, but he is so old that his teeth have fallen out. He couldn't bite the barbecue all year round, so we often used bamboo tubes to cook for him. But how much can a bamboo tube cook? He didn't have enough to eat every day, and he was so hungry that he was skinny. Now that the winter is cold, I am even more hungry and cold, and I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this winter. He is the guide of us who forage for food in spring and autumn, and if he dies, I don't know how many people will starve to death. If he can have such a treasure, maybe he can live a few more springs and autumns, and take our tribe to find more food. I don't dare to say that I will take love, but there are two of you, and it must be no problem to give up one. For the sake of our ancestors, everything we have here can be taken to you. ”
Although there is no such thing as filial piety in these years, there is a fashion of respecting the elderly. People in this era can live to old age, and their brains will not be too bad, plus the truth that they will live for a long time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the old man is a baby.
People have come up with such reasons, and no matter how tough they refuse, they can't say it. Bihu pretended to hesitate and asked Wang Chuan to go back and ask his mother.
Wang Chuan reluctantly ran back, came over half a day later, and said, "Mother said no, unless you ......"
Winter Bear stuffed him with another packet of salt: "Unless what?" ”
Wang Chuan said: "Unless it is exchanged for five men." ”
Five men is indeed a lot, but if you talk about business, you just have to talk about it. Wang Chuan pretended to go back and ask his mother twice, and finally insisted that the three men could not be missing.
Winter Bear said: "It's not that this treasure is not worth these people, it's just that I have to pass by a roaring nest all the way back, and it is extremely dangerous, and there are fewer people going back." I'm afraid we won't be able to bring this treasure back to the tribe. ”
Bihu pointed to the east and said with a proud face: "But where is the front?" If it's the front, you don't have to worry, a few days ago, I already led my warriors to go and kill those screams. ”
After saying that, he took off his hat and pointed to the skins on it that had not completely dried to indicate that these wolf skins were given by the wolves in front of him.
Wang Chuan finally understood why there were stories on top of each other in the Thousand and One Nights. Because there's another story to tell. When Bihu finishes telling the story of the wolf's den, the business will basically be decided. One pot and two bowls for three men.
Winter Bear picked out three of the eight men who were the youngest and weakest, on the grounds that they had not returned their children. Those who can follow the winter bear out are not too bad people, Wang Chuan couldn't help but laugh in his heart, so he didn't find fault anymore.
The three of them were still a little reluctant to stay, and after a little argument, they were knocked to the ground by Bihu with the shaft of a spear. Then he was tied with his hands and pulled back to the tribe. Before the ceremony of joining the tribe was held, these people could only be regarded as goods in exchange, and now how can they be disobedient?
I couldn't be happy in my heart, and it was getting dark, so Wang Chuan didn't plan to stay by the river. Bihu and Winter Bear seem to have endless topics to talk about, so let them talk first. I am now playing the role of a child, and if I can't help but interject on their topic, Bihu may turn his face.
Newcomers naturally have to take precautions when they pull them back, otherwise they don't know how to die if they are played inside. The three men tied them up and threw them into the wood house. Freeze for a night, just to get off the horse. When the winter bear over there is gone, it's not too late to slowly adjust.
After this transaction, everyone in the tribe was elated, and the few broken pots and bowls that were supposed to be thrown away were replaced by three strong men at this time. Who knew that the pots and bowls that you eat every day would be so valuable?
The happiest are still those unmarried women. Before, they were all staring at the strong cow that was growing. Later, Zhuang Niu actually got a carved flute from outside, which made them very dissatisfied. The tribe now lives a nourishing and warm life, and they don't want to marry anyway. Now, there are three men to choose from, and this time as long as you marry them, you don't have to marry. They thought they would be able to marry the three men that night. Hearing Wang Chuan explain that it was necessary to guard against it first, and stuffed it into the firewood room, they felt that this was purely troublesome. In order to keep them from getting cold, they also quietly stuffed hay hides into the firewood room.
Wang Chuan pretended to eat salt for a long time, his mouth was bitter, and he came back and drank a lot of water. The careful thoughts of those young girls who are pregnant with spring are ignored. Before going to bed at night, check the leather ropes of these people again, and don't loosen them. Two more people should be left for vigil at night to avoid any accidents.
Wang Chuan was thinking about a few questions. First, do you want to get all of the Winter Bear's pants or something? With the current property of the tribe, it is really not difficult to take out one or two random things and make up one or two stories to deceive them. After thinking about it for a long time, I found that except for those few people and a few tents, there seemed to be nothing available on the Winter Bear's side. The bear skin on the winter bear is oily and slippery, but now the tribe is not bad for such a skin, think about it. Winter Bear is a rare talent in this era, and if he uses it well, he may not be able to play a role under the tiger. Let's leave him with clothes to save his life.
Second, should you replace the two women in the abandoned cave? There are also two women in Winter Bear, who should have been exchanged from somewhere else, and it would be best to exchange them. It really doesn't work, and it's not bad to exchange these two women for the cowhide tents of the winter bear. With this thing in winter, as long as you don't encounter a snowstorm, you can spend the night outside. It's much less labor-intensive than digging a warm pit. And those two women stayed in the tribe, and their lives were not as good as one day, which was really unbearable.
Wang Chuan told his mother about this idea, and his mother smiled kindly and said, "Why should you be embarrassed about this matter, let Qiao ask the two of them." They should be willing to go, not to mention changing a few tents, even a few bags of salt. ”
Auntie's rare good temper surprised Wang Chuan. After a while, he asked them to come back and said that they were willing to go out, so Wang Chuan informed Bihu to negotiate with Winter Bear. This thing will not be difficult at all, and there should be no surprises. The two women sent out early, and they couldn't see or be upset.
When it got dark, Wang Chuan asked people to send a few pieces of wolf meat to Winter Bear. It is rare for guests to come over, except for Bihu who has been chatting with him, and the people of the tribe have also come over one after another to see what outsiders look like. And bring back some snippets of the stories they told. There are huge cannibal tribes along the Taijiang River in the west, and there are large tribes of thousands of people in the Taize in the north, and the leaders are accompanied by hundreds of warriors, and so on.
None of these things are known to be true or false, and the legends under the campfire are as difficult to distinguish between true and false as the drunken language of later generations. Wang Chuan just listened casually.
When Bihu came back, he brought back two useful messages.
One is that the tribe went east for two days, and there was a tribe called the Wairen clan, who had always come to worship the wolf king, and had the tradition of sacrificing wolves with infants. They are said to number seventy or eighty, but this winter it seems that there is not enough food, and now it is extremely difficult. Winter Bear exchanged a few deer for their two women.
The second is that the Vulcan tribe will hold several fairs every year, and the next exchange will be around the full moon after twenty days. Because of the natural barrier of heavy snow in winter, the people who will participate at that time will only be a few relatively large tribes around, and the things exchanged will be more advanced. Winter Bear invites Bihu to participate.
