Chapter 80: Compensating the Winter Bear
According to the custom of fighting beasts, the winner kills the big beast on the spot and eats the crowd as a token of gratitude to the people. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info This may also be the only free meat in the bazaar. This kind of thing is rare in any tribe, and everyone is naturally interested, so they are ready to step forward to help slaughter it, who would have thought that this newcomer from the River tribe would react so violently. This is confusing.
Wang Chuan is still confused. That elder Liang Su didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he didn't tell them that there was still this link in the beast fight. If he knew, he would rather camp in the field outside and wait for the beast to come. Kill the baby elephant, there is no door.
Fortunately, Wang Chuan was quite restrained, seeing that everyone was just holding a portable weapon, and only pounced on the baby elephant, and did not take the lead in activating the crossbow arrow, otherwise a bloodshed was inevitable. Seeing that this tribe had overreacted, the people over there were also stunned on the spot, not daring to move forward.
Bihu asked, "Why do you want to hurt my beasts?" ”
Bihu's question made everyone understand: they couldn't help but sneer: "You won the beast fight, which proves that you are brave, don't you regret a beast?" ”
"If there is a shortage of meat, why bother to fight beasts?"
"I'm afraid that the new tribe that has emerged out of nowhere doesn't understand our rules?"
Everyone laughed, and the tension eased a little. Bihu said: "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here." I'm waiting for the newcomers, and I don't know what it's like. This beast we call it a baby elephant, it is our domestic animal, and we treat it like a tribe, and we will not kill or hurt it. Please disperse. ”
Everyone just laughed, but they were a little unforgiving. And no one dispersed.
When everyone in the River tribe was having a headache, a loud laugh came from behind the crowd, and the winter bear, dressed in a bright bear skin, walked to the front separately from everyone, and said loudly: "There is indeed a misunderstanding in this matter. And it's all my fault. I invited the heroes of the River Tribe. I didn't tell them beforehand about fighting beasts, nor did I tell them about eating fighting beasts. This baby elephant is indeed a domestic animal that they keep in the tribe, and like a tribe, it cannot be killed. It's not as good as this, they just came today, and the domestic animals they raised are not counted as hunting, so they are not counted as participating in the fight, how about not being the winners? Everyone looks at how much face my winter bear has, and I will send a bag of salt to each tribe to show my gratitude. ”
Winter Bear clearly has a friendship with these tribes. He spoke beautifully, and everyone benefited. The crowd dispersed, scolded, walked up to the bison tied to two trunks, named it a winner, and then began to skin it alive. The process was so tragic that the baby elephant couldn't stop drilling behind Wang Chuan when he heard the sound.
Winter Bear stayed in the position of the River tribe and did not leave, and when he saw that everyone had left, he said to the tiger: "I thought you wouldn't come sooner, so I didn't talk to you about it." Before, there were some things that could not be left in the Vulcan tribe. If I hadn't heard that you had brought an elephant with me, I wouldn't have come, so I didn't delay. ”
Bihu led the tribe to thank him again and again, and he gave it up. Winter Bear looked unconcerned. I just asked what it meant to give up, and I followed along after I understood, and I was very interested. Then he watched around the baby elephant and was amazed. As if he had been friends with the River Tribe for many years, he didn't have any suspicions at all, and he didn't mention anything about the poisoning of the woman he replaced. This made Bihu's face, which was not as patient as his kung fu work, look more and more guilty.
Wang Chuan saw that Bihu couldn't cope with it, so he stepped forward and gave Winter Bear his hand, and told Winter Bear about the heroic deeds of Bihu Bark hunting mammoths and capturing these baby elephants alive. Winter Bear had contact with Wang Chuan and knew that this child was smart, but he didn't underestimate it, and listened carefully to the story told by Wang Chuan.
Wang Chuan shocked Dongxiong for a long time before he said: "After you left, I don't know why, many women in our tribe suddenly fell ill and died many people at once......
Winter Bear was already shocked by the fact that Bihu Bark had killed the mammoth, and when he heard Wang Chuan's statement that the wicked man had sued first, his eyes suddenly widened, and he almost didn't come up in one breath.
Wang Chuan continued as if nothing happened: "I don't know if this happened to the two people who exchanged it for you?" ”
Winter Bear nodded stiffly: "They also died shortly after they came out. "When he came over this time, he was already holding back his anger and was ready to ask the people of the River tribe for a satisfactory explanation. In terms of negotiation skills, he is much better than Bihu. He deliberately showed favor to the River tribe first, helping them resolve the crisis and making them feel guilty. At the same time, I don't speak first, waiting to make the atmosphere enough. When you finally open your mouth, you can naturally ask for a ruthless price.
I didn't expect to be so surprised by Wang Chuan, and in an instant, the atmosphere that had been brewing for a long time was lost, not to mention, and even the violent death of the two women became an accident. So you can only get a few tents back? Winter Bear felt angry in his heart.
Wang Chuan saw the reaction of the winter bear in his eyes, but he was still not in a hurry, and said: "Our aunt said that you must be benevolent. Originally, we couldn't let our tribe's friends suffer. But the tribe has died a lot, and now we are short of people......"
While speaking, Wang Chuan took out a bamboo tube from the sleigh pulled by the little elephant, patted the mud seal and drank it himself, then handed it to the winter bear, and motioned him to taste it. When Winter Bear heard what Wang Chuan said, he was upset, took the bamboo tube and raised his head to take a big sip, and then he was choked and almost couldn't breathe.
"What is this? What? After Winter Bear came over in one breath, he asked questions again and again. He quickly tasted a different sensation from the aftertaste in his mouth, took another sip, smashed his mouth twice, and then took a small sip in his mouth for a long time before swallowing it. His eyes slowly lit up. The appearance is a little disgusting.
Winter Bear asked, "What is this?" Are you willing to take this as compensation? As a businessman, he quickly discovered the value in this. The slightly sweet and sour and mellow flavor fusion of this liquid entrance, and the feeling of slight warmth in the body after the lower stomach, all make people have an endless aftertaste. It's even more delicious than the broth.
Wang Chuan said: "This is something that our tribe tried to make out of grain, and we call it wine." It's not impossible to exchange this kind of thing, but we don't bring much. We'd like to compensate you in another way......"
This is the wine made by the women of the tribe with the latter-day spirits. I don't know what went wrong in the process, and the taste is a little sour. However, this time Wang Chuan did not extract alcohol from it, and the taste was a little stronger. The people of the tribe like it so much, and there should be no problem in using it to fool people from other tribes. This time, they packed some in bamboo tubes, ready to exchange for something useful in this market.
Winter Bear handed the bamboo tube to the entourage behind him, asked him to hold it carefully, and then asked Wang Chuan: "What way?" He was now extremely interested in what Wang Chuan said.
Wang Chuan took a rattan basket and lifted the animal skin wrapped in it, so that the winter bear could take a look, and the winter bear's eyes couldn't be removed.
Inside was a jar one foot wide and one foot high. This is what Wang Chuan made for his mother, and it is still a better one. Signaling the winter bear not to take it out and not to make a noise, Wang Chuan said: "After you left, many of our tribesmen died violently, and now there is a shortage of manpower. Our grandmother decided to take out this only treasure and exchange it for human hands. The so-called treasure has virtue, and according to it, we are now not even short of manpower, and we are only afraid that this treasure will be a scourge sooner or later, and it is better to change it out as soon as possible. ”
Wang Chuan was reluctant to look at it, and then said: "Our strength is low, and we don't understand the rules here, we want to ask you to help us exchange this baby here." Of course, you won't be busy. If you get five, you will be given two. If you get eight, you get three. Ten for four. In this way, it is just right to make some compensation for you. What do you think? ”
Winter Bear was so satisfied with this plan that he couldn't even say it was good. He admired Wang Chuan's statement that "treasures are virtuous and virtuous". No one knew how much he had earned from changing hands to a clay pot, anyway, Wang Chuan saw a lot of new faces cringing in his entourage behind him.
Wang Chuan added: "After this treasure was exchanged, our tribe no longer had this kind of treasure. My aunt said, I still bother you not to tell the story that this thing comes from our tribe when you are trading. So as not to have trouble in the future. ”
"Okay, no problem." Winter Bear readily agreed. Then he had his attendants take off a hide and wrap the basket. Let them hold. The two talked about some follow-up things. After the matter was discussed, Winter Bear still did not rush to leave, but said, "How are you going to exchange this drink?" ”
