Chapter 39: Secrets
After tidying up, Luo Chuan saw that he couldn't see it from the outside, and strode into the house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info has a natural expression, and his gestures are also polite. "I saw the tree in your yard just now, the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, and I can't recognize my curiosity and sniff more."
Lu Lao laughed, "This flower is fragrant at night, and it is indeed intoxicating." I also found it by chance and transplanted it in the courtyard. Although the leader of the cloud fish is the same as the same interest, I can only help it. ”
"Isn't it just fragrant at night, Lao Tzu is rare!" Luo Chuan looked sorry and sat down under the guidance of Lu Lao.
The seating was not so smooth, and it was a little difficult to bend over, but fortunately there were no female dependents here, and it should be able to 'reduce the swelling' later. Luo Chuan's body was straight, and Lu Lao still felt that Luo Chuan was restrained, so he hurriedly beckoned to start.
The table was not sumptuous, it was simply a venison feast. The cutlery is a soup spoon, and the wind is ugly. "Chief, this!"
Lu Lao saw the strange appearance of the wind, and thought in his heart that they should not be able to use tableware yet. smiled, "You don't have to be restrained, just grab it with your hands." ”
Hearing this, Feng was just about to make a move, but he was frightened back by Luo Chuan's eyes. Happy fun, the culture inherited for 5,000 years can make you scum compare, and Lao Tzu will subdue you. Luo Chuan had already prepared, and took out four wooden sticks like a trick, two of which were given to the wind. Under the vigorous promotion of Luo Chuan, chopsticks are used by everyone in the tribe.
Holding the chopsticks in one hand, Luo Chuan smiled at Lu Lao and Lu Qing, and the two wooden sticks were like arms, and a piece of venison was clamped. Seeing the leader move, the wind also took chopsticks and got up.
The two of them each ate with two wooden sticks, which did not look rude at all, but more polite and elegant than their own side. Lu Lao was secretly surprised in his heart, "This tribe is really not the kind of barbarian who doesn't understand etiquette!" ”
After the meal, Luo Chuan and Lu Lao inevitably had a polite exchange, and then went back to their rooms to rest. "Chief, that venison, and that black seed, it's delicious!" The wind touched his stomach with a satisfied look.
"Don't worry, when the wheat and beans are harvested in the future, ******** will be even better than them." Although Luo Chuan still thinks that the people of his tribe are stupid, he is not happy if he is asked to change a group of people. Everything will be fine, Luo Chuan firmly believes.
The bed of the deer clan was very comfortable, but Luo Chuan, who had slept on the stone bed for a long time, did not have half a point of affection, and got up early in the morning to go out with the wind. Xiang Lu Lao was polite, and agreed with Lu Qing to compete next time. The two walked out of the deer gathering area.
The deer clan gathering area is next to the east gate of the two cities, and together with the eastern city wall, the warriors of the deer clan are mainly responsible. On average, there is a huge wooden well fence every fifty meters of the city wall. A thick beam hangs on it, and at the end of the beam is a round basket the size of a person, a bit like a catapult in ancient war films. I don't know who this catapult is guarding against, in short, there are many people next to each one who are testing and repairing, looking like a baby.
After looking at half a circle, I didn't find the existence of a bow and crossbow, which should be because this group of people has poor physical knowledge and does not understand the principle of catapult. Catapults are not as good as they imagined, you must know that the enemy will not stand in the distance like a fool and let you bang, and when you reach the city wall, the catapult is a decoration, not as good as a piece of rolling log.
The two of them couldn't stay in Ercheng if they left the Deer Clan, and Luo Chuan didn't look forward to it. strode out of the city gate, and as soon as he walked out of the city gate, some people in tattered clothes gathered in front of Luo Chuan. "Your nobleman is fine, if we don't pay the tribute, our family will be kicked out of the city. I can run errands for you, and I will also plant seedlings, as long as I survive until the day when the seedlings are mature, I can pay tribute to repay the nobles. ”
Where did Luo Chuan have the money to give in the end, he had no choice, so he used his strange force to push the crowd away, and then escaped. Avoiding the crowd, Luo Chuan's brows furrowed slightly, "What is it that makes these people so afraid to leave the city?" And these people don't look like they're not self-sufficient. ”
While thinking, I heard a shout from the front, "The stone moving team has recruited, and they must be strong!" Luo Chuan thought about it, if he wants to figure out the situation here, the best way is to integrate here first. Buying physical work, Luo Chuan is not afraid.
"Are you hiring?" Luo Chuan asked.
Several people looked at Luo Chuan and the two with disbelieving expressions. Luo Chuan and the others were wearing the linen cloth of the deer clan, and the new needlework marks were very obvious. It's hard to wear this new dress once a year, and who will wear it to move stones.
Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, Luo Chuan walked to a round stone bench, hugged him, and moved it easily. "How's that, can I come?"
Seeing that Luo Chuan didn't come to tease them, several people didn't care anymore and nodded in agreement. A few more people followed, and in the end, only two more people were recruited except for the wind, and ten people were gathered, and a few people walked to the outer wall.
The stone moving ground is within the outer wall, and people are constantly carrying stones down the hill. No wonder the people who move stones are so strong, and they have to carry dozens of catties of stones for a long time and walk nearly a mile.
"Isn't there a car?" Luo Chuan asked the man named Hebo at the head.
He Bo did not blame Luo Chuan's ignorance, and had a kind expression. "Cars are only available in the inner city, and you can rent them with black flowers, but the hearts of the people in the inner city are too dark. Generally, only when the seedlings are ripe, the leaders of each city and one tribe will use black flowers to rent in order to save manpower. I don't earn as much as I rent. ”
It seems that the exploitation of the inner city and the outer city is everywhere, so what is the reason why these people want to stay in the city after sharpening their heads?
"Uncle He, are you all in the right place?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man dressed in black leather armor, which was some kind of tree bark, but it looked very hard. He looked twice more when he saw Luo Chuan and the wind. "Wearing so well and moving stones, I'm sick!"
He Bo nodded, "How much are we moving today?" ”。
The middle-aged man took out a roll of bark and began to inquire. "Today you have to move 200 stones to have black flowers."
"Ahh Hearing this amount, everyone was surprised. Especially the two men recruited in the back have already retreated.
He Bo hurriedly said to Luo Chuan and the others, "Don't worry, if we move enough stones, we will pay you if we don't leave a single black flower!" ”
"Move enough, just kidding, who has moved enough, how much strength does it have! Maybe it's still a loss-making deal. Obviously, these people are very good at settling accounts, and the next two people scolded and left without a trace of emotion.
Hebo looked embarrassed. Each ethnic group living here must carry fifty stones every day, and if they can't move enough, they will accumulate it until the next time, and if there are black flowers, they can buy them many times, but Hebo and they have already bought too much, and now the clan can't take out even a single extra black flower.
In this way, it will only accumulate again and again, and if it is not enough to move until it reaches 200 yuan, this group will have to face the fate of being driven out of the city.
There are not many people in Hebo's ethnic group, and with the seedlings planted in the early stage, they slowly accumulate more and more. Today, it has reached the point where it is about to be driven out of the city. That's why Hebo thought of recruiting someone to help.
Seeing that Luo Chuan and the two had no intention of leaving, Hebo nodded with a little guilt, "Let's move now!" ”
He Bo thanked Luo Chuan and the others a thousand times, so that Luo Chuan finally found an opportunity to ask his inner doubts. "Hebo, everyone has hands and feet, and they won't starve to death if they go out of the city, why do everyone want to stay in the city so much?"
Hebo, along with his clansmen, was stunned for a moment, and Hebo said in surprise: "Haven't you seen it? I don't know? ”
"Uh" This question made Monk Luo Chuan Zhanger puzzled. "What have you seen? Know what? ”
Unexpectedly, this question made several people suddenly think of something frightening, and they all shivered. "Don't ask, young man, if you ask the others, they'll kick you out of town. Anyway, just stay in the city. ”
Seeing the expressions of several people who were beaten to death and didn't say anything, Luo Chuan scolded in his heart. "What the hell is good about this city? Could it be that there are ghosts eating people outside? Luo Chuan couldn't think clearly, it seemed that this secret really had to take some effort to figure it out.
