Chapter Seventy-Eight: Mr. Bai, Please Stay
For Baijia Village, this was a very leisurely day.
The day before, they had hunted enough food for the people of the village to eat for a long time.
Bai Gan has even taken into account the needs of the villagers of Lanjia Village.
It's just that he didn't expect that the people of Lanjia Village would also hunt enough food to eat, but this did not prevent them from spending a leisurely and relaxing day.
When Bai Gan woke up and prepared for the beautiful day, he saw the Book of Oracles glowing with golden light under the Tree of Nature.
"This is the summons of the gods?"
After experiencing many such scenes, as the holder of the Book of Oracles, Bai Gan quickly reacted that it was the gods who were calling him.
Without thinking about anything else, he flew to the bottom of the tree of nature.
On the spread out book of oracles, a line of text emerged.
But looking at this line of text, Bai Gan felt that his head was big.
"Go to Lanjia Village and learn farming skills from them?"
Bai Gan's first reaction was to turn his head and look at the black and yellow wheat field in the village.
The wheat in it was planted by them a long time ago, but because they didn't know how to cultivate it, the wheat grew very badly.
And the people of Baijia Village, who make a living from hunting, did not put too much thought into the wheat field that was planted casually.
This is even more true after the Evil Wolf Tribe has been wiped out and there are no more troubles in the hunt.
So much so that many of the ripe wheat that grows in it is not harvested, but continues to be planted in the field, waiting to rot.
In Bai Gan's view, monopolizing a hunting ground rich in resources, there is no need for Baijia Village to spend time on farming.
They only need to go on one hunt and get enough food to eat for many days.
This is more convenient than farming, I don't know how much it is convenient and trouble-free.
But this is an oracle sent down by the gods, and he doesn't know anything, and he doesn't dare to ask anything, so he can only have a headache about this matter.
At this time, the other villagers in Baijia Village also woke up one after another, except for the villagers who were responsible for the defense around the village, everyone else was wandering around idlely.
Bai Gan looked around, and he found a bleak truth.
In this huge Baijia Village, there is no one available except himself.
"Alas, I'll have to do it myself!"
Bai Gan sighed and decided to bear this tragic fate.
He hadn't forgotten what he had done when Lanjia Village had just moved here.
In order to build momentum, he offended the villagers of Lanjia Village.
This time, what awaits him will definitely not be a good thing.
Burdened with the arduous task given to him by the Lord of the Gods, Bai Gan walked in the direction of Lanjia Village.
"Isn't this Mr. Bai from Baijia Village? suddenly visited our Lanjia Village, I don't know what happened?"
The fortifications of Lanjia Village are much better than those of Baijia Village.
Before Bai Gan could get closer, a villager from Lanjia Village had already spotted him.
"I'm here this time to learn farming skills from your Lanjia Village!"
Thinking that it must be inevitable to be ridiculed, Bai Gan said stubbornly.
In his mind, the people of Lanjia Village hated him so much, but it was only because everyone lived in two places, the well water did not interfere with the river water, and they took into account their own identity, so they did not show it.
Now that I have a request for others, I can't stick a hot face if I want to.
But what he didn't expect was that when the villagers of Lanjia Village heard this, his face only showed a trace of surprise, but he didn't show more.
"Please wait a while, Mr. Bai Gan, I need to report this matter to the head of the family. ”
The man went to report it, and after a while, he came back again.
"I've been waiting for a long time, please come with me!"
Bai Gan followed him to Lanjia Village, a thatched hut that had been expanded and decorated, which seemed to be the new council hall of Lanjia Village.
Seeing the surroundings with his peripheral vision, the thatched hut that was completely different from when they were built, Bai Gan was a little surprised in his heart.
He felt that Lanjia Village was a little different from what he imagined, but he couldn't say why.
The person who came to negotiate with him was not Lan Weiwen, the head of Lanjia Village, but Lan Chuiwu, the head of the small family.
Seeing that the person who came was not Lan Weiwen, who was not familiar to him, Bai Gan looked a little unhappy.
You must know that in the process of subduing Lanjia Village before, it has always been Lan Weiwen, the master of everyone, who stood up to negotiate with him.
Bai Gan felt that he was being slighted, and at the same time, he also knew that he was afraid that he had said the wrong thing just now.
He shouldn't have directly told the ordinary villagers in the Lan family village about his intentions, but had to wait for Lan Weiwen to come out before expressing his intentions.
The people of Lanjia Village, when they encounter such a situation, may swallow their anger, but Bai Gan's thinking has not advanced from a primitive person to a civilized person, and he can't bear this kind of thing.
Moreover, even if it was because of farming, he had asked Lanjia Village, and with the current situation in the two villages, it was far from the point where he needed to keep his voice down.
"Why are you? What about the person in charge of your village? Why didn't that Lan Weiwen come out to see me?"
As the village head of Baijia Village, Bai Gan is qualified to say so.
Lan Chuiwu also seemed to know that Baijiacun could not be easily provoked, and he hurriedly explained: "Mr. Bai misunderstood, we did not mean to be negligent, but our master was a little uncomfortable because of the fatigue of the journey, so I came to discuss with Mr. Bai." ”
"Mr. Bai can rest assured, although I am the head of a small family in the Lan family's village, I also have some power to speak. ”
After listening to Lan Chuiwu's explanation, Bai Gan's complexion looked much better.
He went on to talk about the business of the trip.
"The purpose of my visit this time, I think you already know it, as a village under the protection of the gods, the gods want us to help each other.
So I hope that you Lanjia Village can teach us the skills of farming. ”
"Divine Spirit?"
Lan Chuiwu squinted, and he didn't know whether he believed Bai Gan's words, he suddenly laughed and said:
"That's nature, we two villages live on the same land, and it's right to help each other. ”
Then, his voice changed.
"It's just that knowledge is priceless, and it takes a lot of our time to pass on the skills of farming to you.
As you can see, our villagers are usually very busy, and I am afraid that they do not have the time to teach you these skills. ”
In the previous day, Baijia Village sent the entire village's combat strength to hunt for food, while the rest of the people waited idly in the village.
In Lanjia Village, even a child has a learning task that he needs to complete.
When Bai Gan heard this, he immediately became a little anxious, this was a task given to him by the gods, and he had to complete it.
If it were other forces, it would be fine, with the high force in Baijia Village, the other party could be beaten to open their mouths.
But in the face of the villagers of Lanjia Village, who are also believers in the true knowledge of the gods, they can't use force.
"Then how is this good? Learn the cultivation skills, this is what the gods have commanded, and we will never dare to disobey it!"
Bai Gan is using Qin Zhen's name to exert pressure.
Lan Chuiwu also knew that there were gods to support the people of Baijia Village, and it was impossible for him to refuse Bai Gan's request.
This is also why he was the one who came out to discuss with Bai Gan, not Lan Weiwen.
Since they can't resist the gods' commands, they can't refuse Bai Gan's request, then what they have to do is to make enough profits from it.
"The orders of the gods, our Lanjia Village are naturally willing to obey.
It's just that we don't have many people, and the people in charge of farming, they also have other things to do, such as hunting for food!"
At this point, his meaning is already very obvious.
Bai Gan listened and breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that this was the people of Lanjia Village who were asking for benefits, and since he was not insisting on refusing, then everything was still negotiable.
In other words, there is a way to complete the task given to him by the gods.
"In that case, that's easy to say!
Didn't our Baijia Village lend you a lot of food the day before yesterday?
As long as you are willing to send someone to help us learn the farming skills, then the borrowed food will not have to be returned. ”
The food of 100 people a day is not a small amount for Baijia Village.
Although he provided food to the people of Lanjia Village before, this was a request from the gods.
But since Lan Weiwen said that these foods were borrowed, Bai Gan naturally unceremoniously used these "loaned" foods as bargaining chips for negotiations.
"Hehe, Mr. Bai Gan said with a smile, this knowledge of cultivation is obtained by our ancestors with great difficulty, and it is not something that can be picked up on the ground.
In exchange for a day's worth of food, if the ancestors knew about it, they would blame us!"
The negotiation entered the stage of bargaining, and the proposal put forward by Bai Gan to exchange 100 portions of food a day for the cultivation knowledge of Lanjia Village was rejected.
"Oh, then I don't know how much food you need in Lanjia Village?"
Lan Chuiwu made a gesture.
"For ten days, we need Baijia Village to provide enough food for ten days in exchange for the knowledge of farming that our ancestors have passed down!"
As Lan Chuiwu said earlier, knowledge is priceless, and it seems like a suitable trade to exchange a hundred people's food for ten days in exchange for farming knowledge.
But this is not the case.
Because farming, it's really not a difficult thing, and the "golden seed" that Baijia Village planted casually before has not matured smoothly in the end?
They only need to try a few more times, and the people in Baijia Village can also learn, but it will take a little more time.
"To impart knowledge, you only need to send one person, and you can exchange enough food for a village to eat for ten days, which is too much!
Although with the ability of our Baijia Village warriors, it is easy to hunt for this food, but I can't agree to such a loss-making deal. ”
The two began a long negotiation tug-of-war.
Bai Gan did not agree to exchange the food for 100 people in ten days in exchange for the farming skills of Lanjia Village.
Lan Chuiwu could only loosen his mouth and lowered his requirements again and again.
But he also has a bottom line, when the amount of food used in exchange was reduced to one hundred servings in eight days, Lan Chuiwu said nothing and refused to change his words.
This time it was only Bai Gan's turn to raise his price.
"Five days' food, this is already equivalent to the amount of food that our Baijia Village warriors hunt at one time.
In exchange for a mere farming skill, we have already suffered so much food. ”
"No, the minimum of eight days of food, our ancestors also suffered a lot in order to learn these skills, and we can't easily hand over this knowledge to you. ”
All of a sudden, the negotiations reached an impasse.
Bai Gan is also a ruthless person, Xu is clear, if this task cannot be completed, the gods will punish him, no one can escape, and he will not suffer a loss.
"In five days, we in Baijia Village can only offer such a price, if it is more, then forget it.
Even if I have to accept the punishment from the gods, I will admit it in vain!"
"Eight days, no less!"
Lan Chuiwu still refused to let go.
Seeing this, the practice of doing it in vain is also simple.
He got up suddenly, and then walked out without looking back.
This crisp and neat energy, compared to the uncles and aunts in the vegetable market who turned around for bargaining, I don't know how much more refreshing.
At the negotiation table, Lan Chuiwu didn't want to let go, he could only watch Bai Gan leave.
And just then, a cry rang out.
"Mr. Bai, please stay!"
