102. They don't eat people
"You... You're going to provoke those mountain barbarians? The pastor was sitting alone and praying, and when he heard Bai Yi say this, he was immediately frightened, and said in a loud voice: "Absolutely no, absolutely not, they... They are going to eat people!! ”
Before Bai Yi could speak, he heard an angry roar from the void: "Let go of your mother's fart!" ”
So Bai Yi had no choice but to appease the barbarian first, "Calm down, don't be with these uneducated generals, besides, you are yelling so loudly here, he can't hear it?" ”
And in reality, after being opened by the priest to say such a thing, the shield-wielding warrior who was silent all the way also echoed: "I don't know if they eat people or not, but they must be cruel, cruel, cruel, vicious, vicious, ferocious, and ferocious, we rush into it like this, I'm afraid..."
I said you're a guy, you haven't said ten words along the way, why do you slip away from people in the dark, and you use all the comparisons? Why don't you see that your vocabulary is so rich?
Zhang Fan, the weakest of the Zhang brothers, also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! Even if they don't eat people, those mountain barbarians are the most dangerous species in the mountains, and it's very likely that they will use our skulls to make wine glasses and pluck our skins to make tambourine, right? So I hope you see, Master? I still really want to go back to my hometown and get married..."As he spoke, he couldn't help but shrink back, as if he was afraid that a mountain barbarian would suddenly swoop out in the darkness and cut off his head.
"The day I go out, the one thing I'll do is eat this priest and peel off this guy's skin to make a tambourine! Who did our tribe recruit and provoke whom? Why is there such a big prejudice against us!! The barbarian said angrily in the void, and the other walkers hurriedly helped Bai Yi persuade him, there is no way, being hacked like this for no reason, everyone should be angry.
"Calm down... The priest looked like a monkey with a sharp beak and a yellow-skinned mouse, and the meat was certainly not tasty; This Beilu man is dry and thin, and the timbre of the drum he makes is definitely not good..."Bai Yi hurriedly continued to persuade, but when he said this, the barbarian laughed instead, and barely calmed down.
But then again, one of the important reasons for such misunderstanding and embarrassment is that the alpine barbarians are too low-key and withdrawn, basically no one has seen them outside the Io Mountains, and this is a dangerous place that is inaccessible to people, even if others are interested in exploring, most of them also enter the belly of the beast halfway, and the only steppe barbarians who have more contact with them are feuding with each other, and they always release all kinds of rumors to scandalize them, and over time, the alpine barbarians are demonized in this way.
So sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be too low-key, like now Bai Yi has to waste his tongue and explain to everyone: "You haven't been in contact with the mountain barbarians, why do you want to imagine them so terrifying?" Except that they live in a higher place, they are not much different from us, they do not eat human flesh, they do not use skulls as wine glasses, and they do not make human skin tambourine. I know the bravest of them well, and I know them better than you do, so you should trust me, not the rumors. ”
"I agree with Master Hope." The young mage Syllens was the first to speak, agreeing, "None of us have come into contact with the mountain barbarians, if they are really as terrifying as the legend says, the church should have sent the Knights of Judgment a long time ago, right?" Besides, Master Hope is solely responsible for this operation, and we will listen to him, and I am sure that he will not harm us; Even if he wants to harm us, he doesn't need such a troublesome method, and with his strength, there is no need for it. ”
Bai Yi nodded approvingly at the young mage, although he had always felt that this kid's brain was not very bright, but now it seems that the most basic thinking and analysis ability is still there, if he really wants to pit this group of guys, in this uninhabited wilderness, the means are endless, there is no need to go out of his way to toss such a trip.
Zhang Yiqi, the second Zhang of the Zhang brothers, is much more rational than Zhang San, and after listening to Xi Lunsi's words, he also nodded and said: "Since we hope that the master will lead the team, then we should trust his judgment." To be honest, I've always felt that our team is too small to move around, but with the help of the Alpine Barbarians, it's different. ”
Zhang Xiaoyang, the eldest of the Zhang brothers, finally stood on Bai Yi's side, smiled boldly, and said, "Then let's go on a trip!" It just so happens that I've only heard of the legends of the mountain barbarians, and I haven't seen them in person! It's also good to be able to see and be knowledgeable. ”
Xiao Miya and Tesgar naturally obeyed Bai Yi's words and would not object, so most of the people in the rescue team agreed with Bai Yi's plan, and the priest and Zhang San had no way to refute it.
The decision has been made, everyone immediately seized the time to rest, Bai Yi took out a palm-sized piece of incense from the storage bag and threw it into the fire to roast it, the air was suddenly filled with a faint fragrance, this kind of incense that is very common in the church has a calming effect, can help everyone relieve fatigue, by the way, it can also expel mosquitoes, so that sleep can sleep more peacefully.
Then, Bai Yi turned into Miya and Tesgar's tent again, the two little ones took off their shoes and socks, revealing two pairs of white cute little feet, sitting cross-legged on the futon and whispering, and the little Miya was still holding the hammerhead shark puppet in her arms, smiling slightly.
"Go to sleep." Bai Yi said, took out a bottle of green potion from his bosom, and sprinkled it around the bedding of the two girls, which was used to repel snakes and insects.
Xiao Miya spit out her little tongue at him playfully, took off the hood behind her back, and continued to wear the long sleeves and trousers on her body - because she was out of the house and went into the mountains, those beautiful short skirts naturally couldn't be worn, and Bai Yi naturally wrapped the two little guys tightly.
Xiao Miya obediently got into the quilt, and couldn't help but sigh: "Woo~~~ It's so soft, it's the same as at home." ”
Don't you look at how many layers of mattress are underneath? My storage bag is full of these things! Bai Yi thought silently, grabbed the quilt and wrapped Xiao Miya tightly, revealing only a small head outside, and then carefully pierced the edge of the quilt under her body, and wrapped her into the appearance of a silkworm baby.
"Be careful, don't catch a cold." Although it is still summer, the night in the mountains is not at all as hot as it should be in summer, but it is cold, and the cold wind that blows from time to time will make people feel creepy.
"Alright, good night, little Mia." Bai Yi whispered, reaching out and pinching Xiao Miya's face.
"Good night, Mr. Hope." Xiao Miya said obediently, and then gently kissed Bai Yi's fingertips.
"Woo..." Bai Yi immediately heard a small beast-like wail from his back, which sounded very unwilling, and when he looked back, he found that Tysgar had also shrunk into the quilt, grabbing the edge of the quilt with both hands, and looking at him with blank eyes.
Don't you think of yourself as an older sister? Why do you still have to learn from Xiao Mia's appearance? Bai Yi thought helplessly, turned around and tied the quilt tightly for her, wrapped it into a larger silkworm baby, and finally reached out and pinched her face, and said, "Good night, Tesgar." ”
"Good night, teacher." Desgar said, and closed her big beautiful eyes in satisfaction.
"I think after a while, they'll ask you to sleep with them." The lord said coldly in the void, as if he was disgusted by this kind of thing, but turned around and muttered in a low voice: "Damn, envy me to death... Why didn't I have a daughter in the first place? ”
Tsk, you perverted daughter control! I found out, right?! Bai Yi thought coldly in his heart, even if you get out of trouble in the future, you don't want to get close to Xiao Miya and Tisgar!
The lord seemed to be a little embarrassed because Bai Yi had discovered the secret in his heart, and hurriedly coughed a few times, and bluntly led the topic in another direction, "That... How sure are you that the mountain barbarians are taking advantage of this matter? ”
"It's not ten percent, why did I make such a trip?" Bai Yi asked angrily.
"So confident? Are you sure they're as talkative as our brutes here? The lord asked a little strangely.
"That's not the point, the focus is on the method of communicating with them, and I think as long as the values of the mountain barbarians haven't changed much over the years, there shouldn't be much of a problem." Bai Yi said confidently, and then asked the barbarian by the way: "Do you think anything will happen to your people?" ”
"We're going to change, it's just the recipes." The barbarian half-jokingly said, "Of course, no matter how it changes, it won't eat people..."
So the next day, the team continued to set off, heading towards the territory of the mountain barbarians, because they had left the main route of the other adventurers into the Hokuriku Wasteland, and the faint path that could still be seen under the feet before was also invisible, and everyone completely integrated into the mountains.
The three Zhang brothers soon showed the qualities that a professional guide should have, and saw Zhang Da walking in front with a mountain opening knife, cutting out weeds and shrubs for his companions behind him, clearing a path, while carefully identifying the animal traces on the ground, and squatting down from time to time to make a comparison with a pair of footprints.
Zhang Er squinted his eyes slightly and kept snorting, which was to identify various smells in the air; As for Zhang San, he was as nimble as a monkey to climb up and down the trees, looking at the situation in the distance.
The three of them performed their own duties and cooperated with each other tacitly, relying on their methods to avoid many troublesome beasts along the way, so although the team's travel speed was a little slower, it was more efficient.
