Chapter 16: The Caravan of Moto
Under the big tree in the village chief's house, it is said that they have had dinner and gathered together to enjoy the shade under the tree, while the empty is jumping up and down on the branches, and Lei and the tired and limp bear owl lie on the hammock and rest comfortably.
"Village chief, is there a caravan passing by in this village on a regular basis?" Feng Yan looked at the old village chief.
"Caravans? There is a caravan, I heard that it is a caravan of the Motuo people, specializing in selling goods to the tree country, but only the Motuo people are willing to pass through the beast country, the Motuo people are not only rich, but also have a lot of guards in the caravan, but the other caravans would rather take a long detour than pass through the beast country, after all, there are too many bandits in the beast country, and the caravan has to take a lot of risks" The village chief sighed, as if he was lamenting the poverty of the beast country.
"What's the matter, Brother Feng, you have something to do with the caravan?"
"Oh, there's something to buy in the Tree Country, I want to follow the caravan to see it," Feng Yan replied casually.
"That little brother, you are lucky, probably in the past few days, there may be a caravan passing by, they are a large caravan composed of five small caravans, responsible for different route transactions, every time there will be a change of people, come to the village to replenish food and water, and will also trade some things with us, when the time comes, I will tell the leader of the caravan, you will be their guard, not only can they go to the tree country safely, but also that commission!" The village chief said with a smile.
"You don't have to worry if you don't have a tattoo, the Motuo people don't seem to care much about this, you can rest assured, I'm quite familiar with the team leader, and I can talk" The village commander said with a heart.
"That's good, thank you village chief" Feng Yan said with a smile, he himself knows the life advice of the Motuo people, pay attention to doing things for returns, and will not do things that are not beneficial, and are careful in their calculations, this is all because the Motuo people helped the Kuiba fight in the first battle of Kuiba, but they were defeated, and their homes and property were gone, and then they negotiated and took the benefits, and only then agreed to the tattoo system of the gods, and the Motuo people did not respect the gods very much, they paid attention to interests, and thought that everything else was false.
"Thank you, you are also a part of the village now, you teach those children, but they will have a good future, we should thank you" The village chief waved his hand, so that Feng Yan did not care.
"This is what I should do, by the way, village chief, why haven't I seen Xiong Xiao and his parents?" Feng Yan has some doubts.
"Alas, his parents are gone, and the child was only a year old at that time" The village chief's eyes suddenly darkened, and his tone was very low.
"I'm sorry, village chief, I'm sorry, I don't know, you don't..." Feng Yan didn't expect it to be like this, and he was a little caught off guard.
"It's okay, it's all over, that year, Xiong Xiao just turned one year old, and it was also a caravan to the village, they wanted to take the child to the tree country to see, and by the way, they bought something for the child, so they followed the caravan"
"It's going well, no bandits dare to hit the attention of the Motuo caravan, they are happy to come back from the tree country, but they didn't expect to meet the bandits on the way back, several big bandits joined forces and set out, the caravan suffered heavy casualties, and only a small number of people escaped back"
"However, there was no sign of them, and the people of the caravan only handed over to me a child, that is, Xiong Xiaohe, whose parents died at the hands of the bandits, leaving only my grandfather and grandson, lonely" Speaking of this, the village chief did not feel the old tears.
Feng Yan was stunned, and he didn't know what to say, he didn't expect the bandit situation in the Beast Country to be so serious, even if the Beast Country was a member of the Holy Alliance, it didn't bring actual changes and benefits to the country, and the whole country seemed to be corrupted.
"I will kill them, I will kill all the bandits, I will avenge them, I will let the beast country be free of suffering, and let the people of the beast country live the same life as the tree country, no, better than the tree country," the bear owl sat upright in the hammock, swearing with tears streaming down his face, and his eyes showed a fierce light.
"This kid is always like this, even his name is taken by himself, called 'Xiao', saying that he wants to be a more vicious general than a bandit, but how can he do it? The beast kingdom is almost gone," the village chief spoke, his tone full of loneliness, like an old tree about to wither.
"Why not, it didn't work before, but now it's okay, now that I have a brother here, I will work hard to learn the pulse technique, become very strong, go to join the army, and then become a general, destroy all the bandits, and let the people of the beast country live a good life" Xiong Xiao said resolutely.
"Okay, you have ambition, but Xiong Xiao, if you want to learn my pulse technique and become a general, you can't just rely on hard work, not only to endure hardships, but also not to be afraid of pain and death" Feng Yan looked at Xiong Xiao with a torch in his eyes.
"As long as I can learn the pulse technique, I'm not afraid of anything, I'm the bear owl, I'm the most powerful, don't try to defeat me" the bear owl yelled.
"I only look at the reality and don't listen to big words," Feng Yan said very coldly.
Xiong Xiao didn't speak again, but secretly said in his heart: I will prove it, you look at it, I will.
"Oh, don't worry, we'll help you too, we're also amazing!" flew in front of the bear owl and wanted to touch his head, but the bear owl turned his head and bypassed.
"And I'm Ray, I'm also very good" Ray is not far behind.
"Don't talk about it, just you two foodies, wash and sleep!" The seal hit.
"Ahh
"That's it, you're going to regret it, Yan, you wait," Ray yelled angrily.
......
The next day, before the sky was full, just a touch of bright white had just floated, and the mountains and forests had not yet been clear, and someone in the village got up.
"Come on, everyone, the caravan is coming, the caravan is coming..."
Soon, the village began to get busy, and the villagers ran to the entrance of the village.
Feng Yan also followed, a large caravan, estimated to have nearly a thousand people, hundreds of fish-drawn cargo cars, full of goods, the people on the car frequently waved to the villagers, like a festival.
"Hello everyone, I'm bothering you again this time," a leading middle-aged man said with a smile.
"No trouble, no trouble, we are very welcome," the village chief stepped forward to talk.
"Ahaha, village chief, you're quite tough, so spirited," the man replied with a smile.
"Haha, it's okay, it's not good to walk when you're old, this time it's going to be a bumper harvest led by President Jinhe!" The village chief celebrated.
"Then Xie Village Chief Jiyan, it's better to arrange it now, time is very precious, and it can't be wasted" Jin He opened his mouth to save time and earn more gold yuan.
"Okay, then let's start, Xiong Shi, you and everyone take the caravan to the ancestral hall, greet them well, everyone go" The village chief pointed to a villager and commanded, and the villager nodded in agreement.
"Village chief, village chief, is this to make a deal with them?" Feng Yan stepped forward and said softly.
"Yes, we exchange food and water with some supplies with them, we don't have gold dollars and silver passes, so we can only exchange things with them, but this president of Jinhe is fair, we don't lose anything, it's mutually beneficial!" The village chief explained.
"But I'm afraid you won't be able to use the Pingba Sect Pulse Technique in the ancestral hall today, they are estimated to have to leave tomorrow, Brother Feng, you understand," the village chief said apologetically.
"It's okay, don't mind, I'll take the bear owl and them to train outside the village later," Feng Yan shook his head and said.
"By the way, you come with me" The village chief took Feng Yan's hand and walked towards Chairman Jinhe.
"President Jinhe, let me introduce you to someone, come, you see, it's this little brother" The village chief pointed to the seal and said to Jinhe.
"Village Chief, is he?" Jin He looked at Feng Yan suspiciously.
"He is the pulse art teacher in our village, not long after he came, he wants to go to the Tree Country to lie down, so I want to bother President Jinhe to take him in as a guard and take him to the Tree Country, after all, it is safer to follow your Motuo Chamber of Commerce, President Jinhe, what do you think?" The village chief said cautiously, which made Feng Yan look very uncomfortable, and he wanted to open his mouth to refuse.
"Village Chief, what about his pulse technique, we don't want it if his strength is not enough, you also know that the caravan costs a lot" Jin He made a very embarrassed expression.
"Brother Feng's pulse technique is very good, he can open four veins, and his strength is very strong," the village chief hurriedly said, praising Feng Yan well.
"Four veins? Can you open four veins to be my guard? Village Chief, we know each other so well, you won't come to tease me, will you? Jin He obviously didn't believe it, and his face was a little ugly.
"It's really four veins, but Brother Feng doesn't have a tattoo, so I can only ask President Jin" The village chief hurriedly explained.
"That's the case, Wen Yao, I don't care, forget it, I don't care, the village chief will accept him for your sake, but his salary will be half lower than that of others, you know, he is not eligible" Jin He's face was still a little distrustful, after all, the four veins were already considered masters, how could they come to a small village, and Feng Yan's age was too young, it looked very ordinary, but the caravan would come to the village to replenish supplies in the future, and he still gave the village chief a face, But Feng Yan's salary was also reduced by half by him.
"It's okay to be paid, as long as Chairman Kim agrees, I'm sorry for you, Chairman Kim" The village chief nodded in thanks, and Kim Ha just nodded casually and left.
"Village Chief, thank you, I, thank you very much!" Feng Yan said apologetically, feeling very guilty and ashamed.
"Hey, I don't need you to thank me, what is this, it's okay" The village chief looked at Feng Yan with a smile and waved his hand indifferently.
"Iā" Feng Yan was about to speak, but was interrupted by a loud noise.
"Boom..."
Everyone's attention was focused, looking in the direction of the smoke rising, wondering what was going on.
"What's going on, someone is here to show me what's going on?" Jin He shouted, his tone was quick and a little frightened, afraid that something bad would happen.
"President, it's bandits, there are so many bandits, we're surrounded," one shouted in terror.
