Chapter 107: Wine Jar
The place where the people of the Tonghe clan lived in the bonfire set was first of all a fiery red forest, and in the center of the forest, the ground was smashed open to form a huge inverted cone shape, a circular abyss.
And the place where the merchant travelers of Demon Fire Town came was the edge of the circular abyss, and there was a road about fifteen meters wide from here, and the road hovered on the side of the circular abyss, and continued to circle around the side of the abyss in a spiral fashion, until it reached the bottom of the abyss.
On this circular side road, there lived the people of the Tonghe clan. Entrenched on the side of the circular abyss, they built a series of houses made of stone as the main material, and the architectural styles were strange.
There are also many red trees growing on the side of the abyss, and with these thick trees, the Tonghe clan has also built many houses on top of the trees.
The abyss is circular, only the people of the Tonghe clan live on the side, and most of the center is empty, it is a bottomless abyss, when Ye Ming looked down with curiosity, he happened to see a fiery red creature flying up from under the abyss.
"Roar!" This flying creature flew extremely fast, at first it appeared in Ye Ming's line of sight like a small red dot, but in the blink of an eye, it had already flown into the air.
"This is a kind of flying bird raised by the Tonghe family, don't look at its big size, it is very docile, when the Tonghe family needs to carry some heavier things, they rely on this kind of flying bird to transport." An An explained on the side.
Ye Ming also saw that there were two huge cargo boxes on the back of this flying bird, and the flying bird flew towards the side of the forest with the cargo boxes on its back.
"How deep is this abyss?" Ye Ming asked.
"I don't know, because I've never been to the bottom of this abyss. Not to mention us outsiders, even the ordinary clansmen of the Tonghe clan are not qualified to go to the bottom of the abyss. ”
"Most of the people live in the upper two-thirds of the abyss, and the bottom third is forbidden to enter. In the campfire market, in fact, it is the most convenient, we just need to follow this spiral road all the way down, and when we reach the twelfth circle, it is time to stop, because further down, it is not the area that we can enter. An An said.
"Twelve laps? Then this first lap is big enough. Ye Ming looked at it and estimated that the first lap of this abyss would have to be nearly 2,000 meters.
"Let's go, little lover."
"Okay."
The caravan began to circle down the side road of the abyss, the area where the Tonghe clan lived.
The people of the Tonghe clan seemed to have a kind of curiosity about the business travelers, and they cast their eyes on the business caravans as they were entrenched on the road. The caravans began to shout, and this way of doing business was very similar to that of the foot merchants, that is, they kept walking on the road, constantly shouting, and someone needed to buy something, then the caravan would stop and trade.
In the bonfire, there is no such thing as a market, the Tonghe people living here are a large collective, and the theory of buying and selling can be said to be impossible, they only do business with the merchants who come from outside, and their own people never talk about trading with each other.
Because there are elite merchants, Ye Ming doesn't have to worry about business and business, and when the merchants are talking about business with the Tonghe clan, Ye Ming stops and observes this treacherous abyss.
"Don't look at it, little lover, we have to hurry, we can only stay at the campfire until the evening, and then we have to leave here, they won't allow outsiders to spend the night here." When Ye Ming was staring at the bottom of a pitch-black abyss, An An tugged at his sleeve.
"Huh? Do you have to go at night? Ye Ming turned his head with a blank expression. He also planned to spend the night at the campfire.
"Well, you have to leave before twelve o'clock in the evening, to be exact, and besides, there is no place for outsiders to live." An An said.
"In this case, An An, I won't go with you, I have some questions that I need to understand from the people of the Tonghe clan." Ye Ming said. Ye Ming has always been concerned about the situation of exploring flowers in the waves, since he has come to the Tonghe clan, he must find a way to ask about the huge fish creature.
"Oh, then you remember to be careful and don't annoy them." An An advised.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to be kicked out." Ye Ming smiled.
The business travelers stopped and went, it was too wasteful of time to follow their words, and after saying goodbye to An An, Ye Ming began to go down the road next to the abyss alone.
Ye Ming's plan is to find a tavern or restaurant or something like that, go in and have some food and drink, and then he can ask the boss about the Tonghe family by the way.
But Ye Ming finished the first lap of the abyss, and when he got to the second circle, and then to the third circle, he didn't find a tavern or restaurant or anything like that. The further down he went, the shorter the circumference of the circle became, and by the time of the third circle, Ye Ming could already stand on the road of the third circle and see the overview of the road in the fourth circle below.
He noticed that the campfire set didn't seem to have a tavern restaurant. This is more embarrassing, An An's instructions Ye Ming took to heart, if it was very abrupt to talk to the people of the Tonghe clan, it would be a bit too blunt and unnatural, especially the Tonghe clan did not like outsiders.
Gotta figure figure it out.
The road on the side of the abyss in this circle is full of houses of the Tonghe family, it is early in the morning, and the people of the Tonghe family basically stay near the houses and work, most of them are drying some crops, and some are fiddling with some large wooden barrels, smelling the aroma of wine, it should be making wine.
There are also many craftsmen on the stone wall on the side of the abyss, and like the craftsmen of the Heavenly Trench Valley, some houses have been carved on the stone wall.
Below the outer edge of the road was the abyssal area, and Ye Ming saw that there were many fiery red trees growing from the stone walls of the abyss, and the branches of the trees had extended beyond the range of the road and stretched out above the empty abyss.
Ye Ming looked at the abyss environment of the bonfire set, and at the same time looked for an opportunity to communicate with someone from the Tonghe clan. When Ye Ming walked to the fifth circle on the side of the abyss, he saw a middle-aged man carrying a jar of wine on the side of the road, moving the wine into his house.
"Excuse me, can I buy a drink?" Ye Ming walked over.
"New to business? We don't sell wine. If you want to drink it, it depends on whether you can take it. The man glanced at Ye Ming.
"What do you mean?" Ye Ming didn't understand.
"The wine set by the bonfire, so strong that drunkards don't dare to drink more, since you want to drink, then let me see if you have the ability, hey! Another jar of wine! The man suddenly shouted out to the bottom of the abyss.
"Come on!" On the side of the road in the sixth circle below, a person responded loudly, then picked up a jar of wine and threw it directly towards Ye Ming's location!
