Chapter 262: Nanban Village
Early the next morning, Lin Ran and his soldiers were woken up by the crisp birdsong all around, Lin Ran opened his eyes and saw that it was still dark all around, but it was actually more than nine o'clock in the morning - in the primeval forest, the trees were tall and dense, and the canopy of these trees almost blocked the entire sky above people's heads, and in a day, only for a few hours at noon, the people under the canopy could see a little sunlight in front of them.

Lin Ran, his Tiger Cavalry and the players packed up their things, extinguished the embers of the bonfire, and were about to leave when several players on duty on the outskirts of the camp suddenly ran back and reported: "Little White Boss, there is a team of centaurs approaching our camp. “
"Who?" Lin Ran was surprised, in this primeval forest of Huangman, even if it was a Nanban soldier, it was impossible to come here?
"I don't know, these people are all dressed in animal skins, all men, and the weapons in their hands are also very rudimentary, all of them are some simple forged rough iron tools."
In a hurry, these players only got this simple information.
"Little White Boss, are we going to stop them from approaching?" One player asked.
"No need." Lin Ran looked in the direction where several people came back and said, "They have already come." “
The bushes around the camp were torn apart by arms, and many men in rudimentary animal skins poured into Lin Ran's small camp. These people are very casual and casual, and there is no discipline at all when they act, Lin Ran observed, these people should not be Nanban soldiers, they look like they are just hunters in the ordinary Nanban forest.
There were about sixty people in this group, a little less than Lin Ran's men, but they didn't seem to care very much about Lin Ran and the others on the side, a few people stepped forward, walked into the camp, and directly moved away the remaining game that Lin Ran and the others didn't eat last night.
"What are you doing!" The players around Lin Ran wanted to scold them, but Lin Ran stopped them.
"Let them take it, this is their territory, and you can't have a conflict with them over such a trivial matter.
After this group of people moved almost everything in the camp, they looked curiously at Lin Ran and the others who were standing on the side, and saw that these people's faces were very different from their own, these Southern Barbarians who lived in the forest all the year round were obviously very novel, and curiously looked at Lin Ran and the others one by one.
Being seen by others from the perspective of visiting the zoo, everyone felt very uncomfortable, and some of the irascible tiger cavalry had already put their hands on the sabers on their waists, but Lin Ran ordered that without his own orders, he was not allowed to clash with the other party, and these tiger cavalrymen had to put their hands down.
Lin Ran was not very disgusted with the behavior of these southern barbarians, just look at it, anyway, let them take a look and they won't be able to drop a piece of their own meat.
One of these barbarians had two feathers on his head, which was probably a small leader among these barbarians - feathers were a symbol of strength in many places.
When this Nanban leader saw Xue Min, he was shocked.
These people who live in the mountains and forests all year round have dark skin, whether they are men or women, and each body presents a bronze color. It was the first time he had seen someone with such fair skin.
The little Nanban little leader's eyes widened, and he pointed at Xue Min with his finger, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
"What is he talking about?" Xue Min frowned and said strangely.
Lin Ran smiled and grinned and guessed: "I don't understand, but looking at the meaning of his gesture, he probably wants to snatch you back to be Mrs. Zhai." “
Xue Min glanced at Lin Ran, but also smiled: "What's the matter? This shows that this girl is very charming, and she is one of the best beauties everywhere. “
"Boss Xiaobai, I am from YN Province and know a little local dialect." One of Lin Ran's players said at this time.
"Okay, Xiao Duan, you translate for us, what is this person talking about?" Lin Ran said.
The player named Xiao Duan listened carefully, and said with a smile: "This person was saying just now, Elder Xue Min is too white and ugly, I have never seen such a person, it must be a monster, it will bring disaster to them, everyone should not approach." “
Sure enough, after listening to the words of the Nanban leader, the others all clenched their hands and looked at Xue Min nervously.
Lin Ran laughed out loud, he didn't think that Xue Min would also be called ugly by others one day, and he was also regarded as a witch or something, so he couldn't avoid it.
Xue Min was embarrassed, she wanted to take a step forward, but the southern barbarians in front of her were so frightened that they retreated several times, and some of them held spear weapons with their hands trembling uncontrollably.
"Xue Min, don't scare them, let Xiao Duan talk to them." Lin Ran said with a smile.
Xue Min could only go to the back of the crowd with an unhappy face, very speechless.
"Little White Boss, they are hunters from a small tribe in the nearby forest, and they happened to come out to hunt and ran into us. He asked me to tell you that they were too reckless to know that these prey were us, and now they will return them to us immediately. “
Xiao Duan couldn't help but laugh when he translated here, just now these southern barbarians made it clear that they came to rob it, where would they not see that there were already people here, the other party said this, obviously afraid that Xue Min - in their eyes, the person who brought the disaster would hurt them.
Several hunters of the Nanban tribe trembled and sent the prey back to Lin Ran and the others, the little Nanban leader was relieved, and was about to leave with the people, but Lin Ran let Xiao Duan stop them.
"Wait a minute, you ask them to leave someone to show us the way, these people who live in this forest are familiar with the road conditions, and it will save us a lot of time."
After Xiao Duan conveyed Lin Ran's words, those people from the Nanban tribe looked at each other, and they didn't want to come to Lin Ran's side to be this guide, but they didn't dare to refuse, and after a long while, the little leader of the tribe came over and said something to Xiao Duan.
"Boss Xiaobai, they said that there is a Han man in their tribe, and he is also familiar with the road conditions here, so he can come and show us the way."
"That's fine, you let him lead the way."
Because of superstition, these Nanban people very respectfully welcomed Lin Ran and others into the village, which is a typical architectural style of the Nanban region, with a round house and a roof made of thick haystacks, just like a barn in the Central Plains.
However, in the center of the village, there is a high platform and small houses made of stone, and a lot of game and mountain treasures are placed on the high platform, which should be the altar of this tribe.
"Be careful, there's a dog." A dark shadow burst out of the room and pounced on Xue Min, who was walking at the edge of the line. Lin Ran hurriedly pulled Xue Min to his side, Xue Min looked down and was surprised.
"It's not a dog."
Lin Ran looked down and saw that it was really not a dog, it turned out to be a leopard.
This leopard has a money-like pattern all over its body, grinning teeth, fierce and ambitious.
But fortunately, at this moment, the leopard's neck is firmly tied to the pillar on the side with a big iron chain, and the leopard only took a few steps towards Lin Ran's side, but it couldn't pounce and hurt people. (To be continued.) )
