Chapter 302 Trading Turmoil II
When the sky was dark on the island in the middle of the lake, the air was still damp with dewdrops, and the team of the Mo Tart tribe, who had been arranged to stay in the northernmost room for the night, was saying goodbye to Silverstone.
"Captain Silverstone, Brother Dameng, this time I came to the island in the middle of the lake, and there are many warriors who have not come and want to see you again. They are very impressed with your martial arts, and I hope you will be able to train them again! ”
Da Meng patted Ho Lei's shoulder and said: "Good brother, don't worry, Huxin Island and the Mo Tart tribe will be the best brothers, so as not to cause trouble, it is better for you to go on the road earlier, we will come to the future." ”
After Da Meng finished speaking, the silver stone on the side also nodded heavily to the hoarding thunder.
"Okay, we can look forward to the future."
After bidding farewell to Da Meng, the team of hoarders stepped on their horses and galloped away quickly in the direction of the grassland with carts full of wheat, sweet potato seedlings and farm tools.
Last night, Da Meng and Ho Lei revealed that the knife would make a private deal with them. There were already fifty iron knives in the leather bag containing wheat, so he avoided Zhemu this morning and chose to leave the island in the middle of the lake secretly this morning.
And Zhemu, who was still waiting to trade on the island in the middle of the lake, didn't know anything about all this.
After the sky was bright, the scorching sun over the island in the middle of the lake released ten thousand golden rays, which gave a layer of golden light to the sky above the island in the middle of the lake, and also made the already enthusiastic weather even hotter.
On the island in the middle of the lake, the gate of the commercial street is open, in order to prevent the beast from exploiting the loophole, the two entrances of the commercial street in the south and north are guarded by more than a dozen warriors with acceptable military value.
The convoy of convoys comes and goes every day, in fact, there are few beasts around the island in the middle of the lake. The warriors were reluctant to hunt the docile herbivores, and the area around the island became a playground for herbivores.
The teams that came to trade on the island came one after another, and most of the people from the north gate were large clans in groups. And most of the people from the south gate are small tribes from the south of Nanshan and further south, and it is precisely because of the small tribes in the south that the island in the middle of the lake has traded with the small tribes in the south many times, and there are many people from the small tribes who come.
Gradually, the island in the middle of the lake has unconsciously become a north-south transit hub, and it is also a clear dividing line in the southern continent.
On this day, it was finally the turn of the two men in front of Zhemu to trade goods, and the men were all ordinary animal skins, only two pairs of tusks that looked like razor-toothed tigers and African elephants were the most conspicuous.
The two men had darker faces, and at first glance they were the brownish-red color that had been sunburned for a long time. The weather is hot, and both men are wearing only simple animal skin skirts with bare upper bodies. There were also several wounds on his bare back, which could be seen as injuries sustained during hunting. The two of them had messy hair, and they looked very tight when they looked at their lives.
One of the two men was guarding him, and the other looked at the cow cub warrior cautiously and said, "Brother, how many things do you think I can exchange for these things?" ”
The other warrior in the trading room, who was on duty with the cubs, was also sympathetic to their plight, and the physician often said that if you meet a poor person, you must give them more food, so that they still have the courage and hope to live.
The warrior who was more than a cow cub called Xiao Lu, and Xiao Lu immediately picked up the words of the two and said, "Then what kind of supplies do you want to exchange?" There are wheat, white flour, sweet potato seedlings and weapons that you can pick and choose from. ”
The man looked at the row of things in front of him, licked his chapped lips and said, "My woman gave birth to a cub and has no milk. I want to change some white noodles for the two of them to eat, and I want to change a weapon to go back to hunt more, so that I can trade some supplies to improve my life. ”
Xiao Lu replied happily: "That's easy to do, I'll change you for a knife for your two pairs of animal teeth, I'll change the white noodles in a wooden basin for the animal skin, and give you ten sweet potato seedlings, just plant them outside your tribe, and you can harvest a lot before the snow season." ”
The two men glared at each other in flattery, and said in disbelief: "Little brother, what you said is true?" Can I really take so many things? ”
"Yes." Xiaolu nodded.
The two men smiled happily, smiled and quickly took the materials in Xiao Lu's hand, hugged them tightly in his arms, and hurriedly thanked Xiao Lu for fear of regret: "Thank you, little brother, thank you, little brother." ”
The two brothers are in a small tribe in the south, and this time they also heard that other tribes said that there is a material trade here, so they wanted to try their luck, but they didn't expect the people here to be so kind.
The two brothers thanked them, took their things, and turned around to leave the trading room, but they were pushed by a man behind them.
The man swayed and saw that he fell, and he was afraid that the white basin he was holding in his arms would fall to the ground, and he protected it with his two arms.
When Aoki was maintaining order on the side, he happened to see this scene, and reached out to help the man to stabilize his body, so as to avoid the danger of the basin breaking.
The brothers nodded to Aoki in gratitude and left the trading room.
After Aoki and the other two brothers walked away, they turned around slightly, and said to Xiaolu and the cow cub lightly: "Ask them which tribe they belong to, and our island in the middle of the lake refuses to trade with them." ”
The man who pushed the person just now was the person brought by Zhemu, and yesterday because Yinshi was unwilling to give them a piece of knife, their team was already angry in their hearts.
Today, when I saw two men who couldn't even support their own women and sons, they exchanged a little bit of supplies for a knife and food, and I couldn't help but hold a grudge against the people on the island in the middle of the lake. Even with a dislike look at these two men, he just stretched out his leg and kicked the man.
As soon as Aoki spoke, the man's face felt weak for a while. But thinking that they came with Zhemu, their grassland territory is the largest tribe on the grassland, so they are not afraid of the people here?
The man weighed it several times, and felt that the people in the trading room would definitely not dare to offend them, so he couldn't help but become bold again, twisting his neck and shouting, "Why don't you give us a deal?" Go and call our chief. ”
Aoki walked into the trading room, stood in front of the path, and said disdainfully to the two: "Even if we call your leader over, we still don't trade with you, don't you know what you did just now?" What's it packed in? ”
Aoki is not a fool, yesterday he was arranged by Silverstone to keep an eye on these people from the grassland.
These two troublemakers, with their eyes to see their dress, you know that they are from the grassland, Aoki's eyes have never left them, I didn't expect that this group of people is naturally savage, and they dare to do evil on the territory of the island in the middle of the lake.
The two people in the grassland territory thought that they had Zhemu's support, and shouted at the top of their throats and Aoki: "That's because he is blind, he has to hit my feet, what do you care about us?" ”
"You don't need to quibble, anyway, we won't trade with you on the island in the middle of the lake today." Aoki scolded expressionlessly, and his cold look was similar to Silverstone's iceberg face.
"You ......"
Zhemu waited for another day on the island in the middle of the lake, and during this whole day, he thought he could see Hong again, but he didn't expect to see it at all, and he couldn't help but feel impetuous.
At this time, an entourage called, and he thought that the transaction had begun, so he asked people to pull the cattle and sheep on the cart to the trading room to exchange for supplies.
The smell of feces and urine of cattle and sheep along the way, and the shouting of the crowd, made Zhemu, who was in a very bad mood, want to get angry, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the trading room, he heard the two people in line arguing with the two warriors who were in charge of trading.
Zhemu's brain was buzzing for a moment, and he almost wanted to explode, thinking that he was in the territory of the island in the middle of the lake, so he had to suppress his anger and pretend to be kind and said: "Little brother, we are just here to trade, please don't embarrass us." ”
Aoki, as Yinshi's subordinate, was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Zhemu: "In the end, I am embarrassed by the people from your grassland?" Or are you people from the steppe too bad? Other people's children save their lives, but your people want to sprinkle them for others, which can really be described as a careless disregard for people's lives! Could it be that the people of the grassland, everyone is so arrogant and domineering, and they are unreasonable? ”
Zhemu glanced at the straw bale that was dragging his feet, and his eyes were like knives. If the eyes can kill, it is estimated that the guy who stretched out his legs to fight people just now has been delayed by Zhemu Ling 10,000 times.
Seeing that there was no room for maneuver in Aoki's words, Zheki put away the smile in front of Aoki and said, "Is this a place where you can call the shots?" Do you need to find your captain? I brought five carts of cattle and sheep? You really don't need these supplies? ”
Before Aoki could answer Zhemu's words, there was a sound of inhalation from the trading crowd, five carts of live cattle and sheep, so how powerful should the tribe where this team of people and horses belong?
Aoki is young after all, and he looks much younger in front of the scheming Zhemu, thinking that he can exchange the cattle and sheep of the big five carts, and the farm in the territory can be expanded a little.
Looking at the people around him staring at Zhemu with adoring eyes, Aoki was angry in his heart, and he couldn't say why, so he had to say with a tense face: "I'll send someone to invite the captain over now......"
"Aoki, that's how I usually teach you? Don't you understand what it means to be fully responsible? For such a trivial matter, you have to call me, and then go back to receive the punishment in a moment. Silverstone's majestic voice sounded, and the crowd naturally gave way, and Silverstone walked out from behind the crowd.
Originally, Hong'er wanted to come to the commercial street with him today to relieve his boredom, but he didn't want the woman to see the man from the grassland, so he shirked a few words with a cold face and ran out by himself, this is the first time he has a cold face with a little woman since the two of them were together.
Hum...... These must be counted on Zhemu's head!
"Captain, I was wrong, I'll go back and get the punishment!" Aoki bent down and stood behind Silverstone.
Xiao Lu in the trading room saw someone in charge coming, and asked at the right time: "Captain, our deal with the grassland territory is still ......."
"Permanently refuse to trade with the people in the grassland territory, and don't feel sorry for the cattle and sheep in those carts, the cattle and sheep in our farm can't be eaten in a snow season, and don't feel sorry for the materials that are not even enough to stuff your teeth!" As soon as Silverstone's words fell, the gasps of the people lining up to trade next to him became louder.
Immediately afterward, the crowd began to whisper. One person said directly: "That's right, the island in the middle of the lake is so powerful, where is there a shortage of cattle and sheep?" ”
Another person next to him also began to echo: "There is a lot of food on the island in the middle of the lake, and there is so much food that can be exchanged every day, and there are so many prey in the account every day, and I don't care about the cattle and sheep in those carts." ”
The other person in the queue, looking down on the two people just discussed, rolled his eyes and said, "Is it only me who heard Captain Silverstone's words?" The cattle and sheep in the lake's own farm can't be eaten in a few snow seasons, and these trucks are in front of the lake's island, what is it, the small shrimp is about the same."
……
The sound of everyone's discussion reached Zhemu's ears, and he already understood that this transaction was completely ruined.
But he was so unwilling, Yinshi's words made his face even bluer, and his angry chest burned with anger, but his expression still maintained a calm appearance.
As the biggest leader of the steppe, when did he suffer such a big cold face? He felt humiliated at this moment. Therefore, Zhemu immediately turned away before his expression collapsed.
"Help me tell Hong'er, I will give her these cattle and sheep in these carts, go first today, and you don't need Captain Yinshi and Hong'er to see her off."
"Let's go."
Without waiting for Yinshi to answer, Zhemu squeezed out the word "go fast" between his teeth.
The people who belong to the grassland territory have walked all over the place, and even the fifty or sixty-meter commercial street has become much more spacious.
Only the cattle and sheep on the cart were still bleating, and Mu Mou~ was screaming......
Yinshi, with a pair of black eyes like ink, stared at the direction where Zhemu left, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, no one knew what he was thinking?
