Chapter 218: Barbatto Village
"Go down." Valencia's expression was not pleasant, she felt sorry for the warrior, and she went around the grassland almost five times before she completely got rid of those pesky Udi crows, and she was so tired that she was about to foam at the mouth, just to save a teenager who wanted to beat him as soon as he spoke.
"Oh." Tang Ling held the bird's nest and directly turned over and dismounted.
Valencia listened to the warrior's panting, and quickly jumped off the horse, she stroked the warrior's neck without looking at Tang Ling.
But Tang Ling didn't mind this kind of thing, after all, this was a kind girl.
He pulled open his backpack and rummaged through it, took out a palm-sized melon seed, and handed it over: "Here, here you are." β
"What." Valencia turned her head, only to see a palm-sized melon seed lying in Tang Ling's hand.
The shell of the melon seeds is black with red stripes on it, full and round, with a luster similar to that of a stone.
"Holy Fruit? Is this the holy fruit? Valencia's eyes widened in surprise, she didn't believe it, she directly took the melon seeds of the thousand vine sunflower from Tang Ling's hand, put them to her nose and sniffed them.
It was this smell, with a strange aroma, exactly the same as the holy fruit she had seen in most of the Yavadidi places.
"Give it back to you." Valencia's eyes were full of reluctance, but the holy fruit was so precious that what she thought she was doing was not worthy of such a fruit.
"Take it." Tang Ling had an indifferent smile on his face, put his hands in his pockets, and didn't pick it up: "I said I would repay you." I couldn't find anything good, so that's it. β
"Isn't that a good thing?" Valencia was a little curious about the boy in front of her, the legend has it that the holy fruit was born in the Herloch Mountains from a man-eating plant that was no match for even the most vicious wolf king in the grasslands.
Valencia was once very curious about what kind of monster this plant would look like? It would be bigger than the largest tent in the village, but the boy said that the holy fruit it produced was just okay.
"I don't know, it's the one who picked it anyway." Tang Ling smiled innocently.
Valencia opened her mouth slightly, picked up? This kind of thing can also be picked up? This guy's luck is too good, right? But is there any other explanation than picking it up?
No, looking at his thin appearance, not to mention that compared to the hunters in the village, even the average old boy is stronger than him.
"Gone." Tang Ling patted the backpack, then picked it up, took the bird's nest in his hand, looked ahead, and decided to continue to set off.
According to the map, the village of Barbatto was not far ahead, and he wanted to inquire if there was a small black market in the village, and he urgently needed to exchange some supplies.
This scene made Valencia stunned: "You, this is leaving?" β
"Or else? I'm going to go to Barbato Village in a hurry, it's too late..."Speaking of this, Tang Ling scratched his head, and suddenly remembered something: "Do you know Barbato Village?" β
In fact, it is not surprising that Tang Ling asked, there are six safe villages scattered near this small plain, but his route will only pass through the village of Babato.
In order not to delay the time to rush to the Dark Harbor, Tang Ling did not plan to go to other villages, and this small plain was used as a common grassland for several villages, and this girl could be from another village.
After all, according to Su Xiao's notes, he had to rush to the Dark Harbor before December, that is, the month before the storm voyage began.
"Otherwise, to find zero, you'll have to wait until after July of the following year." Su Xiao's notes are recorded like this.
In short, Zero is mentioned many times, as if Zero is an unusually important figure.
However, there is no description in Su Xiao's notes about anything about Zero, and the only thing that is certain is that Zero is a man.
Thinking of this, Tang Ling was a little crazy, how could he find zero in the vast sea of people?
Tang Ling was a little distracted.
But Valencia's face showed a hint of surprise: "You're going to the village of Barbato?" You can join me. β
After saying this, Valencia was slightly shy.
Although the girls on the grassland are enthusiastic and bold, taking the initiative to invite a teenager to accompany them seems a little too unreserved.
"Okay, let's do it together." Tang Ling felt very happy, having a kind girl to lead the way, that could save him a lot of trouble.
Also because of this black girl, Tang Ling inexplicably has a good impression of Barbato Village.
In the Purple Moon Era, the chance of meeting a bad guy is slightly greater than the chance of meeting a good guy, the black girl is kind, and the people in Babato's village must not be bad.
So, Tang Ling and Valencia hit the road together and walked in the direction of Barbato Village.
Because of a melon seed with a thousand vines and sunflowers, Valencia's impression of Tang Ling has improved a lot, so it also shows the enthusiasm of the grassland people, chattering with Tang Ling all the way.
From the conversation, Valencia learns that the teenager's name is Donnie, and that he is from the other side of the Grand Canyon, in a safe village at the foot of a branch mountain range in the Herloch Mountains.
In their village, every teenager reaches the age of 15 and has a three-year adventure.
In Downey's mouth, although the people of this village are not powerful, they have a wealth of experience in surviving in the wild.
I see.
Valencia felt that she had gained a lot of knowledge, and the two slowly came to the village of Barbato while talking along the way.
The village of Barbato, under a very gentle slope directly south of the small plain of Lazier.
In the distance, you can see the huge wooden wall leaning against the low slope, forming an irregular circle that envelops the village of Babato.
"These logs are the most valuable possession of our village, and each one of them was harvested by our ancestors at the risk of going to the Herloch Mountains." Valencia is very proud of the walls of the village of Barbato.
But at the same time, she was also a little lost, why now, the people in the village have lost the courage of their ancestors, not to mention going to the Herloch Mountains to collect wood, even in the Mitos Gorge, they don't have the courage to enter.
However, take a look at these giant trees, each of which is 30 meters tall and more than 2 meters in diameter, and is densely packed together to withstand many dangers.
For example, the prairie greedy wolf, or the wandering small corpse crowd.
Tang Ling showed a slight shock, this was a necessary respect for Valencia, in fact, compared to the huge stone wall of Security Zone 17, this wooden wall was very thin.
If nothing else, it is hoped that the barrier will be hit by a small beast tide, and this wooden wall will be difficult to resist.
Here, you will feel that the living environment of the safe village is so difficult, no wonder according to the records of the data, every year there will be many safe villages disappear, and many wanderers would rather wander around than stay in one place and establish a safe village.
But at the same time, you will feel that the luck of the people of Barbato Village, a village can survive until now, it is a god-sent luck.
With a special password, Valencia led Tang Ling into the village of Barbato.
As soon as he walked through the huge wooden door, Tang Ling saw a lot of cattle and sheep, all of which were undoubtedly the most docile breeds in the Purple Moon Era.
Because the cattle and sheep are crowded behind the wooden wall, it is full of the smell of cow dung and sheep dung, and the unique smell of their bodies, which is not unusual, but somewhat pungent.
In addition to this, humans live in tents, which can be said to be defenseless tents in the Purple Moon Era.
These tents are like mushrooms scattered among the herds of cattle and sheep, and occasionally the Winsky Spotted Hound, a large dog breed that was also unusually close to humans during the Purple Moon Era, runs from herd to herd, roaring to drive some mischievous calves and lambs back to their rightful colony.
For all this, Tang Ling saw it very novelly, and it could be said that it was a completely different style from the No. 17 security zone.
However, Valencia was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Before the purple moon rises, these cattle and sheep must be driven back to the village. β
"I understand." Tang Ling smiled, stretched his waist, and took a deep breath, he actually likes to see different scenery very much.
This action inexplicably won Valencia's greater favor towards Tang Ling, after all, every year the Lazier Plain will usher in caravans.
As for the environment of the village, even if the people in the caravan tried to restrain themselves, they would occasionally show disgust.
Looking at this Donnie, I really like the appearance of Barbato Village.
"Let's go, my tent is over there, my Eminem's milk tea is very delicious, you must be able to drink a few big bowls." Valencia is very welcoming, as the Prairie people are, and the more they like you, the more they want to share all the good things with you.
"Milk tea!" Tang Ling's eyes lit up.
"Well, milk tea. Hahaha..."Valencia smiled heartily.
**
Ten minutes later, Tang Ling had already arrived at Valencia's tent.
Compared to other tents in the village, Valencia's tent is two circles larger, and it is estimated that the status of Barbato Village is higher?
Tang Ling looked at the tent of Valencia's family, but he was making calculations in his heart, after all, he wanted to inquire about the news of the black market, and the family with status in the village should know more or less.
In addition, Tang Ling felt that there was something strange about this village.
At this time, it was clear that it was dusk, and it was time to make dinner, and the cattle and sheep had already driven back to the village, but none of the tents in the village had smoke.
Do they eat raw food? This is obviously impossible! Even primitive people would make a fire and barbecue meat.
Moreover, except for cattle and sheep, there was no one else walking around in the village, and Valencia's tent was obviously in the middle of the village, Tang Ling and Valencia almost crossed the entire village, and they only met two people.
One looks like a lonely old man, sitting outside his low, pitch-black tent, and the other is a child, holding a lamb in his arms and talking to himself.
In short, there is an inexplicable atmosphere of sadness.
What's going on in this village? Tang Ling subconsciously thought so, but he didn't care too much, after all, for Barbato Village, he was just a passerby.
"Come in, I'll let Abu kill a tender sheep, and let Eji make the best ash sheep soup tonight, and catch the sheep by handβ" Valencia said happily as she drew up the curtain of the tent.
Tang Ling drooled when he heard it, but saw Valencia stunned in front of the door.
"Abu, why is he here?" Valencia's face changed, and she looked very unhappy.
And Tang Ling stood behind Valencia, and at a glance he could see that in the tent of Valencia's house, next to the brazier, there were four people sitting, two middle-aged men and women, a young man, and an old grandmother.
Don't think about it, those two people who look five points similar to Valencia must be Valencia's parents, and that grandmother should be Valencia's Eminem.
As for the young, muscular-looking man, who was supposed to be the source of Valencia's anger?
Tang Ling felt a little embarrassed, thinking that if he would leave now and go to the herd of cattle and sheep for the night? But he couldn't bear milk tea, ash sheep soup or something...
"Valencia, you're coming back late. A girl shouldn't have come back so late. The middle-aged man spoke, and at the same time saw Tang Ling behind Valencia, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise: "This little friend behind you?" β
"He's my friend." Valencia dragged Tang Ling into the house, and Tang Ling had no choice but to smile at everyone awkwardly.
But there was no doubt that Valencia's action slightly annoyed the young man, and his eyes were suddenly a little unfriendly when he looked at Tang Ling.
"Eminem, this is a very important friend of mine, you go make milk tea, okay?" Pulling Tang Ling to the brazier and letting Tang Ling sit down, Valencia began to be coquettish to the old grandmother.
"Eji, can you cook a Ash Sheep soup tonight? I want to entertain my friends, and I can't make them think that the people in Barbatto are not generous enough. Valencia rubbed the middle-aged woman's cheek again.
"Abu, can you kill a young sheep? A small one is fine. Valencia took the middle-aged man's hand again.
Valencia didn't look at the young man all the while.
But Tang Ling felt a subtle atmosphere, that is, when talking about killing sheep, the family was really a little embarrassed, and this embarrassment was not stingy, but a real sense of difficulty.
Tang Ling just wanted to say something, but at this time, the young man was already a little angry and said, "Xia Xia, don't be too defenseless. Although the people on the grassland are kind, many of the people from outside are bad-hearted, how can you just pull back a man and say that he is your friend? β
"Uncle Winbu, don't kill the sheep easily, what's the situation with everyone in Barbato Village now?! Where else can you kill sheep? β
Speaking of this, the young man looked directly at Tang Ling: "Friend, Barbatto Village is not suitable for entertaining guests now, while it is not dark yet, I will send you out of the village." β
After saying this, the young man stood up, as if to show off his strength to Tang Ling, he deliberately puffed up his muscles, and his body under the leather robe was unusually strong.
"Baltu, don't go too far. When will it be your turn to call the shots for my guests? "Valencia was very angry.
"Why can't I call the shots? My family is willing to give your family 100 sheep and 50 cattle to survive this crisis. And you will be my daughter-in-law. This man named Baltu was also a little angry, he just couldn't get used to Valencia's appearance of defending Tang Ling.
Tang Ling raised his head, glanced at Baltu, scratched his head and asked, "A hundred sheep, fifty cows, is it a lot?" I think I'll be able to eat it for a month. β
