Chapter 32: The Soldier and the Veterinarian

Wu Xing was naturally unmoved after hearing this, and simply said, "Can you talk about it specifically?"

Bagen casually continued: "In the eyes of the people of the Seven Kingdoms of the Starfall Continent, the barbarians are nomadic fishing and hunting people, and the livestock in the tribe are not only the Northland horses, but also sheep, horned deer, and Yake cattle. Sheep naturally need not say much. Horned deer is resistant to severe cold, extremely fast, can pull sleds in the snow, can also be used as meat, is a semi-wild animal, does not need much care. The Yake cow is almost full of treasures, can drink milk, can eat beef, can burn cow dung, its wool can be used as clothes or tents, leather is a good material for tanning, and can also be used as an important animal power in various harsh environments in the north. ”

"Don't talk about what is far away, but only talk about what is near. In the grasslands of the Northland, not all grass is pasture, in fact, there are more than 200 kinds of poisonous weeds! Although it also snows in Longxi County, the livestock of the barbarian tribe usually use their hooves to pick up the snow and look for dry grass to eat. The northern countries of the Starfall Continent usually grow castor beans. Castor beans are very versatile, not only the seeds can be squeezed for oil, the content is also very high, it is also a very useful herb, the medicinal oil made of it is used to treat all kinds of bruises, its leaves can also be used to reduce swelling and pain, detoxification and pain, and the roots can be used to treat rheumatism and bone pain....... However, one thing is fatal. When the castor stalk is broken, a milky white juice will flow out, but it is extremely poisonous!"

"Each poisonous weed in the grassland has different toxicity and symptomatic reactions. So the barbarians need veterinarians. And because of the hard life of the barbarians, in fact, many veterinarians are unwilling to be slaves, and will try their best to escape from the tribe and enter the northern countries to seek a better life. ”

"When the barbarians invade the northern countries, they will send scouts to spy on the military and catch slaves at the same time, that is, to arrest those barbarian veterinarians, because the tattoos of the four totems of the barbarians are very recognizable and very conspicuous. ”

At this point, Bagan believed that he had said enough "concrete" and stopped.

"So, you're going to 'get back to your old job' and become a veterinarian. And I'm a scout who is also a slave catcher?" Wu Xing asked.

"No!" Bagan shook his head again and again, and said, "You were able to get close to that hundred households, because you borrowed the identity of the 'messenger' of the so-called lord in the south. You can't pretend to be a scout. Although you can speak barbarian, your words and deeds are too different from those of a real barbarian. ”

Wu Xing blinked his eyes, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that I am a 'veterinarian' and you are a 'scout' of slave hunting?"

Bagen laughed, nodded, raised an iron token in his hand, and said, "The token of this brand on your body is the token of the head of the ten thousand households, so it is normal to behave a little high-flying." If someone doesn't know what to do after reading the token, they can just whip the horsewhip over! Not to mention that I am still a drunk soldier of the head of ten thousand households. ”

Wu Xing looked at Bagen's chest and asked worriedly, "But, your injuries ....... Can you drink alcohol? And there is another question, how to distinguish whether the wolf head tattoo on your barbarian's neck represents an ordinary barbarian or a slave?"

Bagan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to really drink, you just need to sprinkle some burning knives on your clothes, and the smell of alcohol will not go away for several days." Then take one or two healing herbs, the effect is to make people drowsy, and you can pretend to be drunk. At most, when I was interrogated, I poured another sip of wine temporarily, and I guess my wine worm was really hungry at that time, haha!"

"As for the wolf head tattoo on the neck, as long as the children in the tribe are taller than the wheels, they can start tattooing on the neck. As for how to distinguish between barbarians and slaves, it is only necessary to see if there are shackles on the feet. The barbarians' shackles were not able to take a big stride or ride a horse, and the keyholes were filled with iron juice that the slaves themselves could not open. Those who served the tribal nobles in the tent also had crisp bells hung on their shackles to prevent slaves from sneaking up on their masters. Only when the tribe is in a state of war will they free their slaves from their shackles and act as 'outliers', charging at the front of their own ranks, either to withstand the first wave of arrows or to rush into the enemy's line first. Traditionally, decapitation of the first level grants freedom. But in reality it is usually consumed with the enemy's 'outliers'. And the reason why that hundred households recognized me was because he used to be a personal soldier in front of the ten thousand households. ”

"I don't actually need to go deep into the war zone, I just want to see what grade those martial stars are now, so that I can use them as a goal to catch up and surpass. Wu Xing's head was clear, but he did not immediately agree with Bagen's seemingly feasible "veterinarian" plan, and said: "What we have now preset is the most ideal situation. In the process, if one or two nine-rank star martial arts come to us, or one or two waves of arrow rain, a few horse pits, or an alert barbarian, the two of us may not be able to escape. The ugly words are said earlier, in case this situation really happens, I can't take care of you. ”

"I really hope you can accept this 'vet' plan......" Bargan couldn't help laughing before he could finish speaking, and lifted one side of his felt hat, turned his head sideways, revealing a shiny half of his bald head and the rat tail braid, and said, "Otherwise, my hair will be shaved white!"

Wu Xing couldn't help laughing, and then asked one last question: "In your current state, can you ride a horse? That's a physical job." ”

Bagan looked disappreciative and said, "Of course there is no problem! I can still sleep on horseback!"

Wu Xing had no problem now, and the two made an appointment to set off after lunch. As for how Bagen asked the chief for the other two Northland horses, and how the two reached a consensus on the "unauthorized departure of the deputy of the capital guard", then Wu Xing did not need to worry about it.

After Bagen left, Wu Xing returned to the small room specially prepared for Mr. Jiaoshu next to the Mengxue Hall, got on the kang, and meditated cross-legged.

Entering the state of meditation and inward vision, the scene of the dawn of the morning star occurs again. Obviously different from when the morning star is lit, there is a nine-star chain of "stars" below the morning star, which is part of the sea of stars in the body. If the morning star is like a small moon, then the nine-star chain is roughly the brightness of ordinary stars.

However, due to the exhaustion last night, I slept until the chief of the army recruited the guards to discuss in the ancestral hall, and the consumption of spiritual power had not had time to fully recover before he summoned a small hammer. Therefore, the Daystar and the Nine Stars quickly dimmed like a flash in the pan, and soon entered the darkness where the five fingers could not be reached.
