When everyone in the caravan came out after resting for a while, the open space in the village was already full of eager villagers, and there were many old people with children watching the excitement.

Lao Wu Tou led the guards to drive the carriage and horses over, stopped in the middle of the crowd, and lifted the coarse cloth covered by the carriage full of goods, and the contents were suddenly revealed.

Bags of fine grain were piled up on top of each other to form a hill, as well as piles of cloth and sharp iron tools, including various household utensils, as well as small bags of coarse salt and tobacco leaves.

The dazzling array attracted the attention of the villagers.

There are even a small amount of candy and toys that children love, and they are set aside to attract the attention of the onlookers.

Many children's eyes lit up, clamoring for their parents or other elders to exchange these small objects, which made many old people a little big.

There are also more than ten pieces of exquisite leather armor stored inside, which particularly attract the attention of the surrounding old hunters, these standard leather armor is easy to wear, and the defensive effect is considerable, which is the same as the light armor worn by the caravan guards, or even stronger.

In the past, there was no such leather armor when trading, but if the old hunters in the village had this kind of leather armor, it would undoubtedly be safer to hunt, and it would be more difficult to go all out.

Many old hunters in the surrounding area kept an eye on the leather armor on the car, and they were determined to get it.

Old Wu Tou allowed the villagers to watch the various goods on the carriage and allowed simple touches.

He also took out the fine iron spear and axe he brought, and showed it to the surrounding strong hunters to observe and try, which really whetted people's appetites.

After a while, seeing that the number of people present did not increase, only some hunters who had not yet returned from hunting did not arrive, so Lao Wu Tou ordered to go down and officially start trading.

The village chief and Uncle Lin and others watched from the sidelines, with previous experience, although the villagers were enthusiastic, they were very orderly when they really carried out transactions.

The caravan had special people to count and distribute the goods, and at this moment, each carriage with the goods was lined up with people.

Pointing to the goods they liked, the villagers took out their own treasures and traded them with the caravans, and discussed the value of each other's goods.

Over the years, trade in goods has also given rise to a fairly regulated set of trading rules, so there is little quarrel between the villagers and the caravans when exchanging goods.

The crowd was full of voices, and the scene was very noisy for a while.

"Four complete elk skins, in exchange for a fine iron spear and a bag of coarse salt. ”

"A few wolf skins, in exchange for a pair of light leather armor and a roll of cloth. ”

"Eighteen pounds of bear bones, in exchange for two bags of tobacco leaves. ”

"Twenty-five pounds of venison, in exchange for a pack of candy and a delicate doll!"

"I still have hides here, can you see what else you can change?"

The villagers scrambled to negotiate patiently with the caravan people, trying to get more goods in exchange.

At this moment, Pang Yuan was carrying out his usual spiritual training in the forest near the village, sweating like rain, and he was ignorant of the ongoing trade in the village.

However, Old Man Pang did not miss this excitement.

Although there was basically no shortage of items at home, he still brought some animal skins, bear bones, etc., in exchange for a few bags of tobacco leaves, salt oil and other daily necessities as backup.

However, the bearskin was very precious, and he refused to trade it, wanting to keep it for himself.

After more than an hour, the vast majority of the villagers completed the transaction and checked the goods with satisfaction, and the goods from the outside world that were originally held in a few carriages loaded with goods were almost sold out.

At this time, including a few vacant carriages, they were now filled with primitive beast skins, bones, and some rare medicinal herbs from the villagers' homes.

There were even a lot of freshly hunted elk and wild goat carcasses, which were also loaded into the cart, and several carriages were full.

Uncle Lin, who was watching from the sidelines, also participated in the transaction, in exchange for a pair of sturdy and lightweight light leather armor, and exchanged an iron spear for Tong Hu as a weapon in the future.

This made Huzi very happy, and he happily held the fine iron spear and touched it, and he almost kissed it.

"Where did Pang Yuan, this kid go, why hasn't he come back yet?

Uncle Lin saw that Pang Yuan had not appeared for a long time, and seeing that he was about to miss this caravan trade that only happened once a year, he was secretly a little anxious in his heart.

On the side of the convoy, the old village chief was chatting and laughing with Lao Wutou, smiling and watching the villagers' trading process.

The trade was nearing its end, and the sturdy guards were busy draping the wagons with coarse cloth and tying the goods with ropes outside.

There was not much merchandise left from the outside world on the carriage, and the old hunters had finished exchanging them, and there were still two pairs of light leather armor left, which no one bought or sold because of their relative value.

"Old Wu, we have been trading for so many years, you see that your carriages are full of goods from this trade, and there are not so many pieces of goods. ”

"Let's discuss, the rest of the goods will be counted as an addition, how about sending them to our village?"

The old village chief glanced at the remaining goods of the caravan, and saw that there were still two pairs of leather armor inside, and his eyes flashed, and he pretended to say casually.

As the leader of the caravan, Lao Wu Tou has been wandering for many years, and he is very shrewd, and he guesses a little bit of the old village chief's thoughts, so he will naturally not be fooled by him.

"That's not good, Iron Village, the rest of the goods are fine, the two pieces of leather armor in there can't be given to you so simply. ”

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that you also know that the world outside is chaotic, this kind of weapon leather armor is relatively strictly controlled, and it's not easy for me to get these leather armor!"

Old Wu Tou looked embarrassed and slowly explained the reason.

Looking around the open space of the village, Lao Wu Tou caught a glimpse of an ancient bronze tripod used for sacrifice in the mountain village, with four legs and two ears, dull in color, and full of vicissitudes.

The bronze tripod is wide and huge, it is difficult for two people to hug together, nearly one person is tall, weighs about a thousand catties, and the thick tripod ears are enough to easily let the head of an adult pass through.

He didn't want to give these goods directly, and he didn't want the old village chief to misunderstand because of this.

Old Wu Tou looked at the quaint bronze tripod, his eyes lit up, and he secretly estimated the weight of the tripod, his mind was racing, and he already had an idea in his heart.

He spoke immediately.

"Why don't you do that, Tiecun, how about we make a bet?"

"Oh, what a bet! ”

When the old village chief heard him say this, he was also interested.

"Take the remaining two pairs of light leather armor as a prize. ”

"Everyone has seen that bronze tripod, your village has a hand, if three people can lift it and maintain it for five breaths, they can get the first pair of leather armor. ”

"If two people can lift it up for ten breaths, I will offer two pairs of leather armor with both hands. ”

"As for the rest of the bits and pieces, I'll give them to everyone, Tiecun, what do you think?"

Old Wu said with confidence.

He could see that the bronze tripod was so heavy that it was difficult to move, so he came up with the idea.

The old hunters around him are extremely strong, tall and strong, and they are all excellent warriors.

Old Wu Tou thought about it, it shouldn't be a problem for them to send three people to hold up this big tripod for a few breaths.

The old village chief has been friends with him for many years, and the old Wu Tou doesn't want to disobey the village chief's face, so this light leather armor is given to the village for free.

But then, it's much more difficult to get a second deck of light leather armor.

The two hunters wanted to lift this heavy bronze tripod and maintain it for a longer time, and the old Wu Tou thought in his heart that it was basically impossible for them to complete it, and the village chief could be convinced if he lost.

"Okay, it's up to you!"

The old village chief was extremely decisive, glanced at the bronze tripod, did not hesitate, and answered categorically.

At this time, everyone around also heard the conversation between the two, and they were very interested in this bet, and many guards and hunters surrounded them excitedly.

Hearing the village chief announce the rules and bets, many strong hunters were eager to try.

The group came to the front of the bronze giant tripod, automatically formed a large circle, and carefully looked at the ancient tripod in front of them.

When many departing villagers heard the news of the gambling match, they also rushed over to see the excitement, and the number of people gradually increased.

The bronze tripod style is very simple, the tripod wall is extremely thick, and it is covered with some strange beast face patterns that are difficult to identify, and the style is rough.

According to the old people in the village, this tripod has existed since a long time ago, and no one knows its specific source.

Because the bronze tripod is extremely heavy, it is difficult to move, and there is no other use, it is idle here, and over time, the bronze ancient tripod has become the sacrificial ritual vessel of the small mountain village.

Looking at the huge copper tripod in front of them, the two sturdy old hunters volunteered and stood up.

The two of them were in high spirits, and they proudly lit up their bulging and towering strong muscles, which caused cheers and laughter all around.

The crowd was very interested, and the atmosphere was warm.

In this way, the challenge is one person away.

"Tong Lin, you go up and take a hand. ”

The old village chief turned his head and whispered to Uncle Lin, who was standing beside him.

Uncle Lin nodded, he was also very interested in this challenge, so he didn't say anything, he walked forward directly, and stood quietly beside the two old hunters.

The two old hunters who were still chattering quieted a lot, and hurriedly gave up their place to Uncle Lin.

The three of them each found a good position in the bronze tripod, and their powerful hands were on the thick feet or walls of the tripod, their bodies were tense, and their breathing slowed down, and they were ready.

The old village chief looked at the three people in the field, and looked back and forth at the surrounding people a few times, but he didn't find the target, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

The old village chief beckoned, called a villager, and asked in a low voice.

"Pang Yuan, what about that kid, haven't you returned to the village yet? You go to the gate of the village to guard, once this kid comes back, immediately notify him to come, the second level is estimated to depend on him." ”

The villager nodded, said nothing, and immediately turned around to break through the crowd and ran towards the entrance of the village.

The old village chief looked at the distant figure of this villager, and his heart gradually calmed down, and then he looked at the field again, and looked at the old Wu Tou not far away.

The village chief nodded slightly and announced loudly.

"Alright, let's get started!"

And in the jungle, an extremely majestic figure was slowly walking in the direction of the village.
