XVI. Caravans
Barbecue, this is a way, but you have to add all the lines, and the standard of living here is not high, how can meat be regarded as a high-quality food, whether the sales volume can go up is also a problem, plus the pastoral area, most of the ethnic groups on the grassland are barbecue experts, you don't see, the roast sheep on the grassland are all high-quality delicious, so thinking about it, Yang Siqi shot this idea.

There is no shortage of furniture, wood, etc., but it takes a lot of time, in case you only buy tools and materials, and the human caravan comes, won't you waste your money in vain?
Piercing fish, selling fish, that's a good way, that's it. Anyway, there is a small river outside the market, although this small river is not as big as the river on the edge of the sheep village, but there will always be fish, and I just stab a few to sell some money to make a living, and I am not desperate to stab the fish, so it should not be eye-catching.
Yang Siqi made up his mind, just stab the fish, there is no fish for sale here, presumably the people of the orc country are not good at fishing from the water, and the fish should be liked by everyone.
Yang Siqi is not greedy, it is enough to stab one or twenty stabs a day. In the beginning, the people in the market didn't know much about what fish was, although they saw a lot in the river, it was difficult to catch, and most orcs were naturally afraid of water, so they didn't have much interest in eating fish. But no matter how much the fish is considered meat, no matter how bad it is, it is better than pure grain, plus a pound of fish is equivalent to the price of a pound of rice, under the same price, this fish is naturally much more delicious than rice.
Because of this, Yang Siqi's fish is not afraid of no market, and he doesn't sell too much, so naturally there will be no rice merchants to find trouble, but it's just a few dozen catties of fish, what is this? It can't affect the price of rice.
At the end of such a day, Yang Siqi's income is more than two silver coins, and less is about two silver coins, and he has to pay a lot of taxes, and then cut out the money for eating and living in the hotel, and the net profit per day is only about one silver coin, which is not bad, anyway, he can mix it up, he just uses this method to make a living, and he doesn't want to make a fortune from this.
As the days passed, the weather grew colder. According to the climate, Yang Siqi believes that it will definitely snow in winter here, if it can be compared according to the knowledge of the graticule and climatology on the earth, it should belong to the latitude of more than 40 degrees, as for the southern hemisphere or the northern hemisphere, the specific tropic of cancer or something is not clear, but the weather is not a good thing for him to turn cold.
The snake is a hibernating animal, now, the weather has become colder, he used to be, but the southerners of China, the weather is not very cold, but now, the weather is not much worse than the coldest time in the area where he lives, the snake has also begun to enter the hibernation period, as soon as the snake hibernates, his source of life energy will naturally be cut off, and he must wait until tomorrow after the beginning of spring to be able to come out again.
However, what made him feel comforted was that most of the four batches of snakes that were bred were alive and well, and he knew from the amount of life energy he got every day, and it was estimated that about eighty percent of the small snakes survived, which was definitely a good thing. He had estimated that a quarter of them would survive, but now he had three-quarters of them, and as long as these little snakes lived until the beginning of spring next year and reproduced again, his life energy income would increase greatly.
Finally, after spending more than a month in the market, a caravan of humans finally appeared. The appearance of this human caravan is similar to Yang Siqi, and it is also the appearance of a yellow race, black hair, black eyes and yellow skin are one of the best signs, although they know that they are not their compatriots, but their appearance is similar, which also makes Yang Siqi feel good.
The banner of the caravan is a huge wolf head, and there are also words on it, a very peculiar kind of text that looks like letters instead of letters, like pictograms instead of pictographs, anyway, it is not like four, Yang Siqi naturally can't understand what kind of ghost text this is. However, this caravan was very large, and its number reached more than 2,000 people, some of whom were caravan men, and some of them, no matter how you look at them, were escorts and the like. Of course, it could also be a mercenary.
This caravan brought a large amount of goods, and it would take some time to clear all the goods and at the same time acquire a batch of currency. Yang Siqi didn't know how long it would take, but it would take ten days and eight days, but it wouldn't stay too long, because the weather was getting colder and colder, and in case of a big snow closing the road, I was afraid that the caravan would have to stay here for the winter, which was impossible.
Yang Siqi observed for two days, and then, in the evening, he walked to the inn chartered by the caravan with a dozen fish. The guards of the caravan saw a human being arriving with a fish, the so-called fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears, although Yang Siqi and him were not fellow villagers, but everyone was about the same appearance, and when they met a fellow villager in such a foreign land, they naturally felt close.
Yang Siqi gestured. A guard saw that Yang Siqi was just gesturing, but he couldn't say half a word, but he was stunned, this human being turned out to be a mute. But what does a mute come to himself for?
Yang Siqi pointed to the guards, then to himself, then to the underground road, and then to the houseside of the road, and kept gesturing, using all the sign language he could imagine to explain his intentions. There has never been a moment when he hates Gardes so much, this guy, it's so embarrassing for him to throw him in this hellish place, the language barrier is really the biggest obstacle to human communication.
After a full ten minutes of analogy, the guard finally understood what Yang Siqi meant, but Yang Siqi couldn't understand what the guard said, and he didn't know whether the other party agreed or not, so he was so anxious that Yang Siqi jumped to his feet. Will the guard agree or not? If you agree, everything will be fine, but if you don't agree, you have to follow, you are afraid that you will have to be treated as a thief, and when the time comes, you will jump into the Yellow River and you will not be able to wash it, not to mention that there are hundreds of guards in the caravan, once you are treated as a thief, you are afraid that you will not even be able to escape, and then you will really die unjustly.
The guard had already said several words in a row, but Yang Siqi couldn't understand it, he smiled bitterly, what should I do? Trouble. At that moment, a man in the convoy approached in a robe, with his head wrapped in a turban. This robe has all kinds of patterns on it, and it looks beautiful, but it's a bit weird to even wrap your head. The guards saluted respectfully.
Yang Siqi only heard a voice say in his head: "Friend, what do you ask for?" "A crisp and pleasant voice, the voice of a girl, this person who is almost completely wrapped in a robe is a young girl? However, it is good to have a way to understand yourself, this is spiritual communication, and spiritual communication does not have a language barrier.
Yang Siqi smiled bitterly, the other party will use spiritual power to communicate, and his spiritual power is not bad, but he doesn't know this method, there is such a secret method in the Zerg, but he has not yet had time to learn the control of spiritual power, although he has worked very hard to cultivate the ten thousand heart forging nerves, but the growth and control of spiritual power is not an overnight effort, so the other party can communicate with him with spirit, but he can't use spiritual communication.
Yang Siqi jumped on his feet and gestured again. The guard said a few words. The girl's voice reappeared: "Friend, do you want to follow our caravan back to our Great Yan Kingdom?" If yes, nod your head. ”
This sentence really made Yang Siqi feel like a god, and nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, for the sake of you being a human being, you should also be a citizen of my Dayan Kingdom, I don't know why you are wandering in the world of orcs, since you want to go back, then go back with us."
Yang Siqi hurriedly thanked him, and made another gesture.
"You're welcome, but you have to do what you can, and you should be paid for following us back." This girl is very polite.
Yang Siqi nodded and patted his chest, indicating that there was no problem.
"You can come back early tomorrow morning, if you can't find someone to communicate with, remember to find me, my name is Yu Xiaolan." Listening to this girl's words, it seems that she is also a relatively important person in this caravan, otherwise, she would not have the right to make the decision to take in an outsider.
Yang Siqi saluted and thanked the girl Yu Xiaolan and handed the fish to the guard. Once again, he thanked him and left the caravan's station.
Early the next morning, Yang Siqi came over. When a caravan officer saw Yang Siqi, he gestured to let Yang Siqi move the goods, and it seemed that Yu Xiaolan had already greeted the caravan staff. For this Yu Xiaolan, although Yang Siqi doesn't know her appearance, let alone her identity, but he has a good impression of her in his heart, if there is no her, I am afraid that it will not be so easy for him to follow the caravan to the kingdom of mankind.
Moving goods, for Yang Siqi is just a hard work, with his current physique, his arms are really powerful, moving goods is naturally inappropriate is one thing, anyway, he is also used to working at home, carrying this kind of thing is naturally familiar with the road, and it is not difficult at all.
People are under the roof, they have to bow their heads, they are strangers, and if they want to blend in a circle, the best way is to be diligent. Yang Siqi is not afraid of making efforts, but also strives to perform and win everyone's favor, so he rushes to do any heavy work and the like. Therefore, after only half a day, many staff members in the caravan liked this mute, after all, it is always good to have a diligent helper, anyway, it doesn't cost money, such a good labor force, don't use it in vain.
In the evening, a caravan steward dressed as a steward gave Yang Siqi a bronze sign, which should be an identity card or something, similar to an ID card on the earth, with this sign, it would be much easier for Yang Siqi to blend into the human realm. Of course, the caravan gave him this sign only because he didn't want to get into trouble, after all, people who didn't have identity certificates were black households, and black households were always not very popular.
Since the caravan has admitted that Yang Siqi is one of them, Yang Siqi naturally lives with the caravan, although it is a big room for ten people, it is far less comfortable than Yang Siqi living in a shop by himself, but now is a good opportunity to be familiar, Yang Siqi naturally does not want to spend money to live in the hotel.
On the third and fourth days, Yang Siqi did not see Yu Xiaolan again, and looking at the preparations of the caravan, he believed that he would be able to prepare to stop in one more day and be able to return. Although I don't know if I will go to other markets to do business when I return, but now the weather is very cold, and the ground has frosted in the morning, it is estimated that in a few days, I am afraid that it will snow, and if I don't return, I will have to spend the winter here, therefore, Yang Siqi estimates that this time, the caravan is only afraid that it will go directly to the kingdom of mankind, the kingdom of Dayan.
The caravan set off, a full three hundred carriages, most of the caravan staff were riding on wagons, and the guards were on horseback, guarding the guards' attire and dress, these guards were very elite, leather armor, swords, spears, bows and arrows were all available, and there were more than ten people like Yu Xiaolan who were shrouded in robes. However, these people are a very respected group of people, and it seems that these people are some very special people, either they have special status, or they are powerful. Or maybe it's both. Anyway, Yang Siqi is finally going to leave this orc world and go to the human world.
Looking at the market that gradually disappeared below the horizon, Yang Siqi said in his heart: "Farewell, the world of orcs, I don't know if I will come here again, but I won't forget here." Goodbye, my goatman friends. ”
