Chapter 42: No Man's Land
Seeing that the situation here is like this, Zhang Xiaodao, Feng Wuhen, Hu Mankui, Gu Long, Mai Hu and Tent Master Quan Mingde, a few people sat down and discussed, they must not rest here, and when the time comes, the guests will occupy the main nest and cause bloodshed, and this matter will be a big deal! So in the end, everyone had no choice but to prepare to make some simple supplies, or leave!
Everyone also issued an order that not a single grass or tree here should be touched, and only some water could be replenished in the well!
The water supply will be completed in a while!
Everyone, look at this place where there are transactions but no one! It's all depressed and helpless! I had to go along this valley and go to the front again!
The team had no choice but to leave with their heads bowed!
Brother Han said stupidly: "I still haven't seen it!" This person is really cowardly! If there is a caravan to our original tribe, it will be able to trade successfully! It's like here! I can't even find a ghost! ”
Wind Endless also said: "Maybe the people here don't want to deal with people outside!" It's a caravan disguised by the country's pathfinder army! Obviously it's trading things with them! In fact, they wanted to be captured as serfs! So it's all hiding! ”
The rest of the people also felt justified when they heard it! Maybe that's how it is!
The guide also said that the people in the mountains are afraid of outsiders! There are more people afraid of outsiders than of beasts here! We're all armed with knives and arrows! They may all be scared! For example, if I saw you, I would have to hide!
After listening to the guide again, Zhang Xiaodao couldn't sit still at all! He thought to himself! Wouldn't I be done if it went on like this? That's it! Listening to the tone of the guide, the people in front of you may be like this! If that's the case! I threw all my knives and arrows??? But this is absolutely not possible!! No more knives and arrows! Aren't we just fish to be slaughtered? But if it were to be the case! It's like this when you walk in! I'll pull everything back again??? Isn't that just a stuff that can only be eaten and drunk!! No way! This is a no-no! I can't pull it back even if I throw it here!! I can't afford to lose this man!
That's right!!! Ha ha! Throw salt in here! Why don't I throw a rock and find my way! Hahahaha
The thought of throwing salt! Zhang Xiaodao came to the idea! He then ordered the team to turn back immediately!
After the team returned to the thatched hut tribe, Zhang Xiaodao ordered someone to take a look at the guys who put salt from a few houses! The guy who put the salt took a look. The salt grains in it are pitiful, and almost all of them can be clear! And it's all the same!
When everyone looked at it, they realized that it seemed that there was indeed a great lack of salt here!!
It's easy to say if it's missing! Zhang Xiaodao was happy when he saw it! He immediately ordered people to leave some salt from house to house at once! I thought, if you don't trade with me, I'll give you some! Throw the salt out like this, and you may trade with me one day!
After the salt was delivered, the team re-embarked on the road to leave the hut tribe.
After the people left the hut tribe, they walked more than twenty miles. Then he set up camp. I'm going to wait the next day to see if this stone can stir up any waves in the silent thatched tribe!
There was a small river in the camping place, the river was not deep, and Brother Han Mankui searched for a while. It was found that there were also fish inside. Immediately, everyone made a wooden fork. Race to spearfish in the river! After a while, a lot of fish, large and small, were forked, and so on. Everyone's dinner became grilled fish and boiled fish soup again!.
At night, the stars shine brightly, and the night with the sounds of all kinds of animals surrounds several campfires!
Zhang Xiaodao had already drunk a lot of the wine he brought, and his head was already a little dizzy and said, "Hey, let's talk about it, can we do this trick?" ”
Quan Mingde, the bookkeeper, was the first to say: "If you want to say that this method is a good way, it is better than us leaving without doing anything, but I really don't know how the people in these wild places will react!" Let's say, I'm from here, and I saw you guys coming here with knives and guns! And then I hid! When you are gone, when I go back, I will see that you have left me a lot of salt, well! Of course, I am very happy to see it this way! But when the joy is over, I wonder, what the hell are you coming from! What happens if I ask for your stuff? Will it be a forced sale? gave us a little sweetness first, and then brought us more trouble when we came back! Then we will continue to hide when we see it, and as for the salt left, if you want to take it and let us take it back, you can't say for sure! ”
After hearing this, Feng Wuhen also said: "Well, what Mr. Quan said is reasonable, this can't communicate things is really difficult to do!" Although this salt was given to them by us, they don't know it! Maybe there will be some other thoughts, such as, what if we take your salt, and then you come back and charge the price of a cow! So I don't think it's easy! ”
Zhang Xiaodao thought about it, what if a group of people I didn't know casually left me a hundred yuan, and then hid to see me! If I spend that money, they will blackmail me again! It has become a debt of Hades that cannot be repaid! Wouldn't that be a problem! It seems that things are really not as simple as imagined!
After hearing this, Brother Han Mankui put down the grilled fish in his hand and said, "Hey! I say you can't just think about the bad in everything! If I look at it, maybe this trick can really knock on their door! For example, I'm also in this thatched hut tribe! Later, I saw the salt you left for me! Kindness! I want to be happy! I'm going to hesitate too! But I want your salt too! And then what! I just want to communicate with you! Let's see what it will cost me to ask for your things! So, this may be the beginning of our communication with them! Hehe! ”
As soon as Zhang Xiaodao heard Brother Han Mankui finish speaking, he immediately turned his worries into joy, and what Man Kui said made sense! It's really possible!
Gu Long and Mai Hu also agreed with Man Kui's opinion, and the two of them said one after another, there are timid people, but there are also bold ones! If you want something, you must want to know if you can ask for it! We're going to distribute that salt to everybody!" In this way, there is no guarantee that the daring adults will appear!
It's also very likely that everyone hears this statement! But no one knows what the real answer will be! So I had to rest separately! I'll see it tomorrow!
The next morning, everyone washed up by the creek and ate some leftover food from last night! Finally, the time was almost up, and then I set off to go back to the thatched hut tribe!
When we arrived at the thatched hut tribe, everyone saw that there was indeed a reflection! But this reflection really made everyone feel even more depressed! I saw that there was still no one in the thatched hut tribe! And this time even the farming animals are gone! Each family is just an empty thatched hut, and even some of the food that I could see last time has been transferred! In short, there is nothing valuable and useful to stay!
And the salt that everyone left behind last time was recollected into three pockets by the people here, and placed next to the well where the water was drawn last time!
Let's take a look at this answer! It seems that people are interested in this thing of unknown origin! People really don't dare to ask for it! And I didn't know our details, and I was afraid of losses, so I even transferred all the food and livestock at home.
Zhang Xiaodao looked at the salt sent out, and let the family return it! I said, why is it so hard to deal with you! Even such a simple transaction has become so complicated! I've really opened my eyes!
So what now!? What can I do? Just gone? But that's not even better! If you all do this, you will give me a closed door! I just have to go back! No, I'll have to do it again! Keep sending it back again!
After making up his mind to continue sending, Zhang Xiaodao immediately ordered everyone to distribute these salts again, and gave some more! And he also learned from the experience of the last time! Even if you send it, you can't cover your head and block your face!
When the salt was finished, he ordered everyone to shout and shout! The content of the shouting means that we are a small caravan from the country of Zig, and the purpose is to sell salt here! Just here to make some simple deals with you! And nothing else! As for the salt that remains! That's all for you! There is no other purpose or requirement! We just want to make friends with you, if possible! Let's talk!
Everyone really shouted, and finally Zhang Xiaodao felt this movement! Even the deaf can hear it! If only that were the case! I'm so out of the of myself!
When they had finished shouting, they went back to their camp by the river! Be prepared to wait another day and see how things change!!
Zhang Xiaodao discussed with a few leaders again, and this time everyone didn't have any optimism! I really don't know what the other party will think about this kind of hot and cold thing! But the good thing is that this salt throwing is asking for directions, and it has finally received a little effect! It's just that the other party has some reaction! In this way, it is better than things just being frozen.
For the first time, it may be that people don't know who we are, what we're here for, or what our purpose is! What are you doing with so much salt from unknown sources! This time, we know all about the ghosts! If you give it back! God knows, what do you all think! Or you just don't want to deal with us at all.
In the end, everyone came to two conclusions, this time it was either the worst ending, or people didn't want to deal with us! Or continue to return all the salt! Or just don't know what kind of good reaction they will have? …… (To be continued......)
