The harvest season of the year has come again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The golden wheat fields that can be seen everywhere in the village are described as wolf running, and the ears of wheat that are blown down by strong winds are trampled by wolves, and when the harvest is bad, they are said to be eaten by wolves.
Although this metaphor is appropriate, it also contains negative connotations, which seems to be a fly in the ointment.
Today, however, these metaphors are just jokes, and almost no one uses them with the same sense of intimacy and fear as they once did.
The autumn sky looking up from the cracks in the swaying ears of wheat has not changed for hundreds of years, but the people and things below have all changed.
"The villagers here don't need us anymore. ”
A sigh came from the wheat field, a long time ago, a giant wolf was the god of harvest because of an agreement with the villagers, and then guarded it for hundreds of years, and now it seems that it can be put down.
The high mountains in the east made most of the clouds in the sky of the village drift to the north, and a sigh came from the wheat field when I thought of the northern hometown where the clouds drifted away.
Pull your gaze back from the sky to the wheat field, and the proud tail is wagging in front of you.
I have nothing to do, so I have to concentrate on combing the hair of the tail.
The autumn sky is high and clear.
This year is the harvest time again.
Packs of countless wolves run through the wheat fields.
......
......
You live a different life in a parallel world.
Autumn is crisp, and a truck is driving on the official road.
Xiao Bai's current identity is a merchant who travels around the world to do business to make a living, in addition to a horse, the wagon has apples and fox furs, and a gorgeous costume that he has spent his life collecting, the essence of business is to buy low and sell high, traveling merchants rely on buying goods everywhere, and then go to other places to sell the goods at a higher price, but there is also a risk of depreciation of goods.
This is an ordinary person with an extremely ordinary dream, and after making enough money, he will open his own shop in a small town.
Xiao Bai's next destination is the village called Pasro, it is now the wheat harvest season, if you sell the goods in hand, you can consider buying some wheat to sell elsewhere.
Speaking of Paslo Village, there is still some relationship with Xiao Bai in this world, a few years ago because of the high tax so that the wheat in Paslo Village was not loved by merchants, and Xiao Bai bought these small profits like a savior, which won the favor of the villagers here.
As soon as Xiao Bai entered the boundary of the village, he was warmly welcomed by the villagers, and at the same time, the harvest in the wheat field was nearing the end, and a girl with a red scalp and two long whips held a sickle in one hand, smiled and beckoned in his direction: "Mr. Xiao Bai, you are here." ”
"If you don't pay attention, the wolf will run away. Xiao Bai responded by saying that there is a custom that villagers who harvest the last tufts of wheat need to play the role of a virtuous wolf, and this red-haired girl is named Kuloai, who was the representative of the village bargaining when Xiao Bai bought wheat a few years ago.
Taking advantage of Kuloai's speech, the villagers were very clever to harvest all the other wheat, and when Kuloai reacted, there was only the last handful left in the wheat field, she sighed helplessly, stepped forward and then cut the last handful of wheat, looked up to the sky and learned the wolf's voice and barked, jumped into the carriage under the pursuit of the people behind him, and said to Xiao Bai: "I have a treat at night." ”
With that, she ran into a prepared room and closed the door.
Xiao Bai, who was teased by the girl, shook his head, according to local custom, the person who became the character of the virtuous wolf would stay in that room for a week and not be able to come out, so the evening treat was just a joke.
Because of the new methods adopted by the new lord, Count Aarondo, the harvest in the village this year was excellent, and Xiao Bai was invited to his home by the village chief, while listening to him talk about words such as "There is no longer a need to offer prayers to wolves, and human strength alone will not lose to drought and storms."
Walking out of the village chief's house, Xiao Bai thought to himself that the heroine in this mission had not yet appeared, and the clue now was the last tuft of wheat, maybe he should go to the room where Kuloai was staying.
Remembering the merchant's professional instincts, he went to his wagon to make sure the goods were in good condition before looking for clues, and to his surprise, the goods in the truck did not decrease, but seemed to increase a lot.
When Xiao Bai lifted the white cloth that covered the dust, there was a girl about fifteen years old in the truck, she was covered without an inch on her body, her head was as fluffy as a puppy, her hair was as smooth as silk, like a rather textured cloak, from the neck to the collarbone, and then to the shoulders The lines were as beautiful as the statue of the Virgin Mary carved by a peerless artist, and her wrists were as smooth and delicate as ice sculptures, perfect to a flawless beautiful body.
The first thing Xiao Bai noticed was the brown tail, with white hair at the front, like wolf hair, at this moment, he determined the identity of the other party in his heart, and thought of some ears of wheat that fell when Kuloai jumped into the carriage before, and all this in front of him was reasonably explained.
"Put this dress on first. Xiao Bai picked up the only fancy dress on the truck and threw it over, a blue long-sleeved blouse with a fashionable short waistcoat, and statement trousers made of linen and fur, and a fine sheepskin belt that tightened the waist scarf, and a coat made of fine wild bear fur on the outside.
The girl looked at him suspiciously, then put on the suit and said, "Aren't you afraid of us?"
"Why be afraid?" Xiao Bai looked at her beautiful eyes and asked calmly, he didn't know how the original traveling merchant would react in the face of this situation, so he could only replace it in his own way, a person who was not surprised and worthy of trust.
"This ......" because the size of the clothes is obviously too large, wearing it makes the girl look very cute, "We are the great virtuous wolf Heluo, we can swallow you in just one bite." ”
"We" made the girl look more and more playful, and even Xiao Bai seemed to have a feeling of heartbeat, and said, "You prove it to me." ”
"You won't regret it?" asked the girl, looking in his direction.
Xiao Bai nodded seriously.
The next moment, there was a shocked look on his face, not because he was frightened by the huge wolf in front of him, but because a cute girl suddenly turned into a giant wolf, because the picture changed too quickly.
Helo, who had reverted to her maiden form, put on the clothes that were placed on the ground in an orderly manner, and said, "You are a merchant, and we want to make a deal with you." ”
"I want to hear about it. Xiao Bai said.
"We have lived for a long time, and we know most of the truths in the world, including business knowledge, which can help you earn more money. Hero said as she brushed her beautiful tail.
"Then what price do I have to pay?" Xiao Bai asked, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the other party, although he played the reaction of an ordinary person, and the biggest characteristic of a businessman is shrewdness, and a businessman who only sees the immediate interests may be looked down upon by the other party, or even have no good impression at all.
"Let us travel with you until we find our hometown, the ancient town of Yoiz in the north. Harrow looked at the human in front of her a little nervously, she had a hunch that the man in front of her was different, and might be able to help her realize this wish.
Xiao Bai did not agree immediately, but made an expression of value, if there is an Oscar in this world, he can get a ton of medals for this acting act alone.
"Deal!"
In Helo's expectant eyes, a hand reached out to her, and when the two of them, one large and one small, were held together, the contract symbolizing commercial credit was concluded.
