Chapter 68: Totem Festival (Part II)
"Patriarch Heibo, the day after tomorrow, our Xiao family will come and take the last batch of merchant goods away, and this year's transaction will be over. ”
"It's okay, almost all the fur around is gone," said Hei Bo Bapu laughing, but he said in his heart, let's end it when it's over, end it early, and save yourself from worry. People are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are also afraid of people, not only Licheng, there is a moon dynasty behind Licheng, this is the meaning of the country.
"Our ancestor asked me to bring you a word, your price this year is the most expensive in our Xiao family's purchase price. ”
"Elder Xiao San, you can't blame us, if it's the fur of our Heibo clan, everything is easy to say, but the amount you want is large, we have to collect it from the surrounding tribes, so can it be cheaper?"
"Patriarch Heibo, let's talk openly, the Moon Dynasty has unified the human race, not before, you can't listen to the words of some people. Surrounding Departments...... Which tribe dares to manipulate your Heibo tribe? Our ancestors have a message to you, this is not the first transaction, and the number of transactions may be even greater next year. ”
"Next year?"
Human nature is greedy.
Regardless of the back, this deal did bring a lot of wealth to the Heibo clan.
"There is a junior in our Xiao family, and he successfully entered the Tiancang Sect this year. ”
"Tiancang Sect?"
If you judge the product according to the strength, the Heibo tribe is undoubtedly also a six-grade force, but the Heibo tribe can be the king and hegemon in the suburbs of Licheng, looking at the entire Pingwei Mansion and Langzhou, it is nothing. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Xiao family, the Zhong family, the Youxiong family, and the Heibo Village are all behemoths, but in the eyes of Heibo Bapu, the Tiancang faction is also a behemoth.
"He met a fellow brother in the Tiancang Sect, and they pulled up this deal. This year is very hasty, your various departments have raised the price separately, and our Xiao family has endured it, if you raise the price again next year, we will only have selective screening transactions. ”
"Well said, well said. ”
Hei Bo Bapu thought in his heart again, could it be that the Xiong family really made a mistake, and the Xiao family's transaction this time was just a transaction?
The Xiao family will also send many people to pick up the goods, and they will pick up the goods the day after tomorrow.
If you come in the morning, you will leave in the afternoon, go to Weishan Fort to rest, and there will be nothing to do. If you come in the afternoon and leave the next day, it's just one night, take precautions for many days, there is always a time of negligence, take precautions for one night, don't be too easy.
Or is it just the night after tomorrow to launch an unscrupulous operation?
Xiao Bushan took out a bag: "Transaction is a transaction, friendship is friendship, the ancestor heard that today is the totem festival of your Heibo tribe, and deliberately asked me to come to your village in advance and bring some gifts to celebrate." ”
He took out some of the more precious gifts from his pocket.
"Thank you, thank you. ”
"Patriarch Heibo, I want to thank you for not raising the price again next year, because you have raised the price, I have been told by the ancestor that I will not do things. ”
"No price next year, no price next year. ”
Xiao Bushan returned to camp.
"There are still people monitoring these two days, but it is much more lax than the previous days. Humb said.
"If this is done earlier, if it is dragged to the Totem Festival, there are only a few people, and our Xiao family will save a lot of money. Xiao Daimi said.
There are not so many "orders", it is enough to buy some furs, and the Xiao family really needs these supplies. If you don't let them set fire, there is not much danger, and there is no need to send officers and soldiers, just let all the children of the Xiao family come, and if the business is negotiated, let them pull the goods away. If you don't tell the truth, you won't be exposed. Find another excuse and leave a few people behind.
Then it won't be as embarrassing as it is now, maybe the Heibo clan won't suspect it, and they won't send someone to monitor it, and the Xiao family has also saved a lot of money.
Jiang Ning said angrily: "I'm not from Tianji Pavilion. ”
Yu Kai and Dong Jiahao lowered their heads and smiled.
Xiao Daimian said it well, it doesn't make sense, it's a person, who can see the future?
Xiao Bushan glared at Xiao Daimian fiercely, and was still counting on Jiang Ning to work hard at night.
Jiang Ning turned his head and looked outside.
Snowflakes began to fall outside again, and the snow was not too big, but fortunately the north wind was tight.
This is a good phenomenon, the fire borrows the wind, and the fire will be big.
As it gets dark, Hei Bo Bap himself comes to the camp and invites them over to the annual totem festival.
"Dai Milling, Jiang Ning, you stay here. ”
"Yes. The four of them stood up together and replied.
"Let's go together. ”
"There's still the goods, and there's got to be a rule. ”
"You Terran rules are many. ”
"Patriarch Heibo, there is no way, our human race and your desolate clan are the same after all, without rules, you can't cure your family. Xiao Bushan said as he went to the central square with Hong Bo and another elder of the Xiao family, that is, the square where the Black Skulls were anzaed. Just for this annual feast, all the tents were moved to other places.
Hei Bo Bapu took the three elders of the Xiao family to sit down, and in addition to them, there were some other desolate elders. As for the Black Skeleton Army and some bandits, they were arranged on the other side.
Xiao Bushan asked in a low voice, "Those people are the Black Skull Army?"
"Elder Xiao San, you won't mind, will you?"
"Don't mind, how did they come to Guizhai?"
"You have built forts in the city, and their space for movement has become smaller, and they are also thinking of a way out. ”
"Patriarch Heibo, don't lie to me, are they ordinary bandits? I don't care, but I want to say that now is not more than ten years ago, yes, we must be appropriately restrained. ”
"Third Elder, we are us, the Xiong family is the Xiong family, and we can't care about the grievances between you and the Xiong family, don't let us be caught in the middle. ”
"Hahaha, talk about it, talk about it. ”
A plan is a plan, if it weren't for Xiao Bushan and Hong Bo's sophistication and composure this time, the Heibo clan would have seen through it a long time ago.
Dozens of strong young men of the Heibo clan brought a mango cow, the Moon Dynasty divided the demon beast into six levels, the mango cow can be regarded as a fourth-level demon beast, even if the Heibo clan hunted it down, it took a lot of effort.
Groups of people of the Heibo tribe danced their totem dance around the mango cow, and the black Bo Bapu and the high priest of the Heibo tribe stood in front of the altar and chanted words. After the long sacrificial ceremony, the high priest himself lit a bonfire.
The bonfire is large and is also arranged in the shape of a black tapir. The fuel in the fire ditch is fire oil and black stone, which will not produce too much spark when burned, and it is not afraid of the cold wind blowing and causing fire.
As the fire lit, Hei Bo Bapu took dozens of strong men and began to dismember the mango cow, and then distributed its meat, not even the blood and bones, and put it in a few big dings to continue to make food.
Don't underestimate the meat of these mango cows, eating it is no less than eating a Yiyi Qi Pill, and there will be no side effects of the pill, of course, how much can be absorbed, it depends on the digestion and acceptance ability of each person.
Everyone gathered in a group, there were many people, one mango cow was far from enough, and some people brought a lot of beef and mutton, put it on the iron frame, and put the iron frame on the bonfire to roast.
From time to time, some young men and women came to the middle circle to sing and dance, and these people were undoubtedly the most talented of the Heibo tribe.
Because of their living habits, the desert people are relatively idle, except for staying on horseback and occasionally cultivating, they have almost nothing to do all day long, so they have to sing and dance.
Jiang Ning did not say anything about this, it was purely the so-called versatility formed by living habits, if the Terrans were like them, they didn't work all day, thinking about singing and dancing, instead of treating it as occasional entertainment, then in a few years, half of the Terrans would starve to death.
But many of the desolate people are indeed good at singing and dancing.
It has nothing to do with their looks, these people sing really well and dance gracefully.
Xiao Bushan and Hong Bo were not in the mood to watch these wonderful performances, and they were thinking about the time in their hearts.
The patriarch of Heibo thought that there were people with the Black Skull Army, and the elders of the Xiao family were inconvenient to speak, so he pouted, not knowing what to persuade, and the scene was a little dull.
The fire groups in the distance were very lively, not only the Heibo tribe and other desolate tribes, but also many desolate bandits joined in this carnival.
If nothing happens, there will be many more couples in pairs tomorrow, and in the next few days, there will be many more brides and grooms in Heibo Village and the surrounding wastelands.
Jiang Ning also heard this joyful atmosphere in the tent.
Another scene appeared in his mind: Zhang Heizi's honesty and ridiculousness, Ma Yingjun's approachability, Ma Zhuqing's grief and despair when he looked back, Xia Youqing's humility in the face of life and death, and the worry in his eyes. There was also a group of desolate people, their eyes were furious, they were fierce, and then they pounced out of the mountains and forests like a pack of hungry wolves.
At this time, two red dots appeared in Jiang Ning's eyes.
But he didn't know that it took a long time for this mood to calm down.
"I'm a little out of my cool. ”
He made a cup of tea.
There is also tea in this world, and there are many strange teas, such as a kind of tea, a piece of tea leaves is placed in a tea cup, and boiling water is poured into it, and the tea leaves immediately turn into a dragon, floating and sinking in the tea cup.
Some teas also have special effects, such as refreshing the mind, such as intellectualization and enlightenment, such as clearing the heart and suppressing demons, such as removing evil and cowardice...... Of course, these are very high-grade teas, even in Licheng, there are not many.
The tea leaves that Jiang Ning took out were brought by the Xiao family, and they were quite good, bitter and sweet, astringent and fragrant.
He sipped his tea slowly as he looked at the hourglass in the corner.
The night was getting deeper.
"You wait for my news. ”
"Dao Wei Shen, you must be careful. Yu Kai said.
"Needless to say. Jiang Ning took off his clothes, changed into a white short leather jacket with open arms, and with the help of Yu Kai and Dong Jiahao, he covered his exposed skin, including his face, with beeswax, and brought the prepared black hair and stained it on the honey wax.
As for Xiao Daimiao, he didn't move, he was a child of the Xiao family, and he was extra superior...... So at Jiang Ning's insistence, Yu Kai and the two were left, otherwise there would not even be a helper.
In addition, he is a little fat, except that the length of his hands and feet is slightly wrong, and he looks like a wild man from a distance in the night.
Ready, Jiang Ning looked outside, there are two points in time that are the most dangerous tonight, and this is the first dangerous point in time.
With Humber's divine sense, he could naturally find out if there were any people watching outside. But Humb can't stay, and if he stays, there will probably be people watching.
It stands to reason that there are four people, one congenital, three half-step congenital, Xiao Daimi is one year younger than Jiang Ning, Yu Kai and Dong Jia Hao are not very old, and it makes no sense to monitor them again. But who knows if the Heibo clan will send people to monitor, as long as they are monitored, with Jiang Ning's ability, most of them will not be able to find out...... Danger is coming!
