The dinner was carried out in a warm atmosphere, and everyone exchanged glasses and exchanged lamps, and they were happy. Because the mission had already received the harvest in advance, everyone present was calm.

The meal lasted for an hour, and the last person finally burped and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Clapping his hands and beckoning a group of aunts and daughters-in-law to come in and clean up the mess, we can be regarded as a preliminary step into the rotten meat eater class, Li Kang will not do this thing of washing dishes by himself.

"Quietly, everybody. Li Kang watched the group of "beauties" leave with a smile, then turned to Yang Pingwei and said, "Fude, everyone is waiting, you can tell me." I've been holding back all day, and I can't wait to get to know the exotic beauty!"

"Hehe..."

"Ahem, I was about to tell the lord in detail!" Yang Pingwei stood up and walked to the aisle, "The students were ordered to visit this time, and they got nothing in the first five days, and they were almost exhausted, and their morale was completely gone. But there is no end to the road, and just as we were waiting to turn around, we happened to meet a group of natives who went out hunting. You may not believe it, but these natives were attracted by the smell of our flesh, and you don't know that they were like that, sniffing, their necks stretched out, and their saliva was dripping three feet..."

"Hahaha..." everyone listened to what he said vividly, and suddenly found it interesting.

"Oh, you're so lucky, a pot of meat has attracted a wave of local tyrants to you!" Li Kang was surprised, looked left and right, and joked with a smile.

"Hehe..."

"Hehe, what the lord said is very true, and the students also feel that they are lucky. ”

Regarding Li Kang's jokes, Yang Pingwei accepted all the orders and boasted complacently.

But when students say lucky, they don't mean just meeting a wave of local tyrants. After laughing, Yang Pingwei said a little mysteriously.

"Oh, could there be anything more beautiful than that?" Li Kang was very curious and put on a posture of listening.

"This wave of natives who were attracted by the smell of meat claimed to be from a tribe called 'Tanglin', and all the members of the tribe took 'Tanglin' as their clan. ”

"Tanglin Clan, how can there be a feeling of the ancient clan period in China. Li Kang muttered to himself, suddenly realized that he had interrupted someone else's speech, smiled apologetically, and said, "Fude continued." ”

"The students didn't dare to turn away the opportunity to come to the door, so we invited them to lunch. It is difficult for them to look directly at their food, presumably their usual food is not very good, which also shows that their productivity is not developed.

After they had eaten, the students took the opportunity to say that they wanted to visit their tribe and took out a part of the salt as a gift, and they readily agreed, and it was evident that our salt was very popular with them, and their attitude towards salt was like playing with a piece of heirloom porcelain, which was evident from what the students had seen and heard after arriving at the Tanglin tribe. After a pause, Yang Pingwei continued, "The Tanglin tribe is located on the eastern edge of a hilly area about a hundred miles northwest of us, and their clan name is probably derived from this.

Its people have black hair and black eyes, slightly dark skin, adult men are about five to six feet tall (about 1.6 to 1.8 meters), and women are four to five feet (about 1.3 to 1.6 meters), both men and women, all wholesale, topless, with animal skins around their waists, and their feet are bare. The men, women and children of the clan are all soldiers, and when they encounter the police, they are all soldiers, and they are beautiful in battle, they do not care for the old and the young, and they respect their strength, and their leader Dongling Daze is the strongest person in the tribe.

Strangely enough, however, this barbarian tribe worshipped the wise men so much that they also had positions under their head such as shamans, prophets, high priests, and the like, which they called 'morning geese', which were held by the eldest of the tribe, who believed that the elders were experienced and could guide the tribe, which was contrary to their usual habit of disrespecting the elders. ”

Is it contradictory? Li Kang is not strange at all, no matter which nationality has its contradictory side, what is the impression of the steppe nomads on us?—— they are hospitable, bold and magnificent, Genghis Khan and his father should have died on this cognition; on the other hand, they left us with the impression of being arrogant and unreasonable, burning, killing and looting all evil, full executioners, how to say that famous saying, "All the men who are higher than the wheels are killed, and the women are plundered as slaves", and my life motto of "a generation of heavenly pride" is simply bloody/ The naked bandit declaration, the specific content will not be said.

The white Europeans, who claim to be the representatives of civilization, are also virtuous, and while shouting about natural human rights, they are eager to kneel down and repent and shed tears of sympathy when they die on the side of the road. But on the other hand, racism, genocide, genocide, playing more than anyone else.

As for the people of our Great Celestial Empire, ahem... This needs to be avoided.

Li Kang's desertion did not hinder Yang Pingwei's narration, he continued: "Our arrival made all the Tanglin tribe very happy, just like a festival, singing and dancing, under inquiry, the students learned that their tribe rarely sees outsiders, we are the only outsiders who have reached their tribe in recent years, except for the regular intermarriage held with each other, this is a relatively closed tribe.

Unfortunately, although our goods are very popular, the Tanglin tribe is too small, less than 100 people, to eat at all.

Originally, the students just wanted to trade some gold and animal skins with them—these two things are worth trading with the Tanglin tribe—and then ended the trip directly, but who would have thought that within two days of our stay in the tribe, their leader told us good news, which is why the students said that we were lucky..."

After waiting for a long time, Yang Pingwei didn't look like he was going to continue.

Seeing the critical moment, Yang Pingwei sold Guanzi, and everyone looked at him angrily and denounced it loudly.

Some people were anxious and even secretly approached Feng Wenhan, Shan Cheng and others, hoping to get some first-hand information from them, but unfortunately, these people didn't know whether they respected Yang Pingwei or deliberately followed everyone's appetite, so they just kept silent.

"Fude, what kind of good news can you regard as great luck? Could it be that the daughter of the leader of Tanglin has taken a fancy to you and wants to recruit you as a husband in the village?" Li Kang pointed at Yang Pingwei, looking distressed, "Hey, it's hurting my right-hand man!"

Yang Pingwei couldn't help but laugh and watched Li Kang write and act there, a little like lifting a stone to hit his own feet, and then looking at the other people who followed and coaxed, shouting nonsense such as "see the horse", he suddenly wanted to cry without tears, and said with a wry smile: "Don't make fun of the students anymore, the students just say it." ”

"Why don't you say that quickly?" Li Kang said with a straight face.

"No!" Yang Pingwei recalled, "Tanglin Daze told me that they were going to the market and asked me if I was interested in going to play together. ”

"Rushing to the market?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they were overjoyed, they looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on Yang Pingwei.

When I first heard this word, I reacted the same way as you, at first I was incredulous, thinking that there was a market in this dilapidated place, but then I thought that there was no need for this Tanglin leader to lie to us, and he didn't know our purpose. Therefore, the students instantly had the feeling that someone brought a pillow as soon as they wanted to doze off, and they were simply ecstatic. ”

Everyone nodded slightly, and after thinking about it, they could understand Yang Pingwei's mood at that time, so they didn't disturb each other's memories and listened silently.

"In order to catch the market, I called everyone together and brought with me all the things that were left, which proved to be very useful.

From the Tanglin tribe to the platform where the market is located, we walked for a total of two days and one night. It is said to be a bazaar, but in fact, it is an open place agreed by nearby tribes in order to communicate with each other.

Everyone drove the livestock, carried all kinds of strange goods, according to their respective ethnic groups, randomly found an open space to set up tents, set up a stall, put the goods to be exchanged on it, and then sat and waited for the front customers to come to the door.

We came with the Tanglin tribe, so our booth was set up right next door to them.

And if you want to exchange any goods back, you go to the stalls of other tribes to check what you like, bargain on the spot, pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other.

There are dozens of people in each tribe, five or six people at the few, and there are few lone walkers, presumably because the surrounding environment is treacherous and not suitable for living alone. ”

When Yang Pingwei said this, his face was filled with pride, even Feng, Shan and the others who were sitting in the seat were the same, it seemed that they were in the limelight in the bazaar.

"These natives, regardless of the size of the tribe, are the same as the Tanglin tribe, although they are not as good as drinking blood, but they are not civilized, where have they seen crystal clear salt grains and extremely sharp iron instruments, the stall has just been rolled out, it immediately attracted a part of the aborigines wandering in the market, and then the eyes of the market were all sucked over, and the gold and jade were stuffed into our arms like worthless stones, and then happily picked up a shovel, a bag of sea salt, and quickly hid it in their own tents, which was fast, and we were afraid that we would regret it.

The students experienced a handful of windfall profits called cargo farming. Yang Pingwei sighed, he used to be poor jingling, saying that he was the "scholar" at the head of the four people, but in fact, he was far worse than the businessmen at the end of the nominally four people. This hurt Yang Pingwei's self-esteem very much, and I have to say that it was a sad past.

Because the sale was too hot, the students had to stop it, and the rest of the goods were all used by the students as bargaining chips to inquire about the news, so that they really got a lot of useful information from the mouths of this class of natives. ”

Li Kang was in high spirits for a while, staring at Yang Pingwei with burning eyes, and said eagerly: "What news have you heard?"

God is pitiful, he has long been unhappy with the current status quo with black eyes, but there is no way.

The others pricked up their ears and focused.

"According to them, the forest where we are located is called the 'Far Corner Forest', which stretches hundreds of miles from east to west, thousands of miles from north to south, the endless sea to the east, the Hengduan Mountains to the south, the Wilderness of Atonement to the west, and the ice fields of thousands of miles to the north.

And our location is close to the southeast, and the mountains to the south are the branches of the Hengduan Mountains, which are considered the extreme south and east of Antarctica. ”

"The endless sea, the Hengduan Mountains, the thousands of miles of ice fields, these are all easy to understand, so what is the explanation of the Atonement Wilderness?" Zhao Siye touched his beard and said with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, wait for the student to come slowly. Yang Pingwei smiled at Zhao Siye and said: "To say that our position is advantageous, the sea and mountains form a natural barrier to block the threat from the southeast and southeast, and we can mainly guard against the northwest side." In fact, that's what the natives say.

The reason why they coexist peacefully is to guard against barbarians from the north, you should pay attention, this is a group of barbarians who even the natives look down on, you can imagine their ferocity, I heard that many of them are warriors who stand out from the harsh environment of the ice field, and they are very difficult to deal with. Unfortunately, this is also the case, even if the southern natives form a loose alliance, they are no match for the northern barbarians, who are basically more defeated and less victorious, and are forced to move south.

Fortunately, the barbarians in the north are not of the same mind, and they often fight among themselves, so the southern indigenous alliance can hold on.

In addition to the north, the next turn is the west, and hehe, the students guarantee that you will be more interested in the west than the north. ”

"More interested?" Li Kang repeated it carefully, suddenly thought of something, stood up suddenly, and said meaninglessly: "There are things or people in the civilized world in the west?!"

"Uh..." Yang Pingwei was stunned, he wanted to pretend to be forced silently, but he was broken by Li Kang's words, and he was extremely depressed for a while, so he had to send a sycophant, "Lord Shengming!"

Rumble!

Everyone sat up straight subconsciously in shock, and they didn't care about much, and they exchanged words one after another, especially the members of the mission, who received key attention.

Li Kang also had mixed tastes, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Quiet! What kind of noisy and noisy thing is it?"

"I'll wait for nothing, please forgive the lord!" Li Kang's voice still had an effect, and everyone stood up to apologize.

"Okay, sit down! Fude, you go on. Li Kang waved his hand lightly, and then said to Yang Pingwei.

"No!" Yang Pingwei said, "the west is called the Wilderness of Atonement because it is a famous place of exile and a place of escape for criminals in various countries, and it is a three-way zone, and there are currently three cities, namely the City of Atonement, the City of Sin, and the City of Chaos, which are full of all kinds of murderers, robbers, robbers, rapists, habitual thieves, losers in court struggles, religious heretics, deserters, fugitive slaves, and careerists, or simply idle and boring explorers. ”

Listening to Yang Pingwei's introduction, everyone frowned, and several old masters looked even more disgusted.

Li Kang was also speechless, what is this, to atone for the wilderness, to redeem your sister!

"And it was because of their presence that the natives learned that a shiny stone like gold could be exchanged for something. Of course, it is impossible for those villains to trade fairly with the natives, so the natives only know that the gold is useful, but they do not know the specific value. Yang Pingwei continued.

The corners of Li Kang's mouth twitched constantly, this is the feeling, this is the taste, the proper sense of the European hooligan ruffians in the Age of Discovery, who deceived the Indian white rabbit.
