Chapter 129: Elephant Village II
Fenghua County, Xiang Village.
This is an ancient village, few people are visited, isolated from the world, and the people of the village live a secluded life on weekdays, and the contact with the outside world is very weak.
Wang Bao is the only clansman who has left the village in the past hundred years, and soon after he went out, he met Han Ping to buy elephants, and after learning Han Ping's identity, he brought them here.
Han Ping looked at it, and the scene in front of him was simply a paradise, with no quarrel with the world, low wooden houses one by one, slowly rising with smoke swirling up.
The yellow-haired people sat on the ground, talking and laughing, everyone's faces were full of smiles, and the sudden visit of Han Ping broke the calm atmosphere.
The most distinctive thing is that a giant elephant walks on the side of the road, and from time to time makes a heavy elephant chirping, and the ground seems to shake with the elephant's movement.
There is someone on the elephant's back, and he is staring at Han Ping and others unkindly at the moment.
There was a lot of discussion around, the children hid behind the adults, their little hands were tightened into fists, and Han Ping had a knife in his hand, no different from the murderer.
"It's Wang Bao, what is he bringing these people here for, go and inform the Great Elder. "Someone recognized Wang Bao, Wang Bao was originally from their village, and if it weren't for Wang Bao, outsiders wouldn't be able to find it here.
"Don't panic, you're here to buy elephants. Han Ping looked at the panicked crowd in front of him, and at this moment, these people actually took out rakes, woodcutters, etc. as weapons.
Han Ping had to sigh that the folk customs of the ancient village were fierce, and they would draw their swords and shout to kill if they didn't agree with each other.
"Elephant, what do you want it to do? A burly man walked over, with a wary expression, and then looked at Wang Bao and said, "You were asked to go out to find a way to survive in the village, but now you are bringing outsiders into the village." ”
Wang Bao blurted out: "I brought them here for the sake of the village, I want to see the Great Elder......"
The burly man glanced at Han Ping and the seven people very unkindly, and then glared at Wang Bao, obviously dissatisfied with Wang Bao bringing outsiders to the village.
"Come with me!" The burly man's tone was extremely unkind, Han Ping and the man in blue looked at each other a little helplessly, and the man in blue still had an apologetic look in his eyes.
He looked at Han Ping and said, "Han Weishou, I don't know if that's the case, Brother Wang Bao didn't say that at the beginning. ”
"Two, it's me who didn't tell you the truth. Wang Bao was quite sorry, if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he wouldn't have made such a decision.
If it weren't for Wang Bao concealing the truth about the "elephant" in the village, Han Ping and the others would not have come to this dangerous primeval jungle to suffer.
Han Ping smiled bitterly and didn't speak, they didn't dare to offend Wang Leopard now.
Wang Bao is a person from the village, and the people here are very strong, Han Ping can't deal with this person, and the jungle is full of tigers and leopards poisonous insects, and it is difficult to escape without the secret medicine of the villagers.
After walking for a while, Han Ping and the people outside the low stone cave were stunned.
The door of the stone cave was very low, less than one meter three, and they had to kneel or lie down to enter if they wanted to enter.
Wang Bao said to Han Ping: "Wait a moment, the Great Elder is inside." ”
The burly man also stood outside the cave, his attitude as respectful as that of Wang Leopard.
After waiting for a while, a rickety white-haired old man came out of it, and this old man was a thin old man in his early thirties of less than one meter.
"You are the ones who buy elephants. Although the Great Elder was thin, his voice was very loud and shocking.
"Great Elder, I really intend to buy it, and I am willing to pay a thousand taels of silver. Han Ping bowed over and looked at the Great Elder, it was really tiring to talk to such a person of high status but short stature.
"If I am the patron saint of Elephant Village, I will not sell it to you, so let's go!" Although the eldest old man is short, his momentum is not small, and he has the highest status in Elephant Village.
"Great Elder. Wang Bao stood up at this moment, he also bowed his body, and whispered a few words in the ear of the Great Elder.
"Wait a moment, I will convince the Great Elder that I won't let you run in vain. After saying a word to Han Ping, Wang Bao and the Great Elder left and went to talk elsewhere, while the burly man with an unkind face looked at them here.
Han Ping can only wait.
It seems that Zhang Fang deliberately asked him to find it, if this matter is not done well, his status in Zhang Anxin will become lower, and he will be replaced by others.
After a long time, the Great Elder Wang Bao came back, and looked at Wang Leopard's appearance as if he had finished what he had said.
"If you want something like this, I can agree, and even if someone in the village opposes it, I will give it to you without taking a penny. "The Great Elder stood a little farther away, lest everyone should bow over and speak, which would be very difficult.
"Great Elder, elephants must not be sold!" The burly man was anxious, the reason why their village was called Elephant Village was because the elephant was their totem, their relatives and not livestock.
"Shut up. The Great Elder interrupted in a deep voice, and the burly man didn't dare to say anything, the Great Elder said everything in the village, but it was not something he could refute.
"Why is this?" Han Ping knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and the Great Elder didn't even want money, and he was sure that there were more perverted conditions.
"As long as you promise me one condition, as if I give you free of charge, and I will give you something as good. ”
"What conditions?" Han Ping's expression was solemn, Zhang Fang only said that he would buy an elephant but did not say what conditions he would agree, if it was beyond the acceptable range, he would rather not have an elephant, and would rather accept Zhang Fang's punishment.
The Great Elder looked at everyone present, there were many people talking too much to keep secrets, and it was obviously not an occasion to speak.
The Great Elder spoke, "You come with me." ”
Han Ping looked at the people around him and knew what the Great Elder meant, so he walked away with him.
"I heard that your Haisha Gang is one of the nine major gangs in Yunzhou, with huge power and a large number of people, and there are few things you can't do, I don't know if what Lao Yu said is right. "The Great Elder's eyes were very peaceful, and there was wisdom in the peace, the wisdom of life.
"This is natural, my Haisha Gang is one of the nine major gangs in Yunzhou, everyone knows it, and its manpower is all over Yunzhou, and its reputation is far and wide......"
When it comes to the Haisha Gang, Han Ping is extremely proud, and his mouth is full of words, as the head of the Haisha Gang's Feiying Hall, his status is higher than that of ordinary small faction masters, and he is even more beautiful.
The Great Elder said: "I heard that this time it is the hall master of your gang who wants to buy the elephant, so the old man not only wants to give the hall master of your gang a gift today, but the elephant is also a gift, I only hope that your hall master will promise the old man one thing." ”
"This...."Han Ping didn't dare to let go of the decision for Zhang at will, and was about to shirk it, when the words of the Great Elder had already come.
"Han Weishou, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Han Ping's careful thinking could not escape the eyes of the Great Elder.
He took out a red pill and handed it to Han Pingdao: "This is a rare treasure in my Elephant Village, and I plan to give it to you today." ”
"This is the Golden Saint Pill, which is a pill made by gathering hundreds of treasure medicine essences, and I only have five in Xiangcun, so I will give it to you today. ”
The Great Elder smiled kindly, looking quite kind.
"Jin Shengdan. Han Ping was taken aback and solemnly took the pill from the Great Elder's hand.
