Chapter 108: The Herdsman's Invitation
"They've found us. Cao Jue suddenly interrupted the crow's words, "Look. ”
In the camp in the distance, someone should have seen the four people on the mound, and there was a little confusion. Suddenly the girls gathered together and chattered something, and then some of them hurried into the largest tent, and the young men who were busy by the fire also gathered around the girls, and looked in the direction of their fingers towards the mound.
Soon, from the largest tent, several middle-aged people came out surrounded by an old man who looked like he was in his seventies. Several people looked up the mound and whispered to each other for a while, and finally one of the middle-aged men made a series of body movements towards the position of the four.
Anyone who has been active in the grassland knows that there is a unique method of communication in the grassland with a wide field of vision and endless vision, which has been handed down since ancient times. Similar to the flag language when sailing on the sea, when two nomadic groups are far away from each other, they will use a very large sign language to talk to each other, and it is often clear at a glance whether it is good or evil, friend or foe.
Of course, no one of the four people present happened to know Prairie Sign Language, even if it was a crow who read ancient books, at most he could only know the existence of this method of communication from ancient books, and even Mi Xin, who often traded in the grassland, could not have access to Prairie Sign Language in this era of relying more on radios and loudspeakers. However, although the other party does not know the specific content of the sign language, many times the body language is common, and the four of them can at least barely see that the other party is showing goodwill and expressing their willingness to invite.
"They're inviting us to be guests. The crow's expression was very strange, "Tsk, I didn't expect it to be a group of very hospitable herdsmen." ”
"There's something in your words. Mi Xin squinted thoughtfully at the crow and asked, "You seem to have guessed their identities just now, don't you tell me?"
"Hehehehe, it's too scary to say it, I'm afraid you'll be scared, so it's better not to say it. The crow pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "Since people have invited, let's not go over and sit, it will inevitably refute people's face, hehe, it is better to go over and sit together for a while, I heard that the nomadic tribe boiled mutton has a rough taste and delicious meat, compared to those imitations in the city now, I don't know how much, if you don't taste it yourself, wouldn't it be a trip to the grassland for nothing." ”
"But, Mr. Raven, what about your injuries. The more relaxed and calm the crow said, the more sure Mi Xin was, the fortune and misfortune of this trip were unpredictable, she didn't think about the problem of retreating, since the other party sent an invitation, it is impossible for the four of them to retreat, otherwise, one is like the crow said to refute the face of others, many herdsmen in the grassland are short-tempered, they value face very much, and they are refuted with face, even if there is no hostility, maybe they will fight because of this, and the second is that once they flee from the wind, it will make the other party feel that they are afraid, even if the original hostility is not firm, under the strengthening of this feeling, it will become firm, so everyone can only choose to go to the appointment now。 But the crow had just been injured a lot, and it was not the best time to start a war, so Mi Xin persuaded with some concern, "It's better for you to answer here, and the three of us will go over." ”
"No kidding, Boss Mi. The crow calmly waved his hand at the herdsmen below the mound and said with a smile, "I'm not fragile enough to be too weak to support this small injury." If that's the case, I'll retreat, and I'm afraid I'll die laughed at the cat when I go back. ”
"Give it up. "The more dangerous the place, the more energetic he goes, and you can't convince him to stay." And he knows his own situation, I don't think he is the kind of person who will commit suicide, even if a person like him really wants to die, he will drag half the world to be buried with him. ”
"Hehehehehe, it's still Rose who understands me. For Rose's evaluation, the crow was proud and said happily, "It's you, Boss Mi, you are still ...... Forget it, it's impossible to think about it, let's go together. ”
I wanted Mi Xin to stay and not enter the other party's camp, but before the crow could speak, he dispelled his mind. Of course, it is impossible to leave Mi Xin here alone, that would be murder, so if you want Mi Xin to stay, you must leave Cao Jue here.
It is not impossible to assign tasks in this way, but it is too obvious to leave two people, and it is clear that they are hostile and guarded, and it is unknown how the herders who sent the invitation will react. The situation has not yet reached the most unfavorable time, and the speculation between himself and Rose is just a guess, and there is no need to intensify the contradiction now. What's more, even if his and Rose's guesses are confirmed, with the strength of the three of them, Crow is confident that he will bring Mi Xin out safely.
Therefore, there was no need for the crow to say anything more, he waved his hand and greeted everyone, and took the lead in the direction of the herdsman's camp, behaving as usual between actions, and it was completely impossible to see that he was still in a bloody state a few hours ago.
The distance between the herdsmen's camp is not too far, only more than 100 meters, and it only takes a few seconds to reach the speed. However, the four of them maintained a normal walking speed and slowly and leisurely moved towards the camp, after all, although the crow did not say it directly, everyone knew in their hearts that they might not be able to encounter anything good this time.
"What's wrong with their camp?" Taking advantage of the fact that the camp was still some distance away, Cao Jue directly raised the question in his heart, "Why don't you say it directly?"
"Because he never speaks directly. Rose had already thought about how complex the crow's thoughts were, including observing Cao Jue and Mi Xin's reactions by being suddenly shocked without warning, so as to judge their attitude towards each other, and thus determine their own behavior. Rose didn't want to ruin the crow's plan, but she felt it was a bit too risky, so she corrected the details and prompted slightly, "Hunting Bow, don't you think their tent is a bit big?"
"Hehehehehe. The crow did not object to the hint of the rose, and even added, "Theoretically, when the nomads moved, they carried with them all the necessities. I don't think they'll be bored enough to wander the prairie with a house they can't live in. Looking at their tents, the smallest can accommodate about a dozen people, is it necessary for them to bring so many tents, or do they really have so many people?"
"Impossible. Mi Xin said in surprise on the side, "There are really so many people gathered together, and the demon spirit has already been lured over." ”
"That's right. The crow smiled and said, "Unless there is a situation, well, they have already come out, we think right, the answer will be revealed soon." ”
The four of them walked not far from the camp, and several herdsmen who had invited them before had come out to greet them, and when the distance between the two sides reached a certain point, the crow showed a signature smile on his face, and he knew that this time he had unfortunately guessed correctly.
Cao Jue, who had always been calm, suddenly changed his face when he approached the position where he could already sense the other party's energy fluctuations, and his right hand was already pressed on the hunting bow behind his back, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Xenomorphs." ”
