Chapter 558: Go deep into the wilderness with the crowd
readx;
The dry bone patriarch stroked his white whiskers and said: "The stone buns mined this time, each team must hand over fifty percent of the gains, of which thirty percent will be used as reserves, and the remaining two percent will be rewarded to the winning team!"
"Good!" the five teams shouted in unison, and the eyes of each man sparkled eagerly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć When the women and children heard this, they all talked about it, because this time the reward was much richer than the last time. Last time, I just took out 10% as a reward.
The Dry Bone Patriarch stretched out his hand and pressed it, and everyone was suddenly silent.
The Dry Bone Patriarch continued: "And the individual who quarries the most stone buns, the stone buns mined as a reward belong to the individual!"
"Okay!" the stone baby was the first to shout, his face full of excitement, as if he was already the champion.
"Okay!" Shui Wa was not far behind, and said loudly, he was also confident, because the knot on the strip of cloth tied on his head represented the number of times their team won.
The Dry Bone Patriarch smiled and nodded at the water baby and the stone baby, he also knew that the leader of this quarrying bun would definitely be produced from these two people, and these two people were also the candidates for the next patriarch.
"Take it out!" said the Dry Bone Patriarch softly.
Immediately, two men each held a clay jar, and two men came to the crowd with a stack of clay bowls.
When the men in the team saw the clay jar, they licked their lips, as if they knew what was delicious in the jar.
"Pour wine for the good sons of the clan!" the dry bone patriarch ordered, and the two men opened the clay jar and poured it into the thick bowl.
Ling Han saw that a black liquid flowed out of the jar, and it also emitted a sour and moldy smell, but when those men saw the liquid, their eyes lit up, as if they had seen jade liquid elixir.
The men who poured the wine were quick with their hands and feet, and poured a bowl of black liquid at the bottom of each of them, and those men held the pottery bowl, their hands trembled, and their eyes seemed to have tears of excitement.
Ling Han naturally got a bowl, and under the smell of sour and moldy, Ling Han smelled the fragrance of wine, perhaps this was the best wine in the eyes of the clansmen.
Tianbao frowned, looked at the black liquid in the bowl, and thought to himself: Is this wine? There is no aroma at all, it is much worse than the 'stuffy donkey' in his iron guard.
The Dry Bone Patriarch picked up a bowl of wine, raised it above his head, and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the old man is waiting for you to return with a full load!" After speaking, he drank the bowl of wine.
"Victory!" the men shouted, holding up the clay bowls, and then drained the wine as well.
Ling Han drank the wine in one gulp, only to feel that although the wine smelled bad, but when he drank it in his mouth, it was actually very clear, and when he swallowed it in his stomach, he suddenly felt that his whole body seemed to be burning hot.
Tianbao didn't want to drink this strange thing, but everyone drank it, so they had to hold the bowl and pour it into their mouths, Fang touched the wine, Tianbao's small eyes suddenly glowed, this wine tasted even better than the 'stuffy donkey' he was used to, and after drinking the bowl of wine, Tianbao licked his lips with some nostalgia.
"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, each group received a worn-out bag, and walked towards the valley mouth in an orderly manner.
At this time, the little baby suddenly ran to the water baby and said, "Here you go!" Immediately, he took out a black stone bun from his arms, which was the one that Ling Han gave him last night.
Shuiwa patted the head of the fine baby, but did not answer, but shouted loudly: "Go!" The team began to move forward.
The Dry Bone Patriarch and the rest of the clan have been sending the team to the valley mouth, looking at the distant figure of the team, the Dry Bone Patriarch silently muttered: "God bless my clan, God bless my clan!"
Ling Han and Tianbao followed Shui Wa's team, Tianbao was inconvenient to walk, just walked for a while, and then fell to the end of the team.
Shui Wa said loudly: "You two hurry up!"
When Tianbao heard this, the rebellious emotions in his heart suddenly appeared, and he actually stood still. When Ling Han saw this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Tianbao, let's go quickly, don't delay everyone's time!"
Tianbao's small eyes narrowed and said, "I just can't get used to his face!"
Seeing that Tianbao stopped, Shui Wa hurriedly stopped the team, and those men looked back at Ling Han and Tianbao one after another, with a complaining look on their faces.
Shui Wa ran to Ling Han's side in a few steps and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
Tianbao said: "I can't walk, you go first, we will chase you for a while!"
Shui Wa glanced at Tianbao with disdain and said, "If you are afraid of slipping away, just say it, don't beat around the bush!"
When Tianbao heard this, he came up angrily and said, "Do you really think that Lao Tzu is willing to participate in this Laoshi festival and what kind of broken stone buns are picked?"
As soon as those men heard that Tianbao actually insulted the beliefs of the clan, they all gathered around and began to condemn them loudly.
"You shouldn't have brought these two strangers!"
"Those who are dragging their feet, don't take them with you!"
"I don't know what the patriarch thinks!"
Shui Wa remained silent, waved her hand and said to those men: "You go first, don't delay time, I will chase you in a while!"
After hearing this, those men all muttered and turned around, greeting Ling Han and Tianbao's ancestors.
Ling Han saw the team walking away, and said apologetically to Shui Wa: "Brother Shui Wa, I'm really sorry, my brother ......."
"You don't have to explain it for me!" Tempo began to make a fuss.
Shui Wa said happily on her face: "You know each other, you know that you can't do such a dangerous thing as quarrying buns, and it's too late to go back at this time, and don't go back to the ** cave in the end, because you are a deserter, and you are the most despised person in the ** hole!"
Ling Han heard Shui Wa say that the quarrying bun was actually very dangerous, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the matter, the stone bun still bites?"
When Tianbao heard this, he was also interested and wanted to listen to the water baby's explanation.
It's just that Shui Wa pulled her face and said: "You don't want to go, why are you asking this? It's better to leave quickly, the farther you go, the better, cowards are not worthy of being in a group with me!"
Tianbao saw that the water baby actually looked down on him, and immediately became angry, and said loudly: "Don't say anything about stone buns, even if the lion and tiger see me, they have to be obedient, who is the coward?"
Shui Wa still said calmly: "I think it's better for you not to go, so as not to lose your life!"
"Lao Tzu is scared! Look at who picked more stone buns today!" Tianbao couldn't stand the agitation of the water baby, and then quickly moved the white bone cane and chased after the people in front.
When the water baby saw Tianbao moving forward, she was happy in her heart, and thought: This kid's brain is not so bright.
Ling Han looked at Tianbao's stumbling appearance, and was still a little worried in his heart, so he asked, "Brother Shuiwa, tell me, what is this stone bun, is it still dangerous?"
Shui Wa looked at Ling Han's eyes, and saw that although Ling Han's eyes were a little worried, there was no trace of fear, so she said: "There is no danger in this stone bun, just hide a little bit and run faster, the main thing is that we have to cross a pass, where are the barbarians guarding!"
"Barbarian?" Ling Han asked in surprise.
"Exactly!" said the water baby.
"Does that barbarian have a martial arts cultivation?" Ling Han asked nervously.
"They don't have any cultivation, but they have rough skin and thick flesh, and the power of any barbarian is equivalent to a master of relaxing muscles, fortunately, they are small in number, and they don't know how to form formations, otherwise, our people would have been wiped out by them a long time ago!" Shui Wa received a hint from the patriarch that he wanted to take good care of Ling Han, so he patiently explained to Ling Han.
"Don't worry, since we participated, we won't hold you back!" Ling Han said.
"I hope so, you'd better follow me!" said the water baby, and walked forward.
The two of them took a big stride, and after a while, they saw that the teams in front of them were all gathered in a mountain pass, and Tianbao was already in the team. When those men saw Tianbao's return, they just hurried silently, and their hostility towards him eased slightly.
Ling Han asked, "Why don't these people leave?"
"The mountain pass ahead can only be passed by one person, and after passing this mountain pass, you will enter the territory of the barbarians, and the stone bun is there!" said Shui Wa.
Only then did Ling Han know that it turned out that quarrying buns not only tested eyesight, but also risked being attacked by barbarians, no wonder it was not easy to pick more.
"Let's go!" Shui Wa prompted, Ling Han looked up and saw that Fang Cai's team had already passed, so he ran towards the mountain pass with Shui Wa.
