Chapter 140: Feng Ang doesn't know how to operate
Liang Baoyu is a serious earl of the Tang Dynasty, and he has perfume and silver mirror in his hands, and there are more workers in the textile workshop than all the people in the village combined, and he wants to repay the kind people in the village for their acceptance and hospitality, and there are really too many choices.
But the premise of all this enabled him to find the official mansion of the Han people and prove his identity as Yongxingbo.
Even Xiao Wu didn't think it would be of much use to reveal his identity to these wingmen.
The title of the bureaucrat is the collective name of the Han people and the government for the Lingnan natives, this village is called Mengyue Village, the people in the village take Meng as their surname, call themselves Mengren, and have nothing to do with the nomadic peoples of the grassland in later generations.
Xiao Wu suggested that he could ask the kind elder to send someone to the nearby city to report Liang Baoyu's whereabouts to the government there, not only could the two of them be saved, but presumably those officials would also have rewards.
"You're thinking too simply, or too utilitarian."
Liang Baoyu pointed to the luggage stacked in the corner of the room, whether it was a crocodile skin used as a shield or a snakeskin bag full of various supplies, all of them were completely placed there, no one turned them over, and no one had the slightest curiosity about these things, "Reward the people in the village with gold and silver, I'm afraid they won't look down on it at all...... Their perception of wealth is completely different from ours, and instead of giving them money, it is better to give them food. ”
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement: "That banana forest!" ”
"That's right, I don't know how many years that banana forest has grown, and ten people from Mengyue Village can feed it! It's less than a day's journey from here, and I don't know why the people in the village didn't find out. ”
Liang Baoyu began to carefully recall what he had seen and heard along the way, and suddenly realized: "It's that big river!" After the river dried up, the two of us were blocked by mountains and rocks and had to make a detour, so we came to Mengyue Village, before the big river blocked the people in the village, to explore on the other side! ”
With the collapse of the sky and the earth that Liang Baoyu and Xiao Wu witnessed, the river that continuously injected living water into the waterhole was completely swallowed up by the karst cave where the earth cracked, many days have passed, and the silt on the riverbed has long been dry and hard, and even from the time when Liang Baoyu and Xiao Wu hurried along the river five days ago, they found that the riverbed has begun to grow with various plants.
At that time, Liang Baoyu speculated that the cave hidden under the waterhole must be connected to one or more underground rivers, and it must be difficult for that river to appear in the world again after today.
"I'll go and talk to the elders, presumably the village will not refuse a natural granary."
The population of Mengyuezhai is still too small, so in Liang Baoyu's view, there must be a huge deviation in the climbing of the science and technology tree.
There is a tie-dye craft in the village, and he also knows how to cultivate grain, but he is not good at fishing, and he is full of awe and fear of the once flowing river.
"The river that Xiao Langjun said has indeed dried up for many days, and the people in the village have picked up a lot of fish and shrimp from there, but the other side of the river has not had time to explore."
The elders are not too keen on exploring unfamiliar areas, living in the jungle surrounded by mountains, any new adventure must be cautious and cautious, here every name and surname of the ferocious beast has a fixed territory, Mengyue Zhai can thrive here to this day, relying on the territory laid by the ancestors.
The law of the jungle is vividly embodied here, the beasts at the top of the food chain will consciously abide by some rules, once anyone enters other territories, it will be regarded as a provocation and a declaration of war, and the Mengyue Village has long been regarded as one of them by the beasts who occupy the territory, and has been recognized by everyone, and the people in the village also have the same concept.
"There is a herd of elephants on the other side of the big river, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke, you should be able to coexist in peace, so there are no other fierce beasts in that area, Xiao Wu and I have met a leopard in the banana forest along the way, and the leader of the elephant herd has been killed with tusks."
Liang Baoyu could understand the elder's concern, but since he said the existence of the banana forest, he must have considered all aspects, "Elder, that is a huge granary, and the bananas produced every year can't be eaten by the people in the village who eat half and throw half away!" Bananas can be dried into dried bananas and stored carefully, so there will be no shortage of them all year round! ”
Eat half of the food and throw it away, and you can't eat it all year round...... A series of sensitive words stirred the elder's nerves, and after thinking about it, the elder began to gather the young hunters in the stockade.
First of all, it is necessary to find out whether the banana grove is really as lush as Liang Baoyu described, and secondly, to investigate whether there will be other fierce beasts along the way, and after everything is confirmed, the large army in the stockade will be dispatched.
Liang Baoyu rushed to the banana grove with the young hunters with mulberry bows and firewood knives to distinguish the traces of wild beasts in the jungle, and after seeing the gift of the green ocean, the leading Menghu knelt in the banana grove and wept!
"Brother Han, the most beautiful gift you brought to Mengyue Village in the world!"
Meng Hu's eyes were swollen with tears, "The Feng family warriors in Jinxing City are constantly begging for food, and those in the village who were originally able to eat enough have been hungry since last year...... The moon worship meeting that was originally held once a month has also been changed to once every six months...... Yesterday's moon worship party almost depleted the last stock of food in the village, and the elders said that they would be happy for another night before everyone starved......"
Jinxingcheng is the name of the bureaucrats, and Yongzhou is the name of the renaming of the Tang Dynasty.
There is Feng An's territory, his mother's Madame Xian's prestige is familiar even to Liang Baoyu, Feng Ang himself is even more powerful, and the terrifying name of Aung Shan is determined with one arrow, so that Liang Baoyu directly divided this Geng Guogong of the Tang Dynasty into the ranks of heavy artillery snipers!
Unlike those earth kings who like to marry their sisters and sisters, the Feng family has superior strength and no fools, and with the wisdom of the elders of Mengyuezhai, they can't trick the warriors of the Feng family who come to collect grain, so the people in the village began to starve.
"Ah Hu, from now on, the people in the village will never have to go hungry again!"
Liang Baoyu couldn't understand why Feng Ang occupied such a large territory in Lingnan and had convenient conditions beyond the reach of others, so why he still stared at the food in the bureaucratic village, and could only say that this Geng Guogong didn't know how to operate, "Let's eat our stomachs first, and then rest for one night, and go back to the village tomorrow to call someone to pick bananas!" ”
More than a dozen hunters cheered and rushed into the banana grove, and the yellow-orange bananas were exceptionally sweet!
Meng Hu refused the proposal to waste a night's time, he had to rush back to the village overnight to call people, so much food given by God, he saw it in his eyes, and his heart was anxious!
"Okay, at least five of us will return to the stockade together, and by the way, bring back the handsaw in my luggage...... If there is someone in the village who knows how to work as a carpenter, bring them with their tools! ”
