Chapter 54: Something Happened to the Caravan
Zhang Qing also took into account that he also needed a bookbox to travel, of course, although he had read, he was not a real scholar who traveled to study, he wanted to make a box mainly to decorate something, the most important thing is to put the mink in it!
Zhang Qing stayed, behind Zhang Yue's house was the forest, Zhang Qing went to the back to find a thick branch!
Some of the branches here are larger than the trees outside.
When Zhang Qing came back with a branch, Zhang Yue and Zhang were not at home.
He went to the woodhouse himself to look for tools, but found only an axe.
It's hard to get the branches into planks first, and you need to master the strength with precision and refinement!
Zhang Qing is using a dagger to carve out the mortise and tenon structure little by little, fortunately, Ai Qiu's dagger is very sharp, and it must be effortless, and Zhang Qing has not finished it after a morning's time.
Before it was finished, Zhang Yue came back, and when Zhang Yue came back, she raised her head with her chest up, followed by a large group of people.
Zhang Qing looked at this group of tall men in shock, everyone was taller and stronger than him, you must know that his anger is also one meter eight.
And these men are all taller than him, and the women are all on the same level as him.
Everyone dresses up in a similar style to Zhang Ye and Zhang Yue.
And it is obvious that two of them have different identities.
They wore jewelry made of animal bones on their heads, and Zhang Yue also opened her mouth to introduce, "These two are our eldest patriarchs, second patriarchs!" ”
"Hahaha, you are Zhang Qing's little brother!" The tall man stepped forward and held Zhang Qing's hand, "My name is Zhang Lu, and I am the patriarch of Zhangjia Village!" ”
"This is my younger brother, named Zhang Jie! It's the second patriarch! ”
"Hello two patriarchs, is there something going on?" Zhang Qing was a little puzzled.
Zhang Lu smiled, "A friend is here, of course I want to welcome you and invite you to dinner!" ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Yue spread her hands, "That's how we are here!" ”
"It's really a bit of a matter if it's casual, most of us here can't read, and we can't even write our own names, I want you to teach us, are you a scholar?" Zhang Xie also asked with a smile.
Their smiles, diametrically opposed to Zhang Qing's smiles, are sincere smiles from the heart.
Zhang Qingduo is polite.
Not being able to write a name is actually not a big deal, not to mention this mountain group that doesn't go out at all, even people in big cities outside, most of the ordinary people can't write and can't read!
Those who can read are in the minority.
After all, this is an ancient agrarian society.
However, Zhang Qing still nodded, "Okay!" ”
"Hahahaha, thank you, let's go, let's eat!"
Zhang Qing felt the enthusiasm again, and directly slaughtered the sheep and pigs, and entertained Zhang Qing alone, and the whole village was dispatched.
On a flat land, a large pot was put on, and the stew began directly, Zhang Qing had never seen such a stew, there were two things in total, one was meat, and the other was moldy cabbage.
Zhang Yue told him that the people here were like this, and it wasn't exactly to entertain him, but also to eat.
In this way, Zhang Qing's burden in his heart was lighter, and he killed two pigs and four sheep for him, even boiled and roasted, which was too grand.
There are many people, and the meals are also bold, Zhang Qing watched them eat deliciously, so he tried it, the moldy cabbage is called sauerkraut, it tastes sour, how to say it, it is not so delicious, but it is delicious here.
Because salt is a very precious material here, they can only bring back a little when they go out to do business with the demon clan.
And the people who they are now out to trade have not returned, and the salt has run out.
In this way, Zhang Qing lived here, and lived in Zhang Yue's house, but he lived with the stinky boy Zhang Ye.
Every day on the snow outside, he taught everyone how to write his name, Zhang Qing never thought that one day he would become someone else's husband, and everyone here called him Mr. Qing.
The people here are all surnamed Zhang, and when they call people with the surname Zhang, they are called by their first names.
Until one day, this village, which may not change for thousands of years, has undergone a little change.
Zhang Qing is still teaching people to write names in the snow as usual, and this is the last day, he has taught the whole village to write his own name, and every evening, he will tell stories to the children in the village.
On this day, he was telling a story, and Zhang Yue rushed into the house in a panic, "Everyone, gather over there in the square, the caravan is back!" ”
The children all stood up, they were a little confused, shouldn't they be happy when the caravan came back, how could they panic?
Everyone hurriedly ran out, leaving Zhang Qing alone and messy.
Zhang Qing also hurriedly ran out, and the place was the flat place where they ate, which was what they called the square, which was actually an open space.
A large number of people gathered in the square, and almost all of them were there.
Since Zhang Qing taught them to write every day, they still had status, and with this relationship, Zhang Qing was able to enter the crowd and find out what the two patriarchs were.
Only then did he realize why Zhang Yue was so flustered.
In front of the two patriarchs lay a row of corpses, only two of them were alive, all with a broken arm, and their eyes were full of anger.
"What's going on?" The Great Patriarch Zhang Lu roared angrily.
"Patriarch, the demon clan doesn't do business with me anymore!"
"If you don't do business, why do you hurt people?"
"They didn't hurt anyone on the surface, but on the way back outside, they called for the attack of the demon clan, snatched things, and killed two of our brothers!"
"We want to come back first, the demon clan is powerful!"
"But before entering the Sword Continent, I was attacked again, but fortunately I was saved by a few people!"
"But I didn't expect that after those people rescued us, they didn't let us go, and wanted to take us to a place, of course we refused!"
"The rest of the brothers were killed by them, and there are some more, and we really can't bring them back!"
"Deceive people too much, the demon clan, the human race, all bully our Zhang family?" The Great Patriarch shouted angrily.
"What should I do?"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Zhang Qing's eyes widened, who is this trying to kill? Demon clan or those people?
No one can beat it, no matter how powerful the people in this village are, there are only a few hundred households, although everyone can fight, but even if it is an old man and a child, it is less than two thousand, so big?
The demon clan will definitely not be able to defeat them, and the human race may be able to find those people and just take revenge on those people!
Zhang Qing wanted to stop everyone, but he couldn't interject at this time, but he thought that they shouldn't say that they would set off, so they had to prepare and prepare, and they would persuade them when the time came.
But Zhang Qing never expected that the Zhang family's action was so fast, they were prepared, but they just went back and put on their weapons, and then they were about to set off.
