Chapter 32: What's New
After the woman left, Andy was left in Galen's house for the time being.
First, he released the liquor stored in the Pip-Boy.
Looking back, the hangman crouched beside Galen and didn't know what he was doing.
He rushed over and pulled him away.
"What do you want to do? A drunk old man, you also want to plot against you? ”
The hangman shook his head and sat down in Galen's homemade chair not far away.
"He's not my thing."
Andy stared at his face and felt a chill, could this guy still be a ......
"How so? You used to cook a lot, didn't you? ”
The hangman had a place to sit and began to fall asleep again, I don't know why he was always in this state, sometimes Andy wondered if he was suffering from some brain disease in middle age, otherwise why sometimes it looked like intermittent psychosis, sometimes like a disabled person with weak hands and feet, and liked to sleep? He couldn't tell how old the hangman was, the large number of scars on his face made him almost disfigured, and combined with the rough and dark hands and feet and the same scarred body, he could only assume that the man was probably over forty years old.
"Almost, but I killed them all in the end.... I can't help it. ”
He lowered his head and muttered, then held out a finger and pointed at Galen.
"Can you understand what this old man is saying?"
Andy listened, and Galen's gibberish was nothing more than a bunch of noise that didn't seem to make any sense.
"You think he's talking?"
The hangman nodded.
"He's talking, he's saying he's going to drink, he's saying he's going to need help with his work..... This old man also seems to be very interested in a few women who already have families, and even seems to have practiced something...."
Andy was in a state of confusion, whether I had crossed over or he was too cranky, and those nonsense sounded like noise to him, and he couldn't perceive the meaning at all.
"You.... Are you sure you didn't make it up yourself? ”
The hangman looked up, a meaningful smile on his face.
"You don't understand this... The old man spoke the old black foot, and the people who came in didn't understand the language of these natives at all, and they didn't start to change until something happened, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get in here at all, because you wouldn't even understand what they were saying. ”
Andy was surprised to learn the news, and he suddenly realized one thing, that is, in these remote places, even the language has been distorted.... Not every place will use a lingua franca.
"So you know what that is?"
The hangman nodded again, but his eyelids began to close again.
“.... Blackfoot was in great trouble for their stupid actions and faced extermination, but luckily... Someone to help.... Therefore they revere the man and imitate his habits... At the same time, it is also to avoid the recurrence of misunderstandings. ”
As he spoke, the man fell asleep again.
Andy was a little speechless as he watched the two old men in the room fall asleep, turned around and left the decadent house, and he walked towards the main body of Blackfoot Village, all the way to Korhoti.
Korhoti was very busy, talking to a group of natives about something, and after listening carefully for a while, Andy realized that it was the group of natives who had stumbled upon a piece of "silver" while they were in a cave to the north, and now they had gathered here to find out if it could be exchanged for food.
Colhoti looked at the stone for a moment, then shook his head.
The natives left disappointed.
Andy walked over and had a cordial conversation with Colhoti for a while.
"Is there any progress on selling water?"
"Not yet, this matter needs to be communicated with the Dog Village, I really don't have the time and ability now...."
"That's a pity, I'll see if I can run when I have a chance, I've long wanted to go to that brother tribe of yours."
"It's a good place, you can probably learn a lot of interesting things there, and if it weren't for me I couldn't leave, I'd go myself."
......
The two chatted for a while, and Andy gave him a few bottles of wine to get him a word of thanks.
"Can you show me the stone that the group of people gave you just now?"
Korhoti nodded nonchalantly, and took out the stone from the storage box under the counter, it was indeed full of silver glittering unknown ingredients in the stone, it looked a little unique, but it was still a stone.
"Ah, this kind of thing, there are people wandering around Beishan at the end of three days and finding it in some ancient caves, I don't know what use these stones are except for being beautiful, if you want it, I'll give it to you."
Andy looked cautiously for a moment, and then thought that he could use the beep-boy to check it.
[New Item: Silver Ore]
“.....!”
Andy didn't say anything, just thanked Korhoti quietly.
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly mentioned that there were any new events or rumors in Blackfoot Village recently.
Colhoti pursed his lips and thought about it, mentioning a few things.
"Well, there are a few things.... First of all, something happened to the forge cave, and there are almost no people left there, I heard that it is because the smoke and dust in there are too big, and they will get sick if they can't work for long, and staying in it is a very painful thing, so no matter how much Galen shouted, he didn't go to work.... Slave words weren't enough, and Craig had always disagreed with letting slaves go to such important locations... Now there is a problem, the production of weapons for Blackfoot may be halted as a result, after all, we cannot force our people to work where they do not want to go. ”
Andy thought of the woman who was helping Galen back.
"Who's in charge of the Forge Cave? I don't think Galen doesn't go very often. ”
Corhoti gave Andy the answer he expected.
"The Tube Forge Cavern is a Galen apprentice named Scarhand.... The woman was silent, she spent her days in the cavern of the forge, communicating with no one but Galen, and she was called this because her hands were full of scars.... She joined Blackfoot later because she said that she had worked in metallurgy before, and she proved it with her actions. ”
Andy silently took these words to heart.
"What else?"
Korhoti thought about it again, and once again said something that had been a bit of a uproar in Blackfoot Village lately.
"A man in our village named Kuaishou, a while ago, he was playing with those broken ropeways left over from ancient times on the top of the North Mountain, but he accidentally fell off the top and broke his leg.... Originally, this kind of thing can be dealt with as long as our pharmacist Merlin comes out, but I don't know why, Merlin openly declared that only Kuaishou's injury she will not treat, this matter is discussed by everyone about what it is, no one in our village knows how to treat it except Merlin, and Kuaishou's injury is not light, if he is not treated for too long, he is afraid that he will be disabled. ”
