Chapter 107: The Woman Changes
"No, I just think this terrain is so strange, after coming down from the Nine Mountains, almost all the way to the plain, in addition to the thick snow on this plain, there are only poplar trees that have lost all their leaves, growing straight on the ground, it must be very cold in winter here, these people live here, what do they rely on to make a living? Why don't you stay at the foot of Kuju Mountain? ”
"It is said that it no longer belongs to the borders of any country, but there are also the most primitive inhabitants here, who have lived here for generations, and they rely on hunting in winter in addition to farming. Maybe you're just too vigilant, relax, and even if it's dangerous, we have to get in touch with them and get to know the local terrain. ”
Seeing Yu Luo like this, Yu Haojie explained to her in a whisper.
"I've already told them that we'll spend the night near their small village tonight, and we'll still set up tents, after all, there are so many of us, and their houses are relatively simple and narrow, so they can't accommodate us at all."
"An Shizi, there are more than a dozen families here suddenly, will it be too strange? Isn't it a wild place when you climb over the Nine Mountains? This doesn't belong to any country, could these people be mountain bandits or something? ”
Yu Zhengqing brought back the news he heard and told everyone, who knew that not only Yu Luo was suspicious, but Bai Xiuyuan, who was in the second room of the Bai family, couldn't help but doubt.
"Where did so many bandits come from? This mountain bandit lives in this ice and snow, why don't you go to the Nine Mountains? There are at least caves in Kuju Mountain, which are warm in winter and cool in summer. ”
Bai Xiuyuan's words fell, and Yu Xiaoxuan said disdainfully.
Hearing this, Yu Zhengqing, who was happy, also straightened his face and spoke again, "No matter what, although we don't have the heart to harm people, we must have the heart to defend people, when the time comes, don't run around, try to stay in the tent, take care of the children if you have children, none of you are allowed to contact the people in these villages without authorization." ”
"An Shizi is right, how can a person who can live here be a good stubble? Anyway, we have one more mind, it's dark too, otherwise we'll all walk a little longer, and don't spend the night here. ”
Liu Mingxia looked solemn, and he had been down the Jiuju Mountain for three days before he saw a crowd, and he had to be vigilant.
"Yes, Brother Liu is right, anyway, everyone has one more heart."
With Yu Zhengqing's warning, everyone's hearts were not as happy as they were at the beginning, and Liu Mingxia was also suspicious, and everyone's mood was even heavier.
"In that case, let's stay away from those stone houses and set up tents again, a little farther away, and our hearts will always be more steady."
Bai You used to be a prefect, but he was actually very timid, and when he saw that everyone was going to set up a tent, he hurriedly reminded him cautiously.
Seeing this, Yu Zhengqing didn't force them anymore, let them set up the tent first, make a fire and cook, and he went to communicate with them to see if he could get a few sleigh cars, and also to see if he could find out a little, useful things.
When Yu Zhengqing came to the small village again, the man had already taken the village chief of their village and was waiting at the back of the house.
"Aren't there many of you?"
"Well, thinking of not disturbing your lives, I let them set up a tent over there."
"Living in a tent, the wind is very strong at night, this gust of wind blows, the tent has to be blown away, it is better to come to live in our village, although we live in a stone house, but do not pour the wind in, burn a little charcoal fire at night, and it will pass."
"Yes, this is our village head, the village chief elected by our village composed of more than a dozen families, since our village chief has been invited, you have to be polite, big brother."
Seeing that several people were so enthusiastic, Yu Zhengqing's smile on his face did not change, and he still refused politely.
"Our tent was originally prepared for coming here, it's been like this for the past few days, there are too many people, it must be too crowded, thank you for the kindness of the village chief, by the way, is there a spontaneous market near you or something? And do you have a car for the snow? ”
"Yes! I just heard the stone say, you want a car? ”
"Yes, yes, if there is a car in this snow, everyone can save a lot of effort."
"This cart can help you, compared to the carriage in the snow, unimpeded, but ......"
"Don't worry, it's easy to say that the money is good, the village chief, look at you, have you done a good job, can I take a look first?"
Seeing that Yu Zhengqing responded so quickly, the village chief nodded, and there was no reaction on his face.
"This is no problem, we must have the bazaar you asked, although we have three areas here, but there are still thousands of indigenous residents, although they are scattered far away, but on the fifteenth day of every month, we will exchange materials in a small market fifty miles away.
I don't want your money, do you see anything you can exchange with us? ”
While speaking, the village chief had already led Yu Zhengqing's father and son to the place where their stone houses were concentrated.
Looking at the closed doors, there was almost no sound of speech around them, and even those children seemed to be carried into the house, Yu Zhengqing also felt that there was weirdness everywhere.
"I don't know what supplies you need, village chief?"
"Food, clothing...... It would be better if there were women, and we need to carry on the lineage. ”
Yu Zhengqing.......
The first two items are quite normal, but who knew that the latter request directly made Yu Zhengqing speechless.
"Dad, have you forgotten the two women we rescued from the bandits? Ask them if they would like to stay here, after all, they will follow us, and we will not be able to take care of them for the rest of their lives. ”
Just when Yu Zhengqing was speechless, Yu Xiaoxuan suddenly leaned close to his ear and reminded him in a low voice.
Hearing this, Yu Zhengqing's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and he was moved at this moment.
"This is the car we use on weekdays, but we pull the cart is a wolf, your horse is in a thick snowy place, but it may not be able to run, in fact, we don't have a horse, what is the specific, you have to try to know."
Looking at the one in front of him, there was not even a wheel, only a few polished and smooth wooden boards, and the patchwork carriage, Yu Zhengqing was stunned.
"This is what you call the car?"
"This car has no wheels, how can it run?"
As soon as Yu Zhengqing's words fell, Yu Xiaoran couldn't hold back her curiosity and hurriedly asked.
"The snow is already slippery, and this flat board is placed on it, and the first few wolves are running, and it is easy to run in the snow."
Seeing the village chief explain like this, several people were still a little incredible, but at this moment, Yu Haojie and Yu Yongcai, brothers, walked up!
"That's it, can you call a taxi?"
Yu Haojie thought that the people of this era had invented the sleigh car, and when he was curious, he was dumbfounded.
"What do you say? If you don't like it, then I won't change it with you, anyway, there are only three cars in our village. ”
