Chapter 10 Visitors from Niulanshan Village
With the help of Lu Ling and Xiao Obedient, two days later, the villagers of Tieshan, who had fled from the desert, finally returned to the village safely.
Escaping death again made everyone sigh, but fortunately, this time they still had some gains, which made everyone feel a little at ease.
Especially the little monkey, after this time, he already knows that he is not a lonely person, he has his own name - Monkey King.
It's just that the people of Tieshan Village have become accustomed to calling him "Little Monkey", and they have not changed their name to him because of this.
After returning to Tieshan Village, the treasure hunting team did not rush out again, with the change of seasons, it is now autumn, in order to ensure that the village can survive the cold winter, everyone is to reserve food as the top priority at the moment.
However, in this barren forest, there are too many existences like Iron Mountain Village, especially the small village closest to them, but they are not as rational as them.
On this day, when the villagers were busy tying up dry firewood, the arrival of a group of people once again forcibly pulled Tieshan Village back to the world.
The person who came was none other than a villager from another village more than 100 miles away from Tieshan Village.
"Old village chief, we are ordered by the village chief to ask your village for some funding!"
A well-dressed middle-aged villager led more than a dozen villagers to the outside of the village and directly explained the purpose of the trip.
"Haha! Niu San'er, we haven't seen each other for some days, come on, go to the village to rest and rest! ”
The enthusiastic old village chief did not notice anything unusual from the comer, and he still admired each other's courage as always.
"Old village chief, don't bother, we have to hurry up and return to the village!"
Perhaps, because of the enthusiasm of the old village chief, Niu San's face suddenly revealed a very unnatural expression.
"Are you in such a hurry? Our two villages are more than 100 miles apart, presumably the big guys are also in a hurry to catch up hard, why not take a break here, by the way, let us do our best to the friendship of the landlord? ”
The old village chief's gaze swept over the dusty crowd, and he made an inviting gesture again.
"No! Old village chief, you don't have to bother! ”
Niu San saw that the old village chief's enthusiasm was undiminished, so he could only wave his hand again and refuse.
"Niu San'er, what happened?"
The other party refused to enter the village again and again, and finally the old village chief noticed something abnormal.
"Old village chief, let's be honest, we came this time to come to your village to requisition some grain!"
Niu San was embarrassed for a long time, and finally explained the purpose of this trip.
"Grain? It's easy to say, isn't there any difficulty in your Niulanshan Village? Also, we are in the barren forest, what accidents will we encounter if we can't keep it! ”
Hearing that Niu San was actually here for food, the old village chief did not feel any surprise.
"Village Chief, Village Chief......"
However, Tie Fei, who was accompanying the old village chief, heard something from the other party's words, and he hurriedly and gently pulled the old village chief a little farther away.
"Village chief, what Niu San'er said is 'requisition', what does this mean?"
The sensitive Tie Fei naturally heard the disrespect in the other party's words.
"Really? Is that what he said? ”
Hearing Tie Fei's explanation, the old village chief was a little suspicious of his ears.
"That's right! That's what he said, village chief, the word 'requisition' is not something that we wilderness people can use, everyone is a common man, why did he suddenly say these official words? ”
Seeing that the old village chief looked confused, Tie Fei could only softly clarify the facts to him again.
"Niu San'er, although our two villages have little contact, they still have some friendship with each other, but I don't know, how much food does your village need this time?"
For Tie Fei's character, the old village chief knows best, at this moment, he can only test Niu San again.
"Not much, there are fifteen of us here this time, and the old village chief will prepare thirty stones of grain for us!"
Niu San turned his head and glanced at the entourage behind him, and said very directly.
"Thirty stones?"
Hearing that the other party actually needed so much food, the old village chief was unconsciously stunned.
"Thirty stones? Our village's annual harvest is less than 100 stones, and they are really lions! ”
"Yes! With so much food, what are they going to do with Niulanshan Village? ”
"One by one, they are empty-handed, what can they take out in exchange for these thirty stones of grain?"
"Winter is coming soon, and judging from our harvest this year, no matter what the other party gives, it can't be exchanged for our thirty stone of grain! When the snow covers the mountains, these are all life-saving things! ”
Niu San's words broke out in an instant among the people of Tieshan Village who were watching.
"Thirty stone of grain, which can be regarded as all that we have in this small village, Niu San'er, what are you going to exchange for these thirty stone of grain?"
Although the old village chief did not plan to make this deal in his heart, he still made a statement to test the sincerity of the other party.
"Old village chief, I'm afraid you didn't understand, we are not here to make a transaction, I mean, I came to you to collect thirty stone of grain!"
In the past, Niu San naturally knew about the barter between these wilderness villages, but this time, he obviously didn't have the idea of equivalent exchange.
"What? You want to empty gloves white wolf? ”
Niu San's arrogant attitude immediately annoyed the villagers of Tieshan, and at this moment, the young and vigorous Tieshan couldn't hold it anymore and shouted directly.
"Not bad! I think that we in Niulanshan Village also have this capital! ”
Niu San didn't pay attention to Tie Shan's shouting, he and the entourage behind him looked at each other and smiled, and responded with a relaxed face.
"Phew! What capital can you have in Niulanshan Village? Just a dozen of you, believe it or not, we will definitely make you have no return! ”
Looking at the arrogant appearance of the other party, Tie Shan was even more angry, he reached out and touched his waist, and he already held a short axe in his hand.
"Yes! I have to teach these guys who don't know the height of the sky a lesson! ”
Tie Shan's words immediately caused an uproar among the villagers of Tie Shan, and for a while, everyone took out the weapons they were carrying.
"That's it! Be quiet! ”
Seeing the tension between the two sides, the old village chief hurriedly raised his arm and suppressed the anger of the villagers.
"Niu San'er, you are not good at coming today, I have the right to act as if nothing happened, go back and tell you the village chief, we have food in Tieshan Village, but no matter what you take in exchange, we will never give away a grain!"
Niu San's words also completely angered the old village chief, but, as the leader, he could only hold back his anger and speak calmly.
However, the old village chief's seemingly unwavering words resolutely stated Tieshan Village's position.
"Old village chief, I know that with a few of us, we don't have the strength to take food from you! However, now we in Niulanshan Village also have the capital to expropriate grain! ”
Although the riot of the villagers of Tieshan made Niu San and others fearful, thinking of the hole cards of Niulanshan Village today, Niu San still deliberately pretended to be relaxed.
"Humph! What capital can you have in Niulanshan Village? Even if any of you eat the imperial food, I'm afraid it hasn't reached the point where you can cover the sky with your hands, right? ”
Tie Fei glared at Niu San with disdain, and there was no trace of goodwill in his words.
"Humph! A group of reckless people, it's really a dog's eye and a low eye! Say it, I'm not afraid to scare you, now we are in Niulanshan Village, but there are immortals in charge! ”
Perhaps, Niu San also disdains the matter of entering the court as an official, he picked his eyes, and then said the hole card of Niulanshan Village.
"Immortals?"
Niu San's statement completely subverted the cognition of the villagers of Tieshan, and at this moment, the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent.
"In their Niulanshan Village, there are actually immortals in the town?"
After a moment of calm, the villagers of Tieshan once again turned on the noisy mode of talking to each other.
It's just that from the puzzled eyes of those villagers, it is not difficult to see that they don't want to believe the facts that Niu San said at all.
"Phew! You don't want to show off your power here in the name of the immortals, and you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue, beware of the immortals destroying your village! ”
After so many years of wandering in the barren forest, Tie Shan had never seen that legendary figure, and at this moment, he still didn't want to see anyone desecrate the gods in his heart.
"Humph! I can advise you in advance, today, I am coming to collect grain on behalf of the immortals, if everyone is not satisfied, in the future, it will not be a matter that can be solved by thirty stones of grain! ”
Niu San, who had seen the power of the immortals, was naturally fearless, but at this time, he looked at the old village chief not far away with a provocative expression.
"Niu San'er, in your Niulanshan Village, there really are immortals in charge?"
Things have come to such a point, and the old village chief can't tell the truth from the fake, but for the sake of safety, he still asked unconsciously.
"Believe it or not!"
Seeing that the other party's momentum had decreased sharply, Niu San suddenly showed a look of disdain.
"It stands to reason that filial piety to immortals, not to mention thirty stone of grain, even if it is to exhaust all of our Tieshan Village, it is also deserved. It's just that now it's just with your red mouth and white teeth, but no! ”
As he spoke, the old village chief stared at Niu San's face, hoping to detect the slightest flaw on his face.
"According to what you mean, such a trivial matter, you have to bother the immortals to come and fetch it personally?"
The burning gaze of the old village chief fell on his face, which naturally made Niu San feel very uncomfortable, but when things came to such a point, he could only hold on.
"I don't dare to do this, but how can we believe that there are immortals in your Niulanshan Village?" The old village chief said with retreat as advance.
"Why should we convince you! Let's be honest, thirty stone of grain, do you give it or not? ”
Niu San also knew that he couldn't come up with any evidence of strength, so he could only pretend to be tough.
"Food, we can't give it to you! If not, we will send a few people back with you, and once we are sure that there are immortals in your Niulanshan Village, when the time comes, we will send you the food directly without you coming to pick it up, how about it? ”
The experienced old village chief had already seen Niu San's weakness, and in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he still had to propose a compromise solution.
"Why do you want to send someone to spy on us? That's it, you remember, today is your Tieshan Village who violated the law of the immortals, and when the time comes, don't blame the immortals! ”
Seeing that he couldn't take it by force, Niu San suddenly ran out of ideas, he intimidated everyone again, and then beckoned the entourage behind him and turned away.
"Cut! I knew that this grandson was here to be a big man! What other immortals are in charge, just their Niulanshan Village, and they are also worthy? ”
"Pretending to be a ghost! Bravado! ”
Niu San's departure in a gloomy manner once again caused the villagers of Tieshan to burst into bursts of ridicule.
Even, these people didn't care at all, and their words of contempt had already reached the ears of Niu San and the others word for word.
"Humph! When the time comes, you Tieshan Village will definitely not be able to eat and walk around! ”
Hearing the ridicule of the villagers of Tieshan, Niu San was even more angry, but they didn't dare to be the enemy of a village at all. In desperation, he could only look back at the location of Tieshan Village viciously, and angrily burrowed into the dense forest.
