Chapter 104: Transactions
However, there is a group of birds of prey called "Baja birds" in this wild territory, this kind of birds of prey live in groups, like to make nests on very steep rock walls, both to hunt fish, but also to hunt wild animals, these Baja birds after eating, will return to the nest to rest, because birds do not have the function of chewing, and even have to swallow stones to help rub and digest, so in the process of digestion, some such as bones, fur and other things that cannot be digested form food pills, vomit out.
These pills were originally fishy and smelly, and they fell under the cliff below the nest, and after rotting, they were very filthy, and under the cliff, they would also shine strong sunlight at noon, with such harsh conditions, so there were meat ginger flowers blooming.
Because it is very harsh to form such a growth environment, so within a radius of a few hundred miles, there is only this thing in the territory of the barbarian, and the villagers who want to come to this village are greedy for Lin Feng's generous reward, to pick meat ginger flowers, but they were caught and injured.
After listening to Gu Shan's words, the wild boar suddenly laughed and said:
"A bunch of brutes actually bullied me?"
As he spoke, he strode outside, Lin Fengjin also felt a little annoyed in his heart at this time, but suddenly saw something strange in his eyes, so he reached out and pressed it on the shoulder of the wild boar, and said in a deep voice:
"I'll go with you. ”
The path in this mountain is very rugged, and Gu Shanben, who led the way in front, looked at Lin Fengjin's appearance and thought that he was a weak scholar who couldn't hold on, but he didn't expect that he walked down in two or three hours, and he walked out of breath, but this scholar was calm and relaxed, and looked quite calm.
After crossing two or three hills, Gushan pointed to a col in front of him:
"After passing this mountain pass, you will enter the territory of the barbarians. ”
Lin Fengjin narrowed his eyes and said:
"Oh, it seems that the territory of your two families is really not far apart. ”
After crossing this mountain. Lin Fengjin's ears suddenly moved slightly, and he coughed in a low voice, and a sneer appeared at the corner of the wild boar's mouth, but after walking out for more than ten steps, he saw that there was a large net covering above, and then seven or eight men with red war patterns on their faces shouted and raised their wooden sticks and rushed over!
When the boar saw the great net, he stretched out his hand and tore it open, and the net broke with a crackle, and then the boar strode forward, grabbed the young man who was in the lead, lifted him up by the neck, and tried to break his neck. The rest of the brutal wooden sticks. The knives and axes slashed at the boar's body, and they all bounced away very simply, and they couldn't hurt his skin at all.
At this time, the rest of the barbarians can be said to be stunned, because the big net they used to ambush people was made of iron wire and rattan, as well as human hair, cow tendon and other materials, which were very tough, and they could be said to be idle when used to catch tigers and bears. It was torn apart by a wild boar with his bare hands. At this time, I saw that the young man led by him was about to die, and they all came to save him, but they were kicked out by the wild boar one by one, and they vomited blood.
Fortunately, this is the time. Lin Fengjin shouted:
"Slow!"
In this world, only Lin Fengjin could listen to the wild boar, so he grabbed the young man's neck and threw him to the ground. Lin Fengjin glanced at the wild boar and said:
"The rattan nets they use to catch us are not embedded with stingers, and they obviously have iron forks and other weapons. They still rushed up with wooden sticks, which shows that these people don't really want our lives. Naturally, we also have to be people and leave a line, so that we can see each other in the future. ”
The wild boar listened to what Lin Fengjin said very well. He nodded slightly, retreated, and the group of students hurriedly rushed over to help the young man, although they aimed their weapons at Lin Fengjin and them, they were already more afraid.
At this time, Gu Shan wanted to step forward to speak, but Lin Fengjin had already stepped forward first, put his hand on his chest, and then bowed down and said:
"These warriors, we are guests from outside the mountain, we have come with friendship and goodwill, and we want to buy some medicinal herbs, why do you treat us the way you treat us with the wolf of wealth?"
The young man who had just been caught by the wild boar stood up bravely again and said angrily:
"Then why are you standing with this thief, he and his people are best at stealing our harvest!"
Lin Fengjin turned his head and glanced at Gu Shan deeply, and Gu Shan immediately shouted:
"That tits like a mountain has been the property of our village since the time of my grandfather's grandfather! It is our duty to go there to hunt and collect medicine, what is it to steal?"
The barbarian youth roared angrily:
"Twenty years ago, when there was a great drought, your village received three wild boars from my grandfather, five hundred catties of grain, and sold the milk mountain to our village.
Disputes in these villages are common, and there are even many times when they break the blood flow for a stream, but Lin Fengjin glanced at the wild boar, how could the wild boar not know that he was being used as a gun at this time, if he directly broke the neck of this barbarian young man before, then it was bound to slaughter this village! Although the wild boar was brutal and easy to kill, it would not act so unscrupulously, so he took half a step back and remained silent.
At this time, Lin Feng said to the wild boar:
"If you want to help your brother Gushan, we can help him buy the right to use a few mountains, the disputes between the villages can not say who is right and who is wrong, they often stretch for hundreds of years, it is not a good thing to slaughter wantonly in this wild mountain, it is said that there are witch gods here, we now have a heavy responsibility, and it is good to be able to not make extraneous branches. ”
After hearing this, the wild boar nodded silently.
At this time, suddenly there was a flash of black gas in the oblique thorn, and a dark voice said:
"Who dares to touch my Uba's warriors?"
Immediately after, a black mist aimed at Lin Fengjin's face and pounced straight over, Lin Fengjin still didn't feel the killing intent from this black mist, after inhaling this black mist, at most he was hallucinating and unconscious, he was silent, but a bright water mirror suddenly appeared in front of him, and the black fog was expelled invisibly! Then Lin Fengjin said lightly:
"I came with goodwill and friendship, and I repeat, we are here. I just want to buy some medicinal herbs, and if this Uba warrior feels that he has been hurt just now, how about this dagger be my apology?"
Saying that, Lin Fengjin stepped forward and handed over a dagger with a sheath.
In fact, if this dagger is in the Northern Qi or Southern Zheng, it is just an ordinary boutique, but in this poor mountain and bad water, the shark skin sheath of this dagger is also inlaid with gold edges, and the blade of the dagger is made of cold forging, with a circle of cloud patterns, which looks extraordinary.
The Uba warrior took the dagger in disbelief. Pulling it out and looking at it, his partners around him were gasping sounds, and his eyes were full of envy, this Uba played with admiration for a while, and then used it to cut the branches, and then reluctantly handed the dagger back directly, and said very straightforwardly:
"This dagger is too valuable for me to take. ”
Lin Fengjin didn't take the dagger, and said to the rock wall next to him:
"This wizard. I'm really sincere in buying medicine, and it's important, and I don't want to be solved with blood and weapons. ”
Suddenly an old man with a hunched body came out from behind the rock wall. There was anger in his eyes:
"What do you mean by that?"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"I'm just telling the truth,"
As he said this, he suddenly spread his palms out and raised them to his chest. Suddenly, I saw a white mist, and a fist-sized ice flower quickly formed. It was very gorgeous and magnificent, everyone else admired it, Lin Fengjin suddenly flicked his fingers, and the ice flower flew into the dense forest next to it, and suddenly exploded!
At this moment, the petals of the ice flower, which were countless diamond-shaped ice flakes, swirled and flew out, and with a series of loud bangs, the forest immediately collapsed in half! All of them were destroyed by this extremely sharp ice flakes! The remaining stumps were all up to the knees, and they were all uniform in height and neat!
Lin Fengjin showed such a hand, which was naturally the credit of Shui E in the Black Emperor Mirror on his waist, but how could others see it?
"Seeing that your old eyelids are constantly trembling, and your upper lip is rosy, and your lower lip is pale, you should have learned something about Gu worms? ”
The old man with his body on his back immediately said angrily:
"Okay!
After finishing speaking, he opened his mouth, only to see the thin neck squirm violently, and then, the wizard opened his mouth, and from the depths of his throat flew out a red scorpion with flying wings, although the scorpion was very small, it looked extremely spiritual, and it was constantly wriggling, as if there was endless energy all over the body.
It's just that the scorpion hovered in the air, the wizard bit his finger and threw the blood at Lin Fengjin, and the crimson flying scorpion immediately aimed at Lin Fengjin and pounced on it, but when it flew to within three zhang of Lin Fengjin's body, it suddenly seemed to have seen a ghost, and flew away at an alarming speed, and even the wizard's appeasement couldn't care so much, and disappeared into the vast forest sea in an instant.
This Gu insect looked vicious, but the aura exuded by the local tyrant gold was enough to make it run for its life.
The wizard was surprised at this time, and looked at Lin Fengjin carefully for a while, then he sighed very simply, muttered a few words to the Wuba, and then turned around and left.
Lin Fengjin looked at Wuba at this time, and still smiled kindly:
"I'm really a merchant who came in from outside the mountain to buy medicinal herbs, and I have no ill will towards everyone in this mountain, we have prepared enough goods to exchange your products, don't you still believe me now?"
Wuba had already accepted Lin Fengjin's dagger at this time, it seemed that he really liked it, but he scratched his ears and cheeks and didn't speak, Lin Fengjin was such a well-behaved person, and immediately took out several very beautifully made cloth bags from his arms, but they were filled with brown sugar the size of a finger, and there were seven or eight pieces in each cloth bag.
Although this brown sugar is not very good-looking, but Lin Fengjin used a wooden mold to make it when he pressed it, so there are a series of patterns and patterns on it, which makes people feel more and more exquisite when they look at it.
Sugar has always been a luxury. There was occasional honey in the mountains, but it was rock honey on the cliffs, and it was often harvested at the risk of death, and it could not be mass-produced, so these people were very happy when they got the brown sugar cut into pieces.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fengjin asked them to pick up the cloth bag, and found that there was a small bag next to it, and when they took it out, they found that it contained three embroidery needles and five pipelines. These gadgets are worthless. But it is a necessity of life, and it is difficult to produce it in the mountains. At this time, Lin Feng proposed to buy medicinal materials again, Wuba hesitated for a while, nodded, and the rest of the men also tasted the sweetness and nodded very dryly, but they all pointed to Gu Shan and said viciously:
"He is not welcome in our stockade!"
What else could Gu Shan do at this time, he could only smile bitterly, and his face was a little hot. Because he also has the intention of using wild boars to help, this kind of thing is fine if it is said directly, but it is a little embarrassing to get these hands and feet behind his back and be seen through. However, Lin Fengjin did not snub him, but also gave him a generous gift, and promised to help their village buy a few mountains, Gu Shan was naturally very happy.
Gu Shan's thoughts, Lin Fengjin, would not guess too much. To put it bluntly, as long as he can provide enough Suosuo wine, then Lin Fengjin will not do anything to him, maybe the wild boar still has a friendship with Gushan. But Lin Fengjin only has a trading relationship with him, and Gu Shan's small tricks are understandable, and they are also within the scope of Lin Fengjin's patience, and he will not treat him badly in the face of the wild boar.
After walking less than five or six miles of mountain roads, Lin Fengjin followed Wuba and the others through a very dangerous zipline, and then came to their village.
Obviously, the people in this barbarian village where Uba is located are much more vigilant, and when they see outsiders entering, they will copy the guy as soon as possible, until Uba waved his hand, and then put down his weapons in disbelief, it seems that Uba has a very high status in the village, and Lin Fengjin found that the people here are also much poorer. In the village of Gushan, although everyone is in rags and patches, they can cover their bodies with clothes, but in this village, only half of the people can wear tattered clothes, and the rest are surrounded by animal skins.
Uba took Lin Fengjin to the open space inside their village, which seemed to be the place where the village held various rituals, surrounded by three thick wooden stakes with charred ends. At this time, many people have already come here, and it is the nature of every human being to like to watch strongly.
Wuba pointed at Lin Fengjin and said loudly:
"This is a merchant from far away, he is a good man, and Wu Lao has also approved that he can come to the village to trade, and everyone must honestly do business with him, he is a friend. ”
While Uba was talking, Lin Fengjin had already put out his goods, and at the same time he simply grabbed a "strong man" next to him, which was a young man who had come to ambush Lin Fengjin with Uba before, this person was talking very excitedly all the way, and he seemed to be more extroverted.
Lin Fengjin grabbed him, stuffed him with two more brown sugar packets, and then explained to him, and the young man named Bami immediately laughed happily and nodded again and again.
Soon, a large number of villagers were attracted by Lin Feng's snow-white refined salt, brown sugar, all kinds of tableware, and daily necessities, all in front of them were shiny, and from time to time people came to ask the price.
The people in the village really couldn't believe their ears, a black stone flower can be exchanged for two catties of refined salt! This refined salt and white flower flower is exactly like the snow on the sacred mountain, I don't know how much better than those ordinary black and yellow salt sold in small sales, usually when they exchange with the rest of the tribes, even if they can't buy it at a high price!
In addition, the men's eyes are fixed on a handful of sheathed daggers, the workmanship of the sheaths of these daggers is "quite exquisite" (of course, relative to their own weapons), of course, the most important thing about daggers is to look at the blade, flashy embroidered pillows do not work, but pull it out and see, the layers of cloud patterns on it are very clear, the cold is pressing, and they take a piece of wood at hand, which is a hundred times better than their own tattered things!
With such a sheathed dagger, Bami went to ask the Han man who lacked heart, and he only needed three herbs!, this herb grows on the mountain and doesn't need money, at most it takes some hard work, and this thing, after eating enough, sleeps like a cut leek and grows again?
What? A plant of high-quality white rice can be exchanged for ten catties? Isn't this a free gift!?
Look! Uri had happily picked back a ginger flower that the Han people wanted, but his arm was torn by a fierce Baja bird, and blood flowed straight down, this kind of wound with broken skin was too common, and who of the warriors in the stockade was not covered in bruises?
The Han man weighed fifty catties of white rice for him! Fifty catties! This rice was like a pearl, and when he grabbed it, it flowed out from the gap between his fingers, and there was no sand, no stones, not even the usual grains!
Hey, the Han people actually took out some medicine to give to Uri, and after Uri smeared it on the wound, it didn't bleed, and the claws of this Baha bird were poisonous, didn't it bleed for a day if it was scratched? According to the Han people, Uri was injured for them to collect medicine, so this medicine doesn't cost money.
The older man, the eyes are focused on the medicine brought by the Han people, the effect of the gold sore medicine of the Han people outside is very effective, this is a well-known fact, and the goods brought by this man are all high-quality goods, and the gold sore medicine taken out at this time is also quite good, you see Uri is already waving his arms, happily carrying the rice and leaving, if you can change some, maybe you can save your life when it is critical.
Of course, men's eyes are different from women's, women will not come out on this occasion, but the Han people are very kind, and when they meet those naughty babies, everyone scatters a piece of brown sugar, and the little baby chews happily to the sound of Kaka, and the stall he set up near immediately seems to have infinite magnetic force, attracting little babies one by one.
Women want to take care of their own babies, so they must have no choice but to carefully protect the stalls close to the Han people. Under the temptation of sweet brown sugar, the scare of the past tried and tested will not work for the naughty baby, for them, the Han people are neither green-faced fangs, nor will they eat them, but it is possible to get delicious food from them, so none of them will run away.
Gradually, the eyes of these women were also attracted by the goods on the Han stalls:
What? This is a mirror? A palm-sized piece that can even shine a clear picture of every hair? And this fire fold, a palm-sized piece, can hit an open flame in a flash!
Some mothers-in-law have the audacity to ask the price, and they can hardly believe their ears, and one herb can be exchanged for three things! Fire folds, mirrors, needles and threads, how can there be such good things in the world?
Ah, yes, there is still satin here, it is really smooth to touch, this Han people have a good temperament, the baby touched a few black handprints on it and smiled, just forget it, such a big satin, but only five herbs!
Hey, this Han man is really stubborn, as long as the herbs, the rest don't want anything, and the rest of the merchants don't like leather or silver the most, he doesn't want either.
The old ancestor also came out, and the Han people didn't bow down when they saw the old ancestor, and it seemed that the two of them were talking very speculatively. (To be continued......)
