Chapter 597

2014-08-16

The sky is high and cloudy, biting-cold wind. Looking up, the whole sky is like a cloudy jade block with silk cloud cotton inside. It is gray and not very good-looking, but it is undoubtedly much better than the raging weather of the crazy Tempest snow a few days ago.

When you look down, you can see plains and hills and a continuous mountain range. It looks grand and atmospheric, but it is also desolate and monotonous.

Strictly speaking, there is no real road in the Northern Wilderness. Of course, it can also be said that there are roads everywhere. Without him, there are many people walking, and the smooth road will naturally be able to step out.

Now, between the low and rolling hills, a group of teams is traveling along the road that the predecessors stepped on. Because it has just snowed, the road is somewhat muddy and potholes, and the speed of the team is a little bit. slow.

The carriages are all flat plates, not the kind for people to rest, but piles of goods wrapped in oilcloth. The dozen or so barbarians around were walking, and the animal skin clothes on their bodies were neither luxurious nor shabby and shabby. They were ordinary and ordinary. From the outside, there is no doubt that this should be a small caravan.

Yes, like Titus, the North Desolate Tribe is also caravanned. However, compared to the Titus caravan with fixed destinations, routes, etc., the accuracy of the Beihuang caravan is much higher. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the gathering places of various tribes migrate all year round, so the Beihuang caravan basically goes out for a walk, and only returns after the goods are sold.

There were three people walking in front of the team, two women and one man, all of them looked very young. At this moment, the burly young man with a standard barbarian shape looked at the all around environment and said, "Leader, go ahead and you will reach the Hufu tribe. Well, this tribe has a good gathering place, it shouldn't be. be moved away."

The person who was called the caravan leader was the woman walking in the middle, dressed in gray fox fur, half of her face was blocked by a fleece collar. Beihuang people are generally tall, and women are no exception. This young woman is very tall, and her two dicks are even more powerful. Compared with Savian, she is taller, but compared with other men and women in the caravan, she is still much shorter.

The woman did not answer the young man's words. At this time, she was putting a green leafy plant with red berries in front of her eyes. On the other hand, another young woman in red-clothed beside her turned her head and said with a smile, "Andre's big brother, have you been to this tribe?"

That was called Andre The strong young man was not surprised by the attitude of the head of the regiment, and seemed to be used to it, said with a smile, "Yes, Sydney. But that was three years ago, when I was still in the army, and I stayed here a few times. God."

"Oh...So it turns out that Andre's big brother was still in the army. Did he go to Titus? What's going on there? I heard that Titus people are very short. But there are a lot of beautiful clothes..."

"Titus ah...hehe, it's almost like that..."

...

While talking and laughing, this name The woman named Sydney seemed interested in the topic of Titus and kept asking. Of course, if you look at the eyes that were peeking from time to time, you can know that she is more interested in this sturdy Andre.

It is certain that these two people are from Beihuang, but they use very standard Titus words when they talk. Perhaps from this point, it can be seen that this caravan is not that simple... Well, from the point of view of the head, this caravan is still a little abnormal. The destination is imminent, she is still observing the berry plant at this time, her eyes are narrowed, as if she is doing some research.

The team traveled again for more than ten minutes, crossing the undulating mountain range in front of them. There was a man-made stone wall extending several li in front of the left side, and a tall wooden watchtower, with a faint silhouette. Needless to say, this should be exactly the Hufu tribe that Andre spoke of.

At this time, the woman called the head of the group finally finished her research, sighed, and reached out to pick off a few red berries on the green leafy plant, throw one into her mouth, and distribute the rest to her side. Andre and Sydney.

"Hey, it's sweet and sour, it tastes good." After a few sips, Sydney's slender eyebrows suddenly twitched, her face a little happy. Andre on the side looked much calmer, smacking his lips, smiling silently. In his opinion, this thing is naturally not as refreshing as a large piece of meat.

"Hehe, snacks, I'll give you all." He chuckled, his voice a little hoarse. The head of the regiment, Suo Xing, stuffed a few berries into Sini's hand, and threw away the green leafy plant that he had attached great importance to before.

Cheering and accepting, "hehe, thank you hall... um, the head of the regiment." Seemingly saying something wrong, Xinni quickly changed her mouth and stuck out her tongue, flatteringly said, "Lord regiment head, Has there been any results from the research?"

shook the head, "It's not that easy." After pondering for a while, the head of the regiment looked a little regretful, "Although I haven't seen it before, this should be just ordinary Berries. At most, they can only be used as snacks, and cannot replace food." After a pause, he said cheerfully, "but the decision made this time is correct. The Northern Wilderness is so big, and there are thousands of plants that we don't know. You can always find a food that is suitable for the soil here and can be planted on a large scale.”

There is nothing unusual about this remark, but at first glance, it is nothing more than that this kind of berry is not suitable for large-scale planting. But if combined with the actual situation of the North Desolate Tribe, there is a taste of boast shamelessly.

Everyone knows that the soil here in the Northern Wilderness is not suitable for growing crops, and the food crisis has plagued all tribal barbarians all year round. That's why the North Desolate Tribe sacks the Titus border each year during the fall harvest. But the head of the small Business Group in front of her, who was obviously very young, actually said that she wanted to find suitable crops on this frozen soil, and her tone was indeed unusual.

However, when they heard the words, Nasini and Andre were really sullen.

"Well, where is this?" Because of his previous focused research, the regiment leader squinted at the surrounding environment, especially the stone wall on the left side in front, and asked in confusion.

Andre said again: "Head of the regiment, this is the Hufu tribe."

"Oh..." As if he had heard the name of the place, the head of the regiment showed a sudden look, and then looked at it around the Fan tribe. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is gentle. There is no need to worry about natural disasters such as hurricanes coming directly, and the transportation is also convenient. Nodding, "The terrain here is really good, no wonder the Hufu tribe doesn't move all the year round... Well, it's suitable for building a city. Xi Ni, write down this place."

"Okay." I took out a thick booklet from the bag, and when I read it, I could see that there were all kinds of miscellaneous things recorded in it, including mountain range water flow terrain, vivid animals and plants... It was like an encyclopedia of the Northern Wilderness Edition.

After Sidney added, the head of the regiment, Nodded, first instructed the people behind to lift the tarpaulin on the carriage, and then walked towards the stone wall: "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

"Uh..." Sini and Andre at the back looked at each other in dismay, and they stayed where they were. Immediately, Xi Ni supported her forehead, with a "surely it will be like this" expression, and called, "Captain..."

Turning back, "Well?"

Xi Ni Point your finger to the left, where there is clearly an entrance and exit: "That, the entrance is there!"

"..."

...

A little out Small situation, but not a big problem. The entrances and exits of the Hufu tribe were also guarded by barbarians, but that was basically just an appearance, mainly aimed at the possible attacks of other tribes, and naturally they would not care about the dozens of people in this small caravan.

In the Tribe, this small caravan is quite popular. This is also a normal situation. After all, although Beihuang also has caravans, because of the lack of houses, the number will definitely not be too many. The so-called rare is the most expensive is such a truth.

Looking for an open space, this small caravan is also very serious about putting away the goods. Immediately, most of the crowd surrounding them shook their heads and sighed, but the screams and cheers of the children came one after another, and some were even more noisy to sell.

The reason for this situation is very simple. The accuracy of the Beihuang caravan is so high that if a barbarian wants to buy something, he can only wait for the wandering caravan to pass by. And the caravan must sell exactly what they need for the deal to succeed. And now, this small caravan is actually full of toys, all kinds of children's toys...

It can't be said that this kind of isolated business idea will not work, and barbarian children are also children. , If you have the conditions, you will naturally buy these toys. But obviously, these things are definitely not as easy to sell as everyday items.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and there were also some adult barbarians who accidentally brought their children, scratching their heads and smiling bitterly in the midst of the noise of their own children, and came up to talk about the price... The young team leader was guarding with Sydney in person. At the back of the booth, he was smiling, but he was very good at talking. As long as the price was not excessively bargained, he would basically agree after rubbing the child's head.

After a while, more than a dozen deals were negotiated. By this time, the surrounding group has basically dispersed, and the next thing is to wait in the booth. The simple truth is that those children who run away cheering with toys will definitely show off to their companions, and then there will naturally be adults who can't stand it and bring their children.

shook the head, and Sini's mouth was slightly deflated: "Captain, if we sell some clay pots of food, it will definitely sell well."

"Yes." Feel free to answer With a sound, the head of the regiment was looking at the child wandering not far to the right of the booth, obviously absent-minded.

Seeing this, Xi Ni was dissatisfied and said: "Head of the regiment..." The relationship between the two is a little delicate. Judging from some casual gestures, the status of the regiment leader is obviously higher than that of Xin Ni and Shang. Everyone in the team is much higher, but the young female team leader's attitude is very kind and easy to talk, and there is no awe or estrangement between the usual words of acquaintances such as Xini.

After beckoning, the head of the regiment did not answer Sini's question first, but took a few steps forward and called the child to him, with a hoarse voice: "Want to buy a toy?"

Nodding, then shook his head quickly, the shabby child glanced at all kinds of toys with burning eyes, and shook his head again.

"hehe..." He chuckled a few times, reached out and brushed off the broken clods from the child's hair, the head of the group blinked mysteriously, said with a smile, "If you can be in a I will pick the flowers you think are the most beautiful for the elder sister within an hour, and the elder sister will give you a surprise. Is it okay?" Go down, nodded hard: "Okay!"

"Well, then we made an agreement, remember to keep it secret!" Patted the child's shoulder, the head of the group walked back to the booth with a smile. The child ran to the north without looking back.

It seems that he remembered the previous question, the head of the regiment spread his hands helplessly to Xi Ni: "You have asked this question several times... Well, only by selling these toys can we be in the form of a caravan. Go further. Besides, don't you think it's such a satisfying thing to bring joy to a child?"

"People just want to talk...and keep sending it like this, I It won't go very far." Sini, who was explained again, hugged the captain's right arm coquettishly, then watched the silhouette of the child disappear into the far corner, and asked suspiciously, "Captain, since it's all to send, Then why not give it to him directly? You don't like flowers."

"Because we are businessmen." Being hugged by a woman more than ten centimeters tall like a koala, the scene is obviously a little discordant , but the head of the regiment did not break free, and said calmly, "Since it is a businessman, it is natural to exchange it at an equal value. Those who have money can buy goods directly, and those who have no money must pay to get the goods."

After a pause, he continued, "Fairly, this is the most important thing in commercial circulation. It is because of the lack of this thing in Beihuang that commerce has been developing does not raise. Over the years, we have become accustomed to snatch. When you get something, kill the person who gets it. Now that we can rob the Titus people, will we be able to rob our own people in the future?"

"Oh..." Nodded responded with a vague understanding of Sydney. , Although there are some clouds and mountains, she has almost blind confidence in the person around her, so she no longer bothers to think deeply.

......

Not long ago, Andre, who was disappeared when the Business Group set up the stall, suddenly appeared, looked all around, and came over: "hehe, head of the group, How is the business?"

"It's not bad."

"Hey, Andrea, big brother, don't sell anything, just tell me what you've heard."

There is a nod, and Andrea looked at the calm head and said: "The Hufu tribe is basically the same as the ordinary tribe by hunting to make a living in the iron mines in the east of the tribe, but they don't know how to mine. , the benefits that can be obtained are very small, and even people have died. Over time, it is almost abandoned now."

"Is there iron ore?" The head of the regiment heard that eyebrow raised, he pondered for a while, and did not wait. Next to Xi Ni opened the book and said directly, "The people of the Massa tribe who are hundreds of miles away know how to mine. Well, the Tiger tribe in the east has a simple blacksmith craftsmanship..." , accurately name all the relevant situations, and then connect them one by one to form a complete self-sufficient chain. Finally, he turned his head and said, "Xini, have you written it down? Remember to remind me when you go back."

"Don't worry, Captain." The quill shua shua wrote down this remark and typed out the hand seal.

Nodding, the head of the regiment was accustomed to falling into contemplation, asking questions such as "How is the relationship between these tribes", "Is the road going smoothly..." and so on. Andre and the others answered, and answered themselves.

Like a computer with precise calculation, as long as there is sufficient information, it can quickly deal with all aspects of the problem. Ten minutes later, he rubbed his eyebrows, let out a long sigh of relief, and looked relaxed.

At this time, the child from before came over with a large bunch of multi-colored wildflowers, and the young head of the team came forward to take the flowers with joy, and let the child choose any of the many toys. One, left happily.

Although they didn't say it, Andrei and Sini, who were well aware of the team leader's abilities, looked at each other, nodded, knowing that the plan was a success.

After waiting for about half an hour again, several transactions were made. Business Group staff finished lunch and set off again from the northern gate of the tribe.

After getting away from the tribe, Andre patted his head, as if remembering something, and said again: "By the way, do you remember the tribe we met yesterday? It was said that the woman from the Light God Temple robbed the They bought their food."

"Well, remember." Sini heard the words and immediately nodded, "We are still joking, how could people from Light God Temple come here? Besides, Grab food? Hehe, those people who claim to be holy are actually extremely hypocritical, so they shouldn't do such a rude thing."

shook the head, Andre looked solemnly: "No, it seems that Really. I heard it again when I was inquiring about the news of the Hufu tribe. They were still robbing food, but this time the other party was very fast, and I could only see that it was a woman, um, a Titus woman.”

"Uh..."

frowned, the young head asked, "When?"

"Just this morning."

looked thoughtful Nodding, looking at the mountain range in the distance, he decisively ordered: "Stop advancing! Andre, send a few people forward."

"Yes!" When Andre heard the words, he didn't hesitate in the slightest.

It was as if Camouflage was torn apart. The atmosphere of the Business Group, which had been friendly before, was instantly condensed. Several silhouettes quickly left the scope of the Business Group. After flashing a few times, they quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

There is no doubt that these people are not ordinary Business Group personnel at all, but rather skilled Beihuang experts.

That Sini came back to his senses, blinked and asked, "Captain, do you also think that woman is from Light God Temple? This is too incredible!"

The head of the regiment slightlyly nominated: "Being able to enter and exit several tribes without being stopped shows that the opponent's strength is very high. And if this is our Northern Wilderness, he only needs to show his identity to get good hospitality. There's no need to grab it. Well, it should be someone from Light God Temple."

"Really?" Sidney smacked her tongue. Don't you want to go?"

"Actually..." Andre walked back after giving the order, his eyes flashed, and he said decisively, "She can't go back now!"

"Uh, this is..."

The head of the regiment did not participate in the conversation between the two, but turned to look south, brows slightly wrinkle. The people of Light God Temple appear here, could it be that there is a problem with the battle situation ahead...
