But in this savage territory, there is a group of raptors locally called "Baja Birds". This raptor lives in groups and likes to build nests on very steep rock walls. It can hunt both fish and wild beasts.
After eating, these Baja birds will return to their nests to rest. Because birds do not have the ability to chew, they even have to swallow stones to help with friction and digestion. Therefore, during the digestion process, some parts such as bones, fur, etc. will be destroyed.
The digested food is formed into pellets and vomited out.
These food pellets were originally very smelly. When they fell to the cliff below the nest, they became very filthy after rotting. The bottom of the cliff would also be exposed to strong sunlight at noon. It has such harsh conditions, so there are ginger flowers.
open.
Because it is very harsh to create such a growing environment, within a few hundred miles, this thing is only found in the barbaric territory. I think this villager came here just to get Lin Fengjin's generous reward and pick ginger flowers.
As a result, he was injured after being caught.
After hearing what Gu Shan said, the wild boar suddenly laughed ferociously and said:
"A bunch of barbarians actually bullied me?"
As he said that, he strode outside. Lin Fengjin felt a little angry at this time, but suddenly he saw something fishy in his eyes, so he reached out and put his hand on the wild boar's shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"I'll go with you."
***
The path in the mountain is very rugged. Looking at Lin Fengjin's appearance, Gu Shan thought he was a weak scholar who couldn't hold on. But he didn't expect that after walking down for two or three hours, he was out of breath. Instead, the scholar
He is calm and relaxed, looking quite calm and unhurried.
After climbing over two or three hills, Gushan pointed to a mountain pass in front of him and said:
"After passing this mountain col, you will enter the Wuman territory."
Lin Fengjin narrowed his eyes and said:
"Oh, it seems that the territories of your two families are really not far apart."
After crossing the mountain, Lin Fengjin's ears suddenly twitched and he coughed in a low voice. A sneer appeared on the corner of the wild boar's mouth. After walking for more than ten steps, he saw a large net above him.
The hood fell down, and then seven or eight men with red war patterns on their faces shouted and rushed over with wooden sticks!
The wild boar saw the big net, reached out and tore it apart! The big net actually broke with a "crack", and then the wild boar strode forward and grabbed the neck of the young man who was leading the way.
He lifted it up and tried to break his neck. The other barbaric sticks, knives and axes struck the wild boar, but they all bounced away easily, unable to hurt him at all.
Every inch of skin.
At this time, the other barbarians could be said to be stunned, because the large net they used to ambush people was made of wire vine, human hair, beef tendon and other materials, which was very tough.
It can be said that they were used to catch tigers and bears easily, but they were torn apart by wild boars with their bare hands. At this time, they saw that the young man who led them was about to die, and they all came to save them, but were kicked out one by one by the wild boars.
Vomiting blood will not stop.
Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Fengjin shouted:
"slow!"
In this world, only Lin Fengjin could listen to what the wild boar said, so he grabbed the young man's neck and threw him to the ground. Lin Fengjin glanced at the wild boar and said:
"The vine net they used to catch us did not have poisonous thorns embedded in it, and they clearly had iron forks and other weapons, and they rushed up with wooden sticks. This shows that these people actually do not want our lives. Naturally, we have to
Keep a line as a human being so that we can meet each other easily in the future."
After hearing what Lin Fengjin said was very reasonable, the wild boar nodded slightly and stepped back. The group of beasts rushed over to help the young man up. Although they aimed their weapons at Lin Fengjin and the others, there were already three more people.
A very frightened look.
At this time, Gushan wanted to step forward to speak, but Lin Fengjin had already stepped forward, put his hand on his chest, then bowed and said:
"These warriors, we are guests from outside the mountain. We come with friendship and goodwill. We want to buy some medicinal materials. Why do you treat us the same way you treat Cai Lang?"
The young man who had just been caught by the wild boar stood up bravely and said angrily:
"Then why do you stand with this thief? What he and his tribe are best at is stealing our harvest!"
Lin Fengjin turned around and took a deep look at Gushan. Gushan immediately shouted:
"That mountain that looks like a mountain has been the property of our village since my grandfather's grandfather's time! Going there to hunt and collect herbs is our duty. What is stealing?"
The Wuman young man roared:
"During the severe drought twenty years ago, your village took my grandpa's three wild boars, five hundred kilograms of grain, and sold the mountain to our village. It's really shameless to say this now!
"
Disputes in these villages are commonplace, and there are often fights over 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?
If he directly broke the neck of this black barbarian young man, he would have to slaughter the village! Although wild boars are cruel and easy to kill, they would not act so unscrupulously, so they took half a step back and remained silent.
At this time, Lin Fengjin sent a message to the wild boar:
"If you want to help your brother Gu Shan, we can help him buy the use rights of several mountains. The disputes between the villages cannot be said to be right or wrong. They often last for hundreds of years, and there is wanton massacre in this wild mountain.
It’s not a good thing. It is said that there is a witch god here. We have a heavy responsibility now, so it’s better if we can avoid unnecessary complications."
After hearing this, the wild boar nodded silently.
At this time, suddenly there was black air flashing in the slanting thorn, and a sinister voice said:
"Who dares to touch my Uba warriors?"
Immediately afterwards, a black mist aimed at Lin Fengjin's face and rushed towards him. Lin Fengjin still did not feel the murderous intention from the black mist. After inhaling the black mist, he would at most have hallucinations and then become comatose.
While he remained calm, a bright water mirror suddenly appeared in front of him, driving away the black mist. Then Lin Fengjin said calmly:
"I came with goodwill and friendship. I repeat, we came here just to buy some medicinal materials. If the Uba warrior just felt that he was hurt, how about this dagger as my apology?
?”
After saying that, Lin Fengjin took a step forward and handed over a sheathed dagger.
In fact, if this dagger was made in Northern Qi or Nanzheng, it would just be an ordinary high-quality product. However, in this poor mountain and harsh water, the shark skin sheath of this dagger is also inlaid with gold edges, and the edge of the dagger is made by cold forging, with circles and circles.
The moiré pattern looks extraordinary.
The Uba warrior doubtfully took the dagger and pulled it out. His companions around him gasped and their eyes were full of envy. Uba played with it for a while with admiration, and then used it to sharpen it.
After cutting the branch, he reluctantly handed the dagger back directly and said straightforwardly:
"This dagger is too valuable, I can't take it."
Lin Fengjin refused to take the dagger and said to the rock wall next to him:
"Wizard, I am really sincere in purchasing the medicine, and this medicine is very important. I don't want to solve the problem with blood and weapons that can be solved with goods and money."
An old man with a stooped body suddenly appeared from behind the rock wall and said with anger in his eyes:
"What do you mean?"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"I'm just telling the truth,"
When he said these words, he suddenly opened his palms and raised them in front of his chest. Suddenly, he saw white mist swirling around him, and an ice flower the size of a fist quickly formed. It was very gorgeous and beautiful, and everyone else praised it. Lin
Feng Jin suddenly flicked his finger, and the ice flower flew into the dense forest next to it and exploded suddenly!
At this moment, the petals of the ice flower were countless rhombus-shaped ice flakes, which flew out in circles. With a series of loud noises, the forest immediately collapsed in half! All of them were completely destroyed by these extremely sharp ice flakes.
Destroyed! The remaining tree stumps are all only up to the knees, and they are even in height and very neat!
Lin Fengjin showed such a skill, which was naturally attributed to Shui'e in the Black Emperor Mirror on his waist, but how could others see it? Then Lin Fengjin said again:
"Seeing that your old eyelids are trembling, and your upper lip is red and your lower lip is pale, you must have some experience in Gu insects? Is that so? I will stand here without moving and not fight back, and let you drive the Gu insects to attack.
Three times, if you can let the Gu worm you raise touch me, then I will be considered a loser and I will just turn around and leave."
The hunched old man immediately said angrily:
"Okay! It's a deal!"
After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth, and saw his skinny neck squirming violently. Then, the wizard opened his mouth, and a winged creature flew out from the depths of his throat.
A red scorpion. Although this scorpion is small in size, it looks extremely energetic. It is squirming all the time, as if there is endless energy all over the body.
But the scorpion was hovering in the air. The wizard bit his finger and pointed the blood at Lin Fengjin. The red flying scorpion immediately aimed at Lin Fengjin and rushed towards him, but it flew to Lin Fengjin.
When he was within three feet of his body, he suddenly felt as if he had seen a ghost and flew away at an alarming speed. Even the sorcerer didn't care about the sorcerer's comfort and disappeared in the vast forest in an instant.
This Gu insect looks vicious, but a hint of aura from Tuhaojin is enough to make it run for its life.
The wizard was startled at this moment. He looked at Lin Fengjin carefully for a while, then sighed simply, muttered a few words to the Uba, then turned and walked away.
Lin Fengjin looked at Uba at this time and still smiled kindly:
"I am really a businessman who comes from outside the mountain to buy medicinal materials. I have no ill intentions towards everyone in the mountain. We have prepared enough goods to exchange for your products. Don't you still believe me now?"
Uba had already accepted Lin Fengjin's dagger at this time. It seemed that he really liked it, but he scratched his head and said nothing. Lin Fengjin was such a good person, and he immediately took out several more from his arms.
The cloth bags are very beautifully made, but they contain finger-sized pieces of brown sugar. There are seven or eight pieces in each cloth bag.
Although this brown sugar does not look very good-looking, Lin Fengjin used a wooden mold to make it when pressing it, so there are a series of patterns and patterns on it, which makes people feel more and more exquisite as they look at it. These unruly men see
When he saw the markings on it, he became even more surprised. When Lin Fengjin indicated that it was ready to eat, he couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.
Sugar has always been a luxury product. There is occasionally honey in the mountains, but it is rock honey on the cliffs. You often have to risk your life to collect it, and it is not productive yet. Therefore, after these people got the brown sugar cut into pieces, they
Very happy.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fengjin asked them to pick up the cloth bag and found that there was a small bag next to it. When he took it out, he found that it contained three embroidery needles and five threads. These gadgets were worthless.
, but it is a necessity of life, and it is difficult to produce it in this mountain. At this time, Lin Fengjin proposed to purchase medicinal materials again, Uba hesitated for a while, nodded, and the other men also tasted the sweetness, very simply
They nodded, but they all pointed at the ancient mountain and said fiercely:
"He is not welcome in our village!"
What could Gushan do at this time? He could only smile bitterly, and his face was a little hot, because he might have had the intention of using the wild boar to help. It would be fine if he said this directly, but he was doing this behind his back.
It was a bit embarrassing to have been seen through, but Lin Fengjin did not ignore him, but also gave him a generous gift and promised to buy some hills for their village. Gushan was naturally very happy.
***
Lin Fengjin wouldn't guess too much about Gushan's thoughts. To put it bluntly, as long as he could provide enough Haloxylon ammodendron wine, Lin Fengjin wouldn't do anything to him. Maybe the wild boar still has a relationship with Gushan, but Lin Fengjin
However, we only have a transactional relationship with him. Gushan's little tricks are understandable and are within Lin Fengjin's tolerance. For the sake of the wild boar, he will not treat him badly.
After probably walking less than five or six miles on the mountain road, Lin Fengjin followed Uba and others through a very dangerous zipline, and then came to their village.
Obviously, the people in the Shengman village where Uba was located were much more vigilant. When they saw an outsider entering, they immediately searched for the person. It was not until Uba waved his hand that he put down his weapon in doubt. It seemed that Uba
The status in the village is very high, and Lin Fengjin found that the people here are much poorer. In the village in Gushan, although everyone is wearing ragged clothes and patches, they can still cover their bodies, but in this village,
Only half of the people can wear tattered clothes, and the rest are covered in animal skins.
Uba brought Lin Fengjin to the open space inside their village. It seemed that this was also the place where the Shengman Village held various major ceremonies. There were three thick wooden stakes inserted around it, with the ends burnt. At this time
A lot of people have already come here, and it seems to be the nature of every human being to like to be aggressive.
Uba then pointed at Lin Fengjin and said loudly:
"This is a businessman from far away. He is a good man. Mr. Wu has also approved that he can come to the village to trade. Everyone must do business with him honestly. He is a friend."
While Uba was talking, Lin Fengjin had already laid out his goods, and at the same time, he simply grabbed a "strong man" beside him. He was the young man who had come to ambush Lin Fengjin with Uba earlier. This man
He was talking excitedly on the road and seemed to be quite outgoing.
Lin Fengjin grabbed him, stuffed him with two more brown sugar packets, and then explained to him. The young man named Bami immediately laughed happily and nodded repeatedly.
Soon, a large number of villagers were attracted by the snow-white salt, brown sugar, various tableware, and daily necessities displayed by Lin Fengjin. They were all sparkling in front of their eyes. From time to time, people came to ask for prices and help.
The Bami then came out very diligently and told these villagers that the merchants needed a large amount of herbs, and patiently told them the exchange ratio of various herbs.
The people in the village couldn't believe their ears. One black stone flower could be exchanged for two kilograms of refined salt! This refined salt was as white as the snow on the sacred mountain. I wonder if it was better than the ones sold by those vendors.
Ordinary black and yellow salt is much better. When they usually exchange with other tribes, they can't buy it no matter how high the price is!
In addition, the men's eyes are fixed on the sheathed daggers. The sheaths of these daggers are "quite exquisite" in workmanship (compared to their own weapons, of course). Of course, the daggers
The most important thing about this thing is its sharpness. A flashy embroidered pillow will not work, but when I pulled it out, I saw that the cloud patterns on it were very clear and the coldness was overwhelming. I picked up a piece of wood and compared it with my own.
The junk is a hundred times better!
For such a sheathed dagger, Bami went to ask that unscrupulous Han man, and he only wanted three herbs! Damn it, these herbs grow on the mountain for free, and at most they cost some hard work. Strength is such a thing.
After eating enough and taking a nap, wouldn’t it be like a leek that has been cut off and will grow back again?
What? The best white rice, one herb can be exchanged for ten pounds? Isn’t this giving away for free!?
Look! Uri had already happily picked a ginger flower that the Han wanted, but his arm was torn open by a ferocious Baja bird, and blood was flowing out. This kind of skin-breaking wound was too common.
Well, who among the warriors in the village is not covered with bruises?
This Han man weighed fifty kilograms of white rice for him! Fifty kilograms! This rice was like pearls. When he grabbed it, it flowed out from the gaps between his fingers. There was no sand or any stones.
There are no common grains either!
Hey, this Han man actually gave Uri some medicine. After Uri was applied on the wound, it stopped bleeding. The claws of this Baja bird are poisonous. If you are scratched by it, it will bleed for a day, right?
?According to the Han people, Uri was injured while collecting medicine for them, so the medicine was free of charge.
The older man had his eyes fixed on the medicine brought by the Han people. It is a well-known fact that the golden sore medicine of the Han people outside is very effective, and the goods brought by this man are all high-quality goods. At this time
The golden sore medicine that was brought out is also quite good. You can see that Uri is already waving his arms, picking up the rice happily and leaving. If he can change some, he might be able to save his life at the critical moment.
Of course, men's vision is different from that of women. Originally, women would not come out on such occasions, but the Han people were very kind. When they met those naughty children, everyone gave them a piece of brown sugar, and the little children chewed it happily.
There was a clicking sound, and the area near the stall he set up immediately seemed to have infinite magnetism, attracting all the little kids one by one.
Women have to take care of their children, so they have no choice but to carefully protect the stalls near the Han people. Under the temptation of the sweet brown sugar, the tried-and-true scares of the past have no effect on the naughty children.
, to them, the Han people are neither green-faced and fanged, nor will they eat them. Instead, they may get delicious food from them, so no one 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 piece as big as a palm can actually illuminate every hair clearly? And there is this fire folding piece. A piece as big as a palm can light up an open flame in a flash!
There was a woman who had the courage to ask about the price. She almost couldn't believe her ears. One medicinal herb could be exchanged for three things! Fire folds, mirrors, needlework, how could there be such a good thing in the world? What a shame at home.
The dead ghost has gone hunting and hasn't come back. If this Han man leaves, he will have to exchange these three things for a tiger skin, and he may not be able to exchange for such good goods.
Ah, there is also satin here. It is really smooth when you touch it. The Han people have a good temper. I touched a few black handprints on it and smiled. For such a big piece of satin, only five herbs are needed.
!It really drives people crazy!
Alas, this Han man is really stubborn. He only wants herbs and nothing else. Other merchants like skins and silver bullion the most, but he doesn't want anything else.
Hey? The ancestors also came out, and the Han people didn’t kneel down when they saw the ancestors. It seemed that the two of them were talking very speculatively, ah! The ancestors seemed to have taken a fancy to the Han people’s goods, and the Han people took them out.
The thing exchanged with the ancestor was elixir? The ancestor seemed very satisfied.
