Huwa knew very well that if he didn't eat it, Tian Xiao and Weiwei would never eat it either. Now seeing these two people devouring their food so deliciously, he was very happy, and felt that the food in his mouth was the most delicious food in the world.
Huwa is just a young man in the human world. He is not an immortal immortal in the sacred land of the Imperial City. No matter in terms of cultivation or state of mind, it is impossible for him not to eat the fireworks of the world. In his opinion, the five-color sacred lotus, yam, or barbecue
They are both food, but the former has more spiritual effects that are beneficial to cultivation, and can be used to satisfy hunger for a longer period of time.
But there are so many elixirs of immortality in the world for people to take. In the human world, this is the norm at this moment. With two plates full of meat, Tian Xiao and Panhu each ate about half of the plate, and the one who ate the most was the most slender and weak.
Miss Weiwei, she ate more than half of the plate. Huwa chewed carefully and only ate less than half of the plate.
Both the meat and the noodle soup exuded an appetizing aroma, and they were almost eaten in no time. Even the bones were gnawed clean. Tian Xiao also picked up stones and smashed the big bone sticks to remove the marrow.
They also ate it carefully. After finishing a plate of meat, Tian Xiao and Panhu started to drink the noodle soup, and Huwa stopped eating. The old man, the child and the dog watched the girl eat alone.
Weiwei was so engrossed in eating that she didn't even realize that others were looking at her. When there were only the last two big bone sticks with meat left in the pottery plate, Weiwei stretched out her hand
He shrank back again, wiped his mouth, raised his head, and said sheepishly: "I've eaten too much, I'm full."
Of course she was very full. I am afraid she has never eaten meat so freely. Huwa smiled and said: "We are full too. There is still more here. If you want to eat, you can continue to eat."
Weiwei burped and shook her head: "I really can't eat anymore, thank you Gonggong!"
Huwa added: "Xiaobo, if you eat the last two pieces, we can't waste them."
Tian Xiao shook his head and refused, saying that he had already eaten. Then he looked at the two pieces of meat and hesitated. Huwa realized something and said to Weiwei: "Your mother is still at home, right? You will go home later."
When the time comes, take these two pieces of meat with you."
Weiwei was surprised and delighted: "Is this really okay? I've already eaten so much, how can I take away more?"
Huwa smiled and said, "It's okay if I say yes. This is also my order."
Weiwei thanked her repeatedly and suddenly remembered something. She quickly washed her hands in the pottery basin and held up the leather robe that she had just placed on the ground and presented it to her: "Master Gonggong, the patriarch of the clan sees you.
My clothes are thin and I don’t bring anything else with me. I specially asked me to bring you a leather robe to keep out the cold. You can also cover your body when you sleep at night. Your figure should be almost perfect."
Huwa also washed his hands in the pottery basin and took the leather robe. This robe was not sewn from one skin of one animal, but from the best skins of several animals. The workmanship was very delicate.
, the deliberately spliced pattern is also very beautiful. It is thick where it should be thick and soft where it should be soft. It is a very exquisite dress.
Weiwei continued: "This robe is new. It was made just before winter this year. It was originally worn by the third daughter of the patriarch's family. The fur is very good, the body is very thick, and the sleeves are very soft. It was sewn by my mother herself.
"
Huwa took the robe. He looked at the empty plate that contained the meat and said with emotion: "Your clan leader is very generous. He is really willing to give it up."
Tian Xiao sneered and said: "How generous is this! What he asked you to do is to fight against the monsters and bandits. He not only protects Baixi Village but also his own home. How can a mere meal of meat and a leather robe be compared with yours?"
Compared with the risks you take?...Little sir, I am very grateful that you agreed to the patriarch's request, but you have not yet made a request to me. The patriarch only said that he would try his best to repay, but did not explain clearly how he would repay."
Huwa: "This is what I want to do. I don't care how Baixi Village repays me, as long as it's worth it."
Tian Xiao still shook his head and said: "Although you don't care about this, Baixi Village must not do this. We must make it clear in advance how we will thank you. Whether it is for your safety or the safety of Baixi Village, we cannot just rely on you.
In this half month, I will try my best to invite other experts to help me. If I don’t explain the conditions clearly and provide a sufficiently generous reward, I won’t be able to invite others!"
This makes sense, and Huwa also believes it. Today, Bai Xiying led a group of people to catch up with Huwa, kowtow and beg on the road, which made Huwa tempted, and because of her kind thoughts, she agreed to stay and protect Baixi Village. Bai Xiying only said that she would
Thank you but didn't say how you want to thank me. This is purely to fool children, and only people like Huwa will nod.
If we were to replace another monk, Bai Xiying would probably not be able to invite him based on his empty talk without clear terms and remuneration. After all, fighting against monsters and ferocious bandits may be life-threatening. Tian Xiao also told Weiwei
, I called Bai Xiying later and said that Mr. Gonggong asked him to come here to discuss the matter.
Then Huwa talked about the Shanjiao Tribe. Since they and Baixi Village have coexisted harmoniously and had an interdependent relationship for nearly a hundred years, why would those pig-headed men be bewitched and want to loot Baixi Village? If this can succeed,
It may be of some benefit for the time being, but it will not be a good thing for the Shanyao people in the future! If it fails, there will be consequences.
Tian Xiao sneered again: "The stupid brains of those pig-headed people can rarely think so far-term. And even if their clan leader is a sensible person, he probably hates Baixi Village in his heart. In my opinion, there is no difference between Shanjiao Clan and Baixi Village.
Sooner or later, there will be a conflict, and it’s no wonder that Bai Xiying and his gang are so shameless. But I didn’t expect that it would be such a situation, that they would actually become the accomplices of the rogue bandits.”
The demon clan in the deep mountains usually rarely interact with outsiders, and their appearance can easily scare people. Since ancient times, the Shanjiao people have only been in contact with Baixi Village. The two parties exchanged each other's products and each took what they needed. Today, the clan leader gave
The fur of the robe Huwa sent was obtained from the Shangao tribe.
This kind of exchange is a buying and selling relationship, but the buyers and sellers are not businessmen. The things they exchange are produced and needed by themselves. In that era, business was greatly restricted, and ordinary people simply did not have the ability or ability to do so.
Strength, purchasing and hoarding large quantities of goods that one does not need, just to transport them to other places and sell them to others to make a profit.
Merchants who do not engage in production but only seek profit do not have a high status in people's eyes, and are often subject to official restrictions. Most of the caravans Huwa has seen are organized by various city outlines and carry official
background.
There are also many shops in Shanshui City, where people from various tribes exchange things, but those people are not real merchants. They just bring their own products on behalf of each tribe, exchange them for what they need, and then transport them back. Between Baixi Village and Shanjiao Tribe
The exchange of goods between the clansmen was like this in the past. But when Bai Xiying became the clan leader, the situation changed.
Bai Xiying used his status as the clan leader to organize and monopolize trade with the Shanyao tribe. He organized a centralized exchange of the products of the clan with the Shanyao tribe, and was able to gain a lot of advantage every time. This situation was not a big deal at first.
But later on, things became more and more excessive. For example, old wheat grains were mixed with newly harvested wheat grains, and even shriveled husks were added; dried yam that had been stored in the warehouse for a long time and was about to go bad was exchanged for it.
Pigs raised by the Shangao people.
The reason why Bai Xiying dared to do this was because he knew two things. First, those pig-headed people were stupid and obviously not as smart as Bai Xiying. Sometimes they couldn't even react when they suffered a loss. Secondly, the Shanjiao people had no other choice.
I only do business with the people of Baixi Village, and I don’t know whether it’s good or bad without comparison, so I can only agree to any conditions, as long as they still want to exchange.
On the surface, this approach has brought more benefits to Baixi Village. They can exchange for less products for more things. Of course, the person who benefits the most is Bai Xiying himself, and he either personally handles these trades.
, or send his cronies to do it. If he can't use the things he exchanged from the Shanjiao tribe, he can also sell them to other villages or even city walls.
But in Tian Xiao's view, Bai Xiying's approach is destined not to last long. Although those pig-headed people are stupid, they are not really brainless. Sooner or later, they will realize that Baixi Village is bullying people and will be angered. And Shan
The leader of the Gao Clan, Zhu Sanxian, is said to be a monk in the Third Realm. He is not an easy character to deal with. Sooner or later, he will conflict with Baixi Village.
If Bai Xiying is retaliated by the Shanjiao people, she deserves it, and Tian Xiao is even happy to see it. But now that the Shanjiao people have gone beyond the limit, Baixi Village will face a disaster, so it must first overcome the immediate difficulties.
When Tian Xiao was accusing the patriarch Bai Xiying of various misdeeds, Weiwei kept her head down and did not dare to interrupt. However, Huwa kept asking questions curiously. It seems that just like the people and things in the world introduced by the mountain god, the relationship between Baixi Village and Huwa grew up
The big Lu Village is indeed different, and Bai Xiying is not a clan leader like Shan Ye or Gu Xin.
Huwa asked Tian Xiao again, how he planned to deal with the enemy? In his opinion, he would only stay to deal with the masters among the monsters or bandits. To protect the village, all the people in Baixi Village would have to pick up weapons and form a battle formation. But Tian Xiao
The answer is not too complicated. It is nothing more than relying on the village walls to set up defenses, seizing the time to build weapons, organizing the tribesmen into small teams to fight, and then asking experts to lead the teams.
Huwa said curiously: "When I heard the news today, your clan leader and other clan members were all panicked. But Xiaobo, when you talked about these things, you didn't look very nervous or scared."
Tian Xiao sighed and said: "Because I have experienced war. When I was on the border battlefield, there were often killings. At the beginning, I was really nervous every day and felt very panic. Later, I gradually got used to it. If something like this happens,
You have to face it. The more you panic, the worse your outcome may be. The only time you should be nervous is during the battle. Now you just need to be calm and prepared.
I am already old, and my time is short anyway. I wanted to go back to my hometown to retire quietly, but I didn’t expect that I would still have to go to the battlefield. But these people of my tribe have lived a comfortable life for too long, and they have even forgotten this.
How did a hundred years of comfort come about? If this continues, even if today's incident does not occur, other incidents will occur in the future, and it is time to be vigilant." (To be continued...)
