Kuai Chuan's face-slapping gold finger

Chapter 94

Erdu Mountain is the highest mountain in the Ai River Basin. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round. .

When the Han tribe crossed the snow mountain with difficulty, they finally saw the blood crocodile flag flying in the wind.

Every year, the trade fair is the busiest time in Qibu. More than 2 people from nearby tribes flock to the market. People come and go in the market, and most of them are dressed in different clothes—some tribes are used to wearing them on their necks. Wearing animal bone rings, from their infancy, they wear one set a year, and their necks will be very long when they become adults; some tribes will cut their lower lip to separate their connection with the gums , and put a clay-fired plate between the lower lip and the gums. As the cub grows older, the plate inside the lip will become larger and larger, and eventually the lower lip is large enough to cover the entire face; some tribes They will pierce densely packed animal bones on their bodies, most of which are polished from the ribs of ferocious beasts, which are their medals of glory.

Many people in the Han team who participated in the trade fair for the first time were amazed, but Zui Miaojun and Yang Zhao were like a bolt from the blue. A breeze!
God, we will never slander you again, we will kneel down and thank you for your mercy!
"Hey, Qibu really deserves to be a big tribe." Someone said with emotion, his words were full of envy and regret.

The area here is much wider than that of Han, and the houses are neatly built, most of which are stone houses, and only a few wooden houses can be seen in the most corners.The street was also cleaned very neatly, the muddy ground was repaired very smooth, there were small stalls lined up on both sides of the road, each stall was covered with animal skins, and various goods were piled up on it, except for salt, mines, slaves, etc. The materials exchanged cover almost all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

And the market where they live is full of people, compared with the coldness of the Han, everything is so lively.

Several tribesmen who had just arrived were downcast by the huge gap between the two sides, and even warriors like Hao who had been going to and from the tribe all year round were inevitably lost.For them, every trade fair will always encounter all kinds of strange eyes. After all, the Han civilization has a long-standing influence on the Ai River Basin, and the once-prominent great tribe has now become a country bumpkin in the eyes of others. Even some No medium-sized tribe can compare.

Haozheng sighed faintly, the excitement of killing the Xiaobu along the way was finally awakened by reality, but it was just solving a vassal of the Qibu, the real threat did not disappear.

"Which tribe are those two people from? That half-beast female's dress is so beautiful."

"I don't know, maybe the tolerance comes from some big tribe?"

"Hey, isn't the orc next to them from the Han Dynasty?"

After listening to the discussion, Hao finally raised his head, just in time to see someone pointing at him.

"Those two people are so close to the Han tribe, do they also belong to the Han tribe?"

"Impossible, the Han tribe has long since fallen, and now even our tribe is inferior."

The two didn't mind being discovered by Hao at all, and they still talked calmly.

"But the Han tribe was once very strong."

"That was many years ago, look at them." One of them pointed at Hao again, "Everyone is timid, how is it like the Han Dynasty back then?"

Hao: "..." Do you want to be so straightforward?

He turned his head to look at Li and Yue beside him. They held their heads up high, their eyes were calm, and they always had soft smiles on their faces. There was surprise in their eyes, but no trace of frustration.

Hao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Even though the Han tribe is not what it used to be, Li Heyue is still calm, and can still get the envy and courtesy of others.He has always understood that the dignity of the tribe is supported by every member of the tribe, but at this moment he realizes unprecedentedly that the tribe protects them, and they also represent the tribe. Thinking of this, he puffed up his chest and raised his head higher.

He comes from the oldest and greatest Han tribe in the Ai River Basin. Their history is like a song, and their wisdom is like a lamp. Of course they can stand upright and move forward.

Perhaps it was Li and Yue's attitude that could really bluff people. When Hanbu set up the stall, the surrounding area was already very lively. They were surprised that there were two such beautiful people in Hanbu, and they looked forward to the supplies they prepared.

"What is this?" A tall orc came up and asked, pointing to a can of ingredients that had been uncovered. Yu Miaojun noticed that the pendant on his chest was also the totem of the Frost Leopard. She quickly responded Come over, the other party also belonged to the Han tribe, but was later separated.

In the Ai River Basin, there are more than a dozen such tribes.They and the Han tribe originally belonged to the same origin, but now they are separated from each other.

"It's cured meat, it's made with a lot of ingredients and it keeps for a long time, especially in winter."

The man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Bacon? Can I have a taste?"

"Of course." Hao suddenly came from behind and said courteously.

Seeing the visitor followed by seven or eight slaves, each of whom was carrying a large box filled with supplies, he immediately felt anticipation in his heart.

Ali taught them to marinate the cured meat. It is said that the method originated from Lan.Wild animals rarely appear in the Ai River Basin in winter, and meat is the staple food of the tribe. In previous years, enough fresh meat was saved in advance in autumn, and then stored in the cellar, but the meat that had been frozen for a long time was either too old or had The smell is really not very tasty.At this time, the appearance of cured meat is very precious, and the tribe has specially prepared a lot. I hope that at this fair, they can exchange this special food material for more supplies.

This decision was very risky, and he didn't know if other tribes would like it, so he was very careful.

Hao gently cut a small piece of bacon with a bone knife, put it on a green leaf, and handed it to the guest enthusiastically, then stared at him intently.Seeing that person frowned first, as if he thought it was too salty, Hao's heart suddenly lifted, and then the other person chewed again, his eyes lit up suddenly, and his expression seemed to enjoy.

Sure enough, the guest asked, "How do I change it?"

Hao recognized that the other party was from Tangbu, where a very sweet berry was abundant, not perishable, and could be made into syrup, so he thought for a while and said, "A can of bacon is exchanged for a hundred berries."

"Too much." The other party shook his head and immediately bargained.

Hao is an honest man, and when he heard it, he said anxiously: "This kind of cured meat is very troublesome to make, I didn't lie to you!"

Seeing that he didn't let go, the man made a gesture to leave.

Hao's heart was flustered, and he opened his mouth to stop him, maybe, maybe it can be less?At least change out first, he was really worried... But Yue suddenly gestured to him, telling him to leave it alone.

Although Hao was puzzled, he trusted Yue all the way, so he kept silent, but his expression was somewhat regretful.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the guest came back again, and said with a bit of helplessness on his face: "Very good, you have won."

Yu Miaojun smiled slightly, the orcs in this world are still too simple, everything is written on their faces, and their acting skills are so poor that they can only win the golden raspberry actor.

The transaction was successfully completed, the guest's eyes stayed on Li Heyue for a moment, and suddenly said: "The Han part finally looks a little different, I am very happy."

After speaking, he took the slave and left, and Hao was in a daze during the whole process.

With the success of the first transaction, the cured meat of the Han Department quickly became famous in the market. In addition to the rest of the goods they brought, they got more supplies than expected in just two days, but everyone was still worried. No exhibition, because they have not been able to get the most important material - salt.

At the trade fair every year, each tribe can exchange salt tokens for table salt, and one salt token can be exchanged for ten jars of salt, which is enough to feed a hundred adults for a year.As for the acquisition of salt cards, each tribe needs to exchange materials that the Qibu is interested in. This year, the goal of the Hanbu is to exchange for [-] salt tiles. High, salt brand supply is limited.

However, everyone knows that the only salt field in the Ai River Basin is in the territory of Xibu, and even Cangbu is not as convenient as them. They say this just to raise the price.Of course, Xibu didn't dare to offend too many tribes, but it was just a small tribe that was favored by them, but didn't want to attach themselves to them.

Obviously, most of the Han Dynasty is among them.

"I really don't know what trick they are going to come up with?!" Hao said angrily.

At the same time, he was worried. In recent years, the Qibu's power has expanded rapidly, and their style of work has become more and more tough. I wonder how much patience they have with the Hanbu?

With such worries in mind, when they heard the people of the Xi tribe exchanging the salt tokens, they told them coldly: "The salt tokens are not enough. We have already sent a message to the elders of the Han tribe. Since you only brought half of the annual production of steel and stone, you can only buy them." We can share one hundred salt cards equally with Xubu." At that moment, Hao was actually relieved, with an inexplicable sense of steadfastness, so calm that he himself was surprised.

"Half the annual output of steel and stone is already a lot. At first it was only [-]%, but it was [-]%, [-]%. Now you want all of them? Besides, fifty salt cards are not enough for our tribe, and we need at least a hundred." Hao said with a blank face, as if he was completing a task, he knew it was useless to say anything.

"Sorry, there are really no more." The Xi tribe looked embarrassed: "Why don't you discuss it with the Xu department?"

Hao sneered, Xubu was the first tribe to rebel after the decline of the Han tribe. They joined Qibu 80 years ago. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are Qibu's cronies. The tribe has a population of only 6000 and [-] salt per year. He had enough cards, and he couldn't think of any reason why the other party would help them.

"Yes, I can give up all fifty salt cards to Han."

Hao was taken aback.

"As long as you are willing to make a bet with us."

"What are you gambling?"

"Death fight."

Yu, who led the Xubu team, had dark lips, and when he grinned, his teeth looked extraordinarily white and cold.

"How about a showdown with me?"

As soon as the words came out, many people around them started clamoring.

1 years ago, the orc world was still a matrilineal society. When males reached adulthood, they usually fought for females through duels. This kind of duel was called a death fight regardless of life or death.With the migration and changes of civilization, the orc world is now dominated by males, and they will no longer duel for females, but the mode of deathmatch has been inherited.

Deathmatch does not mean that you will definitely die, but you must be prepared to die.

Nowadays, males rarely use this method to resolve disputes, but the challenge of a deathmatch represents the dignity of a male from the very beginning. If you retreat, you will definitely be ridiculed by everyone.

Hao's eyelids twitched imperceptibly, it was a conspiracy!

With such a small population, Xubu can become the sharpest knife in the hands of Xibu, not only because they worked early, but more importantly, they almost dominated the Ai River Basin in terms of single-player combat power. into climate.

And Yu Zheng was one of the best fighters in the market, such a person actually proposed a death fight to them?
promise?The desperate ending is mostly inevitable to die, and once you lose the Hanbu, you will not get a little salt.

reject?Hao looked at the crowd watching the show and remained silent.

He is in a dilemma, this is the purpose of Qibu!
The harder their situation is, the easier it will be for Sube's aggression!
"What? Don't you dare?" Yu sneered, "The Han tribe, who were arrogant in the past, can only shrink their eggs now?"

A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the crowd. They may not necessarily hate the Han tribe, but seeing the once proud king fall from the altar, and the situation is worse than theirs, many people will have an indescribable sense of superiority. This feeling can always be easily overcome. to please them.

Hao raised his head, stared at Yu fiercely, his teeth were clenched, his body was tense, his hands were clenched into fists, it seemed that he was about to explode in the next moment, but he just took a deep breath, and took another deep breath, and finally softened Shoulder.The people in the Han tribe were speechless. Some of them stared at the ground silently, some were ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground, some were numb, some were sad, but no one resisted, not a single one.

Seeing that they were so thoroughly humiliated, everyone laughed even more freely. Yu proudly raised his chin at the Xi tribe, and the other party smiled helplessly, as if all this was just an insignificant joke.

While many people ridiculed, they were also a little bit disappointed. Hanbu really couldn't do it.

At this moment, someone suddenly said: "I accept your challenge."

Hao turned around, and it really was Li.
