Chapter 45: Zhuhui Caravan There are more than just two caravans fleeing famine in the valley...
There were more than just their two fleeing caravans in the valley.
Ye Lu noticed that there were other groups of people fleeing famine, and there were also several groups of people that were obviously much smaller in number. It should be that some villages heard that there was a market here and sent teams here specifically for exchange.
The valley was very big, with a large open space in the middle. The open space had been cleaned up in advance, and there was already a team stationed in the center. Torches illuminated the valley, and the light of the flames was reflected on people's faces. Among them, a tall figure in a black robe was the most eye-catching.
That figure was a head taller than his companions.
Behind the black-robed man, large and small packages of merchandise were tied to the carriage and piled up into the shape of a small hill. On the far side of the carriage, there were huge strange beasts lying down, chewing grass from time to time. These strange beasts were completely different from the strange beasts driven by the villagers. They were much bigger and more robust, similar to rhinos but without horns. They looked majestic even when they were lying on the ground, and it was hard to imagine what the scene would be like when they stood up.
Except for the black-robed man at the head of the caravan, most of the others were wearing long robes and moving around near the trucks. Some of them had already set up tents, and the huge tents were particularly conspicuous. The people in the caravan were greeting the incoming village convoys.
The playful man stared at the figures without moving, without holding the rope in his hand, and let the blue ox follow the team in front.
"Hmm?" Ye Lu looked at the playful man.
Xi Mingren still stared at those figures, even from such a distance he could feel the surging power coming from the opposite side. He said: "So strong." That Taoist was the strongest he had met since he came to this world. Not only in strength, but also in talent, Xi Mingren could clearly sense it.
"Which village are you from?" As soon as He Cun arrived, a sharp-eyed boy saw him and hurried over, guiding the leading strange beast to an empty place on the side while asking.
"Hecun!" Qian Bacun came out of the carriage and answered the young man's question loudly: "We are also here to exchange at the market."
It was a pity that the young man didn't know the name of Hecun. He thought hard about it and found that there was no village called Hecun in his memory.
"Idiot, it's not from this side, it must be a village where people are fleeing from famine!" The companion behind the young man ran out in three or two steps, slapped him on the head, then pulled him behind him and greeted Qian Bacun.
The young man subconsciously covered the part that was hurt by the slap. When he heard this, he forgot about the pain and his first reaction was to say "It's impossible". "It's impossible. How can they be fleeing from famine? This monster is considered to be the most powerful monster we have ever seen."
Zhu Bai's face darkened when he heard this. He had already said that he would not let the little fool Lu Hui come over. How could he tell someone to flee famine in front of him? Besides, couldn't it be that they were stronger? If he thought about it, the strength of this team of refugees must be not bad.
As soon as Luhui saw Zhu Bai's expression, he knew he had said the wrong thing. He quickly covered his mouth and stopped talking. He then lowered his head dejectedly, indicating that he would definitely not say another word after that.
Zhu Bai glared at Lu Hui, then raised his head and asked Qian Bacun with a smile: "Then your village must have some good strange plants, right?"
"Not only that, it's a strange plant of the Huangli grade handed down from our ancestors." Qian Bacun pretended not to hear the conversation just now and was not angry at all. It was more like the young man's words just hit the nail on the head. During the entire journey of fleeing from the famine, their He Village was the only one who remained steady throughout the whole journey.
They didn't lose face at the market, which shows that their village is capable.
Sure enough, it was Huangli level. Zhu Bai was delighted. This was one of the few Huangli level strange plants they encountered since they came to this area. No wonder the momentum of this team named Hecun was different since they entered the valley.
God knows how hard it was for this group of youngsters to follow Zhu Hui to this deserted place in the west to open up a trade route. Not only could they not eat much strange food, but they didn't even encounter a few villages with strange plants along the way. The ones they encountered were either low-level or white-level strange plants, and their effects could only be said to be within the scope of strange plants.
Now, I finally encountered a Huangli-level strange plant.
"You guys just rest here for a while, and then you can go to the caravan to exchange." Zhu Bai diligently led the Hecun team to an empty corner where there were no teams around. When he finished speaking, he also pointed to the caravan in the center in the distance.
"All the weirdness above Baiyou level in the valley has been cleared away, don't worry." Zhu Hui added.
Qian Bacun looked in the direction Zhu Bai pointed. Hmm, it was a familiar merchant from Shizhu Village. He nodded and said, "Thank you."
After doing all this, Zhu Bai smiled and ran away with Lu Hui. He had to go back to the caravan to help.
Ye Lu and his companions had also let their blue ox lie down when the convoy stopped, added some dry food, and then came over with some laurel leaves in their pockets. They happened to hear this conversation, and then the two of them ran away smilingly.
"These are the rules of Shizhu Village." Qian Bacun looked at the confused faces of Ye Lu and the other three and explained: "When they are on the road for business, they either go to each village to exchange goods, or they set up a market. The former only needs to ensure the safety of their own caravan, while the latter needs to ensure the safety of the entire market station."
"Those two young men should be the children of Shizhu Village, who came out with the caravan to see the world."
"Generally speaking, if a businessman can become an independent businessman in Shizhu Village, he must be very powerful."
"You guys can go out and have some fun. This base is safe. You don't have to stay in the team all the time." Qian Bacun also spoke to the ghost scholar and the playful man behind him.
"Lu, wait a minute and go exchange with Uncle He San and the others. There weren't that many people in the team when we came in, so it should be our turn soon." Qian Bacun was afraid that Ye Lu would join in the fun, so he reminded him not to forget his business.
Ye Lu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to think too much. He had planned to stay here from the beginning and wait until the exchange was over before seeing what was going on. The Ghost Scholar and the Hilarious Man had their own things to do, so he went straight to find Fourth Uncle He. He remembered that Fourth Uncle was also in the exchange team.
In fact, the caravan came to greet people faster than expected.
Not long after Ye Lu went to find Uncle He and the others, the caravan had already called people over to exchange.
Uncle He San was in front, and Uncle He Si and Ye Lu were behind. The three of them walked towards the central caravan base not far away, from the caravan base all the way to the tents deep inside. Along the way, the red and white young man came over to lead the way and said, "The leader of our caravan is the red and gray trickster. You'll know once you go in." As he spoke, the young man led the three of them to the man in black robe.
"Chief, I have brought the people here." Zhu Bai shouted loudly, then waved to Ye Lu and the others and left the tent.
The tent is very tall and the material of the tent is very special and very delicate, like some kind of silk.
It was only at this time that the three of them saw the leader of the caravan with their own eyes.
The man in black robe.
He was very tall, his entire body wrapped in a black robe. From under the hood, one could only vaguely see his face and a few eyes on his cheeks.
"Nice to meet you. I'm the leader of this caravan - Zhu Hui." Zhu Hui introduced himself to the three people in a hoarse and low voice. It was obvious that he was very rich. Although the three people could not recognize the furnishings in the tent, they could feel the strong mysterious power in them. It was obvious that they were of great value.
"Nice to meet you, it's my first time. My surname is He, and I'm from He Village. Behind me are my two younger generations." Uncle He San did not look down on Zhu Hui's youthfulness and remained cautious.
Zhu Hui stood in the tent. It was obviously a merchant tent. There were only decorations and goods. There was no coffee table. Everyone could trade as soon as possible. "What do you want to trade? I have everything here."
Uncle He San nodded and said, "We in He Village grow strange plants all year round. There is a yellow-level strange plant in the village, called Qing Mi Zi. The strange food it produces can make people strong and healthy."
In order to prevent this caravan leader, whom he met for the first time, from having never heard of green millet, Uncle He San specially took out the green millet and signaled the other party to have a look.
The dark green millet exudes a strong and strange smell in the wooden box.
What happened was actually beyond his expectations.
"Are you saying that green millet is grown in your village?" Zhu Hui had a strange look on his face, and his tone rose unconsciously.
The three of them didn't understand why and nodded.
Zhu Hui took three or two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and took a piece of green millet from Uncle He San's hand. He closed his eyes and felt it for a moment. He was familiar with the ability to enhance the toughness of flesh and blood. However, because the quality of the strange plant was too low, it needed to be taken for a long time.
"It is indeed green millet." Zhu Hui opened his eyes and said without hesitation: "How many are there in total? I'll take them all. What do you want?"
The most important thing for the people of Shizhu Village when they are doing business is their great strength and power, which enables them to safely pass through the uninhabited wilderness. In order to do business more safely, every person in Shizhu Village will focus on finding strange food that can enhance their strength talent.
This kind of strange food is not rare, and they can find it by spending some time. However, as their strength increases, the burden on their flesh and blood will increase, so they will have to look for strange food that can enhance the toughness of their flesh and blood, and the latter is much more difficult.
The merchants of Shizhu Village have visited every force in the deep mountains and old forests, but they have only found three kinds of strange food that can enhance the toughness of flesh and blood.
Until one day Green Poison returned to the village and brought a strange food called green millet. Only then did the number of crops in their village increase from three to four.
Green Poison has always been a dark guy and has a bad relationship with their faction. He is rarely willing to trade with them. Zhu Hui and his friends have always been turned down and can only go and look for it themselves.
I met Green Poison not long ago. The old guy sighed and said that the village where he planted green millet was hit by drought and the Great Drought Mother had passed again. He was afraid that the strange plants would be in danger and he had lost a lot of money.
I never expected that the village actually survived and is doing well.
Zhu Hui couldn't wait to get his share of the green millet. Damn that cruel Green Du, he deserved to starve.
"One green millet can be exchanged for two yellow-level strange beads. Sorry, because the level of this strange plant is not high enough, I can only give you this price." Zhu Hui nodded at Uncle He San. He could tell who was in charge of this trip, so he told the price in his mind truthfully.
"I have grass-type strange beads, vine-type strange beads, and the rare tree-type strange beads. I also have strange beads of other attributes."
"If you don't want the strange beads, I still have strange food in my caravan for you to choose from. You can first tell me what you want it to do, and then I'll give you suggestions. Of course, you can also propose a specific strange food, such as the newly cultivated clever fish meat of the Mi Tribe in the King's Court of Beasts."
