Chapter 112: Real Snake God? (Please add to favorites and recommend)
You Fu rode on the back of a deer, with his two three- and four-year-old sons sitting in his arms, and his tribesmen following him. There was another tribe traveling with them - the Snake Tribe.
The Snake Tribe had 30 people, no, there were 30 people standing on the ground, and there was one person not standing on the ground.
Among them, 10 were warriors who had already grown up, and the rest were 10 boys and 10 girls. Their leader was an old man with white hair and a white beard, who was the witch of their tribe.
This snake witch was the most special one Luo Chong had seen since he came to this world, because this old guy was sitting in a sedan chair. It was a sedan chair carried by four people
, but it was not vivid enough to call it a sedan chair. The thing he sat on was more like a sedan chair mentioned by the mountain people in southern China. The
sedan chair was made of two strong bamboo poles with a bamboo chair tied in the middle. It was usually carried by two people, which was very convenient for walking on mountain roads. Moreover, because the bamboo poles were elastic, the people sitting on them would rock up and down, which was very comfortable.
But the sedan chair the old guy was sitting on was not made of bamboo, but two long saplings. The middle was not a chair, but a flat wooden raft made of sticks, with hay and animal skins on it. It was carried by four strong men, and the old guy sat cross-legged on it, with a green snake lazily basking in the sun coiled around his body.
If he shaved his head, held an alms bowl in his hand, and hung a string of large prayer beads, Luo Chong would definitely take him for Fahai.
Xiaoqing, you have suffered a lot.
"Chief Han, I didn't expect you to come so early. I thought you would come a day later. Let me introduce you. This is the snake witch of the snake tribe. The one on his body is the snake god of their tribe.
Their snake god is really divine. No matter what kind of venomous snake bites you, as long as the snake god bites you again, you will be healed and you will not be poisoned to death. When I was a child, I was bitten by a venomous snake. It was my father who took me to the snake god to treat the wound. Isn't it amazing?"
You Fu proudly boasted to Luo Chong, as if he had a good relationship with the snake tribe. However, the snake god he said
was definitely a false god, but it might be true that he could cure snake venom.
Luo Chong had heard in his previous life that some ancient mountain doctors were good at raising medicinal snakes. Most of them raised poisonous snakes with strong toxicity and trained them from childhood to treat snake venom.
To explain it with modern science, after the training, the medicinal snake does not secrete pure venom, but a kind of anti-snake venom serum.
You should know that modern medical treatment for this kind of snake bite can only be treated with the corresponding anti-snake venom serum, and the anti-snake venom serum happens to be extracted from snake venom, which is the so-called fighting poison with poison.
So Luo Chong believes that the domesticated venomous snake can directly secrete anti-snake venom serum, because it can be explained both theoretically and scientifically. It
's just that this practice is very strange. Not everyone has the courage to accept such a domineering treatment method of fighting poison with poison.
But facing a doctor in the primitive era, due respect should still be given. Luo Chong put his right hand on his chest and nodded slightly to the snake witch. The snake witch also nodded in return, but the old guy's eyes were always fixed on Luo Chong's ox cart.
Riding a deer is not rare anymore. After all, You Fu came with the snake witch on a deer, but Luo Chong's ox cart is much more advanced than the snake witch's sedan chair. This is equivalent to the difference between a Rolls-Royce and a human-powered tricycle. It is not of the same order of magnitude.
Even though the snake witch was so old, the experienced old man could only secretly praise him and said, "You have learned a lot."
"Leader Han, it's less than two days' journey from here to Dream Valley. Why don't we go together?" You Fu suggested to Luo Chong.
"Okay, no problem. It's safer with more people. Let's go together." Luo Chong also agreed.
In this way, the four teams set off again, with a total number of nearly 160 people.
Luo Chong and You Fu rode deer in front. This time You Fu led the way. He knew which road was easier to walk and could allow the ox cart to pass. The snake witch followed the ox cart in a sedan chair and carefully watched how the ox cart was made, as well as the wheels that kept spinning.
You Fu looked at the dozen riders behind Luo Chong and was very envious. It would be great if his You tribe could ride deer like this, so he asked Luo Chong again.
"Han leader, do you have any tasks for us? I want to get some more horned beasts."
Luo Chong glanced at him, then looked at the tribesmen riding deer behind him. To be honest, he really didn't want to trade livestock anymore, because the Han tribe didn't have many of them.
"Fu, why do you have to ask me to exchange horned beasts? These horned beasts were all caught by me. You can also catch them yourself." Luo Chong asked in confusion. "
But we can't catch them alive. Sometimes when we see a few deer, we can only kill them directly with spears. We can't catch them. And as soon as we get close, they will run away immediately. Sometimes it's difficult to kill one." You Fu spread his hands helplessly.
"I won't use horned beasts as rewards for the time being. Just like you said, it's not easy for us to catch these horned deer. In the future, we can only use other things as rewards for missions." Luo Chong also spread his hands and said.
Luo Chong's answer disappointed You Fu, but he also understood. However, he immediately thought of an idea. He just wanted a means of transportation. Why must it be a horned deer? It would be nice to get an ox cart, and it can carry so many things.
"Han leader, can you give me an ox cart like that? I can do anything for you." You Fu pointed at the ox cart and said excitedly.
Mmp, who wants you to do anything? I'm not doing anything.
Luo Chong felt a chill at first, but immediately began to think, do anything, uh, it seems that I can really find something for him to do.
"I won't give you a cart like this. It's too big and too hard to make. It's impossible for all my tribesmen to make carts for you. They have other things to do.
But I can give you a smaller one, a cart with only two wheels, also pulled by animals, but it will be very expensive. Do you dare to take it?" Luo Chong said with a slanted smile.
"What do you need me to do?" You Fu immediately became interested.
"In exchange for people, give me 50 adults and I will give you a cart, but no cows. If you want cows, you need to add ten more people. How about this price?" Luo Chong laughed sinisterly.
"60 adults? This price is really high. Even if I give you my entire tribe, I can't get a cart." You Fu also said with a miserable smile, but he didn't object to this price.
"Hehehe, you must have a way to get people, right?" Luo pointed at You Fu and asked.
"Yes, that's right. I can get you at least a hundred people, but I need a four-wheeled cart and two oxen to pull it." You Fu seemed very confident, and his expression when asking for payment was very firm, as if there would be no more talks without a cart.
Luo Chong did not refute immediately, but was very curious about where his confidence came from. A leader of a small tribe of about 50 people said that he could get more than 100 adults. Who would believe it? If he was really that powerful, why did his tribe have so few people?
"Tell me, who are those more than 100 people in your tribe? I want those who are willing to join my tribe. I don't want those who are forcibly taken away. They will run away." Luo Chong asked curiously.
"Savages."
What? There are still savages? Luo Chong was shocked at the time.
