Chapter 54: Endless Shock (Please Collect and Recommend)
The noise of Shu Da and his men was heard by Rou Rou inside the wall. Rou Rou ran to the back of the chevaux de frise at the door and looked out. Seeing that the group of people who stabbed him with spears last time were coming again, he stretched his nose out and roared.
Shu Da's attention shifted to the direction of the door. He saw that the long-nosed monster was hiding behind a wooden frame. The side of the wooden frame facing outward was full of hard wooden spears. Shu Da led his men over, tilted his head and looked into the wall, and saw the cave entrance at a glance.
Rou Rou saw the group of people coming, so he ran to the cave entrance to call Luo Chong. As a result, as soon as Rou Rou left, Hui Shan came to the door again to guard, looking at the people outside with curious eyes.
The people of the Black Rat Tribe standing outside the door were also curiously looking at Hui Shan. Shu Da and the Rat Witch touched the chevaux de frise at the door, thinking about the use of this thing, and imagined the scene in their heads that the enemy rushed over and was stabbed to death by the spikes on it. They couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
The woman and the boy were thinking about why the Han tribe didn't eat Huishan. How much meat would it have?
One boy wanted to touch Huishan's nose, but Huishan turned his head and faced him, then ran towards Luo Chong who had just walked out.
A dozen people followed Luo Chong out, each holding a new javelin. Luo Chong still had his golden spear, and the group walked towards the door.
After walking a few steps, Luo Chong saw Shu Da outside, with an old man beside him. He couldn't help but frowned. Why did you bring an old man here? I'm not going to change the old man. Is he here to help with the counting?
Luo Chong led his men to the door and glanced at the people outside. Shu Da quickly stated that he was here to exchange pottery this time, and pulled the women and children behind him to the front for Luo Chong to see. Luo Chong nodded, and then asked the elder to translate for him: "Let them hand over their weapons before they can come in." The
elder gestured for a while, but Shu Da hesitated. If he handed over his weapons, what if the Han tribe had ill intentions? Shu Da looked at the rat witch inquiringly.
The rat witch looked at Luo Chong for a moment and saw that he was indeed the same as Shu Da's description. After thinking about it, he agreed. He still wanted to take a look inside.
Shu Da then passed the stone spear in his hand through the gap of the barricade. This time, there were only ten adult men with Shu Da, and the others stayed at home to watch the house, so there were not many weapons, and the women and children did not bring weapons.
After handing over the weapons, Luo Chong asked his younger brother to move the barricade away, and Shu Da and his group came in. As a result, after entering, they were shocked and confused again.
The neatly stacked blue bricks in the wall were arranged in a staircase shape. There were 30 identical carts parked next to the animal pen. There were 50 copper shovels and more than 200 javelins standing next to the cave entrance. The neat rows of spear heads were shining with golden light.
When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, the gate of the animal pen was still open. Wu Da and Ximen, who were eating grass inside, saw the stranger coming and shouted loudly, which scared the rats. They all turned back to look at the animal pen. As a result, Huishan went over and roared, and Wu Da and the others immediately shut up.
Everyone in the Black Rat Tribe was surprised. It turned out that there were not only two monsters in the Han Tribe, but so many, and they all lived in the house.
Until they got into the cave, Rat Da and the others didn't come back to their senses. Instead, they were more surprised. Today, everyone in the Han Tribe was at home. There were many people. Just a glance would tell that there were more people than the Black Rat Tribe.
The tribesmen of the Han tribe were looking at Shu Da and his group. Shu Da was dumbfounded when he saw the 100 or 80 pottery pots by the fire pit. How many pottery pots would that be? They could exchange all of their tribe. The
women of the Black Rat tribe were paying attention to the styles of the women of the Han tribe. The adults all had their hair in a bun, with hairpins and beautiful wooden combs on their heads. They had ruddy complexions and looked like they had never been hungry. Moreover, everyone had animal skins to wear and beautiful boots, unlike the women who just wrapped a piece of animal skin on their feet and tied them with ropes.
Only the rat witch of the Black Rat tribe had the best vision. He stared at the hundreds of Chinese characters on the rock wall in a daze, as if he could understand them.
Seeing that the old man was interested in Chinese characters, Luo Chong did not disturb him and told the elder to trade with Shu Da first.
Hearing the elder's voice, Shu Da came back to his senses. The elder said, "How many pottery pots do you plan to exchange this time?"
Shu Da twitched his mouth and looked at the people he brought with him. Yes, he could only exchange a few, but they had so many.
This time, Shu Da brought seven women and six boys aged 11 or 12, as well as four baskets of peanuts, but only one basket, and the others were packed in animal skin bags.
They originally wanted to imitate rattan baskets, but they couldn't find the right materials. The rattan they could find now was already frozen and brittle, and would break if bent. However, they had already figured out how to make it, and they could try again next year when they had the materials.
Moreover, the women Shu Da brought this time were all young girls who had just reached adulthood, aged 12 or 13. Even if these girls were not used to exchange for pottery pots, they would have to go to other tribes in the future. In this respect, the Black Rat Tribe had taken advantage, but the girls were not pessimistic. It didn't matter which tribe they married to. The Han Tribe looked very powerful, so they didn't feel at a disadvantage.
"Let's exchange for 10 pottery pots and 4 pottery bowls." Shu Da counted the number of pottery bowls he needed to exchange by counting on his fingers.
After exchanging 13 people this time, the Black Rat Tribe still had more than 130 people. On average, 13 people shared one pot. Although it was still not enough, they could not afford so many people. The Han Tribe did not want children, but only adult women and boys who were about to grow up. If they gave all of them to the Han Tribe, they would only have very large and very small ones left, which would directly cause a power gap in the middle of the tribe.
Luo Chong nodded, and both sides began to inspect the goods. Feathers and tusks brought 10 pottery pots and 4 pottery bowls, and also gave 10 spoons. Rat Da was very happy.
There was nothing to inspect for the people of the Black Rat Tribe. Just now, there were no lame, blind, or deaf people walking in. That was enough. Luo Chong was most concerned about the peanuts, so he checked them all himself.
He brought a few rattan baskets and poured all the peanuts into them. The animal skin bag had to be returned to Rat Da. Luo Chong picked up a few peanuts for random inspection. He nodded after making sure that there were no broken shells. Then he asked the elders to put these peanuts together with the rice. They were not allowed to eat these things. Anyone who stole them would be punished.
Those who had just come from the Black Rat Tribe looked puzzled. Why didn't they eat them after they exchanged them? What did you want the peanuts for?
Luo Chong naturally wouldn't tell them. They wouldn't understand even if he told them. Not to mention them, even the elders didn't understand. But he knew that what Luo Chong asked him to do must be right.
When the Rat Witch saw that Luo Chong and his friends had finished the transaction, he hurriedly walked to Luo Chong and asked what those Chinese characters were. He had been holding back this question for a long time.
His intuition told him that those Chinese characters were very advanced, like "murals", but not like them. He had been looking at them for a long time and seemed to understand something, but he couldn't figure out what he understood.
Seeing that he was interested, Luo Chong took a small stick and pointed at the top "Han", and then pointed to the word on his golden crown and read "Han" in Mandarin.
The Rat Wizard listened to Luo Chong's pronunciation and repeated it several times before he got it right.
This surprised the Rat Wizard even more. This symbol turned out to have a pronunciation. What about the others? A strong desire to learn instantly occupied the Rat Wizard's brain.
