"Little guy, talk to me for a while."

With a slight smile on Que's face, she looked gentle. Seeing Tang Zheng looking at her, she was not in a hurry, and waited for her reply with her hands behind her back.

Tang Zheng was startled by the sudden appearance of the person in front of her, and instinctively took a step back. The height much taller than herself cast a shadow, forcing her to raise her head.

He, who was behind him, was vigilant and wanted to step forward to separate the woman. Tang Zheng pulled her back, raised her head and asked, "Who is my sister, why did you talk to me?"

"Hahaha." Que was amused by her appearance, and said with a smile: "Sister, if I have children, I will be older than you. I'm not those women just now, so don't pretend anymore."

The innocent smile froze on her face, and since she was knocked out, Tang Zheng had no choice but to withdraw a little, looked directly at the woman opposite and said, "I'm just a child, I don't know what you want to talk to me about?"

Que narrowed his eyes a little, and said meaningfully: "But you are the team leader this time, aren't you? Don't worry, I just want to talk to you about the basket."

With a cold face, Tang Zheng simply stopped covering up, "Who are you?"

"bird."

In just one word, the confidence and arrogance in it stand out.

Heh, the day before yesterday was a wolf, today is a sparrow, should I say that I am lucky or bad luck.

Tang Zheng smiled wryly and couldn't avoid it, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Come on." Que was not surprised by this answer, turned and walked in one direction.

Tang Zheng put the hand she was holding into He's, raised her head and said, "You take Jing back first, don't mention this, just say I'll go back later."

Before he had time to explain anything, he rubbed his fingertips on Jing's face twice to calm her emotions, then turned and followed Que who was about to disappear into the crowd.

"Little guy, you are very courageous." Que, who was walking forward, felt the little figure chasing up beside him, said with a smile, but didn't give her another look.

"A little bit." Tang Zheng accepted the compliment, cut off the topic with a short answer, and couldn't hear the joy of being praised.

Que chuckled lightly, and walked towards a house at a faster pace, which was closer to the center of the tribe than last time, and even in other people's tribes, it still had a prominent position.

Follow the short body into the room, the short steps are about two meters long, and you won't be able to stretch your back when you reach the bottom. The floor is simply covered with leather, and there are various ornaments made of animal bones hanging around, which have already shown "Luxury".

Sitting casually on the leather, Que raised his chin towards the place in front of him, "Sit down."

Tang Zheng sat down cautiously, and wiped off the thin sweat from the palms of her clenched hands by her side. Although she was not afraid, she was still somewhat nervous.

Now take a closer look, the woman on the opposite side is not too young, she looks about 30, maybe 25-[-], she is a little plump than the people she has seen, there are no bones protruding because of thinness, her body It is relatively clean, and the earlobe is wearing a ring-shaped small animal bone. If I really want to describe it, it probably still has a charm.

That's right, Tang Zheng didn't know the aesthetics of primitive people, but the woman opposite was indeed pretty, not to mention the aura in her gestures, which couldn't be concealed even with a kind face.

"My name is Que, you can call me that directly." Que took out the inseparable object from his bosom, and casually played with it while speaking.

"Hazel." Tang Zheng replied.

By the way, I took a look at the thing in her hand, half of the round bone was polished to a smooth surface, it was already slightly yellow, the missing half had irregular jagged teeth, it lost its edges and corners and looked round, with a few simple nicks and hollows , it should be some years old.

Turning over the bone piece in his hand and holding it in the palm of his hand, Que looked directly at Tang Zheng and asked, "The price of the basket is now, and last year's fruit season."

"Three baskets for one piece of leather, five last year." Asking the price was no surprise, but why did he ask about last year's one? Tang Zheng's brows showed a trace of doubt.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking." Que still had a smile on his face, but his hand holding the bone fragments exerted a little strength. Five times the price is fine, "How many baskets do you have for me?"

"I don't know after a long time, I have to go back to find out..." Tang Zheng rubbed his hands together in front of him, the thin sweat between his thumbs rubbed against each other, and he took a long, deep breath of cool air Concentrated, before Que frowned slightly unhappy and said: "Que is a big tribe, I know that even if I sell all the baskets I brought, it won't be enough for you, besides, you should find out that this thing is broken after half a year. Not too late, I can hand over the skill of making baskets to you, but there are three conditions."

"Oh?" The hand that played with the bone piece became active again, Que waited for her to continue talking.

It's not like Tang Zheng didn't think about it when she came out. Although her baskets are sold cheaply, they are a market after all, which will inevitably arouse the eyes of others.She wasn't afraid of getting into trouble around her. After all, the Stone Tribe would not allow anyone to make trouble in his territory if they wanted to organize a long-lasting trade. On the contrary, the Stone Tribe would not dare to attack them openly.But it's hard to say when she goes out. Even if the sparrow doesn't come to her, she will observe and look for someone who can provide protection in the past two days.

Originally, she only wanted to find someone who was a little more reliable to offer some relatively reliable benefits, but now she changed her mind, and she pursed her lips tightly to organize her words, and Tang Zheng said seriously: "First, I want ten ingots of salt, three Ten pieces of leather are equivalent to food. Second, I hope you can send someone to protect us for three days when we leave. Third, come to my family during the fruit season this year. If you can agree to these, I can send someone to come Teach you how to weave baskets."

Que didn't answer immediately after listening, the bone pieces were flipped flexibly in his hands, the surrounding was so quiet that he could even hear the shouting not far away, Tang Zheng's clasped hands were stretched pale, as if he was waiting for the verdict.

After a long time, a three-point smile appeared on Que's face again, and said with a light smile, "You really don't look like a child."

Tang Zheng was taken aback, as if he had heard this before, and hurriedly laughed and laughed: "It's just smarter than ordinary children."

Que didn't refute, changed to a more relaxed posture, bent down, propped his head with one hand and said, "I have no problem with the first two, and the price is considered cheap, but what does the third mean?"

The popularity of the big tribe is always there, Tang Zheng is not afraid of her backlash, and now she has promised to relax her tense back, and said playfully: "You will know when you come, if you are happy, you can Bring some seeds that you think are rare, and I will give you a satisfactory reward."

"Hehehe, you child looks a bit like her." Que was amused by her, smiled and shook her head.

"Her?" Tang Zheng asked suspiciously, it's fine that their small tribe has entanglements with the wolf clan, but why does it have anything to do with the sparrow clan?

"Well, it doesn't seem that similar." Que didn't return her, but looked her up and down again, and then asked, "Is Sang okay?"

Tang Zheng was a little confused at the moment, and asked, "Who is Sang?"

Que was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said, "It's probably your old grandmother."

"That's it." Tang Zheng rubbed her chin, as if she had never heard from the old grandmother that she knew people from the Que tribe. "The old grandmother was not in good health a few years ago, but she has improved a lot recently."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Que frowned unobtrusively, then quickly let go, and asked as if talking about family matters: "How is your family doing?"

"Okay, and it will get better and better." Tang Zheng replied without thinking, she still has this confidence.

"In that case, she still wins." Que said something Tang Zheng couldn't understand, rubbed the bone in his hand, and handed it over after a moment of hesitation, "Help me bring this to your old grandmother."

Confused, Tang Zheng took the bone piece, which still had the temperature of a sparrow. Tang Zheng endured it, and finally asked, "What is this? Do you know my old grandmother?"

"I know, as for this you give her, she will know." Que chuckled and said, the smile on his face was much weaker than before, looking a little tired, "It's getting late, you go back first, get things ready Well, I'll send someone to find you."

The bone fragment was clenched in her hand, and she couldn't ask any more questions after the master issued an order to evict the guests. At worst, she just went back and asked the old grandmother. She got up and prepared to leave, "Then I'll go first."

"and many more."

As soon as she stood up, Que stopped her again, and Tang Zheng asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else?"

Que glanced at her hand, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, don't forget the lunch in two days' time, and we will leave after that."

"Okay, I'll remember."

After Tang Zheng left, Liao walked in again after a while, and Que half-lyed on his back, glanced at him and closed his eyes again, "Did you hear that?"

Liao grinned and said, "It's kind of interesting. I haven't found any suitable ones yet. Let them go first and observe for a while."

"Yeah." Que rubbed the space between his brows, "Basically, they were all hurt by the snow season that just passed. I guess this year will be busy. I'll go and have a look when the fruit season comes."

"Hahaha, then I'll take your troubles." Liao was also happy to take it easy, it would be worth less to worry about such a nerve-wracking thing.

Xu Shi got a headache from his loud voice, Que said bluntly: "Go out if you have nothing to do."

"All right, all right, I just happen to have something else to do." Seeing that she was a little angry, she quickly raised her hands in surrender and backed out.

The room was quiet, and after a long time, there was a faint sigh.

--------------

Here Tang Zheng hurriedly ran back to the clan, and saw Jing who had been watching here from a distance, and when she saw her, she let go of He's hand and ran over, Tang Zheng caught her body familiarly and hugged her into her arms .

Facing Shang Jing's caring eyes during his inquiry, Tang Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm back."

"Yeah." Jing let go of her and got off her body, "The baskets are all sold out."

"That's right!" Tang Zheng was a little surprised that he didn't expect it to be so popular. Turning his head, he saw that the people around his tribe were already empty, leaving only a few for his own stuffing, and there were still a few people in front of him who were probably asking. , Tao smiled so much that the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears when she shook her hand at them.

"Someone came over and asked if they wanted someone." Jing said again.

"where?"

"There."

Tang Zheng looked in the direction she pointed, and there was an old woman sitting there, accompanied by a few people, all with their heads down, incompatible with the excitement around them.

"Come on, let's go and see."

The author has something to say: make up yesterday's, I'm sorry I've been working overtime recently.

The saddest thing is that the notebook was borrowed by my mother, and the code word thumb on the mobile phone was scrapped. I thought about going to an Internet cafe in the afternoon. I haven’t been there for seven or eight years, but I didn’t expect to go again. . .
