I do research in ancient times

It was said to be a visit, but in fact, the strong man in Bai Ke was still very wary of Ning Fei and his party.

The boats surrounding the squid boat did not disperse immediately, but the squat warship made a way to guide the boat to the vast sea, and the whole process was supervised by the Baik people.

The brawny man was called Helan, the leader of the Baike tribe who patrolled the lake, and the son of the Baike patriarch.

"My brother Nanshi likes Yechao's things very much, and I learned these Yechao dialects from him..."

When he said this, Herlan's eyes turned twice on Clay's face, his eyes were a little strange.

Ning Fei thought about it.

He vaguely remembered that Clay's father was from Nanshi, and he came to the border town because he was curious about the businessman's things.

But just a single sentence doesn't prove anything.Now that they are in the territory of the Baike tribe, Helan tried to test it out. It is best if they are relatives and friends.

Just like what Brother Mu Ye said, wait and see what happens, don't act rashly.

Fortunately, Helan was not a careful person, so he shifted his attention to Feng Kai after only one glance.

Probably because the general's aura is not in harmony, Helan has always been very vigilant towards Feng Kai, and his words are slightly provocative, as if he really wanted to find a chance to fight with Mr. Feng.

"Then try?"

Just try it.

So the first thing he did when he landed was that Feng Kai had a fight with Helan.

The battle ended quickly, Helan was knocked to the ground within ten rounds, and the eldest son, to save him face, stretched out his hand and pulled him up from the ground.

"Assignment."

"No way!"

Helan brushed off the dust on his body without being annoyed at all.

"You saved me face, I know this in my heart. But the Baike people don't lie, I can't match your strength, and I can't fight without you. Helan is defeated."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands towards the eldest son Feng.

"You are a warrior!"

He didn't know each other without fighting, and Helan was a lot more amiable in the subsequent itinerary.

He brought Feng Kai and his party into the settlement of Baikebu. This is a small town named after the vast sea.

Along the way, Ning Fei carefully observed the situation in the city.

In fact, the Baike tribe has a large population. They mainly make a living by fishing and grazing, and there are not many fields for farming.

Bai Kebu's food list is meat mixed with a small amount of grains, and there are a lot of cattle and sheep raised in the city, and the price of meat is not expensive.Because of Keteng Mountain as a barrier, the climate on the east bank of the Tuotuo River Valley is relatively mild, the pasture is abundant, and vegetables are relatively rare here.

This diet structure is very similar to that of the grassland people in the previous life.

Beef and mutton are greasy, hot and difficult to digest.Long-term as a staple food will produce various discomforts, and then lead to various diseases.

Ning Shaozi rubbed his chin, looking at a large piece of half-roasted mutton in front of him.

Tea has the effect of dissolving fat and lowering cholesterol. Cumin and pepper can make meat more flavorful. I wonder if Donghu Sanbu is needed?

Thinking of the tea-horse trading route recorded in the history books of his previous life, he wished he could take out the tea he roasted for a while, and exchange some cattle and sheep back to Jiuling City, wouldn't the trade start? !

It's a pity that he ran for his life in a hurry, and he didn't expect to be washed to the hinterland of the grassland by the water, wasting the opportunity to sell in vain.

When Ning saw the abacus, the meal was ready.

Baike people are warm and hospitable, as long as they are not enemies, most of them will not hesitate to entertain them.

Helan and Feng Kai didn't know each other, and Clay and Nada belonged to the same tribe. There was only one unremarkable Ning Fei, who was not a threatening person by visual inspection, so he was classified as a friend.

If you are a friend, of course you should treat them well. Fish, sheep and beef are not available, and the supply is limited.Ning Fei was indeed hungry. From yesterday to now, they have been busy running for their lives, and they almost didn't run out of water.But even so, he couldn't eat a piece of mutton that was about the size of his face.The mutton is only sprinkled with a small amount of salt, which completely maintains the original flavor, and the face is full of fishy smell.

Whether it tastes good or not is not a problem, the key point is that he can't say anything.

Feng Kai at the side used Guanhong to cut the mutton into small pieces, put them on a rectangular plate, and told him while peeling.

"You have a bad appetite, try to eat cooked ones, a small amount is easy to digest."

Helan on the side looked jealous.

It wasn't because he was jealous that someone would cut the meat, but because the moment Guanhong was unsheathed, Helan's eyes were stuck and couldn't be pulled out.

"What a handsome knife!"

Patriarch Bai Ke slapped his thigh.

"Brother, where did you get this knife?! It looks like a treasure that cuts iron like mud!"

"I was cast by the one I like."

The corners of Mr. Feng's lips hooked slightly, and he shook Helan's face with a face of dog food.

Helan was even more envious.

What kind of fairy girl is this!He can also make treasured swords, why can't he meet them? !

"You guys are amazing. You can build everything, even a boat can fly in the sky."

Don't look at Helan aggressively leading a group of people to surround the squid boat when it landed. In fact, everyone was very curious in their hearts, and they wanted to get a close-up view of the strange objects that fell from the sky when they put their heads into the water.

When the people landed, the Baike boat was surrounded by Baike people. Some people prayed and others knelt down. In the end, Helan slapped his hands, and the people scattered.

But curiosity can't be suppressed, let alone those clansmen who have to pass by from time to time, taking the opportunity to peek, even Helan himself is very itchy, wishing to find out the details of the spaceship right away.

Seeing another person going to burn incense, Helan felt ashamed and explained with a little embarrassment.

"Although our Baike people can't compare with Nanshi's sailing boats, we are all good sailors. When we see a fresh boat, we want to see what it is."

"You suddenly landed from the sky into the vast sea. The noise made everyone frightened, so we gathered around to see this flying ship."

Having said that, he paused and asked tentatively.

"How did your ship fly?"

This made Nada frown.

He is a heavenly craftsman, and craftsmen have the rules of craftsmen. If you don't join the teacher's school, you don't get permission, and you can't easily inquire about the secrets of other families. It's too impolite for Helan to ask like this.

Before Clay could translate for Ning Juzi, an old barbarian walked in at the door.

He didn't know how long he had been listening, and he pointed at Helan's nose and cursed as soon as he entered the door.

"You don't care how it flew! Can we tell others the secret method of Bai Kebu's shipbuilding?"

"You inquire about other people's secrets, do you want people to poke us Baike people in the back, saying that we are bullying vultures?!"

These words were scolded without any shame, but Helan didn't dare to say a word.

He knew that it was unreasonable, so he could only give a mocking smile and explain awkwardly.

"I don't mean that, Dad, I'm just curious."

"The boat that flies in the sky, what a novelty! Many people in the clan have already kowtowed and prayed!"

After speaking, he introduced it to several people.

"This is my Abba Hemuta, who is also the patriarch of the Baik tribe."

"Father, they are the people who came down in a flying boat. They say they are businessmen from Yechao. One of these two boys is said to be from the Nanshi tribe, and the other is from the Tuhe tribe. They are both friends."

Patriarch Hemuta nodded, and after greeting everyone, he first talked about the reason for his anger.

It turned out that many people in Hanhai City witnessed the fish boat dragging the cloth ball into the water, and now the legend of "Son of the God" has started to spread in the city.

The son of the god, who descended from the sky in a skyship, fell into the vast sea of ​​the mother of the Baike tribe, bringing the instructions of the god.

The group of people around the squid boat were not watching the fun at all, they all wanted to meet the "son of the gods", get a glimpse of the immortal spirit, and get a good fortune in safety and health.

When the news reached the ears of the Patriarch of the Baike tribe, the old patriarch couldn't sit still immediately.

The businessman, the son of God descending to earth, the instructions of the gods... No matter how it sounds, this is exactly the same as the Huolei Holy Witch on Xihu's side!

That business man, the holy witch, made troubles in the West Hu tribe, became the power of King Zuoguli, and launched a war to invade the Central Plains. Could it be possible that he came to harm the East Hu tribe again? !

How about that!

The old patriarch arrived in a hurry, fearing that his stupid son would be caught by a magic stick because he was careless.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard his son asking about the Shenchuan, and the old patriarch hurriedly stopped him.Obviously he was scolding his son, but in fact he wanted to avoid the topic and observe the other party's details by the way.

Looking at it now, it seems that it is not what I imagined.When the business boy heard the word "God", his face darkened visibly.

Ning Sawzi is really tired of routines like "prayer" and "holy witch" now.

He is a scientific researcher, he doesn't want to pretend to be a magic stick, and he doesn't want to get involved in other people's primitive worship, so he simply explained the principle to Hemuda and his son.

"It's not some fairy magic, it just uses the air... the wind. Just like your boats use water to float, my boat uses wind to float, the principle is similar."

"Oh."

Herlan nodded.

In fact, he didn't understand, but he was even more shameless to continue asking, so he could only pretend to understand.

But his father was dubious, and finally asked a question.

"Are you really businessmen from Yechao?"

"In the past, those traveling merchants would come to sell salt, so do you have any salt?"

Salt?

Ning Fei raised an eyebrow.

"Aren't the three tribes of Donghu brothers? Nanshi has boats to go to sea, and there is naturally salt by the sea. Why don't you ask them to buy?"

Hearing what he said, Hemuda suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Where there is sea, there may not necessarily be salt!"

He paused, exchanged glances with his son, and then spoke slowly.

"Brother Nanshi has a boat to go to sea. But to go to sea, you have to walk for half a day in the Hunjiang River. Although the sea water is salty, it needs to be fried to get out. We don't have much vegetation here, and we have to raise cattle and sheep with grass. How much firewood is available?"

"Every year, the Nanshi brothers set up a pot, and we can exchange some. But recently, there are fewer and fewer trees on the mountain, and we can't find enough firewood. Without firewood, we can't burn salt. We can only barter with merchants. .”

Having said that, Hemuda paused, and there was an undisguised worry on his old face.

"Recently the south is not peaceful, there are wars everywhere, and the trade route was cut off early in the morning."

"It's been a long time since merchants have come here. If this continues, we will run out of salt!"
