The Primitive World of Planar Trading
Chapter 119 Deterrence and Preparation
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but with the first finished product, the following things will be much smoother.
It took nearly a month before and after, and Bai and the slaves built a total of four giant canoes.
Each canoe is more than 30 meters long, nearly 2 meters high, and the widest part of the cabin reaches 5 meters. Only for people, a full boat can hold forty or fifty people. It is not a problem to be able to seat more than ten or 20 people.In this day and age, such a canoe is definitely a behemoth.
When a new ship is built, it naturally has to be launched into the water for sea trials.
Sixty slaves worked together and it took three full days to transport the first canoe out of the forest.
Bai chose to test the water at the upper reaches of the river, following the flow down to the Great Lakes.
It was hard for the slaves to believe that such a colossal monster was made by them. Relying on their good water quality, they were all eager to try the huge wooden boat floating quietly on the water.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Wu Nuo's Dahu dialect was very fluent except for the slightly strange accent. He randomly named more than a dozen slaves, let them board the boat, stood by the river bank in vain, and untied the hemp rope. , kicked the canoe hard.
"Move! Move!"
"The boat has gone! The boat has gone!"
"Why is the wooden boat spinning around in place?"
Whether it is the slaves on the shore or the slaves on the boat, they are a little confused. Taking a boat and swimming are two different concepts, especially for the slaves who are taking a boat for the first time. Turning around, many people looked at the water splash around the wooden boat, their heads began to feel dizzy, and their eyes straightened reads; little nun.
"People on the wooden boat listen, pick up your paddles, remember what I told you? Use the paddles to paddle, pay attention to control the direction, and let the wooden boat move!" Standing on the shore, Wu Nuo said loudly.
His voice clearly reached the ears of every slave on the ship. The panicked slaves, as if they had found their backbone, picked up the oars they had prepared earlier in the morning and rowed vigorously in the water.
It doesn't matter if you don't row, this row, the canoe swayed from side to side even more violently.
Wu Nuo has been in a small fishing boat and a small bamboo raft, but that was all when he was a child. Later, the river was polluted, and there was a strong smell. There were no fish in the river, and the fishermen chopped up the fishing boats for firewood. Hey, where is there a boat for him to row Wu Nuo can help them make the oars according to the same pattern, but how to row them has to be figured out by the slaves themselves.
Fortunately, the giant wooden boat was strong enough, and the current was not too fast. The wooden boat circled in the water, but it was always stable and did not capsize.
The slaves struggled on the boat for a long time, and gradually figured out some ways. Slowly, the wooden boat stopped spinning, and the slaves on the boat began to shout. The cooperation became more and more tacit, and the wooden boat finally floated in the river. Driven by it, it slowly flows down the river.
"It's done, it's really done!"
"Ow ooh..."
As the speed of the canoe increased on the water, the slaves on board and on the shore cheered loudly.
At this moment, they not only witnessed the miracle with their own eyes, but also forged the miracle with their own hands.
With the consent of Wu Nuo and Bai Mo, the slaves on the shore screamed and ran wildly after the canoe. Some of them were so excited that they plunged into the water and followed the canoe desperately to swim.
After catching up, he used both hands and feet, and with the help of others, he climbed onto the canoe, and then excitedly jumped and jumped on the canoe, and then more people jumped into the water excitedly.
"It's finally a success, and finally there is no need to worry." Wu Nuo let out a long breath with a smile.Not afraid of anything else, he was afraid that the canoe he made would sink when it was launched into the water, which would be a shame.
"I've never been worried," Bai finally looked at the canoe that was fading away, and turned his head to look at Wu Nuo, his eyes met, his ice blue eyes were as soft as water, " Because I believe in you."
"So confident in me?"
"Must." ︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿
"Forget you have some vision," Wu Nuo said with a smile on his face, "Let's go, let's follow and give the people of the Dahu Tribe a big surprise!"
"……Wait a moment."
"Why are you taking off your clothes?"
"Ho Ho Ho Ho—" Accompanied by the roar of excitement, the prehistoric beast-like winged tiger stretched out its long tail, and rolled Wu Nuo onto its back. When Wu Nuo sat down, the huge wings flapped high and spread out, a run-up Then flew up.
As usual, the people of the Great Lakes tribe are making final preparations for the coming cold winter. The weather has gradually cooled down. Everyone catches as many fat fish in the lake as possible, and marinates them with coarse salt to make salted fish , Keep it as food in the cold winter.
The people who were fishing in the water suddenly saw a huge monster on the lake, they couldn't see clearly from a distance, they thought there was some kind of monster in the lake, so they hurried to swim to the lake in fright, and they didn't see clearly until the 'monster' approached , There were people on the monster, those people paddled in the water with sticks, and then the monster ran.
"Boss, boss, it's not good, there are monsters in the lake, go out and have a look!" The orc warrior who was in charge of patrolling the tribe found a huge monster in the lake, before he had time to see what the monster was. Immediately ran to Stone City to report.
"Monster, what monster?" Although piranhas appeared in the big lake from time to time, everyone was used to it and could handle it. Why did monsters suddenly appear again?
"A big monster, it looks a bit like a dragon, a dragon beast, and it's coming towards the tribe. Leader, please send someone to have a look; winter goes to spring!" This is a weak beast-level orc warrior, He is not very courageous. When he was hunting outside, he encountered a small group of very ferocious dragon beasts. In their hunting team of hundreds of people, only one or twenty people managed to escape. Since then, he only needs to see dragon beasts. The beast's first reaction was to run.
At this time, the indistinguishable exclamation of the residents had already spread to Stone City. Hu Lang immediately ordered the Stone City to be under martial law, and then rushed to the lakeside with his personal guards.
Well, what is that?
Hu Lang was a little stunned. He had never seen such a huge log that could be manipulated to swim in the water.
In the blink of an eye, Hu Lang remembered the waterway that Bai had mentioned.
Beast God, how did the people of the Changhe Tribe do it?
"Leader, be careful, be careful, something is flying over from the sky!" The cowardly weak beast warrior stood in front of Hu Lang without hesitation, and took the shape of a beast—a large dog that looked a bit like a dog on Earth. The bulldog looks very vicious, but it is as timid as Jingba. Seeing the giant beast in the sky getting closer and closer, the fierce eyes filled with tears, and its short and fat limbs trembled violently.
No, you're not going to die here, are you?Wang woof woof... He also found a partner.
Even as the bravest warrior and leader of the tribe, Hu Lang's mood at the moment is absolutely no better than that of the trembling dog and beast. The moment the giant beast landed, he instinctively transformed into a beast-a gray giant wolf , the orcs present around them all turned into beast forms almost at the same time, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The huge silver and black-striped winged tiger slowly landed on the ground. Hu Lang roared in the dust, and the orcs quickly dispersed and surrounded him heavily.
"Hu Lang, is this how you greet guests?" Maverick grinned and showed his sharp teeth.
"Are you... Bai?"
With a low growl, Bai rolled Wu Nuo off his back with his tail. After Wu Nuo stood still, he smiled and said in the language of the Dahu tribe: "Master Hulang, you won't forget us so quickly, will you?"
"Wu Nuo?" Hu Lang realized that he had overreacted, and whispered to his tribe, "Let's all disperse, all disperse, they are Bai and Wu Nuo from the Changhe Tribe."
A dazzling silver light flickered, and he turned into a human form. Under the cover of the wings, he quickly put on his pants, then folded his wings, put on a white shirt, tidied up his slightly messy silver hair, and stood side by side with a slight frown. Beside Wu Nuo.
Although Hu Lang's orcs backed away a little, Yi Hubai gave them too much shock, they were all terrified, fully alert and ready to go.
"Hu Lang, what does it mean that your people are looking at us like that?" Bai slightly narrowed his eyes and questioned in a bad tone.
Hu Lang secretly groaned in his heart. To be honest, although he guessed that Bai's beast shape must be some kind of very ferocious beast at the beginning, Bai's ferocity still far exceeded his expectations.
A ferocious tiger with two wings, isn't that the legendary winged tiger?But isn't the winged tiger clan a famous super tribe in the south?The Changhe tribe is in the north, and the distance between the south and the north is very far. Will the two be connected?
Hu Lang couldn't figure it out. He had only heard of the Yihu tribe, and had no real contact with it. He only knew that the other party was an extremely powerful super tribe, and had a close relationship with the super tribe Yandu, which controlled the coarse salt trade.
Does the Changhe Tribe have anything to do with them?
Hu Lang intuited that the things here were not simple, but his understanding of Bai and these tribes was too little, and he couldn't figure out why.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Hu Lang yelled at the tribe: "Bai and Wu Nuo are distinguished guests of our tribe. Whatever you look like, let me change back to human form; I love it so much!"
After finishing speaking, Hu Lang was the first to change back to human form with the light shining. Bai Damiao quickly pulled Wu Nuo into his arms and tightly covered his eyes.
Wu Nuo's eyes darkened, and he subconsciously scolded, "What are you doing?"
"You are not allowed to look at them," Bai lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "You can only look at my body. My body is much better looking than theirs, and you said last night..."
"Speaking of your sister! Shut up for me! Get your hands away!"
"...huh." Bai Damiao snorted, and waited for the people around him to wrap up their animal skin skirts before he slowly moved his paws away. Facing the angry glare of the little angel, he not only didn't get angry, but also showed a smile on his face. A smug smile.
Wu Xiaonuo: Look back and see how I deal with you!
Bai Damiao: Clean up casually, don’t look at other people anyway︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿Hu Lang noticed the interaction between the two, but they talked in a low voice, and there were many noisy people around him, so he didn’t hear them clearly What, he just felt that Bai and Wu Nuo seemed a little different, unlike the relationship between ordinary guardian beastmen and great witch bloodlines, but he couldn't tell the specifics, hiding this weird feeling in his heart, Hu Lang slightly Apologetically, he said to the two: "I haven't seen Bai your animal form before, we thought it was an enemy attack, it was our fault, I hope you don't get angry."
"Where did Mr. Hu Lang say, we are friends, how could he be angry because of such a trivial matter? It's just a misunderstanding, and it will be fine if we talk about it." Wu Nuo said with a smile.
Only then did Hu Lang realize that Wu Nuo was talking to him in the Dahu language, and asked in surprise, "How can you speak the language of our Dahu tribe?"
"I learned from them recently." Wu Nuo looked towards the lake without changing his smile.
Hu Lang followed his line of sight, and at some point, the giant wooden monster floating on the water had been tied to the lake, and the man who manipulated the monster also climbed up the lake bank and was walking towards them.
Well, aren't those the slaves sold to them a few days ago?
The slaves ran over quickly, and within a few or two sentences, they had already arrived in front of Bai and Wu Nuo. According to what Bai taught them before, ten people quickly lined up in six rows, put their right fists on their chests and bowed their heads respectfully. , and said in unison: "Good day, my lord!"
Full of energy, the momentum is like a rainbow.
If I'm not mistaken, these people are war slaves of their tribe, right?How long did it take to trade with them, why does it look so different?
What is the difference, most of the onlookers can't tell, only a few people, such as Hu Lang, they can clearly feel that these slaves are different from before in their bones, and their loyalty to Bai and Wu Nuo is a sign What comes from the heart and soul is not being persecuted, but willing surrender.
What kind of magic do Bai and Wu Nuo have?How could these rebellious war slaves be so obedient in such a short period of time?
Hu Lang couldn't figure it out, but compared to these traded slaves, he wanted to know what the monster floating on the water was.
Pointing to the canoe not far away, he asked, "What is that? Could it be the waterway you mentioned?"
Wu Nuo made an inviting gesture and asked Hu Lang to walk closer to the lakeshore with them, "In our tribe, we call it a canoe."
Neither the Changhe Tribe nor the Dahu Tribe's language has the word 'canoe'. Hu Lang repeated this strange-sounding word several times and asked, "Is it made of wood?"
"good."
Hu Lang had seen a log floating on the water before, but he had never seen such a giant log floating on the water. He asked curiously, "It's because you hollowed out the middle of it that it floated on the water, right?"
"Yes reads; they're not wolves."
"But such a huge giant tree, how long did it take, how did you hollow it out?"
"It's not difficult. In fact, we made a total of four such canoes, and three of them are still on the mountain. I want to ask Lord Hulang to send some people to help us get them down the mountain." Wu Nuo avoided the key point.
Hu Lang laughed loudly and said: "Wu Nuo, you already said that we are friends. Helping a friend is obligatory. Just let me know how many people you need, and I will arrange it right away."
His white eyes dimmed, Hu Lang is not simple, he is smart and thick-skinned, he is very easy to let go, and he is more difficult to deal with than the leaders of the Muyuan tribe and the Xigu tribe.
No wonder the Great Lakes Tribe is so big!
However, he believed that one day, the Changhe Tribe would surpass the Great Lake Tribe!
Hulang was very efficient in handling affairs, and soon gathered hundreds of orcs and pure human warriors, and followed the slaves into the mountain.
Bai and Wu Nuo stayed in the Dahu tribe, and at the invitation of Hulang, they entered Stone City again.Compared with the last time, Stone City is obviously cleaner this time, and there are seldom large and small lumps of Xiang on the road, and the air is also much fresher.
The last time they entered the city, Bai and Wu Nuo's expressions of disgust were too obvious last time, and Samba stood beside him, feeling particularly ashamed.Afterwards, he reported the process to Hu Lang, and Hu Lang specially arranged for a few slaves to clean it, and the results were remarkable.
Living in a clean environment is naturally much more comfortable than living in a dirty environment. After the initial results, Hu Lang simply asked these slaves to clean the roads in the city every day, restricting the residents in the city to defecate anywhere, slowly , it becomes what it is now.
The roads have become clean, but the cubs are still too dirty. Compared with the Changhe Tribe, they are still far behind.
Because of the misunderstanding just now, although the alarm has been lifted, the atmosphere in the city is still somewhat dignified.
Hu Lang's three sons were detained at home by his partner Sang Qiu. The little boys were used to being naughty.
Seeing that Hu Lang came home safe and sound, the boys rushed up and circled around their father, asking what the monster looked like.
"Be good, don't make trouble, didn't you see any guests?" Hu Lang scolded in a low voice, but his tone was not too harsh.
Only now did the kids see Wu Nuo and Bai standing next to them. Because Wu Nuo had run "Tuna Method (Elementary)" and he himself liked these little hair balls, the kids were born to like Kindness and malice are more sensitive, so I naturally want to get close to him.But Bai on the side deterred them. Although Bai had no expression on his face, they felt that Bai didn't like them, and Bai was quite powerful. Facing him, the kids all had an indescribable fear and dared not make any moves. This time, stay obediently by Abba's side without making any noise.
It was rare to see his sons so obedient, Hu Lang didn't think much, and led Wu Nuo and Bai to the courtyard where they had dinner together before, and sent someone to invite the big witch over.
He invited Wu Nuo and Bai to come over, of course it wasn't just for a simple chat as guests, after some politeness, he cut to the point.
"...Can the canoe really travel all the way from here to the Changhe Tribe?" Hu Lang asked in animal language.
"You have seen the process of the canoe sailing on the water, but the Changhe tribe is still too far away from here. Whether these canoes can complete such a long-distance voyage, you have to try it to know." Wu Nuo directly used the Great Lakes tribe His language is mixed with Chinese words and he replied that neither Hu Lang nor Wu Yue could understand Chinese words, but they could understand [-]% to [-]% of what Wu Nuo meant.
"If it succeeds, next year I will send blood salt over, and the price will be the same as we said before; from the future you." Bai said in animal language.
"Okay," Hu Lang nodded happily, and changed the topic, "Samba is very curious about your tribe. I wonder if he can go to the Changhe tribe with you?"
"Wu Nuo and I will continue to travel. If Samba wants to go to our tribe, he can only go with those slaves. I can't guarantee that they will be able to go to the Changhe tribe in the end." Bai said.
"How about this, this time let the slaves explore the way first, open up the water route, make sure there is no safety problem, and then let Samba go to our tribe." Wu Nuo said a compromise.Security is indeed a big issue, but another issue is that it's best not to add another powerful pretender to the tribe until the river tribe becomes more powerful.
Maintaining a moderate sense of mystery is more conducive to dealing with the Great Lakes Tribe.
Hu Lang is really curious about everything about the Changhe Tribe, otherwise he would not have wanted to send his most trusted people there, but what Bai and Wu Nuo said made sense. Security really cannot be guaranteed.The cold winter is coming soon. If they can't reach the Changhe Tribe before the cold winter comes, they may have to freeze to death outside.
Rather than letting Samba take unnecessary risks at this time, as Wu Nuo said, it’s not too late to go after the safety of the route is confirmed. Anyway, the Changhe Tribe will be there sooner or later and they won’t be able to escape, so there is no need to rush.
Soon, everyone turned to chatting about other topics. After eating something at Hu Lang's house, Wu Nuo and Bai said goodbye and went to Samba's shop to do some shopping.
There are many good things in his shop, but there are not many particularly rare things.
Focusing on what he needed and what was valuable, Wu Nuo chose some, and asked Samba to keep the things for him first, and trade them after they brought the blood salt hidden outside.
Driving the black wind for a few laps outside, when there was no one around, Wu Nuo directly transferred the blood salt in the space ring to the carriage, ran back and forth a few times, and pulled more than 6 catties of blood salt over. .
Part of the blood salt was replaced with the various seeds agreed earlier, and part of the blood salt was replaced with items from the samba shop. Wu Nuo bought the most cloth and twine.
The cloth sold by Samba is much cheaper than what Wu Nuo bought from the Muyuan tribe before. The Dahu tribe is rich in hemp, and the price of hemp thread is also cheap.
Wu Nuo sent out some blood salt, and asked Samba to help find some hardworking and dexterous pure men and slaves to help twist the twine into a strong thick hemp rope.Then they bought a lot of cow and sheep skins from the residents of the Great Lakes tribe, and asked these people to sew the cow and sheep skins into huge canvases with twine.
After the people sent by Hulang transported the remaining canoes down from the mountain, and after the sixty slaves became familiar with rowing, controlling the direction, and handling some emergencies, etc., the things Wu Nuo asked people to prepare It's all ready too.
In the place reserved for the canoe, the mast was placed, the huge sail was hung, and a simple small tent was built with branches and animal skins at the stern for the crew to store food. Like a scary monster.
Wu Nuo exchanged enough salted fish, bacon, wild melons and wild fruits for these slaves for a month; prepared some basic witch medicines for them to stop bleeding, heal wounds and treat colds; the captain and deputy captain of each canoe They all have a highly poisonous witch medicine to deal with the dangers they may encounter; all the iron tools they used to log and build ships are also reserved for them to defend themselves; the people on the Great Lakes tribe have learned to weave twine into fishing nets to catch fish , the slaves know how to do it, Wu Nuo prepared five large fishing nets for each of their boats...
Whatever he could think of, Wu Nuo tried his best to think for them.
After all, it is sixty fresh lives. To the natives of this world, they are nothing more than untouchable slaves, and they are nothing more than 600 barrels of salt. But to Wu Nuo, the value of life cannot be so easily expressed in material to measure.
Be it public or private, he hopes that these 60 young people can cross countless rivers and reach the Changhe Tribe safely.
For this reason, before leaving, Wu Nuo specially held a blessing ceremony for them.
It took nearly a month before and after, and Bai and the slaves built a total of four giant canoes.
Each canoe is more than 30 meters long, nearly 2 meters high, and the widest part of the cabin reaches 5 meters. Only for people, a full boat can hold forty or fifty people. It is not a problem to be able to seat more than ten or 20 people.In this day and age, such a canoe is definitely a behemoth.

Taking a boat and swimming are two different concepts, especially for the slaves who are taking a boat for the first time.

"……Wait a moment."
"Why are you taking off your clothes?"
"Ho Ho Ho Ho—" Accompanied by the roar of excitement, the prehistoric beast-like winged tiger stretched out its long tail, and rolled Wu Nuo onto its back. When Wu Nuo sat down, the huge wings flapped high and spread out, a run-up Then flew up.

"Where did Mr. Hu Lang say, we are friends, how could he be angry because of such a trivial matter? It's just a misunderstanding, and it will be fine if we talk about it." Wu Nuo said with a smile.
Only then did Hu Lang realize that Wu Nuo was talking to him in the Dahu language, and asked in surprise, "How can you speak the language of our Dahu tribe?"
"I learned from them recently." Wu Nuo looked towards the lake without changing his smile.
Hu Lang followed his line of sight, and at some point, the giant wooden monster floating on the water had been tied to the lake, and the man who manipulated the monster also climbed up the lake bank and was walking towards them.
Well, aren't those the slaves sold to them a few days ago?
The slaves ran over quickly, and within a few or two sentences, they had already arrived in front of Bai and Wu Nuo. According to what Bai taught them before, ten people quickly lined up in six rows, put their right fists on their chests and bowed their heads respectfully. , and said in unison: "Good day, my lord!"
Full of energy, the momentum is like a rainbow.
If I'm not mistaken, these people are war slaves of their tribe, right?How long did it take to trade with them, why does it look so different?
What is the difference, most of the onlookers can't tell, only a few people, such as Hu Lang, they can clearly feel that these slaves are different from before in their bones, and their loyalty to Bai and Wu Nuo is a sign What comes from the heart and soul is not being persecuted, but willing surrender.
What kind of magic do Bai and Wu Nuo have?How could these rebellious war slaves be so obedient in such a short period of time?
Hu Lang couldn't figure it out, but compared to these traded slaves, he wanted to know what the monster floating on the water was.
Pointing to the canoe not far away, he asked, "What is that? Could it be the waterway you mentioned?"
Wu Nuo made an inviting gesture and asked Hu Lang to walk closer to the lakeshore with them, "In our tribe, we call it a canoe."
Neither the Changhe Tribe nor the Dahu Tribe's language has the word 'canoe'. Hu Lang repeated this strange-sounding word several times and asked, "Is it made of wood?"
"good."
Hu Lang had seen a log floating on the water before, but he had never seen such a giant log floating on the water. He asked curiously, "It's because you hollowed out the middle of it that it floated on the water, right?"
"Yes reads; they're not wolves."
"But such a huge giant tree, how long did it take, how did you hollow it out?"
"It's not difficult. In fact, we made a total of four such canoes, and three of them are still on the mountain. I want to ask Lord Hulang to send some people to help us get them down the mountain." Wu Nuo avoided the key point.
Hu Lang laughed loudly and said: "Wu Nuo, you already said that we are friends. Helping a friend is obligatory. Just let me know how many people you need, and I will arrange it right away."
His white eyes dimmed, Hu Lang is not simple, he is smart and thick-skinned, he is very easy to let go, and he is more difficult to deal with than the leaders of the Muyuan tribe and the Xigu tribe.
No wonder the Great Lakes Tribe is so big!
However, he believed that one day, the Changhe Tribe would surpass the Great Lake Tribe!
Hulang was very efficient in handling affairs, and soon gathered hundreds of orcs and pure human warriors, and followed the slaves into the mountain.
Bai and Wu Nuo stayed in the Dahu tribe, and at the invitation of Hulang, they entered Stone City again.Compared with the last time, Stone City is obviously cleaner this time, and there are seldom large and small lumps of Xiang on the road, and the air is also much fresher.
The last time they entered the city, Bai and Wu Nuo's expressions of disgust were too obvious last time, and Samba stood beside him, feeling particularly ashamed.Afterwards, he reported the process to Hu Lang, and Hu Lang specially arranged for a few slaves to clean it, and the results were remarkable.
Living in a clean environment is naturally much more comfortable than living in a dirty environment. After the initial results, Hu Lang simply asked these slaves to clean the roads in the city every day, restricting the residents in the city to defecate anywhere, slowly , it becomes what it is now.
The roads have become clean, but the cubs are still too dirty. Compared with the Changhe Tribe, they are still far behind.
Because of the misunderstanding just now, although the alarm has been lifted, the atmosphere in the city is still somewhat dignified.
Hu Lang's three sons were detained at home by his partner Sang Qiu. The little boys were used to being naughty.
Seeing that Hu Lang came home safe and sound, the boys rushed up and circled around their father, asking what the monster looked like.
"Be good, don't make trouble, didn't you see any guests?" Hu Lang scolded in a low voice, but his tone was not too harsh.
Only now did the kids see Wu Nuo and Bai standing next to them. Because Wu Nuo had run "Tuna Method (Elementary)" and he himself liked these little hair balls, the kids were born to like Kindness and malice are more sensitive, so I naturally want to get close to him.But Bai on the side deterred them. Although Bai had no expression on his face, they felt that Bai didn't like them, and Bai was quite powerful. Facing him, the kids all had an indescribable fear and dared not make any moves. This time, stay obediently by Abba's side without making any noise.
It was rare to see his sons so obedient, Hu Lang didn't think much, and led Wu Nuo and Bai to the courtyard where they had dinner together before, and sent someone to invite the big witch over.
He invited Wu Nuo and Bai to come over, of course it wasn't just for a simple chat as guests, after some politeness, he cut to the point.
"...Can the canoe really travel all the way from here to the Changhe Tribe?" Hu Lang asked in animal language.
"You have seen the process of the canoe sailing on the water, but the Changhe tribe is still too far away from here. Whether these canoes can complete such a long-distance voyage, you have to try it to know." Wu Nuo directly used the Great Lakes tribe His language is mixed with Chinese words and he replied that neither Hu Lang nor Wu Yue could understand Chinese words, but they could understand [-]% to [-]% of what Wu Nuo meant.
"If it succeeds, next year I will send blood salt over, and the price will be the same as we said before; from the future you." Bai said in animal language.
"Okay," Hu Lang nodded happily, and changed the topic, "Samba is very curious about your tribe. I wonder if he can go to the Changhe tribe with you?"
"Wu Nuo and I will continue to travel. If Samba wants to go to our tribe, he can only go with those slaves. I can't guarantee that they will be able to go to the Changhe tribe in the end." Bai said.
"How about this, this time let the slaves explore the way first, open up the water route, make sure there is no safety problem, and then let Samba go to our tribe." Wu Nuo said a compromise.Security is indeed a big issue, but another issue is that it's best not to add another powerful pretender to the tribe until the river tribe becomes more powerful.
Maintaining a moderate sense of mystery is more conducive to dealing with the Great Lakes Tribe.
Hu Lang is really curious about everything about the Changhe Tribe, otherwise he would not have wanted to send his most trusted people there, but what Bai and Wu Nuo said made sense. Security really cannot be guaranteed.The cold winter is coming soon. If they can't reach the Changhe Tribe before the cold winter comes, they may have to freeze to death outside.
Rather than letting Samba take unnecessary risks at this time, as Wu Nuo said, it’s not too late to go after the safety of the route is confirmed. Anyway, the Changhe Tribe will be there sooner or later and they won’t be able to escape, so there is no need to rush.
Soon, everyone turned to chatting about other topics. After eating something at Hu Lang's house, Wu Nuo and Bai said goodbye and went to Samba's shop to do some shopping.
There are many good things in his shop, but there are not many particularly rare things.
Focusing on what he needed and what was valuable, Wu Nuo chose some, and asked Samba to keep the things for him first, and trade them after they brought the blood salt hidden outside.
Driving the black wind for a few laps outside, when there was no one around, Wu Nuo directly transferred the blood salt in the space ring to the carriage, ran back and forth a few times, and pulled more than 6 catties of blood salt over. .
Part of the blood salt was replaced with the various seeds agreed earlier, and part of the blood salt was replaced with items from the samba shop. Wu Nuo bought the most cloth and twine.
The cloth sold by Samba is much cheaper than what Wu Nuo bought from the Muyuan tribe before. The Dahu tribe is rich in hemp, and the price of hemp thread is also cheap.
Wu Nuo sent out some blood salt, and asked Samba to help find some hardworking and dexterous pure men and slaves to help twist the twine into a strong thick hemp rope.Then they bought a lot of cow and sheep skins from the residents of the Great Lakes tribe, and asked these people to sew the cow and sheep skins into huge canvases with twine.
After the people sent by Hulang transported the remaining canoes down from the mountain, and after the sixty slaves became familiar with rowing, controlling the direction, and handling some emergencies, etc., the things Wu Nuo asked people to prepare It's all ready too.
In the place reserved for the canoe, the mast was placed, the huge sail was hung, and a simple small tent was built with branches and animal skins at the stern for the crew to store food. Like a scary monster.
Wu Nuo exchanged enough salted fish, bacon, wild melons and wild fruits for these slaves for a month; prepared some basic witch medicines for them to stop bleeding, heal wounds and treat colds; the captain and deputy captain of each canoe They all have a highly poisonous witch medicine to deal with the dangers they may encounter; all the iron tools they used to log and build ships are also reserved for them to defend themselves; the people on the Great Lakes tribe have learned to weave twine into fishing nets to catch fish , the slaves know how to do it, Wu Nuo prepared five large fishing nets for each of their boats...
Whatever he could think of, Wu Nuo tried his best to think for them.
After all, it is sixty fresh lives. To the natives of this world, they are nothing more than untouchable slaves, and they are nothing more than 600 barrels of salt. But to Wu Nuo, the value of life cannot be so easily expressed in material to measure.
Be it public or private, he hopes that these 60 young people can cross countless rivers and reach the Changhe Tribe safely.
For this reason, before leaving, Wu Nuo specially held a blessing ceremony for them.
