Crossing to the Wild

Ah Jiu: "Carbon charcoal, ten carts; fifty jars of honey, twenty bags of sugar. There are all kinds of fur left, so I didn't buy them all."

There is only one day left for the Snow Melting Valley Fair, and Ah Jiu is reporting on today's purchases.

"Furs are in short supply, and the salt department directly collects furs for salt. On the first day of the market, most small tribes exchange furs for salt."

Ah Jiu said a long list, and Rong Yue thought that you can talk without Guoguo... and thought about it for a while.

Everyone was tired and fell asleep all day, and now it was only him, Tianyang, Ah Jiu, and the three sitting by the fire.

They don't have to worry about food, but unlike the tribes that have accumulated supplies over the years, they lack fur.

With a lot of jerky in hand, you can definitely get what you want, just change the way.

For example... trade directly with the Ministry of Salt.

According to the information obtained through inquiring, Mingshan, the leader of the Salt Department, is a very special leader.

Compared with other tribal leaders who mostly subdue people by force, Mingshan is better at controlling them.He knows how to show kindness and strength, knows what attitude to take with whom, and his subordinates are quite loyal. He is a person who is naturally good at handling interpersonal relationships.

Seeing that Yunye has been devoted to him for 20 years, it is not difficult to see that he does have his own uniqueness in handling things.

For such a smart person, Rong Yue is more inclined to brute force cracking.

Don't engage in any devious ways, just come to the door to find, the transaction is done clearly, and no one takes advantage of anyone.

After all, the Yanbu was not short of fur, and a smooth person like Mingshan would definitely not show hostility to a newly rising tribe in full view.

As for Yunye's matter, Rong Yue also had a preliminary idea.

In the afternoon, he found Bao Xing and asked about Yun Ye and the tribe's grievances carefully, and only then did he have a comprehensive understanding of the incident.

Strictly speaking, Mingshan is indeed quite scumbag emotionally.

Yunye and Mingshan's childhood sweethearts grew up together.

In Bao Xing's narrative, Yunye has liked Mingshan very early, even before the awakening sacrifice.

He and Mingshan have gone through a lot together, and he thinks of Mingshan wholeheartedly, helping him with all aspects, often too busy to eat a meal.

Mingshan was also very considerate. When he became the leader, he gave Yunye great power, allowing him to manage the food inventory, a kind of thing that only a confidant can do.

Yunye was moved by this kind of trust, and he worked harder to repay Mingshan.

After awakening as a priest, he has even more illusions. Will Mingshan marry him?Obviously he thought too much, Mingshan likes women and wants children, even because Yunye's aptitude is not good enough, he is not even given the nominal position.

But Yunye was used to working for him.

Whenever he was about to be completely disappointed, Mingshan would greet him timely, and Yunye was reluctant to leave, after all he still loved Mingshan deeply.

Bao Xing also said that Yunye is a frequent visitor to their house, and Mingshan often invites him to the house for dinner.The three brothers and sisters in my family, Yun Ye watched them grow up, and even sometimes Ming Shan was too busy to take care of his son, Yun Ye often helped him take care of him.

Therefore, Bao Xing especially likes Yun Ye and Lan Jiao. In her heart, their status is the same as that of Abba.

It can be seen from this that no matter what Mingshan's inner thoughts are, he still cares about Yunye on the surface.

Rong Yue smiled: As long as you care about it on the face, it's fine.

A person who "cares" and "loves" his subordinates, of course he should respect the opinions of his subordinates and support him in finding his own happiness!

Rong Yue and Tianyang Ah Jiu discussed some details, and then yawned and went to sleep.

Just lying down, Tianyang asked: "How do you know that Yunye will definitely leave?"

Rong Yue opened her eyes: "Do you think he still loves Mingshan?"

"Correct."

"Maybe he still loves Mingshan, but that doesn't prevent him from leaving. Because around Mingshan, he only has pain." Rong Yue said softly: "People have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Love makes people happy. Blindly suffering, love will wear off sooner or later."

Puzzled in Tianyang's eyes, he seemed to want to refute something, but he didn't speak in the end.

Rong Yue chuckled: "Go to sleep, think slowly."

***

The next day, almost all the important transactions were completed, there were a lot fewer stalls, and most of the rest were odds and ends.

Many people who didn't see it as lively yesterday gathered at the Xingyue Tribe, forming another "center", which made the table in the Yanbu tribe cold.

Rongyue and Tianyang went to the Yanbu in the center of the valley to talk about changing their furs.

Ming Shan, the leader of the Salt Department, was standing on the platform with folded arms, his expression was not looking good from a distance, as if something went wrong.

Rong Yue approached, and heard someone report to him tremblingly: "That... [-] pieces of dried meat and [-] bags of twisted seeds are missing... No matter how you count it, it's wrong..."

Standing beside Yunye and an unfamiliar young man, Yunye was serious, while the young man was terrified.

Ming Shan said: "Ah Hu, these are not five or fifty pieces of meat, but five thousand pieces of jerky!" He said angrily, showing his majesty: "How did you check it!"

The young man collapsed to the ground in fright.

"..." Yunye gritted his teeth, "It's my fault."

"Of course it's your fault!" Mingshan turned to him, his eyes full of dissatisfaction: "How old is Ah Hu? You can rest assured that you will entrust such an important matter to him!? And why didn't you find out the wrong number yesterday? It's all over It's been a whole day!"

Yunye was shaken by the roar.

Ming Shan sighed at this moment, and touched the top of his head: "Forget it... I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm just... a little anxious..."

Hearing this, Yunye almost couldn't hold back his tears, choked up and said, "It's all me, it's my fault."

Ming Shan wiped his eyes, and said affectionately: "Don't be like this next time, Ah Hu is still young, I need you to watch..." Then he turned his head: "Ah Hu! Stand up! How does it look like this! "

Ahu's eyes were red, and he began to cry too: "I'm sorry, Lord Mingshan...it was really correct when I checked...I don't know why it's missing..."

Yun Ye also said: "I was there when the check was made..."

"Okay, don't cry." Ming Shan said: "Ah Wei is in charge of guarding, things will not go missing for no reason. There is nothing wrong in these two days and nights."

Yunye was dumbfounded: "Could it be that you think..."

Ming Shan nodded helplessly at the tip of his nose: "What are you thinking about? It's just an ordinary small mistake, everyone will be negligent sometimes."

Rong Yue has been standing not far away, watching Yunye's face turn pale, muttering about to say something, but she didn't say anything, but her eyes were wide open, dry, without a gleam of light.

He couldn't bear it, but he didn't rush forward to interrupt the conversation.

Ming Shan left, seemingly no longer caring about Yun Ye's fault, but in fact he stabbed him heavily in the heart.

"Master, Master..." Ah Hu said, Yun Ye came back to his senses and said to him, "Leave me alone for a while."

Rong Yue approached Yunye only after Ah Hu left.

The smile on Yunye's face was uglier than crying: "You guys are here...I'm sorry, I..."

Rong Yue patted him on the shoulder: "I've been wronged. Do you want to go directly with us, or..."

Yun Ye understood Rong Yue's unfinished words, and looked forward to it: "Can I clear things up before leaving?"

"of course can."

Rong Yue originally planned to change the fur first, but seeing what happened, he chose to help Yunye first.

Yun Ye led them to the outside of Melting Snow Valley, and Rong Yue asked as he walked, "What's going on?".

"It's not complicated to say..."

Yuno roughly explained.

The big market lasted for three days, and there was a large amount of materials in circulation. Every day, the materials would be stored separately and counted separately, once in the morning and in the evening.

The day before yesterday, that is, the night of his emotional breakdown, when checking the quantity, he sent his apprentice Ahu to report.After that, because he was restless, he didn't check it again, and handed over the matter to others.

"Who is the other person?" Rong Yue asked

"Bao Shu Bao Xing, or a few smart craftsmen, there are about seven or eight people."

Rong Yue signaled him to continue.

"This morning, I was watching at the booth, and suddenly there was news from the camp, saying that the quantity of the materials I was in charge of checking the day before yesterday was different from what was reported." Yunye smiled wryly: "I have been in charge of counting for decades, why? You will make such a low-level mistake. If you make a few or dozens of mistakes, it is still possible, but it is a total of five thousand... and there are hundreds of bags of twist."

He choked up and said, "Ah Hu and I counted together, how could it be wrong."

Rong Yue: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth for you."

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Yanbu camp.

Because there are a lot of people and goods, it looks very messy here. There are guards carrying spears around the wooden pry cart covered with sackcloth, sitting or standing, with lazy eyes.

Seeing Yunye coming, they stood up one after another: "Master Yunye."

Yunye nodded coldly: "Where is Ah Wei?"

A Wei is the captain of the guard.

One of the guards said, "Ah Wei is off today and went to the valley to visit the market."

Yunye hummed dispensably, and asked again: "Who is counting people in the morning?"

Guard: "It was counted by Master Baoshu." He paused: "That, this is..."

Yunye: "He is the leader and great priest of the Xingyue Tribe."

The guard was shocked: "Xingyue Tribe!"

Rong Yue accepted their adoring eyes well, looked around and looked at the surrounding environment.

Like countless ordinary camps, simple fences and wooden thorns are arranged around the perimeter to prevent wild beasts from attacking at night.Outside the fence is a sparse woodland. In autumn, the leaves are all over the ground, so that the forest can be seen far away at a glance, until the edge of the camp of other tribes.

In any case, it is not a good environment to hide things.

Yunye greeted the guards, and they walked back.

Rong Yue asked, "Yunye, do you have any ideas?"

Yun Ye is not a fool either, he sighed after hearing the words: "If it's not my fault, then it's either the fault of today's counter, or the supplies were stolen."

"The counter is Baoshu, is he on good terms with you?" Rong Yue asked.

"Although the relationship is not good, but..." Yun Ye thought for a while: "If the number is wrong, he must count it again. Besides, if the things are here, it will be the same if someone else counts them. It is impossible for him to count them wrong. gone."

Rong Yue nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Yun Ye: "If the materials were stolen, then there must be something wrong with the guard Ah Wei."

In the wild, it is not that there is no intermarriage between the various tribes, but because of the distance from each other and the lack of information flow, there is almost no such thing as being in Cao Ying and thinking in Han, and there is no benefit.

Moreover, this unobstructed terrain and the swearing attitude of the guards also showed that "stealing jerky and hiding it" and "stealing jerky to others" are both very unlikely guesses.

So what could be the reason that Yunye simply made a batch of materials counted wrong?

Rong Yue asked suddenly: "Did you not touch the supplies at all yesterday?"

"No." Yunye was stunned: "I was in a bad mood yesterday, and I was resting in the tent all day."

"Do you have any enemies in the tribe?"

"Enemy?" Yunye was even more confused, after thinking for a long time, he said helplessly: "Everyone is a member of the tribe, how could they be enemies..."

While talking, they returned to the edge of Snowmelt Valley.

Standing on the gentle slope, Rong Yue looked down and saw countless people running back and forth on the unobstructed field.

And on the most central wooden platform, Ming Shan sat on the white animal skin paved for him, and on the left and right sides stood his confidants and beloved generals, holding spears, majestic.

Like a king.

Rong Yue knows that the world is actually very big.

Not to mention far away, the trio they met in Hoshino came from a seaside tribe.They have formed a rudimentary currency system, using pearls instead of jerky, which is not accurate enough in weight.

They have their own clothing culture, and they will go out to take risks for "wealth".They don't even have a shortage of salt, because seaside tribes can use seawater to dry their salt.

Are there larger civilizations further afield?Rong Yue doesn't know.

But ordinary people don't think so much, they only see the battle in front of them.

Everyone wants to be a leader.

And those leaders have to give the Ministry of Salt face.

How can Mingshan, the seat of the uncrowned king, not be coveted?

After all, in the eyes of many people, this is the limit.

"Yunye, even if you belong to a tribe, you may not be of one mind. Do you really not understand this?"

Rong Yue's eyes startled Yunye, he was stunned, and said slowly: "I understand."

"Only the materials I counted have problems."

"It's on, against me."
