"Go down." Valencia's expression was not pleasant. She felt sorry for the warrior. She drove around the grassland for almost five times before she completely got rid of those annoying Udi Purple Crows. She was so tired that she was almost foaming at the mouth, just to save her. A boy who makes people want to hit him whenever he speaks.
"Oh." Tang Ling held the bird's nest in his hands and immediately turned over and dismounted.
Valencia heard the warrior's breathing and quickly jumped off the horse. She stroked the warrior's neck without even looking at Tang Ling.
But Tang Ling didn't mind this kind of thing, after all, she was a kind-hearted girl.
He opened his backpack and rummaged around, took out a palm-sized melon seed, and handed it over: "Here, here you go."
"What?" Valencia turned around and saw a palm-sized melon seed lying in Tang Ling's hand.
The shell of melon seeds is black with red stripes on it, plump and round, and has a luster similar to stone.
"Holy fruit? Is this a holy fruit?" Valencia's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't believe it, so she took the melon seeds of Sento Sunflower directly from Tang Ling's hand, and put it to her nose to smell it. Sniff.
It was this breath, with a strange aroma, that was exactly the same as the holy fruit she had seen in most of Housewadidi.
"Give it back to you." There was reluctance in Valencia's eyes, but the holy fruit was so precious, and she thought that what she had done was not worthy of such a fruit.
"Keep it." Tang Ling had an indifferent smile on his face and put his hands in his pockets without picking it up: "I said I would repay you. I can't find anything good, so this is fine."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Valencia was a little curious about the boy in front of her. Legend has it that the holy fruit comes from a plant that can eat people in the Herloch Mountains. This plant can even be the most vicious greedy plant on the grassland. The Wolf King is no match for it either.
Valencia was once very curious about what kind of monster this plant would look like? Could it be bigger than the biggest tent in the village, but the boy said that the holy fruit it produced was just okay.
"I don't know either, I picked it anyway." Tang Ling smiled innocently.
Valencia opened her mouth slightly, picked it up? Can you find something like this? This guy's luck is too good, right? But other than picking it up, is there any other explanation
No, judging from his thin appearance, not to mention that compared to the hunters in the village, even an average-sized boy is stronger than him.
"Let's go." Tang Ling patted his backpack, then picked it up, holding the bird's nest in his hand, looked forward, and decided to continue setting off.
According to the map, Barbato Village was not far ahead. He wanted to find out if there was a small black market in the village. He urgently needed to exchange some supplies.
This scene made Valencia stunned: "Are you leaving now?"
"What else? I have to rush to Barbato Village. I'll be late." At this point, Tang Ling scratched his head and suddenly remembered something: "Do you know Barbato Village?"
In fact, it's not surprising that Tang Ling asked this. There are six safety villages scattered near this small plain, but his route will only pass through Barbato Village.
In order not to delay the rush to the Port of Darkness, Tang Ling did not plan to go to other villages. Since this small plain was a common pasture for several villages, this girl could definitely be from another village.
After all, according to Su Xiao's notes, he had to rush to the Dark Port before December, that is, the month before the storm voyage began.
"Otherwise, to find zero, you have to wait until after July next year." This is what Su Xiao's notes recorded.
In short, when Zero is mentioned many times, it seems that Zero is an extremely important person.
However, there was no description of anything about Zero in Su Xiao's notes. The only thing that was certain was that Zero was a man.
Thinking of this, Tang Ling went a little crazy. How on earth was he going to find Zero in such a huge crowd
Tang Ling was a little distracted.
But there was a hint of surprise on Valencia's face: "You want to go to Barbato Village? You can come with me."
After saying this, Valencia felt slightly shy.
Although the girls on the grassland are enthusiastic and bold, taking the initiative to invite a young man to accompany them seems a bit too unreserved.
"Okay, let's go together." Tang Ling felt very happy. Having a kind-hearted girl leading the way would save him a lot of trouble.
Because of this black girl, Tang Ling had an inexplicable fondness for Barbato Village.
In the Purple Moon Era, the chance of meeting a bad person was slightly greater than the chance of meeting a good person. Black Girl is kind, and presumably the people in Barbato Village are not bad either.
So, Tang Ling and Valencia hit the road together, heading towards Barbato Village.
Because of a Sento Sunflower seed, Valencia's impression of Tang Ling improved a lot, so she showed the enthusiasm of the prairie people and kept chatting with Tang Ling all the way.
From the conversation, Valencia learned that the boy's name was Downey, and he came from the other side of the Grand Canyon, from a safe village at the foot of a branch of the Hull Lodge Mountains.
In their village, every boy who reaches the age of 15 will have the test of going out on adventures, which lasts for three years.
According to Downey, although the people in this village are not strong, they have rich experience in surviving in the wild.
I see.
Valencia felt that she had learned a lot, and while talking along the way, the two slowly arrived at Barbato Village.
Barbato Village is located under a very gentle low slope just south of the Raziel Plain.
From a distance, you can see the huge wooden wall leaning against the low slope, forming an irregular circle and wrapping the village of Barbato.
"These logs are the most valuable property in our village. Each log was collected by our ancestors at the risk of going to the Hulloch Mountains." Valencia is very proud of the walls of Barbato Village.
But she was also a little disappointed at the same time. Why now, the people in the village have lost the courage of their ancestors. Not to mention going to the Herloch Mountains to collect wood, even the Mitos Canyon, they have no courage to enter.
However, look at these giant trees. Each one is 30 meters high and more than 2 meters in diameter. They are densely arranged and can still resist many dangers.
Just like the greedy wolves in the prairie, or the small group of wandering corpses.
Tang Ling showed a slight shock. This was a necessary respect for Valencia. In fact, compared to the huge stone wall in Security Zone 17, this wooden wall seemed very thin.
If nothing else, I just hope that the wall will be able to resist the impact of a small wave of beasts.
Here, you will lament that the living environment of safe villages is so difficult. No wonder according to records, many safe villages disappear every year. Many wanderers would rather wander around than stay in one place and build a safe village.
But at the same time, you will feel even more emotional about the luck of the people in Barbato Village. The fact that a village can survive to this day requires God-given luck.
After receiving the special password, Valencia led Tang Ling into Barbato Village.
As soon as he walked into the huge wooden door, Tang Ling saw many cattle and sheep, undoubtedly the most docile breeds in the Ziyue era.
Because the cattle and sheep were crowded behind the wooden walls, the place was filled with the towering smell of cow and sheep manure, as well as their unique smell. It wasn't extremely unpleasant, but it was somewhat pungent.
In addition, humans live in tents, which can be said to be defenseless in the Purple Moon Era.
These tents are like mushrooms scattered among the cattle and sheep. Occasionally, the Wensky Spotted Hound, a large dog breed that was extremely close to humans during the Purple Moon Era, will run and roar among the cattle and sheep. Then she drove some naughty calves and lambs back to their proper place.
Tang Ling found all of this very strange. It could be said that it was completely different from Safe Zone 17.
But Valencia was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Before the purple moon rises, these cattle and sheep must be rushed back to the village."
"I understand." Tang Ling smiled, stretched, and took a deep breath. He actually really liked seeing different scenery.
This action inexplicably gained Valencia's favor for Tang Ling. After all, caravans would be welcomed to the Raziel Plain every year.
Regarding the environment in the village, even if the people in the caravan tried hard to restrain themselves, they would occasionally show disgust.
Looking at this Donnie, he really likes Barbato Village.
"Let's go. My tent is over there. My mother-in-law makes very delicious milk tea. You will definitely be able to drink a few big bowls of it." Valencia is very enthusiastic, as is the case with prairie people. The more they like you, the more they like you. The more I want to share all the good things with you.
"Milk tea!" Tang Ling's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, milk tea. Hahaha" Valencia smiled heartily.
**
Ten minutes later, Tang Ling had arrived at Valencia's tent.
Compared with other tents in the village, Valencia's tent is twice as big. I guess it has a higher status in Barbato Village
Tang Ling looked at the Valencia family's tent, but he was making calculations in his mind. After all, he wanted to inquire about the black market. Families with status in the village should have some knowledge.
In addition, Tang Ling felt that this village was a little strange.
At this time, it was clearly dusk and it was time to make dinner. The cattle and sheep had already rushed back to the village, but not a single tent in the village had smoke rising.
Do they eat raw food? This is obviously impossible! Even primitive people would make a fire and barbecue.
Moreover, apart from the cattle and sheep, no one else was seen walking around in the village. The Valencia family's tent was clearly in the back of the village. Tang Ling and Valencia almost crossed the entire village, but they only met two people. .
One looked like a lonely old man, sitting outside his small, dark tent, and the other looked like a child, holding a lamb in his arms and talking to himself.
All in all, there was an inexplicable air of sadness hanging over them.
What happened in this village? Tang Ling thought this subconsciously, but he didn't care too much. After all, to Barbato Village, he was just a passerby.
"Come in, I'll let Abu kill a young sheep, and I'll let Eji make the best ashes sheep soup tonight, and grab the sheep by hand." Valencia said happily, while pulling up the curtain of the tent. .
Tang Ling's mouth watered when he heard this, but he saw Valencia frozen in front of the door.
"Abu, why is he here?" Valencia's face changed and she looked very unhappy.
Tang Ling was standing behind Valencia, and at a glance he saw four people sitting in Valencia's tent next to the fire pit, two middle-aged men and women, a young man, and an old grandmother.
Needless to say, the two people who look five-fifths like Valencia must be Valencia’s parents, and that old lady should be the Eminem that Valencia calls her.
As for the young man with muscles all over his body, should he be the source of Valencia's anger
Tang Ling felt a little embarrassed, thinking how about leaving now and spending the night among the cattle and sheep? But he couldn't bear to part with milk tea, ashes sheep soup and so on.
"Valencia, you're back late. A girl shouldn't come back so late." The middle-aged man spoke, and at the same time he saw Tang Ling behind Valencia. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise: "This guy behind you kid?"
"He is my friend." Valencia dragged Tang Ling into the room, and Tang Ling could only smile awkwardly at everyone.
But there was no doubt that Valencia's action slightly annoyed the young man, and his eyes suddenly looked unfriendly when he looked at Tang Ling.
"Eminem, this is a very important friend of mine. Can you go make milk tea?" Pulling Tang Ling to the side of the brazier and letting Tang Ling sit down, Valencia began to act coquettishly towards the old lady.
"Eji, can you make ashes lamb soup tonight? I want to entertain friends, and I can't let them think that the people in Barbato Village are not generous enough." Valencia rubbed the middle-aged woman's cheek again.
"Abu, can you kill a young sheep? A small one is fine too." Valencia took the middle-aged man's hand again.
From beginning to end, Valencia didn't even look at the young man.
But Tang Ling felt a subtle atmosphere. When talking about killing the sheep, the family was really embarrassed. This embarrassment was not stingy, but a feeling of genuine difficulty.
Just when Tang Ling was about to say something, the young man said sullenly: "Xia, don't be too defensive. Although the people on the grassland are kind, many people outside are bad-hearted. How can you Can you just win over a man and call him your friend? "
"Uncle Wenbu, it's better not to kill sheep easily. What's going on with everyone in Barbato Village now?! Where can we kill sheep?"
Having said this, the young man looked directly at Tang Ling: "Friend, Barbato Village is not suitable for entertaining guests now. I will take you out of the village while it is still dark."
After saying this, the young man stood up, as if to show off his strength to Tang Ling, he deliberately bulged up his muscles, making his body under the leather robe look unusually strong.
"Bartu, don't go too far. When will it be your turn to take charge of my guests?" Valencia was very angry.
"Why can't I make the decision? My family is willing to give your family a hundred sheep and fifty cows to tide over this crisis. And you will become my wife." The man named Baltu was also a little angry. He just looked at He wasn't used to Valencia's way of defending Tang Ling.
Tang Ling raised his head, glanced at Baltu, scratched his head and asked, "One hundred sheep and fifty cows, are they a lot? I think they can last for a month."
