The main task of everyone's trip was to escort the baby to the tribe to be tested by the heavenly master. Escorting the prisoner was secondary. However, if the prisoner ran away, the news might leak. For safety reasons, the group hurriedly set off on the road before dawn.
Knowing that Fan Tong was the next White Tiger Celestial Master's mount, the male wizard asked the witch who was holding it. The witch didn't answer directly, so he asked other villagers, and someone told him that Wu Dongfang was not them. The villagers have only recently appeared near their village.
When the male wizard heard this, he immediately objected strongly. The Bear King was very important to the Jin clan. How could he be taken care of by an outsider of unknown origin? What if this person killed the Bear King? What would the White Tiger Celestial Master ride when he grew up
"He discovered the Bear King and brought it to him. He will not harm the Bear King," the wizard said.
"That's not okay. He is not from our Jin tribe, so he cannot take care of the Bear King. The prisoner escaped inexplicably last night. Who knows if he tricked the Bear King into biting the rope." The male wizard shook his head repeatedly.
"Then who will take care of it?" The wizard walked quickly.
"I'll do it." The male wizard stopped and stood by the roadside waiting for Wu Dongfang to approach.
The witch continued on her way without stopping with him.
The male wizard waited for Wu Dongfang to approach, walked to the middle of the road and stopped him, "Did you discover the Bear King?"
Wu Dongfang looked up at him, strode forward, knocked him away and continued walking forward.
The male wizard did not expect that Wu Dongfang would dare to make such a provocative move. He was stunned for a few seconds before coming back to his senses. He quickly followed Wu Dongfang, grabbed his shoulders and pulled him, "I'm talking to you. , did you hear that?”
"I heard it." Wu Dongfang said.
"Then why didn't you answer?" The male wizard didn't have a beard, so he couldn't blow his beard and could only stare.
"I don't want to answer." Wu Dongfang turned around and continued walking forward.
"Do you know who you are talking to?" The male wizard caught up to Wu Dongfang again.
"With whom?" Wu Dongfang asked.
The male wizard was stunned again. Wizards were very respected no matter which tribe they belonged to, and ordinary tribesmen would not dare to contradict them.
Wu Dongfang turned around and walked away again. As he walked, he secretly made up his mind. If this guy dared to catch up and take off his clothes, he would be knocked down by him. Although he didn't know magic, he was not afraid of this male wizard.
The male wizard was humiliated and contradicted, so he naturally refused to let it go. He stepped forward and grabbed Wu Dongfang again. Wu Dongfang drew out his dagger and turned around quickly. Just as he was about to stab the male wizard's neck, the male wizard screamed and jumped. go out.
The people walking in front stopped when they heard the cry. The wizard ran over from the front and found that the male wizard's right hand was dripping with blood. He frowned and looked at Wu Dongfang. The implication was, why are you being serious with him
Wu Dongfang pointed his dagger at Fan Tong in his arms. Just now Fan Tong had given the male wizard a claw before him.
The witch turned to look at the male wizard and found that the wound on the back of his hand was indeed not caused by a dagger. She turned around and left, "The Bear King only follows him, you shouldn't rob him."
The words of the witch wizard directly settled the matter. The male wizard wanted to rob the Bear King, but was scratched by the Bear King.
Wu Dongfang put away the dagger and continued on his way with his rice pail in his arms. The male wizard never caught up with him. It was obvious that he was treating his wounds.
The male wizard's villagers ran back, and the wizard wizard led his villagers to continue walking forward without waiting for them.
"Did you ask the Bear King to attack him?" the wizard asked in a low voice.
"How can I command him to move it?" Wu Dongfang shook his head repeatedly. The reason why Fan Tong took action just now was very simple. When the male wizard pulled him, he woke up the sleeping Fan Tong. Fan Tong had to sleep for a long time every day. If it wakes you up, it will be very irritable. To put it bluntly, it will cause severe irritation when you wake up.
"You really didn't let it do it?" the wizard asked.
"Don't set a trap for me. I didn't release that female prisoner." Wu Dongfang curled his lips and said, if he admitted that he could command Fan Tong, he would be responsible for Fan Tong's behavior last night.
"You are the first man to see her appearance. She will definitely come to you in the future." The witch said.
"Why are you looking for me?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Marry you or kill you." The wizard tilted his head and looked at Wu Dongfang.
Wu Dongfang shrugged and did not answer. He had already guessed the consequences of looking at the sorcerer's appearance.
"Witches usually don't marry ordinary people of mixed blood, but since you are so good to her, she probably won't kill you. There is a way to determine what she will do in the future." said the witch.
"What can be done?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"If she likes you, she will tell you her name. Did she tell you her name before she left?" the wizard asked casually.
"No." Wu Dongfang shook his head in denial.
As soon as Wu Dongfang finished speaking, the wizard's eyes suddenly turned cold.
When Wu Dongfang saw this, he immediately knew that something was wrong, and he was still bypassed by this guy without knowing it.
"I don't know when she left, how could I possibly know her name?" Wu Dongfang tried to remedy the situation.
But his remedy was useless. Although what he said before could be understood in this way, Chinese language has been more than literal since ancient times. The flavor of his words had given him away.
"What's her name?" asked the wizard.
Wu Dongfang did not answer immediately. The sorcerer's question was to give him a chance to tell the truth. He was considering whether to take this opportunity.
"What's your name?" Wu Dongfang asked rhetorically.
After a brief hesitation, the wizard said, "My name is Ming Yue."
The wizard did not lower his voice, and the accompanying villagers all heard it and turned to look at Wu Dongfang with obvious envy.
Wu Dongfang wanted to give the other party a difficult debut, but he didn't expect that the wizard gave a positive response. There was no difference between the words "My name is Ming Yue" and "I like you". Now it was his turn to panic again.
"I let him go." Wu Dongfang said in a low voice.
Ming Yue didn't seem to care about this and asked casually, "Did she tell you her name?"
"What difference does it make if you tell or not?" Wu Dongfang carefully probed.
"If she doesn't tell you her name, we will always have to be on guard against her coming to kill you." Ming Yue said.
Wu Dongfang was surrounded by the opponent once, and now that he has learned from the past, he dare not say anything nonsense, for fear of being tricked again.
Ming Yue had already guessed from his expression that the other party left his name before leaving, but she did not continue to ask about the matter, but casually changed the subject, "Can the Bear King understand you?"
"I can understand a sentence." Wu Dongfang smiled, and he was relieved that the other party did not continue to ask questions.
"This matter is very important." Ming Yue said seriously.
"It was less than half a month before I picked it up." Wu Dongfang shook his head.
"What happened last night, and what happened to him?" Ming Yue pointed to the back.
"Yesterday I put honey on the rope. Today he disturbed Fan Tong's sleep." Wu Dongfang said.
"What does Fan Tong mean? Why did you give it this name?" When the word Fan Tong came out of Ming Yue's mouth, it was no different from a foreigner speaking Chinese.
"Mighty, ferocious, invincible." Wu Dongfang smiled.
Ming Yue was very satisfied with Wu Dongfang's explanation. This name was worthy of their noble Bear King.
After walking for another half day, a road appeared in the mountains, and more and more people began to meet. They began to meet traders and footmen carrying laden loads. Most of these people were in groups of three or five, walking together. The things they carried on their laden loads were various, including cloth and salt. There were also animal skins and herbs, as well as ornaments made of feathers and various stones and bones.
After walking on the main road, they were not far from the tribe. They walked quickly. At sunset, the group arrived at the flat area where the tribe was located. There was a quite large city in the middle of the flat area. It was said that it was bigger than the village. In fact, it was It is not very big, much smaller than a modern town garrison. The city has a very high wall made of stone, which is six or seven meters high by visual inspection. There is land all around, two to three hundred acres, and the land is planted with millet, which is millet.
The sun was going down, and there were no people in the fields or on the road. Everyone walked along the road towards the city.
Because there are many wild animals in the mountains, the city gate here is closed at night. When everyone arrived, the gatekeeper was closing the door. These men were very strong and should be soldiers, but they did not have uniforms to wear. He wears linen clothes and pants, and has a small sword tattooed on his chest.
Although Ming Yue didn't like the male wizard, she still told the soldiers that they were behind and asked them to close the door later.
The soldiers all respected the wizard. After hearing Ming Yue's words, they stopped closing the door and waited for the people behind to arrive. Ming Yue led Wu Dongfang and others into the city first.
After entering the city, Wu Dongfang was greatly disappointed. He thought the city would be a prosperous scene with many shops and bustling pedestrians. Unexpectedly, although the city walls were tall and tall, the inside was very shabby, with green or yellow stains everywhere. The ore, the houses are all very low wooden houses, which are better than the slums, a bit like an urban village that will be demolished soon.
"Where should we stay at night?" Wu Dongfang looked around this dilapidated city.
"Stay overnight." Ming Yue took off a cloth bag from her waist, took out a handful of shells and gave two to each of the men traveling with her. The man took the shells and walked eastward with a smile.
"How are you going to find them when you leave?" Wu Dongfang grabbed the remaining shell in Ming Yue's hand and looked at it carefully. He had heard Ming Wan say that the current currency is shells, but this was the first time he saw such a thing. The size is about the same as a dumpling, and the shape is like an unshaped dumpling. There is a small hole in the middle. This small hole was made later, probably to make it easier to carry on a skewer.
Mingyue took out a bamboo whistle from her arms, glanced at Wu Dongfang and put it back in her arms.
"What can I exchange for this kind of shell?" Wu Dongfang and the woman holding the child followed Mingyue and walked north.
"A shell can be exchanged for a jar of salt." Ming Yue said casually.
Wu Dongfang nodded. The transaction at this time was divided into two ways: buying and selling and exchanging. Since most people did not have this kind of shells, there was less buying and selling and more exchanging.
While walking, he also discovered an interesting phenomenon. There are a small number of shops in the city, and the shops also have signboards, but they have no words. The signboards are all painted shapes. Fish is painted as fish, cloth is painted as cloth, and salt is painted as A salt jar with two ears, and a pile of grains are drawn on the rice. Although it is crude, it is clearly visible at a glance.
Not far away, a masked witch came from the north. Although they both wore masks, they recognized each other at a glance. The witch might be friends with Ming Yue, and they were very close to Ming Yue. Yue spoke.
The two spoke very fast, and Wu Dongfang couldn't hear everything. This witch seemed to have escorted the surviving children to be tested by their own Celestial Master.
After a short conversation, the wizard walked south.
"How many children survived in total?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"There are only three." Ming Yue sighed, "The Heavenly Master will come from the capital tomorrow to test them..."
