Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

Chapter 90: Pedestrian Merchants

Wanzu Village is a Class C naturalized village of Daxia. Chen Yao was surprised that the caravan would settle in Baigen Village instead of Wanzu Village.

However, Chen Yao later found out why these traveling merchants did not settle in Wanzu Village.

Because these traveling merchants came back from deeper inside the Ten Thousand Mountains.

So let alone the third-class villages, they don’t even know about the existence of the Wanzu Village!
Even their first choice was not Baigen Village, but Liu Village.

But when they found that everything was gone in Liuzhai, they went to Baigenzhai.

This was also known after a villager who was arranged to stay in Baigen Village returned and reported the news.

After learning the news, Liu Wudi prepared to go and take a look.

Traveling merchants usually don't rest for long, most of the time they just rest for one night before leaving.

In the past, most of the traveling merchants stopped at Liu Village, so Liu Wudi didn’t have to go to other villages, but this time it was no longer possible.

But when Liu Wudi was ready to set off, he found that Wanzu Village didn't seem to have anything worthwhile that could be exchanged with those traveling merchants.

The only local product is poisonous honey, and Xiong Er can’t even eat enough of it, so why is he exchanging it for other things?

However, Baigen Village still has supplies from Wanzu Village’s five warehouses stored there, so there’s no need to worry too much.

So, Liu Wudi took a few warriors from Wanzu Village to Baigen Village.

The reason for bringing a few warriors was not to protect Liu Wudi, but because he was worried that if he exchanged for some large items, it would be difficult for one person to carry them back.

Chen Yao also took this opportunity to observe the so-called traveling merchants through Liu Wudi.

It also happened to alleviate the impact of the wild boar running on him.

……

Liu Wudi and his group were not moving very fast, and it was already afternoon when they arrived at Baigen Village.

Before entering Baigen Village, they saw dozens of giant beasts parked in the open area outside Baigen Village.

The giant beast is called Camel. It is the mount for traveling merchants to travel through the Ten Thousand Mountains and is also the main force for transporting goods.

Each adult camel is eight meters long, five meters tall, over three meters wide, and has eight legs.

Despite its huge size, it is not clumsy at all.

Dozens of camels were lying on the square of Baigenzhai, which was a spectacular sight.

When Chen Yao saw those camel beasts, he was a little confused.

It stands to reason that these traveling merchants who returned from the deeper parts of the Shiwan Mountains would not have come away without any gains.

But now, Chen Yao only saw the camel and not the goods.

Could it be possible to return empty-handed?
With doubts, Chen Yao's vision gradually became clearer as Liu Wudi approached.

When Chen Yao saw the people from Baigen Village exchanging items with the traveling merchant, he realized that he had misunderstood.

Although the camel is called a camel, it is not the kind of camel that Chen Yao means, with courage hanging on both sides of an old ox.

If that were the case, it would be very inconvenient for camels to walk in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Chen Yao had no idea that the real cargo was actually inside the camel's body!
This body does not mean that it is swallowed by the camel, but is on the camel's back.

The camel can control the contraction of the fur on the top of its back to open or close the space on its back that is sunken into its body.

Seeing this, Chen Yao suddenly thought of a species in an anime from his previous life.

Totoro Bus!

It's the guy with a cat's head and a body like a bus.

The difference is that chinchillas are a little cute, while cheetahs are a little fierce.

And there are no windows on the camel's back.

Liu Wudi walked all the way inside without contacting the camel beasts, but went straight to Bai Gensheng's residence.

After arriving, Liu Wudi saw Bai Gensheng drinking something with a thin man wearing unknown animal skins in the yard.

"Chief Liu is here, please come in!"

Bai Gensheng stood up to greet him, but the man in animal skin just sat there, smiling and nodding at Liu Wudi. Liu Wudi didn't think the other party was rude.

If Liu Wudi guessed correctly, this person should be the manager of this caravan.

Generally, such people are either in the middle or late stage of Transcendental Transmigration.

Judging from the number of this caravan, the probability of this happening in the later stage may be higher.

Therefore, it was already very polite for the other party to nod to Liu Wudi.

"I am Liu Wudi from the Wanzu Village!"

Liu Wudi stretched out his left hand, clasped his index finger and thumb together, forming a one-handed fist salute.

After looking at Liu Wudi's empty right arm, the man clasped his fists and said, "I am She Shiquan, the leader of the Great Xia She Family's traveling caravan."

After She Shiquan finished his introduction, he suddenly asked, "I wonder if you and Liu Village Chief Liu Wudi are..."

"I am Liu Wudi, but the Liu Village has been destroyed. I now live in the Wanzu Village."

Seeing Liu Wudi say this, She Shiquan nodded.

According to the information he had, the leader of Liu Village was called Liu Wudi.

But he didn't ask why Liuzhai was destroyed.

As a traveling merchant, the most common thing I see is the destruction of a village.

In Daxia's database, every time a caravan of pilgrims returns, a batch of destroyed villages will be updated, and a new batch of villages will appear in the new information in the hands of the pilgrims.

It's just a thousand-foot-large village, not worth his attention.

At this time, Liu Wudi had already set his eyes on the silk book on the stone table.

"Is this the caravan exchange catalogue?"

Liu Wudi looked at She Shiquan.

She Shiquan nodded, indicating Liu Wudi to do as he pleases.

Liu Wudi picked up the silk book and began to observe it.

The first half of the silk book is basically crossed out, while the second half is mostly normal.

The ones that are crossed out are out of stock, and the ones that are not crossed out mean they are in the caravan.

As for why the front part was crossed out, it was because the front half consisted of the goods brought by the traveling merchants, and the second half consisted of the goods exchanged in the Shiwan Mountains.

That's why this happens.

But for Liu Wudi, what he looked at first was not the second half, but the things in the first half that were not crossed out.

For example, elixirs, techniques, and secrets.

In the medicine column, Liu Wudi saw that body-building and blood-quenching pills were still available, but the healing pills had long been sold out.

Some special exercises in the exercises column are also sold out, and only some popular exercises are listed.

However, if you really want the skills, you can order them in advance and take them with you the next time a caravan passes by.

As for the secrets column, most of them were not crossed out because the team leader had already memorized most of the secrets.

Liu Wudi thought about it, and finally pointed to the words "Body-Building Pills" and "A Map of Ten Thousand Miles Around the Ten Thousand Mountains" in the catalog.

"Captain She, what's the price for these two?"

She Shiquan took a look.

"There are still 128 bottles of Body Strengthening Pills, each with 10 pills. Ten plants of ten-year-old herbs can be exchanged for one bottle, one plant of fifty-year-old herbs can be exchanged for one bottle, and ten plants of a hundred-year-old herbs can be exchanged for ten bottles."

"Special ores are priced according to the estimates, and spiritual fruits and spiritual trees remain the same."

"Divine relics, a hundred feet of divine relics can be exchanged for one bottle, five hundred feet for two bottles, a thousand feet for ten bottles."

"A map of the outer 10,000-mile perimeter of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. A simplified version shows one hundred-year-old medicinal herb. A detailed version shows ten hundred-year-old medicinal herbs."
