Transform into a fairy girl

Almost all the Tonggu people are soldiers. When the men go out to fight, the women leave the village with their children and take refuge in the mountains and forests.

Of course, Ji Ran, Senfeng and others also hid in the forest.

It turns out that they did this mainly to prevent other villages or tribes with grievances from taking the opportunity to seek revenge.

When there are no men to guard the village, women and children are basically unable to protect themselves. In order to ensure the safety of women and children to the greatest extent, they can only hide in the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, the mountain forest to the north of the village is very dense, so it is not easy to be discovered by hiding in it.

While Ji Ran was hiding, she saw a little boy holding a bow like mine. That bow was almost as tall as the little boy. The little boy was holding the bow in both hands, looking a little funny.

"Little brother, how old are you? Can you also shoot arrows?" Ji Ran looked at the little boy and asked. Rocky randomly translated it into a language that the little boy could understand.

The little boy nodded seriously.

"Haha, if it's true, will you shoot a kitten or a rabbit?" Ji Ran asked curiously.

"I can shoot birds flying in the sky." The little boy pointed at the birds flying in the sky and replied.

Ji Ran looked up at the sky. Although the birds in the sky were small, they flew very fast. Moreover, because the target was small, it was not easy to shoot the birds. Let alone children, adults may not be able to hit the target with perfect accuracy. .

After the little boy finished speaking, he came to the open space, raised the bow with his left hand, and pulled an arrow from his waist with his right hand. Then he fixed the arrow tail on the bow string with the index finger and middle finger of his right hand. He bent the thumb of his right hand and buckled it tightly. He held the bow string, and then pulled it back hard. He actually pulled the bow into a full moon.

The little boy narrowed his eyes slightly, and after aiming at a flying bird, he let go decisively. He only heard a "bang~" sound from the bowstring, and the arrow flew away quickly. It hit the bird without any bias. body of.

The arrow immediately dropped the bird from the sky.

The little boy ran over and picked up the arrow, with a poor bird stuck on it.

"Wow, that's really awesome. Little brother, what's your name?" Ji Ran really admired this little boy. When she was as young as him, she couldn't even draw the bow string.

"My name is Agu, and I am the son of Helibo." said the little boy.

Hearing the little boy's self-introduction, Ji Ran suddenly realized that he was the son of Helibo, the leader of the Tonggu tribe. The tiger father had no dog son. No wonder he was so powerful at such a young age.

As noon approached, three whistles were heard in the sky, and all the women and children of the Tonggu tribe hiding in the mountains and forests came out of the mountain col.

It turns out that this is the way the Tonggu people communicate. They have a special arrow with a whistle tied to the lower part of the arrow. When the arrow is shot out, the wind rushes into the whistle and a sharp whistle is emitted.

The Tonggu people judge whether it is safe or dangerous based on the whistle.

A whistle means there is something wrong.

Two whistles sound, which means the situation is urgent and requires immediate assembly.

Three whistles sound to indicate that the danger is over and that it is safe.

The three whistles sounded just now, which meant that the danger was over. Therefore, the Tonggu people left the mountains and forests and returned to the village.

Ji Ran also followed

He followed them back to the village.

When everyone returned, there were a few more horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts in the village. Ji Ran saw these horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts and immediately recognized them. This was the warm-hearted man they met in the hotel in the small town of Romantis. Caravan of bearded businessman.

It turned out that the bearded businessman was discovered by the patrol of the Tonggu people when he was passing by this forest land. Therefore, he gathered people and took the businessman's convoy back to the village.

The bearded businessman knew that these Tonggu people were very tough and did not dare to offend them, so he had no choice but to drive a convoy to the village.

After the convoy stopped, the Tonggu people immediately began to look for what they needed in the car. As long as they could use it, they would take it away without ceremony. As for paying, there was no such concept.

Strictly speaking, the Tonggu people have no concept of currency at all. They are still in the primitive state of bartering.

Seeing his goods being snatched away by these barbarians, the bearded businessman dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and could only admit that he was unlucky.

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon on the mainland. There are such arrogant bandits on almost every mountain. Whenever you pass through the territory of these bandits, if you are lucky, you will be allowed to pass after paying the toll. If you are not lucky, If it's good, I'm afraid everything will be lost, and you may even lose your life.

Of course, some people say, are these businessmen stupid?

Don't you know how to take the high road instead of the official road?

In fact, these businessmen are not stupid. If they follow the official path, there will be no robbers. However, those lords and nobles are more ruthless than the robbers. All kinds of trade taxes, road maintenance fees, personal income tax and other miscellaneous taxes add up. It can literally peel off three layers of skin, and you won’t make much money at all.

If unfortunately you meet a certain lord who gets married and has a child, you will have to offer a valuable gift at that time. You must know that offending the lord is more terrible than offending a barbarian.

Therefore, it is precisely because of these considerations that businessmen would rather take risks and pass through the barbarian territory than take the official route.

Helibo was a very particular person. He knew that the tribesmen had taken away a lot of goods, so he ordered the tribesmen to kill two sheep and entertain the bearded businessman hospitably.

The whole sheep feast is the highest standard for the Tonggu people to entertain guests.

After drinking and eating, Helibo asked the tribesmen to bring some dried meat, fur and some very brightly colored birds, and loaded them into the bearded businessman's car as a way of thanking the bearded businessman. .

The bearded businessman made a rough calculation and found that although the Tungus people had nothing to lose, the things they gave seemed to far exceed the value of the things they took away. Especially these birds with brightly colored fur can only be found in such barren mountains. If you find it and take it to a big city to sell it to a noble, you will definitely get a good price.

The bearded businessman was very happy and thanked Helibo.

And Helibo was also very enthusiastic and personally sent the bearded businessman out of his territory.

Before leaving, Helibo grabbed the bearded businessman's hand and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Sir, if you pass by here next time, can you bring some iron tools? I will prepare double gifts as a reward." Helibo discussed with the bearded businessman.

"Yes, no problem. Chief, I am very touched that you are so kind to me and even kill a sheep to entertain me. Next time you pass by here, I will definitely bring some iron tools. Don't worry." The bearded businessman agreed. road.
