Wolf King

Not only to stretch out, but also to stretch out both hands - this is the most straightforward thought in Xiao Yun's heart.

Iron farm tools are what I want, and tauren are also what I want... If you can fool a tauren to follow, you will make a lot of money.

But, then again, the biggest difference between an adult and a hairless kid is knowing when to be greedy and when not to be greedy. After all, there are only one pair of parents who can tolerate you infinitely in a cruel society. None of us have any. Isn't that the manga protagonist who can be forgiven as long as he makes a tearful apology if he makes a mistake?

Xiao Yun sighed, come on, don't think about swinging a hoe at the tauren tribe, you have to pay attention to the basic law when you pull wool.

"Why are you sighing, Ayun?"

Holding a food bowl—wooden, shallow, piled high with food—the Horn leaned over, chewing on the side of his cheek.

In the tauren tribe, of course they have to eat and drink their food, but because the grassland tribes are omnivorous except for the tauren, the host will not dine with the guests...the food bowls for the guests are filled with meat of.

The sheep raised by the vegetarian Tauren are all slaughtered when the guests come to the door. They are vegetarians but do not force others to be vegetarians. The guests return the meat when they come to the door. This is a good vegetarian mouth~

The Snow Werewolves were arranged to live in a small courtyard. The small yard surrounded by wooden fences was their private property before the Snow Werewolves left. The host was kind and respectful; Conditions are limited, so the room allocated is a simple room with no bed, only a dining table and wooden pile stools... When sleeping, I make a bed on the floor by myself, and the bedding is my own responsibility.

It is still quite cold on the grasslands in early spring when there is no snow. Sleeping in a wooden house is warmer than sleeping in a tent, at least the night wind does not blow.Moreover, this wooden house is more exquisite in shape than the house built by the Snow Werewolf, for example, it has windows...

Xiao Yun, who dragged a wooden stool and sat by the window looking out, looked back at Niujiao, who was eating like a kindergarten child, and sighed again: "... If only I could trade you for a tauren, it would be great, Niujiao, they Picking someone out at random is definitely smarter than you."

Niujiao: "?!"

The patriarch at the table looked here with a dull expression.

"I just said it casually." Xiao Yun waved his hand, "Hey, patriarch, if we bring a few more exquisite pottery ornaments, can you trick a tauren into leaving with us?"

The patriarch looked at him in horror.

"I just said it casually." Xiao Yun said regretfully.

Patriarch: "..." You really don't look like you are talking casually...

Xiao Yun dragged the heavy wooden stool under his buttocks to the table, and said to the patriarch: "Patriarch, you also saw that the tauren have a lot of ironware today, tomorrow you take out that flower essence ornament, and we can discuss it with that Saladin Let's see if you can give us some ironware."

The patriarch nodded with a painful look on his face.

"...You hold back like this, at most I'll squeeze it back and burn it for you to play with." The corner of Xiao Yun's mouth twitched, "This thing is useless, it's troublesome to squeeze it, and the glaze is as big as a human head. It can’t be loaded, and it’s more practical to burn a few more bowls.”

The patriarch stretched his face and stared at him angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, you are still young and ignorant."

"Okay." Xiao Yun stared at the dead fish eyes, paused, and said quietly again, "Patriarch, do you think we should fool the gray dwarves back?"

Including Qingyan, everyone eating at the table stared at him blankly.

After finishing the dinner provided by the tauren, Ah Shan made a bed with animal skins on the floor of the wooden house. There is no kang in the wooden house of the tauren, so everyone has to sleep together to keep warm.Xiao Yun knew that the clansmen were all sleepy, so he chose to sleep next to Qingyan.

Sitting on the floor and covering his feet with the clothes he took off, Xiao Yun took Qingyan's hand and said in a low voice: "You will go back to your tribe before dawn tomorrow, and bring the things I prepared for you... I will drag everyone to stay at the tauren for five, six, or seven days before leaving, you have to hurry up and do what we have discussed, if you can succeed, you won’t have to knit sweaters by yourself every day in the future.”

Qingyan's expression was particularly complicated... It was as if he was plotting against his original tribe just to save himself from suffering.

"If you don't succeed, it doesn't matter, as long as you can get out of your body." Xiao Yun said again, "The internal environment of the cat clan is different from that of the snow werewolf and the tauren. If you really fell into the hands of those who exiled you, I guess It's not good."

Qingyan's mood became more complicated. Among the tribes on the grassland, even the centaur tribe, which has a particularly small number of people due to aggressiveness, is not like the cat tribe who will fight within the tribe to the extent that it will hurt their lives. The cat family is too irritating...

The tribes in the prairie do not have strong reproductive capacity like humans. The females of the human race can reproduce offspring before they are fully developed, but the tribes in the prairie cannot. Even the cat tribe with the largest ethnic group can give birth to more newborns every year. not going anywhere.Under such circumstances, the loss of population is naturally avoided by all ethnic groups, but...

"I will try my best. But I don't guarantee that the plan will be successful." Qing Yan whispered, "Actually, I am still hesitating until now...whether this is a good thing for my people or not."

"So didn't I say that you don't need to make decisions for others." Xiao Yun lay down and put his hands behind his head, "You just need to bring your consideration for your people, whether you choose to cooperate or simply Rejection, your clan has the final say. I have repeated it many times, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work.”

Qingyan squinted at this guy silently, you also know that your word is "in case"!

I am used to sleeping on the kang, and then I sleep on the cold floor. The biggest difference is that my feet will be cold in the middle of the night... The older patriarch woke up before dawn, shrank and retracted the foot that accidentally protruded from the animal skin. Then...it was discovered that someone had woken up.

"Qingyan, Ayun?" The patriarch blinked a few times to see the person who got up clearly, and was surprised.

"Patriarch?" Xiao Yun didn't expect the patriarch to wake up so early.

"Who are you?" The patriarch quickly sat up.

Xiao Yun hugged the animal skin bag to Qingyan and said: "It's nothing, this place is close to Qingyan's tribe, he will go back and have a look."

"...Eh? Isn't Qingyan exiled?" The patriarch couldn't react.

"That's why I sneaked back to see the clansmen, Qingyan will be homesick after being away from home for a whole winter." Xiao Yun said as if nothing happened, "He came back after a few days, anyway we have to stay in the tauren tribe Stay here for a while, just waiting for him."

Patriarch: "... Aren't we going back after changing the seeds?"

"Of course not." Xiao Yun said solemnly, "The tauren gave us seeds and brought technical guidance, and we still have to ask them for ironware. It's not good to just pat their ass and leave, and we have to give them some of our unique technology. Is it fair?"

"...uh." The patriarch felt that there was nothing wrong with this...but what could they point out to the tauren?How to hunt?

Watching Qingyan disappear into the night with an animal skin bag on his back, the patriarch was silent for a while, slowly turned his head, and cast his dignified gaze on Xiao Yun.

Getting up and bypassing the snoring clansmen, the patriarch went to the bed where Qingyan was sleeping and sat down cross-legged, staring at Xiao Yun who lay back down again with bright eyes: "Ah Yun, are you thinking of something?"

Xiao Yun... Xiao Yun just wanted to sigh in his heart. Could it be that he had fooled the patriarch so many times that the patriarch had been fooled into gaining experience?

"Don't worry about the patriarch, don't think too much, Qingyan just went back to see the clansmen. He just failed to compete for the patriarch and was exiled, and he didn't do anything bad. Naturally, there are feelings between his clansman and him."

The patriarch bent down silently and approached Xiao Yun with an unprecedented serious expression.

"I'm not talking about whether Qingyan can go back and see the clansmen... What I want to say is, Ayun, you haven't given up on taking the tauren back?" The patriarch stretched out his hands and grabbed Xiao Yun's shoulders, "Ayun, You can't do this, robbing people from other tribes will cause eternal hatred between the two sides, we can't do this to the tauren—do you understand, Ayun?"

"..." A drop of sweat slowly slid from Xiao Yun's temples. It was really subtle that he guessed the right direction, but he guessed the wrong target.

The patriarch looked horrified: "No, no, Ayun, are you really planning to do this?!"

"Calm down, I don't intend to poach the tauren's corner." Xiao Yun raised his hand and patted the nervous patriarch, "Which tribe on the grassland is willing to be hostile to the tauren? Yes, patriarch, you think I'm too stupid to even do this. is that clear?"

The patriarch thought about it too, the current Ayun is smarter than him... so he let go of his hands.

"Actually, what I want to dig is the corner of the cat tribe." Xiao Yun said seriously, anyway, Qingyan ran away, and he can't save him if he confesses to the patriarch right now.

The patriarch swayed and almost fell down.

"One is that the cat clan has a large population, so it doesn't matter if we dig at all. The second is that there is indeed a small group in the tribe of Qingyan who is not welcomed in the tribe because of the small population, and life is very hard. Since the cat clan Don't pay attention to others, why don't you leave it to us, although the rabbit mantle clan has no fighting power, but it is quite flexible, even more ingenious than Qingyan of the black panther clan... Patriarch?"

The patriarch struggled to get up, grabbed Xiao Yun's shoulders again with both hands, and felt sad from the moment he opened his mouth: "—Ah Yun!"

"Calm down, calm down." Xiao Yun patted the patriarch's arm again to comfort him, "I know that openly robbing other people's clansmen will lead to war, so didn't I work hard secretly? If we can't make it, let's go back. If it succeeds, we just need to pick up the manul clan members who were exiled by the cat clan, it will be safe and secure."

"Pick up? Exile?" The patriarch was surprised.

Xiao Yun then revealed to the patriarch a little bit of the plan discussed with Qingyan... The other clansmen are fine, the patriarch will cooperate with the plan at that time, Xiao Yun believes that with the experience of the patriarch, he can have acting skills above the passing line.

The patriarch's expression gradually changed from panic to dullness...

"This, can this really work (￣△￣b)?!"

"Whether it can be done or not, I'll do my best~ Anyway, I won't get pregnant if I try."

"..."

Uncle Ashan nodded after getting up, and found that there was one person missing, scratched his scalp, and nodded again: "Oh, strange, where is Qingyan?"

"Well... Qingyan left for a while, and will come back in a few days." The patriarch said stiffly, "We just stayed in the tauren tribe and waited for him."

"Ah, didn't we go back after taking the seeds?" Niujiao muttered, "I want to go back, but the food in the tribe is delicious, and the kang is good for sleeping." Tauren's cooking method is to stew in a big pot without removing blood The mutton with the blood foam removed has a strong smell, and the ox horn is a bit disgusting after eating it.

"Of course we can't just leave like this. The tauren have given us a lot of help. Ayun wants to give back some of our technology to them. We snow werewolves are not a shameless tribe who take advantage of others." The patriarch said with a straight face.

Xiao Yun gave the patriarch a thumbs-up behind his back, the patriarch's acting skills can reach [-]%.

Niu Jiao stopped talking, and Uncle Ashan and Ayue were not people who would think too much, the patriarch would arrange how to come, only Hongye, her sharp gaze kept turning towards Xiao Yun.

When he said that he wanted to communicate with the tauren, Xiao Yun also took it seriously. After eating the big pot stewed breakfast prepared by the tauren, Xiao Yun and the patriarch went to find the elder Saladin together.

The tauren have formed the habit of living together in families. Saladin, his wife, and their children live in a courtyard near the market area at the foot of the mountain. A spacious large wooden house and two hayloft warehouses are Saladin's home.There are still a lot of furniture in the wooden house, such as tables, chairs, benches, cabinets and other household items. There is no shortage of wooden basins, wooden barrels, and iron farm tools.

The tauren with strong physique and dark brown thick skin is more cold-resistant than the snow werewolves, but they are not cold-blooded animals that love low temperatures. When Xiao Yun and the patriarch arrived, Saladin was sitting cross-legged by the hearth-style fire pit in the wooden house to keep warm. On the low table next to it was the two-color pottery bowl exchanged with the Snow Werewolf yesterday... It seems that the tauren immediately divided them up after changing the pottery, and the efficiency is quite high.

"Welcome, friends of the Snow Wolf Clan." Saladin's wife is about the same height as the patriarch, and she is slightly stronger than the patriarch who is more than 90 kg in the horizontal direction. Moreover, she has breasts... the bulging chest under the linen clothes she wears is very Curvaceous, she is completely different from the females of the Snow Wolf Clan.

It's just too tall and strong, too healthy and beautiful, and the cow's head is also super fierce...

Being seated by the hearth-like fire pit, Xiao Yun withdrew the nerves stimulated by the female tauren, and calmly said to Saladin: "Thank you for the seeds you prepared for us, Saladin."

Saladin glanced at the two-color pottery bowl on the low table next to him, and then looked at Xiao Yun, his red bull's eyes were particularly calm.

At any rate, I also dealt with this elder brother Bull Demon King for a long time, and said a lot. Xiao Yun realized that the elder meant "no thanks, just a deal" or something like that... probably because he said too much yesterday Words, this elder cherishes words like gold even more.

"We snow werewolves have never farmed like tauren, so... I would like to take the liberty of asking if we can exchange some iron farm tools with you?" Xiao Yun said.

Saladin immediately showed a particularly ferocious and serious expression.

Without rejecting Xiao Yun on the spot, he assumed that he agreed, and looked sideways at the patriarch.

The patriarch... The patriarch took out an animal skin roll from his clothes with a painful expression on his face, carefully unwrapped the animal skin wrapped on the surface, and then unwrapped a layer of soft hay, revealing the delicate seated flower essence wrapped inside.

"Ah!" Saladin's wife exclaimed.

"..." Saladin's eyes were a little straightened when he looked at the seated flower essence.

This flower statue can be sold as a handicraft in a modern flea market for a dozen or 20 yuan... the size is about the same as the small plaster statue that children play with coloring, with a height of about [-] centimeters. The figure is barely more delicate, but the color is not enough Colorful, the wreath is actually mainly purple, and the lines depicting the facial features are not black enough... Fortunately, Xiao Yun has a little skill, the characters he pinches are still vivid, and he can draw a few strokes—whoever is judged by his old man My sister pinched the soft pottery so much that she couldn't be clumsy with her hands. He forced him to assemble and color half of the cabinets in Xiao Yun's elder sister's bedroom.

The patriarch reluctantly stared at the seated flower statue that in Xiao Yun's eyes was only an "introduction to soft pottery" but in the eyes of the aborigines it was "beautiful", and refused to let it go honestly. The attitude can be used to increase the value of the chip: "We want to exchange this statue of flower essence for some ironware, no weapons, just farm tools."

Saladin showed an unusually ferocious and frightening serious expression...

Xiao Yun didn't say that he opened his mouth loudly when he saw someone's heart fluttering. It would only be counterproductive to make a deal with the tauren.

Saladin put on a scary face for a long time, then turned to look at his wife, then got up and walked out of the house.

"Saladin is going to ask Patriarch Hall, and Patriarch Hall will make the decision." The wife explained to the guest.

Xiao Yun: "..." He silently turned his head to look at the flower statue he made. It seems that this thing really has such a value?

Saladin quickly brought back a yellow ox...uh, and brought back a strong tauren brother with thick black and yellow hair and braided pigtails. The brown skin and red eyes are quite different, and I don't know if the tauren are also multi-ethnic like the cat clan or whether they have individual mutations or something.

Patriarch Hall, the yellow-skinned bull demon king, saw the sitting statue of flower essence held by the patriarch of the Snow Wolf clan, and showed a ferocious and shocked expression...

Then Patriarch Hall did not speak, and only looked at the elder Saladin affectionately. There seemed to be invisible electric waves passing back and forth between the black and red eyes.

Saladin's wife looked at her husband and the patriarch of the family, and then at the guests: "Patriarch Hall said, if the Guoxue Wolf Clan doesn't ask for weapons, we can exchange them with you for iron farm tools."

The patriarch showed a look of pity and pain, Xiao Yun was shocked, wait, has the scalper brother spoken since he entered the door? !

"Well... we only want farm tools." Xiao Yun tried his best to be calm.

Saladin's wife turned to look at Patriarch Hall, and Patriarch Hall stared at her for a few seconds, then she said to Xiao Yun: "Patriarch Hall said that we don't have too many farm tools, and maybe we can't provide them for you. Satisfactory quantity."

——So the tauren are all radio-type?

"Our tribe only has [-] adults. If you can exchange enough agricultural tools for us, such as hoes and sickles, that's fine." Xiao Yun tried his best to calm down.

This time Xiao Yun concentrated all his energy to observe the scalper brother's reaction, and saw that the other party's pupils widened, and his eyes became more ferocious when he stared at Saladin's wife.

Saladin's wife breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The patriarch Hall said that we can take out twenty iron hoes and ten sickles."

Xiao Yun was calm on the surface, but tears of lasagna were shed in his heart—the tauren is really kind!He tried his best not to reach out too far, but the tauren was so active in letting him squeeze the wool!

The clan gave Thrall the palm-wide skinning knife back then, and gave the human caravan a few bundles of furs to get it!

"Thank you so much." From the bottom of his heart, Xiao Yun snatched the statue of flower essence from the patriarch's hand, and handed it to Saladin's wife respectfully.

Saladin's wife happily took the statue of the flower essence, stroked it carefully, and handed it to Patriarch Hall, but Patriarch Hall didn't answer it, and looked at her, as if she had received some signal, she sent a message to the guests. He nodded, and ran out holding the statue of the flower essence in both hands.

"Ah..." The patriarch stretched out his hand in pain, facing the back of Saladin's wife... Xiao Yun was so angry that he slapped his hand down.

Both parties were very satisfied with this transaction. Saladin stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Yun, two puffs of hot air spewed out from his nose, and after holding back the strength for a long time, he choked out two words: "Friend!"

Patriarch Huoer still didn't speak, just sending radio waves with deep eyes... But Xiao Yun didn't have a receiver.

——So the higher the status of you tauren, the worse your language ability is, right?

Xiao Yun knew that with the efficiency of the tauren, the hoe and sickle would be ready soon, so after using this deal to narrow the distance between the two parties, the next step is to stay with him for ten days or eight days, one is to wait for Qingyan The news over there, the second is to find an opportunity to get close to those gray dwarves who beat the autumn wind - with Xiao Yun's conscience, he can't do it if he is asked to continue to squeeze the wool of the tauren, but the gray dwarves can still squeeze a few. .

"Thank you for your willingness to exchange seeds and agricultural tools with us. I have nothing else to express my gratitude as a gift. Therefore, I want to share our snow werewolf house building experience with the tauren tribe." Xiao Yun said very sincerely.

Patriarch Hall and Elder Saladin put on fierce and shocked faces at the same time... Building a house?Snow werewolf?Are there times when these two words can be linked together? !

"When we moved to the southwestern part of the grassland and settled down, our tents were severely damaged. Even if there was no snow, the nights were too cold to sleep. But we didn't have the tools to process wood, and we couldn't build wood like the tauren. to build houses, so we brought mud from the river..."

Xiao Yun talked eloquently, and opened his mouth to make up a folk tale about a snow werewolf in the cold autumn wind using his brains to invent a mud-brick house...

Burning pottery and wool processing are the main export products of the tribe in the near future. Xiao Yun will definitely not share them with others right now. Unless the Snow Wolf Clan points out new skill points, Xiao Yun will take out this backward technology. pull relationship.

Now, it is no problem to share the mud brick house technology that can be completed by women and children without much technical content. The snow werewolves will not suffer any losses because of this, and the living environment of the tauren will be safer. , Be warmer—a wooden house is good-looking, but it is not suitable for the prairie in the cold temperate climate. Burning a hearth-style fire pit in a wooden house is a great risk of fire, isn’t it?

Well, the main reason is that you can cheat people away with [-] pieces of ironware with a pottery-fired flower essence. Maybe the tauren don’t feel that it’s a disadvantage now, but if they sell more in the future, they’re afraid that people will react to the snow werewolf trick... so use Let me give back to these old brothers with the technology of the mud brick house. Thirty pieces of iron are replaced with the technology of building a house, plus a gift of a seated flower essence. Why can no one say that the snow werewolf is not kind?
