Supply
Chapter 243:Supply
There is no need to urge Niu Xu at all, after a short period of sluggishness, the weak chickens are walking with long legs and camels, and the oasis under the dunes is galloping.
At this time, it is soon after the dawn of the morning, in the dozens of shacks in the oasis, the smoke of the stew is now rising; all this shows that there is a living people here, but also represents a wonderful reality, there must be a cool water source.
A few minutes later, the weak chicken rushed into the oasis with a huge movement, and the foot kept rushing past the dozen shacks.
For a time, the great movement caused a large number of dry and thin men to poked their heads out of the shack, and they all carried all kinds of stone weapons in their hands; but after seeing that only Niu Xu was alone, they put down their guard in their eyes.
The main reason is that Niu Xu is only a thin body in this era, and the sad appearance at this moment, it really fails to make them feel a little threat.
However, they still carried their weapons and slowly came out of the shack, but the pace at their feet seemed quite leisurely; when the cattle pulled the grass rope to control the weak chicken to stop, the men in the shack had all gone out, and the number of Niu Xu was estimated to touch the appearance of people in the five or sixty.
At the same time, Niu Xu can detect many pairs of eyes, is through the hidden door, also carefully observing themselves.
“Do you have water, please?”Or where there is water, please give me some clean water for this orphaned traveler, and I will repay you.”He asked the men around him.
After hearing the two words of the reply, the men burst out with loud laughter at the same time; then someone pointed to one of the separate shacks and said, "Our Taji tribe's well is there, but..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Niu Xu had already pressed his thirst for clean water, and rode the weak chicken to the separate cottage and rushed madly.
Just when I saw that I was about to rush to the small shack, a man in his thirties appeared in front of the door and blocked the door to death.
In contrast, the man who blocked the door was much cleaner in his clothes than the others, and the whole person did not seem so thin; as for the bronze long knife in his hand, it was more obvious to those who were noble than those stone tools, and definitely the role of the leader did not run.
However, feel that the throat and liver and other organs have been because of the lack of water, and the fast-burning cattle Xu, where will care about these small details, can endure the impulse of the heart, rather than a knife to the immediate obstacles of the goods flying, is already the limit of his reason.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Please let me go in and get some water..."
“Drinking water?Of course there is no problem, that is, there is no problem for you to refill your waterbag; I am Tarrou, the chief of the Taji tribe."The man said with a warm face, but the problem is that there is no meaning of letting go.
Niu Xu could feel the other person's eyes, quickly looked back and forth on his body, as if he could see through all the secrets he had hidden; in an instant, a very bad presentiment rose in his heart.
Soon the man in front of him said his practical purpose: "The price of the Taji tribe is very reasonable, if you go in and drink water, hand over your long gun; as for the fullness of your water bag, you will take out all your greetings in exchange."
Finally, he said in an unusually disgusting tone: "As for your ugly riding beast or forget, you can rest assured to keep it..."
"Black, it's black to the bone, it's just naked while you're on fire."This is the only thought that Niu Xu has heard the man in front of him, after a string of conditions in his mouth, has risen in his heart.
According to the news he had heard from other carpants before, it was quite common for foreign carnants to pay a certain amount of compensation when they entered the oasis when they were resupplying water.
But the reward is nothing more than hundreds of jade coins, or materials of equal value, which is the price that a hundred-sized carous company needs to pay; the man in front of him is simply to kill himself as a wrong head.
But after a short period of reflection, he knew that he had no choice at all; for this reason, he was glad that everything he put on the back of the weak chicken was put on it, and there was really not much loss.
So he took a sac and said, "Sold it, take it for yourself, and leave this fool bird to me."
After that, he went straight away and squeezed into the man in front of him.
Sure enough, there was a small well in the small shack; the fastest speed of Niu Xu hit a bucket of clear water, and suddenly fell down on himself, and the cool water was poured on his head, and the feeling of flowing into his mouth seemed so beautiful.
As for the angry cry of the weak chicken outside the door, Niu Xu could not control so much.
*****
Tarrou, while constantly unloading things from the ugly riding beast in front of him, counted the harvest of this transaction.
He is very pleased with the deal he has just made.
For example, the long gun in the hand is very good, the cold light of the gun head, seems to be much better than his baby's bronze knife; just this weapon, I am afraid that it will be able to sell a very good price.
"Chief Tarrou, he is obviously alone, why should I make any trade, that is not better?"A confidant of the warrior came up to him, interrupted the movement of Tarrou's hand, and quietly made a neck-wiping position when he spoke.
“Don’t think it’s as simple as it is, a man who dares to come to the desert hinterland alone and try his luck on the ruins of the tribe, even if he is alone, in this state; we can kill him, but if a few people die, it is not a big loss.”Tarrou’s face was explained.
Then, when he saw the many things on the ground, his face once again showed a proud color: "Like me, the practice just made him very sad, but it will not force him to the point of death, so that these treasures have become ours, is not the best result?" 」
Finally, he concluded: "Being a person should be practical, the legend of the baby that can break through the realm of the nine-level totem warrior is indeed a good and priceless baby; but for hundreds of years, who really won."
The expression of incomparable admiration rose from the face of the confidant warrior, which made Tarrou's expression more satisfied.
It was also at this time that the whole body of the wet cow Xu came out of the small shack, holding the bulging waterbag in his hand, and after hello to Tarrou, he rode only a weak chicken with only a grass rope, and once again left this oasis.
"Chief Tarrou, should you hurry in and see, this outsider will not destroy our well."The warriors proposed it to him.
Tharu said with disdain: "This man, with his bare hands, can do something to destroy in such a short period of time."
Even he made a playful little joke: "Even if this guy wants to piss on the well to vent his dissatisfaction, but he must have goods in his stomach."
After that, he continued to count the harvest; until a long time later, he walked into the small shack where the well behind him was.
Immediately, a huge howl sounded in the oasis: "This day killed, how our wells bottomed out, this is hoarding for half a year, only to reserve so much water!"“
