Although ye nongying said to help, Duanmu yawang also knew that she was actually a real eldest lady. She really knew what to do, so she only asked her to help the little white deer pick up firewood, make fire and boil water.
She had to do it herself.
Yin Huiyin used his sword to scrape the scales and open the belly for the fish.
However, he moved very fast. It didn't take him long to deal with a bucket of fish.
Duanmu yawang was plucking chicken feathers when the little white deer squatted down to help. Suddenly he saw something and pointed, "sister, there seem to be a lot of pheasants there!"
Duanmu Ya looked for a sound and saw a group of chickens.
Her eyelids jumped and she said something bad in her heart. When she was about to speak, she heard a burst of footsteps.
"Someone!"
Night nongying and others also heard footsteps, one by one from leisure and laziness to vigilance.
Soon, someone came out in that direction.
There are four people, a man, a woman and two children.
Both men and women are giants. There are two children, a boy and a girl. The little girl is lower than the little white deer, and the little boy is higher than the little white deer. It seems that they are very young children.
This should be a family of four.
The male and female giants hold a child's hand, and the other hand holds a long branch stick. There are more than ten sheep in front. It seems that they should be driving sheep.
Suddenly I saw several people, and the four members of the family were stunned.
The two children shrank behind the adults, hiding behind the adults and timidly looking at the strange four people in front of them.
The two giant men and women quickly reacted and saw Duanmu yawang making a fire and pulling hair. Their faces changed. The male giant led the child behind him to the female giant and asked angrily, "who are you? Why do you want to break into my forest and kill my chicken without authorization?"
I know.
Duanmuya looked and sighed. When she saw a group of chickens appear, she guessed that they didn't catch pheasants.
After all, there are no pheasants in large groups.
Someone must have come here to herd.
It's really wrong to catch someone else's chicken and kill it.
Duanmu yawang bowed to them one by one and said formally, "sorry, we only saw two. We thought they were pheasants. I didn't expect you to raise them."
Her attitude is very sincere. She is also a small one. She is still a girl. The giant's face eased a little, but she still said: "I think you are also cultured and cultured people. I believe we shouldn't have a conflict because of two chickens, right?"
"Of course."
The male giant's words were very vague and polite. Duanmu yawang couldn't hear them. She said, "we know that raising a chicken takes a lot of food and energy. We caught it casually. Apologizing certainly can't solve the problem and will compensate. I just don't know how you want to compensate?"
Male giant: "we usually have a chicken the size of your hand. We want a golden bean pod."
"Sorry, we're not from Baizhou. We don't have gold beans. Can we use other gold instead?" Duanmu yawang knew that gold beans were used in some places on the way back from heishenlin.
"This..."
The male giant looked at his wife and children and said truthfully, "other gold is not as valuable as gold pods here."
"We know."
Duanmu Ya nodded and took two gold ingots from the heaven and earth bag.
Because they were separated by a small river, Duanmu yawang jumped across the river. The four members of the male giant family saw that she was particularly light. Although she was a dwarf, she was still a little defensive.
The four stepped back one after another.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Duanmu yawang comforted them, walked closer and handed the gold ingot to the male giant, "do you think these two gold ingots are enough?"
The golden bean pod is the size of a peanut, and the gold ingot in her hand is a gold ingot, one as big as a child's fist.
"Er!"
The male giant was stunned and muttered, "there are too many pieces."
Duanmu yawang felt that the male giant was honest and handed out one piece: "then one piece. We have no other gold except this."
The male giant hesitated and didn't answer. The female giant said, "there's still more than one piece. If you still need it, you can catch another chicken. That's almost it."
"Good."
Duanmu yawang smiled and answered.
"Then choose one?"
Duanmu yawang casually stretched out a finger, and the male giant went to catch it for her.
Duanmu yawang thanked the chicken and handed the male giant gold.
The male giant also thanked and Duanmu yawang was curious: "there is a large deep forest here. I don't see any people nearby. Why do you live here?"
"No, there are more than a dozen families in the forest, but they are all on the other side." when the male giant said, he pointed to a direction, thought of something and asked, "who are you?"
"Ever heard of a dwarf?"
"Are you dwarfs?" the male giant was surprised, and his wife and children were also surprised. The children even thought it was fun and were not so afraid. They came out from behind the adults and looked at them curiously.
"Yes."
"Why did you dwarfs come here?"
"We are going to the endless city." duanmuya told them truthfully when she saw that they were sincere and honest.
After listening to the so-called endless City, the three members of the family showed a confused look. Obviously, they had never heard such a name.
Duanmu yawang didn't care either. Now that she talked about the endless City, there happened to be someone. She could just ask, "brother, I don't know where this is?"
"Mershire."
County?
Duanmuya looked at her eyelids and said, "which city does this belong to?"
"We don't belong to any city, we are scattered people." the male giant said: "the dialect can see a white desert, and there is a resident in the middle of mershire in front. Everyone fled from one place."
Night nongying found out the map at this time, checked it carefully, came to Duanmu Ya and said, "we didn't see the so-called Mo county. Did we go the wrong way?"
"It's possible."
Duanmu yawang nodded, took the map and handed it to the male giant: "I don't know where on this map, what do you know?"
The male giant shook his head: "I can't read."
Night nongying suggested, "if you can't read the place names you know, you can respond when you hear them. Why don't you read them to him and see what place names he knows?"
"OK."
Duanmu yawang thought this method was feasible, so he looked at the map. Starting from liudao City, place names were read to male giants one by one.
After reading more than a dozen, the male giant looked confused until he read more than 30. The male giant patted his thigh and said, "I know, er County, just go tens of miles west."
Duanmu Ya looked at her heart and asked, "to the west? In this direction?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The male giant nodded again and again, "that's the direction."
Night Nong Ying came to see the map in Duanmu yawang's hand and analyzed it: "if we go tens of miles to the west, in fact, we don't go too wrong. When we go to Erjun and go north, we can return to our main route."
"Yes."
According to the map, it is.
While they were talking, Yin Huiyin had been dealing with the fish, opening his mouth, breaking his belly, digging out the visceral fish gills, and then washing them one by one in the river.
The male giant often looks at him and thinks he's strange. He can't see his face in a black cloak. When washing fish, he can't even see his hands. He can only see a dark ball.
The male giant noticed him because he thought he was strange and terrible and dangerous. However, seeing that he had been diligent in washing the fish without saying a word and felt simple and calm, he was not afraid. Instead, he asked curiously, "why do you catch so many fish?"
"Yes, of course."
Duanmu yawang said with a smile, "Baizhou is full of deserts and sparsely populated. It's not easy to eat meat. Now when you see fish in the river, you can't help catching more and storing them."
"It's not a good weather to reserve meat." when the male giant said, he said again: "but these river fish are too small and thorny. It's very troublesome to eat. You don't want to buy more chickens?"
Then he hurriedly said, "of course, it's okay not to buy."
"Buy, buy!"
Before Duanmu yawang answered, the little white deer snapped, "we buy it. How much are you willing to sell?"
