This nameless river is wide and calm, and the water flows slowly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The black fishermen quickly approached Xiao Er and Wang Zheng's sailboat.

They easily stood up on the trunk canoe, turned their faces up, and chirped at the people on board, and their teeth were still quite white.

No one understood what they were saying.

The black fishermen were desperately gesticulating------ but they still couldn't understand it.

What do they mean by pointing to the white clouds in the sky?!

The Egyptian merchant didn't understand either, but he tried to say a few things, and the other party was still chattering, and he looked a little anxious------ it was useless to be anxious, what is the matter with you?!

At this time, only the sound of conch was heard on the riverbank------ and a larger trunk-like canoe sailed out, and there were two people rowing on it, one in front of the other, and in the middle sat a fellow with a lot of feathers on his head, all of which were two feet long.

Is this a head man?

When he reached the side of the sailboat, he also stood up, and glanced at the people on the sailboat with a majestic gaze.

He paid special attention to the appearance of the small Egyptian merchant.

As a result, he finally spoke human words------ and the little Egyptian merchant happily translated to everyone that they had negotiated with merchants like us before, and they gave them birds that could learn human language, and the merchants wanted to give them cloth like white clouds in the sky, but why did they come now?! Well?!

They have all waited for a long, long time, and the fruits on the tree have fallen countless times!

The small Egyptian merchant immediately said to Xiao Er and Wang Zheng that he had never done business with such a black man, and he dared to swear to the prophet that he had never done it!

The little Egyptian merchant said something to the man with the feathers in his head, but the man nodded firmly, not knowing what to answer.

The little Egyptian merchant was about to cry, and he threw up his hands and cried out in great grievance: "I have never had business with them!" ”

Xiao Er and Wang Zheng looked at the angry expressions of those black people, and then looked at the aggrieved expressions of the Egyptian small businessman, they are not fake, it is estimated that those black people recognized the wrong person, maybe they have seen too little and too little, in the eyes of the black people, the back businessman is a bird, and he can't tell it------ but well, cotton cloth is not a problem.

The two of them noticed that the black people had a palm-wide burlap around their waists, and the head man seemed to have two slaps around his waist.

Xiao Er said: "We can give them white cotton cloth------ but do they still have the kind of birds that can speak 'human words'?" ”

Wang Zheng looked at the bird feathers on the head of the head man and said, "Maybe it's a parrot, what do you want it to do?" ”

Xiao Er said: "Let them learn to exchange!" ”

Yes, Wang Zheng immediately agreed.

This inexplicable deal continued.

When the blacks saw the cotton cloth like a white cloud in the sky, their expressions immediately changed from anger to surprise, and they chirped!

Really, not reserved at all------ they exchanged seven cotton horses for the ecstasy of those blacks.

Later, they found out that these people could count to seven at most, and any more would be messy.

This is all for later.

The blacks did send two more large parrots, big enough, almost a foot and a half high, and their feathers more than a meter long.

But this is not too unusual in the Great Song Dynasty, and some indigenous countries on the South Island often sell this bird to the Great Song Dynasty.

The seven white cotton cloths made hundreds of blacks pop out of the riverbank, and they also screamed and jumped, full of spirits!

Wang Zheng said: "So much labor can't be wasted------

Xiao Er observed them and said, "Let them cut wood, there are still some inconspicuous goods on the ship, don't take them back!" ”

The two of them told the small Egyptian merchant that they wanted them to help with the logging.

The Egyptian merchant spread his hands, shook his head, and said, "They don't have any metal tools, they just use stone chips------ you have seen, they don't even have fishing nets!" ”

Wang Zheng and Xiao Er thought about it, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said that there are metal minerals on this big island, and there are many gemstones, how can there be no metals? !

Xiao Er said calmly: "Have you been to their tribe? ”

The small Egyptian merchant shook his head a little nervously and said, "No one dares to go!" I heard that there are cannibals in that jungle!! It's better on the steppes upstream------"

Cannibals!

Wang Zheng and Xiao Er looked carefully at the black people who were happy.

There were still blacks on the shore who were eating some kind of fruit.

Xiao Er said, "You mean they eat people? ”

"It's not them, it's the ------ in this jungle"

Xiao Er smiled and said, "It can't be!" If they don't eat people, then they can't allow cannibals to exist around them, and they can't live like this!

This is very simple logical reasoning, if there is always a possibility of being prey by others, they will be armed to the teeth------ do you think they have weapons? I guess there's not even a beast in this jungle! ”

“------”

The small Egyptian merchant really didn't understand, just closed his mouth and shook his head.

Xiao Er still smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, take me to see ------"

Three swordfish clippers were hoisted from their big boats, and thirty of them, including the little two and the Egyptian merchants, were all armed and rowed to the shore.

Their swordfish boats made those blacks envious to death, and they couldn't catch up with them when they rowed desperately, and they screamed happily!

They went ashore and were greeted by the blacks, who probably didn't know what the other party's etiquette was, but they could understand the gifts.

Xiao Er gave the head man a knife, a pair of scissors, and a small bamboo tube of rock candy.

Except for scissors, the head man knew exactly what the knife could be used for, and he loved that bright knife to death!

He kept playing with the sun, and the laughter was like the laughter of the usual old hair.

After he took a piece of rock candy, he immediately showed a magical expression, which means that this stone is actually sweet!

The scissors-----

Xiao Er used scissors to cut his nails, in fact, they are not long, just to make a demonstration------ the nails of the head man are too long and ugly, and they have to be cut!

Their group was given a grand reception.

After Wang Zheng watched the group disappear into the bushes with those black people, he put down the monoculars, and it seemed that there should be no problems.

The returning merchant immediately took the binoculars and looked around.

Wang Zheng and Xiao Er promised him that after they went back this time, they would sell him at least fifty telescopes!

The merchant looked at the scenery and muttered, "Why don't you put precious stones, why don't you plate them with gold, even silver?" That way you can sell for a better price! ”

Wang Zheng ignored his words, and said many times, they don't have that idle time, and output is the most important thing.

Wang Zheng asked: "Do you dare to open a trading station here, we can cooperate, my manpower is not enough now------

The returning merchant said noncommittally: "Young and accomplished king, I do not see any business opportunity here, that kind of bird and feathers can be sold for some Hannar, and that hardwood on the shore can be sold, but it is too far away, and our profits will be eaten up by the sailors!" ”

Wang Zheng smiled, what has been eaten, he thinks the profit is low!

"Don't forget, there are countless cattle on the grasslands upstream!"

"Haha, you have to see it with your own eyes! However, the cattle transport is also too occupied------"

Wang Zheng didn't want to deal with him anymore, he was just a merchant, the lowest merchant, who only saw the profits of one trade.

When evening fell, a small rocket suddenly rose in the jungle in the distance, and when it exploded, it was a green light.

Wang Zheng knew that this was Xiao Er telling him that everything was safe.

They lowered their anchors by the river and took turns for the night. (To be continued.) )
