Chapter 546: Trafficking, Medicine Slaves (2)
Twelve carts, more than 1,000 poultry, five or six hundred large livestock for meat, plus more than 200,000 catties of grain, and a pile of pots and pans and other miscellaneous items, the whole village's property is just that.
Chu Tian sat crookedly on a big car, squinting at the fireworks in the village.
The stockade of five or six hundred people is located on a low peak, at the foot of which there is a river, and more than 1,000 acres of fields have been cultivated.
According to Chu Tian's fragmentary words from all around, he could know that this was an unprofessional bandit village, and he couldn't feed so many people in the village by relying on robbery, so he could only farm part-time to barely get enough food and clothing.
The people who broke through the stockade were 400 barely well-trained officers and soldiers, and 800 civilians they brought.
The stockade was broken, all the floating wealth was swept away, the broken wooden fence walls and thatched huts were burned to the ground, and a few scribes dressed in long robes, with a lot of oil and water on their bellies, who looked much fatter than the others, commanded more than a hundred people with a smile on their faces, and measured the fields under the stockade.
After sweeping the stockade, five or six hundred people were tied up by long straw ropes, and all of them became prisoners of the officers and soldiers, and the fields they had worked so hard to open up were naturally taken into official possession.
Chu Tian's ears were sharp, and he heard a few scribes muttering in a low voice, as if a certain adult in their mouth had already promised this land to a wealthy man, and he had sold it for a good price.
Around them, many old and young women and children in ragged clothes were crying quietly, and several babies in swaddling clothes were crying breathlessly, and their mothers covered their mouths with her hands firmly to suppress their cries.
said to Chu Tian that it was the young man he picked up who picked up Chu Tian and squatted beside the big car where Chu Tian was, and together with a few partners, his eyes were fiercely staring at the knights led by the officers and soldiers dozens of feet away.
Several knights' mounts lazily gnawed at the turf beside them, and in front of them lay a few bloody freshly peeled dog skins, on which were piled up hundreds of strings of coins shaped like knives, made of red copper, and in addition to coins, there were also some pieces of metal cast in the shape of cakes.
The dark red one is red copper, the blue and white one is not high purity silver, the dark yellow one is gold, and there is a purple-red one, only a dozen cakes, Chu Tian actually doesn't know what kind of material it is, it has always been a precious metal unique to this side of the world.
Chu Tian raised his head, and there were three thumb-sized suns lined up in the sky, and the blazing light sprinkled down, illuminating the mountains and forests like a cage, so hot that people were sweating all over.
This is no longer the world that Chu Tian is familiar with.
In Zi Wanzhong's words, this is another 'Heavenly Realm' in the Heavenly River!
Another world, therefore, it is a matter of course that there are precious metals that Chutian does not know. Chu Tian looked at the knights and argued in a low voice, you and I divided the spoils there one by one, and stuffed those silver, gold and purple-red metal pieces into the leather bag around his waist.
"It's really interesting, I can understand the language here, but some of the rural slang is a little different, but the general grammar and pronunciation are ninety percent similar. Chu Tian smiled: "I don't know what the words here are, but it's a pity that there is not a single book in this village." ”
"What about the Rat Master?" Chu Tian looked around, if he was not mistaken, it was exactly the same as what happened to him when he was born, and it was the Rat Master who dragged him to escape from the murder.
But where did the rat go?
However, with the means of the rat master, since he can make Chu Tian come here without missing arms and legs, he will not have a big deal to think about himself. With his ability, it would be easy to find Chu Tian, but he didn't have to worry too much about him.
Under the big tree, several knights finished dividing the spoils, they smiled with satisfaction, patted the bulging skin on their waists and stood up, one of the most burly knights shouted a few times, kicked the hundreds of strings of knife coins stacked on the dogskin, and pointed to the officers and soldiers around.
Many officers and soldiers laughed in unison, one by one.
Chu Tian looked at the pile of sword coins, probably every officer and soldier can get a string and a half, a string of sword coins can have two hundred, it seems that these sword coins are quite valuable, otherwise these officers and soldiers would not laugh like this.
Of course, it is also possible that this place is too poor, so with a little gain, these officers and soldiers will be satisfied, right?
Anyway, Chu Tian saw that in addition to a set of crumpled and patched uniforms, their weapons were no better than these part-time bandits in the cottage. If it weren't for the advantage of being outnumbered, and a few knights who were not weak to lead the team, they might not have been able to break this cottage.
A few officers and men, who were obviously in charge of the logistical baggage, hurried over, wrapped the pile of coins in dog skins, carefully placed them on a large cart, and put on a large animal shaped like a donkey, but much stronger than a donkey.
Several knights turned over and got on their mounts, and they shouted and greeted the few scribes who were still measuring the fields and registering them, and hundreds of officers and soldiers and people escorted the men, women, and children who were crying in the cottage, and walked slowly along a dirt road less than two feet long.
The officers and men and the people around them talked and laughed loudly with great interest, won a battle, and captured a lot of booty, and they were naturally in a good mood.
And the thieves in the cottage around Chu Tian, as well as their family members, were crying one by one, and their steps were extremely heavy when walking. On the twelve carts, in addition to lying Chu Tian, there were also dozens of wounded people from the cottage, who groaned and screamed from time to time, adding a bit of dullness to the team.
No one was in the mood to talk to Chu Tian, and he didn't have the strength to talk to people, so he could only lie on the cart and follow the team all the way forward.
I couldn't tell the difference between the east and the west, and I didn't know how many miles I walked, but after spending the night halfway through, the next day when the three rounds of the sun hung in the middle of the sky, the team came to a large mountain.
Several knights had already jumped off their mounts, and with a bit of respect and restraint, they walked to a mountain forest with a smile on their faces, and one of the knights shouted a few loudly.
The air in the mountain forest, which was clearly covered with thorns and did not even have a sheep's intestine path, was distorted, and the shadows of a large number of trees were blurred, revealing a yellow sand road three feet wide.
Several men wearing green cloth robes and looking at the sky walked out slowly, and one of them, who looked like he was forty miles away, snorted arrogantly: "Well, it's coming? This time, how many people have been sent? Don't be like last time, all the old and weak people come over to fill up the numbers!"
"Strong, good!" the burly knight at the head laughed with a hint of flattery: "Those who are tall and strong, even those women and children, are capable of working, this time, they are really good goods!"
