"Dong dong dong..." Before Guan Heng and the others could react, the barbarian knelt on the ground and kowtowed seven or eight times in one go: "Thank you, my benefactor, thank you, my benefactor..."

"Brother, please get up."

Guan Heng saw that the other person's forehead was bruised and bleeding, and he knew that the other person was sincerely apologizing. He quickly helped the person up and said: "We only helped this person by chance, but don't do this again in the future."

You're so reckless, you don't even know who I am waiting for you to attack, what if you hurt an innocent person?"

"Yes, what the benefactor said makes sense... My name is 'Min Cheng', and the deceased is my brother. I wonder what the benefactors call him?"

After hearing Mincheng introducing himself, Guan Heng and others also reported their names one by one. At this time, a barbarian next to him said with a bit of embarrassment: "Guys, I'm really sorry. Originally, our Xuangu tribe was not like this.

He is aggressive and bloodthirsty, but he has been a little anxious recently by those guys from the 'Queheng Tribe', so he took action before he could distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. I'm sorry."

Hearing this, Shang Tianlin asked with some curiosity: "Excuse me, who are the people of the Guiheng tribe? They have actually formed a grudge against you?"

Then Min Cheng scratched his head and said: "Well... I can't explain it in a few words. If you don't mind, please go to the tribe's settlement and sit down. I'll let the chief of the tribe who is familiar with the situation tell you.

Listen."

"Okay, we also have some things to ask the chief of the Xuangu tribe." Guan Heng and the other three actually wanted to investigate the matter of the Xuangu barbarians kidnapping children. Since the other party invited them, they just went along and asked for details.

The surrounding area of ​​Xuangu Island stretches for dozens of miles, with mountains, springs, waterfalls, and even a large forest. The group of Xuangu barbarians lived in a community settlement at the end of the forest. After a short while, they passed through

After entering the forest filled with gray mist, Mincheng and the others led Guan Heng and others to their own territory.

Asking the other four people to carry the remains of his brother Min Xiao to a nearby tribe's cemetery for burial, Min Chenggong led the guests to the wooden house where the tribe leader, Qin Pi, lived.

After the introduction, Qin Pi, an old patriarch who was over sixty years old, immediately expressed his gratitude to Guan Heng and others, and invited everyone to sit together.

Qin Pi asked at this time: "Little brother, I heard from Min Cheng that you have something you want to inquire about? Then just ask. If I know anything, I will definitely tell you guests."

"Ahem, clan leader."

After clearing his throat first, Guan Heng then asked: "It sounds a bit presumptuous to say it, but I would like to know that in recent times, the Xuangu tribe has gone to nearby fishing villages to kidnap children. I wonder if you can explain it.

Don’t worry, we are just passers-by, it doesn’t matter to the residents of those fishing villages, we are just curious.”

"Oh. If this is what the little brother wants to inquire about, old man... Well, I feel ashamed to say it. In fact, this kind of thing did happen recently. However, the villagers in the nearby fishing villages all misunderstood that the Xuangu tribe

People go looking for those children, not to rob them, but just to take something from them."

Hearing this, Guan Heng and others were a little surprised. Even Min Cheng, who was accompanying him next to him, blushed and looked embarrassed. Seeing this scene, Guan Heng asked curiously: "Chief, I don't know what you are talking about, child."

The things on them are..."

Qin Pi muttered in a low voice: "Ahem, it's just child urine."

In an instant, everyone present's faces became extremely excited when they heard these two words, especially the girl Shang Tianlin, whose cheeks suddenly turned red. She stood up hurriedly and said, "Well, Ghost Swallowing Tiger seemed a little depressed just now.

, I’ll take it for a walk in the nearby woods, let’s go.”

After saying this, Tian Lin fled out of the bark house like flying.

After the only girl left, everyone's embarrassment subsided slightly, and the Qinpi clan leader also told all the reasons.

It turns out that people of the Xuangu tribe have been covered with strange ringworm on their upper bodies since birth. This genetic disease cannot be completely cured. It is usually not dangerous, but it will occur at some point in adulthood.

During this period, there is a crisis of sudden death.

At that time, the ringworm on the upper body of the Xuangu tribe will suddenly crack between day and night, opening up countless horrific wounds, causing the blood to drain out of the body. This is definitely a time of impending disaster for an adult Xuangu tribe member.

The period of the outbreak of tinea versicolor is not fixed, so people within the Xuangu tribe call it the "Epidemic of tinea versicolor"!

In order to prevent the tribe from being wiped out due to the epidemic, the ancestors of the Xuangu tribe tried their best. They made various attempts and finally found a folk remedy, which was to let each tribe member use "child urine" at the change of autumn and winter every year.

"By mixing this kind of stuff with bathing in hot springs in the mountains, you can barely suppress the outbreak of the green poison epidemic and save a small life.

However, "that stuff" from children of the same tribe does not work. That is because they are related by blood, and they also have the roots of the epidemic disease lurking in their bodies, so only the urine of ordinary children can be used.

The Xuangu tribe has always had little contact with the outside world, so it is very difficult to collect "materials" for bathing.

It was not until a few decades ago that the then chief of the Xuangu Clan got to know an elder of the tribe, and the two parties reached an agreement to provide the Xuangu Clan with the bathing items they need each year on condition that they give away special products from the Xuangu Island.

Child urine.

At the beginning of this agreement, both parties were very satisfied. After all, Xuangu Island is rich in products, including animal skins and medicinal materials, which are also things that the other party urgently needs.

However, as time passed, greed and excessive demands gradually overshadowed the past friendship...

In recent years, the "Quiheng Tribe" that exchanges items with the Xuangu Tribe has become more and more excessive. Not only does it increase the types and quantities of items it needs every year, it even makes more exorbitant demands.

The cause of the matter was just half a year ago. A Xuangu tribesman who was hunting in the mountains and forests suddenly fell into a canyon on the island that no one had ever been to, and unexpectedly ran back alive. Not only that, this man also brought

Big good news: There are actually several rich copper mines in the uninhabited canyon!

Speaking of which, copper ore is a good thing. It can be used to forge utensils and weapons. As long as there are good craftsmen around, copper ore can be turned into treasure.

At that time, the Xuangu tribe really thought that they were about to turn over, and the tribe leader Qin Pi also considered not only doing "business" with the Guiheng tribe.

After all, if you have copper ore in your hand, you can cast "copper shells" at the lowest level. This kind of thing is common among the three ancient countries. You can exchange it for anything, let alone children's urine.

That kind of inconspicuous thing.

Just when the leader of the Qinpi tribe met with the envoy from the Guiheng tribe who came to ask for the items and expressed his intention to terminate the cooperation, the other party actually claimed that he must make everyone in the Xuangu tribe regret it, and finally walked away angrily.
Chapter completed!
