Chapter 2146 Discovery
Manbao stayed close to the ground. After listening for a long time, Manbao heard a clicking sound coming from the ground. It seemed to be coming from a distant place, but when he listened carefully, it seemed to be right in front of him.
Her eyes were bright, and she raised her eyes to look at Bai Shan opposite.
Bai Shan also heard it, and was equally surprised. He lay on the ground, put his head close to the ground, closed his eyes and listened carefully. The clicking sounds were different, some were louder, and some were lighter.
, many sounds are mixed together, but a considerable part of them overlap.
Bai Shan's fingers couldn't help but beat up and down along with these sounds...
Man Bao listened for a while, then sat up and asked Daji, "How do you know whether these sounds are those of horses, cows or sheep?"
Daji paused for a moment and then said, "You'll know it as soon as you hear it."
He thought for a while and then said: "The sound of horse hooves should be heavier and thicker. The size of the hooves is different, and the sound of landing is also different. Miss Man can distinguish it even if she listens a lot."
Man Bao pondered, "So I still have to listen more."
This was the first time for Bai Shan to lie down on the ground and listen to such a sound. It was quite strange, so he discussed with Man Bao, "When we get back to the convoy, we can lie down and listen too, so that we can still hear the sound of the carriage."
Man Bao nodded.
Daji:……
However, the two of them were already looking in the same direction and asked Daji excitedly, "Daji, is that where the sound is coming from?"
Daji took a look and nodded, "Yes, there should be someone behind that hill."
He said: "Now that the snow has melted and green buds have appeared on the grassland, the herdsmen grazing should be migrating in search of better grassland. We should have encountered tribal migration."
Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other and were eager to try, "Shall we go and have a look?"
Daji looked back at the way he came and said, "Master, we are too far away from the convoy. Why don't we go back to the official road first. I heard that they are going east. If we go north, we should meet each other."
"Then let's go take a look first. It's a good idea to inquire about the news first." Seeing that Daji didn't look very relieved, Man Bao said, "I'll just take a look from a distance and never run out."
She asked Keke in her mind, "Koko, is there anyone on the other side of the hill?"
"Yes," Keke is now being stared at by the main system from time to time. Unless it finds a species that needs to be included, it never takes the initiative to speak. However, since Manbao has asked, it will not just answer with one sentence, but will be friendly.
Providing more information, it said: "Many people, many horses, cattle and sheep."
Unfortunately, it has included all the varieties.
When Man Bao heard this, he felt even more relieved and said to Daji: "Since we are migrating, we can probably be friends."
This kind of tribe, where the whole family migrates, will generally be kind to others and will not go out of its way to be evil.
Daji naturally knew this, so the three of them collected the dug medicinal materials, mounted their horses and ran towards the hillside.
The hillside looked very close, but they ran for a quarter of an hour before they arrived. They slowed down and let the horses go around the hillside from the side. The three of them got down before reaching the top of the hillside. After appeasing their horses, they bent down and climbed up.
In front of them, the three of them were lying on the top of the slope looking down.
I saw densely packed cattle and sheep below. Many herdsmen on horses were driving them forward. Further behind were herdsmen gathered. They moved very slowly. With their eyesight, they could barely see the herds being crowded.
The old people and children gathered around the car in the middle...
"Is this the whole clan? There aren't many people."
Bai Shan looked at it carefully and said, "It should be a small tribe, but they have so many cattle and sheep."
"Yes, there are so many."
Man Bao drooled a little, "It just looks so small."
Daji: "Miss Man, it's only spring now."
Sheep are raised until autumn before being sold, so they are naturally smaller, but...
Daji took a closer look and found that there were actually quite a few old sheep in the flock, but they were all scattered around the flock, protecting the younger sheep in the middle, so they were not visible.
Bai Shan also discovered this, and he mused: "There are still so many adult sheep. It seems that their business was not very good last year, and he did not slaughter many.
Man Bao's eyes still glanced at the old and young herdsmen behind them who were carrying a lot of luggage, and said: "Xuexiong Yang said that many people died because of smallpox at the beginning of the year."
Neither Bai Shan nor Daji spoke.
People die, but their cattle and sheep will remain.
The two of them just lay side by side and watched the large group of horses, cattle and sheep walking down the hillside. The herdsmen's convoy also came to the front and was passing slowly. Manbao could see the sadness on the faces of the adults and the faces of the children.
smile on the face.
Bai Shan turned his head as they marched, and a flower that was pressed under his chin popped out. Bai Shan raised his hand to press it down. Halfway through, he looked at it seriously, and then pulled Man Bao, "
Is this medicine?"
Man Bao took one look and said, "It's a red flower. It can activate blood circulation and remove blood clots. I'll dig it up soon."
While the two were talking, Daji suddenly said: "They discovered us."
Man Bao and Bai Shan immediately turned their heads and looked down, and saw a child on the cart they had just walked past pointing in their direction and saying something to the people around them.
The herdsmen driving the carts and the herdsmen walking beside them on horseback all looked over. Immediately, a dozen people came out of the team and were riding towards them.
Man Bao even saw the scimitar in his hand with sharp eyes.
Bai Shan also saw it, and without thinking, he picked up Man Bao and stood up from the hillside, then raised a big smile and waved hello to them very happily.
The herdsman who had half-struck the scimitar paused, put the scimitar back, and rode his horse up the hillside.
Standing on the top of the hillside, you can have a clear view of the surrounding situation. The leading herdsman only saw what seemed to be a convoy on the road in the distance.
He looked at the direction of the convoy, then lowered his head and looked down at the three people standing on the top of the hillside, and hung the scimitar back on his waist.
He spoke to them in less than proficient Chinese, "What are you doing?"
Bai Shan led Man Bao forward, bowed first, and greeted them in the Hu language they learned, "Hello, we are a caravan passing by here. We came to pick some herbs because we saw them. My name is Bai Shan."
, this is my fiancée, it’s the first time I’ve seen so many cattle and sheep migrating together, so I looked at it curiously for a while, I hope I didn’t offend you.”
After hearing what he said and looking him up and down, the herdsmen thought he was very good-looking. He didn't have the evil spirit of those horse thieves, so he was probably not a horse thieves.
So they felt relieved. They got off the horse and took a look at the medicine basket behind Zhou Man. After a few more seconds, they also smiled and said, "We are grazing, and you are a caravan? What kind of goods do you bring? Are there any?"
