"In this situation, there will be piggyback teams?" Lothar looked at the sulky boy sitting in the corner, and the expression on her face relaxed unconsciously. It''s hard to imagine that although he was quite gentle with children before, since Helen was born, he has been unable to separate himself from the children again. Every child reminds him of his daughter, and the prank just now is nothing.
As for the piggyback teams, they have different names in different regions. Caravans, caravans, and camel caravans, in short, are commercial activities carried out with carriages or livestock with certain weight and long-distance travel as the main carrying capacity. Because in a relatively closed society, the piggyback team is the contact between the small society and the small society, so they can always bring interesting news and novel goods from afar or on the way. Therefore, it is not surprising that they are welcomed by children and even become the objects they want to join. Even Rosa himself had fantasized about being a bard following a pack.
"Yes." The old woman nodded. Unlike her son, she didn''t seem to have any sense of anxiety. This ease made the count feel that she was not simple. "In fact, this tribe is a transit station for many piggyback teams, because there are few semi settled settlements on the grassland. In addition, the listing Fair provides a safe and fair environment for merchants. They always settle here. Now the situation is really not good. Many of the piggyback teams that should have come in this period of time have not come. Maybe they have deliberately bypassed here. Don''t believe it. Those people''s noses are sharper than the best hounds. If there is any problem, they can avoid it. "
"Businessmen always do." Rosa replied, but the expression was not very good. He has seen the merchant''s face many times. When he was a child, his parents died and his territory was ruined. Those businessmen who lived there fled one after another. Later, he was raised by Cangshi Xianwang, and the merchants rushed back to Heishan as soon as the tide. Not to mention the rat man disaster a few years ago, the whole Cang lion merchants were moving their property out of the kingdom in a planned way. Later, Marcus could hardly contain his anger when he mentioned it to him. It is natural to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, but most businessmen are more obvious.
"Yes. But thanks to them, this place is so lively that people like us can live on. " The woman seemed to hear the deep meaning of the count''s tone and turned the topic lightly, "otherwise, the orphans and widows would have to expose their bodies in the wilderness. The rats will gnaw at the grass roots, but without the mice, the eagle will attack the lamb, which is the truth of the spirits
Lothar nodded, things are not only one side, can only see a single face of things, often not because of the fixed appearance of the object, but the observer''s perspective is rigid in one place. He still understands this truth. Therefore, the little anger quickly dissipated. The count blinked and exchanged greetings enough. The woman showed her trustworthiness. He decided not to waste any more time. "The eagle will attack the lamb, and the shepherd will stop with a whip. There is a lamb being watched at the moment. I wonder if you can tell us where we should go to save her fate. "
"Don''t worry, dear guest. The lamb you''re looking for has been watched all day, and if the eagle wants to start, it''s already done. It''s still hesitating, it''s still circling. You may as well go to see the piggyback team with our mother and son. This is the last one to stop in the market. If they leave, it will be desolate here. " The woman''s attitude was strange, at least to ATA. She once said she had been informed by ensord. What she said just now also proved that she was aware of the situation of nuisa and the urgency of time, but she made this seemingly inconceivable proposal.
The swordswoman immediately wanted to say something, but was stopped by the black cat on her shoulder with a slight movement. There was a smile on the corner of Rosa''s mouth. He seemed to understand something, "I see. Please show us the way. We haven''t seen the prairie pack team since we first came here. This time, we can open our eyes. Are you right, little fellow? "
"Hum." The boy did not look at Lothar, but ran over to help her up when she got up. For a child of this age, he is quite sensible. Such a sensible child should not make the act of secretly attacking guests with a catapult outside the door. And a child with a great curiosity about the pack team should not turn a blind eye to cats in clothes. Without more evidence, Lothar had already deduced that the mother and son were acting, but for whom they were acting, and what effect would they perform?
"Come on, guest. We''ve got to go fast, or we''ll miss the pack The woman passed by Lothar and spoke to them in a soft voice. The count''s eyes were on one side as they crossed by, but the change lasted only a moment, and then returned to normal. Four people and a cat left the tent one after another. When there was no sound in the tent, two tentacles slowly protruded from the carpet made by the old woman. Then, a strange creature with thick arm slowly climbed out. It had a centipede like head, but its body was as sticky as a worm.
"Are you being watched?" Walking in the noisy streets of the western market, the count''s face was as usual, his lips did not even open and close, but a weak but clear voice came from his mouth. He learned it with an artist in lost heart Bay. At that time, it was purely to amuse Helen and satisfy his curiosity. Unexpectedly, it is now in use. As for whether it''s safe to say this in public, in fact, it''s much safer to talk in a noisy room than the so-called quiet room. Especially when several people are on the road, it''s too difficult to eavesdrop."Now the market is full of insects, so you should be careful when you sleep. If you don''t pay attention, the worm goes into your mouth. " The woman''s answer sounds like complaining about the sanitary conditions in the market, but for those who have seen the worms in their stomachs, the explanation is quite different. And thinking of the last time that intelligence merchant also burst to death at an important time, the woman''s caution is quite necessary. Besides, listening to her tone, I''m afraid that there is not an individual worm in the abdomen. There may be many similar cases in markets and even tribes.
"You''re right, and we''re annoyed. I just don''t know where these bugs come from? When we came to the grassland, we didn''t know much about the insects on the grassland
"Well, I didn''t say that. I really don''t know. You see, I just do a small business. To be honest, even those maps were left by my dead husband. That was his skill and his destiny. I don''t want to do this now. I just want to see Lao Jiu grow up safely. I have no spare power for other things. "
