"Get down." Valencia did not look happy. She felt sorry for Warrior. She circled the grasslands five times before she finally got rid of the annoying purple Udy crows. She was so tired that she almost had white foam coming out of her mouth just to save a young boy who made people want to beat him up whenever he spoke.
"Okay." Tang Ling held the bird's nest and jumped off the horse.
Valencia heard Warrior panting, so she jumped off the horse as well. She caressed Warrior's neck and did not even look at Tang Ling.
However, Tang Ling did not mind it. She was a kind girl after all.
He opened his backpack and rummaged around. He took out a palm-sized sunflower seed and passed it to her. "Here, this is for you."
"What is it?" Valencia turned around and saw the palm-sized sunflower seed in Tang Ling's hand.
The shell of the sunflower seed was black with red stripes on it. It was round and full with a luster similar to a stone.
"Holy fruit? This is a holy fruit? " Valencia widened her eyes in shock. She was in disbelief as she took the thousand-vine sunflower seed from Tang Ling's hand and sniffed it.
It was the scent that had an unusual aroma. It was similar to the holy fruit that she had seen in the Uvandidi Tribe.
"Here, you can have it." Valencia's eyes were filled with reluctance, but the holy fruit was precious. She did not think what she had done was worth a fruit like this.
"Keep it." Tang Ling smiled nonchalantly with his hands in his pockets. He did not take the seed. "I told you that I'll repay you. I didn't find anything good, but this is okay. "
"This isn't something good?" Valencia was curious about the young boy. Legend had it that the holy fruit was from a plant in the Herrocky Mountain Ridge that ate humans. Even the most ferocious greedy wolf king was no match for the plant.
Valencia was curious about what kind of monster the plant was. Would it be bigger than the biggest tent in the village? However, the young boy said that the holy fruit was only okay.
"I don't know. I just picked it up." Tang Ling smiled innocently.
Valencia's jaw dropped. Picked it up? How can he pick it up? Isn't this guy a little too lucky? But other than picking it up, what other explanation could there be?
No. Looking at his skinny and weak appearance, not to mention the hunters in the village, even an average teenager would be stronger than him.
"Let's go." Tang Ling patted his backpack and slung it over his back. He held the bird's nest in his hand and looked ahead before he decided to move on.
According to the map, Barbarto Village was not far ahead. He wanted to find out if there was a small black market in the village. He was in urgent need of some supplies.
Valencia was stunned. "You're leaving just like that?"
"What else? I'm rushing to Barbarto Village. If I'm late, I'll … "Tang Ling scratched his head as he thought of something." Do you know Barbarto Village? "
As a matter of fact, it was not his fault for asking. There were six safety villages around the little flatland, but his route would only go through Barbarto Village.
In order not to delay his trip to Darkness Port, Tang Ling did not plan to go to the other villages. The little flatland was a common pasture for a few villages, so the girl might very well be from another village.
According to Su Siao's notes, he had to reach Darkness Port before December, which was a month before the Storm Voyage.
'Otherwise, you'll have to wait until July next year to find Zero,' Su Siao wrote in his notebook.
In short, Su Siao mentioned Zero many times as if he was an important person.
However, Su Siao's notes did not mention anything about Zero. The only thing he was sure of was that Zero was a man.
With that thought in mind, Tang Ling was a little frustrated. How was he going to find Zero in the sea of people?
Tang Ling was a little absent-minded.
Valencia, on the other hand, was surprised. "You're going to Barbarto Village? Why don't you come with me? "
Valencia was a little shy after she said that.
Although the girls in the grassland were passionate and bold, it was a little unreserved to invite a young man along.
"Sure, let's go together." Tang Ling was delighted. With a kind girl leading the way, it would save him a lot of trouble.
It was also because of the black girl that Tang Ling somehow had a good impression of Barbarto Village.
In the Purple Moon era, the chances of running into a bad guy was higher than running into a good guy. Since Miss Black was kind, the people in Barbarto Village must not be bad either.
Tang Ling and Valencia then continued their journey towards Barbarto Village.
Because of the seed of the thousand-vine sunflower, Valencia's impression of Tang Ling improved a lot, so she displayed the warmth of a grassland person and chatted non-stop with Tang Ling along the way.
Through their conversation, Valencia learned that the young man was called Donnie. He came from the other side of the grand canyon, which was a safety village at the foot of a branch of the Herrocky Mountain Ridge.
In their village, every teenager at the age of 15 would have to go on an adventure for three years.
According to Donnie, although the people of this village could not be considered to be powerful, they possessed abundant experience in surviving in the wilderness.
I see.
Valencia felt like she had learned something new. As the two of them chatted along the way, they arrived at Barbarto Village.
Barbarto Village was located at the south of the Raqir Little Plains, at the bottom of a very gentle slope.
From afar, they could see the huge wooden wall beside the slope. It formed an irregular circle around Barbarto Village.
"These logs are the most precious assets of our village. Our ancestors risked their lives to collect them from the Herrocky Mountain Ridge." Valencia was very proud of the walls of Barbarto Village.
However, she was a little disappointed at the same time. Why did the villagers lose the courage of their ancestors? They did not even have the courage to enter Mitos Valley, let alone collect logs from the Herrocky Mountain Ridge.
However, looking at the huge logs, each of them was 30 meters tall and more than 2 meters in diameter. They were densely packed together and could withstand a lot of dangers.
For example, the greedy grassland wolves and the small wandering zombie hordes.
Tang Ling was slightly shocked. It was a necessary respect for Valencia. As a matter of fact, compared to the huge stone wall of Safety Sector No. 17, the wooden wall was very thin.
Aside from everything else, even a small monster horde attack from the Hope Barrier would be difficult for the wooden wall to withstand.
Here, you would be amazed at how difficult it was to live in a safe village. It was no wonder that according to the records, many safe villages would disappear every year. Many wanderers would rather wander around than stay in one place and build a safe village.
At the same time, Tang Ling was impressed by the luck of the villagers. For a village to survive until now, it was a blessing from the heavens.
After matching the special password, Valencia led Tang Ling into Barbarto Village.
The moment they walked through the wooden door, Tang Ling saw many cows and sheep. They were undoubtedly the most docile breeds in the Purple Moon era.
Because the cows and sheep were squeezed behind the wooden wall, the place was filled with the stench of cow and sheep dung. Combined with the unique smell of the animals, it was not particularly unpleasant but a little pungent.
Other than that, the humans lived in tents. In the Purple Moon era, tents were considered defenseless.
The tents were like mushrooms scattered among the herds of cows and goats. Occasionally, there would be spotted Winski Hounds. Even in the Purple Moon era, these large dogs were extremely close to humans. They would run among the herds of cows and goats, barking and chasing the naughty calves and goats back to their respective herds.
Tang Ling was curious about the scene. It was a completely different scene from the one in Safety Sector No. 17.
However, Valencia was a little embarrassed. She said softly, "Before the Purple Moon rises, the cows and sheep must be brought back to the village."
"I understand." Tang Ling smiled, stretched his body, and took a deep breath. He actually liked to see different sceneries.
His action somehow won Valencia's fondness for Tang Ling. After all, the Raqir Plains would welcome merchant groups every year.
Even though the merchant groups tried their best to control their emotions, they would occasionally show their disdain for the village.
Judging from Tang Ling's reaction, he seemed to really like Barbarto Village.
"Let's go. My tent is over there. My mother makes delicious milk tea. I'm sure you can drink a few bowls of it." Valencia was very friendly. The Prairie people were like that. The more they liked you, the more they would share all the good stuff with you.
"Milk tea!" Tang Ling's eyes shone brightly.
"Yes, milk tea! Hahaha … "Valencia laughed heartily.
**
Ten minutes later, Tang Ling arrived at Valencia's tent.
Compared to the other tents in the village, Valencia's tent was twice as big. Her family must have a higher status in Barbarto Village.
Tang Ling sized up Valencia's tent while his mind was calculating. He wanted to get more information about the black market, so the family with a higher status in the village should know more.
Other than that, Tang Ling felt that the village was a little strange.
It was already dusk, so it was time for dinner. The cows and sheep had been brought back to the village, but none of the tents in the village had smoke coming out from their chimneys.
Did they eat raw food? This was clearly impossible! Even primitive men knew how to start a fire to roast meat.
Other than the cows and sheep, there was no one else in the village. Valencia's tent was at the deeper part of the village, but Tang Ling and Valencia had crossed the whole village and only met two people.
One was a lonely old man sitting outside his small, dark tent, and the other was a child mumbling to himself with a little lamb in his arms.
In short, both of them were shrouded in a sorrowful atmosphere.
What's going on in the village? Tang Ling instinctively wondered, but he was not too concerned since he was just a passerby in Barbarto Village.
"Come on in. I'll ask Abu to slaughter a tender lamb and ask Erji to make the ash lamb soup that he's best at tonight. Hand-caught lamb …" Valencia said happily as she pulled up the curtain of the tent.
Tang Ling's mouth watered when he saw Valencia standing in front of the tent.
"Abu? Why is he here?" Valencia's expression changed and she looked very unhappy.
Tang Ling stood behind Valencia and saw four people sitting around the brazier in Valencia's tent. Two of them were a middle-aged couple, a young man, and an old lady.
Without a doubt, the two people who looked similar to Valencia must be her parents, and the old lady must be the mother that Valencia mentioned.
As for the young man with bulging muscles, he must be the source of Valencia's anger.
Tang Ling felt a little awkward. Should he bid farewell and spend the night with the cows and sheep? However, he was reluctant to part with the milk tea and ash lamb soup.
"Valencia, you're late. A girl shouldn't be back so late, "the middle-aged man said. At the same time, he saw Tang Ling behind Valencia and raised a surprised brow. "Who's this kid behind you?"
"He's my friend." Valencia dragged Tang Ling into the house, forcing him to smile awkwardly at the crowd.
However, Valencia's action somehow infuriated the young man. His gaze at Tang Ling was a little unfriendly.
"Mother, this is a very important friend of mine. Can you make some milk tea for him?" Valencia pulled Tang Ling to the brazier and asked him to sit down. Then, she acted like a spoiled child to the old lady.
"Erm, can you make some ash lamb soup tonight? I want to treat my friend, so I can't let him think that the people of Barbarto Village aren't generous enough. "Valencia nudged the middle-aged woman's face.
"Abu, can you kill a tender lamb? A small one is fine too. "Valencia held the middle-aged man's hand.
Throughout the whole process, Valencia did not even bat an eye at the young man.
However, Tang Ling sensed a subtle atmosphere. When they were talking about killing the lamb, the whole family seemed to be in a difficult position. It was not because they were stingy, but it was because they were really in a difficult position.
Just when Tang Ling wanted to say something, the young man angrily said, "Valencia, don't let your guard down. The people of the grassland might be kind, but there are many bad people from the outside world. How can you just pull a random man back and say that he's your friend? "
"Uncle Wenbu, it's better not to kill the lamb. What's the situation in Barbarto Village? How can they kill the lamb? "
The young man then looked at Tang Ling. "My friend, Barbarto Village isn't a good place to entertain guests now. Since it's not dark yet, I'll send you out."
After that, the young man stood up. As if he wanted to show off his strength to Tang Ling, he purposely flexed his muscles, making his body look unusually strong under his leather robe.
"Bartu, don't cross the line. Since when do you have the right to make the decisions for my guests? "Valencia was furious.
"Why can't I make the decisions? My family is willing to give you 100 lambs and 50 cows to tide you through this crisis. And you will be my wife. " The man named Bartu was also a little angry. He could not bear to see Valencia protecting Tang Ling.
Tang Ling looked up at Bartu and scratched his head. "100 goats and 50 cows. Is that a lot? I think it will only last for a month. "
