Zhang Zhong was stunned. He didn't have time to think about what Wang Xing said about making decisions. He immediately let these people enter the manor. Someone ran over to find a doctor. It was safer to treat this kind of illness. The main thing was that these people came down from the mountain and could be communicated with. No matter what, they had to be saved.
The six mountain people who also came down from the mountain were arranged to bathe and change clothes. Some people also prepared some food. The people who helped didn't chase them out. They also arranged rooms for them to repeat the six mountain people's routine.
The commoners were very happy. They sent these people back alive, and they were even allowed to stay in the manor by a good official. This wasn't a place that just anyone could come here. After they finished bathing and changed into dry clothes, they came to a hall to eat. They were even more excited. Now, they had something to talk about when they went out.
At this time, Zhang Zhong was also listening to Wang Xing and Zhang Lu's report. After knowing that these were mountain people and the way they dealt with them, he nodded with satisfaction. "Good, you did a good thing. Wang Xing directly promoted to four stars, and Zhang Lu also promoted to four stars. According to this promotion, go and receive your rewards yourselves."
"Thank you, master." The two people said happily at the same time. They turned and ran to receive their rewards. On the way, Wang Xing said to Zhang Lu, "You have to treat me to a meal. Let's eat in a good restaurant outside."
"Sure, the best restaurant is our Ocean Wave Pavilion. I can afford it. Let's eat seafood." Zhang Lu agreed readily. After all, it didn't cost much, and it was seafood.
Zhang Zhong waited for the two people to leave. He sat there and began to think about the future. At the same time, he was very gratified. The people in the inner courtyard were much stronger than before. They could take care of things on their own. Although they didn't give out much, it was enough to make people feel that it was a lot. As long as the mountain people's matter was solved, this place would be stable.
"Someone, go and tell this matter to Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. Tell them to come back quickly." Zhang Zhong stood up and prepared to check on the sick man. He shouted to the people in the steward's room. Two people immediately ran over, putting on their straw raincoats and bamboo hats.
By the time Zhang Zhong found the place for treatment, the six hill-dwellers were already standing in the hallway of the house. They did not dare to enter and disturb him, nor did they want to be drenched outside.
When they saw Zhang Zhong coming over and saw Zhang Zhong's official robes, the six people knelt down one after another. They were very respectful as they spoke in a language that Zhang Zhong did not understand. Zhang Zhong hurriedly helped them up one by one. Since they couldn't communicate with words, he would use his body to do it. Zhang Zhong smiled and lightly patted each of their shoulders a few times. He then pointed at the room for treatment and made a shushing gesture before he also waited.
After waiting for an hour, he still did not see anyone come out. Just as Zhang Zhong was getting anxious, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ran in. Zhang Xiaobao looked at the six people and whispered to Zhang Zhong, "Father, how is that person?"
"I don't know. The doctor is still treating him inside. Let's wait for a while. Only that person can speak two languages. Without him, I have no idea what these six people are talking about."
At this time, one of the six people came over and said a few words to Zhang Zhong. Zhang Zhong looked helpless. Zhang Xiaobao also frowned. If it was a commonly used dialect or a dozen commonly used languages in the world, he would have no problem at all. However, he had never heard of this dialect before.
Wang Juan, on the other hand, came over with shining eyes and tried to say a few words to the hill-dweller. The hill-dweller shook his head and slowed down his speech to speak to Wang Juan. Wang Juan frowned and also slowed down her speech. She began to talk to the hill-dweller with her hand gestures.
After talking for a while, the six hill-dwellers knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Zhong. They seemed very happy and respectful.
"Cuckoo, how did you know?" Zhang Xiaobao's lips moved.
"I learned it. What can't I know?" Wang Juan raised her head and said, "Actually, I came into contact with this language when I was doing a mission in the past. At that time, the place they were at was too torturous. The two neighboring villages spoke different languages. Fortunately, they all knew Mandarin.
I stayed there for three months and learned from the locals when I was bored. When I was almost done, I left. I didn't expect the hill-dwellers to speak the same language as the people there. Occasionally, there would be a difference in vocabulary. You'll know after a few gestures. "
Zhang Xiaobao understood now. He looked at his father and thought about how to explain it to him. Zhang Zhong was indeed curious. How could his daughter-in-law speak such a language? His daughter-in-law had always stayed at home. When did she learn it?
Although he was curious, Zhang Zhong had already acquiesced to this kind of thing. He could accept even more unimaginable things. He had already gotten used to it over the years. What else could he do? His son was his, and so was his daughter-in-law. When he saw his son looking over, he touched his son's head and said,
"Xiao Bao, in a while, when that person wakes up, when I talk to him and ask him to convey his thoughts to the six people, let Cuckoo listen by the side. Don't make a mistake."
Zhang Zhong didn't mention why Cuckoo would say such a thing. Zhang Xiaobao nodded and didn't say anything. However, he was very touched. Although there were so many incredible things, his family never asked and always supported him silently.
Wang Juan stuck out her tongue. Just now, she was anxious and excited. Otherwise, she wouldn't have talked to him. She stood at the side and thought for a while. She felt that she should be familiar with the vocabulary, so she started talking to the six people again.
Before the person came out, Wang Juan had already understood a lot of things. She said to Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Zhong, "He said that village? Tribe? There are 'some' people, more than the people who sent them here, fewer than the people who work at the docks. They produce Cui Yu there.
They also said that they lack salt. Two children are about to be born, so they came over to exchange for cloth and salt. They used the salt to rub the children's bodies and used cloth to wrap the children. They said that if they used fur to wrap the children, the children would be uncomfortable and would always cry. They also said that the people here didn't treat them well in the past, but now the people here are good to them.
They said that they don't need to give them so many things. They just need to buy the soaked fur at a normal price. They will buy things back. Every time they say that, the sun in the sky has to rise six to seven times and set six to seven times before they can arrive.
They also said that they want to thank us for saving their people. Without that person, they won't dare to come out to buy things in the future. They want us to save their people. They can give us more things the next time they come. That's it. That's it. "
Zhang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's easy. I'm just afraid that they can solve everything by themselves. If they lack things, then give them. There are more people than the people who sent them here. There are more than a hundred people who sent them here. They take turns to carry the shed. There are more than 1,300 people at the docks. It's hard to count."
Zhang Xiaobao was also worried. Suddenly, he thought of an idea and ran out. After a while, he came back with a bag of money on his arm. He put it on the ground and gave Wang Juan a look. Wang Juan immediately started talking to the six people again and pointed to the copper coins on the ground.
A person stood there, squatted down and played with the copper coins. He smiled and grabbed some of them in his hand. He added a few more, thought about it, and subtracted a few more. After a while, he added and subtracted a few more.
"About 300 people. Got it. Sigh! It seems that they don't count. " Zhang Xiaobao estimated the number of copper coins that he caught. There were more than 300 copper coins. As for the number of copper coins that this person added and subtracted, it was not important.
Wang Juan said a few words to this person. This person smiled and stood up. Wang Juan grabbed 6 Jin of copper coins and stuffed it into this person's hand. After she made a gesture, this person happily kept it and put it in his arms.
Along with the sound of the door, the doctor stood at the door and said to Zhang Zhong, "Master, he is fine now. These few days, give him three doses of medicine every day. After changing the medicine twice, he will recover."
Zhang Zhong nodded, "Thank you, Dr. Feng. Go and rest."
Dr. Feng was really tired, so he didn't say anything. He nodded to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with a smile and walked out.
Zhang Zhong led the six people, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan into the room. A person was lying on the bed. He was a little weak, but he was awake. When he saw Zhang Zhong come in, he immediately turned over and bowed to him. Zhang Zhong caught up with him, supported him and said,
"How do you feel? Where do you feel uncomfortable? I will find another doctor to come and take a look. These are your six clansmen. They have been waiting outside. "
At this time, the six people also came over and said to the person. The person was about to turn over and get down again. His eyes were red as he said, "Sir, you are also waiting outside. Sir, I am just a mountain villager. I don't deserve you. You also helped to take care of the six of them. Sir, you are a great benefactor to my clan."
"What mountain people? Since I am an official here, then they are all citizens under my rule. Six young men, it makes me happy to see them. Recuperate well, and when you can move again in a few days, let the six of them carry the gifts that this official has bestowed upon you and carry you back. I heard that you have a child who is about to be born, so you must take good care of him.
Having a new life is a good sign. When my son, Xiao Bao, was born, my family was overjoyed. Since then, our lives have been getting better and better. It's the same for you. Since I'm here, I can't just watch you suffer. "
Zhang Zhong put down his pride and chatted with the person. He even pulled Zhang Xiaobao in front of him to let the person see. Zhang Xiaobao naturally knew what to say. He called him uncle and smiled innocently.
Zhang Zhong said this, but in his heart, he thought, "Your child can't be compared to my son and daughter-in-law. There is nothing they can't do."
