Chapter 249
When Li Wen heard Ye Lila talking about Xishan, he just smiled and said nothing.
"But I smiled in my heart. If I return it to the Wang family, there will be no caravan from Mongolia for the next ten years."
The arrival of the caravan caused a sensation in the Argen tribe, and the adults and children who were still in the tribe ran out one after another.
"Old guest Li, you are very punctual and a Daxia person who keeps his word." Ye Erxia was filled with excitement when she saw Li Wen arriving.
Ye Erxia has not been idle these two days, running back and forth among more than a dozen tribes with her son and other herdsmen of the tribe.
He even went to a large tribal city a hundred kilometers away and took out most of his belongings, including all the supplies Li Wen had traded in the previous two times.
Of course, his travels were not in vain, as he acquired many cattle, sheep, horses, and even a piece of pasture.
If Li Wen does not come this time, although the Argen tribe will not become poor, it will offend many tribes.
Because many of the cattle, sheep and horses were owed by Yeersha on credit, they could only wait until this transaction and repay them with the materials exchanged from Li Wen.
"Leader Ye Xia, let your tribe guide you. When you get to the gate of your tribe, unload your things!" Li Wen pointed at the cavalry behind him and said with a smile.
"No problem, no problem!" Ye Erxia turned to the tribesmen who were watching and said a few words.
When the horse team arrived at the Argen tribe, Li Wen and a dozen herdsmen unloaded all the things.
Li Wen can't do it without him! These horses have only been tamed for a few days and are easily frightened when they see strangers.
"Chief Alsha, I brought a lot of good things this time. Did you see those jars?
Those jars are filled with white wine. With them, your tribe will no longer be afraid of the cold in winter.
And those soybeans and corn can keep your people and horses well-fed and survive the cold winter safely." After speaking, Li Wen opened a wine jar and handed it to Alsha who was standing aside.
As the jar was opened, the shaking white wine splashed out, and the mellow aroma of wine instantly filled the air.
"What a delicious wine!" The male herdsmen standing nearby twitched their noses and sniffed hard towards the wine jar.
"Yeliza, bring me the silver bowl." Ye Erxia smelled the wine, and the glutton in her stomach was aroused.
The clear white wine was poured into an exquisite silver bowl, with countless hops floating around, making it even more fragrant.
"Xiang, old guest Li, take this drink and wish our friendship." Ye Erxia did not pour it for anyone else, but poured half a bowl for herself and Li Wen.
"For friendship!" Li Wen smiled and raised the silver bowl.
After drinking, Li Wen handed Ye Erxia the detailed list of supplies, which was more intuitive.
"Old guest Li, you are truly a noble person sent by heaven. On behalf of the Argen tribe, I would like to thank you for your generosity." Ye Xia said and bowed to Li Wen.
After being polite, the next step is to discuss prices and transactions. Because Li Wen already proposed last time, sheep and horses are no longer needed.
So the items traded by the Argen tribe this time were changed to cattle, donkeys, camels, dried meat and dairy products.
Naturally, it was impossible for Li Wen to trade with the herdsmen one by one, as that would be too troublesome.
Therefore, except for the livestock, all the remaining items were collected in a large yurt for Li Wen to inspect.
Previously, the price of exchanging sheep with the Argen tribe was nine pounds of tea cakes. The cattle and horses were exchanged for daily necessities, so this time they had to be repriced.
In the final discussion, the donkey was calculated as 40 kilograms of tea, 10 kilograms of brown sugar, and 20 kilograms of liquor. The price of cattle was one-third higher than that of donkeys, and the price of camels was calculated as twice that of cattle.
There are still 7,000 kilograms of grain, but no matter how valuable the grain is, the price is limited. Li Wen did not rip people off, and gave Ye Erxia a friendship price.
In total, the grain was exchanged for 25 donkeys, which was not as valuable as the remaining 1,000 kilograms of daily necessities.
The price given by Li Wen was already the best price. The merchants who came to the Argen tribe in the past did not even get half of what Li Wen offered.
Ye Erxia was overjoyed when he got the price. If he resold these things, he would get twice the profit! How could he not be excited?
The two then calculated the quantity that the Argen tribe needed to trade based on the Argen tribe's livestock.
The supplies Li Wen brought this time seemed to be a lot, and they only replaced 600 large livestock.
In the past few days, Ye Erxia and her tribe had acquired more than 300 cattle, more than 100 donkeys, and dozens of camels from other tribes.
Together with the Argen tribe's original large livestock, it was more than enough to exchange for the 600 livestock Li Wen wanted.
"Chief Alsha, there are a lot of big animals this time. Can you send a few people to help me drive them to the canyon ten miles away? We will have someone to come to meet you then." At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Wen looked at the door of the Argen tribe.
Nearly seven hundred large animals complained of sore mouths.
"No problem, my friend, I will arrange for ten people to help you drive there. It is really difficult for you to drive such a big animal alone." Ye Ersha laughed.
"Then thank you Chief Ye'erxia for your generosity. We will see you again in the future!" Li Wen said goodbye to everyone who was seeing him off at the gate of the Argen tribe.
"Ye Lila, I'm sorry to trouble you all, I will pay you when we get to the place." Li Wen promised the herdsmen who helped drive the cattle.
"Friends, there is no mention of reward!" Ye Lilila Daxia stumbled over her words and her face turned red.
Li Wen didn't say anything else. He led the horses, tied the cow behind the tricycle, and walked in front.
The big animal's legs were very fast, and everyone reached their destination in less than an hour.
This small canyon was discovered by Li Wen while wandering a few days ago. It has no exit, only an entrance, and contains more than ten acres of land.
"Okay Ye Lila, please help us get all the animals! Our caravan will send people over to transport them away later." Li Wen directed everyone to drive all the animals in.
"Li, don't you want us to stay with you? It's not safe here after dark." Ye Lila asked doubtfully.
"No need Ye Lila, my team will be here soon. I won't wait until dark before I have this." Li Wen said, waving the rifle in his hand.
"Okay then! Goodbye friends from the Argen tribe." Ye Lila led her tribe members and left on horseback.
After Ye Lila and others had walked for five or six minutes, Li Wen climbed to the top of the canyon and began to explore around.
"That's weird, why are there people behind the canyon?"
Li Wen's eyesight was very good, and he noticed that there were four or five people riding horses looking towards him on the hillside a few kilometers away.
"Could it be that the Argen tribe saw a person making a deal for the last time and are planning to attack me?" Li Wen jumped down the valley in confusion.
"It's better to be careful!" Li Wen came to the mouth of the canyon, blocked the three-meter-long exit with a prepared big stone, and then waited quietly.
Time passed little by little, and it became clear that the people and horses on the opposite hillside couldn't wait any longer, and all the hidden people and horses came out, totaling fifteen people.
A group of people rushed towards Li Wen on horseback. After getting closer, Li Wen finally saw clearly that these people were not herdsmen from the Argen tribe.
Because of the bonus of space, Li Wen could say that he never forgets anything. In the past few days, he has recognized the faces of more than a thousand people from the Argen tribe. These people are obviously not.
"What are you doing? Don't come any closer, I'll shoot you if you get close."
When he was four or five hundred meters away from the canyon, Li Wen took out the tweeter he had set up in his space and asked loudly.
These people were stunned for a moment when they heard Li Wen's horn, then whispered a few words to each other and continued running towards Li Wen.
"Grandma, it seems that I can't be kind today. If I don't show off my power, I will really think that the time traveler is a sick cat!" Li Wen quickly took out all the firearms and homemade bombs and Molotov cocktails he had collected from the space.
Li Wen has excellent eyesight. Ever since he got a gun, he has used rabbits to practice his shooting skills in the small world. Now he is not said to be perfect, but he can be regarded as an experienced gunman.
Li Wen was lying on the rock holding an M1, and shot the bearded man in the head.
"Bang!"
The bearded man fell to the ground.
The others saw that their companion did not stop and continued to rush over.
"Mom!" Li Wen fired three more times.
The people on the other side did not expect that Li Wen had such shooting skills, and they were all horrified, but this was not what they were most worried about.
