Chapter 686 There is a price for using me as a knife
Author: Qingzhulin
Lin Wanwan's face was covered with a gauze scarf, and when she found the Bayefeng brothers in the night, they were roasting unknown meat.
Lin Wanwan handed Naba a package of air-dried beef jerky bought at a modern B&B to Naba. The latter looked at her brother longingly. Seeing him nodding, she cheered and took the oil paper package.
The beef jerky is very dry in the sun, and under the dim light of the fire, it feels like a stick of wood.
Only by putting it in your mouth and biting it patiently with your teeth can you feel the rich meaty aroma, full chewiness and endless aftertaste.
"I brought you tea cakes." Lin Wanwan sat down on a stool made from unknown animal bones next to Bayefeng. "You can use it to manage your affairs."
Ba Yefeng was holding a long pole and was concentrating on roasting meat, turning the meat on the fire from time to time: "How dare you come."
Lin Wanwan smiled: "Why don't I dare to come? Didn't I say that I would pay you for traveling to Chang'an. I don't have many advantages, but I still keep my word."
Ba Ye said without raising his head: "Are you sure?"
Lin Wanwan said: "Of course. Besides, don't you really want me to come with you and help you deal with the leader with the strange weapons in my hand?"
Ba Yefeng sprinkled cumin powder on the unknown meat, and the air was suddenly filled with the smell of cumin.
The flickering fire illuminated his young and heroic face in spots, and the meat skewers made a "sizzling" sound.
"Did you guess it?" Ba Yefeng asked without any shame.
A person who can appear alone in the grassland and escape from the sight of a caravan after exchanging so many treasures should not be underestimated.
"I thought of it when I was getting the things, but I didn't expect you to admit it so quickly."
Lin Wanwan took out a piece of tea cake, pulled off a little and threw it into the steaming pot beside it. The aroma of tea suddenly overflowed. Then Lin Wanwan took out a few more eggs and threw them in.
While Naba was chewing beef jerky with her toothless mouth, she blinked her big eyes and stared curiously at the tea leaves and eggs that Lin Wanwan threw into the wild vegetable pot.
Such a luxurious way to eat tea eggs has never been thought of by Chang'an, a city that everyone in the world longs for, not to mention this poor tribe that can't even afford it.
"Since you have guessed it, why do you still come here? The grassland at night is a world full of dangers, especially when you are carrying a huge treasure." Ba Yefeng watched Lin Wanwan tossing in the pot of wild vegetable soup.
It's both tea and eggs, and just a smell of it can arouse the gluttons in your stomach.
"I'll help you deal with the person you want to deal with, and you go sell my junior sister's life for ten years. Can this business be done?" Lin Wanwan did not answer Ba Yefeng's words, but directly made a condition.
Ba Yefeng handed the grilled meat skewers to his sister Naba, then smiled and showed his white teeth: "Your sleeve crossbow, or your weird iron weapon?"
Lin Wanwan pointed to the boiling tea in the pot without feeling dissatisfied, and said with a smile: "With this pot of tea eggs, why do you think I can be tough? Didn't your master Shi Monk, who studied under Tang Xuanzang, never teach you?
Is there any other way?"
Ba Yefeng started to eat meat skewers by himself. The way he ate was very elegant and matched his appearance, but it didn't quite match his overall temperament.
Temperament is hard to describe, it can only be felt but not expressed in words.
Anyway, Ba Yefeng will definitely not give people the impression of a gentle and gentle young man, but more like a sword that can be unsheathed at any time.
He slowly finished chewing several skewers of meat and then said, "You Tang women are the best at bringing about unexplained death. I believe you."
Lin Wanwan smiled sweetly: "That's because you don't understand."
Since ancient times, none of the "princesses" who have married in the Western Regions are good-natured. If they are good-natured, there is a high probability that they will not live long.
It is impossible not to take away a wave of human lives wherever the princess passes. In order to ensure that the heir is the princess's child, the other sons of the old Khan must naturally die.
When the children of the princess grow up, the old Khan should also die at the right time.
The medical treatment in this land is still very backward. In the Central Plains and coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to witch doctors, there were also great doctors who had a thorough understanding of herbal medicine and the meridians of the human body.
And here, there are only witch doctors who combine bloodletting therapy and dancing skills, and their understanding of medicine is basically non-existent, let alone poison.
Perhaps only a khan who had married a Han princess would have this insight.
Although Ba Yefeng was a cheap disciple of Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty, he didn't know much about these things.
The medicinal powders Lin Wanwan carried with her were all masterpieces prepared by Xiao Yixun.
This unusual girl has a very strong knowledge of herbal medicine, especially poisonous insects and poisonous weeds. Moreover, she has been influenced by Lingnan witch and Gu masters since she was a child, so her knowledge is not limited to that.
Therefore, the medicinal powder and powder she gave Lin Wanwan were absolutely trustworthy in their effects.
"I promised and I will not break my promise." Ba Yefeng stood up, picked up his sister who had finished eating the meat and went to get water to wash up.
In an era when most people don't pay attention to hygiene, Ba Yefeng is indeed very different.
"Do you drink raw water?" Lin Wanwan asked.
"?" Ba Yefeng didn't understand why Lin Wanwan suddenly asked this.
"I'll give you a piece of advice, never drink unboiled water. This can prevent many diseases." Lin Wanwan held her chin and watched as Ba Yefeng opened the curtain of the yurt, took the little guy who was squealing under his arm and left.
Got in.
Lin Wanwan did not follow, but waited quietly.
The light here is very dark, only the small fire under the pot is burning. It seems that Naba can't wait for the pot of tea eggs to be cooked.
There were some dim lights in front of the neighbor's tent a few meters away, but Lin Wanwan was not interested.
In this tribe, only the Ba Yefeng brothers and sisters could stand near their yurt. The rest of the place was filled with a stench that she couldn't stand.
Lin Wanwan guessed that the mother of the Bayefeng brothers and sisters might have been a maid or a female official in the marriage of a certain princess. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why he was so different.
Shi Pantuo may be very powerful, but he cannot be very good at hygiene. After all, he is a native Hu, so Ba Yefeng's hygiene habits must not be learned from him.
It's different with the maids who marry you. Anyone who can go out with the princess is a useful person. Whether they are maids or slaves, craftsmen or soldiers, they must have some skills.
Moreover, it seems natural for people who come from the palace to have good hygiene habits.
The journey from Chang'an to the grasslands and the desert was full of difficulties.
Not to mention the bandits, robbers and horse thieves along the way, just the long distance, inconvenient transportation, slow carriages and horses, and unsuitable acclimatization can cost many lives.
A few dowry maids scattered here and there are nothing at all, just like the seriously ill orchids abandoned by big businessmen along the way.
In this world, the lives of people at the bottom are worthless and can be abandoned at any time and at any time.
It is not easy either to leave Chang'an or to go to Chang'an.
