Chapter 245: near the south
??Chapter 245 Approaching the Southern Kingdom
??Su Ying shook her head, "How is your father?"
??Zhang Shulun said: "Thanks to Guardian Orange, Afu's wound has been healed, and he just woke up."
??Su Ying nodded, "Where is Guardian Orange?"
?? "Guardian Orange has been helping the clansmen to heal the whole time, and only stopped at dawn."
??Su Ying didn't expect that Orange Guardian's medical skills are so reliable, so she followed Zhang Shulun to the house of the patriarch Zhang Ping.
??Zhang Ping has woken up and is leaning weakly on the bed at this time. He heard what Su Ying, Zhang Shulun and Su Ying said in the yard just now, and he also knows that Su Ying is the benefactor who saved him and his family.
?? "Our Lady..."
?? "You can call me City Lord Su." She somewhat resisted the title of Holy Mother.
?? "Thank you, Lord Su, for saving your life."
??Su Ying went to the bed to check his pulse. The pulse was weak, but it was still strong. The wounds on his body were all bandaged, so she didn't check.
?? "It's good to be alive."
??When Su Ying said this, both father and son had red eyes. This time, the tribe suffered a catastrophe. When Su Ying arrived, those people had already tortured and killed the tribe, and I don’t know how many tribe members died.
??Thanks to those people who had evil intentions towards the women in the clan and didn't kill them immediately, Su Ying arrived later and rescued the captured women from those wicked people.
?? "I heard that City Lord Su came here this time to buy medicinal materials."
"right."
?? "I asked them to sort out all the medicinal materials. City Lord Su can take back whatever he wants."
?? "You ask them to mark the types of all medicinal materials, and I will give you the same price as before."
?? "How can I ask for money from City Lord Su? You are our savior, and the medicinal materials should be given to you as a thank you gift."
??Su Ying heard from the people of the Xingluo tribe, because they are people outside any country. To put it bluntly, they have no backing and can only rely on planting medicinal materials to maintain their daily lives.
??The merchants who came to buy also saw that they had no support, and the prices they gave were very low, so they could only make ends meet.
??If Su Ying took this batch of medicinal materials for nothing, they might not even have rations before the spring harvest next year, and everyone would starve to death. Who will grow medicinal materials?
?? "Here you are, just take it."
Seeing Su Ying's insistence, Zhang Ping couldn't say anything. Their current situation does not allow income without money. Many men in the tribe have been killed, and the rough labor force will be reduced by half. Next year's life may not be good Have a good time.
??Su Ying took out two lists from her body, one was the medicinal materials that Tiankui City bought here before, and the other was the medicinal materials she wanted.
?? "Patriarch Zhang, take a look, can you grow these medicinal materials here?"
??Patriarch Zhang took the list and looked at it, "Some of these can be planted, but some are not. Our place is cold and wet, and some seedlings cannot survive here."
?? "Those can be planted, you tell me."
??Patriarch Zhang asked Zhang Shulun to get a pen and draw in circles what can be planted.
??Su Ying asked them to clearly mark the months when these plants will be planted, so that she can get the medicine seeds or seedlings according to the above time.
??By the time Su Ying finished chatting with Patriarch Zhang, Guardian Orange had already woken up, and when he learned that Su Ying was back, he rushed over immediately.
?? "The city lord."
"kindness."
?? "Does the city lord still want to visit other tribes?" Orange Guardian asked.
After hearing what Su Ying said, Zhang Zuzhang answered, "Does City Lord Su want to go to other tribes to buy medicinal materials? You don't have to make a special trip in this icy and snowy place. I'll send someone to those tribes to spread the word and let them Just ask someone to bring the medicinal materials to you."
??Su Ying thinks this is fine. Let their person in charge come over, and she can explain the situation to them directly.
"good."
There are as many as ten tribes in this area. In order to prevent conflicts between the tribes, they made an agreement in private that the medicinal materials planted by each tribe cannot be repeated, so that there will be no interest exchanges between the tribes. , it is not easy to have conflicts, and it is more conducive to the unity between tribes.
??After all, they don't have a backer, and the tribes still need to help each other. It's just that the southerners came too suddenly. Before they had time to ask other tribes for support, Su Ying appeared.
Su Ying came here mainly to learn about the terrain and the area where the tribe is located, and to inquire about the planting of some medicinal materials. In addition, there is another purpose, which has nothing to do with the tribe. .
??Patriarch Zhang sent someone to inform the people of other tribes, and while waiting, he arranged for Su Ying to stay at his house temporarily.
?? Most of the people in the tribe are very hardworking, and the tribe will help each other, so every household has shelter from the wind and rain.
??The patriarch's house also has a vacant house, and Su Ying lived there temporarily before people from other tribes arrived.
??At night, Zhang Shulun's mother killed a chicken for Su Ying, and made a wild vegetable and egg soup. The vegetables used to make the soup were fresh Chinese cabbage, and she scrambled an egg, and made a bowl of dried plums and vegetables.
?? There are not many dishes, but they are already the best they can come up with.
?? After Aunt Zhang finished the meal, she brought it directly to Su Ying's room.
?? "City Master Su, you eat, there is still big white rice in the pot, if it is not enough, you can say hello, I will serve it for you."
??Su Ying glanced at the food on the small table, "Is it all mine?"
?? "Yes, yes, we still have some in the pot, just eat it, let go."
??Su Ying can feel their kindness, and she is generally not polite to such things.
?? "Thank you very much."
?? "No thanks, no thanks, it is our blessing to be able to repay City Lord Su." Aunt Zhang was afraid that Su Ying would be uncomfortable in the house, so she left the house after putting away the food.
??Su Ying was indeed rude, and ate all four dishes without any leftovers, and by the way, he also killed half a pot of rice.
?? She has been eating dry food for the past few days, and she has long been greedy for the meals made by Uncle He and the others. Although she still can't eat them now, it's good to have a bite of warm food.
?? After eating and drinking, Su Ying took out the map that patriarch Zhang gave her.
?? This is a map of the Northern Wilderness, which is more detailed than anything she has seen before.
Looking at the markings on the map, she discovered that behind the city of Tiankui, that is, in the direction of the tribe, is another border land of the Southern Kingdom, and the area in the direction of the entrance of the Northern Wilderness is the southern border of the Southern Kingdom. This side is the Western Territory.
?? It can be seen from this that the size of the Northern Wilderness is such that one quarter of a country is divided in front and back.
??And here, this tribe is not the only one, there are countless other large and small ethnic groups distributed in other places.
