Chapter 737 The First Businessman
He stepped onto the coastline and walked along the coastline.
At night, he chased the moon.
During the day, he follows the sun.
He would go wherever there was light, like a moth chasing the light, and waited until he woke up. He didn't know how long had passed.
When he regained consciousness, he was standing next to a lake, looking at a big tree burning like fire in the distance.
Under the night sky, the tree stretched hard toward the sky. The trunk was so thick that two people could hug it. The branches were tilted upward, with sparks jumping on the branches.
At the top, there are several huge red leaves blooming like a lotus flower, which are also the only leaves.
so beautiful.
Attracting him towards the other side.
When he was about to get close to the tree, suddenly there was a shout from behind, accompanied by the sound of rapid footsteps.
"Don't come close, that's a man-eating monster."
Someone rushed out of the shadows of the jungle by the lake and grabbed him.
And he finally came back to his senses and looked at the other person.
It was a middle-aged man with a big beard and a sleeveless shirt. He was originally supposed to be carrying a bamboo basket and a box. At this moment, the things were thrown not far away. It should have been after seeing him.
Thrown away.
He was taken to a rock by the man and sat down, where the man was supposed to be resting.
The man told him that it was not a glowing tree at all, but probably a strange glowing tree that would prey on you if you got close.
The black-haired young man listened carefully. He obviously couldn't understand the other party's language, but for some reason he knew the meaning of the other party's language.
While he was talking, the tree moved.
The huge tree suddenly bent down, and branches fell to the ground to support itself.
The leaves on the top are opening and closing. If you look closely, they are not leaves at all.
But its mouthparts.
This is a bug.
It ran towards the distance, leaving a burning trail on the ground it passed, and this also confirmed what the bearded man had just said.
The black-haired young man watched the weird insect go away and finally said his first words.
"Thank you for saving me."
However, the bearded man looked at the black-haired young man in great surprise, and even dropped the things in his hands to the ground.
Because the black-haired young man didn't speak at all when he spoke just now, but the voice appeared directly in his mind.
The black-haired young man did not look at the bearded man's surprised expression, but finally began to pay attention to himself.
He touched the fabric on his body and found that he was wearing a round-neck sweatshirt that someone had put on for him. It was very loose and comfortable, with a cloth belt tied around his waist.
There was only one wooden-soled rattan shoe left on her feet, and the strap of the last one was broken, so it could only be put on her feet reluctantly.
"It must have been given to you by a woman."
The bearded man pointed at him, playing with the rattan shoes on his feet, and said mysteriously.
"Only women can weave such exquisite flowers. We usually make our own shoes as simple as possible."
"Look, your shoes not only use cork as the sole, but also have patterns carved on them. They are really beautiful."
The black-haired young man said: "I don't know either."
The bearded man noticed something unusual about the black-haired young man, so he asked cautiously.
"Which tribe are you from? Are you from nearby?"
After saying that, he immediately denied it.
"It's not like that. There doesn't seem to be anyone like you in the nearby tribes."
"Your hair is actually black. It looks very special. I have never seen a black-haired tribe before."
He came closer and asked again.
"Why are you walking alone in the wilderness? It's so dangerous outside. Could it be that you were alone while hunting and gathering?"
The young man doesn't remember it at all.
He didn't know what his name was, and he couldn't remember anything about himself. He just felt like he had been sleeping for a long time, until he felt like he had turned into a stone.
He asked the bearded man: "What are you doing, and why are you alone in the wild?"
The middle-aged man hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
Finally, he pointed to the basket and box he was carrying.
"I mainly walk around with some of the things I find, and then I exchange some food with them every time I go to a tribe, as well as some things I need in daily life."
The man in front of me talked a lot, which sounded very confusing.
But the black-haired young man seemed to understand.
"Oh, you are a businessman."
Although the black-haired young man spoke without opening his mouth, the meaning he conveyed was more precise than his voice.
Big Beard had never had the concept of a merchant in his mind, and the tribes in this world did not have the profession of a merchant, but when he heard the other party tell him, he knew what a merchant was.
The bearded man's eyes lit up and he said loudly.
"Yes, I am a businessman."
The black-haired young man just said something casually. The bearded man suddenly became very happy for some reason and kept saying the word "businessman", as if this word he had just learned had some magical charm.
The bearded man chatted with the black-haired young man for a long time, but he still didn't know his name, so he asked quickly.
"May I have your name?"
He couldn't remember it, but he didn't really care.
He said: "You can call me whatever you want, I will call you Big Beard!"
The bearded man said: "Then I will call you Helfas."
It means, a person with black hair.
Bearded people and black-haired people were all named in this way, simply and clearly, according to each person's most distinctive characteristics.
A name is just a name and characteristics used to address someone, and does not have as many meanings as it does later.
The bearded man took out a pair of cane shoes from his basket and handed them to Helfas, the black-haired man who had just been given a title.
"Your shoes are broken and one is missing. You can't walk without them."
He pushed the shoe forcefully into Herfas' hand, looking very bold.
"This is how I express my gratitude to you for telling me about the profession of a businessman."
The black-haired young man was a little dazed, because when the bearded man turned around to get his shoes, he saw something strange with the help of the moonlight, which was a tail.
"Tail?"
Watching the black-haired young man sit on the stone and put on his shoes, the bearded man also noticed this problem. He didn't have a tail.
"No tail?"
"Has your tail been chopped off?"
The black-haired young man instinctively felt that it was strange for a person to have a tail, but the bearded man felt that Helfas was pitiful without a tail.
However, the bearded man was a little closer to the black-haired young man, and even judged another thing based on the fact that he had no tail.
"You must have been kicked out by some tribe."
"It doesn't matter, you can survive even without the tribe, just stay with me as a merchant for the time being!"
"I'm very experienced in how to survive."
The black-haired man put on new shoes, but he didn't throw away the old shoes, but put them away.
In the following days, he was no longer a moth chasing the light, but followed the bearded man towards another destination, which was a large tribe named Jin.
However, gold does not mean gold, but metal. Copper, iron and various metals are collectively called gold in the bearded mouth.
It is said that that tribe masters the smelting technology and is very famous in the Land of the Full Moon.
On the road.
He also learned the language of the bearded man, instead of speaking in a way that he could speak without opening his mouth.
According to the other party, this kind of words can be used in dozens of large and small tribes in the New Moon Land. Even if there are some differences, they are still similar.
But once you leave here, things will be different elsewhere.
